Listening to the new Roger Waters album (Is this the life we really want?) at the moment, it's an eclectic mix of simple guitar based songs with some rich synth/orchestral accompaniment and a kind of "Animals" vibe (lot's of contemporary TV/Radio dialogue in the background tracks, including a guest appearance by the Trump!) The main themes are his normal soap-box themes i.e. war, liberty, fighting "the-man", paranoia, fear, capitalism etc. It's good though, I particularly like the track "Deja Vue", a song that proposes an interesting thought experiment, "if I had been God".. I enjoyed the line, "If I had been God, I would have sired many sons and would not have suffered the Romans to kill even one of them"..
