1 out of 5 stars right group, wrong album.......2007-07-09

The CD came quickly and looked like new all wrapped up, but instead of "The Final Cut" it was "Amused to Death", which would not have been so bad if I didn't already have that CD. I will not deal with them again.

5 out of 5 stars Floyd at their best!!!.......2007-07-05

1983's follow up to "The Wall" was as we all know right after Rick Wright left the band, but did that affect the music? Absolutley not. "The Final Cut" was written entirely by Roger Waters and in my opinion, was Pink Floyd's last REAL album. Roger Waters was the sole songwriter in the band. He wrote all the lyrics for every album and almost all the music. Sure Pink Floyd did a great job performing his songs after he left the band, but "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason' doesn't have the same feel. "The Final Cut" and all of Roger's solo work does!!! If you are a fan of Floyd from anywhere between "A Saucerful of Secrets" to "The Wall" then you would probably like "The Final Cut" and all of Roger's following solo work more than any Floyd from "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" on.

1 out of 5 stars Taking the band down with him..........2007-06-28

Upon listening to some of these samples, I realize now how embarassingly introverted and unrewarding this album always was. While The Wall ultimately succeeded in projecting the narcissism of the jaded rock and roller into a phantasmagoria of paranoid self-delusion, here the listener is forced to identify with Roger Waters' intimate and outlandish self pity and absurd free association of ideas (Jesus was crucified, and guilty me, I watched too much TV...) whispered in carefully phrased pseudo-ironic fashion over dull funereal orchestral moanings... While the title cut recalls Comfortably Numb musically, its dramatic recollection (invention?) of a near-suicide by Waters comes accross less as an inspired moment than as a cynical attempt to force the listener once and for all to identify wholly the classic Pink Floyd sound with his navel-gazing or else...

5 out of 5 stars Under Your Skin.......2007-06-22

Some Pink Floyd albums grab you immediately, because the hooks are right and the melody catchy, but then get boring after too many listens. A little too safe, simple. The Final Cut is just the opposite. You don't think you'll like it, because no "hit" stands out the first time around. The closest you'll get, the punchy "Not Now John," only appears when the album is almost over. But the sounds on the slower pieces are just too interesting to ignore, especially the way Waters' vocals grate harmonically against the melodies. Try a clip from "Possible Pasts," for example: It starts with Waters singing over a sweet organ sound, then switches to a more muscular riff, but both times his voice strains against the music enough to make a complex tone that remains interesting after many listens. "Hero's Return" and "Fletcher Memorial Home" are also great vehicles for Waters' bitterness. The album gets under your skin. This remastered version includes a song from the movie THE WALL as well: "When the Tigers Broke Free." It fits with the overall theme of the CD.

3 out of 5 stars Not terrible, but not deserving of the band's name.......2007-06-21

I bought this when it came out and was very disappointed. Maybe he should have slept on it for a few years. The right people playing the wrong thing. There are better ways to put across this emotion and this was ill conceived.

The last release from the Roger Waters-led incarnation of the band, The Final Cut is easily the most darkly provocative entry in the entire Pink Floyd catalog. Many fans and critics tend to think of it as a Roger Waters solo album, though it certainly hangs together much better than The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking or Radio K.A.O.S.. Others view it as a sequel to The Wall--and indeed, The Final Cut tackles many of the same issues (the futility of war, the innate powerlessness of the individual in modern society), albeit with twice the bile and intensity. The anger that fires songs like "The Hero's Return" and "Not Now John" is certainly legitimate, and Michael Kamen's orchestral arrangements are absolutely stunning, but the entire listening experience can be pretty draining. On the other hand, if you found The Wall to be too soft or commercial, The Final Cut is definitely the record for you. --Dan Epstein

1 out of 5 stars Depressing.......2006-03-16

I'm an avid fan of all of Pink Floyd's albums - but I can honestly say that I cannot stand this one.

Yes the music is nice - it is a nice piece of work, and I certinaly can't deny that Roger was a fantastic songwriter and musician - but it is, quite literally, a solo piece of work by Roger, with the rest of the members from Pink Floyd being backing instruments mainly, and I think that is an insult to the Pink Floyd name.

Pink Floyd are a BAND. They are suppoed to write together (or as much together as they can stand of each other), play together, sing together and whatnot. If Roger Waters wanted to produce a solo piece of music on his own, then that would have been fine, but to do it under the Pink Floyd name... I do believe it is an insult. If the whole of Pink Floyd were more engaged in the album (and the four members had been in the band) then it wouldn't be half as bad.

This album was also certinaly different from the others, with the opening lines being, "Jesus Jesus what's it all about..." It's just not Pink Floyd at all. And a whole album based on the War?

