オリジナル・アルバムとしては約5年ぶりの新作。湾岸戦争や天安門事件をモチーフにしたヘヴィーなコンセプト・アルバムだが,ジェフ・ベックらをフィーチャーしたサウンドはとてもダイナミック。適材適所のゲスト起用をはじめ,巧みな構成が光る意欲作。
From Amazon.com
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.
