The Wall

Ok. Like the album was pretty good. No notes.

I took a break from this for a while in part because this album needs attention. A really interesting and important concept album, with some all-timers in here, so it seems sacrilege to not praise However, it's not something I frequently want to listen to.

Another brick in the wall part 2 is epic, tiny bit too long of a run time but I’m obsessed with pink Floyd’s song transitions they make me want to ascend

Some all time tracks, but feel I need to knock it 1 star for all the not all time tracks included too

Mais um álbum espetacular na run absolutamente extraordinária do Pink Floyd. Gosto muito de The Wall e, para mim, ele chega muito perto de ser uma obra-prima. É grandioso, ambicioso e repleto de músicas mitológicas como “Another Brick in the Wall”, “Comfortably Numb”, “Mother” e “In the Flesh”. Meu único incômodo é que, em alguns momentos, a mensagem social e política de Roger Waters parece se sobrepor à própria sonoridade, tornando o álbum um pouco pretensioso e repetitivo em determinados temas. Ainda assim, ele consegue equilibrar essa visão autoral com uma participação muito forte de David Gilmour, algo que, para mim, faz toda a diferença quando comparado ao posterior The Final Cut, muito mais próximo de um manifesto pessoal de Waters. The Wall é um álbum monumental. Quase uma obra-prima. Assim como em The Dark Side of the Moon e Wish You Were Here, sinto que faltou apenas uma pequena lapidada para alcançar o 10/10 absoluto.

Good

Listen. We all think The Wall is a flawless, sprawling opera about the birth of a fascist, and maybe even more prescient today than in 1979, but I, for one, don't think it's worth 80 minutes. It's not bad, and earned it's spot on this list, but it is an icon of my least favorite production style: 1980s prog. It's like slow Rush. Here's the thing: Make a 13 year old listen to it. They will immediately understand what it's trying to do. If you are blown away 25 years later, you have not grown enough.

I'm always struggling with the big name Pink Floyd and the so-called "best album of...". But containing so many well-known songs ("Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2", "Young Lust", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb", Run Like Hell") for me it is definitely one of their better work. Nontheless - with 80 minutes running-time and way too many dull tracks on - "The Wall" to the five stars seems far too high for them. 3,5

Maybe overblown, but hardly self-indulgent, I certainly indulged in it over three days while I had the generator on pause. 4.5/5 Top tracks: Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, Don't Leave Me Now, Hey You, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell

Pretty great album. It’s a commitment though.

First time listening to this whole album for me. It's really good but really only works when you listen to the whole thing.

I was 15 when it came out, but the wanton rock god thing was something I already knew about, so that wasn't shocking.A lot of the older rockers seemed to want to tap into the punk rock energy. Didn't happen here. There are some amazing guitar solos and the sing/hum along recurring themes. Not my fave Floyd, but still good.

There's a 5 star single album in here.

a lot of nostalgia tied up in this for me as my dad would have pink floyd on all the time. album flows well and i wasn't bored while listening but equally 1hr20 did feel quite long, but idk how much my brain has been rotted by <20min youth crew albums

I thought this would be a slog without the visual accompaniment of the film, which is a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it. Film is still a better experience but the album is a good listen regardless and you can still get a sense of the story without the visuals.

It's the wall, man, what am I allowed to say about this. There's some incredible songwriting on this, the concept is well written and executed, and usually concept albums get the pass on some of those lamer songs because they exist to fill out the narrative. That's really my only complaint of this album is there's like 45 minutes worth of plot necessary music that only serves plot, not good music, but it's completely necessary. Feels like this could have been a really good 7-10 song album without the bloat, bloat that again I acknowledge is necessary.

Pink Floyd perfection

Good but not close to their other massive albums

Oh man need this on vinyl definitely. Sounds good but...

I’ve never actually listened to The Wall! Obviously I’ve heard a couple songs from this a million times, but Pink Floyd were never one of my bands. This is great, though! Listened to it a couple times through yesterday. First time just letting the whole thing wash over me, second time trying to pay more attention to the “story” and the repeated themes. Impressive! I gotta give them credit, even though this is a rock opera double album, it’s paced incredibly well. This feels shorter than a lot of other albums I’ve listened to for this project. One, because it’s much better, and two, probably because there’s no really indulgent 10 minute tracks on it. They break up the longer songs with a couple shorter tracks in between, so the album really moves. I was pretty struck by some beautiful songs I hadn’t heard before - “Good Bye Blue Sky” and “Vera” come to mind. In fact, the whole thing is often chiller and more vibe-based than I expected. More about moody soundscapes than hard-hitting rock n roll, which I was into. Hey! Crazy controversial opinion here, but good album!

Sclassic reminds Me of me grandaddy

7.5/10 Gotta respect the ambition. Not the best collection of songs, but I like how it really feels like a whole, lyrically, but also musically. Highlights: The Happiest Days of Our Lives Hey You Waiting for the Worms Comfortably Numb

It’s good, but frequently borders on being a bit too pompous and grandiose for my liking which is likely largely a flaw of a concept album such as this. Spots of it were also a bit too musical theatre (‘the trial’) but at its root there are just some very good songs. I think it is at its best when more restrained - ‘is there anybody out there?’, ‘goodbye blue sky’, ‘mother’. The second solo on ‘comfortably numb’ is still on another level and up there with Gilmour at his finest.

