Digitally remastered by Doug Sax and Ron Lewter (1992, The Mastering Lab).

Amused to Death is a solid album both conceptually and musically, showcasing Waters as an artist who, like his work with Pink Floyd, conveys his thoughts and ideals with pinpoint accuracy so that they are engraved within his audience's mind. With this album, Waters touches heavily on the dangers of capitalism, the insensitivity of the human race, the ridiculousness of war, and the onslaught of mindless entertainment that encroaches on mankind on a day-to-day basis. Fitting all these aspects into 14 songs is a task in itself, but accomplishing this task alongside music that is forceful and appealing is extremely difficult, and still Waters succeeds in doing this throughout the duration of the album. "The Ballad of Bill Hubbard" is a moving spoken intro from Alf Razzell, a former member of Britain's Royal Fusiliers. A stab at the false sense of security that lies within religion is dealt with on the powerful "What God Wants, Pt. 1," and the cowardice of the world's leaders is addressed in "The Bravery of Being Out of Range," one of the albums most blatant tracks. Guest guitarist Jeff Beck rises to the occasion on a number of songs here, and both Rita Coolidge and Don Henley fill in behind and beside Waters on a couple of the longer tunes. Ending with the title track, a song that sums up the whole of the album with it's subtle yet hard-hitting demeanor, Waters proves that he can still reveal his conceptual ideas with pristine clarity, only on Amused to Death, the music is as equally entertaining and effective. ~ Mike DeGagne

Entertainment Weekly (9/11/92, p.89) - "..Roger Waters' 14-track rumination on some of our choicest social ills scores some serious points...Not all the tracks strike their targets cleanly, but those that do give this record unusual depth.." - Rating: A-

5 stars no doubt rogers best solo album
out of all 3 roger waters solo albums this one has more of a organic feel to it. getting to my point. it sounds more of a pink floyd album than "momentary" or the "division bell." i really like jeff becks guitar style mixing with rogers sound. an overall awesome cd if you still want that pink floyd sound. way more vision and depth than a dave solo album. dave does have the best solos but the song ends there. later.

5 stars tasteful
Granted Roger Water's music is not for everyone, but you must give him credit for building his music around the meaning of the lyrics and remember that this is a satire about the influences of television. Awesome tracks like Too Much Rope, 3 Wishes and the bravery of being out of range are 3 of his best, if your a Floyd fan definately grab this while you still can

3 stars Amusing is musings
This is a very good album from a great prog rock pioneer. "The Bravery of Being Out of Range" should be played for all elected officials about to send troops to battle. I also have a question. Did Roger Waters run over this Kit dude's dog?

Put on your headphones and sit back. It is full of surprises and there is nothing not to like about this work of art.
