Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (1 Viewer)

[ekbeats]

Has their ever been a more beautiful rock album ever produced?  I was first introduced to this masterpiece while living in London in 1988, and 33 years later it still hits me just as hard.  The lyrics, the melodies, the story lines... simply brilliant.

Massive PF fan.  This album swings for me.  There have been times I love it and times I don’t so much and I’d rather listen to Animals or WYWH.

With or without “When the Tigers Broke Free”?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Huge Pink Floyd fan, but most of this album is a snore-a-thon for me.  Feels like a bunch of leftovers from The Wall (which is totally awesome). 

 

[Foosball God]

I'm a big Floyd guy as well, and that album never caught me either.

 

[Todem]

Never grabbed me at all. And I am a huge Floyd fan.

Wanna get blown away...watch David Gilmour Live at Pompeii 2016. Entire show is mesmerizing. But his solo on "Comfortably Numb" is the best solo I've ever seen and heard. The old man shreds, and I shed tears the first time I watched and heard it.

I love The Final Cut but I think it had more to do with its timing when it was released than anything else. I was 18, just out of high school and my parents moved to Texas and I stayed in NY at my first apartment. Just one of those albums that struck a chord at the time with so many emotions about my new life.

It's still near the top of Floyd albums for me.

The Final Cut is a lyrics-first album rather than a music-first album.  It's sonically beautiful.  The production is amazing, but the tunes are just not quite there musically.  There are some great Gilmour solos, but the tunes are secondary to the lyrics.  It's a Waters album for the most part.

I massively love Floyd.  But this album doesn’t cut it lyrically.  First it should have been a waters solo album.  Second it feels like leftovers from stuff that didn’t make the other albums. 

 

[E-Z Glider]

Huge PF fan. Love it from beginning to end. 2nd only to The Wall for me. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

It's not an album, it's a therapy session. I can't listen to it at all. 

 

[Otis]

Huge PF fan. Guess I need to try this again because it always felt like the leftovers from the real albums. 

 

[Kiddnets]

Big PF fan - Final Cut falls after the big 4 - IMO solid but not elite.  Def Wall leftover vibes

1.  DSOM

2.  Wall

3.  Wish u were here

4. Animals

5.  Final Cut

I just never got into PF. I've tried but really just not a fan of their music. Their 3-4 big hits are fine, but nothing about them grabs me at all.
