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'. 8-)

Hey. Lids half-closed count as watching.

Well cry me a river and float me to Venice, because I don't know nothin bout birthin no babies. 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.
