Product Description

CD Description

This is not a pretty album. Described as "a requiem for thepost war drama" it is Pink Floyd at their most miserable. In addition to the somber lyrics and themes explored by RogerWaters, it was recorded while the band were so fragmented, they had effectively broken up. Gilmour and Waters' feud hasbeen well documented and this could well have been titled THE FINAL STRAW. The only hint of lightness and humour throughout is in "Not Now John", but only in the shape of irony ("Can't stop lose job mind gone silicon"). Not an album to be played at parties or anniversaries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final Cut but a good one!, 15 Jun 2004
By robojam - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Sometimes it's really hard to explain apparent contradictions, like something that is beautiful even though it is ugly on the surface. That's how I feel about this album, and how the music affects me - it's harsh in places, and Roger Waters is more spitting venom than singing, but it's truly, truly beautiful!

I don't think Roger Waters managed to capture the same amount of emotional range in his voice on any other album, and he sing every track here with the exception of 'Not Now John', which features Dave Gilmour.

The horror of war, the jingoism that sends a country's young to die, and the lives of those forgotten after they are no longer needed are all covered here in Waters' inimitable way. 'The Gunners Dream' is a great track, and followed by the sad 'Paranoid Eyes'.

From start to end this album is very emotional. Not emotional in the way that brings a tear to your eyes, but emotional in that it's hard not to stop, listen and take it all in.

This is one of the forgotten Pink Floyd masterpieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roger Waters at naked best, 31 Aug 2004
By A Customer
The Final Cut - The last Pink Floyd album. I think it could also be classified as a Waters solo attempt. Roger's voice is bare and full of emotion throughout this album which mainly deals with the madness of war and the death of his father. It is a very personal dark record but it strikes the point perfectly. This is also one of the best sounding remasters I have heard in a long time. Well done James Guthrie! I would only recommend it to die hard Pink Floyd or Roger Waters fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Final Cut of 'The Final Cut', 31 Mar 2004
By L. Hutchinson (Newcastle Upon Tyne, Britain) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Effectively a Roger Waters solo album in all but name, 'The Final Cut' is a disappointing Pink Floyd album, although it is a very good start to Waters' solo career. It's a disappointing Pink Floyd album because the Floyd are scarcely on it: Rick Wright is gone and David Gilmour and Nick Mason are both under the 'Do as you're told' cosh. The album's theme- the futility of war- was never going to be a barrel of laughs, and without the rest of Pink Floyd to add their distinctive sense of drama, or indeed act as a restraining influence on Waters' obsession, the atmosphere of unremitting gloom becomes overwhelming.

However, as an album 'The Final Cut' probably has more clarity than the previous Pink Floyd album 'The Wall'. It is certainly more bitter and vicious as opener 'The Post War Dream' clearly demonstrates with its caustic attack on the nature of war. Moreover, if that doesn't prove the point then check out the dark humour of 'The Fletcher Memorial Home', were Waters' spits out his condemnation of tyrants from across the world, from Thatcher to Paisley.

Headphone fans should check out the holophonic sound effect at the start of 'Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert', where a rocket is launched in front of the listener and then proceeds to crash into the back of their head.

Certainly, 'The Final Cut' sits more easily with Waters' subsequent solo albums than with the Pink Floyd catalogue, either before or after. Indeed, it would probably get the respect it deserves and the attention it deserves if it did. Despie all of this, "The Final Cut" is a album that should be in everyone's album collection!
