First of all, the listener falls to the catchy, straightforward composed background music. Typical synthpop 80s, produced very sterile and easy, but also clearly audible. If you want here not herumkritisieren once, but you can not help but to mention other obvious defects of the album.
1. Waters voice is certainly not uninteresting, but it is enough to fight against the rough synth sounds on this album? Too feeble to him quickly running out of air, then what is left of his overstrained voice is simply unpleasant.
2. A concept album about a dialogue between moderator and handicapped boy sounds stale, but also promising and leaves room for interesting ideas. However, text and melody want rare harmony that attracted by the production Popfreunde be put off by the wacky story, the progressive rock fans, however, the heavy-handed, far too simple-minded background music despise. Thus, no one is happy, because help is also very phony-sounding female voices in the background a little, let the whole thing thrown together sound.
3. If you have to look into a booklet to an album, because one is particularly interested in the lyrics, that's a beautiful thing. But you have to look into the booklet in order to even understand something, it gets annoying. In Waters case, one should first of all the history of told on the album story read to durchzublicken. However, while listening, things will not go better. The electronic computer voices you can not understand how so good, so you have to constantly look up to no fault of their own without losing track.
Conclusion: sterile produced, far area uninspired and with all his might "different" comes Waters Radio KAOS therefore. One disappointment for the fans, a small lull in Waters Discography. Whether the album has now produced unloving or not, I can not say, but you would have a lot to do better, both in songwriting and in the subsequent production of the synth-heavy, sometimes very electronic music in the studio. Thanks to some nice melody lines you can listen to the album and it still described as "OK", the listener, whether Pink Floyd fanatic or unvorbelastete interested, but certainly will not be excited.
Very sad ... and while "The Pros and Cons" has evolved over the years almost become a small classic, no one wants to talk about Radio KAOS.
It is also the only solo Waters album, which was not included in his later live performances, for example, "In the Flesh". That probably had his reasons ...
The follow-up album "Amused to Death" should be better but again ...
