Isn't this where we came in?

è stato un ascolto quasi esistenziale, narrativa psicologica profonda e atmosfere musicali paurose paurose !!! poi il plot twist finale “isn’t this where” è 1) un grande tocco di sensibilità perché effettivamente nella realtà non esiste una storia di guarigione lineare 2) molto lynchiano come fatto in questo momento sto riascoltando in the flash perché è spettacolare

Tra i migliori album dei floyd. Narrativa incredibile e musiche eccezionali

A bit too long for the whole relistening… but it’s a classic and it has good songs

The main thing this album did was annoy me that normal musical soundtracks don’t seem to make the cut for this list. For all intents and purposes this album is basically an opera or a musical, but from a different origin. The fullest songs that got packaged as singles are really good, but a lot of the connective tissue between them are a handful of musical interludes that I don’t think always work. I would consider listening to it again, but I imagine my mind will wander just like this time with how long and meandering it feels at times.

Too boring for me

I recently watched the movie for the first time since college and it still hits with the same heavy-handedness. The album contains some of their best melodies - Goodbye Blue Sky, Numb, Vera, Mother - along with rest of the surreal bombast (which now sounds a bit like the Residents with a bigger budge- "Waiting for the Worms" in particular) everyone knows, but it, along with Dark Side, is a bit of a slog.

It says something that I’ve been dreading putting this one on ever since I saw it pop up on my list. There was a time when I absolutely lived for this album. Getting baked and sneaking into the midnight showings of this movie was a staple of my high-school experience. But that’s a whole lifetime ago, it’s springtime, everything is blooming outside, and these days The Wall just feels like a daunting, depressing slog when reality has more than enough of that. Nowadays I hear The Wall as a vehicle for Roger Waters' narcissism and neuroses, a solo project backed by the members of Pink Floyd. That said, David Gilmour’s guitar work really shines, it’s unquestionably ambitious, and there are no doubt some great songs here. The band is also trying some new things musically; I hear a lot of rhythmic influence (if not exactly in spirit) from disco — especially on “Young Lust” and "Another Brick" — and “The Show Must Go On” sounds like a barbershop outtake from Sgt. Pepper’s. Pink Floyd were an incredible band, but this release borders on overkill today, better as a movie soundtrack. For me, Dark Side, Meddle and Piper at the Gates of Dawn (I love the Syd Barrett era) are the Floyd albums for this list.

Now this is how you do a high-concept, bombastic rock opera!

This is one of the first albums I think of when I think of Pink Floyd, but it's kinda overrated. 3.5 rounded up

Exceptional album

No es de mi estilo pero hay canciones que me gustaron

first album

It was p good. I enjoyed the overall story looking more into it. Makes sense why this is a well known album from Pink Floyd.

Wow, that was beautiful, like I was watching a movie but it was in music form, my favorite song in this album was Comfortably Numb.

ВТОРОЙ ТРЕК И ОПЯТЬ ПЛАЧЬ РЕБЁНКА В 79 НЕ ЗНАЛИ ЧЕМ ЕЩЁ ТРЕКИ РАЗБАВИТЬ СЕРЬЁЗНО? Есть хорошие моменты, но чересчур много каких-то перебивок непонятных и слишком "концептуально". Не моё.

290/1001 Pink Floyd - The Wall Heard before? ✅ Revisit? ❎ Overlong, with barely the tunes to match the runtime of the album. Overrated af.

I feel that Pink Floyd is one of the most virtuous and better prog rock bands, only for the merit of making the most accessible and popular music in their genre, to the common public. Maybe there are other bands more ambitious, prolific, with better skills or ideas. But what separates them is the ability to present these ideas in a way that are musically good and accessible. I say this cuz, compared to other Rock Operas, I feel this one is really accessible and doesn't fall on this necessity that some bands have of making the instrumentation all orchestra and classical, only for this genre. And more than that, despite being over an hour I feel this album as something that flows really well and is very cohesive. But more than that, after evading and ignoring this album, now that I listened it, I've realized how impactful and important it is today. Beyond the general thematic and common commentary about this album being about a drug addict musician that builds a metaphorical wall around him, and how it came to be due to the conditions of his environment, also as an autobiography from Waters, i found that the real themes and the content that seeps from this album is related to masculinity. All the conditions, the travel that he endures and the way these things affect his life, mostly are related to the "patriarchy", as one would say. But what I found more interesting is that in the honesty of this record, you see that it's not so much a critique of this, but a confession, a story with all the nasty parts. And the only way one can reach the truth is being honest with itself. I probably would understand someone not liking this album, seeing it as whining or victimization. Specially considering the halo of rock star that these guys have and how the part that i least like here are the voices. But, I've got to say, I cried to some songs. And i feel that connecting so profoundly with these lyrics and ideas, of how are we raised, the expectatives of our environment, the results of our conduct, the pain we inflict on others, the rising of fascism as an answer to the uncertainty and search of meaning on authoritarian figures that fill the void with purpose. All of these things were relevant then, and are as relevant now. Maybe I've not lived all of that experiences. And maybe i'm not in the same conditions as Pink. But i feel deeply and this has made me think about all the stuff i have to get better in my life.

Okay at times, but some of it is truly dreadful. The songs are good, but so much of the album is just people chanting/ speaking in really bad accents

great album, went from listening to my parents play it, to "Another Brick in the Wall" being our elementary school anthem, to tripping while watching the movie in HS lol

Fuck that’s a good album. Gilmours solos are so beautiful.

Finally!!! A 6/5 We sending this one to the aliens I am just a young boy

I can't help but wonder if there's some alternate universe where Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is on this list instead. It's absolutely an album to hear before you did, if nothing else just to hear how bad parody music can get. Anyways, I love this album. We need to bring back Rock Operas. Also the film is great, I don't know what The Nostalgia Critic is on about.

Ya

idk how ive never listened to this before? its pretty fuckin great the main thing that struck me was that "another brick in the wall (part 2)" was like, my least favourite of the "another brick in the wall" parts? i think it might just be another overexposure thing since it's the one track everyone knows (its sure as hell the only one i'd heard from this album). i preferred part 1's more minimal take on the theme, the pulsing guitar with all that delay and reverb is real atmospheric.... thats that good shit,...... my only real issue with this album is that it's like. it's a feature length concept album. its basically a movie. which makes me not really wanna go back in for another listen right away. thats kinda why im not goin into which tracks are my favourite and etc cos im really not feeling like locking in for another 81 minutes right now. so..... altho it's a great album, i can't really give it a 5 in good faith. 5 is for albums i could put on repeat all day, yknow? maybe i'll come back and update this review once i'm ready to go back in for another listen,

Probably one of the top deserving of the "gotta listen to before you die" designation.

pink floyd's other albums are better this one is shitty

knew all the big hits on here before listening obviously, but doing this album as a whole is such a whirlwind experience. does feel slightly padded at times imo but it's still good

I find the fact that this album got as big as it did very fascinating because it's a very difficult and depressing album. The second half especially is strange and purposefully off-putting. I think some of it works and some of it doesn't.

