The Final Cut is the twelfth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released in March 1983. It is a concept album and serves as a critique of war, particularly the Falklands War. The album is characterized by its orchestral arrangements and poignant lyrics, largely written by Roger Waters. It is often noted for its melancholic tone and introspective themes, reflecting on loss, memory, and the human condition. While it received mixed reviews upon release, it has since been recognized as a significant work in Pink Floyd's discography, often viewed as a companion piece to The Wall.
