The Wall

listen to a different pink floyd album or just listen to the popular singles from this one. pink floyd's previous 3 albums ("dark side of the moon", "wish you were here", and "animals") might be the best 3 album run in music. it's not a 4 album run because this album is very boring. it's a cool concept album, and that part is fun to talk about, but there are 3 songs that are any good on it ("another brick in the wall pt. 2", "hey you", and "comfortably numb". also "the trial" in my opinion, i wish the rest of concept was as cool as that one...). the rest isn't very interesting unfortunately.

bloated

I hate this so much. It's too miserable to enjoy at all. And don't ever make me sit through the film again!

it’s not even terrible, it’s not that interesting

Overlong, bloated, boring and just utterly devoid of approachability. The single most overacted artists in the history of any art form. Not quite the most overrated abli, that will come. Contains musical sleeping tablets in Comfortably Numb. This would be a zero if it could be. Listening feels like putting pins in my eyes.

Shit.

painful.

okay.

I don't understand this album, there is a multi-part song called Another Brick in the Wall, which I recognize bits of. It's also all over the place tonally. I get the sense there's a lot of meaning behind some of these songs, particularly some lesser known parts of their catalogue. Without knowing the context or meaning behind some of these songs, I feel like I might be missing a layer.

One of those "change the station" artists for me. Don't get the appeal, can't fucking stand them.

No

pompous tosh

I really hate this. Why is it so long? Cleary they're capable musicians but the songwriting is stretched seriously thin. I don't hear what everyone else hears

I really don't understand why this is so highly rated. The songs are so bland and poorly written, comparing the quality of songwriting to Echoes or DSOTM is a joke. It's all just two or three shitty chords under a dull melody, it almost sounds like a copycat pink floyd band of some untalented teenagers. And it just drags on and on with the songs all sounding pretty much the same. I wanted to give this a fair chance, but I just can't make it through all 80 minutes. It's a shame, I do enjoy earlier pink floyd a lot

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. The Waters-written musical film based on The Wall album, Pink Floyd – The Wall, won two BAFTA Awards. Pink Floyd were founded by students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright

I have lisent before. Great album.
