4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Good, April 13, 2001

I really like this album. I've heard some bad things about it, and, although it's not on par with Roger's Pink Floyd work, or Amused To Death for that matter, it is still quite good. Maybe the reason some people don't like it is because, musically, it isn't what you would expect from Waters. It's really a period piece... it is soooooooooooooooooooooo 80's. However, Roger's instantly recognizable lyrical touch and unifying vision serve to make this album have more of a lasting appeal than it's 80's-sound and Cold War paranoia would normally allow. The vocals on this album are interesting. Everybody knows that Roger is not noted as an outstanding singer, but his vocals on this album are distinctive and inspired, quite unlike, at times, anything he has done before or since. Also, the backing vocalists are used far more effectively here than they were to be on Amused To Death. The music itself is far less guitar-oriented than his other work, it consits mainly of the aforementioned 80's style synths and sounds. Of course there is also no Eric Clapton or Jeff Beck on this album. Despite this, all the songs are interesting, some for musicality, but all for Roger's novel lyrics and dry, caustic delivery. The lyrics, focused as they are, aren't as universal as past Waters efforts, but he still hits home and his wit is ever-present. The album flows together nicely, so there aren't really any standout songs, but all of them are good. A big improvement over Pros and Cons, and a step toward his masterpiece Amused To Death, a recommended album for Waters fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Radio KAOS - Roger Waters creates a masterpiece!, September 8, 2000

Radio KAOS is absolutely one of the finest pieces of music ever - period! Roger Waters, the brains, heart and soul of Pink Floyd, travels musical light years in this masterpiece. His sharp wit, tasty vocals and monumental song writing skills are at their absolute peak here. The first song starts out with radio legend Jim Ladd reprising his KMET role, and then the music kicks in. From that instant until the Morse code ending of "The Tide is Turning . . ." I was absolutely mesmerized. Buy it, listen to it, feel it - this is truly immaculate music.

5.0 out of 5 stars WHAT MEMORIES!, May 17, 2004

a few here have said it's very 80's, well thats when it was done, and dont think the theme of this album is taken very lightly, the miners strike still opens raw wounds of Thatchers Britain, I suppose you had to live through it to go through the emotions of this amazing album,I am not going to pick the album apart track by track, just surf the net get all the info about the strike (not the official stuff of the government, its lies) but the true real life stuff by real people ,then go through this albums lyrics, then it becomes something of a different animal.... and believe me the have and have nots are still here today, nothing has changed, just rubbish pop music that does not touch on real life here like this music does...... Why do you think this guy got slated so much in the press etc... coz the truth hurts and he came to close to it.
