I gave this album a 4 overall, but that still comes with its criticism. Although on paper it sounds close to the ideas on Radio KAOS, the music is more music combo as opposed to programming.įor all it's flaws it has better positives. More grounded than Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking. Clearly the greatest Roger Waters solo album. Although I think some of the swearing is used more to fill the metre rather than necessity the album is claiming to contain. It's a shame Roger's voice wasn't given the filter processes as the instrumentation behind him. Roger singing softly, as if lying in bed with you if you listen to it on headphones in the dark! A more wordy Eclipse but paced slower than Pigs On The Wing 4. Part Of Me Died- Fusion of the last two tracks on this album. Oceans Apart- Seamless blend but feels like it could of gone further. The Final Cut but used for Love and guidance, instead of misery and suicidal. Wait For Her- First interpretation of poetry on a Floyd solo album since Barrett's "Golden Hair". Maybe it's too late in the tracklist? It's got more of a stomp than the title track of Gilmour's RTL. The biggest Rock of the album and would be a highlight for decades for any other band. Sounds like it got it's fingers dirty writing it. Smell The Roses- Shine On You Crazy Diamond later parts smashed into Watching T.V., but without the passiveness of watching. The Most Beautiful Girl- Washed over at first, but now see it as a great bit of foreshadowing for the end of the album. Speak To Me thrown through Don't Leave Me Now if Mason had a rocket up his arse when he used to drum for Roger! 5 5.īird In A Gale- The most experimental the album gets and it works. Love how he goes all cockney near the end. Is This The Life We Really Want?- The third best song on the album. That said, the song taking me the longest to win me over! 2

Great lyrics apart from "No fucking brains!" 4īroken Bones- Do you think Roger got pissed off with movies and TV shows using half of the wolf sound in their shows? I love how he steps away from his late 60's psychedelia to the present. Picture That- Like The Wall covering Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, but the other Beatles were too terrified on a bad trip to play their instruments. Even tops Fletcher Memorial Home for bringing unnamed people from today with their i-Phones.

The Last Refugee- This is the best thing Roger has done solo.

2.ĭéjà Vu- Although it's the biggest Floyd sound smash and grab, the update from the drone backs Roger singing as an early highlight. When We Were Young- Although as experimental as anything from Music For The Body, this is a weak start compared to the Roger Waters songs that opened PF albums.
