Dammit, I've got homework, but then I see this on my feed. Oh well, guess I don't need no education

This album is horrifyingly human. It's everything we persuade ourselves we aren't, it's all that we are destined to become. The wall is not the story of Pink, but of man in society. It's entirely unprecedented and unique. It's beautiful. Roger is a genius

I love how dark, unsettling and even depressing the album is.

This album got me through cancer in 2017. In recovery now, Comfortably Numb is my song to deal with chemotherapy. Thank you for reviewing this record and breaking all of it down.

That plane sound at the end of In the Flesh is actually a Stuka dive bomber, which had special attachments to make that distinctive sound. It was used quite a bit by the germans during WWII and the plane that crashes into the wall in the live show is a model of a Stuka. Just a bit of extra information I thought some people might find interesting.

Mother and Blue Sky are underrated IMHO..

those 2 songs are really masterpiece!

Important thing to notice is that the first instance of “In The Flesh” has a question mark after it, and the second instance does not, suggesting the second reflects his real personality.

Probably one of the best rock albums if not best albums of all time. It perfected the idea of a concept album. It's almost impossible to cherry pick a song from the album without marathoning the entire thing. Rock Opera is such an odd and underrated style.

How about a review of Meddle? I consider it their "Hunky Dory". A great album before the fame really kicked in. And you cannot beat Echoes! As soon as you hear Richard's "ping" the tingling in the spine comes alive.

This record and I have a... complicated history.
As a kid, Pink Floyd was my favorite band, and The Wall was my favorite album. As such, I listened to it, and Pink Floyd's discography in general, too many times. This was how I learned something very important about myself: that I have an obsessive personality, and by overplaying it to such a degree when I was young, it actually creates a sort of negative reflex in me as an adult.
It taught me a very valuable lesson about the dangers of overdoing something good, I haven't listened to the thing in literally years, largely in an attempt to make it fresh again for me.

The transition from the entire crowd chanting “Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!” on the end of “In the Flesh” on side four and in the intro of “Run Like Hell” to, when at the end of that song and through the intro of “Waiting for the Worms, ” half of the crowd is continuing to chant “Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!” where the other half of the crowd is now chanting “Hammer! Hammer!” and that chant is drowning out the chant of “Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!” and then, at the end of “Waiting for the Worms” and up to the intro of “Stop” where the entirety of the crowd is chanting “Hammer! Hammer!” to a crescendo, in my opinion, is one of the most remarkable and subtle parts of this section of the album.

I’ll never forget the first time I listened to it on a good dose of LSD. You really get a sense for how dark it is.
A few friends of mine were curious about tripping & decided to try it one night. Being the “experienced” friend, I made a playlist that would at least last the majority of the trip. I saved The Wall for the very end & good thing I did. One friend couldn’t take it, he literally laid face down on the floor moaning while “Empty Spaces” played. I’ve tripped with many people, The Wall is the only album I’ve had people ask to stop/pause the music.
Powerful piece of work.

Comfortably numb brings me to tears every time I listen to it. There’s nothing as amazing as listening to this album and finally getting to that track, a feeling that can’t be described
