Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  The WallWhen I first heard the disc one of the album, cause my dad has it, I really like it. All of the songs are really cool, this is not an album like most of other albums, that 3 songs are cool and the other okay, no, all of this songs are greats pieces of music well done. The Wall is really, a great piece of good music, Pink Floyd, is not story, is history. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 3 out of 3 users found this helpful beyond all musicThe Wall is indescribable. Pink Floyd transformed rock n roll in the sixties with frontman Syd Barrett, and continued to do so with The Wall. The Wall is a concept album that tells the story of a young rock star named Pink, not Pink Floyd, a common mistake. I wont tell the story, as I feel one should create there own interpretation of exactly what Pinks journeys entail and amount to. Musically the wall is incredible, mixing Waters lyrics with blisteringly hard, and sometimes rather un-Floydlike, riffs, and the occasional face melter from Gilmour (of course there are the acoustic pieces, such as Goodbye Blue Sky, Mother, and others which are just as impressive lyrically and musically). The album lacks the contributions of Mason and Wright, Wright having been preoccupied with drugs and Mason not seeming to have much interest in the band anymore. But, one can plainly see, that Pink Floyd without Wright and Mason is by no means a worse Pink Floyd. The album itself actually received poor reviews from such music magazines as Rolling Stone, but one must consider that Rolling Stone is the same magazine that tore apart every Zeppelin album (including their fourth, the album containing Stairway, go figure). I think the poor reveiws were due to timing, the album being released in the late seventies, the time when disco ruled the earth rather unfortunate for the Floyd, but what are more people listening to now, Brick House or Comfortably Numb? Take that, disco. The album is beyond music, and is basically indescribable in words. DEFINITELY listen to it from start to finish if you havent already. Was this review helpful? Sign In 2 out of 2 users found this helpful Last of the great concept albumsAlong with Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals, The Wall was a great album. The Wall had the best vocals and most coherent story of all the Pink Floyd greats. It MUST be listened to beginning to end. Animals rocks, Dark Side of the Moon sounds PERFECT and Wish You Were Here is the best stoner album ever, but The Wall will make you think. Was this review helpful?

This album is a masterpiece, and deserves a good review. In fact, I'm going to post one from another reviewer who put it very well (edited for length). See amazon.com for more.
Reviewer: Alan Caylow (USA)
"The Wall," Pink Floyd's 1979 concept album about a rock star's mental breakdown, is a towering monster. It's an album with SO many audio, lyrical, musical & emotional nooks and crannies contained within, that one listen simply will not cut it. "The Wall" is not just an album to listen to, it's an album to be *explored*. It was inspired by then-bandleader Roger Waters' own mental collapse at the end of the Floyd's tour for the "Animals" album. Due to the grind of the mammoth stadium tour for "Animals," and sickened by seeing his own band, in his opinion, become part of the rock business "circus," Waters was mentally & emotionally exhausted beyond comprehension. At the final gig in Montreal, the ravaged Waters finally snapped, spitting in the face of a young fan sitting up front. Coming home to England to recover, Waters finally decided to exorcise his demons by writing a conceptual piece about his disgust with his life as a rock star, and he began building "The Wall"....With the bulk of the double-album composed by Waters (with a few co-writing contributions from guitarist David Gilmour & producer Bob Ezrin), "The Wall" tells the story of a rock star named Pink and his downward spiral into madness.
"For Pink Floyd, "The Wall" became one of the group's biggest best-sellers, second only to "Dark Side Of The Moon." For the listener, "The Wall" is a spellbinding musical journey. It's music is at turns beautiful, haunting, and unquestionably powerful, and it's story is an absolutely gripping one. "The Wall" is a timeless, undisputed Pink Floyd classic."

The album consits of 26 songs, and can often times be very morbid and dark. The Wall is the first ever 'true' concept album, others tried a concept before but never used the concept to it's full extent. This album handles the concept throughout the whole album. It starts off with a basic summary of how his father was killed in the war, how memories are returning to unease him, etc. Then it gains speed and has him building "The Wall" which ends up being both a positive and a negative. When he builds "The Wall" in his mind, it protects his sanity from the problems of the world and disturbing memories, but it's also holding him prisoner. When he tries to escape, the "worms" start to dig into his brain, and he slowly loses stability and becomes a Fascist. Eventually the worms reach "The Wall" and where Pink is hiding from them inside his mind and punish him. The music is wonderfully haunting and tuned. I would recoomend it to anyone.

Sign In 2 out of 9 users found this helpful  the WallPosted: 8/25/2005A review of The Wall by goofball4ever Okay this is definately not the best Pink Floyd album. It has very little actual music and almost all of it is little ballets that just take up time. I find it annoying that you give this such high praise when all it is one guy complaining about his highly exagerated life story. Roger Waters doesn't even like the actual movie because he says it was highly exagerated. It also has the same repeated song 4 times which I find to be very boring. Also you've obviously never listened to anything else by PF or your just jumping on the band wagon. Was this review helpful? Sign In 0 out of 5 users found this helpful Roger Waters' 1st overrated solo albumLet me begin by stating that this may indeed be the most overrated CD of all time. It is amazing to me that it has sold over 23 million copies (by far the most of any PF album) given that it is one of the worst albums Pink Floyd ever made; the reason for this was the fact that it was, by all definitions of the word, a solo album, completely orchestrated by a completely spent Roger Waters. Stop telling yourself this is a "masterpiece," and realize the simple fact that there are maybe, out of 20 something tracks, 3 or 4 decent, albeit very mainstream and radio friendly, songs on the entire album. The rest is nothing but filler and junk, and is barely even listenable. Compared to albums such as "Animals" and "Dark Side of the Moon," "The Wall" is garbage and was the beginning of the end of Pink Floyd. Newbies: forget this album. Begin with "Meddle," and move on through "Animals" (save the best for last), and end your Pink Floyd collection there. Disagree all you want, but "The Wall" was nothing compared to the five albums that preceded it (especially the one that immediately preceeded it, the true masterpiece "Animals"), and given good listens, you'd eventually agree.

Individual conclusions should be drawn in each listener's mind. It may just be the best-known album anywhere, anytime. It is timeless, and while PF wasn't quite the same after this, any album they have done is worth owning.