Rating:★★★★ Good concept album, lots of angry and scared lyrics, and the main character trying to escape and blame others for everything until it is no longer possible.

Enjoyed it. Don’t really listen to concept albums but liked the story and the music fitted it very well. Very ambitious!!

Le mur des lamentations

...we came in? Isn't this where...

Fantastic album. The second album is a little odd, but in terms of a story arc its a beautiful album.

Bloated as it is, it's still a solid album that tells a compelling story. It's not the Pink Floyd album I typically reach for when I'm in the mood for them though. I prefer to listen to The Wall in the movie on occasion. The visual context helps the songs resonate.

Musicianship is excellent (as you’d expect) and a number of the songs are excellent but overall let down by Waters whole hating an education system that, frankly, he and his generation were privileged to benefit from. Quite a lot of the writing around that subject feels like a parody and feels like it was written by a 14 year old.

Скучненько, однотипно, тихо, нотки торжественности Может быть под спокойное настроение пойдет, фоновый шум Второй диск интереснее Another brick in the wall уже слышала Вывод - так себе

I do not like pink Floyd. But I can still appreciate the album for what it is. I found a few songs on there I liked, like mother. Beautifully written, just not my cup of tea

Great album. Felt euphoric listening to it. I mean it's Pink Floyd it'll always be magical.

A couple of good tracks but really not for me

My favourite PF album. It’s still probably a 2 but I quite enjoyed my listen yesterday

Another Brick In The Wall is one of the worst songs ever recorded, and the album reprises it twice in the first 40 minutes. I wanted Pink Floyd to disprove my misconceptions but yeah, an album I won't be revisiting.

Ouch, a far too pleased with itself duplicate alert…a riot of one star tediousness, where oh where is “Piper at The Gates of Dawn” or Syd’s solo stuff RGP? Tom.

Everything here is exceptional and a fantastic concept album. It is a little long/drawn out for my tastes, which is probably the only drawback. I think as background music, the length is an asset, but for focused listening, an hour and twenty is a LONG time to sustain attention.

Funny how people don’t get incensed about the politics of these guys but make it the first thing they say about others. I wouldn’t ever actually listen to this by choice. Sure, it’s fine, but not my choice of music.

Yes!!! Thanks for sending on a Friday. Classic album by classic band. Had been a while since I listened to album as a whole.

It's decent enough but the songs get boring after a while. I wouldn't get any story out of this album if I didn't read the Wikipedia. I was going to listen to the 2nd disk too but these songs feel so eternal. Would recommend: if you're a chill middle aged dad

They knew which ones were heaters for sure. It's like filler, crescendo, Another brick in the wall pt 2, filler filler filler, crescendo, comfortably numb, weirdo music til the end.

Aunque sea de los albums mas importantes, no se si le pondría las 5 estrellas por simple gusto personal

algunas canciones raras, otras muy buenas

fucking masterpiece

10/10

If there was ever a time to ask "has rock music gone too far?" it was in 1979 after Pink Floyd released The Wall. Goes kinda hard though. If I grew up in the 70s I'd probably think this was the best thing ever made.

being aware of the culture of and around this album i had every intention of being too cool for it but it is just pretty dope. i've always had a weakness for the concept album and this one stays interesting for almost the whole feature-length runtime. it's packed with so many little breakdowns and triumphs it seems silly to get too specific. that being said i think there isn't a song i'm inclined to pick out and listen to a dozen times so it doesn't feel too perfect. Empty Spaces into Young Lust is pretty sick. strong 4

Rating: 7/10 Capping off a decade of making spacey prog rock masterpieces, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters writes a overlong and pretentious conceptual rock opera double album, and it's still good. Quite effective in its theatrics and themes at telling a cohesive story with the power of music. I really wouldn't find myself putting this on to listen in full, I would much prefer to put on plenty of other Pink Floyd. Very interesting piece of art and important piece of rock history, but one I don't love

Very awesome, though hard to rate because it's GOOD but also seven hours long and a very full-bodied listening experience. Meets the hype, hits are great of course, the rest of the "performance" and story is fun as well even if I don't fully understand it 7.8/10

Nice

Incredible!!! One of the best Albums of the 70s

Amazing

familiar, like it as background. should listen with some headphones sometime.

Mycket bra

8/10 A lot of it is excellent, and those songs really shine. Some of it is too theatrical for me - I'd rather have had a 5 star 45mins album rather than the musical hall, but it is one of the most enjoyable albums of this length that I've had so far.

Definitely my favorite Doug Walker album.

Very very good. Only reason for 4 is that there are some tracks I generally skip because they're quite distracting.

Bueno, qué decir de esta obra maestra. A mi parecer, por historia, contexto, relato y armado, es el mejor album de Pink Floyd. Un camino sublime de principio a fin. Te puede parecer un poco largo, es cierto. Pero es tan bueno que no importa. Un MUST en tu vida. Himnos: el 90% de las canciones

I'm not a massive Pink Floyd fan at the best of times, but I find this one a touch overrated. Some undeniable classics, but the 'rock opera-ness' of it all means you have to sit through some fairly naff audio theatre.

This is a phenomenal album! I was scared at first seeing an 80 minute duration, but this album didn't lose me for a second. The performances were all brilliant, and the non-musical elements (dialogue, applause, room tones, etc) really weaved this album together. The heart and attention to detail put into this story absolutely shine through, and I'm eager to listen again and understand more of this saga.

A lot of people call this album bloated or underwhelming and I felt that way too the first time or two I heard it but I quickly realized that this truly is a masterpiece just like their previous three albums. There are some segue songs but I enjoy them all at least thematically if not musically. Most of the tracks are great and this is one of the most conceptually tight and finely crafted double albums of all time. It is one of the few classic double albums that justifies its length. This is the final record in an undefeated 4-album run and even though it may be the weakest in several ways, that does not prevent it from still being one of the greatest albums of all time.

*Obviously iconic album but it has some times where it rambles a bit *Another brick in the wall is an all time song

I found this album difficult to listen to. PF are fab to some people but not to me. Boring. Lengthy songs. I found it a chore to listen to. Just not my thing.

This one’s very difficult. I’m a big fan of the Folding Ideas video about Doug Walker’s The Wall….I watch it every couple of months….I can’t separate the real music from Doug Walker’s shitty parody. I’m sure this is good, but I just hear ‘Comfortably Dumb’ instead.

Tercera vez que lo escucho, las otras dos fueron viendo la película, probablemente sea el mejor álbum conceptual de la historia y no me hace falta escuchar todos para decirlo, todo el álbum gira en torno a la historia de cómo Pink se va sumiendo en la paranoia y la depresión. Las críticas hacia el sistema educativo, la familia, la guerra y la sociedad en general nunca envejece y me toca demasiado profundo, y la película que salió años después mejora aún más la visión que tenia Waters para este álbum, simplemente una obra maestra

One of the greatest of all Time

mythical, profound, neverending

It’s Pink Floyd, it’s the Wall. It’s Mabo

Real cool and fascinating

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, BIG CLAPS FOR MA MAN PINKY PINK

How do I rate this? As a 13 year old who thought it was the most profound reflection on the human experience or as a 50 year old who knows it's a whiny self absorbed who trip with a couple of bangers?

