@Redlester Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed. Just whelmed.

I actually think Amused To Death is a very good album, almost up there with much of Waters' Floyd stuff, and there are a few good moments in the post-Waters Floyd too (especially Pulse, which is better than the studio albums) but... overall you're definitely right.

I love Amused to Death too, it's a fantastic album. But again it's Roger's words alongside the work of a genius guitarist - in this case Jeff Beck.

Maybe Roger will release a new version of ATD where he just mumbles the words without Beck's sublime guitar work.

I just Googled Waters and the very first thing I saw was this.  He's not a fan of rock guitar players...

I knew it'd be shit when I heard what his plans were, but wow.

On the one hand you have to acknowledge the man's self-confidence and self-belief. On the other hand you have to acknowledge that both are dwarfed by self-delusion.

Great legacy though, he'll probably go down as the biggest twat in music history.

It wasn't actually quite as bad as I'd anticipated from reading the thread and the bashing it's getting on his Facebook ad!

Wrong tense, he is the biggest twat.

No, he was just doing his best impression of Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle.

The editing of the OP means that the YT link in the first message in this thread is dead.

But the rest of the comments are so damning that I probably don't need to go and search it out for myself.

Ta - I had fixed the typo-ed apostrophe in the title but not spotted. Now fixed. You ain't missing much though

It's bloody brilliant. Wipes the floor with the original.

I really like it, very menacing compared to the original and I never liked the solo's in Money so don't really miss them. Looking forward to listening to the whole album. I'm still gonna love the original but this is a welcome bonus
