The Wall

Ok, have never really listened to Pink Floyd before but have obviously heard of this album. And when you listen to it along with some of the other albums that make the 1001 list, there is no contest. This is great great stuff. Even with all 'filler' between songs, it doesn't feel forced or contrived. Such a nice flow to it. 4*

Klasyczny konceptowy albumers pinkowych floydow z czasow faszystowskich, po objeciu wladzy calkowitej przez Watersa, czystkach na najbardziej utalentowanych czlonkach przyszedl czas na stworzenie najbardziej sprzedanego kawalka winyla jaki banda wypuscila, a zeby bylo jeszce zabawniej koncept sciany i artysty budujacego owa sciane jest oparty na watkach autobiograficznych Watersa, bo poza hey you i run like hell, reszta jest autorstwa dyktatora, stworzyc konceptowy album skladajacy sie z dwoch czesci o lacznej dlugosci 80 minut same w sobie jest wyczynem, a zrobic to solowo jeszcze wiekszym, ale jak dla mnie to nie jest juz to samo granie jak na ciemnej stronie ksiezyca czy meddle, album jest zbyt zdominowany przez jedna osobowsc, a reszta dostaje tylko krotki chwile w ktorych moze zablysnac, jak solowka Gilmoura na comfortably numb czy w hey you, dziwne uczucie daje sluchanie pinkow bez klawiszy, wright juz wypuszczony z zespolu za posiadanie problemow rodzinnych utrudniajacych tworzenie materialu na plyte, do samosadow chyba nie doszlo, ale o pieniadze cala banda sie chyba sadzila, dodatkowo pojawiaja sie chorki, nie takie rokowe chorwiska, ale prawdziwe chory filcharmoniczne, album ma swoje haj lajty, ale nie jest to album ktory bym sobie puscil zeby posluchac od deski do deski, jak wiekszosc pinkowych krazkow z czasow przed dyktatorskich, na plejke wrzucam comfortably numb, vera oraz hey you

Fantastic!

Me gustan los motivos em diferentes canciones. Un clásico

Anhother brick in the wall

“The Wall” by Pink Floyd (1979) (Superlatives alert!) This concept album is a genre-defining progressive rock opera that became a classic immediately upon its release. It is an exquisite work of art, treating of the theme of individual introspection on a level with Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment”, St. Augustine’s “Confessions”, and the book of Job. Sublimely harnessing all aspects of production, “The Wall” excels in composition, musicianship, engineering, storytelling, and performance. But the album’s power lies in its symbolic exploration of the human psyche, summarized in its central metaphor—traumatic phenomena which are defensively reduced to symbolization as “bricks in the wall”—as the cumulative antisocial and life denying effect of anesthesia, denial, and isolation. While the dramatic vehicle (autobiographical reminiscences of a ‘fictional’ rock star) can be fairly criticized as self indulgent, pretentious, overblown, and narcissistic, “The Wall” shares these features with other introspective works of art. Can one imagine trying to fully understand the works of Van Gogh without a progressive series of his self portraits? In order to come to grips with the human condition, the artist must look inside. And others might be put off by what the artist sees. But does the artist see with clarity? Does the artist see what might also be seen within the viewer/listener? Does the artist see the good, the true, and the beautiful? In “The Wall”, this vision becomes vivid. And it leads to redemption, if only in the discovery of the safe haven of stasis. We are richer, healthier, and more integrated as a result of joining Pink Floyd on the journey. Rock music as art doesn’t get any better than this. Music as art doesn’t get any better than this. Art doesn’t get any better than this. 5/5

Es bueno, pero Pink Floyd tiene mejores y más imprescindibles.

is there anybody out there... hey you... uno de mis favoritos

A masterpiece out of its time. It is great and complex, but time and more music helped me to understand it.

excellent and very easy to listen

Nice

I have lisent before. Great album.

Didn't even know that Another Brick in the Wall had a first part. I' stunned, it isn't even close to part 2. I think some songs are good, such as Another brick in the wall or comfortably numb, but otherwise not many songs got my attention

The Trial sounds like a musical, funny.

Discazo

La transición entre la parte uno y dos, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives, debe ser el mejor interludio musical en la historia.

A classic of classics

Good

Boring

I have never listened to The Wall all the way through. I'm very familiar with a lot of the songs from the album but I haven't listened to them in their intended form- all together. While these songs aren't my favorite Pink Floyd songs I think this album has rightly earned its place as one of the best concept albums. The rock opera quality really shines through with visual qualities to the music with an effect where you really feel like your moving through the main characters life just by listening to the songs.

Really good concept album

Classic!

Haven't listened to this in years. It's good, iconic and all. I don't think it needed to be a double LP.

