Roger Waters

Who would've thought after 25 year gap between records and at the young age of 73 Roger Waters could deliver an album of this quality? Nigel Godrich proved to be a great producer and collaborator mixing Floydian touches with modern sounds and strings to Rogers biting lyrics. A condemning statement of modern society, asks the questions but allows the listener to form the answer.

4 of 5 stars.

what do you think of this?

his last release i never "got"
So far I am liking it. I have not heard his earlier stuff but will be seeking it out.

This reminds me of a time when politics and social commentary were much more important in music.

My thoughts on his last release, the 2015 critically acclaimed album, I Love You, Honeybear.

Like I said, I just never "got" it.:(

Clearly most did.
