The Final Cut is the twelfth studio album by the English progressive rock group Pink Floyd, first released on 21 March 1983 by Harvest Records in the UK. It was the band's last studio album to include founding member Roger Waters, who received sole credit for writing and composition. It is also the only Pink Floyd album to which keyboardist Richard Wright did not contribute. Waters originally planned The Final Cut as a soundtrack album for the 1982 film Pink Floyd – The Wall, but with the onset of the Falklands War, he rewrote it as a concept album and dedicated it to his father, who died during the Second World War. Waters sang most of the lyrics and designed the packaging to reflect the album's anti-war theme. The Final Cut was recorded from July to December 1982 in eight British studios, but the album's production was dominated by interpersonal conflict, and Waters left the band in 1985. Although it reached the top of the UK Albums Chart, the album received mixed reviews. (Full article...)