I own this album on vinyl so I put it on for a fresh listen. Wasn't an album that I "loved", so I'm glad I listened again For many groups, it's hard to follow up an album which is considered one of the greatest of all time, and the wall is no different. Yes, pink Floyd does a fantastic job orchestrating this album, following in the footsteps of other greats like the who creating a rock opera, but it feels stuffy and overbearing at times. At the same time, it feels bloated - they could've got the message across easier with fewer tracks. Overall a great album, just not one of the best of all time

het is niet pink floyd hun beste album MAAR nog steeds heel goed

In my high school years, I listened to this album hundreds of times. I don’t know if I found if necessarily deep but I was clearly fascinated by it. I knew every lyric, every interlude, every collect call from Mr Floyd for Mr Floyd. I have not listened to this album since then. When in high school I knew Dark Side, I knew the song Wish You Were Here, but I didn’t really know Pink Floyd. That is all to say, knowing their catalog better, and having lived life, this album hits completely different. I still know every lyric, there is some nostalgia but a lot is silly and indulgent. There are great songs to be sure and some of the nice moments are some of the throwaway bits, but Roger Waters is too much in control here and his vocals…why did we ever think this was a good idea? The huge saving grace remains the exemplary play of the band. I went to see The Wall when Waters toured it 15 or so years back and they needed 2 people to cover Gilmoure’s part on Comfortably Numb. In the end, a lot of good, even with a silly megalomaniac at the controls, but quite a bit behind Dark Side, WYWH, Animals and Meddle.

Favorite Track: Hey You

ну это классика - 4/5

Album Rating: 9/10 Review: This album was so good. The storytelling throughout was impeccable and you felt like you were listening to a story being told with so much emotion and passion. The best song was by far Comfortably Numb. That is easily a top 100 song I have ever heard. The only negative about this album I would say is the short songs that felt like interludes. It just felt like they kidn of halted the momentum of the good songs back to back. I get that they were transition tracks and I understand their purpose but it still feels like they were a slight hindrance to the overall quality of the album.

I've listened to this many times and I think it absolutely fits the "have to listen to before you die" description.

I like the album Lot I Do I did look up the meaning of the album en dat Made Me appreciated it more. It is about building a Brick Wall Around yourself for mental protection. Made me appreciate pink floyd more.

I’m a massive Floyd fan but this isn’t my favourite. Very uneven.

Far too long, but it’s awfully well done, even if it’s not my thing. Some of the “concept” elements (e.g., non-musical sounds) don’t really add value.

I have listened to this several times before and unlike other albums this one I have listened through from start to finish as well as I have watched the movie as well as the concert with the same name. A really good album from start to finish.

There were maybe six months in high school when this and Dark Side ... were running on a loop.

i really enjoyed it - wouldn't listen to lots of the songs by themselves but together they all worked well.

Ο Ρότζερ αρκετά κλαψιαρης, αλλά και πάλι ορισμένα εξαιρετικά κομμάτια

I simultaneously think this album is great and massively overrated. It succeeds as a concept album in many ways. It has a coherent structure with a relatively compelling narrative, and above all else, it has some amazing tracks. Where I think is album fails slightly is in its length. As a double album, a fair few tracks feel as if their main purpose is to advance the narrative rather than deliver musically. As well as that, the second disc is noticeably weaker than the first. Overall, too much meat and not enough pudding.

So much has been written about The Wall, I don't feel like I have anything useful to add -- except to say that it's not really for me. I say this as a big fan of a lot of what Pink Floyd has done over the years. Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are two of my all-time favorite albums. There's just something about The Wall that's never connected with me. Listening to it all the way through has always proved a little bit of a slog, so this might only be the 3rd or 4th time I've ever played it from start to finish. The interconnected story should be a strength, but for me it just means there are a lot of tracks that don't do much for me musically. I feel like I'm listening to the soundtrack for a stage play, and that's not something that encourages replayability for me. A song like "The Trial" is something I could happily never hear again. When the album does hit, it hits hard. Hey You, Comfortably Numb, and Run Like Hell are all excellent... Comfortably Numb in particular is one of my favorite songs of all-time. I understand why Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 is so well-loved, but it's never really ranked for me when I consider Pink Floyd's best. I feel like I enjoy this album at no more than a 3... but it's much too accomplished and has far too high of highs to get a middling score. But I have to save full marks for albums I enjoy without reservations.

great album with amazing songs tho certainly not my favourite pink floyd album

Great voice Simbólico Instrumental The guitar another level

Classic album. Bit too long and drawn out in places.

'Comfortably Numb' saab alati olema üks parimaid kitarrisoolosid, mida ma kuulnud olen, aga ausalt öeldes ei ole ülejäänud album nii meeldejääv. The Wall albumina on rohkem atmosfäärne kuulamiskogemus kui enamus albumeid ja ta kuvab kindlat emotsiooni. Pink Floyd sonifitseerib depressiooni paremini kui emo muusika. See on vastukaaluks minu enne antud kriitikale. Ma pean ütlema, et mind häirib veidi solisti rääkimise hääl, aga eks võib olla, et ta tahtis ka, et see oleks selline veidi ebamugavust tekitav, tegu pole ju rõõmsa albumiga. Album sobis oma särtsuvaba olemuse ja kohati lootusetu lüürika poolest hästi optika protokollide tegemise taustamuusikaks. Üks laul, mida ma enne ei tundnud, mis mulle kõrva jäi oli 'Hey You'. Edit: See on meeldetuletus, miks ma pean lugema vikipeedia artikkleid enne kui ma kuulan albumit. Album, mis on niigi kuulamiskogemus oleks seda veelgi enam kui oleksin lugenud enne läbi selle storylinei, mis laude sisse punutud on. Ma olin kooli põhjal alati arvanud, et another brick in the wall on lugu sellest, kuidas koolisüsteem võtab ära laste individuaalsuse, aga selgub, et selle loo kontekstis on tegu ka kirjeldusega sellest, kuidas peategelane müürib end aina ära teistest inimestest. Sajad miljonid on leidnud kontakti ühe vaevatud väljamõeldud rokkstaariga.

A very good album. It’s almost a 5, but it doesn’t reach the same level of superiority as Dark Side, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t connect as much with the overall concept. It’ll remain a high 4. Run Like Hell is probably my favourite Pink Floyd song. What a banger.

I know this one quite well. I've always had a bit of a thing with double albums; the vast, vast majority of them can usually be shaved down to one incredible album. In most cases, there's a decent amount of filler on even the best ones. It wouldn't really be practical to do in the case of this one, since there's a story to be told, but even with The Wall I find myself enjoying side one MUCH more than side two.

