While many see this as Pink Floyd's greatest album, i think it has some incredible moments but it just doesn't descend into the phenomenal as many of their other works do.

When a band becomes popular it doesn't make them any better or worse, but it can become irritating when the only songs by pink floyd people know are Another Brick in the Wall and Comfortably Numb. No doubt two very nice songs, but i've heard them so many times that their material is just too difficult to praise.

That isn't very good basis to dislike an album, i think The Wall is far too long and has far too much gliding time where songs become uninteresting and ininspired. Some great songs, Thin Ice and Waiting for the Worms, are overlooked as incredible songs.

Also, the concept of isolation and insanity doesn't interest me at all.

After three perfect albums (Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals) The Wall is extremely dissapointing in how commercial Pink Floyd sounds.

I've never been the biggest fan of this album and i just can't get behind it as one of their best albums, but its definately worth checking out if you're a Pink Floyd fan... obviously

the obviously incredible musicianship and talent makes it worth listening to, but not one for remembering
