Like all bands who have been around for a long time, they create masterpieces.
Unfortunately this is not one of them.
Actually i think this album may be floyds worst production.
Although it does have some great songs, it stinks.

a personal memory on this one: I was doing a school trip in Sacramento, California in 1989. We were saying a few days with local hosts. And the daughter of the family was driving me and a schoolmate to some places and she would play this record super-loud in the car  . I thought it was cool, and that the American do like Pink Floyd a lot.

Sounds like my Dream girl. 
Was she cute?

And this is totally great. Just really different then anything else ever done, really. The only that compares is Roger Waters first solo album - The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking which may even be better.

This IS the first Roger Waters solo album. He just got the rest of Pink Floyd to play on it. Except for Richard Wright.

Yes, I remember she was 
But that record, with its big quiet/loud contrasts was not really appropriate for listening in a car. With the volume so loud, we could hear the quiet parts well, but then the loud parts were like thunderclaps inside that little car...

This is one of my least fave Floyd albums. I find it preachy, too political, self-indulgent and Roger Water's megalomaniac ego was in overdrive. I mean it still has flashes of brilliance and dark ironic humour on it. But, despite being a big Pink Floyd fan, The Final Cut is fairly low down on my list of favourite Floyd albums.
Still even at their worst they are still better than some other artists at their best.

Quite underrated. It's easily better than anything PF released after Waters left the band. Overall I'd rank it 6th or 7th in their discography.
And no, lyrics are not the only strong point of this albums, since Waters also creates some beautiful melodies and sings his heart out on this records. The title track is incredible and probably among top 10 Pink Floyd songs.
