IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

"Is there anybody out there?" is a live album recorded between 1980 and 1981 while Pink Floyd was in the middle of "The wall" tour, so basically it is just the album of "The wall" played alive. Even when "The wall" is one of Pink Floyd's most popular and successful albums which I truly consider a solid masterpiece its live version is not that great.

I must recognize that I have kind of an issue with live albums since I'm not too much into them and it is rare that I consider them masterpieces, I almost never find new stuff on them so I'd rather listen to studio albums that I find more original and interesting and this album is not an exception. The only song on this album that you won't find on the original version of "The wall" is "What shall we do now?", but you can also hear it if you watch "The wall movie".

I was going to rate this album with 3 stars but the artwork and the little info-book about the tour that the original 2CD case includes gives the album another star. It is an excellent addition to any CD collection; however, for those who aren't CD collectors and only listen to the music on Spotify, I'd say this album is good but non-essential.
