ROGER WATERS "radio kaos" cd,1987.

Music Head did this one a month or so ago...
the comments are about the same....'good album but could have done without the jibberish between the tracks.all of which make this a concept album'
nothing on here i do not like...we both agree on there only being one great track on it...the brilliant "the tide is turning"...
however we disagree on the worst track, MH's is "home", he dislikes this one, i like it,was unlucky IMO not to get a love score...,my worst track is "who needs information",which we both like...
all up not a bad album but im left feeling that Waters is still caught between his Pink Floyd sounds whilst trying to move on to a 'new' sound, and he is not quite there...

1s=0

rating: 2.0 (MH gave this one 1.9 and allmusic 2.1)

There is always something unique about a Roger Waters production, even if the music isn't quite up to scratch. I actually quite like this album but I have to admit the 'concept' is bizarre and very patchy to say the least. Cover is brilliant. Morse code of the track titles. Just like Floyd's braille on the spine of TDB. An inventive lot.
