Totally overrated! I could never 'get' this album. PF is one of my favourite bands, but I'll chose Animals and Wish you were here over The Wall anytime...
Interested in my reviews?
You can find them HERE

Yes, it is a great album, but IMO it's the worst one from classic PF, with the exception of Final Cut. The disco wave of early eightees really affected them here. And I'll have to agree that the lyrics are very depressing.

And the movie is just ridiculous

It's truly a masterpiece, but it depresses the hell out of me.
A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.

I love it, but... it's also one of my least favorite Floyd albums. I prefer anything from The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn to The Division Bell over it.

As I said on another thread -- it would have made a really good EP.  I'd throw it a B-minus.  An average album.

i can't cast a vote; it's not about hating or loving it ; i just think that musically it's a bit overrated, having only two or three wonderful music moments (hey you - numb)

Love the album, love the movie. But, IMHO, not as good as other Floyd works.

The lyrical meaning is far more transparent and the songs are great.

I Like the Wall, but it's nothing special. When I listen to it I feel I want to skip over half the tracks.
