Roger Waters is angry. The former bass player / singer of has actually been since he was with that band. On his magnum opus, the Pink Floyd album which he revisited endlessly during his solo career, that anger and frustrations are still mainly of a personal nature. Is This The Life We Really Want? is an angry indictment of the unjust world of today. Waters expresses himself unadorned, with a lot
… of obscene language, in a dozen fairly simple, acoustically oriented songs. The from well-known producer Nigel Godrich dressed these songs with strings, keys, electronics and illustrative voice collages. Godrich is a fan of The Wall, there is no doubt about that. The recipe of crude spit-out anger versus classic bombast and drawn-out prog is now coming to life again and will please fans of the late Pink Floyd. (MR)more
