• Released in 1992, Amused to Death is Roger Waters dark and ambitious critique of media, war, and consumer culture. Taking inspiration from Neil Postmans book Amusing Ourselves to Death, the album presents a dystopian vision where television anesthetizes societys conscience. With cinematic production, extensive use of QSound spatial effects, and contributions from Jeff Beck on guitar, Waters crafts a dense, immersive experience. Tracks like What God Wants, Perfect Sense, and the haunting title track combine lyrical sharpness with sweeping arrangementsmaking it Waters most powerful solo statement since The Wall.
  Reviews
  Waters most cohesive and compelling solo workAmused to Death is a chilling masterpiece. AllMusic
  A grim, gorgeously produced concept album… Jeff Becks guitar elevates it to another level. Mojo
  One of the most underrated rock albums of the ’90sbleak, beautiful, and brutally honest. Classic Rock Magazine
  An Orwellian opera with the sonic scope of The Wall and the cynicism turned up to 11. Rolling Stone
  Stunning in its ambition and execution… Waters at his most biting and theatrical. The Quietus
