Roger Waters - The Pros & Cons of Going Solo

Very well done. “The Bravery of being out of range” on that disc is one of the best things he’s done in an extremely long time.

Roger Waters & Joni Mitchell (and one or two others) - The Tide is Turning for a new appreciation of Roger Waters' music in the wake of his marvellous Lockdown Sessions album. It's just a pity Roger had to then go and ruin it by doing a somewhat less than brilliant redux version of Dark Side of the Moon. As Mike mentioned earlier, if only the DSOTM redux had been as awesome as The Lockdown Sessions, it could've Breathed new life into a classic album which has really stood the test of Time fifty years on. Could've, Would've, Should've. Oh well, C'est La Vie, as we say in England. I guess Roger was just having One of Those Days, again.

^ No. But if you don't like Roger Waters, you can choose to see it that way.

This is it! Roger Waters' long-awaited remake of Dark Side of the Moon has finally arrived, celebrating the 50th anniversary of this iconic album. But, dare I say it, Roger's redux version is just a tad disappointing - even by my own low standards of awarding every other prog album a  5-star rating - and where Roger's tired and listless performance gives new meaning to the word "lethargic".

I finally bought this on CD. It is absolutely lovely. Two suns and the Sunset is my favourite. Amazing spin on that track.
