So is mine.

I would have liked 'Amused To Death' more only if it weren't for 'Late Home Tonight'.

I'm sure it will be - he cant help himself. i mean can you honestly see him putting together a bunch of unrelated songs.

not that there's anything wrong with that :lol:

I'm a Pros and Cons man.

Who else but Roger could split up with his wife by saying "Fuck it then, take the kids back to town. Maybe I'll see you around."

It was, mind you, only a dream. Not the real Reg, of course.

I think that line, musically as well, is the high point of that album. Always makes me smile.

He should do a concept album, but, it has been sooo long. So, just demos would make me happy now.

I'd be surprised if he put out another album at this point, but you never know, I guess. I'm sure if he did it would be a concept album. Since DSOTM, he hasn't done anything other than that. But I didn't really like his solo stuff that much, so I imagine if he did put out a new album, it would not be a life changing event for me. But you never know, I guess.

I think he should just put out an album. I don't care if its a concept or not, because he'll never do one if ihe's waiting for a concept to present itself. But he should include musical input from other artists; his best work is collaborations, as much as he doesn't want to admit it. I rather enjoy "Hello I Love You" with Howard Shore...
And yes, I still enjoy bits of KAOS.

I would like to think that over the last ten or so years he has had enough emotion and excitement to knock out a cracking straight from the hip Album without going to deep and depressing to put along side the Wall. That is by no means a criticism. I would just like something funny / ironic/ a touch of melancholy as per usual. But i would not be surprised if he dont just retire.

Well whatever the new album will look like,i'm sure Roger won't disappoint us.
Ι'm sure we will see true feelings on his every single word.

The bid deal is the music.I was very disappointed from the simple non creative style that he used on his solo works...

I want to listen to a more bluesy sound,more like the 70's.What happened to that spirit anyway?
