Actually, it's has to do more with the fact that I wouldn't want to WASTE
the 12 dollares to spend on it...

Well there was even an excerpt in Rolling Stone where Page was around.

I forgot, owning castles definitely means you're not an asshole. (That's
meant to be sarcastic Larry--I don't care how much he OWNS--that has nothing
to do with him being an asshole. Oh--I never brought in the Satanist part.)

It's not Floyd's worst album--the Final Cut is. I introduced it as being
Water's biography (quite relevantly ) because that is the reason for the
mood of the songs--i.e. depressing/somber.
