 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 . We were all fighting like cats and dogs . We were finally realising – or accepting , if you like – that there was no band . It was really being thrust upon us that we were not a band and had not been in accord for a long time . Not since 1975 , when we made Wish You Were Here . Even then there were big disagreements about content and how to put the record together ... But making The Final Cut was misery . We didn 't work together at all . I had to do it more or less single @-@ handed , working with Michael Kamen , my co @-@ producer . That 's one of the few things that the ' boys ' and I agreed about . But no one else would do anything on it .
