Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right. "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtle, incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

Un Essentiel amazon.fr

Entre concept album et opéra rock, The Wall trouve Pink Floyd au sommet de son ambition. Le groupe, dominé ici par Roger Waters, utilise la même discipline que celle utilisée lors la composition de Dark Side Of The Moon, abandonnant le psychédélisme de ses débuts. Le résultat en devient plus accessible, plus traditionnellement rock dans la structure des morceaux, ce qui ne signifie pas pour autant moins original. Car ces 26 chansons tournant toutes autour du thème de l'enfermement sont truffées de bruitages, renforçant systématiquement l'impact des paroles. Cris, explosions, échos, tout est bon pour souligner la noirceur et la claustrophobie d'un futur totalitaire. D'abord oppressante, puis de plus en plus scandée comme un hymne, la chanson "Another Brick In The Wall" revient comme un leitmotiv tout au long de l'album. Elle ponctue une oeuvre aux accents wagnériens, renforcés par des orchestrations de Michael Kamen, qui signait là ses premiers arrangements pour le Floyd. --Ruby Wednesday

Customer Reviews

Say Overkill (2008-03-18)

Some amazing music and some filler and loads of creepy sound effects. The Wall is Pink Floyd's or should I say Water's most ambitious project. An epic double lp that is overly long to say the least. The concept of this lp suffers from being overly complex and not that clear ( to me at least). However, lots of great classic Floyd tunes like Comfortably Numb, Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, and Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. Pink FLoyd's last great album is not a masterpiece but is essential none the less.

Their Best Work (2006-12-22)

I've got to say, this is my faveorite post-60's work by Pink Floyd. I'm not a fan of Dark Side of the Moon, I feel that is a very stale and drawn out album. Usually I'm not a fan of these "Rock Operas" or "Concept Albums", and I don't listen to this for the story. But the way it is weaved together, along with the story itsself (seeing the movie might help) and the music, makes this a superb effort. It begins with the end of the very last track on the album, and unexpectedley blasts into "In the Flesh?". In the film, the scenes of war really emphasize this music. The verses in this song are astounding. We then go into some standards, the "Another Brick in the Wall" tracks which I'm not a big fan of, and eventually towards the end of the album.I've read reviews that said the first disc could be marketed as an album on its own, but not the 2nd one. I've got to disagree. Personally, I perfer the 2nd disc (although the whole Facist thing doesn't seem to come from or go anywhere, and "Run Like Hell" is a really terrible song). But the first half of the second disc, as well as the closing, is really incredible. "Hey You" is, of course, a classic rock radio staple, and we all know it. "Is Anybody Out there?" is a nice classical guitar piece, nothing special. But here we get into one of the best lineups of songs every put on album, from "Nobody Home" to "In the Flesh". "Nobody Home" is just incredible, in my opinion the best song Roger Waters has ever written. "Vera" is similarily beutiful. "Bring The Boys back Home" really has this manic, fevered, climactic feel; for all of this theatrical drama going on in the disturbed emotions of one man is really felt with this song (A note: I tend to get extremely involved with what I listen to or read). "Comfortably Numb" is, of course, Comfortably Numb. For some reason, I really, really enjoy "The Show Must go On", It may be the opening vocals, or the closing vocals, but it just appeals to me. The 2nd "In the Flesh" is longer and more epic than the first. I won't discuss the tracks after this, other than "The Trial". Some people hate the fact that this album is ended with a "Cartoonish-song", but I find it the perfect closing statement. In an album about insanity, madness, and isolation, this song really rings true with the feeling and mood of a lost-mind, someone so far out of their own mind that these delusions manifest themselves as they do.In closing, I do reccomend this to a fan of Pink Floyd (although every fan already owns it). If you are new to Pink Floyd and you have heard Dark Side of the Moon or Meddle, don't expect this to be anything like it. ANYTHING like it.

Rock-Opera By Pink Floyd (2006-08-03)

This is so excellent and coherent, it almost hurts. So good.If you are already familiar with the beauty and genius that is Pink Floyd, why not add this masterpiece to your collection?Also, newcomers alike. Don't be afraid, this is the way to go, a wonderful place to start your Pink Floyd -journey. (That's how I started, and haven't looked back since..)Although this is a rock-opera, hence tells a story and is a concept-album like many other Pink Floyd -albums, that doesn't mean you can't remove the songs out of the context. Though I strongly recommend you to listen to this through several times, to get the story straight and to be amazed by the aching beauty of this work. But do feel free jump to your favourites after that, if you want to. I do so, but I also listen to the whole album from time to time. This is one of my all-time favourites!My highlights include: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Goodbye Blue Sky, Another Brick In The Wall ( all three parts, but especially part I), Thin Thin Ice and Young Lust.Oh, did I already say, that this is ReCoMMenDeD... :oD ( Very warmly and highly)
