THE FINAL CUT

The first Roger Waters solo album? Wright is absent, and the rest of the group seemed to have phoned this one in. Is it a horrible album? No. In fact I like it better than Roger's solo efforts, but it is NOT a classic Pink Floyd album. This is not ANIMALS, WISH YOU WERE HERE, or MEDDLE. I class this along with THE WALL, good but not terribly memorable. THE WALL, I find to be too long with too many uninspired and even dull parts (would have been an awesome single disc album if pared down correctly). Here, THE FINAL CUT, has some good parts such as "Post War Dream", "Not Now John" and "THe Fletcher Memorial Hom/Southhampton Dock". The rest I find dull. I can't give this a one star or a 3 star so I will settle in the middle as a 2 star effort. However, it was the last Floyd I bought. After the loss of Waters, Floyd got lackluster and my interest waned.
