Rogers new song. Discuss.

I'm suprised by how good is voice sounds after all those years of screaming. I was pleasantly surpised that he can still scream, actually (I love a good roger scream). He sounds a lot better than he did on Amused to Death (which he always seemed to be out of breath to me). And that was some 15 years ago.

I love Amused to Death. Fantastic album.

This song doesn't do alot for me, however.

EDIT:

I changed my mind. The ending of the song makes it. Bad ass.

I never said i didn't like amused to death. It's a fantastic album. Though my favorite solo album is Pros and Cons, but lets hope that his two new albums will top all of these.

Edit: Yeah, i had to listen to it a couple of times, but now i really like. He wrote it for that movie, so I really don't understand the lyrics yet. They seem pretty weak out of context, but if I see the movie, they will probably fit in better.

I dunno, count me in as one of the guys who doesn't like his lyrics starting from the Wall through latest solo stuff. This song sounds good, but the lyrics are so tacky that it makes me want to turn it off.

Nope. Don't like it. In the last couple years I've really tried to like Waters' solo work. I've listened repeatedly to "Pros and Cons", "Radio KAOS", and "Amused To Death" and the only melodies I remember, I do so because they are so bad, not good. And the whiny supremely self-righteous lyrics make want to scream "GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY". Shame, my favorite Floyd record is "The Final Cut" which is almost all Roger.

Yeah, Radio KAOS went straight back to the used CD bin soon after I bought it. Amused to Death was good enough to keep, but I haven't listened to it in years, and haven't had the urge.

The new album might be worth a listen if he let's Snowy White have a more active role, though.
