Our Take
Roger Waters, the famed Pink Floyd bassist and lyricist, has once again taken us on a bizarre and thought-provoking journey with his latest solo album, "The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking." Released in 1984, this concept album follows a man's dreams over the course of a single night, exploring themes of love, lust, and existential dread. From the opening track "4:30 AM (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad)," Waters hooks listeners with his signature blend of poetic lyrics and haunting melodies. The album's narrative unfolds like a surrealist film, with each song offering a glimpse into the protagonist's psyche as he grapples with his inner demons. Standout tracks like "Sex, Dreams And Denial" and "5:01 AM (The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking Part 10)" showcase Waters' ability to craft intricate musical landscapes that transport listeners to another realm. His dark, brooding vocals perfectly complement the album's introspective themes, drawing listeners deeper into the protagonist's twisted psyche. While "The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking" may not be as commercially successful as Waters' work with Pink Floyd, it stands as a testament to his unparalleled creativity and willingness to push the boundaries of conventional rock music. Fans of experimental rock and introspective lyricism will find plenty to love in this enigmatic album. So hitch a ride with Roger Waters and let yourself get lost in the haunting beauty of his latest masterpiece.
