TFC is little more than a concise version of The Wall. Not that it's a bad record, it's more like "yeah I don't have time to listen to the Wall, so I guess I'll just pop in TFC"

They aren't the same songs exactly but are similar in flavor.

e.g. Not Now John vs Young Lust.

Title track vs Comfortably Numb (those Michael Kamen strings doing that descending arpeggio thing kinda emphasize the point)

It has the most awkward, unnatural transitions that had ever made it onto a Pink Floyd album at the time, and this is a band who had previously excelled in that area. Roger Waters had also forgotten how to write a solid melody and began slipping into spoken word in the middle of songs. He had also abandoned the one thing that he was really good at, that being writing simple, direct, hard-hitting lyrics, in favor of long-winded, wordy beat poetry that completely lacks the bite and punchiness that his lyrics exuded before this album. Even the best songs on the album are poorly written from an objective standpoint, the one and only exception being Not Now John. But you probably know all of this already.

>hello colonel, how are you tonight?

There was a time about six or seven years ago where it seemed like a lot of people had been effectively brainwashed into claiming that they like this album, but that naturally died out due to how objectively poor this album is. There will always be psychos who will continue to push the idea of this album being good, but it will never stick. It's a terrible album.

>>127116285
Is that even in reference to anything, or are you just trying to make it look like you have a retort?

>>127116327
>he didn't listen to The Final Cut
it's a spoken line from TFC

>>127116342
I've heard it many times and you're referencing nothing on that album.

>>127116355
oh god you really didn't listen to it, did you?

OK so go pop in Paranoid Eyes, it's right after the lyric "and if they try to break down your disguise with their questions" (about 30 seconds in).

>>127116380
It's barely audible and is buried in one of the worst songs on an already horrible album. You really tried to find the most cryptic reference possible.

>>127116450
cope harder

>>127116459
There's nothing to cope about. You're looking for cryptic references to make it seem like I haven't listened to this terrible album because you're incapable of defending it.

>>127116450
>barely audible
Floyd albums are meant to be listened to with headphones on, if you're paying attention it's easy to hear.

>one o fthe worst songs
disagree - it's one of the stronger cuts on the Cut, and Gilmie's solo is a highlight of the record.

>you tried to find the most cryptic reference
unironically it's the first thing I hear in my head when someone brings up TFC. Sorry this thing that's on the album seems obscure to you.

cope harder, darling

>>127116483
>you're incapable of defending it.
I'm not defending it, I'm just making a reference to it. I kinda like that little touch on the album, it's One of the Few* things I like about that record.

*didja get that reference or is that too obscure for you too?

>>127116516
It's a forgettable song.

>>127116525
Not too obscure. Forgettable is a more accurate description.

>>127116525
>it's One of the Few* things I like about that record.
Oh, you only like a few things about it? Well that's good, because it's largely trash.

One of their finest records, it's so underrated.

>>127116594
I already perfectly explained to you why it isn't and you're just pretending it didn't happen.

>>127116613
You haven't explained shit, your arguments wouldn't convince anyone, you huff your own farts.

>>127116630
I don't need to convince anyone, I just laid out its problems for you. People already know that this album is garbage.

>>127116257
This is very true both here in the Pros and Cons of hitchiking which is so self indulgent and opaque its almost unlistenable at times
Roger sort of regains that pink floyd simplicity in Amused to Death i feel
what god wants, three wishes, its a miracle and the title track are all amazing

>>127117175
here and in*

>>127117175
I disagree entirely. I find Amused to Death way more indulgent than Pros and Cons.
You've got tracks with three reprises, the gospel singer gimmick wrought to it's extreme, and so few melodies you'd think he was a rapper.

Pros and Cons at least has Sexual Revolution which I like to scream along to o
In the car while I think of my ex

>>127117175
Yeah, Amused to Death was a great return to form for Roger. I actually think it would have made a great follow-up to the Wall if Pink Floyd had taken some time off after that album. It definitely sounds more like a Pink Floyd album than the Final Cut or probably anything that Pink Floyd released after the Wall.

>>127116035 (OP)
frig off Roger

>>127116035 (OP)
You're right, but this is a board that thinks Animals is peak PF. We're down among the plebs here.

>>127122797
I bet you've listened to Animals way more than the Final Cut.

>>127116035 (OP)
