	Pink Floyd - The Final Cut : album review
		Some albums are timeless, and some are so steeped in their decade that in a hundred years' time you would be able to pinpoint exactly when they were recorded.
		The Final Cut - first released in 1983 - is in the latter category.
		The Final Cut was a collection of songs written by Waters for The Wall but rejected by the band.

	PINK FLOYD Final Cut, The reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The story behind The Final Cut is well documented: Waters was becoming ever more the control freak with each album, and after the huge success of 1979’s ‘The Wall,’ moved on to produce this follow-up album almost independently, despite the efforts of David Gilmour and Nick Mason to contribute their experience and skills.
		Finally arriving penultimately is ‘Not Now John,’ the only co-written song on the album and a definite departure from the style, though not one that is as impressive as it could have been.
		Fans of The Final Cut praise Waters’ genius in linking World War II and other conflicts of the past with conflicts of the then-present, namely the Falklands, and the cyclical nature of history means that at least the album will have this in its favour for it for a while.

	Final Cut by Pink Floyd (lyrics & reviews)
		Pink Floyd's The Final Cut was released in April of 1983.
		The Final Cut was supposed to be the soundtrack to The Wall movie but nstead, The Final Cut presents a gloomy vivid portrait of a morally crumbling post-WWII/Falklands War era England.
		this album came to me at a particularly ugly time in my life, and the cold, downtrodden nature of songs like "the gunner's dream" and "your possible pasts" hit home for me; not necessarily in subject but in the general feeling with which it is injected.

	Discography - The Final Cut
		In fact, The Final Cut is subtitled “A requiem for the post war dream by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd.” One doesn’t have to read too far between those lines to see where the group was heading.
		During The Final Cut sessions Waters held David Gilmour’s feet to the fire by threatening to scrap the project unless Gilmour relinquished co-producing the effort.
		In fact, before The Final Cut even hit the store shelves, Gilmour and Waters were already well into their next projects: Gilmour working on his About Face album, and Waters plugging away at The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, the concept Pink Floyd rejected in favor of The Wall in 1978.

	Pink Floyd: The Final Cut - PopMatters Music Review
		One of the odd things about The Final Cut is that, while the psychedelic rock scene had direct ties to the anti-war movement of the late '60s, Pink Floyd's career up to The Wall was more concerned with both mental and interstellar travel, and hardly falls under the rubric of protest music.
		With The Final Cut, Waters gave his father his own story, making him the reference point for the struggles of families who cope with the loss of husbands and fathers to war, while using his father's memory to rail against the pervasive jingoism of the early '80s.
		But the final two Floyd albums that followed (sans Waters, plus Wright), the critically undervalued but solid rock discs A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, proved that the Pink Floyd of yore was the sum of its band parts, and not the singular (and often inflexible) vision of Roger Waters.

	#PFCO Discography - Final Cut Trivia and Quotes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Final Cut album is dedicated to Roger Water's father, Eric Fletcher Waters 1913-1944, who died at Anzio in 1944.
		This album was only the second record ever to feature Holophonics, a recording technique created by Hugo Zuccarelli through which quadrophonic sound could be simulated on stereo equipment by encoding into the recording process the dimensions of the human skull.
		When the album was released in the spring of 1983 it was very different from what had been predicted.

	Progressive Ears Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The band was pretty much at each others throats and by the time they did this album it was pretty much Waters on his own to record and write.
		For me, I never tried this album until I was sick of most of the 70's albums from the band.
		I swear 3/4ths of this album is nothing more than three chords, G C and D! Yet here, I could not ask for more, it all works.

	The Daily Vault Album Reviews : The Final Cut
		The majority of the album consists of either minimalist arrangements or lush orchestrations provided by the full London Philharmonic conducted by the legendary Michael Kaman.
		The Final Cut is a somber affair; completely devoid of any bright moments and with no groove whatsoever to be found -- without question, the most radio-unfriendly album of their career.
		It also incorporates elements of The Wall that were left out of the album for one reason or another, mainly the excellent song "When The Tigers Broke Free," which was sadly cut from The Wall but appears in the film version, and was included in the re-mastered reissue of The Final Cut.

	The Final Cut (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The album cover states: "A Requiem for the Post War Dream by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd" - it was solely written by Waters and is the last Floyd album with him on board.
		The Final Cut is also the only Pink Floyd album on which Richard Wright does not appear, as he was fired during composition of The Wall.
		The final is a story of a depressed man (who might be Pink after he tore down the wall) who either tries to block himself to the real world or kill himself, but is stopped.

		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.
		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.

