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

Customer Reviews

It's the Friggin' Wall
It's "The Wall"--- needed it on CD, Roger Waters tells all biography. If you haven't heard it-----your parents have. Or maybe the worms ate into your brain. Either way----- you love it or hate it on this one---- I love it.

Not Floyd's best, but still great.
I don't think this is Floyd's best album, but it is rock solid. I've always prefered Meddle to this. Still, it's a must own for any Floyd fan or rock enthusiast in general.

Masterpiece
I was about 16 when this album was released, it became an anthem for me and my friends. The album and then the film transformed our lives and we didn't even know it at the time. All we really knew is that it was very, very good and we knew then (even as teens) that it was a masterpiece. The last great collaboration by the four remaining members post-Barrett. The Wall wasn't meant to be radio-friendly, however, the decaying AOR stations made many of the individual songs radio-friendly by means of minimal editing. Anyone who knows this work can tell you that any one song taken from the album can stand alone but the original color is lost if not consumed as a whole with all the parts intact.

No need to go on-and-on about this cornerstone of modern pop music, just give it a listen, judge for yourself.
