This one ("Is this the Life we really Want") seems to be widely regarded as his most musical and listenable effort. It is growing on me, but I wish I'd got it on CD - I seem to spend more time getting up to change the record than listening. It is only 55 minutes long, spread over two discs. I think I may be getting lazy and impatient in my old age...Quote:

As for 'Pros and Cons of Hitch hiking', I've never heard that, though if he'd released a follow-up called 'The Pros and Cons of giving Roger Waters a Lift' I would have bought that :) Might have been funny.

The amazing thing with them is that every album is wonderfully recorded and produced, and I can’t think of one bad song on any album, Each album has a particular feel, but interestingly the tracks are usually varied.Quote:
