Amused to Death

Roger Waters

A cinematic, ultra-high-fidelity critique of media and war. Dense soundscapes, Jeff Beck's searing guitar, and a 3D audio mix that demands total isolation.

September 1, 1992 · GM Music (3)

A meticulously crafted, cinematic descent into media-saturated cynicism and anti-war lament.

Jeff Beck's soaring, fluid guitar solo cutting through the tension of What God Wants, Part III
The haunting monologue of a WWI veteran opening the album over sparse, atmospheric keys
