A Few Diamonds In The Rough.......2007-03-07

Some of my all-time favorite guitar solos (Comfortably Numb, Another Brick II, and Mother) are to be found here, as well as one of my favorite songs, the aforementioned Comfortably Numb. But the percentage of good, 'listenable', music on this large collection is quite low in my opinion. In other words, this isn't an album that you can put on and listen to all the way through if you're in the mood for pure music. Whereas previous albums would feature long, somewhat ethereal musical interludes between, and within, songs, here we have a few good songs tied together by relatively short, strange snippets of lyrics masquerading as songs, mostly sung by Roger Waters, who is simply not in the same league as David Gilmour as a vocalist. In fact, all the best songs here are predominantly sung by Gilmour.

The story being told here is OK, but Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals, all accomplished similar goals with much more subletly and far fewer words. The music did most of the talking and that's what made them great albums.

Any fan of Pink Floyd should have this album in their collection. There are some classic songs here, but it is certainly not one of their best works taken as a whole.

ANOTHER GREAT FLOYD ALBUM.......2007-02-27

The Wall is another excellent album. It contains great songs like Another Brick In The Wall and Young Lust. Comfortably Numb makes me cry...
Get this with Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon.

Not Up To The Floyd's Usual Standards.......2007-02-18

It's amazing to see the raves for "The Wall" from what I am going to assume are a group of pretty serious Floyd fans. Simply put
, this album, while better (perhaps, although not certainly) than most of the contemporaneous pop product, is not up to the FLoyd's usual standards, either from a lyrical, or a musical, perspective.

Early on, Syd Barrett set the bar particularly high with stuff like Astronomy Domine (see a chord chart for this song; it uses progressive tonality, a technique more normally found in late nineteenth-century classical music, i.e. Carl Nielsen or Gustav Mahler). But Floyd's first outings w/ Dave Gilmour more than fulfilled the early promise of Barrett's pen. "Atom Heart Mother," and either of the film soundtracks "More" and "Obscured By Clouds" are strong, stronger certainly than "The Wall."

Floyd finally struck gold with "Meddle." The perfect balance was struck between exploratory musical stylings and knife-sharp lyrics. The quasi-symphonic titan "Echoes" is counterbalanced by the creepy musings on madness of "Fearless." Indeed, Waters' self-obsessed navel-gazing is kept in check by Gilmour and Wright's lush guitars and keyboards.

In the final analysis, Floyd's creativity waned through successive efforts (a small rebound with the masterful "Animals") until finally reaching its nadir with "The Final Cut."

Waters, recognizing this, left the band and declared it "artistically dead." The pronouncement was a bit cynical, given that Waters himself had held the band's head under the water of his own paranoiac vision for its final four albums.

Roger and Syds life put to music.......2007-01-31

In the Flesh is the best song here, it always get to me, the hairs on the back of my neck just stand up when that intro comes in loud. But It's pointless to name the strengths here, it must be played in it's entirety and LOUD!

Mind Blowing.......2007-01-23

'The Wall' is one of Pink Floyd's darker albums however it is still completely unmissable. With two discs that offer 26 songs it is immense by Floyd standards and gives us some of their more commercially successful songs.

'The Happiest Days of our Lives' and 'Another Brick in the Wall' sets out the angry, detached mood that is present in much of the album. As well as these, haunting tunes such as 'Hey You' and 'Is There Anybody Out There' give the image of a lone voice crying in the wilderness, an image that one may frequently envisage throughout this album.

Nick Mason said in his biography of the band that Roger Waters presented 'The Wall' to the rest of the band members as an almost finished project. This is very much evident in the dark beauty of the album that was always a hallmark of Waters' work. It is doubtless that 'The Wall' is up there with 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Wish You Were Here' at the top end of the Pink Floyd spectrum.
