Not my favorite Floyd, but amazing still

Review Score: (8/10)
This was the last Roger Waters-controlled Pink Floyd album, and it's a great end for him. The lyrics are the best Pink Floyd lyrics since Animals, but musically, it's quite a bit like The Wall. Some of the songs travel far from The Wall, still, and are very different from other Floyd material. The lyrics are truly sad, but incredibly powerful, and we get to see what Waters thinks of war, and his father's death. It's a great anti-war album, and not many albums reach the meaning behind this one. Waters has great vocals, too, and his voice works perfectly for the sometimes angry, sometimes sad, and sometimes wise lyrics. It isn't as many Pink Floyd, but still great. Very different, and very brilliant. After this, Pink Floyd began to deteriate. After Waters, Floyd was no more... This is the last great P.F album, IMHO...

Recommended, but not as a very first for early Floyd fans.
