May 1, 2018May Roger Waters always be angry. Without him, too many of us would feel we're lone voices, crying out in the dark.

Oct 16, 2017Repetitivo por momentos y con un mensaje sectario e inconexo, que por momentos resulta ridículo. Varios temas en los que prioriza una letra torpe y excesiva sobre una música que no termina de funcionar. Otro dato a tener en cuenta es que apenas le queda voz, y esto lastra todo el álbum. A destacar quizá The Last Refugee y poco más.

Aug 31, 2017The year old British rockers tried to be hip and cater to the millennials with moronic political albums. Really sad that such a great writer as Waters went literally down in flames like this.

Aug 15, 2017Roger Waters steps into the world again and delivers passionate messages while bringing with him a hint of magic from his once incredibly captivating sound, and even though complacency came off a bit too much in the melodic layer, his compelling harmonic language and influential voice can make up for a few musical shortcomings in the long run. My Score: 130/180 (Solid) = 7.2/10

Jun 7, 2017A fantastic album produced by Waters and his crew, musically stunning and lyrically gripping. This album contains some of Roger Waters’ finest songwriting and crafting, and I have no complaints nor see any downsides with this album. I would recommend this to a friend, or even a foe!

Jun 7, 2017For those still with us (and for those not, we wish you were here) and still listening, this is a fully ripened expression of the visions and ideas Roger has been working on for the past 50+ years. Though I loved Clapton and Beck, the lead guitar is toned down to give more expression to what's really important.

Jun 5, 2017Tiene sus momentos, aunque suena peligrosamente como a algo que obviamente ya hemos escuchado y que se alarga un poco más de lo que debería. Pese a todo, y en los tiempos que corren... ¡hey! para un músico con la trayectoria y de la talla de Waters es un triunfo presentarse con un disco así de elegante.

Jun 4, 2017As a Pink Floyd fan it pains me to say it but this is Waters at his most self indulgent and sanctimonious.
Those that say it's on a par with Floyd's best just leave me confused. -

Jun 2, 2017This Album Is a Masterpiece. Roger is Still Angry and When He's Angry He Can Write Good Songs and Good Lyrics.in My Opinion The World Needed To This Album Because There Are Numerous Problems In The Whole of World.

Aug 15, 2017While the solo work of Gilmour and Waters improves with each release and suggests that each is getting more comfortable working on his own and figuring out how to work without the other, their solo albums are also a painful and tantalizing reminder of just how good the music they made together once was.
-
Jun 23, 2017Is This The Life We Really Want? is a stunning accomplishment, as rich as anything Waters has ever managed.
-
Jun 6, 2017Certainly, Is This the Life We Really Want? lacks the straightforward narrative or melodic thrust of The Wall, but it isn't as somnolent as The Final Cut, and if the songs don't call attention to themselves, they nevertheless form a long suite that works as a sustained mood piece.
