I think it's possible I've never listened to this in its entirety before. It was good but I actually didn't love how it keeps revisiting the same thematic tune over and over. I'm sure there's a narrative here, but I wasn't following it. Overall though, it's a good album that *might* grow on me over time. 3.49/5
The Wall has never been my favorite Floyd album. I typically put on Animals, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon or Meddle when I'm in a Pink Floyd mood. But listening to it in its entirety for the first time in probably decades, I was surprised by how much I still do like it. The thing that used to turn me off was the pretty clear shift to hearing more of Waters or Gilmours writing styles, where previous records things sounded more collaborative. But my tastes have shifted a lot over the years and Waters songs that I used to not enjoy I actually really liked on this listen through. So it's climbed from a 3 to a 4+, and I could see it eventually becoming a 5 for me on subsequent listens. 4.4/5
