* SpiritualSuccessor: The album, especially in hindsight, is often been described by fans and analysts as on par with Music/PinkFloyd's classic albums, owed to its return to and expansion upon the band's late '70s sound and its concept being similar to that of ''Music/TheFinalCut''. Executives at Creator/ColumbiaRecords apparently admitted as much to him, saying that it would have sold many more copies if it was a Pink Floyd album.

* VindicatedByHistory: The album was pretty low-selling compared to the Gilmour-era Music/PinkFloyd releases, ''Music/AMomentaryLapseOfReason'' and ''Music/TheDivisionBell'', and the controversy of "What God Wants, Part I" and its accompanying music video led to MTV and radio passing on promoting the album (Waters also refused to tour behind it). However, it has since gained in status, nowadays being seen as a worthy SpiritualSuccessor to Waters' work with Pink Floyd, to the point where it received a high-resolution remaster in 2015.

* TearJerker: The audio sample in "Three Wishes" of the woman attempting to kill herself and her children by gassing. The murder-suicide attempt fails because she couldn't afford a big enough gas bottle.
