"Amused to Death further explores Waters' disillusionment with modern Western society, focusing specifically on the influence of television and the mass media. The album was inspired by the book Amusing Ourselves to Death, a critique of television and its related culture by Neil Postman."
"Like every studio album Roger Waters has done since The Dark Side of the Moon, Amused to Death is a concept album. This one is organized loosely around the idea of a monkey randomly switching channels on a television, but explores numerous political and social themes, including critiques of the First Gulf War in "The Bravery of Being Out of Range" and "Perfect Sense", in which famed sportscaster Marv Albert narrates a war as if it were a football game, and a massive choir sings their 'global anthem':
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds, shillings, and pence
"The album is mixed in QSound to enhance the spatial feel of the audio, and the many sound effects on the album -- rifle range ambience, sleighbells, cars, planes, distant horses, chirping crickets, and dogs -- all make use of the 3-D facility. This album's stellar audio quality also caught the attention of renowned audio mastering guru Bob Katz, who placed Amused to Death on his Honor Roll List of Good-Sounding Pop CDs (as seen at digido.com)."