	Rolling Stone : The Final Cut : Review
		Thus, on The Final Cut, a child's inability to accept the loss of the father he never knew has become the grown man's refusal to accept the death politics that decimate each succeeding generation and threaten ever more clearly with each passing year to ultimately extinguish us all.
		The album is dedicated to the memory of the long-lost Eric Fletcher Waters, and in one of its most memorable moments, his now-middle-aged son bitterly envisions a "Fletcher Memorial Home for incurable tyrants and kings," one and all welcome, be they pompous butchers in comic-opera uniforms or smug statesmen in expensive suits.
		He plans to record a solo album for his next project, and one hopes that just the novelty of becoming a full-fledged human will be enough to keep him profitably occupied for many years to come.

	Filmtracks: The Final Cut (Brian Tyler)
		The Final Cut: (Brian Tyler) In yet another film which attempts to merge introspective drama with a touch of science fiction, Omar Naim's The Final Cut deals with the premise that people of the future will have an memory chip implanted in themselves that will observe every waking moment of their life.
		Despite a few crescendos that lead cues in The Final Cut to false conclusions, the mass of the score is cyclical and minimalistic by nature.
		Tyler composed two source songs for the film which appear on the album --one a lounge piece and the other a heavy metal one-- and neither of these cues is particularly interesting.

		The album was a #1 album in the UK but in the US, The Final Cut hit #6 and sold a modest 2 million in the US but was a flop compared to its predecessor.
		In May of 2004, The Final Cut was reissued/rereleased with a slightly amended tracklisting featuring When the Tigers Broke Free, which was originally recorded for The Wall Movie and intended to go on The Final Cut but was left off as they felt the song was out of place.
		History would show that 'The Final Cut was Rogers last studio album with the Pink Floyd, his announced quitting of the band in 1985 did not surprise those close to the band or journalists who had witnessed close at hand the defragmenting of the band over the last 10 years.

		But although "The Final Cut" is ultimately a Roger Waters solo album with the Pink Floyd banner, it is still poignant and emotional, lyrically poetic and musically balanced, absence of Gilmour's solos or Mason's rhythms aside.
		The Final Cut album was mainly the work of Roger Waters(bass player/vocals) with muted contribution from drummer Nick Mason and guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour.
		The Final Cut was supposed to be the soundtrack to The Wall movie but instead, The Final Cut presents a gloomy vivid portrait of a morally crumbling post-WWII/Falklands War era England.

	Review of The Final Cut
		This is the album that convinced Roger that he could do just fine without the rest of the guys (erroneously), and created the ultimate split.
		I'll allow Roger the need to give a final "good-bye" to his father by trashing everyone who ever helped create a war, but it was virtually criminal to let so many other resources go to waste (i.e.
		the hero's return changes the mood of the album to a much more interesting tempo, and seems to be the teacher's response to the preceding song.

	Pink Floyd : The Final Cut - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The Final Cut extends the autobiography of The Wall, concentrating on Roger Waters' pain when his father died in World War II.
		The even bent of the arrangements, where the music is used as texture, not music, means that The Final Cut purposely alienates all but the dedicated listener.
		That doesn't make this easier to embrace, of course, and it's damn near impenetrable in many respects, but with its anger, emphasis on lyrics, and sonic textures, it's clear that it's the album that Waters intended it to be.

		The last release from the Roger Waters-led incarnation of the band, The Final Cut is easily the most darkly provocative entry in the entire Pink Floyd catalog.
		To me its like the screw up album that most bands end up having, i guess it all depends whta u like really, i got it cuz i luv floyd, but if it wuznt, i wuldnt uf.
		But it is not a psychadelic album as were the ones prior.

	Classic Rock Album Review
		They had a lot of good albums but there were what I call "The Great Four".
		Those four albums were: Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall.
		That was also going to be the last Floyd album but after the breakup, the other three members got back together without Roger Waters.

		The Final Cut was released in 1983, and was written entirely by Roger Waters.
		Although Roger Waters did write the entire album, and Richard Wright was not present for it, I think it is a genuine Floyd album.
		It is, on many levels, a personal album for Roger, as it is dedicated to Eric Fletcher Waters, his father.

		"When the Tigers Broke Free" was included in the 1982 film "Pink Floyd The Wall," though it did not appear on "The Wall" album three years earlier.
		It was issued as a single in '82, along with "Bring the Boys Back Home," and was intended for a soundtrack of the film, which never reached fruition.
		Plans to include the song on "The Final Cut" album were also changed before the original album was released in 1983.

		It was a fun, well-crafted flick, with apt directing, beautiful editing, and chilling scoring all coming from the same person: John Ottman.
		And two so-called "mystery themes" are played in "moments of suspicion", the liner notes tell us, delivering tonality and consonance before and after sequences of experimental slasher flick atonality.
		John Ottman's Urban Legends: Final Cut is certainly not for everyone.
