Waters told ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'': "My view is that I've been involved in two absolutely classic albums – ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'' and ''[[The Wall]]'' [...] And if you haven't got ''Amused to Death'', you haven't got the full set. So [[In the Flesh – Live|this album]] – the live one, which pulls together songs from all three albums – hopefully redresses the balance."{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} On 19 September 2013, Waters told BBC HardTalk that ''Amused to Death'' has been completely underrated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03b9578/hardtalk-roger-waters-musician|title=BBC News Channel - HARDtalk, Roger Waters - Musician|work=BBC|access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PUyVZ0t1sU| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130923223546/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PUyVZ0t1sU&gl=US&hl=en| archive-date=2013-09-23 | url-status=dead|title=BBC HARDtalk - Roger Waters - Musician (19/9/13)|date=20 September 2013|work=YouTube|access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref>

On 15 April 2015, Waters announced that the album would be remastered and reissued on 24 July 2015 featuring a new 5.1 multichannel audio mix, as well as a new stereo mix. It was made available in a number of formats, including CD, [[Super Audio CD|SACD]], [[Blu-ray]] and high-resolution downloads.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/04/roger-waters-announces-newly-remixed-version-of-amused-to-death/|title=Roger Waters announces newly remixed version of Amused to Death|work=Consequence of Sound|date=15 April 2015|access-date=2 August 2015}}</ref> In a review of the 2015 remastering of the album, journalist J.C. Maçek III of Spectrum Culture wrote that "Not every album can be a masterpiece, but Waters has stated that ''Amused to Death'' is an underrated effort that serves as a third part to ''Dark Side of the Moon'' and ''The Wall''. But it's nowhere near those other albums. The 2015 remastering makes it a good sounding album, but it's just not the kind of infinitely listenable album that Waters is capable of creating."<ref name=SC/> In its review of the 2015 reissue, [[PopMatters]] wrote: "not only has ''Amused to Death'' aged well musically, it has unfortunately aged well thematically too. [...] ''Amused to Death'' was and still is a powerful statement from one of rock music's most literate misanthropes. As time goes on, it gets harder and harder to believe that it slipped under everyone's radar so thoroughly."<ref name="PopMatters"/> [[Drowned in Sound]] wrote: "''Amused to Death'' stands up on its own as one of the better, more intriguing post-Floyd records".<ref name="Drowned in Sound"/>
