The only exception is The Wall, but even that gap has gotten closer recently. I find it amazing and somewhat sad how relevant the album continues to be today, and probably will be for a very long time. To me, it is the ultimate summation of Waters' songwriting dating as far back as The Dark Side of The Moon. I'm not surprised he hasn't recorded an album since, as he realizes there is simply no way to top this. If he tries, it will lose some of it's impact after Waters becomes just another rock star of the past desperately trying to remain relevant into old age. The album is simply the ultimate way to complete a career spanning decades. This is Waters' third effort to create a solo album on par with his work with Pink Floyd without David Gilmour, and for the first time, he succeeds and then some. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that had David Gilmour appeared on this album, he would only have interfered. Jeff Beck is a much better guitarist anyway, and his solo on "What God Wants, Pt. 3" nearly blows away even the "Comfortably Numb" solo. As for the lyrics, all I'm going to say is that Waters finally got it perfect. He'd been trying for decades to make his "great statement" that this album is. His first attempt, "Dark Side of the Moon," was a musical masterpiece, but was too broad and commercial lyrically. After a sidestep with "Wish You Were Here," his next attempt, "Animals," was great as well, but was too bitter and borrowed too much from stuff like "Animal Farm." The closest he got with Pink Floyd was easily "The Wall," but that was simply too personal, selfish and egotistical, there's no getting around it. "The Final Cut" suffered from the same problems, and was too focused on the single issue of war. His first solo album, "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking" was another sidestep lyrically, although it was brilliant, and "Radio KAOS" was just an all-around mess. Finally, however, on "Amused to Death," Waters took the various recurring lyrical themes he'd been dealing with for years and brought them together to create his ultimate thesis statement on the nature of the human race. "Amused to Death" is essentially "The Wall, Pt. 2" except Waters applied the themes explored on "The Wall" to the entire human race, so that everyone could relate to them, not just himself. Pink is now just "The Monkey," a metaphor for humanity, and we get to observe what's going on through his mind as he sits around watching TV. The lyrical themes of the album touch on entertainment, war, religion, the media, the economy, and society in general. Waters makes a damning case for his point-of-view throughout the album. Every single track simply destroys its target. Sonically, the album kills as well. I have never heard a standard, domestic CD issue that sounds this good. Whoever was in charge of mastering this album is a genius, and Waters himself clearly cares about sound quality. All of his Pink Floyd and solo albums are among the best-sounding CDs I have in my collection. In short, I could not recommend this album more highly. Sorry for the long ranting review, I'm just enthusiastic about this criminally overlooked album and want all of you to be able to appreciate it as much as I do."  [+]  Reply

It is a little more country than most Neil Young albums and so if you enjoy that side you will definitely love this album. The vocals are great as always and there is a little extra on this one with the help of a backing vocalist which really provides something new and fresh and gives us a softer side to the album. Every song matches in tone and so the record has a really nice flow to it and this creates a great atmosphere. The only song that deviates from this is Motorcycle Mama but it isn't too different to distract you too much. Definitely worth a listen and is a good album but not his greatest."  [+]  Reply

This is a band still figuring out their identity with the wrong producer that wants their sound heavier than it should be. This album hits and misses as they search for what they want their band to be but promise is all over this considering what is to come. Frusciante shreds here more than other albums, a nice change of pace. But it doesn't hold a candle to their four best records"  [+]  Reply

Side 1 (the first 5 songs) is Spoon at their best, 5 incredible tracks, well-produced and catchy as ever. Side 2 (the 5 last songs) covers new grounds for Spoon and is more experimental. First, there's "Can I Sit Next To You" that could have been a Maroon 5 song, but Spoon manages to make it great with their clever producing. Then, there's "I Ain't The One" that sounds like a post-grunge song, but the use of the electric piano instead of the guitar is pure genius and make this song really enjoyable. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. "Shotgun" sounds a little bit like "I Was Made For Loving You" by Kiss, but once again, Spoon can make any song sound great and they do it here. The last one, "Us", is a great example of how Spoon are in experimental mode here. All in all, I still like Side 1 better, with the straight-up Spoon doin' it like as well as ever, but I really appreciate Side 2 too and the effort by the band to go elsewhere. A really solid album by a band that makes nothing but great albums. "  [+]  Reply

It's a more orchestral affair than Waits had previously released, with even nods back to his seventies recordings. The title track is just that, a smoky, jazzy, three o'clock in the morning number, it's lovely. Other standouts on the album are, reeperbahn, fish & bird, and my favourite, lost in the harbour, absolutely beautiful. Kommienezuspadt, is gloriously insane, and, I'm still here, and, barcarolle, are excellent too. There is a bit of filler, I suppose, but hey, Tom Waits filler is better than most people's highlights. Another very good LP from Waits. "  [+]  Reply

"Your queen is a reptile" is a concept album denouncing the imperialism and injustice of the British monarchy. They celebrate here other queens, each track paying homage to a woman, who have all led resistance movements. The music of Son of Kemet, has its source in the heart of Africa from the rhythms of Nigeria to the intersections of Addis Ababa. From project to project, Shabaka Hutchings demonstrates that he has become an essential musician of our time, and "Your queen is a reptile" of Sons Of Kemet is by far his most successful album, his masterpiece. 9/10 Best track: "My Queen Is Ada Eastman""  [+]  Reply
