Excellent addition, I always enjoy the 80s Waters sound and the weird shit it does.

Very interesting concept. It's definitely one while story, a unity of songs.

This sounded a lot like Pink Floyd to me. Makes sense, since this was his first attempt after leaving the band. I quite like Pink Floyd, so this was a warm bath.

Obviously, very Pink Floydish in sound and execution. But somehow it lacks the urgency of what Rogers was able to create together with Pink Floyd. This album definitely has it's moments (the title track can easily compete with late-era Floyd) but there's just too many so-so tracks that have a tendency to drift off into mediocrity.

6/10. Hmm. I really like the idea of this album. And the title track. But the rest of it is a bit more hit-or-miss, and it's just unnerving when there are little snippets that are shared with The Wall—like that one song that sounded like Mother, and the other one that sounded like One of My Turns, and then every once in a while I'll jump in the middle of a song because it sounds like In the Flesh just came on… I just feel like this album lacks its own identity a bit because of that. Also if I could hear what the fuck Roger Waters was saying half the time it would help a lot, but the main vocals are mixed kinda low.

Probably would've made a better final album with Pink Floyd than the "The Final Cut," which was more of a personal thing for Roger Waters anyway.

It’s Pink Floyd except I’m less interested. Interested in that alBUM cover though am I right

I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan but I definitely lean toward David Gilmour and the whole ambient direction that they go in in the 80s (and beyond!). This album sounds like a rejected version of the wall. The bum on the cover is quite nice.