Pretty cool songs. Some have very loud sounds, and some are not really songs (?) but nice overall. 8/10. Favs: Another brick in the wall pt.2 + goodbye blue sky.

I knew pink floyd from the great gig in the sky, amazing discography. More on instrumentals less lyrics on this album, but overall pink floyd is one of the most influential rock bands oat. 9.4/10

Step down from their other work but still has strong songs

the story the album was telling was genuinely so beautiful, the rock sound of it wasn't something I usually listen to but I did enjoy it a lot. I recommend if ur listing to this album for the first time definitely check out some analysis videos before you give it a listen.

Un album que simplemente toda persona debe escuchar una vez en su vida

a bit overrated. Think it's 3rd or 4th time i've listened to it

A classic album. There are several good tracks on this record that show the depth of the band's abilities. Comfortably Numb might be my favorite Pink Floyd track ever.

The Wall es un muy buen álbum en el cual Floyd demuestra su calidad técnica y músical, más no siento que las voces se destacan mucho pero en definitiva lo conceptual del album (que me lo tuvo que explicar mi papá mejor) es lo que vuelve a este álbum histórico

Never listened to this album when I was growing up.

Real https://www.reddit.com/r/im14andthisisdeep/ material and I say that lovingly because I loved this album at that age. Now I can see it as a bit self-indulgent for Roger Waters but when was late 70's / early 80's Pink Floyd not?

4⭐️/5 [06.08.2026] 06.09.2026

C'est top, mais c'est long Mais c'est hyper top

Comment s'attaquer à ce véritable mastodonte, ce vrai mur ? The Wall c'est tout et rien, c'est les meilleurs chansons de Pink Floyd (ou de l'histoire ?) et aussi les pires, c'est du concept prétentieux et du génie magistral. Maiiiis c'est loin d'être leur meilleur album. Sans surprise mes contributions favorites ici sont celles de Gilmour, loin des pleurnichements bruyants de Waters (je rigole). Il n'a pas la cinquième étoile parce qu'elle sera plus méritée par ses ainés. Playlist pick : Young Lust

10/10 TODO EL ÁLBUM, NO SKIPS. Favorita: young lust, mother, goodbye blue sky (todavía me faltan algunas canciones que terminar) but so far so good

This is an iconic album, "Mother", "Another Brick in the Wall", "The Show Must Go On" and "Run Like Hell" are incredible.

I don’t think I’ve ever properly listened to Pink Floyd before, but I like it! Some of the more moody/artsy ones are interesting (like Don’t Leave Me Now), but once they get going I’m definitely into it. Goodbye Blue Sky is a fave from the first half. Hey You has an absolutely killer guitar riff - very cool. Comfortably Numb is another fave - basically anything with a good riff. Overall, a bit theatrical for my tastes, but I can respect the talent and quality in the music.

3.5

Some of it was a bit theatrical for me, but overall good, and comfortably numb and another brick in the wall are bangers

Undeniably a great album. It deserves five stars on the merits, but I don’t think I’d choose to listen to the whole thing on the regular. I do love Comfortably Numb.

йоо пінк флойд сюди

La storia che racconta mi é piaciuta molto, non é proprio il mio genere preferito peró qualche canzone me la riascolteró nei prossimi giorni

Very cool, but I forgot most of it

second most iconic floyd album, not my favourite by any means but a comfort album for me. comfortably numb is top 5 floyd songs and the story telling on this album is superb. lots of filler unfortunately to make that story cohesive.

Chalk this up as another album I have actually never listened to. I knew Another Brick in the Wall and my neighbour's mum had this when I was a teen. So I remember hearing bits of it. What an album. Yes, maybe it was a bit pretentious but it's also really listenable and tells a good story.

geniales Konzeptalbum, aber nicht Pink Floyds bestes. Zu lang, zu viele Skits

Timeless.

Shit me i LOVE a concept album literally just give me concepts all day long. First time listening to a pink Floyd album and i will so be going back through their other albums as soon as i can, brill stuff

I really want to complain about how insanely long this album is but unfortunately it is really great

Es pink floyd

positives: - rock operas are cool - prog rock is cool - it sounds nice - your dad's fav song is on it - wacky cheesy drama - guitar solos!!! guitar solos!!! - very long negatives: - your dad's fav song is on it - wacky cheesy drama - guitar solos!!! guitar solos!!! - very long roger waters is completely up himself but it's still one of my favourites like doug walker I'll listen to it so you don't have to

It is nice to finally experience what is considered one of the best concept albums of all time. I consider it: pretty OK! Very pleasent prog through-out, and nice to follow along with the story-telling.

Bra Mangler struktur

Despite being one of the great concept albums, I don't think this is quite 5-star Floyd for me. Some great songs to be sure - side 3 as a mini-album would be 5 stars in and of itself, starting with Hey You and ending with Comfortably Numb, just epic. Some great guitar solos. Other songs here I don't care for as much, like Young Lust - I definitely like Floyd at there moodiest and most atmospheric, rather than the rockier/funkier parts. It's a little long, but the story is pretty good as the narrator moves through childhood trauma, into a mental breakdown, and back out. I think it's good to very good, maybe just not great.

Cómo cuesta ser objetiva!

Bro, 2 horas y media de álbum? Se pasaron ustedes. Tiene canciones icónicas. Dura muchísimo y suena al fin de temporada de una serie. No lo amo pero no lo odio.

