For those dissing The Wall, maybe you had to be there in the winter of 1979 when this came out.
There had already been Dark Side of the Moon and I was nearly obsessed with Animals - probably played it every day for two years.
But NO ONE saw this one coming... For crying out loud, Pink Floyd was about to have a NUMBER ONE single in America?!?
It changed everything. A masterwork, number one in America for nearly six months, the biggest selling double-disc album in history, the greatest rock album ever made...
Free Music Review: A testament to Waters's and Floyd's genius....
Hit: 5 Stars
This is arguably Floyd's greatest work, and is truly a legendary album. Rumour has it that Roger Waters showed this work and The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking to the boys in Floyd at the same time, and the Floyd members decided to do this one (smart move). It's an immensely complex work, which was probably lost on many who just loved the lyrics of Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2. It's one of rock's most ambitious albums, and Waters and the band should be congratulated for that. This is pretty much Waters's creation, with a few credits given to Gilmour, and one to the producer, Bob Ezrin. Many people have trashed Waters as an egomaniac, but he is a great lyricist/songwriter. His lyrics and songs are vastly superior to Gilmour's, and he came up with the great concepts for all of Floyd's classic albums. However, Gilmour, Mason, and Wright did contribute greatly to the Floyd sound. They may not have gotten credit all the time, but Pink Floyd really interpreted Waters's work very well. Waters's solo albums aren't as good as his Floyd work, and this may have something to do with it. The tour for this album was one of the most elaborate in rock history. Gilmour, Mason, and Waters didn't get paid for their work here because they felt it was more important to put the show on in their original concept. Ironically, Richard Wright, who was fired (or left) the group during the sessions for The Wall, was hired as a contract musician for the tour, and ended up being the only one of the group who made any money off the tour. This was probably Floyd's last great album, even though The Final Cut is brilliant in its own right and Momentary has its moments (I don't have The Division Bell). There are many great songs here, much of them better than Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 (Mother, In the Flesh I and II, Waiting for the Worms, Goodbye Blue Sky, One of My Turns). It isn't a happy album (despite success, Waters's songs got even darker as the years went on), but it's absolutely essential. Free Music Review: A Few Diamonds In The Rough
Hit: 4 Stars
Some of my all-time favorite guitar solos (Comfortably Numb, Another Brick II, and Mother) are to be found here, as well as one of my favorite songs, the aforementioned Comfortably Numb. But the percentage of good, 'listenable', music on this large collection is quite low in my opinion. In other words, this isn't an album that you can put on and listen to all the way through if you're in the mood for pure music. Whereas previous albums would feature long, somewhat ethereal musical interludes between, and within, songs, here we have a few good songs tied together by relatively short, strange snippets of lyrics masquerading as songs, mostly sung by Roger Waters, who is simply not in the same league as David Gilmour as a vocalist. In fact, all the best songs here are predominantly sung by Gilmour.
The story being told here is OK, but Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals, all accomplished similar goals with much more subletly and far fewer words. The music did most of the talking and that's what made them great albums.
Any fan of Pink Floyd should have this album in their collection. There are some classic songs here, but it is certainly not one of their best works taken as a whole.
