In my opinion MLOR is a great album. It doesn't rank up there with Animals, WYWH, DSOTM, ASFOS, etc. for me, but it's still awesome.

I remember waiting desparately for this album's release, and being totally mesmerised by it. It's a classic. But it's way down my list of Floyd favourites.

It's good in its own right, but not heavy or prog enough to make me fall in love.

I love A Momentary Lapse of Reason!! I think it's a great album. Is it better than Wish You Were Here or Animals? F*CK NO!!!! But it's still a solid album with a bunch of good songs. The songs sound even better when played live. A song like Yet Another Movie on album is good, but live it sounds soo much better. A sweet echo to it! :)

I was really looking forward to this one when it came out and I was also relived that we for once had moved away from Waters laments for his dead father and wars in general, and back to a time when Moons had dark sides and the diamond was crazy. Just for a change. OK, in terms of quality not quite up there with the 70s output, but that was the aim.
I really enjoy it, start with the cover- classic Floyd. My fav Floyd cover.
Side 1: Sign of life, a beautiful tender plinging guitar and sound effects soooo Floydian, Learning to Fly a good mid tempo floyd song, Dogs Of War a heavy blues not bad but probably one verse too long, One Slip my personal highligt, On the turning Away, a good tune with an almost Comfy Numb solo at the end.
Side 2: overall less melodic, with refences back to the 70s WYWH (New machine but doesnt really say that much), Terminal Frost and Sorrow are short on ideas, I can live with TF being a mood piece in old Floyd style, fine, but where's the tune on Sorrow?
Overall a good album, on par or perhaps slightly better than Pros and Cons and About Face.
7 out of 10

i know what you mean. i sorta feel the same way although I also can respect the fact that it is indeed miles ahead of all the other albums. I think the thing with dsotm is that it's the album that they basically broke into superstardom with and just like any other band, lots of the longtime fans (not all and no offense) tend to stray from those albums and focus on the ones that helped them develop that sound in the first place.
as for momentary lapse, i've always liked it. i've also treated it in a similar way to darkside though, recognizing that it's very different from a lot of floyd material but in it's own way, still brilliant music.

I like this album a lot. It's a good enough start to a new era.
Signs of Life- Already hear some great Guitar from Gilmour and a good start to the album.
Learning To Fly- My 2nd favorite song on the album. It's one of the songs that got me hooked on Floyd.
Dogs of War- A little hard compared to the rest of the album which makes it seem a bit out of place, but a good solo in the middle with the guitar and saxophone.
One Slip- I never really liked this song. The beginning is kind of mystical sounding, but the rest is just... kind of blah imo.
On The Turning Away- Best Floyd song since Comfortably Numb imo. The guitar at the end is great and the whole style of the song is just like CN. It's even better live.
Yet Another Movie- The beginning is kind of weird, but the rest is great, especially live.
Round And Around- I don't understand the point of this song. Is there even a point?
A New Machine- Nothing musical at all. Kind of a lookback to WYWH, but not much else.
Terminal Frost- One of my favorite Floyd instrumentals. I love the sound of the song and the solos are great.
Sorrow- Good guitar at the beginning. The rest is better live, but it sounds awesome and it has a good beat to it.
As for the whole album, I look at it as a better album musically rather than the usual story of most Floyd albums, which is why I like it.

I take it you were not around yet when the album was first released .
Man , it's a timeless classic that hit people on the head like a brick in regards to what type music it should have been classified as at the time . I think more sets of headphones were sold in the three years following the release than the 20 years before . " I made that up " :D
Sure " Yes " was around then with their progressive style but the album had a tone to it like no other .
There was progressive music , pshycodelic music along with other, then there was ....................... Pink Floyd 
DSOTM is the opitomy example of what Pink Floyd is , but it's all good and we all have our favorites .
Peace :music:
