"The dogs of war" is a phrase spoken by the character Mark Antony in William Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar". "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war." In this song, the phrase, "The Dogs of War" describes politicians orchestrating wars, suggesting the major influence behind war is money.💲
@@marcelliott1111 Indeed!
In "Signs of Life", those are the sound of wooden oars creaking as a boat is rowed on the water. :)
It's how the concert started.. dude rowing a boat on screen
A little history lesson: this is the 1st Floyd album after the departure of founding member, bassist and main songwriter Roger Waters.
After the bombastic, thematic nature of The Wall and The Final Cut that was all Roger's inspiration, Gilmour takes things back to the more melodic and sometimes experimental sounds of Darkside and Wish You Were Here.
Consider this and Division Bell to be Pink Floyd 3.0
1st version was with Syd, second with Roger's lead and now Gilmour is in charge.
I've never chosen sides between Roger and David. Both have their pros and cons when it came to songwriting.
But Gilmour takes the edge in that both his voice and of course legendary guitar work were major highlights of the Floyd experience.
I agree with everything you wrote except that Gilmour takes the edge. Waters and The Wall explored the very real Inner Space while Gilmour masterfully explored Outer Space. Darkside is a GREAT album to do LSD and listen to....The Wall should change the way you look at art and life itself.
Unfortunately Gilmour is no great lyricist. Great voice, but Waters had the gritty poetry. It comes through in that all albums post-Waters have little cohesion, they are pop albums, not concept albums, in my view.
@@Achrononmaster On The Turning Away is poetry in my opinion. Harkens back to Us And Them. I think Waters was the explorer of the past to understand the present whereas Gilmour was yearning for hope to lead us into the future. Combining both approaches, an informed journey forward is on more solid ground. 🙂
@@Achrononmaster No they are conceptual just not as cohesive as Waters. dave cant craft a narrative like Rog
@@crazyfingers19 look at Kaos, it's like 8 pop songs innit. Hehe but we know better 😁
This has been one of my favorite albums for a very long time.
Thanks, Silas. It's been a long time since I have listened to this whole album. There are some real gems on here. Especially "On the Turning Away."
Wow, this is probably the first time that someone reacts to the entire A Momentary Lapse of Reason album in one go. Very overlooked album, not one of their classics but extremely well done considering the troubles of the band in those years. Some of my favourites Gilmour guitar works. Well done!
This was the 1st time I ever got to see Pink Floyd live. 2 concerts in Oakland & 1 in Sacramento about a week later. I think my favorite song on this album was 'One Slip'.
I was also at the Sacramento show: Only time I saw PF live, but well worth it!
I saw them on their Momentary Lapse of Reason tour and it was and still is an experience of a lifetime.
My first Floyd album 💿 this one has a special place in my heart cuz it opened the door to hear all their albums.
The Wall was mine, then wish you were. I can't remember after that.
This is actually one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. Probably because I was 16 when it came out and I was already a massive Floyd fan from my Dad's collection. Your videos with your Dad actually remind me of my youth, except it was exploring my Dad's album and reel to reel collection built up from the late 60s at that point. Your enjoyment is infectious. Cheers!
Check out the spectacular live version of LEARNING TO FLY from the Pulse Concert.
Young blood your reactions are fresh and genuine, I really enjoy them. You're just scratching the surface of the metal/ hard rock world and your pops knows of what he speaks. Can't wait for you to dive in the metal pool that is Motorhead, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, RUSH, UFO, Saxon , Van Halen, AC/DC, Ted Nugent and so many many more. Get ready for the ride of your life young brother.
💥👌
These reactions help me appreciate this music, which I have casually lisrened to for years, more. Thanks, Silas!
I’ll also add that prior to this album, Roger wrote most of the lyrics. After this album (Division Bell and David’s last two solo albums), his wife Polly wrote most of the lyrics. Which I am totally okay with it. This album, I’ve never been quite clear who wrote what. David definitely wrote some of the lyrics but so did some others. But in the end, it’s the finished product that matters and I have always connected with this album. One other side note, at one time Dogs of War was voted the worst Pink Floyd song of all time but I feel it has gotten better with age. I’ve always liked it. Even the worst Pink Floyd song (assuming that is even true) is light years better than the best song from many other bands. That’s a testament to who strong and impactful all of their releases have been.
