We can't say anything better than this. So nice to see you back Crystal.

THE most underrated album in the Pink Floyd catalog. This is basically The Wall Pt. 2… and is a vital follow up to that masterpiece. Despite all the band consternation and the critical blowback of the time, this is one of Pink Floyd’s best albums.
I totally agree! there are so many wonderful songs on this agua and it deserves to be praised and not dismissed as it is! 💛 I hope you are having a remarkable day and that you enjoy our newest video: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=-Dkhz2VVmgbN6nJO
@@CrystalShannon4 Ah! "SMiLE" is one of my all-time favorite albums... (Available as "The SMiLE Sessions"... or as "Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE"... Brian Wilson at the peak of his powers. Unfortunately, the ability to get that album across the line fell short... and "Smiley Smile" was the result... it was not the hoped for album... but still worth checking out for the remains of that great album that would take decades to see the light of day. Cheers!
Brilliant album, absolutely love it. The lyrics to the song The Final Cut just cuts through your sole.
Crystal Shannon totally loved your reaction. Your analysis of each song was brilliant.
You are too kind and wonderful 💜 thank you my friend!!!!
No thank you, truly.
If you enjoyed Final Cut you might also want to check out Roger Waters' solo albums e.g. Amused To Death
Amused To Death is by far the best of his solo work.
@@ianfortier6796ohhh i’ll be totally excited to check that out! 💛 thank you! I hope you enjoy today’s newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=-Dkhz2VVmgbN6nJO
Amazing album
@@ianfortier6796 truth ☺️
My favorite Pink Floyd album. . . And your breakdown is incredibly insightful.
Atmosphere and emotion. Underrated but masterful. Unless one is above a certain age in Britain (in 1983) it can be hard to wrap one’s head around the theme. I LOVE the machine noises punctuating the rhythm in “Not Now, John”.
So true! & so perfectly put! 💜 I hope you are doing magnificently Rydell!
The first track is "Get Your Filthy Hands off my "Desert" ... as in sand and cacti. Not dessert as an apple pie. 😏 He's referencing the neverending wars in the Middle East.
yikes!!!! makes way more sense and changes everything! someone already pointed that out and it made me realize that perhaps going around without glasses or contacts might not be the right move for me! hahaha anyways, thank you! 💛 I hope you are having an incredible day and that you enjoy our newest video! ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=-Dkhz2VVmgbN6nJO