This is just amazing. I never get tired of listening to it.

To be fair, it’s not a bad album. I just can only handle so much Floyd at once.

An incredible album that really is unparalleled. An album with intricate themes, both melodic and lyrical, that make a cohesive piece of art. Incredible songs, and guitar solos, really love this one. Highlights: The whole album

Pretty good

Klassikko. Pirun toimiva.

Very good album. The loose story about the wall is fun to follow. Comfortably numb is a top 10 guitar solo ever. Last song is such a nice conclusion and fades into the first song, WOW what genius.

I really wanted to like this. It felt way too long and confusing. While there are some great songs on here, I don’t think all really live up to how influential and impressive this album is meant to be. I would listen to some songs again, but as a whole album probably not.

This is so grand and in my view overdone. Far too much going on, too many ideas and incoherence. Bizarre ending, just not even that many good songs here. A disappointment compared to earlier stuff

Pink Floyd love to really drag out their songs/albums for as long as possible but it JUST WORKS and it’s so them… I just love the vibes and no way will I ever give Pink Floyd less than a 5 you’d be sick for thinking this is less than 5 stars

If I grew up in the 60s and was on LSD, then I'd like this. But I didn't, and I'm not, so I don't.

Great Album, great sounds, great memories

Like ittt, buena musica, muy buena la forma en que conecta cada canción

top

This album sounds incredible. There’s aome brilliant musicianship and songwriting here. The way the motif from Another Brick in the Wall recurs throughout the album in slightly different ways is really cool.

out of this world

waste of time

I used this album cover as the backdrop once for a movie my brother and I made with G.I. Joes. A great album and a great substitute for an actual wall.

Way too long for such a boring album.

“The Trial” knocked a full star off this one. Overall there are a lot of good tracks on here but I find the wanky concept album tracks distracting to the overall quality.

Far from my favourite Pink Floyd album, but still it is incredible. I'm coming to the conclusion that I think they may be my favourite band/artist...

Quizás top 3 mejores discos conceptuales de la historia del rock. Un disco de culto

I'm halfway through and this is my first Floyd album. Honestly, I was expecting more from it. Perhaps it would be better if I watched the film rather than just listened to the album, but this is albums to listen to before you die, not films to watch. The Wall has a couple of good songs. Brick in the Wall and Comfortably Numb being the obvious stand outs. Besides that it's a bit of a bland, overlong album. I'd much rather listen to Dark Side of the Moon or The Division Bell than this again.

Decent

amazing!

I never understood the hype of this album. It's...fine(?). Too long, but fine.

Not much diversity and the style didn’t really suit my music taste. I liked the songs young lust, dont leave me now, hey you, comfortably numb and run like hell.

Was ok. I liked the leitmotiv

I hate this album and I hate this band, they're both waaaaay too over rated.

It’s got a ton of classics and is widely regarded as one of Pink Floyd’s best records. I appreciate the ambition of it. There are a few lower points on the album where some of the vocals don’t seem as thought out as some of the other material, in my opinion. There are also a few call back moments that probably make more sense in the accompanying film. But what do I know… these are just my thoughts, which mean zero! 3.6/5.0

Absolutely brilliant although bittersweet in that it did signal the end of the classic PF lineup. Could have done without the trial… 5 stars Fave track - comfortably numb. Feels like the most complete contribution by the whole band.

A slightly resistant 4. Where it hits, it really hits, but it's very long and feels like a lot of filler, which was making me think give it a 3. But there are enough iconic tunes in here to give it a 4.

There are some really great songs, but ot's not a great album, i could probably edit this down to a 40minn 4.5* album. But i dont want to just put this on, sit back and listen to the whole thing

I understand why it is a double but getting inside Waters mind for 80 minutes can be taxing. That said I would do it agfain.

All up, it's not as consistent an album as some of their others; a few amazing songs but not quite a 5. Did take two listenings to get to that decision

very interesting album. very interesting to read about its themes and inspirations. musically, each song is unique while having distinct leitmotifs. it really helps that most of them flowed together, or else it would've been a jarbled mess. it wasn't *too* exciting, so it gets a 4.

A big album with an interesting concept but I don't think I'll ever choose to listen to it again.

i’ve heard this album tons before, i could probably recreate it in my mind note for note in my sleep. kinda overplayed it to the point i don’t like it nearly as much now. still good though. meddle, dark side and animals better. yea the wall is good, big whoop. it’s very tight. every detail was very clearly thought out. incredibly meticulous record. it’s been said but they say “ooh babe” way too many times on this thing. the fretless bass on hey you cannot go understated. thank you david gilmour. for its length, the album really doesn’t drag. i’m giving this a four, if i had done this project a couple years ago it would’ve been a 5 for sure. i like the ending of waiting for the worms a lot, its sick.

Me gustó mucho, tiene canciones re icónicas y el sonido te atrapa un montón. Aunque es un álbum largo, se disfruta de principio a fin y deja una vibra muy única.

Very very awesome

I really like Pink Floyd. Atom Heart Mother and Animals are two albums I have frequently listened to, front to back. Animals would probably go in my top albums of all time, if I was forced to make a list. But The Wall has always been a disappointment for me. I do like Comfortably Numb and Hey You, but I HAAAAAAAAAATE Another Brick In The Wall. To talk about the album itself, it's always weird to me that they went from Animals to The Wall. Animals, like most other Pink Floyd albums (to my ears) is more like one long song. A trip in and of itself. Then The Wall comes around, and it's the most disjointed of their work that I've heard, which is something like 8-9 of their first 11 albums. With The Wall, it feels like they really just made your average 70s rock band's album instead of the masterful psychedelia of before. Hey You and Comfortably Numb being exceptions. It's ironic, since The Wall is supposed to actually be a story of sorts, with a movie and everything, but it feels like a grouping of songs to me, whereas all of their other albums usually feel to me like the songs melt into each other musically, creating a felt story or sensation, rather than one told through the lyrics.

I've listened to the album before this and yeah pretty good :D

unbeatable

insanely influential albums with alot of social challenges mentioned within songs ,already had a couple of songs and this is my type of vibes

Bit boring

not for me at all

A bit of a slog to get through in one sitting, and not Dark Side of the Moon, but good nonetheless.

