Album Notes & Community Reviews
Releasing his first album of new rock material in twenty-five years, the former Pink Floyd visionary enlists Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich to craft a deeply cinematic, heavily orchestrated record. The album is a bleak, furiously political critique of modern global leadership, drone warfare, and societal apathy. It successfully resurrected the brooding, grandly theatrical atmosphere of his legendary 1970s conceptual work.
