THE FINAL CUT

For such an amazing record I am surprised at little reconition it gets, being the "sequel'' to The Wall, a commercial success. The album in total is verry soft and relaxing, this is ironic of course because the concept and lyrics are fierce and full of emotion. The concept works in itsself, I cannot fully see how it would be able to fit into the wall, the wall only touches the subject of Pink's father and the war, but focuses more on Pink himself and his tragic flaws. the beginning tracks of the album have a really millitary sound, sort of an imperial tone to it,(lots of snare and brass). Although the keyboard/organs are excellent I noticed later that Richard Wright is not credited for the album...I'll have to start a post on that. A recomendation to any fans of concept albums or The Wall, it does carry the same 'feel'.