Front to back incredible album. 10/10

Pretty cool, some weird songs

Ich hatte mich gestern schon bezüglich Doppelalben geäußert. Machts halt zwei Releases draus, man ey. Kein Mensch denkt sich: So, jetzt einfach mal drei Stunden eine Band. Ansonsten halt endlich mal ein Klassiker, man kennts. Also zumindest The Wall. Vielleicht bin ich Banause, aber irgendwie ist es mir auch ein bisschen zu langweilig. Ich bin gerade bei 2/3 der ersten CD, finds immer noch langweilig, aber auch ok so weit. Vielleicht fehlt mir auch einfach das Gefühl, an einem Lagerfeuer zu sitzen, ein paar Bierchen zu zischen und das Ganze ein bisschen mehr zu fühlen. Ok, eigentlich ist es auch ganz gut soweit. Höre mich langsam rein. Habe mir aber auch gerade den Holzofen angemacht. Gegen Ende war ich mir nicht sicher, ob ich nicht vielleicht doch ein Musical angehört habe.

Look ok I get that somehow Pink Floyd are legendary, and Another Brick in the Wall is a great tune. They've been the soundtrack to my stoner parties too just as much as the next student, but this really is not my cup of tea. Wandering unfocused guitar wank, nobody cares. 26 bloody tracks too. and then some musical / rock opera nonsense near the end.

Already listened beforehand, an extraordinary concept album; like nothing else I've ever listened to

I'm very familiar with this album since I wore it out on vinyl 40 years ago. Absolute classic, one-of-a-kind concept album, probably the best pure concept album ever made. The music starts flagging a bit for me at the end, starting with Waiting for the Worms, where it feels a little forced to try and draw the story to its conclusion, but that's a minor complaint. 5 stars. Fun fact - the album was released on my 14th birthday. Fun fact #2, I played and sang Nobody Home in front of an audience at an open mike night at my college.

This was an interesting listen. While I didn't love every song as a stand alone, they're all pieces of a greater whole that was a blast to listen to. I love an album that can tell a story and man, this one does it beautifully. I could picture so much of what they were going for as I listened and I'll be honest there's probably plenty that I missed. I'll probably give it another listen, in one sitting this time, in a few months.

A tremendous album and always a wild ride. I will never not think of some really wild times when I think of this album.

Still amazing

What a lovely, epic album. I listened to "Dark Side of the Moon" album a lot in high school but I don't know that I had listened to The Wall all the way through - more than happy to have a reason to. Can hear why it is so legendary. Goofy how it gets all play/musical at the end.

Classic album. I love it, but it can be overly dramatic/over the top at times. Still, it is quite a journey across a complete album and has just some epic, amazing songs.

I love this album so original and atmospheric

Great, genius, legendary... But a bit played out. I couldn't help but let my fatigue affect my rating but I still know this is over if the best.

Great album, as is anything floyd!

Bro u already know it

It’s too long. There’s some gold in here though.

Pretty good

This is definitely my favorite Pink Floyd album. I love how theatrical is it.

Steengoed album (😉), puur genieten voor bijna anderhalf uur

Definitely a big part of my youth. I was captivated by this as a teenager. The fact that there was a film certainly added to the mystique/mythology. Listening to it now still has a strange emotional effect on me. I think it easily holds up as the best rock opera of all time, for me at least. I absolutely love the way it flows and the sound effects that are used throughout. Very cinematic listening experience. Always been a fan of Pink Floyd's experimentation and ever evolving sound. It all sort of culminates here. It always amazes me that they were able to be so successful while being so experimental/conceptual. Their last masterpiece made in the process of their own implosion. In my wildest fantasies RCE would produce something like this.

Conceptually I think it's cool, but execution wise there are a lot of tracks I wouldn't care to listen to. I don't enjoy listening to kids sing for example, but thematically it's great. Very rock-opera, very Queen. There are standout tracks like "Comfortably Numb", "Another Bring in the Wall, Pt. 2", "Goodbye Blue Sky", "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3". Really hard to rate this one. It could easily be a 4-5. But, I'm leaning 3.5 rounded up to 4. I did a deep dive reading up on Pink Floyd and Syd Barret, since I actually don't have much of a Pink Floyd knowledge. I should probably watch the film.

Slightly bloated, but the radio hits are legends.

I mean... it’s The Wall. One of the greatest “modern” albums!

Fantastic Album. The first time I heard it, a lot of dust was blow around. I worked for a stage power company. Had to test an amplifier and speaker set I just repaired. At that time I did not know the album. As it starts of on a low volume I turned up the volume of the amplifier. You must know this was a sound set for a big theater hall. But after the start of the album it kicks in. The complete hall was shaking and all the dust collected from over years came free. :-) I can tell you everything was working fine. Bought this album almost instantly after this. Still love it. It is my favorite album of Pink Floyd.

I know I'm supposed to love pink floyd but I just can't appreciate the cultural aspects of the band. Still a good album though

Erre nincs mit mondani. A valaha készült egyik legjobb lemez.

A classic Rock opera

Surprisingly groovy and funky album with depth in scope and lyrics.

Really good. Found myself playing a few songs over and over again.

Love this and any album that tells stories

a work of art

What an icon. I am biased, but this is my first 5 star album. Such an explosive piece of history.

