You seriously listen to The Wall all the way through and don't skip any of it? There isn't enough purple-haired, stenched out, skunky, kind bud... okay, wait. There is. But that's the only way.

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'.

Right? Of all the tracks to call filler, The Trial? That's what the entire album is building up to.

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