Très bon album des pink floyd mais loin d'être mon préféré. 1) Comfortably numb 2) Hey you 3) In the flesh Quelques creux pour moi mais album est excellent. L'ambiance et la cohérence tout au long de l'album permettent une immersion incroyable pour l'auditeur

C'était un très bon album mais je trouve que dans le global il manque un chouille de pétanque pour devenir un 5

J'imagine que Pink Floyd est encore un groupe donc Robert Dimery est méga fan et on va avoir droit à 3000 albums. Bon, au moins, c'est un groupe que j'aime beaucoup. Je ne connaissais pas encore The Wall, à part la chanson que tout le monde connaît, au point que ça ne sert à rien que je la cite. Le reste était une découverte pour moi. C'est un album qui raconte une histoire, donc pour en profiter, il est nécessaire de suivre un petit peu la narration pour comprendre l'album dans ses moindres détails et de façon globale, je pense que c'est un album qui s'apprécie pleinement après plein d'écoutes donc moi que je l'ai écouté que cette fois, je pense que je n'en ai pas encore chopé toute la substantifique moelle. Cela dit, c'était quand même une écoute super cool, l'heure vingt est passée très vite. C'est du Pink Floyd bien dans son époque de la fin des années 70, au niveau des sonorités, de la prod, tout ce que tu veux. On passe par de nombreuses émotions, à mesure que le personnage se ferme de plus en plus au monde, à mesure que ses traumatismes s'accumulent, jusqu'au pétage de câble final, où il se prend pour une sorte de dictateur fasciste en plein concert. C'est super riche, il se passe plein de choses, Pink Floyd continue d'évoluer et de se réinventer. Pour beaucoup, c'est le meilleur album du groupe. Perso, je mettrais toujours Wish You Were Here devant, mais ça reste un sacré morceau et je pense qu'à partir du moment où je l'aurai acheté, je ne ferai que l'apprécier de plus en plus.

Start of the album not great. End of 1st disc is great! Especially Another Brick pt 3 into goodbye cruel world. Another brick Pt 2 sucks. Comfortably numb is great. In the flesh is very on the nose but potent. The Wall by Pink Floyd is certainly a potent album. It's also certainly a good album. But I'm not sure if it's a great album. For one this album is long, really long and there are many songs on there that I don't think sound good or serve the narrative. That being said there are certain songs on here that truly stand the test of time and ring even more true for our modern society than it did for the one Pink Floyd lived in. I would've like more of those and less of the rest Fav Songs: Comfortably Numb (HM: Another Brick Pt. 3 into goodbye cruel world. Least Fav: Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2

yeah, so i should listen to this album again in the future, but huh

Wish You Were Here & Meddle > The Wall

One of the first concept albums I can think of. Pink Floyd was pioneering in the practice of making albums like this and this entire saga spelled out in album form has produced some bangers of individual tracks as well as a cohesive experience to listen all the way through.

Definitely a theatrical performance. Altogether I thought it was a really interesting listen. Charismatic, and over the top are words that come to mind. In terms of individual songs, though, I found it hard to pick out specifics that would enter my playlist as songs that I wouldn't end up skipping each time because their one their own type of timing. I still really enjoyed it but don't know what to do now. Might re visit and try to pick out singles that I liked

Goddamn I was obsessed with this album when I was in junior high and discovering that music could be transcendent art, there was a couple months where I listened to this and a few other PF albums ad nauseam. But I haven’t revisited this album in over 6 years, I moved on to other music because I listened to it so often I was never really hankering for another taste. I was expecting to sour on this a lot with this relisten due to my distaste of 70s classic rock in many cases, but I’m glad to report that this still is an astonishing musical achievement. Maybe not masterpiece material for me anymore, the story is a bit of a mess and rushes to the end. I think the turn from the album exploring Pink’s retreat into himself and his self-destruction to him becoming a neo-nazi are disparate to say the least. If this was a clean two hours I think there could have been more time spent with the idea of him finding comfort in fascism because he associates it with his childhood, or exploring how his complete isolation and rejection of the world easily manifests into vile individualist hatred. The Trial also strangely does not count Pink leading a British nationalist fascist rally as among his crimes, just his personal shit, odd. I guess he didn’t feel all that bad about it. Anyways, I think the two halves can work and should work together, In The Flesh is legitimately a disturbing song, especially in our current age of right-wing grifters. The first three sides though are well paced and honestly create a complete story, if it ended with Outside the Wall after Comfortably Numb it would work just as well even without the story detour. Although I get it, side four has Run Like Hell and The Trial, I wouldn’t want to get rid of those either I guess. I really thought I would’ve outgrown this prog rock opera shit by now but something about Floyd still grabs me, the Gilmour solos still take me away. Oh also I thought I hated Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 but I realize now that I actually just hate it when it is played outside of this album. Hey You should get played out in the wild more, that works much better as a standalone song.

I love me some Floyd - this isn't my favourite album but it is still great

Sorry, can't help it I think of Shamu during "Run Like Hell." This album is great but just a smidge too long. 4/5

An amazing epic! Leagues ahead of earlier rock operas on this list, to which the Wall owes some credit (I’m reconsidering my rating of Tommy). The songs are varied but mostly tight. The sound quality production bass playing and guitar are all stellar. Really good story telling too. But, it’s not a 5 — it’s hard for rock operas to maintain the highest level of musicality while still advancing the plot. There are narrative pieces and the unremitting darkness and cynicism of the vibe that would prevent me from playing this album on repeat. Great double album — a major accomplishment, but not coming to the desert island with me. A solid 4.

We hebben wel educatie nodig is dit propaganda hahaha grapjes

1001 albums to hear before you say goodbye blue sky 99# its big ainnit. thats mostly what drags me out of it and i really didn't appreciate a lot of it. Of course it's a hell of a record history-wise.

no escuché todo pero lo que escuché me gustó. si me parece que es muy largo y no escucharía todo devuelta

An excellent, chill vibe album. Not as great as Dark Side, but very, very good.

какой крутой низкий голос у вокалиста. концептуально и претензиозно. но долго ппц.

sort of the classic “we live in a society” album. but you know what…they did live in a society so they’re allowed to say so. i think there’s a lot of really valid anguish in this album and the concept format really heightens those feelings even if the metaphors are a little hamfisted at times. i didn’t remember how theatrical the ending was so that was pretty unexpected for me. it worked well with the recurring motifs throughout the album so i appreciated how much it fulfilled its intended rock opera format. even ignoring the format or concept, there are some pretty good bangers here so i enjoyed myself! Fav tracks: Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2; Mother; Hey You; Comfortably Numb

A tried-and-true classic: a little rock-y, a little ethereal, a little experimental, a little cinematic.

