Animals and The Wall were excellent albums, even though Waters wrote and sang most of the songs, there was still some band effort in them.
The Final Cut though was pretty much just Roger Waters, replacing Richard Wright with a symphony orchestra was a bloated idea, and David Gilmour didn't write a single song, not even a co-writing credit. Aside from the predictably good Gilmour guitar solos, there was no band effort at all.
This is what was written on the back cover.
"The Final Cut: A Requiem for the Post-War Dream
by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd."
That was pretty much the red flag of their demise.
