From "Wikipedia":

The Final Cut is a concept album written by Roger Waters and performed by Pink Floyd. It was recorded across eight studios in the UK from July to December 1982. The album was released in March 1983 by Harvest Records in the UK, and several weeks later by Columbia Records in the US.

The album is the last of the band's releases to feature bassist, main vocalist and primary composer Waters, and is the only Pink Floyd album on which he is credited for the writing and composition of every song. Keyboardist Richard Wright was not featured on the album, as he had left the band during the recording of their previous album, The Wall. Most of the lyrics are sung by Waters; David Gilmour provides vocals for only one of the album's 12 tracks.

The recording of The Final Cut was affected by tension between Waters and his band mates, particularly David Gilmour, who has since expressed his dislike for much of the album. It has sometimes been regarded as a Waters solo album, and none of the album's songs have ever been performed in concert by the band—although some have been performed by Waters during solo tours.
