THE FINAL CUT

Poor David Gilmour. It's a shame that his only truly interesting moment is the solo on "Not Now John" (that song's got my name in it, part of why I like it). Roger Waters and the rest of Pink Floyd did themselves justice with "Dark Side of the Moon", but then the reigns started slipping from Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason, and Pink Floyd more or less became a one man show, starring none other than our bitchy little friend, Mr. Rogers-er, uh, Mr. Waters. Not a neccesary album, and would have been better dubbed a Waters solo album, with special guests Pink Floyd. But I must give credit where credit is due, and say that some of the songs cut here are fine with me, though they could have been squeezed onto "The Wall".
