Brilliant writing, vivid and evocative episode. I can't help but note the striking resemblance of the main character to the God of the Old Testament, the Torah, and the Koran. A capriciously malevolent bully with the moral compass of a spoiled child. But one with super powers. Just like God! "I'm gonna send you into the corn field." "I'm gonna drown (nearly) everyone in a flood!"

For all intents and purposes a Roger Waters solo album, although Gilmour contributes some of the best leads he's ever done. Musically, lyrically, and (especially) conceptually among the top four Pink Floyd albums. A cohesive, powerful, and moving work of genius.