Love how the same musical themes continue through the whole album

Tá. Controversial mas é meu álbum menos favorito deles. Nonetheless, muito bom.

It’s Pink Floyd!

Pretty classic album. Only negative for me is the length.

Rounding up to a 4. This one is a little too long but it has a lot of bangers

A classic innit. Maybe disingenuous to give it a 5, but I wanted to. 4/5 in the end. Would be nine of ten.

I thought I would dislike this album due to the fact that i disliked the first 7 tracks but it was actually a really good album. I quite like disc 2 better than disc 1; favourites were one of my turns, hey you, comfortably numb, don't leave me now and waiting for the worms.

man it's so long. i'll listen to the whole thing some other time

I can't remember the last time I listened to this. It was even better than the last time I did.

Good album, just not as good as DSotM

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.

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

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.

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

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,

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

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.

Le mur des lamentations

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Real cool and fascinating

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, BIG CLAPS FOR MA MAN PINKY PINK

Pretty good

Klassikko. Pirun toimiva.

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.

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...

amazing!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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"

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

"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.

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!

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

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

Great album.

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.

Great album. Probably their 4th best.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

🥰❤️ 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

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

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.

Ожидания были большие. 6/10

Art

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

Me agrada, aún quiero seguir escuchando el álbum :)

El concepto del álbum es interesante y llamativo, pero no lo es un álbum que me apetezca escuchar a menudo. Aunque existen temas buenos, la verdad es que muchos de ellos no los puedo escuchar de forma individual debido al concepto del álbum, lo qué para mí lo hace decaer un poco. Entiendo que el álbum se ideó con la idea de escucharlo de corrido, pero me gustaría que tenga más temas para escuchar de forma individual a parte de los poquisimos que tiene.

I liked this more than I expected. 4. Some awesome songs and the album feeds one song into the next so well.

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Another Brick In The Wall Pts. 1, 2, Goodbye Blue Sky, Is Anybody Out There?, Comfortably Numb It's a fantastic album. The track transitions are seamless; the music is fresh, exciting, varied and somehow still familiar. The guitar playing is on-point. The story being told is interesting and prescient. I think my only real complaint is that some of the skits (should they be called skits?) sort of draw out the length of the album to levels where you start antsy for the album to end, but then bam another banger track comes on and you're good for another 15 minutes :) Definitely not as good as Dark Side or Wish You Were Here. Its just too long, even if its telling a cohesive story.

Got this on vinyl!

I like it!!

Stellar album.

in the flesh brings a really intense beginning to the album which definitely gives a big starting point for Pink Floyd to shape the other songs. Thin ice being a slower song really draws attention to itself and it reminds me of Elton John a little... the songs in this album are very diverse and it also contradicts the morals at the time with the impact of rock that changed the way people saw music

Water wailing about mommy and daddy and the rest of his hangups. (Poor Gilmour! Can't have been his proudest moment voicing "mommy.") The album sounds great nonetheless, but if it is so it is probably in spite of this trite "concept" than because of it.

Är team Gilmour, och hans lite sävliga, subtila och eleganta stil. Ljudet är leadgitarrernas heliga graal. Har en mycket rik bekant i Djursholm som trots bristfällig gitarrskicklighet lagt ner en förmögenhet på pedaler för att försöka fuska till sig gilmours ton. Ett nästan bibliskt fåfängt försök till genväg som fortfarande inte lyckats. Det faktum att man lite varstans hör hur outhärdlig Roger waters kan vara drar ner helheten lite. I synnerhet hans tillgjorda skriksång. Men jävlar vad man uppskattar konceptalbum med tydliga genomgående ledmotiv. Föredrar skiva 2, och såklart de spår där gilmour varit mer delaktig. 4,5/5

All we are is just another brick in the wall ... The Wall is very long, 150 minutes is an adventure for sure.

Dark Side of the Moon wins, but pretty good. Seemed like some filler tracks to fill out the double album

Listened to this growing up - still great

-this is such a cool album -I keep imagining the imagery in the movie when listening to this which adds a lot in my opinion -I need to look into the background behind this album again because that also adds a lot

When they breach out da acoustic I go :O, better than previous listens and nice to sit through Highlights: "Mother", "Goodbye Blue Sky", "Is There Anybody Out There?", "Comfortably Numb"

Classic, but flawed.

I am *intimately* familiar with this album. I've heard it like dozens of times, perhaps for the worst, but still. I understand the scope, and the narrative ambition of The Wall, but I honestly have some problems with it. But it is still a really great album. The narrative of the album chronicles a rock-star as he shuts himself off from the world due to a trauma and the ensuing process of escaping this "wall". The narrative is pretty compelling and, most impressively, can be more or less pulled out of the music in-tact. I will say that it kind of ends up feeling a *little* like an ego project, but it is definitely more than that. The songs themselves are pretty great across this whole project. But at the length that The Wall is, there are a few tracks that feel like filler. But that may come with the theatrical territory. Speaking of which: one small underlying problem for this whole project is that I just prefer spacier Floyd, and just don't think these theatrical elements are always able to fill the gap there. Although Another Brick In The Wall 2, and Comfortably Numb are some of Pink Floyd's greatest songs. I like this album more than it sounds like, The Wall is an achievement, but I just have some problems with it that keep it from being quite up with my favorite Floyd.

It overstays it's welcome. It's the weakest big 4 Floyd album. I'd even argue that Meddle is stronger. For every amazing song you have 5 mid songs. Still I can not go below a 4, just for Another Brick in The Wall pt 2. Also I must say I need to watch the movie.

No as good as Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. But still good one.

