The first Pink Floyd album released after the departure of Roger Waters, 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' is a David Gilmour-led project that embraces the sound of the 1980s. The record moves away from the narrative-heavy concept albums of the past, focusing instead on polished, atmospheric art rock with a strong AOR sensibility. While controversial among some fans, the album was a commercial success, defined by Gilmour's soaring guitar solos and a grand, stadium-ready production.
