Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters?


Tell me if there is a better recorded rock album than this.....if so, I want ot hear it. To me, simply remarkable! Yeah, it has weird lyrics..but what a recording and performance. "What God Wants Pt. 3" --amazing! How about something other than the typical "Audiophile-weiney" stuff. Whaddya think? This is better than "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall" (recording wise -- and those are damned good -- IMFHO). Opinons..suggestions?

Amused to Death is nowhere the album that Wish You Were Here is. This is more of Water's ramblings about his disatisfaction with his life and the world in general. Even Radio KAOS was more satisfying to my ears.

"What God wants, God gets"...yeah, well that may be true to some extent, Idon't know and you don't know, no one does and pure belief doesn't make it true, but some of us don't live our lives expecting waiting around for something to just happen because of where and when God wants it to. Personally, these lyrics plain suck and epitomize exactly what's wrong with much of the modern world. Waters was exactly what was wrong with Floyd after Animals, the last decent Floyd album. And no, except for Gilmour's numbers on The Wall, I can't stand that recording, so much Water's wanking. There I feel better.
Well...OK, I am going to listen to ATD again this evening and see if I can't finally "get it."
Big Gilmour fan, have all his solo efforts, have to find Wright's and Mason's work.
Sadly, it's too late now. Does anyone know if there is a DVD recording of the event they all played at in 2005 (Hyde Park?) I would love to see that if even for the short set.
