Free Music Review: BEST ALBUM OF THE 90'S.........
Hit: 5 Stars
While some of you call this "Waters best solo effort" I'll go one step further. I rate Amused to Death as the Best Album of the entire 90's. This period was not the high point in recorded music but still produced some great work, including some by Pink Floyd [The Division Bell and Pulse]. Good as these albums are they can't top the creative genius in this album. Themed? Yes........ Anti War? Of course [The Bravery of Being Out of Range being perhaps the best antiwar song ever recorded]. Musically great? Yes, with a combination of great writing, studio magic and Jeff Beck's incredible guitar work [What God Wants part 2 may possess some of the nastiest guitar licks ever laid down]. The title cut provides provocative insight into how we lived and, far into the future, what Alien Anthropologists see as evidence of our existence and demise "This species has amused itself to death".
Not a good work, a great work that should be part of every Floyd/Waters/Gilmour/classic rock/history-making music lovers collection.
5 HUGE STARS..........
Amused to Death Poster
Vinyl Classics reissue of this album comes as a vinyl look-a-like CD that's packaged in a die-cut see-through slipcase. Sony.Amused to Death is perfectly titled; it conveys its maker's mordant humor and underlying pessimism. Roger Waters's third solo album allowed a faint but perceptible return to the sound of his estranged former band, Pink Floyd. There are moments here ("What God Wants," "Three Wishes") that recall nothing so much as the densely textured sound of Animals and The Wall. And like those works, this is a concept album--the concept (as ever with Waters) being the crappy nature of modern life. Fair enough, but as usual, his satire is blunt and the targets of his scorn obvious. Former Eagle Don Henley duets on "Watching TV," while Jeff Beck contributes taut, lyrical solos to a number of tracks, notably "It's a Miracle." Waters's voice, however, remains the same: a weary whisper, positively dripping with contempt. --Andrew McGuire