Classic examples of Pink Floyd's Greatest Songs would be "Animals" and "Dark Side of the Moon." - I wouldn't recommend this one to a new, curious Pink Floydian.

5 out of 5 stars The Final Cut - Easily one of the best!.......2006-03-04

The Final Cut, is, in my opinion, one of the best Pink Floyd albums ever, with or without Roger Waters, including Waters' solo albums. The Wall, of course, is an all time classic, this album rates right up there along with that album though. Songs such as: The Post War Dream, The Hero's Return, The Final Cut... well, actually, the entire album just plain is the best! I never tire of listening to it.

As for the critics who say Waters was a tyrant, the whole band wasn't present on the album, ect.... none of that matters. What matters on this album, and Every album that matters, is this... does it move you? In a positive way? I would have to say yes, it does. Easily in my top ten list of all time, of which Floyd has three spots.... The Wall, The Final Cut, and Dark Side Of The Moon.

5 out of 5 stars Roger Waters' dark goodbye to Pink Floyd .......2005-11-29

Pink Floyd's The Final Cut was released in April of 1983. The album was the first Pink Floyd album of new material since 1979's The Wall.
The Final Cut album was mainly the work of Roger Waters(bass player/vocals) with muted contribution from drummer Nick Mason and guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour. Keyboardist Rick Wright was kicked out the band during The Wall sessions. The Final Cut was supposed to be the soundtrack to The Wall movie but instead, The Final Cut presents a gloomy vivid portrait of a morally crumbling post-WWII/Falklands War era England.
The album is fixated on the second World War and what the personal and societal sacrifices of that conflict meant to Great Britain in 1982/1983.
"What have we done to England?/Should we shout, should we scream/'What happened to the post war dream?'" lyricist, Roger Waters asks on the opening The Post War Dream. Throughout the album, Mr. Waters (whom lost his father in World War II) explores that inquiry. Your Possible Pasts are taking shots at Thatcher and Reagan. The main character in this album is the teacher from The Wall whom was disappointed in the generation they preserved (One of the Few and The Hero's Return), trying to keep a fellow serviceman's dream alive(The Gunner's Dream), pursued by ghosts (Paranoid Eyes).
Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert is great and is followed by my favorite song on the album The Fletcher Memorial Home which depicts Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan as overgrown infants and tyrants. Southampton Dock was about Thatcher waving goodbye to the men. The title cut is a great song too. Not Now John is a superb rocker and the only Gilmour vocal on the record(him and Roger fought like mad and David took his name off the credits but still got paid to produce the album. The haunting Two Suns in the Sunset closes the album. Andy Newmark plays drums on this track as Nick was forced out as well.
By the time The Final Cut was finished, Pink Floyd broke up.
The album was nevertheless another Top 10 album for the band in the US hitting #6 and selling 2 million in the US but was a flop compared to its predecessor. I was one of those who bought this album on tape the year it came out and have gone through countless copies of this album, especially the various remasters of this album).
Nevertheless, it is highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars The very best of Roger Waters.......2005-10-05

This is a deep and moving album. After listening to it for over 10 years, it still evokes a deep emotional response in me. I love Roger Waters and his solo work, but this album marks the high point of his musical career. A must have for Roger Waters fans, not so much for Pink Floyd fans.

5 out of 5 stars to all you waters naysayers..........2005-08-14

Are you people mentally challenged? I love every one of Floyd's albums, but this album makes clear on who was the creative force driving the early Floyd albums; Waters. Gilmore is an excellent musician, but Waters had the skill for masterpieces. The Final Cut is Another Brick in my Pink Floy Wall.

Sadly, I did not hear this album until recently. I thought I had heard all the Pink Floyd there was, but I was sadly mistaken. This is the most underated Floyd albums that ever existed.

I am only 26 yrs old, therefore, I did not "grow up" with Floyd. But, to all you Waters naysayers, I say open up your eyes, your ears and your mind. It is blatently clear who was the creative force behind "The Wall", and it wasn't Gilmore. If you think you are a "diehard" Floyd fan, but don't own this album, then you are not and you must do 1 of 2 things; stop being a Floyd fan (cuz your not) or add this album to your Floyd collection.