I understand every bit of why this album is as big and popular as it is. Well maybe not every bit but the broad point. It's really just not for me, too much of Waters theatrics that just don't interest me. When it's good it's outstanding but those parts I can attribute more to the band and Gilmour than just Waters doing his thing.

magic

Есть приятные гитарные партии, но в целом для меня это скучно, а концовка оперно-мюзикальная так вообще ужас.

dislike

Note before listening: Wow. Looks like I haven’t heard this one in a while. I was into PF and The Wall specifically a lot as a teenager and it always was clear 5/5 for me. I’m a big fan of a concept albums. Which is probably because of this one. One thing is that gradual disappointment with Waters over the years might affect the way I feel about this album. After listening: Not sure if I was in the correct mood for it. This time around it feels longer and more boring than I remember. Dynamics and theatrical delivery were always a highlight for me, now it feels like there is not enough of them with longer periods of dragging songs. I don’t think all the short filler songs add anything of value here. For it to be a solid album a lot is too spelled out and on the nose. Not saying that it’s bad. It’s still good, just not as perfect as I remember it to be. Favorite tracks: comfortably numb, hey you, nobody home, run like hell Least favorite track: anything below 2 minutes in length

I love both the album and the movie. It's one of the best musical experiences.

Let me start by saying, I'm not a Pink Floyd fan. I was actually fully prepared to give this album a 4... I was pleasantly surprised that I was appreciating and enjoying it for the first 40 minutes. But then the second disc hit, and it lost me and reminded me why I dislike Pink Floyd with all of the droning and depressing songs (save Run Like Hell, which is a decent song), and weird tracks (The Trial). Overall (3).

fascinante

since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you. I did not care for pink floyd. -What? -Did not care for pink floyd - how can you even say that? - Don't like them -it's so good! It's like the perfect band - this is what everyone always said. Whenever they say... - Roger waters, David gilmour, I mean, you never see, syd Barrett! - Fine. Fine. Fine musician, did not like the band -why not? -Did not...couldn't get into it. - Explain yourself. What didn't you like about them? - It insists upon themselves. - What? - It insists upon itself. - What does that even mean?

Pocas bandas pueden jactarse de haber sido las mejores del planeta en algún momento de su historia. Esta es una.

Good.

This is fantastic

It has at least half a dozen of Pink Floyd's best songs, but as a whole it's just so silly and self-indulgent

All around BANGER. This was just incredible. The consistency is what really shines in this album. Obviously when you see Pink Floyd you expect it to be good but this was just great track after great track. The vocals, the production and the writing were all on. point. The type of album you listen to every other month and are amazed each time. Rating : 9.4 Favorite track : Comfortably Numb

Alles geht perfekt ineinander über wirkt wie eine zusammenhängende Geschichte viele Songs kann man nicht alleine hören

Classic! Brilliant songs and arrangements.

Like all teenagers who have learned guitar since the 70s, I had a Pink Floyd phase, and since I was a teenager of a somewhat theatrical bent this was the album that resonated most strongly with me. I think I even played Goodbye Blue Sky for a recital once. Since then I’ve fallen away from Pink Floyd and haven’t listened to this record in probably fifteen years. It’s a completely different album to me now; as a teenager I approached it as a kind of allegory, and since teenagers are narcissistic I could hear my own life in it. I now hear it as someone whose pains have calcified into a wall of my own -different, but no less vulnerable - and I’m living through a time when I can see many people my age build their own walls during a descent into fascism, and it’s all the more sinister for it. This album absolutely fucking rips. That said, I really hate the film.

Banger

Couple of good songs. The rest is all a bit weird.

Didn’t know this was a rock opera

Love this album

2.5

I forgot that this is one of the greatest albums of all time

Great Album….from my youth!

This isn't the best Pink Floyd album, but that is kind of like saying a given pizza place isn't the best in NYC. It's still very good and has a couple of moments which one could consider essential. That said, it suffers from bloat in a way that isn't super uncommon for prog. A lot of the genius on other Pink Floyd albums is in avoiding that sort of thing, but this thing is 80 minutes long and feels like it.

One of the greatest albums of all time

didn't listen couldn't listen too long maybe in the future i get around to it

I don't think this album is the best of pink Floyd, but it's still a great listen , and I just wanna say that the writing in this album and the story telling is second to none. 4/5

No es mi favorito de pink floyd. Es una obra maestra de la arquitectura emocional, impecable en su estructura y diseño, pero quizás demasiado cínica para mi gusto. Valoro su narrativa lógica y su producción quirúrgica, aunque me falta ese equilibrio entre la crudeza y la calidez humana para que sea un álbum de uso diario.

I’ve heard of this album before ;-) But apart from the title track and a few other well-known songs, I didn’t know it, but it didn’t disappoint...

mother should i build a wall mother should i run for president

Interesting

In the Flesh, Mother, Young Lust, one of my turns, confortably numb omg Très bonne découverte

Going back to ones I missed . I knew this was going to be a 4 but did think it might be a 5 . Having listened all tge way through on a car journey I stick with 4 . Do live a concept album though . Would give the video a 5 .

A bit overwraught at times and too long but the good bits are very good.

A towering achievement in rock history, this ambitious concept album delivers powerful emotional themes and incredible production that remains deeply impactful from start to very finish.

Incredible album. I never want to listen to it again.

Overblown pomposity and conceit in musical format.

I mean, it's The Wall.

залупа 1/10

Fantastic album

Tento album mám od nich najradšej. Bol prvý, ktorý som od nich počul, tak asi preto...

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?!

I’ve never really vibed on Pink Floyd and I’ve gotta tell ya, this didn’t change my mind

Yey! Pink Floyd, Oh no! the Wall I thought. Not my favourite album of theirs . The last time I listened to it I was peeved because it was too long and felt many songs were fillers; this time I remembered that this band to me are magicians of music, their moderate English voices, the tunes, they hit deep into my heart, and so I was peeved because there were too many songs of short duration, just when I was getting emotionally involved it cuts to another song. And if I was their producer, I would have called a halt at the Show Must Go on. Nothing to see after that.

I AM JUST A NEW BOY

lo que me gusta del cd es esa visión de incorporar sonidos ajenos a instrumentos. hacer como un relato de tema en tema. la grabación de los instrumentos, como se nota que existe alguien con mucha habilidad detrás y me gustan mucho sus letras, sus melodías, sus solos instrumentales. me gusta mucho cuando suena toda la banda junta pero aun asi siento que es un cd que no termino de digerir del todo, quizás por el género que maneja, lo alternativo me cuesta conectar con ello. pero musicalmente son una obra maestra

Incredible stuff. I love some Pink Floyd. Other Floyd albums are totally better than this one, but it’s still nice. I didn’t like the length of the album still I’m glad I listened to it all. Favorite song: The Trial

It's musical theater for men who are into WWII. I don't enjoy this as much as Dark Side of the Moon. It's okay but way too long and pretentious.

I've never like The Wall all that much compared to ANY of their previous albums, which I like all of and I've never been able to quite figure out why that is. For a long time I thought maybe it's just Waters' megalomania, but he was always a crucial composer for the band and Animals is, similarly to this album, almost all his work too, so I don't think it's that. Now that I listened to it again, I actually think it's the shorter songs that might be reason for it. I like them whenever they focus on longer songs. That, and the style in general moving further away from the styles they were doing before. Three stars.

