Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters?

Tell me if there is a better recorded rock album than this.....if so, I want ot hear it. To me, simply remarkable! Yeah, it has weird lyrics..but what a recording and performance. "What God Wants Pt. 3" --amazing! How about something other than the typical "Audiophile-weiney" stuff. Whaddya think? This is better than "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall" (recording wise -- and those are damned good -- IMFHO). Opinons..suggestions?

If you are into the heavier stuff, Megadeth's 'Countdown to Extinction' was just given the MOFI treatment and sounds pretty good. And the three most recent Tool ablums are all exceptionally recorded (10,000 Days, Lateralus, Aenema). Lastly, early 80's Rush albums were well produced by Terry Brown (Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves are best, with the later having a recent MOFI treatment).

I will agree that Amused To Death is an excellently recorded album. The vinyl release is quite simply THE best sounding vinyl I've ever heard. Seems many people agree, since even used original issues (not the later questionable 180gram release) fetch hundreds of dollars on ebay. Bought mine new when it was first released and I also have a sealed copy I keep for investment sake.

Well...OK, I am going to listen to ATD again this evening and see if I can't finally "get it."

Listen to the music and forget the lyrics Steve. Gawd, I believe the other members of PF have done quite well on their own. R Waters may have written some great PF music but D Gilmour wrote some of the best ones also as well as Rick Wright and Nick Mason.