There are many much worse songs on The Wall and The Final Cut! In fact, I would not list it in the worst Pink Floyd songs at all. IMO, most of them were in the 60s. The Dogs of War is a great song. And I agree with Silas, it is the best of the first three tracks opening the album.
Not this album. Most lyrics provided by Andrew Moore. Polly didn't start to write for Pink Floyd until Division Bell.
@@jamesanderson5268 right, I believe I said exactly that. Just in a more convoluted way
@@79BlackRose i don’t disagree. Was just sharing that for a time it was considered that. I’ve always enjoyed Dogs of War and have thought it was unfairly criticized at the time
Thank you Silas, this is one of my favourite Floyd albums. I'm excited to hear your reaction.
I am really enjoying your PF journey.
Keep up the great work.
To listen to Pink Floyd for the first time we all reacted very similar. The places they take you, the thoughts you need to think... Each song gives imo a deep intense feeling.
1st song."Signs of Life." That's a row boat, oars in the water... love to see reaction on Wish you were here n Division Bell...oooo and MEDDLE
John Halliwell from SUPERTRAMP, plays Saxophone on this Album...
Terminal Frost is good instrumental.

You like the guitar. David Gilmour live in Gdansk "A great day for freedom" or Live At Pompeji "Comfortably numb" or "In Any Tongue".
really love learning to fly! silas is too cool!
The chatter you hear in "Learning To Fly". Was actually David Gilmore, he has a pilot's license
Great live show in Raleigh-Durham many moons ago. 9th row in front of dave!
You lucky devil.
In the tour, Dogs of War was perfectly synchronized with the video. Barking dogs running during the intro run toward a man who stands giving them his back. When the dogs are close, the man turns and it's Gilmour who starts singing. It's incredible how the sync was perfect
I'd recommend working in a couple of Gilmour's solo albums from the 80s: self-titled "David Gilmour" and "About Face." Two excellent albums.
It's their first album after Roger Waters left the band, definitely had an overall different sound. Diehard PF fans didn't accept it at first, but as time went on and with some help from FM radio, a few of the best songs got noticed and the album got the respect it deserved.
Oh I loved it as soon as I heard it. I still have it on cassette. I have loved them since I was 15 and am now 62 and am an avid fan, especially of David Gilmour. I’m Australian, and the first cassette melted in the car during summer so I had to get another and now have it on cd for the car. Still love this album!!
@@karenglenn6707 😉
rowing boat
Got this on vinyl years ago
Thankyou for this, Its been a tough day here in the UK today and this has helped.
This is the first album after Roger Waters left the band will be interesting if you have noticed some differences.
"Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war" is from Shakespeares "Julius Ceasar. As for wars well the UK were in the Lebanon "peacekeepers" but most likely its a nod to the Falklands war of 82 which was controversial (Another dig at Maggie Thatcher). There were also strikes through the 80s with lots of police brutality, plus the death and violence in Northern Ireland.
An interesting thing to note David Gilmour was learning to fly a plane at the time of this album.
The opening sounds are someone rowing in a boat across a lake.
When you hear an effect like the one in Learning to Fly it's usually either a phaser, a flanger or a chorus effect.
In this case it's either a phaser or flanger. They're very similar effects and in this case I can't tell which it is but maybe someone else can clarify.
One Slip is awesome. That's _immediately_ next hehe
So sweet that intro innit ha
I always felt like Signs of Life was the boat crossing the river Styx, bringing a new life to the world. Each song advancing life from learning to walk(fly) maturing, and ending in a sorrowful death. But my mind is dramatic that way.
'Division Bell' for the next Pink Floyd album Please. Then 'On an Island'. Cant wait to see you do those 2, youre gonna love it. On an Island is David Gilmour's( Pink Floyds Guitarist and Singer) Masterpeice... it has so much
musical variety than previous Pink Floyd creations, which i can see from your reactions that you'lle really like. The song 'Blue' is (imo) Davids best guitar solo ever.