The best there is!

This is overlong and overly ambitious, but still very, very good. The concept album run including this, Animals, Dark Side, and Wish You Were Here is pretty unbelievable as a whole. However, despite it's pretensions, this is not the magnum opus, and is actually the weakest of the four albums, IMO. There's still a lot to love here. The recurring leitmotifs of certain riffs, lyrics, and so forth sets the gloomy, dramatic tone that Waters aimed for. It's a smashing success in this regard. The most famous songs, except for maybe "Young Lust," will deservedly be played on classic rock radio forever. Many deep tracks are great as well, esp. "Goodbye Blue Sky," "Mother," the "In the Flesh"(es), and Part III. It's an interesting thing to deconstruct, and I find it pretty interesting in terms of plot, themes, arc, etc. It's just too much between the war stuff, the Freudian stuff, and the idea that Pink is some fascist dictator rock star. This is where it feels overly ambitous for me, and, like so many double albums, about half-a-disc too long. Best songs: "In the Flesh?/!" "Goodbye Blue Sky" "Comfortably Numb" "Run Like Hell" Worst songs: "Waiting for the Worms" "The Trial"

holy what an experience. that is all i can say about this. maybe the finest album I have ever heard. I am a little slut for albums this cohesive. Fav Song from Disc 1: Young Lust Least Fav: Goodbye Cruel World Fav Song from Disc 2: The Trial Least Fav: Vera

Some absolute classics and a few songs that I enjoyed that are not as well known. Not a front to back album for me as there are still some skips in there.

epic album; commercial and complex

Near perfect album. Definitely Floyd’s best. Dynamic music with a through storyline.

This was/is THE album. The most important album in my music listening journey. 14 years ago, it took a massive sledgehammer to my wall (hah) of expectations and understanding of what music could do, and introduced me to a whole wide world of incredible music. 5/5, 10/5, 100/5, nothing compares to “The Wall”

Rich imagery, excellent music, somewhat dark

Niice

"The Wall" may be the most successful concept album of all time - one in which the narrative actually holds together and the music and story complement each other well. There are also some truly great songs here - Gilmour's "Hey You" and "Comfortably Numb" and Waters' "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2". But it is also really long, and there is a bit of filler that may be primarily for narrative purposes. A crowning achievement for the band, but not a perfect album.

It’s great don’t get me wrong but they kind of lost me halfway through side 2 and got me back for Comfortably Numb almost at the end.

One of *the* concept albums/rock operas of '70s rock. While alot of the tracklisting can come across as filler (in my opinion, the film adaptation is a much better realization of Water's vision because of this), they don't overstay their welcome too long, and even divorced of context the biggest hits from this album (Another Brick in the Wall, Comfortably Numb, Hey You) can still go hard for an inattentive listener. Just on the whole a very deeply angry and bitter album. I don't know when Roger Waters originally came up with the concept of the titular, metaphorical Wall to write the album's narrative around, but he uses it to vent many deep grievances he carried growing up in post-WWII Britain. Not hard to see why Waters was so deeply resentful of a conflict that stole his father from him. Other targets of hatred include the systematically abusive post-war British education, and the rising fascism of a Britain that ironically claimed superiority for having defeated Nazism. It's kind of silly that I feel like I could type another couple paragraphs to defend the album from those who engage with it on the most shallow level and deride it as "we live in a society" junk, a critique which I could give leeway too if some of the loudest people shouting it are idiots like Doug Walker. 8/10.

well-deserved reputation, I'm already a fan of concept albums in general but this one set the bar. Comfortably Numb works amazingly both in the context of the album and standalone.

8.5/10 I really like the concept and the songs flow well, maybe they could've done away with some of the interludes as I don't think they added much imo. But overall it was a really solid listen. Can't wait to see the movie!

boring

One of the best concept album ever

The beginning and end of this album didn't really do much for me, and I honestly didn't like Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 that much. However, it definitely got stronger for me around One of Our Turns, and I loved the more experimental moments, the beautiful orchestral sections, and the use of field recordings throughout the middle of the album. Definitely feels a bit indulgent, which is not my favorite vibe, but there's a decent amount of stuff to love here. Favorites: One of Our Turns, Don't Leave Me Now, Is Anybody Out There?, Nobody Home

Ohhhhhh man, to say how many times I listened to this in high school would be embarrassing. I know this thing in and out, front to back to front again. It's the pinnacle of overblown, overwrought, 70s rock bloat and it works despite itself. Not even close to my favorite Floyd record but, to me, it's just so undeniable. I know why someone might hate it, but I love it. Movie's cool, too.

Obviously

One of the best of all time!

Somehow it’s like rewatching Star Wars after George Lucas kept meddling . All the fun little skits and jokey parts just detract from the film with each rewatch. The wall is a bit like that . Yes it’s brilliant but for every great track , riff, melody or song there is an annoying voice over ruining a song - mostly confined to intro and out trial but it does detract from. Also reminds me of crappy mid 90s rap albums with needles skits between the tracks . Yet another on the list of 70s great double albums that should be single album.

so good

Took a while to get into it - always had that issue with Pink Floyd. 7/10

Such captivating music to get lost in. Set up like a movie. A great mix of atmospheric tones and rock music (the guitars and vocals are airy and other worldly) while threading a linear concept throughout. The only knock imo is the length. It’s tough not having skippable moments with a track list this long. You have to be in the mood for this album, it’s not something generally thrown on in the background since it grabs your attention for the entirety of the show. Cut into a single disc, it’s something really special. But as long and pretentious it may be, it’s still iconic and holds up well boasting hits like Another Brick Wall Pt. 2, Comfortably Numb, Hey You.

war ok... ein bekanntes lied aber joa...

A titan of rock for sure. Not their Magnum Opus however. Fave track: Comfortably Numb

It’s a great album and Comfortably Numb is one of the greatest songs ever made. But there are (I assume) 3 albums to come from Pink Floyd that I think are better. 4/5

Great concept album that contains some of my favourite songs of all time and tells a story along the way. That said, I don't think the whole thing adds up to more than the sum of its parts, and it goes on for a bit long. Faves: Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2, Mother, Comfortably Numb, The Trial

I don't know any other album with as much filler that still rates 5 stars. It might sound like a contradiction but its still an essential album and every bit as important as dark side. Paranoia, anxiety, stress, tension, friction will all be felt during this listening but when it soars its incredible.

Pink Floyd's excesses in stage performance and a Rodger Waters breakdown culminated in this seminal work from the English psychedelic rockers. For my money, The Wall may be the best example of a concept album with a plot that makes sense and isn't dumb or gross. What's more, the album doesn't feature much useless filler (though there is some), or overstay its welcome. Engaging and very listenable throughout, though I did find I enjoyed the musical theatre of the last suite of songs more as a kind than I do as adult. Highlights: "Comfortably Numb", but honestly most of the album rules. lowlights: "Bring the Boys Back Home"

A classic.

