Pros: Roger Waters again proves to be an excelent song writer

Cons: More like a Roger Waters solo project

As Pink Floyd entered the 80's, the band eventually began to fall apart. In 1983, the group managed to record another record, despite of its internal problems. What we got here is "The Final Cut", which is a continues off where "Th...e Wall" left off. "The Wall", was a classic record, and if you expect to see that here, then you'll just end up being dissapointed. In reality, The Final Cut is merely a band effort, in fact it was Roger Water who wrote all these songs.David Gilmour and Nick Mason only contribute as background musicians. The songs here are not as near as catchy as their earlier material. Out of all Pink Floyd recordings, this must be their worst. Sure their are some good pieces in it, like "Not Now John", or "Fletchers Memorial Home", but even those songs are weak compared to any of their earlier songs. Depending on your view, this might be a creative leap for Roger Waters, but it's definately not good for the band itself. If you want some classic Pink Floyd records, concentrate on "Wish You Were Here", or "The Darkside of the Moon", when Pink Floyd actually operated as a group effort. Read more Less
