I thought this sounded like a tortured explanation for what is clearly artists burning off their creative energies at a young age, but then I followed your link and it looks like the book is a tounge-in-cheek premise the author thought would be interesting to write up as though he was serious (exactly like every paper…

That was the first Floyd album I bought, which I did when I was a kid, when it came out, so it's hard for me to hear how it's not good, because I loved it immensely. The Untouchables was my first Morricone, but now I hear it mostly as a pastiche of earlier, stronger stuff, which is what I would expect of Final Cut—but…

Dammit, this is actually not terrible. Not what I was hoping for. She still skates the edge of "out of tune" a little too hard (not entirely unlike Gainsbourg pushing Birkin outside of what she could sing for a fragile effect), but the music is rather swell indeed.
