bluefox4000 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The last time I saw Waters perform was also in Oracle. Years ago when I was happily married. Snowy White was on guitar. It made my night. Signed, THIN LIZZY Snowy White is da man. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I got this album a week before rest of the world, because Im so freaking awesome! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Seems like I'm going to love seeing this show just as I expected. Finally picked up the CD, but haven't haven't found the time to dig in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Wow. This is really awesome! I honestly didn't think he had this in him. CANNOT wait to hear this live (although) it will just be a few songs.) Very biting. There does seems to be a bit of a lull in the middle but it's really not that bad. The four times I listened so far, the middle has been getting better. Very biting album. Very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I've got a couple spins of this in; certainly very bleak picture. Obvious Floyd references. Excellent production by Nigel Godrich (can hear a Radiohead flavor within). No guest guitarists as in the past. Songs are pretty well focused So far, cannot hold a candle to Amused to Death (one of my favorite albums), but I will give it time. Albums like this tend to grow on me - but also depend on my mood and ability to access that. This is a tough one at the present time. It took me a a few listens to REALLY appreciate Amused To Death. I liked it well enough when I first heard it but it kept paying off even more after repeated listens. I'm still bummed he didn't play the whole thing live but I guess he knows what many American concert-goers are looking for. I figured Life would be a more desperate version of Amused To Death, but we'll see. ATD Live would have been a horrible move money wise. what he did play live from it was amazing however. Mick Economic suicide but I would love to have seen more emphasis on those last two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) I havent heard it and who knows when i will get around to it. As many said i find his solo work a bit off. Its pretty obvious he needed david and the band to keep him from drifting too far lol Also why does waters hate trump do much? He is english, no? I hate when musicians, constantly bring up politics. Their views mean nothing to me Edited June 17, 2017 by djflex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I have tickets for Roger in Sept and have the new album. From what I've seen on youtube, his show looks fantastic. I've been sidetracked with listening to Elder and King Buffalo lately so I need to stop and focus on Roger soon. I'm hoping that Roger won't need to reference trump much longer :eyeroll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Honestly, after repeated listens of this at work and home, I have to say I appreciate this album more as background noise than a listening experience to enjoy. Unless you're a diehard Roger fan, you're really not going to like it. For what it's worth, this is my personal ranking list for Roger: Amused to DeathPros and Cons of HitchhikingRadio KAOSIs This The Life We Really Want?Ca Ira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 "The Most Beautiful Girl" is a great Bowie track. So is "The Last Refugee". "Bird in a Gale" is a lost Animals track. "Smell the Roses" goes back to Meddle. A lost section of "Echoes". It can't touch Mr. Gilmour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Impressive & immersive. Long may he rage. Gets better with each listen. Maybe not quite as consistent as Amused To Death, but there's some amazing stuff on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
