Roger Waters, the creative power and song writing force behind Pink Floyd, announced ‘Is This The Life We Really Want?’.
Roger Waters' studio album, ‘Amused To Death’ (1992), was a prescient study of popular culture, exploring the power of television in the era of the First Gulf War. The long-awaited follow-up, 2017’s ‘Is This The Life We Really Want?’, is an unflinching commentary on the modern world and uncertain times. It serves as a natural successor to classic Pink Floyd albums such as ‘Animals’ and ‘The Wall’.
