It actually s#cks much better than a Hoover.  Anybody who rates this album with 5 stars either needs serious consultation with a Psychologist, or consider it a soundtrack album to an imaginary movie called "Suicidal Tendencies".  The Final Cut is the worst album by anybody at any time.  It is dreary, drab, gloomy, depressing, morose, creatively desolate (to say the least), which are the best compliments I can think of.  It is made up mostly of throw away tracks not included on The Wall - legitimate since its imaginative, insightful value is right up there with flushing a loaded toilet.  It wasn't Pink Floyd, it was Roger Waters, who had assumed control of the band in the joyous method of coup d'etat.  It was a painfully obvious love affair with Ego.  Is there a better way to sell one's personal creation (even if it's musical sludge) than with the name Pink Floyd on it?  Would anybody have rated this album 5 stars if it was by an unknown band called "Chucker and the Upchuckers"?  At the time, if I were with Pink Floyd, I would have presented Mr. Waters with 2 options: either take a very long walk on a short pier, or go to the nearest highway, turn left, and never come back.
