Jul 28, 2015Not only has Amused to Death aged well musically, it has unfortunately aged well thematically too.
-
Sep 11, 2015The overall mood is, ironically, not dissimilar to drifting in and out of consciousness while the TV murmurs in the background, occasionally jolting you awake with a ringing phone or a spray of gunfire.
-
Jul 28, 2015The meticulously crafted music is bold and robust, with same panoramic sweep as The Wall, Waters’ magnum opus he created while with Pink Floyd.
-
Aug 5, 2015Waters is on fiery form, and you get the sense that by 1992, he’d finally settled into his own corner of the world a little more.
-
Jul 28, 2015By any measure, this is an engaging, complex, lyrically confrontational and intellectually intense 80 minutes.
-
Jul 28, 2015While the new audio mix that accompanies this reissue (no bonus tracks included) might entice the audiophiles and give observers further reason to delve into its inner meanings, the sheer profundity of Waters’ weighty subject matter still leaves little room for immediate attachment. A noble experiment from an edgy, outspoken prophet and pontificator, Amused to Death isn’t exactly the stuff of easily consumable entertainment.
