THE FINAL CUT

Originally the third disc of The Wall, Floyd's record company would not let them put out a triple album. So Waters & Co. spruced it up a bit, added the first "3-D" sounds ever recorded (if you've listened to it on headphones, you know what I'm talking about), and released it as a single album. And although it is best listened to as if it were in fact the third disc of The Wall, I believe it stands on its own as an exceptional album. Your Possible Pasts, One of the Few, Paranoid Eyes, The Fletcher Memorial Home, The Final Cut and Not Now John are as good as any of Floyd's previous "songs." I find myself listening to this one even more than The Wall, and indeed more than most Floyd albums except WYWH and Animals.