Was quite good

Great effort by Bob Ezrin

Gran álbum. Como me gustan sus solos de guitarra.

I like Pink Floyd for their high-quality sound. This album is no exception; the sound quality is excellent. Unlike the lengthy albums of the CD era, it has a convincing length.

I wonder why much of the album isn’t available on Spotify? Anyhoo, this is a classic, and I always enjoy it. A little ahead of my time, but still really good.

A really solid album, filled with interesting yet highly enjoyable classic songs with a few songs that I found myself wanting to skip. I don’t know if I would pick it over Dark Side of The Moon, but it still has some stand out hits. Pink Floyd has been an enjoyable listen for me since I was a teenager, and while not every song on this album was a hit for me, I still enjoyed it overall.

I hold a fairly strong opinion that any double album would be improved by trimming down a few songs to single. This doesn't totally disabuse me of the notion, but it makes a strong case for that extra run time. It's big, ambitious, and is a constant surprise in audio form. I think it might still be better if it was shorter, but I enjoyed those 80 minutes.

This is a double album, and there are several popular (i.e., radio stations play them a lot) tracks here. Even though I never have been a major Pink Floyd fan, I did appreciate this record more than expected. And this is yet another band where the members don’t get along, although they have reunited many times.

Fav: goodbye blue sky 4.5/5

I have different feelings about this album every time I hear it. On balance a 4

I listened to the first half of this album as I was folding laundry, and the second half as I was resting on the couch, in a suburban apartment in the United States of America in the year 2026. This is one of the first albums I inherently knew would be on this list without a doubt; it is THE rock opera concept album, it was a almost guaranteed. I had seen glimpses of the performances which accompanies this album, and was under the impression it was strictly about fascism and/or rebellion against authoritarianism (hearing lyrics about somebody running for president and insisting they need to "build a wall" set off a lot of unfortunate alarm bells in my head), only to be pleasantly surprised by the incredibly personal and introspective reality of the project. The Wall wound up being right up alley, as an analysis of the struggles and turmoil of a performer in the public eye, which is a topic I often find to be incredibly compelling in any form of art. Capturing this idea through a very compelling metaphor, catchy hooks and lyrics, and instrumentation that gets stuck in your head and smoothly moves from one track to the next, The Wall has me completely bought in; if disc one were its own album, I'd give it a 5. However, the final quarter of the album does lose me; from Run Like Hell on, I feel like the songwriting loses a lot of the personal emotion and introspection which I found so compelling, and The Trial leans a little too theatrical for it to feel like a fitting conclusion to me. While the ending does feel a little dull, the highs here are still incredibly high, and I completely agree that The Wall deserves all of the acclaim that it receives. Highlights: In The Flesh?, The Thin Ice, Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 1, Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2, Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, One of My Turns, Don't Leave Me Now, Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3, Goodbye Cruel World, Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There?, Nobody Home, Vera, Comfortably Numb, The Show Must Go On, In the Flesh

First disc is incredible. Second disc has more experimental songs, however still insanely good, bare in mind it contains one of my favourite songs.

Incredible. Loved the storytelling. I thought a few of the songs on a standalone basis weren’t amazing, which it’s why it’s only getting a 4. However, this is one of my favourites from Pink Floyd

I mean, it's The Wall. Epic, genre defining, with a message. Not my favorite, but respect.

It was good for 70s

I feel like we should watch the movie. Last time was as a teenager

Good concept album. As a whole, it was a good listen.

1/30/26: idk man it's good but dare I say slightly overrated. 7/10

white boy's goodnight punpun

GUEST REVIEW Teddy, my Pug. Upon turning on the album the first few seconds, his ears perked left and right. He does not seem to care for this. For Another Brick 1 & 2 he barked with the child voices. Generally just seemed chill & relaxed during the solos. He did not care for the beeps in the intro to Mother, but started to have an errection. So that's a thing that happened. He is quite the Momma's Boy though. He seems to mostly annoyed & seems to respond to voices & odd sounds. His nap is beginning. It will not be a very good nap as we are listening to The Wall. Not Napping. He can barely last through Young Lust. Lazy pug! He awoke after the next track & he ate a chip. Still not amused by the music. Back to sleep. Doesn't seem to like to Don't Leave Me Now as seemed to shudder a few times & lots of brow wiggles up & down. Seemed to listen to a whole verse of Hey You & went back to sleep. He woke up. That seems to his favorite song, I guess. He seems like the slow strumming parts. Nobody Home he perks up and is reacting to the sound effects & voices rather than the music. We took a break & went outside. Teddy decided to dig in the snow by The Fence. I wonder where he's getting these defiant ideas from. Certainly not Pink Floyd. He also took a dump. Then started digging by fence again. Then ran away when I tried to stop him. We went back in. He seems disinterested in this & is back at attempting to nap. We're still listening to The Wall. He doesn't seem to understand that double albums tend to be bloated & long. Especially rock operas. Because, well, he's a pug dog. All he wants to do is sleep. Little to no reaction to Comfortably Numb other than disinterest & sleepiness. MY SHORT SWEET REVIEW: I don't believe double albums can be perfect albums (5 star album) They tend to be bloated & over indulgent. Which is of course the problem with The Wall. I thought the Wall would be the exception but like The Pumpkins: Melon Collie & The Beatles' infamous White Album, the bloat seems to win. It's so close but no cigar. That doesn't mean it's not brilliant. I know this album, I love this album. Hence the reason I had my pug dog review it. For a different perspective. Also, Teddy got treats. Lots of em.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this. I'm not a big classic rock guy in general, and what with having heard a bunch of these songs so many times over the years on classic rock radio, I wasn't expecting to really get into this album. Boy, was I wrong! This truly took me on a journey. The production was really unique, in that it didn't feel like a modern recording in any way, and yet it still felt relevant and important. Definitely not dated at all. The songwriting was really good, and even the songs I've heard a million times just made more sense with their place in the tracklisting. I wish I could have listened with the lyrics to get the sense of the full story, but I was working and that just wasn't an option. I really enjoyed this. A pleasant surprise.

solid 4

Percebe se por que sao uma banda iconica

Such a great band. In the same double album you may find great songs like Comfortably numb, The wall, or Young lust. Other songs are not as great, but the album has an overall nice sound, great guitars and dreamy and troubled feeling.

ooo i liked this!

crazy how it seems like everyone loves the wall and yet there are still so many boot lickers out there. anywho…acab, fuck ice, and free palestine.

