The Wall

Excellent Album by Pink Floyd

Review Score:

(10/10)
Please people, stop rating each track individually. You cannot possible rate an album such as `The Wall' in this way.

And those who rate it as `gloomy and depressing', IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, FOR ****'S SAKE!! It's about the decent into madness of a Rock star who's off his trolley on puff, neglecting his wife, lost his dad, mollycoddled by his mum and just generally hates the world. Yes it's self indulgent, but look through the indulgence and you will see there's a message here. It's message is similar in a way to Supertramp's `Hide in your shell', in that it's telling you to stop living in your own cocoon of fear and loathing, and to wake up and realise that there are people who care for you, and people with similar or even worse problems than you.

If anything, I find this album uplifting. Just listen to the lyrics on 'Outside the Wall'.

I've listened intently to The Wall for over 24 years. The whole album is a master class in musical production, including the clever subliminal things that you don't notice unless someone brings it to your attention.

Isn't this where......
