Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home
a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial home for incurable tyrants and kings
they could appear to themselves everyday
on closed-circuit TV
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel
did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
they can polish their medals, and sharpen their smiles,
and amuse themselves playing games for awhile.
boom-boom, bang-bang, lie down, you're dead.
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
it's their favorite toy
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial wasters of life and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied.
Damn, did you write that?
That's quite good as a poem, and you could probably build a kickass array of songs out of it as well.

I'm so disappointed it from THAT album.... maybe the music sucks because the focus is, misery the lyrics are trying to convey? My brain kinda focuses on the music vs the lyrics so the Final Cut is a very hard album to enjoy, but maybe there's more to it..
...it's not their most accessible album - it really demands immersive, focused listening to fully appreciate, and it takes several listens in the right frame of mind to really click - but once it clicks, it's their greatest album...
...are there better pink floyd albums?..arguably yes*, but there are no greater albums by pink floyd...
*(it's really a roger waters solo album with world-class session musicians)
Oh I know.... I honestly find the half of the Wall that sounds similar to the Final Cut very unpleasant too, I much prefer Atom Heart Mother or Meddle, but I'm not hearing the lyrics, just the music.
Wish you were here and Animals are amazing too. DSOTM is just simply its own beast.
