Free Music Review: Roger Waters - Back To The Regan Era 80's
Hit: 4 Stars
This was Waters second solo album after leaving Pink Floyd. His first "The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking" was a big disappointment to me and I did not really care for it. "KAOS" would fare a bit better, but still suffers from Rogers rather maudlin writing style and the lack of his former cohort David Gilmour as a musical partner. "KAOS" is a concept album about a wheelchair bound boy who can receive radio waves through his head. The story unfolds through his correspondence with a DJ at KAOS radio station in Los Angeles. Jim Ladd (a DJ in real life) did the voice of the jock on the record. In the end the boy in the chair decides he is going to blow up the world, but then changes his mind. This album is not all that far from the theme of Waters last Pink Floyd album "The Final Cut" in which the globe is neutralized by nuclear war during the "Two Sunsets" finale. I thought Waters got better with each solo album he did which puts this one squarely in the middle. Going back to it after all these years there is a lot of 80's musical clich?'s to be found which tends to date the material, but this is still a pretty good album from mister Waters.
Radio K.A.O.S. Poster
Things were never the same for rock auteur Roger Waters after he split from Pink Floyd in the early '80s. While Floyd has soldiered on as a dumber, but still popular version of its old self, Waters has seen his own creative vision left mostly unrealized. Like his other solo projects, Radio K.A.O.S. too often falls flat without the hypnotic musical passages he enjoyed with Floyd. Not helping are the album's thin electronic sounds that haven't aged well since its 1987 release. Radio K.A.O.S. tells the quasi-sci-fi tale of a boy "vegetable" who can recieve radio waves in his head. Along the way, Waters attacks Reagan, Thatcher, nuclear war, commercial radio, and all the usual suspects. --Steve ApplefordPop Music CDs
