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. 
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.

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.
I think the operative word there is 'finally'.