My favourite track on this album is 'On The Turning Away' - just saying!
This was the last Floyd album i ever bought (on vinyl at that) compared to all the others i had in my collection i found it slightly different i guess it was more synth and soundscape in it but found a few tracks i liked .and a good old one is "Pink Floyd - Echoes / Live at Pompeii" ..
Rowing a boat Silas.
At the beginning, ‘everyone reaches over and turns up the volume’. 😅
My mom actually wants the song Learning to Fly to be played at her funeral when she dies.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕”The word is Mystic😉”…
Emerson Lake and Palmer live Montreux jazz festival 1997 Tarkus or Pictures at an Exhibition ❤️✌🏼
A Rog-less Signs of Life going into Learning to Fly back in 88 was alright with me. We had Kaos lol
see pink Floyd do this live at Wembley arena uk
The sound at the beginning is rowing a boat, not walking through water on floorboards.
Pink Floyd isn't a band, they're an experience.
First part was a man rowing a boat i know was at this concert too
🤗 Back to Floyd! 🥰 Cool! 🤔 May I suggest adding some Rush to the Channel! 😉 Can't wait for you to be introduced to another Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Band. 3 dudes that'll blow your mind! ☺️🐰
Some groups for you to consider may be Tears for Fears: Woman in Chains featuring Oleta Adams, or Men At Work: Down Under, perhaps Alan Parsans: Turn of a Friendly Card, or an extremely rare song Bloodrock: D.O.A. In your spare time if have any lol.
Rowing through the water in a boat.
The Drummer Nick Mason put up his Ferrari as seed money was a good investment it yield nick 31 million to start the bank rolling 🤣 of A momentary lapse of Reason tour being month long practice dust off the Equipment in storage .great album my wife and I got to see them at the providence civic center capacity crowd of over 13 thousand Lol good times good days back in 1988
The song "Sorrow" is on this album...please allow me to say this studio version is absolutely nothing compared to the live Pulse Concert performance
You are of course 100% correct. The guitar solo is just mind blowing!
Fun fact: only 1 PF member has played in all albums. Who?
Nick Mason
Nick Mason
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 😅😅😅😅
And then there were three (which is also the album title of a Genesis album by the way)
First album without Roger Waters of the newly reformed Pink Floyd band.
Quite a good album although you’ll miss the biting lyrics by Waters.
You should see the official video of Learning to fly.
They're rowing in a canoe, through water, at the beginning.
It’s pure. Music. Not a political statement. For the most part
I'm stoked that you've been kidnapped by this amazing band. However...you need to to just play the Pulse concert straight through. All the hits from them. Visually a spectacular as you already did Comfortably Numb!
i think thats a wood row boat creaking, not floor boards
Seems incredible that a song like "Dogs of War" is regarded by a good part of the fans as one of the worst Pink Floyd songs. That piece certainly lacks the lyrical effectivness of Roger Waters (that left the band two years earlier) and, musically, tries to link to other PF classics (for example "Money" for the alternance of guitar and sax in the bridge). All true. Furthermore, one can point out the redundancy of an ant-war song that is published just four years after an entire anti-war album (The Final Cut). That said, I still regard this as a really fine and engaging piece of music.
Though I love this album (the first I bought with my own money), I must agree about "Dogs of War," lyrically at least--it's in the lowest tier I think. Nevertheless, "Terminal Frost" and "Yet Another Movie" are among my favorite PF tracks. DSotM is still tops to me, but I know there's wiggle room among charitable fans.
@@MDElam Lyrically questionable, I can agree with that. But that guitar-sax bridge is pure fire.
Easy sub. New here. Must run through your reactions, habe you done Genesis from 1970-1976? Have you done the PF album before this one The Final Cut which divides PF fans? Have you done the album Animals with PF? So many questions so few answers 😎🤠
To answer your three questions; No…No….Yes.
This album is a great album, way better than Division Bell, David's guitar 🎸 playing is stellar, well done album
Agree, this is my favorite of their last albums after the Wall from '79.