Lots of good songs including one absolutely fire one

non capisco l'hype dietro l'album

Great album.

Don't like Pink Floyd

I ain't slogging through this. I know there's some good tunes on it but the radio killed them for me.

It’s what I think of when people refer to a concept album - some great tracks - comfortably numb one of the all time classics. Some of it felt almost like a musical “Trial” had shades of Les Miserables

Gas

Excellent album, although not something I will regularly add to my listening rotation.

Just such a long album. Comfortably Numb is so, so good. There was certain parts I enjoyed and others seemed to drag on. 3.5/5

Way too long (3.5)

In the Flesh? Another Brick in the Wall, Pt 2 Mother Hey You Nobody Home In the Flesh The Trial

The Thin Ice Another Brick in the Wall pt 1 Happiest Days of Our Lives Another Brick in the Wall pt 2 Goodbye Blue Sky Young Lust One of My Turns Hey You Is There Anybody Out There? Comfortably Numb Run Like Hell The Trial

Haven't listened to this for so long, just magnificent. End of a startling run of albums.

icônico demais, the wall tu vai pra sempre ser famoso!!!!!

Placeholder

I love the audacity of a rock opera. Where did that confidence go in modern artists?

Comfortably numb

Great album. Probably their 4th best.

Middle of the road Floyd album for me. It's bogged down by being a bloated, overindulgent double LP when it would've served better with less filler

2.7

Youre Just aaa

Foi a minha primeira vez escutando os dois discos de The Wall de forma completa. O primeiro disco ganharia 4,5. O segundo disco ganharia 3,5. Com isso, minha nota final será 4 e um reconhecimento de que escutarei ele completo mais vezes! De certa forma, essas músicas sempre estiveram e ainda estão presentes na minha vida. 4/5

O primeiro disco é fantastico. O lado A na verdade é excepcional, o disco começa muito bem. O lado B nao é excepcional, é bom. Ja o segundo disco, so gosto de Hey You e Comfortably Numb (que é a melhor do disco e uma das melhores da banda) 4/5

Favorite tracks; In the Flesh?, Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, Mother, Comfortably Numb, The Trial I've grown so disillusioned with a lot of these old rock operas, as I feel like they more often than not have enough strength in the compositions to justify their usually pompous concepts. At least with The Wall, it's more grounded in reality and there's a lot more to take away in its themes than say Tommy. I just can't stand Roger Waters on this album, some of his theatrics fall flat. That being said, some absolutely phenomenal moments on here; do I need to tell you that Comfortably Numb is an all-timer?

Top 3 ever

I genuinely tried to get into this even though I think Pink Floyd kinda sucks. I know that a lot of people like how expansive and epic it is, but a lot of it just felt meandering and overly grandiose and boring to me, particularly in the second half. I had forgotten about 'mother are they going to try and break my balls' though, which is pretty funny when sung in a British accent.

Pretty cool album. I like the first half more then the second. The first is a bit more rocking, and the second pleasantly lolls you in a sleepy state. Not that you can get tired of the album because it is great. I don't think this is as good of an album as Wish You Were Hear and Dark Side of the Moon better, which I think will be 5 stars for me. You can hear echoes of what the Wish You Were Here album brings to this one. Interested in diving deeper into the meaning of each song.

It’s pretty cool I’ve already heard it

For years I really had a strong dislike of Pink Floyd. I always thought there was too much going on, it was overblown, it lacked quality control. Since I've grown to love Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and others. When this album is good, it's phenomenally good, when it's bad it really scrapes the depths of what I can tolerate. I suspect this album is where our relationship got off on the wrong foot. An album full of hits, but equally full of filler. How can it be full of both at the same time? Because it's too fucking long.

está bien... pero pensaba que me gustaría muchísimo más. osea obviamente tiene temazos impresionantes (Comfortably Numb, Mother, Another Brick In The Wall, Run Like Hell, The Trial), pero tiene dos problemas bastante gordos: 1) el disco tiene una cantidad de relleno impresionante. se podrían haber recortado fácilmente media hora de Roger Waters Haciendo Paridas™ (sobre todo en los lados B y D) y el disco sería mucho más cohesivo. 2) aunque no siempre es el caso, algunas de las letras del disco son demasiado superficiales para los temas que quieren tocar, y en vez de transmitir un mensaje pleno y que realmente llegue al nivel de la "ópera del rock" que intenta ser, algunas canciones acaban dando la misma vibe que los posts del tipo «vivimos en una Sociedad™». no sé si me explico

There's a theory that whatever you were listening to when you were fourteen will stick with you the rest of your life. Well this is the album I was listening to when I was fourteen, in fact one of the small handful of albums I owned, so I probably played it hundreds of times when I was a teenager. Has it stuck with me? Hell yes! Although The Wall doesn't tick every single box for what I'm looking for in an album, it ticks so many that it's about as close as I imagine an album can get to perfection. In fact, I worry slightly that I'm holding this two hour plus monster up to being something that it isn't. I've listened to this so many times that I've been through the point where it almost slips into being unlistenable, back to it being impactful again. I can appreciate that this kind of album isn't for everyone, and there are definitely excesses in the running time and the "fourth side". There's also an argument that some of the songs here don't all stand up in their own right. I personally think that they do, and everything is just in the perfect place from start to finish. Every keyboard stroke, drum beat, guitar string being hit, even Roger's vocal delivery is spot on from start to finish. From the big hit (Another Brick in the Wall the single), to the fan favourite Comfortably Numb, to the film, to the numerous live performances, there's just so much to absorb to properly get the full impact of such a momentous piece of music. I guess, above all, there's nothing that really sounds like The Wall, other than The Wall. The closest is probably The Final Cut, as some of this was the leftovers from this album. However, the sumptuous production, the lyrics, the delivery, the musicality, everything is far superior on The Wall. It also has arguably the best Pink Floyd song on it in Comfortably Numb. When I was fourteen, I didn't really follow the story too closely, as it didn't hold any special meaning for me. Now in my fifties, it has much greater impact than it did previously. Another thing that helped, is getting hold of a copy of the lyrics, as I had my "own version" when I first got this album in a cassette double album format. As an example, "Fat and psychopathic wives" was "Parents like a traffic light" for many years, with other mishearings becoming part of the whole experience for me. I listened to the remaster for the first time, always avoiding it in the past. It was a little jarring in places, hearing different instruments that didn't come through in the original mix. But it was still the same album underneath, flawed, imperfect, but probably one of the most important albums of all time for me. An easy five stars.

Îi fainut nu-i rău

What memories! I went to that concert twice ♥️

Amazing

Listened to this once before and was impressed it was good the second time too.

