What if I were to tell you cunts that this is actually a really good album?
Despite Pink Floyd being far and away my favourite band, I never found any of Roger's previous solo albums very listenable. I can't even remember them because I never gave them more than a listen or 2. I know a few songs from 'Radio Kaos' cause I had them on my old ipod, and a few songs I know from live dvd's I own, but otherwise I don't even remember his other solos. Just that they weren't good.
But yo, I've been going back to this album daily, with enthusiasm, since I dl'ed it maybe a week ago. I really dig it a lot. I think it's a great album. Shame my new motherfuckin' mp3 player doesn't have gapless playback, cos a lot of tracks blend into the next on this album. Tossing up whether I try to Rockbox that fucker, but very hesitant after bricking my 9 year old 160gb ipod classic attempting the same.
Also was thinking today how every album Roger's done from DSotM onwards is a concept album. All the Floyd ones he did after that and then his 3 previous solos. Not too sure if his last one before this, 'Amused to Death' was a concept album, but I assume it was cos all his albums are. I know his first 2 solos were. Pretty fucken cool to make solely concept albums.
Anyway, check it out. Highly recommended by this listener.
