Roger Waters-Amused to Death

Bartender
what is wrong with me
why am I so out of breath?

the bartender says
”excuse me ma’am
but the species has
amused itself to death”.

It may be a technically great recording but I have had problems warming up to it regarding several things. The choice of female vocal always struck me the wrong way. It, in it's totality, doesn't come near some of RW other lps. I own the AP lp

Haven't heard it Noromance.....
Thanks for the 'heads-up'...

Thank the Lord I am not on my own on my distaste for this piece of work.

Had held off commenting as I always get flak about it.

For me it is just not musical and comes across as a disjointed effort with some great special effects.

I will take Hitchhiking or Radio K.A.O.S anyday.

I'm with you on this.  It's not great MUSIC.  I get the holographic soundstage and recording bells and whistles, which are pretty cool, but the songs seem disjointed and never quite get going.
