Highly underrated, this is one of PF finest albums and a fitting swan song for the Waters era.

Often noted for it being the throw away tracks from the Wall, I have found thi to be one of my favorite Floyd albums. It has it all: Concept (loose), sense of humor, biting lyrics, and unforgettable sound effects all woven together in a tapestry that flows with out pause from start to finish. This is more than the Wall part 2, but compliments the Wall perfectly, and brings the themes started there to a close and gives birth to some others, namely paranoia, suicide, and WW3 to name a few.

If you are a fan of the wall, I cannot see why you would not love this one just as much. I think most of the negativity towards it comes from the break-up that followed. This album is light years ahead of the "pop" bastardization seen on Momentary Lapse of Reason (which was just that). PF truly final album, Division Bell is more Gilmour oriented, with Blues influences being readily felt and interpersonal relationships being the centerpiece. Both "final" albums have there appeal, but the true PF ended for me right here, where someone had the nerve to make the final cut...
