THE FINAL CUT

The Final Cut is pretty much the The Wall part two. It's dominated by Roger, with no input from Wright (who left) and very limited input from Gilmour. Save for a few decent tracks, this album is not only inconsistent, but weak musically.

Most of the songs offer almost nothing exciting musically except for a few guitar moments from Gilmour.

'The Gunner's Dream,' 'Not Now John,' and 'Two Suns In the Sunset' are the highlight of the album, but are still decent tracks at best. The piano and sax are great in all of them.

This should have been released as a Roger Waters studio album, there's truly nothing Pink Floyd about it. As much as I love Roger's contributions in the earlier albums, this one simply falls short.
