The Pros and Cons of the Pros and Cons
, May 4, 2002Reviewer: Matt B - See all Matt B's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking review helpful Roger Water's first solo effort, (2nd if you count the strange Music from the Body Soundtrack) is overall a good album. With great guitar work provided by Eric Clapton how can you go wrong. But at times the album can seem slow. And now being the year 2002, can feel a bit dated. But give it a fair shot and a listen all the way through and you might be suprised. Worth checking out if you can find em are the live recordings from this tour. Especially the shows from 1984 when Clapton toured with Waters. The album is played in its entirity, and Clapton gives his hand at some of Pink Floyd's classic tracks. ... -

Pro Reviews: Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When dissected carefully, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking becomes a fascinating conceptual voyage into the workings of the human psyche. As an abstract peering into the intricate functions of the subconscious, Waters' first solo album involves numerous dream sequences that both figuratively and symbolically unravel his struggle with marriage, fidelity, commitment, and age at the height of a midlife crisis. While the songs (titled by the times in which Waters experiences each dream) seem to lack in musical fluidity at certain points, they make up for it with ingenious symbolism and his brilliant use of stream of consciousness within a subconscious realm. Outside from the deep but sometimes patchy narrative framework, the music slightly lacks in rhythm or hooks, except for the title track that includes some attractive guitar playing via Eric Clapton. David Sanborn's saxophone is another attribute, adding some livelihood to "Go Fishing" and "The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking." But it's truly the imagery and the visual design of the album that is front and center, since the importance lies in what Waters is trying to get across to the audience, decorated somewhat casually by his singing and the music. With Pink Floyd, the marriage of Waters' concepts and ideas with the talented musicianship of the rest of the band presented a complete masterpiece in both thought and music, while his solo efforts lean more toward the conceptual aspects of his work. With this in mind, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking continues to showcase Waters' unprecedented knack of addressing his most darkest thoughts and conceptions in a most extraordinary fashion. - Mike DeGagne, All Music Guide |
