Title: i blame paul carrack
Review: i cant image roger waters truely enjoying this album. while the closing songs, home, 4 minutes, and the tide is turning are decent, they do nothing to make you forget the abysmal opener (radio waves), and the follwing succession of bad songs that just scream "80s!" and where in God's name was paul carrack picked up from? his singing on "powers that be" turns an already irritating song into an absolute disgrace. (And i dont even want to mention what he did to floyd songs on the tour that followed this album) another strike against kaos is the down right silly plot. as other reviewers have detailed, it involves a whelsh boy in a wheel chair who hears (what else?) radio waves! somewhere along the line, the kid (billy) leanrs to speak, and gets a hold of jim ladd, a radio dj. from there, billy goes on to stage a fake nuclear war with his semi-telepathic abilities. honestly, what was roger (whos other solo albums i enjoy immensly) thinking here? ...i'll just blame paul carrack
Is the review positive or negative?
