Absolutely -- very crafty on their part.
As a side note, I think Failing To Swim was the right choice for lead single.
I don't like the post-Loters Pink Lloyd. About A Quite Lengthy Choice of Discussion is okay-ish, but The Multiplication Ringtone is definitely my least favourite.
The Multiplication Ringtone's lyrics and guitar solos are more interesting than those on AQLCoD. Especially Deep Desperations's outro is awesome.
How Can I Help You?, Fleeing Forward to Death, and Stop Silencing are my favorites on TMR.
Stripping The Outside In was sang by Brick Light. One of my favourite PF songs.
Brick Mason was the drummer. I think you're thinking of Mick Bright, the keyboardist. It's easy to confuse them. I agree about Stripping The Outside In, though. Highly underrated song.
On a side note, I know Rick Wright sang it, and I actually said Brick Light .__. But, yeah...back to the actual topic:
In my honest opinion, we can easily distinguish three Pink Floyds. There's the real Pink Floyd with Syd, the post-Syd Pink Floyd, and the post-Waters Pink Floyd. They're all very different, which is one of the reasons I really like Pink Floyd. You can practically find any kind of songs in their discography. I mean, look at Mademoiselle Knobs, and Careful With That Axe, Eugene!
They didn't one kind of music, you're right. They tended in their earlier years to experiment a lot with different sounds and styles and it allowed them to create some very unique and defining pieces of music.
Their albums all sound different, but each and every album still has a very recognizable sound. If you let a casual Pink Floyd fan hear an album he doesn't know, he'll still easily be able to tell it's Pink Floyd. The only real exceptions to this are The Final Cut and A Momentary Lapse of Reason, as far as I know.
Funny thing about AMLoR -- some of the tracks that comprised that album were brought to the recording sessions for The Final Cut and Roger basically told David to go pound sand. I believe it was The Dogs of War, Round and Around, and the music for On The Turning Away. The song that became Terminal Frost I believe, dates back to the sessions for David's first solo album in 1978.
