Pretty overrated imo. Too much filler junk like The Thin Ice, Vera, Bring the Boys Back Home, Stop, The Trial, etc. Has two of my top tracks of theirs, however: Hey You and Comfortably Numb.  |

I also like it, but also agree it's a bit overrated.

What happens when a single member of a band goes on an ego trip, bloated and packed with filler material, if it wasn't for the equally overblown stage show it would be seen as a minor work. I'm a Syd period fan but they did some great studio albums up to "Wish You Were Here" too. After that the animosity hampered any musical output.

Personally I think it's underrated given how much Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are praised. I think this album deserves to be o. The same level as those.

I've always thought it was a fine album, a work of art. Obviously not everyone likes it.

The Wall is not an album of tracks any more than a movie is a collection of scenes. While concept albums can produce some hits, they're usually meant to be taken as a whole, especially in The Wall's case. There are boring scenes in movies, too, but we don't skip them or single them out...unless you're young, in which case you're probably on your phone for most of it and only pay attention when something explodes.

There isn't enough purple-haired, stenched out, skunky, kind bud... okay, wait. There is. But that's the only way.

One of my favorites of all time.
It seems to be back in the public consciousness since the Nostalgia Critic did a horrendously bad video remaking and reinterpreting it. I do not recommend the watch.
Also, The Trial was the climax of the album. I don't see how that was filler. It was a concept album-- not a collection of songs. You can certainly argue its merits as a concept album and whether certain songs were necessary but the song in The Wall where the wall finally comes down is not one of those.

Maybe you should try watching it.  But yeah, I have indeed listened to it from start to finish non interruptus many, many times. I highly recommend it to those who haven't, with or without Pepe le Pew. I wonder how many people have cranked up and sang along to Another Brick in the Wall a gazillion times and still don't know what those bricks really are. It's a crying shame.

God, I really hope nobody needs to explain what The Wall actually is at some point here.

What were we talking about? Oh yeah, bricks. Nope, not those either. I'll sit back, put my head on his lap and he can pass the cush, schooling me all about the bricks in The Wall while I drift... whoever "he" is.

I was thinking that for those who skip around looking for the chase scenes, there is no 'finally' because nothing has been built up.

None of your fit throwing is going to undo your mind boggling blunder, bunky.

Wish You Were Here is a great album, too. When I hear "rock opera," I think of Tommy. Not a fan of Tommy, either, although I do like some of the songs. Errr, I meant moments in the libretto. Now I will be punished. But back to The Wall (no pun intended - I swear with fingers crossed), hot damn if Gilly hasn't still got it.

He has a very fluid style and a tone all his tone. The Wall actually has three of my favorites Gilmour leads. Another Brick in the Wall (Pt 2!), Comfortably Numb, and Mother (from around 4:00-4:30 in the vid below)...