Natürlich ein Brecher. Das Konzept (vor allem instrumentaler Seite) überzeugt mich dennoch nicht 100%. Da passen andere Pink Floyd Platten besser.

Thats pretry good, it got such emotions, a classic one. It got another brick in the wall, hey you and comfortable numb, wich is amazing songs. The only problem worth to comment is the duration of the album... boy, thats too long, making you eventully get tired of it.

Great albums. Timeless

Enjoyed it and found a couple new songs but don’t think I would seek it out

Much more operatic and theatrical than I would've assumed going into it knowing next to nothing. Very dense and grand, with some fun Bowie-isms that I enjoyed quite a bit.

I recognized a lot ore than I expected. If only better audio technology was available back then...

Like most fairweather Pink Floyd fans, I know the "hits," but whenever I listen to this as a whole concept album, I appreciate it much differently.

Good story and mix of instrumentals.

it had taken me awhile to get into pink floyd because their music is....something. after listening to this album, I realize they're not artist that you can listen to on shuffle. i'm a changed and evolved woman. favorites: the happiest day...; goodbye blue sky; young lust; don't leave me now

Felt a little uneasy at some points during the songs. I had a feeling of “war” or “machinery” while listening to the album. Very nice A classic

Listen man, I love Pink Floyd, I really do, but this one never connected with me in the same way as Dark Side or WYWH. I would even go as far as to say it’s probably my fifth favorite album by them. It’s just a little too long and I don’t think it really sticks the landing in the same way as an Eclipse or Echoes. That’s not say it isn’t great. It absolutely is. The transition between The Happiest Days Of Our Lives and Pt 2 is amazing still.

Classic album, great concept.

I head some David Bowie type sounds in some of the tracks and enjoyed the iconic hits that everyone knows by heart.

Подзатянули историю, но все равно целиком слушается прикольно

Not my favourite Pink Floyd album, but obviously pretty great if you like them. It is very long as well.

Iconic album

Ambitious and entertaining

This would be a great single disc album. I knew more songs on this than I expected to. Too much Rogers Waters’ dominance throughout. Need more David Gilmore songwriting contributions. Comfortably Numb is achingly beautiful — words by Waters, music by Gilmour. Wright and Mason had minor roles. The beginning of the end for this great group. Still pretty good stuff, though. No commercially available surround stream or blu-ray available, sadly.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this before, I just know the big songs through cultural osmosis (ABITW, mother, hey you, comfortably numb, run like hell). But, pretty good

Album #1 January 12th 2026 Favorite Song: Comfortably Numb This is a cool album. It goes through a mix of things, seeming to start with abuse in education, then moving to a lustful age, then an unstable mental state, then a cry for help, then a state of acceptance. The instrumental music is great, all of the guitar parts just sound so good and everything fits together so well. I did really enjoy the "non instrumental" parts of the music. For example, when they would add screaming to some of the songs or talking in the background that wasn't necessarily lyrical. Another part of this album that I thought was really cool was the transitions between songs, for majority of them, if I wasn't reading the lyrics while listening I wouldn't have known a new song had come on. Overall this whole album told a story and especially near the end you could tell. The second to last song "The Trial" seemed to come straight out of a play. This was a long album but I would say it was worth it. I would rate this a solid 8.5/10.

Very surreal in some places and I like the idea of a metaphorical wall being built to shelter the main character

Classic! It’s an album you have to listen in order from start to finish

Pink Floyd is always a safe bet. The Wall is not a Pink Floyd favorite (behind Dark Side of the Moon and Whish You Were Here), but its an enjoyable listen.

I liked the storytelling and progressive/creative style. Favorites: The Thin Ice, Goodbye Blue Sky

Really good album. Hadn't heard The Wall before and although different from what I'm used to from Pink Floyd, definitely interesting ideas and sounds. Reminded me a lot of Queen's albums

Works as an album, works as single songs too. I love the recurring chords running through the whole album. Quite long for an album would be my main problem. If this album was kept shorter, wouldve been a 5 for sure. The blueprint of storytelling through an album.

great album

Album 2/1001. Listened 1/7/2026. The whole thing is an experience not to be forgotten. I don't love every minute of it, but I can listen to it again and again and enjoy it.

Prog rock is a weird one isn’t it? Most of it is shite but Pink Floyd are good. It’s like not really being into horror films but enjoying the Exorcist. I didn’t need to hear Another Brick In Wall three times though, even if it is a toon. And Comfortably Numb is a stone cold banger. Simpsons: Yes

Love it. Not quite a 5 though.

I didn't even notice how long this album was so evidently it wasn't boring in the slightest. Obviously the clue is in the name but I loved the constant references to 'the wall', be it in many different ways. The storytelling is brilliant, particularly of course with 'another brick in the wall' 1, 2 and 3, 'the trial'. I still feel that there is something missing from this that I'd need to give it a 5.

Second half of this album has to have been inspired by Tim Curry’s brilliant rendition of ‘I’m Going Home’

Didn't finish but liked what I heard

I liked this album, it was an interesting concept. I liked the mix of media (ex phone calls and children’s choir). The instrumentals shined. A bit long for me, and felt like it sort of dragged.

There's no denying that this is an exceptional album - every song is perfectly tied together and plays a vital role to the overall identity. I think the continuity (cohesive narrative and motifs throughout) is what makes this so stand out in terms of craftsmanship and ambition - few others can create such a smooth integration and fusion of different musical styles into a single album. I admire Pink Floyd's skill in every way but that doesn't mean it has to be my favorite type of music and whilst I do enjoy occasional listens there are other albums I prefer.

found this a bit overwhelming. It’s a bit ambitious too. dare I call it a cocaine album? theatrical but it’s not glamorous in any way.

