THE FINAL CUT

The final cut essentially feels like one long, dull song. The same sort of thing is repeated for 43 minutes. There is a real lack of effort here, and I can find very little that recommends it to any listener. Roger waters seems to have stifiled the production of the rest of his band, and the result is that The final cut seems basically pointless. The mind switches off while you listen to it: it doesn't engage the listener even slightly, which is quite an achievement. Dreadful.
