Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

I honestly think it's my duty as a decent person (I consider myself a decent person) to convince everyone here who doesn't have this album to run out and get it right now.
It is beautiful.
No, I don't think I can convince anyone to run out and buy it. But if there are any Pink Floyd fans who haven't gotten it because of the conspiracy involved in keeping it relatively under-the-rader, then you probably should. It's their best album.
Is there anyone else like me who hasn't been fooled by this--the greatest conspiracy in all of music history?

haha one of my friends is all about this album. i dont know if its their best work, but it is definitely their most underrated album by far.
I wouldn't say it's the most underrated album of all time. But it's without a doubt the most underrated by a band that's already as recognized as Pink Floyd.
The re-release with When the Tigers Broke Free is especially wonderful. That song is on Echoes and I know there are probably a lot of people who have Echoes but don't have The Final Cut. If you like that song you'll love the final cut. Imagine WTTBF x13.
i didnt say it was the most underrated album of all time. i said it is their most underrated album, which i feel it is. i have the final cut and i do think its great. i dont think Echoes was a good compilation, on the other hand. it is missing a lot of key tracks.
haha its all good, no worries.
gets to me every time
Personally, I prefer Animals.
I can definitely see the similarities between The Wall and The Final Cut, though I see The Final Cut as having more feeling, consistancy, focus, and better lyrics. It doesn't have the big hits, but a lot of great albums are like that. It's not just a collection of songs. It's what Pink Floyd did best.
No.
No. No. No. No. No.
If any of you are going to get The Final Cut, do yourself a favor and find a version without WTTBF on it. That's how the album was meant to be heard. I've loved WTTBF since the first time I heard it, but it does NOT belong on the TFC album; it is decidedly a part of The Wall narrative. Yes, it was originally released as the lead single, but that was when TFC was still going to be a collection of Wall-era outtakes (of which WTTBF was one)/Wall movie versions of songs and not the thematic album it turned out to be.
If you want to hear WTTBF, just get Echoes. It belongs more on there than it does The Final Cut.
It's okay. I like Not Now John and Fletcher Memorial Home a lot and there are a couple other good songs. it's more of a Waters' solo album than anything though.

branch out and get Obscured by Clouds or Saucerful of Secrets before you worry about Final Cut

Absolutely love this album! Granted it is pretty much all Roger Waters and it's the only Pink Floyd album that Rick Wright doesn't play on at all, but I have a deep connection to this album from my teenage years (along with The Wall and Wish You Were Here).
Check out the short film if you haven't seen it before. Pretty good stuff.

So complex and yet Water's voice sounds so innocent whilst weaving the album's many threads. This was the album that made me love Pink Floyd. I had heard their major hits on the radio, but when I heard this in particular, that was the day I fell in love. The song I heard that made me love it was "Your Possible Pasts." By the time Waters sang the first chorus, I was hooked.
I saw Roger Waters at Coachella, and he did a few songs from it....was very cool!
The Final Cut is interesting and enjoyable.
is that exactly what I thought I read?"
How I choose to feel,...Is how I am.
....not really a fan though, just wanted to contribute.
Anyhow, I would suggest Animals, Obscured by clouds, atom heart mother, meddle and a saucerful of secrets as much more under-rated than Final cut.
As for pre solo waters solo albums I much prefer Music From the Body, at least the Waters parts, although Final Cut is a Rememberence Day classic.
Not Now John is another underrated gem; cut from the cloth of Nile Song and Young Lust
