I agree with this review by Kevin R. Lovelace "Wicasta" (Kings Mountain, NC USA):
I'm not going to claim that this album is easily approachable. It's not. It's a great album, but it's an immersive experience, and as such requires more of the listener's concentration that most people are comfortable with. I rarely put this album on unless I intend to listen to it in its entirety. Its scope is much more personal than most of Waters' other work, which is (Amused To Death, for example) more global. I would recommend approaching this album with an open mind. If you're looking for a quick shot of pop candy, talk to Mr. Gilmour. If you're looking for a work with a solid underpinning, then give this a chance. You won't regret it, and the remastering brings out a lot of the ambience.
