THE FINAL CUT

I'm putting this one on the same level as "the wall"...an enjoyable record that suffers from its concept. It is more heartfelt and touching than the previous effort, but you cannot tell this is a group effort...in fact it is not. The mixing is somewhat strange with OVERPOWERED guitars but it gives a nice effect. Very depressive and personal...but pretentious and too much self-aware. Still a good spin...not a happy one that is but enjoyable nonetheless.
