8/10

Love the concept and the way the tracks are all set in real time. Instrumentally it gives a lot of the same vibes as Pink Floyd's stuff at the time. Really cool album. I need to explore more of Waters' solo stuff.

6/10

Kelpo levy mut ei tää Pink Floydia ole.

4/10

Roger Waters is one of the few men who's become more attractive as he's aged. Unfortunately his music seems to have gotten worse.

6/10

Probably the (former) member of Pink Floyd's solo work I'd want to listen to the least, but I'll stay open minded. And I did. It was better in the back half, but it does feel like a repeat of The Wall, albeit with an entirely different story. It just feels like you're listening to a condensed version of a better album, and that album cover really makes the whole package feel like it was only finally finished to pull in some extra revenue for Waters before he dipped from Pink Floyd forever. It's a decent package, but I'd honestly rather spend my time with another Syd Barrett work, or that weirdo Nick Mason album with Robert Wyatt on lead vocals. Oh yeahhhhhh, that's the stuff.

6/10

Favorite songs: 5:01AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Pt. 10), 4:47AM (Sexual Revolution), 4:50AM (Go Fishing), 5:06AM (Every Strangers Eyes)

Least favorite songs: 4:56AM (For the First Time Today, Pt. 1)

cool concept roger, but I'm not a concept albums kinda guy.

4/10

I usually like Waters & Pink Floyd, but this is off-the-charts Boomer Midlife Crisis art

6/10

Enjoyed this, maybe not as much as the classic pink Floyd album, but certainly earns its place on the list.

4/10

op, you thirsty fuck

6/10

The most prog record ever recorded. Interesting, rather than vital, but plenty of good songs well sung.

8/10

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.
