Amused to Death, by Roger Waters (1992): Since I mentioned this album's strongest cut last week, I suppose it's only natural that it be today's AotD. I've never really gotten into Waters's solo work - it all seems to tread the same path be started out with The Wall (or perhaps Animals) lyrically and musically it doesn't do much for me. There are lots of talented musicians involved (Jeff Beck, Steve Luthaker, and even American Idol's Randy Jackson), but something's missing. I think it has to do with Waters's vocals. He just doesn't sing all that well, or that much, for that matter. It's no coincidence that David Gilmour handled a lot of vocal duties with Pink Floyd.
