Roger Waters, Us And Them. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Us And Them, strangely even more prophetic in dark, unyielding times, than perhaps at any moment in the last fifty years; for the world hangs in the balance, a plaything for a few conceited, evil souls who are happy to destroy peace, place every citizen in poverty, and become strangers to each other if it means their billions lay undisturbed, that the camera adores them and they can spout their hateful rhetoric and dogma to the believers and the flagellating disciples to whom no wrong can be seen in their eyes.

Roger Waters, Gig Review. Echo Arena, Liverpool. (2018).

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The air and atmosphere inside the Echo Arena was still, a feeling arguably of the uncertainty of time in which the overbearingly hot, sweat-filled and almost distaste of a lack of summer breeze coming off the Mersey, ran riot with the emotions of the thousands who were there, milling around, some hand in hand, others clutching the only means of cooling down they could find, a full circle reached, in a way that only Roger Waters perhaps could achieve.

Roger Waters, Is This The Life We Really Want? Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Only we know the answer that lays deep in our hearts, the reply to a thousand years of history and few thousand more, of politicians and so called gurus, sages all, putting their stamp down on the world in which they would like to see created, the lie in their own image; it may be wrong but it is the one that they see as the one most fitting when asked, Is This The Life We Really Want?

Pink Floyd, Dark Side Of The Moon. 40th Anniversary Retrospective.

There has been so much written about Dark Side of the Moon that to even attempt to add more could be seen as either reckless folly, a journey of writing insanity or a grandiose piece of that is seen as just adding to the cannon and millions of words that have surrounded Pink Floyd’s much admired 1973 album.

Roger Waters, Amused To Death. 20th Anniversary Retrospective.

Originally published by L.S. Media. September 1st 2012.

When looking back at the work of Roger Waters, it is of course impossible to leave aside the time he spent with Pink Floyd. The legendary Progressive Rock king’s output had been prodigious and ground breaking with Roger being the main songwriter behind some of the group’s work in the post Syd Barrett era. His solo career though, the music he created after leaving the band as the thoughts of winding up the group completely was not to be considered in the same vein and by some not fit to mentioned in the same breath as say Animals, The Wall or Wish You Were Here.

L.S. Media Rating *****

The Wall is one of those seminal albums from the last 50 years that seems to have transcended the idea of music and theatre being a separate entity. Its main writer, Roger Waters and the guys that made up one of Britain’s most loved rock bands, Pink Floyd, are so ingrained in its effect on the national psyche that it continues to sell in massive numbers and fans of the band continue to hold onto copies of their vinyl and tape even in the face of downloads.

Pink Floyd, The Wall. Immersion Release. Album Review.

Originally published by L.S. Media. February 27th 2012.

L.S. Media Rating *****

In the world of musical clichés, one of the most often bandied about and repeated with startling regularity is that Pink Floyd’s 1979 album, The Wall, is the greatest moment of Rock music captured for posterity forever.
