MARK'S NOTCAST Ep 388 : Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut" 1982-1983. 10 June 2024.


Described as "The Final Straw" by David Gilmour, the final album that Roger Waters made with Pink Floyd in 1982-1983, is subtitled "A Requiem For The Post-War Dream" and is about as cheery as it sounds. A dense 12 song concept album about war, politics, and the failure of idealism to defeat  conflict and oppression, it's made of songs that didn't fit "The Wall", extra songs designed to stitch the spare parts together, underpinned against the backdrop of the Falklands War. Propositioned as a solo LP, with the band disintegrating, it's a powerful, but joyless album that painted the band into a corner. 10 June 2024.