There was a lot of good music here. There was also an insane amount of filler. I get that it was a concept album, but I think you need to be on something to enjoy that part of it. Solid 3

A mislim vrhunski kultni album, šta se tu ima puno za reći. Imam love & hate odnos prema njima, pa mi je teško dati najveću ocjenu, ali bit će jaka 4/5, 8/10

7/10 - So far this is my second favorite Pink Floyd album. I really like the concept; however, I find Prog Rock often looses its course and doesn’t end up going anywhere. That happens a few to many times on this album to warrant a 4.

I love the concept of this album and the story is extremely interesting. That being said, there's only a couple of songs I would want to relisten to outside the context of the album (ABITW PT2, Comfortably Numb). It's also extremely long and there are too many lulls. 7/10

the wall has surrounded me for too long and i don't know how to get out

Very interesting to be a member of Gen Z, constantly vaguely bitter about the lack of freedom/offline opportunities for socialization and experimentation and low-stakes mistake-making that people my age and younger have grown up with, constantly bombarded with thinkpieces written by people our parents' age about the emotional stuntedness of our generation in sanctimonious tones as if the way they raised us and the world they built to raise us in had nothing to do with causing it, et cetera, et cetera... and then to listen to tracks like Mother on this album. I suppose to some extent every generation really does feel they're facing some of the same struggles... The music is, of course, pretty good here, but not quite good enough the whole way through that dealing with an 80+ minute runtime doesn't feel like a bit of a chore. Still, it's one I wouldn't mind doing again.

Both ahead of its time and a classic

This is a cool concept I guess but most of the songs fucking suck ass. Pink Floyd has better albums by far. Roger waters is also a Nazi I think kinda

2.5hrs long

The wall is a Pink Floyd classic of course. Probably my 4th favorite after animals, wish you were here, and dark side of the moon. Thematically, it’s one of the best. Overall tone and vibe pertains to today’s issues just as well as the issues of the 70s. Timeless classic

album nie jest zły, posiada parę dobrych utworów, ale pink floyd ma lepsze albumy

bez oceny, nie przesłucham jeszcze raz. to jak przesłuchać płytę z soundtrackiem do Hamiltona i zastanawiać się czy Dua Lipa fajniejsza. może jakbym przesłuchał jak mialem 14 lat żeby jakieś emocjonalne i wspomnieniowe powiązanie mieć z tym to byłoby fajne. tak o to mi się nie podoba. pretensjonalne!!!

Lirycznie świetny, niestety traci dużo bez filmu. Kilka bardzo dobrych utworów a reszta to tło które się rozmywa. Mother, Another Brick in the wall, goodbye blue sky, Comfortably numb, The trial świetne.

i'm going to treat this listening experience as an encounter with a music album, not as a soundtrack to a musical because the latter requires a visual medium for me as well. why are there so many sound effects??? makes it so literal. very generic vocals, which is not necessarily a bad thing. 'don't leave me now' i hated, i get that its supposed to be sad, mournful and desperate but i thought it was cheaply this way. i was so done by pt.3. 'hey you' surprising at first, but i was disappointed with the same theme. 'comfortably numb' is very good, a strong stand alone piece. i have read more about the plot on wiki halfway through the album and it adds to the experience a whole lot but im not sure this is something im looking for. glad to have experienced it though. 'the trial' is so nightmare before christmas coded.

Despite Comfortably Numb being a truly fantastic song, there's not that many other moments of genius, which made me quite disappointed since it has the cultural prestige that it has. Not bad or even okay by any means but it's not even near being the best Pink Floyd album.

fav songs: another brick in the wall, pt. 2 opera, movie, 30/100

Classic, but damn is it bloated

Gran disco. Una obra maestra del progresivo. Me encanta la relación entre cada pista y el gran trabajo tanto instrumental como lírico. El nivel de producción esta a otro nivel. Una cátedra a como hacer un disco conceptual. Gran disco.

La historia, el sentido de desolación casi holocaustico al que nos llevan nuestros demonios. Una obra maestra conceptual

The album as a whole is somehow both more cohesive than any of the songs listening individually but also weirder as a whole too.

Roger Waters would prob punch me in the face for saying it, but this album would be way better at half the length. The best tracks are incredible but too much operatic craziness for my liking, would have been more impactful in smaller doses. 4.5 rounded down.

Must have caught me on a good day, used to think this wasn't my favorite Pink Floyd but this listen I am really loving it. The transition from "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" into ABITW part 2 is epic, Gilmour's guitar work straddling those classic rock and 80s sounds, and the overall thematic grandiosity of it really hits this time around.

I really wanted to like it

The singles from this are great, but I don’t find the rest of the album hugely memorable.

Um clássico, simplesmente não há resenha que abarque o quanto

🥰❤️ I love when he screams and crashes out.

4.5/5 I have such a strong connection to Pink Floyd as they were my first experience getting into a band and going through their discography, not just simply listening to radio hits. I learned to play guitar to many of the tracks on this album, and I was lucky enough to see Roger Water perform The Wall live in DC in 2010 as one my first concerts and it was a really formative experience for me musically. While I love The Wall, I think it suffers a bit from being almost exclusively a Roger Waters project and I feel like I'm missing some David Gilmour input that was present on previous albums. I'm also a bit bummed the movie version of Empty Spaces, which included What Shall We Do Now? was cut from the final album, I feel some room could've been made for it. Still The Wall is undeniably a masterpiece of a concept album and I'm happy when it comes on over most other albums. It's a bit hard for me to pick out favorites as I enjoy the whole thing so much, but Hey You and Comfortably Numb would be those if I had to pick.

Relisten Pink Floyd's most emotionally poignant work in spite of its slightly bloated length. Roger Water's life experience bleeds through every song on this album, and I'm always surprised by the amount of people who view this album as pretentious - a little on the nose maybe, but given Water's specific attachment to this project so many years after its release makes it clear that this was a personal piece first and foremost. It's not my favorite Pink Floyd album, but it offers some of the group's strongest emotional highs. Fav tracks: Another Brick in The Wall Pt. 1 thru Pt. 2, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell, The Trial Least fav: Young Lust 4.5/5

I don’t mind this album. It’s not my typical genre but i would say it’s good and has some songs that point out faults in our societies. I would say it’s a classic and really good just not my type.

The beats are enjoyable, they bring suspence and exitement. The lyrics are a bit quiet so its harder to focus on them, but when you do you can really get down and realize what world you live in. But it's really not my cup of tea.

It was a gratis álbum and the sounds that are into every song has a los of feelings

V najstniških letih iz nekega razloga nism padla v Pink Floyde, tko kot kar nekaj prijateljev takrat. Zmer so mi bli Led Zeppelin ljubši. Zadnje cajte sm jih mal raziskovala, ampak ne ta album (btw, 81 minut! Glih dons, k mam bolj zaseden dan.). Bom šla v dveh delih, tko k je tud sam album zasnovan. Po pravic, taprvedv komada mi ne potegneta. In razen od prej poznanih (ta "Another Brick in the Wall" medley), k so mi fine, mi tud zj naprej ml ne sede? "Mother" je ok. I guess mi Pink Floydi nikol ne bojo baš potegnli (spomnim se edin, da mi je mogoč prvi album, k je bl psychadelic, všeč bil; The Dark Side of the Moon mam na cdju & mi je kul; še en alvum sm večkrat v avtu poslušala & mi je isto kul - let me gugl it - Meddle). Mja, not the biggest fan prve polovice. Zna bit sicer, da mi bo druga boljša, ko ošvrknem sta vsaj dva komada gor, k se spomnim, da sta mi všeč. Yep, "Hey You" in "Comfortably Numb" sta še zmer huda. Na splošno mal bolj k prva polovica. "The Trial" je kul. Najbl močn 'rock opera' vajb do zdej, čeprav naj bi cel album bil to. Ta komad je prou k iz mjuzikla vzet. Mal cabaret že skor na cajte.

