throw the best/worthwhile parts together and the 1-album version of this might be a soft 4

This is better than wywh, dsotm, and animals in some respects. None of those were nearly as dark as this and thus more
superficial in a way, but when you listen to their music after hearing the wall, all their other albums sound darker and more
significant. (like, if you heard wish you were here without the title track you could almost mistake it for an up beat album, but
with the wall in the discography it sounds darker cus you get Roger waters gloomier background in mind even as David
Gilmoure sings.

The Final Cut is infinitely darker than this and also way better. To suggest that WYWH, DSOTM and Animals are superficial is absolutely ridiculous, if anything this is their most superficial album because of the ridiculous concept and unnecessary padding.

What Rowan said.

This has got nothing on Animals, WYWH or Dark Side. To suggest this is better (even in some respects) is crazy.

Also how 'dark' an album is generally has very little relation to its quality.

Yeah those three albums (and, to be honest, most Floyd albums) are leagues ahead of this. To me, suggesting that those albums are more superficial than this is blasphemy.

And yeah darkness isn't necessarily an indicator of quality but in the case of an album like the Final Cut how dark it is is essential

^Exactly, for an album's darkness to become a positive factor it has to be presented and conveyed in an effective and powerful way, as it is on The Final Cut. The mere fact that an album is 'dark' alone has no relevance to how good it is, it's how that 'darkness' is used that matters.

And this album is hardly dark anyway, maybe in subject matter but it's presented in such an overblown and superfluous way with that stupid concept.

It doesn't get more overblown than this. There are some throwaway tracks, moments of ridiculous stage show antics but as an entire work it is greater than the sum of its parts and is a classic.

Might be at least somewhere close to a classic if Gilmour and Wright had sung it rather than Waters

Mostly bad vox from Waters, agreed.
