Pink Floyd - The Wall (Deluxe Packaging Digitally Remastered)

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 Amazon.com Essential Recording

Great Pink Floyd music.

"The Wall" is a Pink Floyd standard. It has some of the commercial hits, but also some tunes you may have not heard in the mainstream but you will love these too. Great music to add or start your Pink Floyd collection. November 25, 2008

Does not require buy-in.

After basically ignoring THE WALL for years once I decided that I had no patience with Roger Waters' whining all the way to the bank, I've come to the conclusion that the listener does not have to buy in to Waters' monomaniacal view of his lot in life to be bowled over by the songs and how they're presented. "Comfortably Numb," "Mother," "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Hey You" still sound great after all these years, and kudos to David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright--as well as Waters himself-- for giving them musical heft. Sonically, the album is magnificent. So, a great package, but as far as concept albums about how lousy it is to be a rock star go, I'll take WISH YOU WERE HERE over this any day. Or, for that matter, Syd Barrett's THE MADCAP LAUGHS. September 30, 2008
