Pink Floyd

The Wall

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?

Review Score:

(8/10)
Well, firstly this album is no bomb. THe line above refers to a line in a song from the album called "MOTHER", it's fantastic. While "The Wall" is not Pink Floyd's best album, it comes close. It features Parts 1, 2 and 3 of "Another brick in the Wall" which is the only way to fully appreciate this song. The radio edit version is good, but not as effective as the album version.

Other standout tracks include:

Comfortably Numb - This song sends shivers up my spine every single time I hear it. If you enjoyed "On the turning away" (from their Momentary Lapse of Reason album) you will love this, they have a similar feel to them.

Run Like Hell - the introduction to this is simply brilliant.

Released in 1979, it was ahead of its time then. Re-released in 1999 as a new digital remaster, it should have stated on the sticker "20 Year Anniversary" but got a "30 Year Anniversary" sticker by mistake. A small detail. The new digital remaster is worth owning.
