    Now that we’ve covered the series of global ‘classic’ albums by Pink Floyd, we can now address the aftermath.

    The mid-eighties was not the best of times for Pink Floyd (or Roger Waters, who was now a solo artists). The albums released at this time were certainly not bad albums, but they definitely lacked the spark and intensity of what the audience expected; the era of infallibility was over.

    So, after “Animals,” “The Wall”, and “The Final Cut,” we can now take a look at some of Roger’s solo work from this era and the first Pink Floyd album released without him.

    Featured tracks include:

    Towers of Faith

    Folded Flags

    Who Needs Information

    Four Minutes

    The Tide Is Turning (after Live-Aid)