I love this album, but wish you had reacted to The Final Cut first, as I find this album to be somewhat of a reaction to that one.
Dude, please react to The Final Cut album. It's very underated but brilliant.
Dogs of War=Military Industrial Complex
Never been too keen on multiple listens of Dogs of War, yeah ominous AF. Makes its point. Not a bad lyric from Dave at all
Gruff Dave
It's meant to be like that lol, I feel the same lad
It's about warmongers in general Silas, It's dark, it's nasty
It does Silas, it contrasts. I'm liking it again, having not heard it in ages.
Prolly some Roger grievance in this song too. Rog is much alluded to on this allbum (see your pt4 😁)
This album is more a David Gilmour solo album than a Pink Floyd one, but it is great anyway.
How about "ethereal" for the word you were looking for.
Nah do PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN so you can experience Syd and how profound of an effect he had on them.
Very problematic album for a novice to listen to.
Nah ?!?!?Yeahhh!!!...everything about Pink Floyd is wonderful !
@@andreabindolini7452ma prima o poi ci dovrà passare.
A me è piaciuto dal primo ascolto specialmente " Interstellar overdrive "
@@65alef E' un grande album indubbiamente. Lo metto tra i capolavori del gruppo (io amo anche i lavori solisti di Barrett, specialmente "The Madcap Laughs"). Però non è certamente "user friendly" per chi ha in mente concetti di musica completamente diversi come può essere un teenager nel 2022. Gli altri dischi storici del gruppo sono più universali.
@@andreabindolini7452 sono d'accordo su quanto dici riguardo i gusti dei teenager attuali, ma questo ragazzo è parecchio sensibile e musicalmente preparato e credo che possa capire ed apprezzare i primissimi album dei Pink Floyd anche dell' epoca Barrett.
I have a suggestion for a reaction, but you'll probably have to do it on your patreon b/c Don Henley is a butt-nugget blocker The song is "Hotel California" by the Eagles. I'd rank it right up there with "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" as one of the greatest songs ever. Killer guitar duet at the end.
There is a reason why they call it ‘progressive’ music. I’m having a ton of fun following the Pink Floyd reactions. I have always leaned towards less mainstream prog, but this all is fully fabulous and does NOT disappoint.
First album without Roger Waters.
why have you skipped the final cut, this is totally a gilmour solo album, on its initial release it had no drumming by mason and very little work done by wright, gilmour realised this mistake and did a remix years later to include their work as he thought it did not have the pink floyd sound or feel
It is a great album, unlike The Final Cut which was just awful.
@@79BlackRose thats a matter of opinion, i like all albums, but at least 3 members played on the final cut from its initial release, and for gilmour to release music he turned pink floyd into a band of many many session musicians to release his great albums
@@kevinohara2618 Everything is a matter of opinion.
There is Pink Floyd with Roger Waters and Pink Floyd without Roger Waters . this is without .
I kind of wish you had taken on The Final Cut first, to put an end to the full Pink Floyd lineup. This album gets unfairly criticized because Gilmour brought in a lot of collaborators to get that “Pink Floyd Sound”. But Roger did the same on The Wall and The Final Cut. I still think age has been kind to this album, it holds up for me, even with the very 80’s production. And this album really put Pink Floyd back on the map. The tour was hugely successful. It was when they really started using lasers and taking the stage production with lights and effects that we now associate with them. I have no complaints about this album and it has several of my all time favorite Floyd songs. You should watch some of the live videos from this time.
Yeah, I really wish someone take whole The Final Cut album! You can make a reaction's videos history for doing it as the first one! :)
@@shnoo8016 good point. I don’t think anyone’s done it yet. Apart from maybe one song.
Give it A couple days. It’s like. A good infection.
Remember?
Animals.
Dogs.
Not my favourite, but I never really dug deep into this one, ast he 80s synths were too much of a turn off for me. Some great songs on here though. It was sign of the potential that would lead to the much more organic sounding The Division Bell. But let's see how this goes.
