Quick Summary

Amused to Death is a 1992 album by Roger Waters, a British musician best known as a founding member and former songwriter and bassist for the rock band Pink Floyd. After departing Pink Floyd in 1985, Waters launched a solo career, releasing Amused to Death in 1992, which featured guitarist Jeff Beck. The album's title suggests a theme of entertainment or distraction, as "amused" means to cause someone to pass the time agreeably occupied. Waters's solo work, like his contributions to Pink Floyd, often features conceptual depth and personal or political themes.12
