Roger Waters Amused To Death


I realize I might be in the minority on this one, but after recently purchasing this Analogue Productions pressing and listening to it a few times, I can honestly say I am not impressed.  
First of all, the content is less than compelling.  I enjoyed Roger Waters' work with Pink Floyd and even some of his other solo works, but this record feels like pretentious drivel.  
Second, and more importantly, the sound quality is so artificial sounding that it's annoying.  The overly holographic sound stage is hard to listen to.  To me, this kind of production is too glossy and lacks musicality and warmth.  It sounds more like a movie played in surround than it does a two channel stereo recording.  
I found the title a bit ironic, in that the style of recording and all the sound effects he used are nothing more than amusement, adding little if anything to the message.  
I just put my copy back on the shelf and I do not expect to ever play it again.
