THE FINAL CUT

Too me, this is Pink Floyd's most underrated album. This is due to the fact that is was released after the commercial hit "The Wall", which caused this album to just fly under the radar. The concept explores themes such as a post-war dream that wasn't achieved (The Post-War Dream), political ignorance of war (Not Now John), alcoholism and death (Southhampton Dock and Paranoid eyes), and most importantly, the impossible dream of a world without war (Gunners Dream). The combination of the concept, Roger waters emotional and biting lyrics and his connection to war, and the great musicianship displayed here make this album a hidden gem of the Pink Floyd discography. Definitely a great addition to an already great discography.
