You just don't get how deep The Wall is. It's like, there's this wall around him, and the wall symbolizes a wall.

Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in Wall Part 2, and Hey You are some of the best songs ever. But the album as a whole seems to drag on for some reason. I want to like this more but it's just not consistent enough.

It tells an intelligent story, it has some captivating lyrics and the classic Pink Floyd sound to it with atmospheric instrumentation and some great guitar solos by Gilmour. Probably the greatest rock opera to ever hold its ground.

This was the album that got me into Pink Floyd and music in general. Not only has this got the best concept of any concept album, it never bores. The songs are kept relatively short in comparison to other Floyd albums, but that is no problem when all of them are brilliant. It also has Roger Waters' best work as a songwriter and David Gilmour's as a guitarist. It's intense, brooding, dark and magnificent. It also helps if you watch the film/see it live too, it really emphasises the experience. Because it's more than an album, it's an experience.

Extreme ambition leads down 2 roads. One is immense failure. The other is extraordinary new heights. I personally believe this album to be a huge success in its ambitions. It's nowhere near as consistent or controlled as other Pink Floyd albums, and there are the occasional misses. But this album manages to conjure up a wider range of emotions than any other Pink Floyd release.

Very good concept throughout, accompanied by good music. Some songs seem like filler fodder.
