Product Description

Amazon.ca

The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what arguably ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right; "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtly incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock-Opera By Pink Floyd Aug 2 2006
Format:Audio CD
This is so excellent and coherent, it almost hurts. So good.

If you are already familiar with the beauty and genius that is Pink Floyd, why not add this masterpiece to your collection?

Also, newcomers alike. Don't be afraid, this is the way to go, a wonderful place to start your Pink Floyd -journey. (That's how I started, and haven't looked back since..)

Although this is a rock-opera, hence tells a story and is a concept-album like many other Pink Floyd -albums, that doesn't mean you can't remove the songs out of the context.

Though I strongly recommend you to listen to this through several times, to get the story straight and to be amazed by the aching beauty of this work. But do feel free jump to your favourites after that, if you want to.

I do so, but I also listen to the whole album from time to time.

This is one of my all-time favourites!

My highlights include: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Goodbye Blue Sky, Another Brick In The Wall ( all three parts, but especially part I), Thin Thin Ice and Young Lust.

Oh, did I already say, that this is ReCoMMenDeD... :oD ( Very warmly and highly)

4.0 out of 5 stars Would of gave it 5 but.... Feb 28 2012
By Gis A. Bun TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
[2012 Immercion box set]
Would of gave it 5 stars but I found the visual material to be less than perfect. Sure it's nice to have the documentary [finally - especially after the low quality editions found on the Internet] but there isn't really much else. And why no Blu-ray?
Would of loved to see all or part of a Wall concert from the era on DVD and Blu-ray.
Also lacking is a DVD audio and Blu-ray audio of the album itself - after all Wish You were Here and Dark Side of the mOnn had them.
Packaging is like the others but with one exception. Digipack spots are available for 4 of the v6 CDs and 1 DVd [what about the 3 others?] but all 7 discs come in cardboard sleeves. I guess the studio album and the live album get the digipack treatments.
It's nice to see the excerpts and full track demos done primarily by Waters and with the band.
Unsure why the live album released about 12 years ago was included. It was part of a separate release [this is where they could of been replaced by an unreleased live DVD and Blu-ray instead].
Once again 3 marbles [and a bag] and memorabilia duplicates, plus the scarf, a print, a huge poster-like sheet with the lyrics [interesting because the lyrics are already in one of two books], 2 books with pictures and info, etc.
Started to listen to the studio album and the first thing I noticed is the volume is lower than the last few albums I played. Second thing I noticed is that CD 1 is about a dozen seconds shorter than the remastered version from 1997.

Format:Audio CD
just curious. did you get permission specifically from Roger Waters himself (not Sony or EMI or Columbia or whoever)? if you did, i'll go buy it. if not, i will be decent and not post here what i think of your 'band'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bang You're Head...
Against the wall till it explodes if you give this album anything less the 5 stars. The sheer amount of effort that went into this record is monumental. Read more
