It seems as if Roger Waters has completely taken over the group, and rites all the lyrics, most of the music, and sings almost all of the ongs. Still, the album is very good, very INTENSE. His singing is ery much like The Wall, yet more expressive, more powerful. This album s more than a sequel to The Wall, more like a backround to it. Waters s unafraid to attack anyone, and successively cuts down Reagan, Haig, reshnev, Thatcher, and even good old ex-president Nixon. Waters contemplates nuclear holocaust, the loss of his father in orld War II, and a vision of 'The Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable emale backround vocalists, with his own that shout 'Fuck all that, Fuck ll that. '. He cuts down the Japenese, but at the same time sympathizes ith them, 'But it can't be much fun for them, ... With all their kids ommitting suicide.'. With grand visions, and moving vocals, Waters makes this an album nderlying feeling of The Wall, but extends it, sort of coming out from ehind the wall. A must album for all Floyd (i.e. Roger Waters) fans, it an best be described, in Waters own terms, as a 'Requiem for The Post ar Dream.