In all your Pink Floyd reactions you always say "That guitar....".🙄 That guitar is an instrument played by David Gilmour!🔥🐐 That guitar is not standing there playing itself.💯 Give the musician the respect his talent deserves, please.🙏 So no more, "that guitar....", instead try saying "David Gilmour on that guitar.....!😁❤️✌️
The older I get the more I think I’m more of a Roger Waters fan than a Pink Floyd fan . “The Wall” and “The Final Cut” are my favorite Pink Floyd albums. I also love Roger’s solo stuff. I think Floyd only made three really good songs after Roger left, “Learning to Fly”, “Wearing the Inside Out”, and “High Hopes”.
I’m not the biggest fan of this album. David Gilmour is an amazing guitarist and a great singer, but for Roger was the “heart” of Floyd.
It's a good album, but not that good as the previous albums
7/10
Yeah yeah yeah, come on Silas give Floyd a rest already! Try some Rush or something.
Love your Pink Floyd reactions although I will have to say momentary lapse of reason was a good title for this album because they never should’ve made it really a terrible album and not worthy of the name Pink Floyd. after Roger Waters left they didn’t have any ideas and had to hire 14 different lyricist to help them come up with something. anyway once David’s wife Polly came on board and helped with the lyrics their second album without Roger call the division Bell was much better. Still not quite a real Pink Floyd album by far better than a momentary lapse of reason
Still far better than that atrocity of the final cut
@@jimo7593 I can agree that the final cut was not one of the more memorable Pink Floyd albums but there’s a couple songs on there that were fantastic compared to zero songs on momentary lapse of reason in my opinion and in the opinion and of the most critics. David Gilmour’s guitar made the song ‘sorrow’ tolerable to at least listen to
@@bmille2121 Sorrow and On The Turning Away are fantastic and better than anything from The Final Cut.
@@79BlackRose You must’ve missed the title track from the Final Cut as well as two suns in the sunset but to each his own not going to argue much about music since it’s all a matter of opinion and taste. Carry on and enjoy the music
@@bmille2121 IMO Final Cut is garbage, practically unlistenable, much like Roger's latest solo release. I'd like to know what songs you happen to like and why. As far as Momentary, aside from it being very 80sish (I can't stand learning to fly), it has some very good songs, On the Turning Away has as good a message as Us & Them, One Slip and Terminal Frost are decent efforts. The Final Cut are reharshed Wall out takes and Roger whining about missing a father he never actually knew. The best thing about the Final Cut is the sound, the Holophonics are incredible and would loved to have all their previous concept albums done in such. But to listen to the album, I'll pass.
This album is "meh!" I like Signs of Life leading into Learning to Fly. It had a promising start, but the album falls apart after that. The Dogs of War is unlistenable for me, and One Slip is just 80s drivel. I hate both tracks. "Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?" Awful! I love the guitar solo for On the Turning Away and I think Yet Another Movie is underrated, but this album is directionless and lacks any substance. This isn't even the best Gilmour solo album. I'll listen to Rattle that Lock before I listen to this album. With that said, the 2019 remix is an improvement, but this is still one of the worst releases under the Floyd name. The Division Bell, with the return of Rick Wright, is a far superior Floyd album in comparison. I think the best Floyd albums have a good balance of Wright, Waters, Gilmour, and Mason as writers and players. WYWH was really the last time they had that balance. I love a lot of the stuff after, but as Wright's contributions became diminished, so did the quality of the band. Just my opinion.
Do you regard any album that isn't a concept album directionless Kevin?
@@79BlackRose No, I love Obscured by Clouds, Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, and Piper. I also love the Division Bell which could be considered only a loose concept album about communication, but very loose. It is far better than this album. I just think albums that keep my attention from start to finish have direction and purpose. This album just does not accomplish that. It has its high points, but the low points just make me hit the skip button. I have the same criticism with the Final Cut (Waters solo album) Saucerful of Secrets, More, and Ummagumma. A great album just flows like Who's Next or Led Zep 2 and 4, or Abbey Road. On top of all that, Mason hardly plays any drums on it and Rick is just barely a session player. It's a fine Gilmour solo album and at best, "a fair forgery" of a Floyd album.
@@kevinsaleeba2201 Thanks for your well balanced thoughts. :)
