Album Notes Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Roger Waters (vocals, bass guitar); Nick Mason (drums).Additional personnel: Raphael Ravenscroft (tenor saxophone); Michael Kamen (piano); Andy Bown (Hammond b-3 organ); Andy Newmark (drums); Ray Cooper (percussion); The National Philharmonic Orchestra.Recording information: 07/1982 - 12/1982.This is not a pretty album. Described as "a requiem for the post-war drama," it is Pink Floyd at their most miserable. In addition to the somber lyrics and themes explored by Roger Waters, it was recorded while the band were so fragmented, they had effectively broken up. Gilmour and Waters' feud has been well documented and this could well have been titled THE FINAL STRAW. The only hint of lightness and humour throughout is in "Not Now John," but only in the shape of irony ("Can't stop lose job mind gone silicon"). Not an album to be played at parties or anniversaries.

Reviews Brought me back to my old days and a great trip down memory lane. The Final Cut did not get very good reviews, but to me it is on parr with The Wall (though not as long!). Loved it... love it! Review ID: 10000000006585714 Was this review helpful? Report this review 0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is an overlooked classic which is now starting to get some recognition 20-odd years after release. Review ID: 10000000002541382 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 01/09/06 by: 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. A meloncholic masterpiece of political opinions and military outrage and grief. Not an album that I can listen to often as it is just to heavy to digest, although one for the collection and if you are feeling tired or fed up anyway.....