5 out of 5 stars Floyd's swan song with Roger Waters gets Japanese LP treatment.......2006-03-24

Pink Floyd's The Final Cut was originally released in April of 1983.
The album was the first Pink Floyd album of new material since 1979's 23 million plus seller The Wall.
The album was mainly the work of Roger Waters(bass player/vocals) with muted contribution from drummer Nick Mason and guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour. Keyboardist Rick Wright was kicked out the band during The Wall sessions by Waters.
The Final Cut was supposed to be the soundtrack to The Wall movie but instead became a gloomy vivid portrait of a morally crumbling post-WWII/Falklands War era England. The album is fixated on the second World War and what the personal and societal sacrifices of that conflict meant to Great Britain in 1982/1983.
"What have we done to England?/Should we shout, should we scream/'What happened to the post war dream?'" lyricist Roger Waters asks on the opening The Post War Dream. Throughout the album, Roger(whom had lost his father in World War II) explores that inquiry. Your Possible Pasts are taking shots at then UK and US leaders Thatcher and the late Ronald Reagan, which dates this song slightly. The main character in this album is the teacher from The Wall whom was disappointed in the generation they preserved (One of the Few and The Hero's Return), trying to keep a fellow serviceman's dream alive(The Gunner's Dream which is one of the album's best tracks), pursued by ghosts (Paranoid Eyes).
Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert is great and kicks off the album's second half and is followed by my favorite song on the album The Fletcher Memorial Home which depicted Thatcher and Reagan as overgrown infants and tyrants. Southampton Dock was about Thatcher waving goodbye to the men and not about wives waving their husbands goodbye to go to war. The title cut is a great song too and always one of my favorite PF tracks. The rock radio smash Not Now John is next and is a superb rocker and was the only Gilmour vocal on the record(him and Roger fought like mad and David took his name off the credits but still got paid to produce the album). The haunting Two Suns in the Sunset closed the album. Session Andy Newmark plays drums on this track as Nick was forced out as well.
By the time this album was finished, Pink Floyd broke up.
The album was a #1 album in the UK but in the US, The Final Cut hit #6 and sold a modest 2 million in the US but was a flop compared to its predecessor The Wall.
In May of 2004, The Final Cut was reissued/rereleased with a slightly amended tracklisting now featuring When the Tigers Broke Free, which was originally recorded for The Wall Movie and intended to go on The Final Cut but was left off as they felt the song was out of place on the original album. Ironically, the song works very well throughout the context of the album. At first, it was very strange for me hearing this track after One of the Few because the clocks faded and then bang into The Hero's Return on the original Columbia/CBS issue. Now, with Tigers in tow, this is the true version of The Final Cut as it should have been.
The sound quality on this Capitol/EMI reissue buries the original Sony remaster from 1997 and James Guthrie(one of three co-producers on the original album) painstakingly remastered this album with much better sound.
In fact, Toshiba-EMI released a mini-LP version of the album and had all of the original artwork as on the record right down to the picture labels.
This expanded version of The Final Cut is highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars The only new song is "When The Tigers Broke Free".......2004-09-15

From what I can understand, the difference is the addition of the song "When The Tigers Broke Free" that was used in "The Wall" film. This song is about the death of Roger Waters father in WWII. It's suppose to be different from the version from "Echoes."
From the "Brain Damage" website: "The reason of this reprint is because the album is now on the EMI label worldwide. Until now, Sony Music owned the rights for North America, Japan, etc... and EMI wanted a new version to celebrate the return to its catalogue. The main change, in this version, is represented by the addition of "When The Tigers Broke Free". As you know, Tigers was recorded for The Wall film. It was originally destined for The Final Cut album, but at the end it was discharged, it was too much linked to Roger.

EMI suggested inserting this song on the reprint of TFC, and both Roger and the band approved it. A copy of the album was done, placing "Tigers" into the sequence in four different points to find the best place. Finally the copy was sent to Roger and he decided. We then did a new mix of the song, starting from 16-track tapes of the film soundtrack (a different mix from the "Echoes" one) and we inserted it into the sequence using a cross-fading effect. The other mixes are the originals.

We mastered all starting from original analogue tapes, using a special machine built by Tim de Paravicini. It used a valve EQ (by Tim too), linked to a "Gold Series" A/D converter from Dan Lavry Engineering. The album was compiled in SADiE. This version of The Final Cut has the best sound it ever has had on CD..."
The link: http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/general/feb04news.html

This is my favorite PF album. I loved the way Roger sang on it. I will buy this version when I get some money. I hope this helps.

4 out of 5 stars Replica LP format??.......2004-09-09

Good album. I like it better than R.Water's next solo project, but it is not as memorable as some of the early Floyd albums. The imagery of the lyrics is good, and invokes several of the themes from The Wall.

I'm curious if this particular Import is in the replica LP format or not. Can someone please confirm. thanks.

