Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is a true masterpiece of rock music. The album is truly thought provoking, unwinding a tale over two amazing CDs.

About a week ago I was in a bit of a drout for something to listen to. As I searched threw my CD collection for an album with some good guitar on it - without being Hendrix - I found "The Wall". I've always been a bit of a Pink Floyd fan, mainly because these guys could really make good rock. Anyone will tell you that this album is a classic, and I really love it, I can jam to this right here anytime.

The album itself is about the mind of a troubled rockstar, who deals with the death of his father, controlling mother, opressive school teachers, broken marriage, his music, his fans and his bout with drugs, as the numerous problems and demons that haunt him.

I still get excited when I come to listen to this, and everytime I never want it to end. Every song on this album is classic - there's not one I don't like. My favourite songs would have to be "Another Brick In The Wall" Parts 1 + 2. But every song on this album makes up the story, but the ones that have the deepest meanings are "Goodbye Blue Sky", "Mother", "Comfortably Numb" and "The Trial".

Just because every song on the album contributes to the story, that doesn't mean that if you listen to any song it won't make sense. I regualy just pop in "The Wall" and listen to "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2".

So from me "The Wall" gets five stars, and rightly so, as it is one of the best written, well played and complex rock albums ever. You don't even have to be heavy into rock - I'm not - to enjoy this masterpiece. It's worth having, not just for the history, not just for the outstanding guitar work, but for the absolute listening experience it is. This is recommended. 5 stars.
