THE WALL

This album is really not very special at all, Here we see Floyd riding on the reputation of their earlier, breathtaking albums, creating an album which is much more arty that progressive. Roger Waters I think wrote this on his own, which is never a good thing (see 'Tales from Topographic Oceans'). I never did much like the use of samples and sound bytes in 'The Dark Side of the Moon', but they at formed a minor element, whereas in 'The Wall', long sequences of noise and sound effects pass for songs, which are downright annoying. Most of the songs are really not very compex and offer little other than what first appears on the surface. 'Another brick in the wall' and 'comfortably numb' are both Floyd classics brilliant songs however, though I cant imagine why 'Ather brick in the wall' is repeated three times, other than there was a lack of imagination and there needed to be even more filler material for this ridiculously long album.
