THE FINAL CUT

Dark,depressive and often ...helpless - last REAL Pink Floyd album. I remember ,how we waited for new PF album after The Wall was released , and how much we were disappointed by Final Cut. I think, the album isn't so bad, just we waited for something different.

The album sounds as some transition work between The Wall and Waters solo albums.In fact, you have there everything you are waiting from good PF album: melodic songs,guitar solos, perfect sound, Floydian atmosphere. The main difference is I think the music there is too dark,too slow and too depressive (even for Waters era PF).

Because of that all album sounds a bit bulky, not focused, or even heavy depressed. You can't help. No-one can help. It just like the end of the world. And the music is enough monotonious as well.

For me, this album is something in between of great PF albums ( WYWH,DSOTM,Animals) and Waters best solo albums. Strong 3,5.
