Roger Waters, interview by C Salewicz, 1987: “The Final Cut was absolutely misery to make, although I listened to it of late and I rather like a lot of it. But I don't like my singing on it. You can hear the mad tension running through it all. If you're trying to express something and being prevented from doing it because you're so uptight...It was a horrible time.”
There’s no denying Roger Waters’ prowess in the recording studio. As practical ringleader of Pink Floyd throughout it’s glory days of the 1970’s, he clearly displayed all the hallmarks of a great rock composer, and even proved to be a keen conceptualist, with his work on albums such as the eternally revered Dark Side of the Moon and 1977’s Animals still boasting themes and ideas relevant today. It was 1979’s The Wall though, that would begin the slow decline of the band members’ relationships, and which would see Waters’ eventual disbandment from the group. His ultimate departure would have to see through one more chapter though, and this is Waters’ last swansong - "The Final Cut."
Originally entitled ‘Spare Bricks’, it was intended to contain a collection of songs left over from The Wall, plus new material. It wasn’t long however, before Waters had nutted out a new concept, that of The Final Cut – A Requiem For The Post War Dream. This would still include off-cuts from The Wall, yet when incorporated in with the newer material, would create a brand new theme on it’s own; ideally, the album is a tribute to Waters’ father who died in the Second World War. This concept was explored on the previous album, yet never on an individual level - as opposed to the fictional characters on The Wall, this record was a personal account of Roger Waters' feelings and experiences about his father’s death.
The Final Cut is undeniably a momentous record in Pink Floyd’s history. It’s the last to feature Waters, and effectively ends an era that lasted more than a decade. Lazy people will liken it to The Wall, but there’s definitely more going on here than what first meets the ear. Sure, that familiar voice is still ever-present, and those same resentful lyrics ring tried and true. But given your full attention, and The Final Cut may just surprise even the most ardent Pink Floyd critic – provided they exchange a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears in return. Make no mistake; The Final Cut is unique...
