I like this album as it is an extension of theier previous works from the mid 90's with simalar sounding music. I read the info on this project the David Gilmour took in published recordings and outtakes from their final albums as a group and added the parts necessary to finish the songs.

No one ever expected another studio album from Pink Floyd after The Division Bell but the sessions for that album had a treasure trove of unfinished instrumental tracks that feature the late Rick Wright prominently. It still sounds like latter-day Floyd. It's What We Do has echoes (no pun intended) of Shine On You Crazy Diamond starting off and Marooned later on. Autumn '68 (not to be confused with Summer '68 from Atom Heart Mother) has Wright on organ and is the oldest track on the album. Anisina has mere touches of The Final Cut and Comfortably Numb. For the only vocal track Louder Than Words, longtime backing vocalist Durga McBroom Hudson had photos of the vocal session on Facebook and/or Twitter but hadn't said at first whether it was for this or David Gilmours next solo album Rattle That Lock. His wife Polly Samson wrote new lyrics for the song. It is the obvious lead single. After that Gilmour and Mason made it clear that Floyd were finished once and for all. This is the first studio release since The Final Cut not to have a tour or cover by the late Storm Thorgerson who whom the album is dedicated to. It is the third without Roger Waters though (Cut was his farewell to the band as we all know). I bought the album here so I could have the import and I got one from México for a change. Now I need the LP. Didn't get bonus tracks but you can't win them all.Read full review

Was skeptical at first, took me this long to get it, but I really like it. The more you listen to it the better it gets... as with all the earlier mostly instrumental Floyd albums. I was afraid they just through it together because of Richard Wrights death, but they are perfectionist's and its great. You can tell its from the division bell time period, I think its just as good. Get it you won't be sorry, especially if you like their old stuff.

This is the last Pink Floyd album and it serves as a tribute. It has "Sum" as a high point and swirls of "Wjsh you were here" and "the Division Bell" still weaving through it. It is eminently listenable and worthy of having in your collection. This album (cd) is like saying Good Bye to old friends.

Posthumous studio recordings made from unfinished and unused outtakes often sound uneven like the afterthoughts they usually are. The Endless River is a notable exception to this rule. Built around just such a collection of leftovers from the late keyboardist Richard Wright, guitarist David Gilmour finished them out into a fitting encore for Pink Floyd and tribute to Wright. Rather than create a lyrical concept to tie the tracks together, Gilmour instead made this closing entry in the Pink Floyd saga an instrumental album, except for two tracks—"Talkin' Hawkin'" which features the words of the late physicist Stephen Hawking and the closing track, "Louder Than Words", which as the sole entry with sung lyrics presents an apt summation to a half century of Pink Floyd.