Ylipitkä ja äärimmäisen epätasainen konseptipläjäys, jonka taisin päästä kerralla loppuun neljännellä yrittämällä. Hittibiisit (varsinkin Comfortably Numb) ovat tietty klassikoita. Huippuhetket ovat epäilemättä nelosen arvoisia, mutta koska ne hautautuvat epämääräisen progeilun ja kikkailun alle, jää arvosana kolmoseksi.

One of the greatest albums from one of the greatest bands of all time. Emotive, storytelling, beautiful, everything art rock should be.

pink floyd sempre é nota máxiima

Decent, very melancholy, would have to listen again

Fantastic album. Knew some of the songs beforehand but never listened to it before it it's entirety. Great songwriting, instrumentation, arrangements. Definitely needs to be listened to as an album

...

Rock/Psychedelic, something different but nice nevertheless.

When I was younger I thought Pink Floyd was the most overrated band in history. Then I actually listened to stuff like this and realized I was way off.

For all its grandiosity and self-indulgence, this is an incredibly tight 26 track album. As a concept album, it works commendably well, telling a coherent story throughout and moving through a notably diverse range of musical styles as it does. Some of Pink Floyd's best regarded tracks, like Comfortably Numb and Hey You, but there's so much more to enjoy here, such as the desperately sad yet beautiful 'Nobody Home' or the bombastic opening notes of 'In The Flesh'. Not Pink Floyd's greatest album, but this is their last great album.

This is my all time favorite band, so I am biased, however, this double album is simply amazing. So many hits here as well.

Parece uma grande introdução de Another Brick in the Wall. Seria uma boa trilha sonora pra um teatro.

I have to admit I have never actually listened to the entire album. It was an experience. I'm glad I listened. I also read the album description provided by Apple Music. They had a pretty wild ride.

Epic

Classic. Legendary. Simply Pink Floid

Comfortably Numb is a masterpiece. I got a little lost with the rest of it. Never really understood PF.

Despite being one of their most acclaimed albums, it’s one of my least favourites (of there’s). That being said, it is still incredible and a truly masterful piece of work. They don’t make music like this anymore

Бриллиантовая работа буквально во всех аспектах. тот самый редкий случай, когда возложенные на слушателя ожидания оправдываются в полном объеме, а может даже и больше. ода из известнейших рок-опер может похвастаться отличной логикой в гармониях и последовательности песен. Тут концептуальность работает несколько иначе чем на "Темной Стороне Луны", это похоже на мюзикл: от прог-рокового звучания Флойды не отказались, но импровизации, соло и сложные ударные рисунки пользуются на работе малым спросом, но красоты и величественности звука тут не занимать. Хочется поговорить про смысл этой работы в текстовом плане, ведь какой хороший мюзикл может быть без глубокого поэтичного смысла? Весь альбом является ярким примером борьбы человека против самого себя, ведь герой пытается закрыться от общества, считая, что ему так будет жить спокойно. Но, под конец альбома нас ждет блистательный и не наигранный хэппи энд, в котором Флойд выходит в мир, от которого отказался ранее, признавая свою ошибку. Это действительно хорошая и поучительная выдуманная история, которая для многих людей в какой то степени является отражением себя, поэтому многие обращают внимание на смысловую ценность альбома, что определенно хорошо. Кстати стоит отметить, что многие песни этого альбома слушаются прекрасно и без всей этой сложной концепции стены, которую Флойд выстроил вокруг себя. "Young Lust", "In The Flesh", "Nobody Home", "Comfortably Numb" - мои субъективные любимцы, а "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2" стал самой узнаваемой песней группы. Описывая вкратце, можно сказать одно предложение: "Все еще красиво, все еще величественно, все еще по гениально." 10/10.

I prefer other Floyd albums currently but that may be because I haven't had that much exposure to 'The Wall'. In comparison to the majority of the albums I have reviewed I would much rather listen to this. Rating (high) 4/5.

Bit dull. Technically good. Samples which don't add anything.

Some songs are bangers and hv a deeper meaning

Ei mun pala kakkua

the album that spawned almost all of Floyd's radio singles. While I'm not fond of some of the songs by themselves, listening to the album as a whole elevates the entire experience. The only Pink Floyd album I fully enjoy

Despite a good chunk of this album being ruined due to overexposure via classic rock stations nationwide, The Wall still holds up in its entirety. 5 stars.

Better than the nostalgia critic version

Fucking A

Not much to be said about this one. It's one of the greatest albums of all time. Another Brick in the Wall, Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Is There Andybody Out There?... the hits just keep coming on this one. It's an all-time great for a reason.

Ikinä en oo ymmärtänyt Pink Floydin ”nerokkuutta”, 80 minuutista 20 ihan asiallista ja llput aivan turhaa ja ylimäärästä kamoissa(?) kyhäiltyä härväämistä

Solid

This really sounds so good.

3,5/5

This was better than I thought, although I wouldn't say it's as much of a classic as people think. Just a standard rock opera really. Got nothing on the crimson idol!!!
