I bought this when it first came out, and it was very nicely packaged with posters and stickers designed by Hipgnosis and the minimalist prismatic cover.
On first listen I was disappointed as the only tracks that I thought were any good were Time and On The Run. After several plays the album grew on me, with only the contrived Money providing any cause for concern.
Unfortunately for me , but fortunately for the Floyd, the whole world decided to take it to their hearts and coffee tables. Then you couldnt move for it , and it was being played everywhere, until I got sick of it. I got rid of on vinyl and rediscovered it last year when I bought it Budapest.
Its still a wonderful album , a single piece with songs woven in to it, and Waters at his lyrical best, objective and not self pitying.
A must purchase album.

This is just a guess but i reckon you like a bit of pink floyd. You are right though, it is all a bit 'Coffee Table' music. Moby has just managed to do exactly the same thing.
Advantages: A musical watershed; Your CD player will biodegrade before these tracks become yesterday's noise... Disadvantages: Hazardous to listen to if you're prone to contemplating suicide...
