The Post War Dream - 2011 Remastered Version

The album was dedicated to Roger Waters' father, Eric Fletcher Waters, who died in WW2 at the battle of the Anzio bridge.

Anzio was a beach on the coast of Italy stormed mainly by the British (thus the lyric "The Anzio beachhead was held at the price of a few hundred ornery lives."). "Maggie" is Margaret Thatcher, who was the prime minister when the song was written (Winston Churchill was PM of England in WW2). "Tell me true, tell me why was Jesus crucified" was just Waters searching for some justification for his father being taken from him (also see "Was it you? Was it me? Did I watch too much TV?").

Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright was not on this album. He was kicked out of the band by Waters right before the release of The Wall. Many people say The Final Cut is a Roger Waters solo album. The lyrics in this album are depressing and serious, which shows you how angry Waters was at the time.
