About this album
His first solo album, 1984’s The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, was a project about a man’s dreams across one night. The list of musicians helping Waters during recording included guitarist Eric Clapton and jazz saxophonist David Sanborn. Conceived around the same time as The Wall, the concept was shown and demos played to the Pink Floyd members, but they chose to proceed with The Wall over The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, rejecting the latter as “too personal”. Gilmour was later to claim that this was not as obvious a task as might first seem, as, in his opinion, both demos were “unlistenable” and “sounded exactly alike.”[5] Longtime Pink Floyd engineer Nick Griffiths, however, says otherwise: “They were seriously rough, but the songs were there.”[6] The album, accompanied by Gerald Scarfe artwork that some claimed was sexist, received mixed reviews, with Kurt Loder describing Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking in Rolling Stone as a “strangely static, faintly hideous record.”[7] On the other end of the spectrum, Mike DeGagne of Allmusic praised the album for its “ingenious symbolism and his brilliant use of stream of consciousness within a subconscious realm”, rating it four out of five stars.[8]
He began touring the new album, aided by guitarist Eric Clapton,[9] and featuring a set design by Mark Fisher of Fisher Park and lighting design by Mark Brickman[10].

Frodo_Fraggins Lacks the melodic talents and balance of Gilmour. Amused to death was the closest he's come to his work with Floyd.
-
silvertree Disagree. This is Water's best.
-
ERIXWORX better than KAOS but not as good as Amused

Athena920 When I first listened to this album, I really didn't care much for it. It's really grown on me though, I love it now...It's probably my favorite solo album from any of the Floyd members.
-
Ekenstenen This is The Walls evil twin. Roger Waters presented both the material of The Wall and this one, and they chose, obviously The Wall. There's the reason why it may sound alot like The Wall.
-
RamaWirawan @s7a1n: Of course it sound like The Wall a lot. We all knew who was Pink Floyd. Yes, Pink Floyd was not a 'what'. Pink Floyd was a'who'. And who was it? Roger Waters. That's why he then claiming The Wall and forbid other PF members to play that album. That album is all about him. No others.
