Above all, I find that The Final Cut flows very well as an album. The
sonic detail in and arund the songs, and the way the bits link together
make for a whole much greater than the sum of its parts. I don't think
I'd rate any single track on the album as a four-star tune, but taken
together, it's a **** album.

Why is The Final Cut so disliked?
I find it to be the last fully listenable Floyd album (AMLOR and Division Bell not really holding their own, though the concept for the latter was fairly interesting).
Agreed its not exactly a progressive masterpiece, but the album has its finer moments, and if nothing else it has feel. I find songs like Paranoid Eyes and Poles Apart (The Final Cut and The Fletcher Memorial too for that matter) really emotional.

Well, you must admit that Hey You and Comfortably numb are good songs  However, they don't make up for the rest of the album that just plainly sucks.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn-3.5 stars -has some great songs such as astronomy domine, intersteller overdrive, and bike, songs like pow r toc h drag it down.
A Saucerful of Secrets-3 stars -similar to piper with good songs like let there be more light, a saucerful of secrets, and jugband blues but rick wright's tunes dont do much for me.
More-3.5 - their first completely non syd album. Some great moments but some klunkers also.
Ummagumma-2 - hmm what a mixed bag. Sysyphus is great but dont even get me started on Grand viziers and several small furry ect.
Atom Heart Mother- 4 - a huge step from their previous output. The title track stands among their best tunes. With uneven moments on the second side it isnt as good as it could have been.
Meddle-4.5 - Such a damn good album. Crisp sound and a big step from Atom Heart Mother. Echoes is so floating yet dense at the same time.
Obscured by Clouds- 4 - While not as good as Meddle, Obscured by Clouds has some very good instrumentals. This is their bluesy and folky album.
Dark Side of the Moon-5 - This is my second favorite floyd album. Crystal clear with great guitar and flow. A very cohesive and concise album.
Wish You Were Here-5 - Their true masterpiece with the theme absence. Their best song is on this album.
Animals-4 - This is good but can drag in some parts. However Gilmour truely shines in this album.
The Wall-4 - This is the beginning of the end for the Great Pink Floyd. This is a great album though with good sound quality and good songs. I am afraid there is some filler in one though.
The Final Cut - 2.5 - This is not a good album and is pretty embarressing in some parts. Everything is a piano ballad so if you hear one song you hear them all. Only three songs I wouldn't call filler.
A Momentary Lapse - 1 - urp There is few moments on this album.
The Division Bell -2.5 - good improvement over their previous output. But the good moments are too few and thinly spread.

Oooh, I want to play! Unfortunately I don't have the entire studio back catalogue but for what it's worth, here is how I would rate the records I do have:
Meddle - 8/10 (Can I please resize Echoes to half of its length...? And while I am at it, get rid of Seamus? Having said that, One of These Days is truly great.)
Obscured by Clouds- 8½/10 (An unassuming, charming record, with songs that flow well together. It's not all that ambitious perhaps but I still get more out of it than Meddle.)
Dark Side of the Moon- 9½/10 (I know it's hard to believe but I was a whopping 32 years of age before I heard this record for the first time -or even anything from it! I was of course aware of its existence and its significance in music history but it just never crossed my path in my childhood or my teens...not even on the radio, at least not to the extenct that I would have any memories or recollections of the music. And the funny thing is, I always had the impression that DSOTM was a 'strange' album, with 'difficult' music, probably because of the theme of the concept and the way people in the media talked about it. Well, when I finally heard it last year, I was slightly disappointed; it wasn't strange at all! lol Still, I quickly grew to love it and I will only reduce half a point due to the disruption of the flow of the record with Money and the overlong sequence of On the Run. Other than that, perfect.)
Wish You Were Here- 10/10 (This record was my introduction to the band, apart from Another Brick in the Wall part II, which I heard from time to time as a teenager. It was instant love and that love has not diminished one bit in these two years that I have had the pleasure to own it. The first time I listened to WYWH, I sat put on my sofa, as if frozen. I *knew* that I had bought something truly special. It really was something of a milestone in my relation and approach to music in general.)
Animals- 9+/10 (Its bleakeness is what makes it such a powerful and engaging listening experience. By now Pink Floyd had become masters at putting across a certain mood and run with it. It took me awhile to get into this record but now I enjoy it from start to finish...well, apart for some overly streched bits in Dogs. )
The Wall- 9/10 (Right, another PF blockbuster which I had not heard until...two months ago! In some respects I actually count myself lucky as I have never had the possibility to play it to death, lol. I certainly played it a lot in the first three weeks since getting it and found it instantly accessible. Incidentally, the day after I bought it, I witnessed the reunion of the band at Live 8. Absolutely perfect timing. The Wall is a great blend of pure songs and musical ideas that help to hold the piece together. Ach, if only I had had this album in my teens, I would certainly have loved it even then... But as I said, at least I will never grow tired of it now. As an adult one learns to "pace" one's listening habits a bit better! )
The Division Bell- 7/10 (So I bought it because I wanted to get a taste for the more recent Floyd stuff... And even though I can see how it tries to emulate the structure of WYWH in some ways and go back to that classic PF sound without really pulling it off, I can still enjoy bits of it here and there. Let's just say that it is one the (many) records I am prone to put on whenever my ears need a rest from pure, stellar prog. Ideal background music, really )