I don't know what it is, but whatever room I'm in suddenly gets flooded with tears whenever I listen to The Final Cut. Hope it's not just a 'me' thing. :P
Thank you for sharing your journey through this album with us!
The Wall and the Final Cut are really sad, not only for the lyrical themes but because they marked the end of the Pink Floyd era as a cohesive group.
Love that you’ve given a less well known Floyd album a proper go. 💙 respect x
Band politics aside, this album is a masterpiece, all of them at their absolute peak
The lovely UA-cam algorithm has led me to your channel. TFC is a bit of a strange album in that it was basically a solo project released under the band's name, yet the members of PF who performed made such a difference - only Gilmour could have got the tone exactly right for the solos on Fletcher Memorial Home and Final Cut. Props to Michael Kamen for the piano and the orchestration, and the sax solo in Gunner's Dream is by none other than Raphael Ravenscroft - he of Baker Street fame. That little motif you mention is also from Comfortably Numb. Loved hearing your thoughts on this, and it's not only inspired me to go and listen to the album again (it's not a PF album I listen to regularly), but I'm now off to binge watch a load of your videos.
That motif in The Final Cut sends me back to the Comfortably Numb chorus. I know much of this album was written during the Wall time and this was a lot of extra/leftover themes and songs.
The first song is "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert" (not dessert); meaning a place, not a treat to eat. This is one of my two favorite Pink Floyd albums.
omg wait that makes so much more sense 🙈 I totally need to get more contacts! thank you my friend!
A masterpiece by Roger
I like your reactions, Crystal. And you're such a doll! I have a suggestion, if you haven't yet experienced it- 'An American Prayer', by Jim Morrison. Your energy will absorb this album like a sponge- it's so hypnotic!
Thank you so very much Kent! I appreciate you! 💛 and thank you for the suggestion! I hope you enjoy today’s new clip: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=D20yaqGBAPuCOJKy
How about that chorus on "Not now John"?? First time I heard that song My eyes did get a little bigger........
Also pretty much the only song Gilmore got to sing and the way he and Rodger were not getting along you can almost feel the anger and emotion in Gilmore's voice!!
Also if you're curious there is an actual official video to that song and it's pretty well done of course 😊
Last comment regarding two suns in the sunset? Of course one of the sons is a nuclear explosion bringing on the end!!
Woah!!!!! that’s crazy to know the insight behind the fire-y passionate delivery! Thank you my friend and very sad about two suns 😔
I hope you are having an amazing day and that you enjoy our newest video: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=yFb4iqv9Sl62yre5
I recommend A Saucerful of Secrets. It’s an earlier album and it’s really great!
More Pink Floyd please🙂❤
Hey there my friend! 🤍 I have good news! We’ve got a fresh new Pink Floyd just for you today! I hope you enjoy: ua-cam.com/video/lpTWkg-wGNo/v-deo.htmlsi=QolaZ4-hotFIpi4t
PS - I think it's a cool little addition to the video that you wear the rock t-shirt of the band that you are covering. i see you girl. keep up the good work. best wishes.
💛💛💛💛 thank you so very much my friend!
This is a very personal album for Roger. It’s like a sobering epilogue of his time in Pink Floyd. It also set the template for most of his solo work, including the overall tone of his recent reworking of Dark Side of the Moon.
I wish “The Fletcher Memorial Home” actually existed.
But that’s also a fantastic Waters vocal.
@@rydelldownward7808I agree with you completely! 💛💛 I hope your day is astounding and that you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=yFb4iqv9Sl62yre5
Crystal! So cool you came back around to this. Love Pink Floyd.
Another progressive rock band I think you would like is Genesis. Their early stuff with Peter Gabriel is more prog rock than the later stuff they did with Phil Collins, but both eras are great.
There’s a song they did called “Entangled” which I know you’re going to love. One of their most haunting songs.
Pink Floyd is such an amazing band. They have this very atmospheric sound that always seemed twinged with sadness especially after Syd Barrett left the group. It makes you feel like you’re being transported and floating through a musical instrument. Like being able to travel through a Leslie speaker.
It’s amazing. They’re amazing. You’re amazing. 🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!!! I totally agree with you 10000000900% 💜 I love the unique sound that has that sadness infused in! 💜 Thank you for the recommendations Jeff!!!! Sending love your way! 💜
Jeff!!!! We went on a totally wild ride today with a brand new reaction to The Beach Boys! I hope you enjoy 💛 ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=IqV0bh1ug_jaEnxc
So stoked to see this album getting a 'proper' reaction. I've listened to it so many times it isn't funny. I've always been a fan of the Roger Waters-era Floyd as he brought more of a punch to the material and sound. This is a highly underrated album and always so satisfying to listen to. Roger Waters solo album 'Amused to Death' is also very much worth checking out.
Another great analysis, Crystal! I always loved this album, though it felt more like a Roger Waters album. I highly recommend Roger Waters' album The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (which he did with Eric Clapton. I saw them both do the album live) and his incredible album from 2017, Is This the Life We Really Want, which brought back the old Pink Floyd sound.
Thank you from the very depths of my soul Jerry! 🩷🩷🩷🩷 you are certainly the most spectacular! 🩷 and just off that title, i’m intrigued by that album already!
Hey there dearest Jerry! ❤️ Sending you my love and had you in my mind! ❣️ I hope 2024 is treating you well so far! I hope you enjoy our second video back in action: ua-cam.com/video/0ohyYCp0WCM/v-deo.htmlsi=Uj19gWophNyW9Hk5

Also maybe listen to Roger waters solo album ; Radio kaos. Thank you for a great reaction to one of my favorite bands, that also include The Alan Parsons Project. As you might know, Alan Parsons was the engineer on The dark side of the moon.
tremendous reaction as we've grown to expect...but your thank you song at the end was off the hook..so yeah thank your for that...carry on
Thank you so very much Richard! 💛 I hope you have had the most incredible weekend and that you enjoy our new reaction video out tomorrow! (it’s a really cool one ! )

