The picture on the front of the CD gives you a clue. It's a picture of a monkey/gorilla watching TV. Well, of course it is. In interviews around the time of the release of this album, Roger spoke of a book he'd read titled 'Amusing Ourselves To Death', a book which lent this album its title and also placed an image in Rogers mind. Roger, happy go-lucky chap that he is, always with a kind word and a smile for everybody.... (??!) found himself imagining the human race, literally, amusing themselves to death. Via the television set. Lots of human skeletons sat in front of their television sets. Factor in some usual Waters preoccupations, eg, war, politics, etc, etc - that's your 'Amused To Death' album. Sounds cheery doesn't it?? Well, no, it doesn't - and reviewers at the time responded in a predictable fasion - Roger Waters, "the gloomiest man in rock".


Oh, things get terribly complicated, Roger spent too much time thinking about politics and war, the first gulf war, more politics - ties it all in, masterfully actually - with his concept for the album, television, and it's impact and negative influence. 'What God Wants', both parts of the song - are stupendous. Ah, the first part, coming off the opening track?? The funkiest Roger Waters moment for an eon.

It even slipped quietly into the UK top 40 singles charts. Ah, lots of things. Female vocals and more atmospherics for 'Perfect Sense', a soft, beautiful song. "It all makes perfect sense, expressed in dollars and cents" sings Roger. 'Late Home Tonight' is the one for me, though. Sat right in the middle of the album - and if you consider both parts of the song as a single whole, especially masterful. It's a story - a wonderful story with humour, pathos, seriousness, a message. And it winds back, it has a proper beginning middle and end.

Roger has done little since this album, he said at one point he was going to become a classical composer. Which strikes me as being bizarre. Whatever, 'Amused To Death' is masterful. Better than Dave Gilmour led Pink Floyd? It sold a whole ton less.... Well, the question doesn't even need to be asked. Pink Floyd lost Syd, then they lost Roger. Roger kept Pink Floyd going, he learnt as he went along, how to write, and 'Dark Side Of The Moon' was the obvious watershed. After that? Well, perhaps he moved beyond the other guys in the band. Roger does a particular thing, and listening to this album has driven up my respect for him ten-fold.
