Part of Me Died
Great album by Roger Waters. As always lyrics that makes you think and look at things from a different angle and skilful musicianship from everybody involved in the album production. If you're a Waters' fan, buy it.

Roger Waters on this album largely repeats his past designs. The album tracks are so reminiscent of the compositions of other albums that there is always a desire to make sure that this is a new track. But the music on the album is high quality. Although it’s time to forget the motives of the album “Wall” and to develop new musical themes.

At last ex-Pink Floyd's mastermind releases his new album, the first after 1992's "Amused to death" and it rocks. Great songs for all fans of Dark side of the moon era!

A good album. But, nothing new or surprising. David Gilmour is missing ...
