Roger Waters-Amused to Death

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.  

People love that barking dog but the real highlight of this record is Jeff Beck's guitar playing.

mijostyn....+1........how about that explosion.......I enjoy all of RW's recordings, as it is an insight to who Waters is. EC on Hitchhiking is as wonderful. Just like audio gear, people enjoy different things, musically.

+1 EC on HH. And the ripple of thunder.
