The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what arguably ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right; "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtly incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inside The Floyd's Wall, October 30, 2002
    By 
    This review is from: The Wall (Audio CD)
    "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, 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...

    5.0 out of 5 stars ......we came in?, June 5, 2000

    Wow......

    If anyone could sum up this album in one word, that would be it. 'The Wall' is not only the ultimate Pink Floyd album(in my opinion, at least), it is the most creative and awe-inspring recording probably ever. From the explosive opening guitar riff of "In The Flesh?" to the final harmonies of "Outside The Wall", 'The Wall' takes the most extensive journey of the mind, heart and soul of any rock album ever made. With the excellent production of Bob Ezrin (who also produced KISS' classic 'Destroyer'), to the legendary David Gilmour and of course, the brainchild of the whole thing, Roger Waters, The Floyd told the story of a man who was at war his whole life with one person - himself. From the death of his father in WWII, his overprotective mother, his superstardom as a rock musician and the excess which accompanied it, his unfaithful wife, his inability to cope with the rest of the world, and finally, his freefall into insanity, no other...

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Remaster Of A Classic Album, September 29, 2011

    This review is from: The Wall (Audio CD)
    I bought "The Wall" LP the week it was issued. A long winter followed, and sometimes three and four feet of snow were drifted up against my doors. I spent many winter hours drinking hot coffee and listening to "The Wall", many times over. As much as I enjoy the warm, smooth sound of a well-mastered LP, the 2011 CD remaster of "The Wall" might sound even better. The remastered sound is warm, open and natural...it does not sound digital, it sounds like a "perfect" LP, without the small "clicks" and "snaps" that even the best LP always have.

    The CD also comes with a small booklet with the production credits, and hand-written (albeit unreadable) lyric sheets. A plus, compared with a MP3 version of the album.

    Why buy the 2011 remastered CD? Well, I can't find my older versions...are they in a closet? The new CD is in my CD player right now. But, you really need to buy two or three copies...none of the teenagers in your family have heard "The Wall"...a massive... Read more
