Title: Sounds dated but....
Review: Before you jump to any conclusions...Yes, the album can sound dated. Many albums from the 80's can and do. There's also the classic concept album motif that Roger always employs on his albums. He enjoys telling stories through the music to make you at the very least think. This is a man with a message. You may not always agree, but he does make it interesting. Remember also the 80's was all about The Cold War, Nukes, Reagan, SALT, etc...Rocks songs about Geo-Politics don't usually fall into the genre of pop. Roger Waters does NOT write pop songs. Thankfully the man has something more important to say than Britney Spears. They say the man is bitter, but he's also devilishly clever and an extremely talented song writer and lyricist. If you love Floyd, then KAOS will not be a problem. The songs are there, even if the technology has aged. The story may get a bit confusing, but the album wraps up nice with "The Tide is Turning". It's worth the listen.
Is the review positive or negative?