Hi Crystal, very cool. I'm looking forward to checking out this new video. you know me as an online friend but you don't know it lol this is another sn. best wishes. God Bless!
Hey there! 💛 thank you so much for riding the Pink Floyd train with me!
I'll be honest - sure, there's some good work on this record, but not once have I ever been able to regard it as a "Pink Floyd" album. It's one of Roger Water's best solo albums.
I remember when this record was still on pre-order! Everyone had high hopes after the previous 4 albums. There was a lot of disappointment among fans. But if you compare it to Roger's "Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking", Final Cut is the better record. Thank you for the reaction Crystal. - G
thank you so much my friend! I can imagine that the success of the previous 4 albums could built such high expectations! 💛💛💛💛 I still enjoyed this one thoroughly but I could see how it could be a let down with the absence of Richard’s magical touch! 💛✨ I hope you are having a beautiful day and that you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=xG0j9njjBl9FxG2k
Nice one again, Crystal. The end of an era in the Pink Floyd catalog here as founding member Roger Waters left after this.
Yes!!!! A bit sad but absolutely beautiful!!!! 🩵 Thank you so very much Ed! I hope you are having the most wonderful day!

Hi
Whatever version she's listening to sounds very different than the mix I'm used to. Did they remaster this at some point? The vocal sound a lot louder than usual.
Sounds about normal to me bu sometimes with the skips you cant tell. But nothing seemed to odd from what I heard.
Such a beautiful album, band politics aside, they were all at their absolute peak
Personally I think The Final Cut is a masterpiece
You need to listen to Waters solo albums
thanks for that suggestion my friend 💛 I hope you are having a delightful day and that you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=xG0j9njjBl9FxG2k
@@CrystalShannon4 I will definitely do that
You enjoyed 'The Final Cut' so much that I can't recommend the album that follows this one: 'The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking' by Roger Waters ✔
Amused to Death, of solo carreira of Roger Waters ia just a great abum.
Hi Crystal, imho this album suffers from too much Roger. Additionally, without Richard, sonically this doesn't have the right atmosphere. Lyrics are great as usual. The final cut doesn't make the cut for me as a Pink Floyd album. BTW, what happened to the 2nd side of The Division Bell? Am I missing it somewhere? Thx! 🙂
Hello my awesome friend! 💛💛💛 you are spot on that Richard’s absence is highly felt and presence is dearly missing! I hope you are having a beautiful day and that you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=yFb4iqv9Sl62yre5
This is considered to be Roger Waters' first solo album but as a member of the band, he still had all the studio resources of Floyd at his disposal. Waters lyrics in conjuction with the musical talent of the rest of the band gave Floyd their overall vibe, a vibe lacking in mich of Pink Floyd's post Waters era. It is also lacking in his post Floyd era. Much of the Final Cut is more political because in the 80s, Waters became an activist.
After he left Floyd, the band's future work leaned toward platitudes and feelings.
It was a good album but it was not really a good Floyd album.
Supertramp
Crisis what crisis
Still waiting.....
I loved Pink Floyd but to me this album was more of a Roger Waters solo album with some help from Dave and Nick. Richard couldn't help because Roger fired him during The Wall, so for me? Disappointed.
I can totally see how that would have a grace impact on the album! 💛 I hope you are doing amazingly well & that you enjoy our newest reaction: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=yFb4iqv9Sl62yre5
Not Now John is the only song I like on this album. Had to skip out on this one Crystal.
ahhh so sorry about that :( I hope you were able to hang around for a bit during the reaction of that one alone! 💛💛 I hope you are having an astonishing day and that we have better luck with today’s vid: ua-cam.com/video/dziS_xucISs/v-deo.htmlsi=yFb4iqv9Sl62yre5
@@CrystalShannon4 I clicked into the video for that song. Btw, I'm not familiar with the Fairly Oddparents, so I can't help with that question. I'm not a big fan of Smiley Smile either. I have it on a CD where it's paired with Wild Honey, the album following Smiley Smile. The only song I like on Smiley Smile is Good Vibrations. Maybe I'll click into that video to hear that part. I haven't listened to Smiley Smile a lot. Maybe I'll listen to the whole video. 🙂
WAY too much talking 😢
