Touto recenziou chcem ohodnotiť skladby mimo troch štúdioviek Rogera Watersa. Od Tower of Faith (jedinej, ktorá má šťavu), cez všeobecne známu a tu obyčajnú (ale lepšiu ako Dylanovu verziu) Knockin on heavens door, pop nárek Lost boys calling až po nezáživnú Flickering flame. Waters s postupom času ide cestou, kde ustupuje krása hudby a na prvé miesto idú texty. To dokázal aj na poslednom SP z roku 2004 To kill children/Leaving Beirut (posledná menovaná 12 a pol minútová skladba je založená len na texte, nič sa tam nedeje). Áno, texty sú dôliežité (v dnešnej dobe kvalitné snaď ani už neexistujú), ale v rockovej hudbe si myslím, že hudba má vždy prednosť pred textom, akokoľvek kvalitným (preto nemám rád folk a hip-hop, kde bez textu ako keby nemusela hudba existovať). Napriek tomu majú Watersove textskladby zvláštnu atmosféru, ktorá ma núti z dvoch skočiť v hodnotení na tri hviezdy.
