Project on The Final Cut - Opinions needed!
Hi everyone! I'm writing my final paper for my college english class on The Final Cut. My topic is basically how the album's artistic value (or lack thereof) has been ignored, with critics focusing on the turmoil within PF at that time.

Part of my assignment is to include what fans have to say about the album's musical quality and lyrical content, so here I am! I've searched through past threads and found a few discussions but I figured I'd post something anyway.

Do you guys think The Final Cut deserves more recognition as a piece of art or are you willing to just dismiss it as a Waters solo work? I'd really appreciate any thoughts you have on the album!

Thanks!

Honestly? I hate it. I've heard it, I heard no Pink Floyd in it, I have no plans on hearing it again. I'm sure that'll bother someone, but they can get over it. I gave it a chance rather than outright dismissing it, and I found that my original ideas about it were not unfounded. I didn't find anything redeeming in it, I found not even one glimmer or shard of what Pink Floyd used to be contained anywhere within.


It is IMO, the worst album they ever did. Worse than Atom Heart Mother, which even David hates.

The Final Cut is my favorite Album by PF. (Im a huge Roger fan but respect the other members equally.) The Final Cut is a masterpiece Waters seamlessly weaves messages of his father's death, and his own turmoil due to it with the horror's of war.

In fact its the only PF album that gives me chills whenever I listen to it.(Not Now John, and The Tigers Broke Free)

awesome choice on a final paperrocker

that said, The Final Cut is fuc king epic anyway you slice it. Gilmour's solo on Fletcher Memorial Home and on The Final Cut are two of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard.
