ROGER WATERS - IS THIS THE LIFE WE REALLY WANT (2LP/180G/GATEFOLD/DL CARD)
Roger Waters, the creative power and songwriting force behind Pink Floyd, presents Is This The Life We Really Want ?, his first rock album in 25 years.  The album is produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Beck, U2, "From the Basement"), and includes 12 new Roger Waters musical compositions and studio performances.
Roger Waters' last studio album, 1992's Amused To Death, was a prescient study of popular culture, exploring the power of television in the era of the First Gulf War.  This long-awaited follow-up, Is This The Life We Really Want ?, is an unflinching commentary on the modern world and uncertain times, and a natural successor to such classic  Pink Floyd albums as Animals and The Wall.

SIDE TWO  1. Picture That  2. Broken Bones 
SIDE THREE  1. Is This the Life We Really Want?  2. Bird In A Gale  3. The Most Beautiful Girl

The lyrics for Wait for Her were written by Roger Waters and inspired by an English translation by an unknown author of "Lesson from the Kama Sutra (Wait for Her)," by Mahmoud Darwish.