Not the best Pink Floyd album but still a damn good one. It's just long and scattered as shit but has some banger throughout like Hey You and Another Brick in the Wall Pt.2 along with Comfortably Numb.

7.5 Très bon album mais sûrement qu’il me touche moins je le réécouterai moins facilement que les autres mai de très très bon sons dedans

While listening to The Wall, it came to my attention that I am not 100% sure I have ever listened to this entire album all the way through. First, it is a double album, which always increases the degree of difficulty in some ways to listen all the way through. Second, it is a "concept album" and those of you who I am sure have read all of my reviews know that I generally do not like concept albums, as I feel they are overblown and the music takes a backseat to the "story" being told in the songs. If I can't listen to a song outside of the concept of the album then I tend to not enjoy that song/album as much. Because I am a living human being with access to a radio, I have heard Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2 more than I have heard possibly any other Pink Floyd songs. This is a really good album, even if I don't love the talking and whole bizarre insistence on having yelling on certain songs to further "the plot." Absolutely worth a listen and it has more individual songs I like than Dark Side of the Moon does, but I enjoy that album on the whole more.

An epic album, one of the best concept albums ever done.

I mean this is kind of the quintessential Pink Floyd album and I love Pink Floyd so going to be a high score. It's also the most overplayed album of theirs and probably near the bottom of the list for Pink Floyd albums for me. I love this album but am least likely to put it on.

Pink Floyd never disappoints. Their albums are not a set of songs, but a story told in chapters, and the wall definitely lives up to that. Of course, songs like Comfortably Numb and Another Brick In The Wall pt2 stand out as beautiful powerful songs, but I think Goodbye Cruel World and Mother deserve more attention than they get. All in all, one of the peak works of Pink Floyd. 8/10

Det er vanskelig å sette seg ned og høre gjennom et album som er så ikonisk, så omtalt at man allerede har en formening før man har startet avspilling. Jeg ble rørt til tårer av å høre Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2 i kontekst av albumet. Det er noe med et band som er så stort som lager storslått kunst i forsvar av barna. Min favoritt er disk 2, med Is There Anybody Out There? og Nobody Home. Favorittspor: Comfortably Numb, Is There Anybody Out There, Nobody Home I've got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen-hand blues I've got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from I've got electric light, and I've got second sight I've got amazing powers of observation // Does anybody else here feel the way I do?

A classic.

I'm sounding like a broken record the further into this challenge we go, but I'll still say it anyway: how do you review an album like The Wall? in this case, it's not just because we're talking about one of the best-selling albums of all time, but also because it's one of the most culturally significant albums of the past several decades; it was a big enough deal to get adapted into a film which, in the eyes of some, is even better than the album it's based on! my mom used to go to midnight screenings of it in college all the time, and she first showed it to me as a kid (although she stood in front of the TV and fast-forwarded through the more salacious bits). I'm not really going to get too far into the narrative or themes of either the album or film, since you can find plenty of coverage of both, and this is supposed to be a series of (relatively) short and snappy reviews anyway. so, how do I feel? personally, I do think that a lot of the material here, especially on the second disc, is elevated quite a bit through the addition of visuals, and doesn't stand up as well without that component. it's usually the more interstitial tracks: "The Thin Ice", "Empty Spaces", "One Of My Turns", "Another Brick in the Wall Part 3", "Nobody Home", "Bring the Boys Back Home". "Stop", et cetera. even if they do serve the function of keeping things moving along to the more consequential tracks (they often sound really cool), I often find myself wishing they were more fleshed-out from a compositional perspective. you can also hear Roger Waters really start to assert himself as the leader of Pink Floyd, which can often make the contributions from its other members feel more subservient than I would like (especially from keyboardist Richard Wright, who was actually fired during the album's sessions and retained as a mere session/touring musician). but, hey, at least Waters' egomania isn't nearly as bad here as it is on The Final Cut! thankfully, the more consequential tracks still stand as some of Pink Floyd's best, and they're the thing that really keeps me locked in from one end to the other. both takes of "In the Flesh(?)", "Another Brick... Part 2", "Mother", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb" and "Run Like Hell" really make it worth listening to The Wall in full at least a few times; I love a good David Gilmour solo as much as the next guy. but after that, I think you're better off watching the film. the animated parts in particular are so cool. just stay far away from Nostalgia Critic's The Wall and you're good to go. light 7/10.

quite long but I enjoyed

3,5

I really love comfortably numb and the solo is like the best one in the history of the guitar, but some songs I wish were b sides. And it really feels like there is no Rick magic here. But overall good album, behind animals, wish, moon

3.8 stars

8.3/10

this album reminded me of listening to 97.1 the river when i was a kid. hey you would scare me tbh. also ,was i supposed to listen to disc 1 + 2??? the entire thing is a creative masterpiece. they were most def fueled by blow and psychedelics while writing this album. best tracks: young lust, hey you and comfortably numb (duh)

Anything I could possibly say about this album as a 27-year-old in 2025 feels frivolous. Listening to The Wall creates a visual montage of every band after 1979 that will be inspired by Pink Floyd. I prefer the theatrics of the A Side. Fave songs: In the Flesh?, The Happiest Days of Our Lives-> Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2, The Trial

Lives up to its iconic status. Also has some of the annoying trappings of many concept albums that stop it from being a stone cold masterpiece.

Amazing, but not best Pink Floyd album by far

My favorite Floyd album

My previous review from before I was in the group: Perhaps could do without a couple of the ajoining interlude tracks but on the whole, lots of epic sprawling prog to be had. Don’t think I’ve listened to this in full before.. it’s a journey!

I can’t quite justify a 5 but this includes some incredible classics and shows how you do a concept album.
