IF THE FINAL CUT HAS A MILLION FANS, I AM ONE OF THEM. IF THE FINAL CUT HAS FIVE FANS, I AM ONE OF THEM. IF THE FINAL CUT HAS ONE FAN, I AM THAT FAN. IF THE FINAL CUT HAS NO FANS, I'M NO LONGER ALIVE.

You either die the hero or live long enough to recognize this as one of pink floyd’s best albums

Underrated, while it has some weak tracks like Paranoid Eyes and Southampton Dock (The live version of Southampton fixes that) it still has some of Waters' best and most passionate performances, specially on Post War Dream, Gunner's Dream and the title track, sad that it has the honor of being the lesser Waters era album, while its not on the level of the classics it still deserves recognition

50% manchild sap 50% severe daddy issues but also some legit good tunes (I mean, these types of harmonies are just pleasing to the ear even if your high art hipster brain represses it, and if you wanna be an f slur like that why are you even listening to PF in the first place, just to shit on it?) and the production is sweet, almost cinematic dynamics, and I guess old habits die hard so I keep coming back to it anyway. still better than a momentary lapse of reason and atom heart lol.

This one has always been my favorite album of theirs by far. I was shocked to find out it wasn't well received

Funny to see that many people commenting actually like the album as most critics seem to loath it. I loved when it came out and still do. In my teenhood, I liked WYWH because everybody did, but I loved "The Wall" when it came out. Great lyrics, even greater music. And TFC was an adequate follow up. Musically not that great, but still very nice. And the lyrics were even better. I agree, that Roger Waters still had things to say and he did. It's a pitty working on it led to the brakeup of PF. TFC is often reffered to as a Waters album but for me it was the last PF album. The PF feel was absent from most of the stuff that followed.

Far better than anything else Roger did in the 80's (perhaps except the haunting "Towers of Faith"). It has resonance in today's world stage, just as much as it did in 1983.

I’ve listened to this album a fair amount — one of my most-scrobbled from during my antsy teen years — and it’s not bad, but Roger using PF as an outlet for his daddy issues yet again is the continuation of his totalitarianism in the band that developed during The Wall and ruined the ability of Roger and David to work together, preventing any tracks that made PF an epic band being made during this period. Looking back, while there are several songs that have their moments, many are just... cringy.

I have tremendous respect and reverence for Michael Kamen’s abilities as a composer for the many movies he scored and the jaunts in the pop/rock world that saw him work with Waters and Gilmour even into the 90’s. His work on this album included. But with that all said it is but merely a fraction to nothing on what Rick brought to the albums up to Wish You Were Here.

I never understood why this album is considered to be one of the band's weakest efforts. It has some of the most powerful lyrics Roger Waters has ever written and some of David Gimour's best guitar solos on songs like "The Final Cut", "Your Possible Pasts" and "The Fletcher Memorial Home". Seriously this album is a masterpiece. My second favourite after The Wall.

People calling this album, "repetitive," and, "boring," can you do me a favour and fuck off please.

Look, I get it. Roger Waters told us all on The Wall about how his dad died in WW2, so this album at first blush might sound like a four-years-later rehash of the same themes. In a way it is, but for me that means this is a companion piece to The Wall. It is the very next album, after all. Waters hasn't quite said everything he wants to say about his dad and the impact his absence made on him, but he also wants to expand a bit and make some contemporary political statements about Margaret Thatcher and the myth of the British Empire. This is a quality album, well worth any Floyd fan's time, and can hold its head up among Floyd's best albums.

I'm with you. I love The Wall and it's an absolute classic but the lyrics on here feel more focused and profound. Also, Roger's vocals on here are incredible, particularly on the title track, "The Fletcher Memorial Home" and "The Gunner's Dream". Like I mentioned earlier, he's really underrated as a vocalist. And of course "Not Now John" fucking rules.

I think the older I get the more I distance myself from "The Wall." I still like it and think it has some truly spectacular moments, but it doesn't appeal to me the same way it did when I was an angsty, slightly anti-social teenager. This album just seems like a much more mature work than "The Wall." I agree that this album contains Waters' best vocals, and Gilmour's solos (though few and far between) are incredible. Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this album.
