Yeah, those songs were good, but I agree, the backup singers got to be too much...once he did "Not Now John", he couldn't let go...

It started on DSOTM then i thought it was good, now it's just too much they really irritate me on ITF. I think it's unforgivable Roger let them sing the line ''And you believe at heart everyone's a killer'' on Dogs.

Christ, thank God it's not just me!

I think he was WAY too reliant on them on ATD. They're brilliant on Pros&Cons, and Clare Torry is stunning as ever on Radio KAOS...but they're far too overused on ATD.

C'mon Rog, they just make you sound ridiculous now.

The new album is called "HEARTLAND" according to a Jim Ladd interview.

From Rolling Stone:

Quote:

Former Pink Floyd leader Roger Waters has completed Ca Ira, his long-awaited opera. After a decade of work on the project, Waters reports that "it's done and delivered" and should be available as a double-CD through Sony Classical this fall.

Ca Ira -- loosely translated as "So It Will Be" -- was inspired by the French Revolution and is the latest conceptual work from the mastermind of The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and The Wall (1979).

Waters is considering staging Ca Ira as a concert performance in Rome this November with a full symphony, as well as adult and children's choruses. "I might conduct it," he says. "Wouldn't that be a buzz? Of course, I might need a few beta blockers before going on."

Waters has also long been at work on a rock album to follow 1992's Amused to Death, his examination of capitalism and mindless entertainment. Although he's recorded enough songs to "cobble something together and put it out tomorrow," Waters is aiming for a more coherent collection of songs. "I just keep smashing paint up against the canvas and waiting for it to make sense," he says.

While initially a meditation on love, the album has evolved to incorporate current world events. "Living in America now, I'm struggling with all those questions -- about the law, the Constitution, what's next for mankind and whether there's any moral high-ground to be had," Waters says. "Actually, it's all the same stuff I've been obsessed with since I was a teenager [laughs], so nothing new, really."

Slow and steady wins the race.

"Slow and steady wins the race."

That's just a bad excuse for people who can't run fast.

No crap. Plus, whenever the guy wants to write a song, he just picks up a newspaper and copies it. He used to be a poet. Now he's just the Tina Fey of songwriting.

I thought To Kill The Child was a good song, though it seems he can't help but be as direct as possible with his lyrics.

And Roger, you can sing, no need to bring in an army of backing singers in to add layers and layers of unnecessary gloss ontop of the sound.

Thirdly, considering the direction Roger has drifted in writing an opera seemed like a step into the past. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