As sonically brilliant and boring as any Pink Floyd album. It works much better as something in the background than as something to actively listen to (unless you're on drugs). Very soundtracky in parts.

I don't love this nearly as much as I love Dark Side or Wish You Were Here, but this is way up there on the list of all time great albums. Comfortably Numb is a top 5 song ever for me. And Hey You is another huge standout. This album could probably end with Run Like Hell as it really peters out after that but I don't make the rules.

Never really got pink floyd’s appeal. I guess you have to be divorced enough to understand

3/5

English public schoolboy fourth-form poetry backed by overblown, pretentious proggy music...UGH, NO! I hate this record with every muscle, sinew, anterior cruciate ligament, artery and vital organ in my body. More bloated than an anaconda's stomach after swallowing an entire horse in one gulp. Contains more shit than a constipated elephant. Pink Floyd are an insufferable, pompous group of arses.

What an album. The main reason I don't listen to this more is that it feels like I need to listen to the whole thing to appreciate is and it's long. But the storytelling and range of musical moods is perfect. Dave Gilmore is probably my favorite lead guitarist .

Full disclosure: I listened to half of this during work and thought it was kind of average but then I accidentally saw Jeff gave it a 5, so I decided to give it a more dedicated listen with headphones while I colored and I'm so glad I did. This album made me feel so freaking emotional, and in a wide range too. Furious, devastated, hopeless, frustrated, and always peppered in with little glimmers of beauty and hope. It is a very different album than Dark Side, but I love it equally. Pink Floyd excels at putting together an album that stands as a piece of art, and I'll definitely be giving this album a lot more ear time.

Needs more stars!

Rv

Masterpiece

It's great, but it's long and it's hard to pick out individual songs. 4.5

Seriously one of the greatest albums every made. A game changer in the music industry

Yeah, this is one of those albums with mythical status and it has its merits but sounds a bit dated and up itself now. I'd never seek it out and play any of the tracks on it. Wasn't a fan when it came out and nothing has changed since. 'Comfortably Numb' is probably the only stand out track for me.

LO AMO, este álbum cambió mi vida en la pre adolescencia, amor eterno a Pink Floyd

an absolute classic. defining member of the genre "they are singing with audibly non-american accents". goodbye blue sky--nice acoustic guitar obviously the album is very moody. probably the most so of the big floyd albums. honestly unsettling at times. ya know, these days i do not care for excessive angst. life is too short to focus on that shit. on that note, i would give this a 3/5. however, out of respect for past me that did love listening to this album in the angst-filled freshman year of college, and out of respect for pink floyd being absolute classics, i will consider giving it a 4/5.

Doesn't work for me

It's one thing to not enjoy a 26 track double album but I also just couldn't connect with any of the story and found it extremely obnoxious, I think it is a legitimate 1* for me (maybe a high one because it didn't make my ears bleed but it's just too long and too rubbish)

This is THE concept album. It's just done so well. I have a difficult time listening to individual songs from this album. I know that classic rock stations everywhere play them but it's weird to not have a lead into some of them. The entire thing is a story about a man falling apart. You feel the pain the character is going through. It's one of those albums that is best sitting down relaxing with headphones. You have to be open to listen to the story. Great album.

Ожидания были большие. 6/10

224/1089 it took forever for it to feel like it was actually going somewhere and then finally THE Another Brick Part 2 starts up I quite liked Wish You Were Here which was my first Pink Floyd album, and now having gotten through Disc 1 of this, i’m pretty certain it’ll stay my favourite for a bit longer. However, Hey You is a great start to the back half i know it’s a concept album but In The Flesh was wild i do like concept albums and it has some definite highs, i think for me it suffers a little at times where it sounds like some cringe english dad rock which has always given me a bit of the ick. (kinda like ska music) i do love when an album repeats a motif though and how theatrical it becomes. The Trial is a great final track (with Outside the Wall acting as an epilogue in my view) faves: hey you, comfortably numb, run like hell, the trial, another brick 2, goodbye blue sky 68/100

Ah yes, Pink Floyd's The Wall. Patron saint of planetarium laser shows the world over. Name a better duo than laser Floyd and college stoners. I'll wait. I mean where would that entire industry be without this album? It wouldn't survive, I'll tell you that. (Well, the lasers will always survive as long as there's cats. But you think these tripping kids want to go listen to some egg head waxing on about Jupiter? Nope.) Anyway... I've never been that big of a Floyd guy. Too many dipshits in high school losing their minds about Floyd at Ohio Stadium for me to enjoy the band. Which is why this listen has been pretty rewarding; I had low expectations. Hell I haven't heard it in decades. But I'm giving them another shot as a fully formed adult. (giving several albums from their catalog a spin) One thing I didn't take into consideration is the hooks on this disc. Holy shit there's some seriously catchy tunes on here; Another Brick has such a disco-like groove. Plus there's more anthemic melodies and cock rock guitar solos than a Tom Cruise soundtrack. Done to perfection, by the way. My natural instinct is to give this thing three stars. But when I consider how catchy I found it I think it deserves more. Then I also considered the fact that it's a concept album. And a great one at that? Five star album.

Art

Gotta love a good concept album

What can I say about The Wall that hasn't already been said? I've been familiar with this album for many years now, it was my first exposure to the idea of a Rock opera and man it is an epic one. So many iconic songs full of great guitar solos. For an album that is an hour and 20 minutes, it is really well paced and not as fatiguing as other double albums. Listened to this one on vinyl as it was one of the first albums I bought. I listen to this record fairly regularly (last time I listened it was only a little over a week ago), but it still manages to always create a memorable experience. There are some songs that feel more like filler or transitional, but that doesn't take away from the experience for me. Favorite track - Mother (This was hard to pick and I shuffled through like 6 other choices) Least Favorite track - Bring The Boys Back Home ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am just a new boy A stranger in this town Where are all the good times? Who's gonna show this stranger around? Oh, I need a dirty woman Oh, I need a dirty girl Will some woman in this desert land Make me feel like a real man? Take this rock and roll refugee Oh, babe, set me free Oh, I need a dirty woman Oh, I need a dirty girl Oh, I need a dirty woman Oh, I need a dirty girl

Clearly Iconic, but there is some filler here as well.
