answer: three
context: Title: Radio K.A.O.S.
  Passage: Radio K.A.O.S. is a studio album by English rock musician and former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters.  Released on 15 June 1987 in the United Kingdom and June 16 in the United States, it was Waters' second solo album after his split from Pink Floyd in 1985.  Like his previous and future studio albums and many works of his during his time with Pink Floyd, the album is a concept album that is based on a number of key factors of politics in the late 1980s, including monetarism and its effect on citizens, popular culture of the time, and the events and consequences of the Cold War.  It also makes criticisms of Margaret Thatcher's government, much like Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut", another album conceived by Waters.  The album follows Billy, a mentally and physically disabled man from Wales, forced to live with his uncle David in Los Angeles after his brother Benny was sent to prison after protesting against the government, following his dismissal from his job in mining due to "market forces".  The album explores Billy's mind and view on the world through an on-air conversation between him and Jim, a disc jockey at a local fictitious radio station named Radio KAOS.
  Title: Déjà Vu (Roger Waters song)
  Passage: "Déjà Vu" is a song by English rock musician and former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, and the second track on his fourth studio album, "Is This the Life We Really Want? " It was released as a single on 8 May 2017, with the album being released on 2 June 2017, by Columbia Records.  It was previously known as "Lay Down Jerusalem (If I Had Been God)" when played live before single's official release.
  Title: Ça Ira (opera)
  Passage: Ça Ira (French for "It'll be fine", subtitled "There is Hope") is the fourth studio album by Roger Waters.  It is an opera in three acts and a concept album.  The album is based on the French libretto co-written by Étienne and Nadine Roda-Gil on the historical subject of the early French Revolution. " Ça Ira" was released 26 September 2005, as a double CD album featuring baritone Bryn Terfel, soprano Ying Huang, and tenor Paul Groves.  The album received mixed reviews, with critics praising the composition but criticising its plot and simplicity.
  Title: The Final Cut (album)
  Passage: The Final Cut is the twelfth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 21 March 1983 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and on 2 April by Columbia Records in the United States.  It was Pink Floyd's last studio album to include founding member, bass guitarist and songwriter Roger Waters, and their only album on which he alone is credited for writing and composition.  It was also the only Pink Floyd album that does not feature keyboardist Richard Wright.  Waters originally planned "The Final Cut" as a soundtrack album for the 1982 film "Pink Floyd – The Wall".  With the onset of the Falklands War, he rewrote it as a concept album, exploring what he considered the betrayal of his father, who died serving in the Second World War.  Waters sings most of the lyrics; lead guitarist David Gilmour provides lead vocals on only one track.  The packaging, also designed by Waters, reflects the album's war theme.
  Title: Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume 1
  Passage: Flickering Flame: The Solo Years Volume I is a compilation album of former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters' solo material, released in Europe and Australia in 2002 (see 2002 in music).  It was not released in the US and UK until 30 May 2011, when this album along with the rest of the Waters' solo material was released as part of "The Roger Waters Collection" Boxset.  The album will be sold separately from the compilation, for a 12-month term.
  Title: Us + Them Tour
  Passage: The Us + Them Tour is an ongoing concert tour by Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd.  The tour will visit the United States and Canada, showcasing songs from Waters' career both with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist.  Also considered as the tour of his most recent album "Is This the Life We Really Want? ", because this is the first time he plays songs from that record.  It opened on 26 May 2017 in Kansas City, MO, and the North American leg of the show will end on 28 October 2017 in Vancouver, BC.  Waters has revealed that he will take the tour to Australia and New Zealand, and later to Europe, during 2018, and some dates for Europe and Oceania were announced during the month of September 2017.
  Title: Smell the Roses
  Passage: "Smell the Roses" is a song by English rock musician and former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, and the ninth track on his fifth studio album, "Is This the Life We Really Want? " It was released as a single on 20 April 2017, and the album was released on 2 June 2017, by Columbia Records.
  Title: Time (Pink Floyd song)
  Passage: "Time" is the fourth track from the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album "The Dark Side of the Moon", and the only song on the album credited to all four members of the band, though the lyrics were written by Roger Waters.  It is the final Pink Floyd song credited to all four members and the last to feature Richard Wright on lead vocals until "Wearing the Inside Out" on "The Division Bell".  This song is about how time can slip by, but many people do not realise it until it is too late.  Roger Waters got the idea when he realised he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it.  He has described this realisation taking place at ages 28 and 29 in various interviews.  It is noted for its long introductory passage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded as a quadrophonic test by Alan Parsons, not specifically for the album.
  Title: What God Wants, Part I
  Passage: "What God Wants, Part I" is the first song in a series of songs written and released by former Pink Floyd bassist, Roger Waters on his third solo album, "Amused to Death".  "What God Wants" is separated into three parts, much like Pink Floyd's earlier work with "Another Brick in the Wall".  Though the song is in three parts, "What God Wants Pt. 1", was the only one to be released as a single.  The song features the guitar playing of Jeff Beck.  This part in particular deals with the contradictory duality and hypocrisy perceived by Waters in dogmatic religion and its power over man.  The following parts, along with the other songs on the album, deal with worship not only in religion but also in regard to materialism and consumption.  All together, its viewpoint is on the power of simplistic conformity; how people adhere to something, not entirely by volition, but out of submission.
  Title: Is This the Life We Really Want?