Honestly!
I will be getting some more of his Cd's next as I really admire this artist. My favorite is his "Reservation Blues; The Soundtrack" -I listen to that CD almost every day! On this CD his best work is a song he obviously wrote about his long time ever growing love for his wife. The passion is so evident within his voice, but also the amount of work that seems to flow into the song. None of that seems to exsist within the rest of this CD however. Theres an emptyness or soulessness to most of it and a kinda teasing quality because this man is SO gifted and guided yet hasn't seem to have found his personal style yet.
The work he did with Sherman Alexie is profound on so many levels but I strongly feel Jim Boyd has his own genuis and can stand totally alone and rise to great heights, but this CD did't hit it, this time. For me Jim Boyd is the best of the Native American voices in music right now, maybe ever, but I feel perhaps he needs to understand more his own inner voice before he can express the one waiting to be heard and sang thu him and the one the world is waiting to hear...really, yearning to hear.
Theres a song he wrote for Sherman on this CD also, But I would want Jim to know that Sherman lyrics were nothing compared to Jims voice and ablity to translate them into sound.
The arrangements and skill in the instrumentation are fantasic but with those really lame lyrics and some of the lack of passion in most of it it falls quite flat overall.

Director John Ottman (listed in Daily Variety as one of 50 people to watch back in 1997) also composed the soundtrack for this horror thriller about a student at Alpine University who, while finishing her thesis film on urban legends, suffers the loss of her crew members to fatal "accidents" that are too deliberate for comfort. Ottman (The Cable Guy, The Usual Suspects) employs the Munich Symphony Orchestra for much of the score, and his brief but insightful liner notes do a good job of explaining the use of simple motifs to reflect character and tone. It's a sense of déjà vu all over again. The addition of a choir to the instrumental passages ("Disturbing Dailies") adds an air of menace to the proceedings. While the addition of three tracks (two written by arranger and conductor Damon Intrabartolo and featuring a guitar-bass-drums attack) sets things slightly askew, Ottman's scary intentions are never thwarted in the process. --Rob O'Connor

Tha soundtrack is okay, however I would advise you to borrow it off a friend if you can as it is not THAT perfect. PS Does anyone know the title and artist of the song which Reese, the officer, was dancing along to in the office?

3 out of 5 stars Song in background of bar..........2001-03-05

The song in the background (if this is the one you're looking for) is "The Dolphin's Cry" by Live. Hope this is the one you want. It took us a while to find it!!

4 out of 5 stars Song???.......2001-02-26

Does anyone know what song was playing in the backround when Trevor was talking to that girl in the club??

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2000-11-12

I have a new perspective on Mr.Ottman now. The music makes me think of Marco Beltrami(Scream). John Ottman did a fantasic job with this. Very errie score.BUT IT.

4 out of 5 stars The Best Soundtrack Yet!!.......2000-10-04

When i bought this C.D i thought to myself as it was on it's way, "will it be any good?" I'm a massive fan of horror movies and their soundtracks so i thought i might as well buy it. When it arrived i was so surprised!! It is not just your typical slasher soundtrack it has a meaning, which is something compared to recent failures such as Scream 3 soundtrack, I Still Know... soundtrack. I advise everyone who enjoyed the movie to buy the album. It rocks!!

Listening to this cd, watch the film...enjoy it then when doing something like tidying your room, slap it on. You'll find-and i can guarentee this-that during a certain song reprisal, you'll stop and tears will come to your eyes and you'll wish you were a child again. That song is of course 'You Can Fly', it makes my cry, escpecially what happened to Bobby Driscoll.

5 out of 5 stars You Can Fly!.......2002-10-23

As a lover of Peter Pan, this CD was a wonderful addition to my collection. The songs are just wonderufl, and the instrumental music is great to hear when you've seen the movie, or even when you haven't! For anyone who is still yearning to let out their inner child, this is the CD for you!

5 out of 5 stars Simply magical.......2002-10-11

Watch the movie and then buy this CD. You'll know what I mean.
It is good for the health to be young at heart.

5 out of 5 stars Tyler's best score to date! .......2004-10-16

This is a beautiful dramatic score with jazzy elements such as piano solos and lounge singers. Plus there is the mysterious and wonderful main themes that appear in the score several times. This work is a good sign that Brian is moving away from scoring sci-fi and horror towards serious drama. Get this CD you won't regret it.

    4 out of 5 stars Mid 90s Industrial Gem.......2004-03-07

    This is the original edition of Final Cut's Atonement. It was released on the legendary Fifth Colvmn Records in 1996 and rereleased as Atonement v2.0 on Slipdisc Records in 1998 after Fifth Colvmn met its untimely demise in the face of the first wave of massive recording industry corporate consolidations.
    Atonement is one of the must haves in any extended Industral collection and is worth a listen for any fan of Chemlab, Sister Machine Gun, KMFDM, Diatribe, Acumen Nation, etc, etc. This is not an extremely Heavy album but it does contain crunching guitars and dark electronica that signify the true masters during the renaissance of Industral Rock.
