For better or worse, it's David Gilmour, what do you expect, it's like waiting for Mark Knopfler to do something different.
Not a bad track and some Ezrin'esque habits stick - like adding a kiddie choir (Alice Cooper, Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd ...).
Seeing Gilmour explore the limits of the pentatonic blues scale on a Les Paul sure looks weird, but the man can play what he wants.
His many fans will no doubt be pleased and I wasn't prompted to cut the song short either. There are a few bum notes in the solo, he left those, I like that.
