THE FINAL CUT

the saddest floyd album. in many ways...... this is my first review on PA. i've known 'the wall' like the back of my hand since i was 8, but i got 'the final cut' in high school. haunting, sublime, harrowing. obviously roger's themes carried over, but still..... one of the best sounding albums ever layed to tape, from an audiophile aspect (i have a good ear, and this is fucking crystal). immaculate. almost as clear as your favorite coke laden steely dan album. but the material here runs much deeper. i always called this one the best album to slit your wrists to, but in a heartfelt, endearing way. oh, but the tunes are terrific too! no track by track, and i do give it 4 solely because it creates a stirring emotion upon the listener (floyd fan or not). get ready to get down, and by down i mean down. terrific.
