Product Description

From Amazon.com
With Eric Clapton's valuable assistance, Waters takes the concept album to new heights on this 1984 masterpiece, his first LP after leaving Pink Floyd.. Each of the 12 songs represents a scene of a surreal dream (nightmare?) and Waters brilliantly captures the pendulum of emotions. Periods of serenity and clarity accompany frenzied and distorted passages of chaos and moments of great irony and humor. Along the journey, Waters confronts murderous Arabs in Germany, a steamy sexual liaison, mundane family life, bikers, truckers, housewives, and strangers. He sucks you into his vision by blurring the lines between what's real and what's part of the dream. Meanwhile, his use of recurring themes gives the work cohesion. As the mood shifts, Clapton's guitar perfectly accents Waters' story, whether with fiery electric explosions or delicate acoustic touches. -- Marc Greilsamer

5.0 out of 5 stars pros and cons, 12 Jul 2005
By Richard (birmingham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
All pros and no cons. The story is well told, the music is varied and Clapton is a great bonus. A must for a fan of the later Floyd albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roger Walters second solo Lp, 25 Aug 2007
Offically the first solo Lp by Pink Floyds Roger Walters, but unofically most fans recognise that its really his second, as the Final Cut was more or less his first as the other 3 members had little or no imput.
A great listen on headphones or pumped up loud on the stereo. also check out 1987's Radio K.A.O.S and 1992's Amused to Death.
