Pink Floyd - The Wall

Oh baby, The Wall. This giant. Let's get to it!

In The Flesh? opens the album with a melancholic hard rock song. Slowly, towards the end, a lot of noise and static kicks in.

Then we have The Thin Ice. A slow, piano driven song with rather mean vocals, as if he's mocking us, and then, a loud guitar solo kicks in.

After that, a reverberated bassline kicks in, accompanied by whispering vocals. An overall very moody and suspenseful song.

After that, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives brings in another groovy bassline, building up into we don't need no education.

Next we have Mother, a nice rock song.

Goodbye Blue Sky is a dramatic song, with a generally very dark feel to it.

Empty Spaces is very empty, until the guitar kicks in, transitioning into Young Lust, a groovy song, with some epic vocals.

One Of My Turns is a bit weird. Odd vocals, and a decent instrumental.

Don't Leave Me Now also sounded a bit weird.

Another Brick In The Wall Part 3 is just a shorter and more aggressive version of Part 2.

Goodbye Cruel World is short and soft musical interlude.

Then we have Hey You, which a lot of people might say is great, but I think it's just OK.

Is There Anybody Out There? is another short interlude.

Nobody Home was decent.

Vera was another decent song. So was Bring The Boys Back Home. The album is starting to drag on now.

NOT ANYMORE, COMFORTABLY NUMB CAME ON!!

I wanted the other The Show Must Go On. I'm sad.

In The Flesh was an ominous song, but not very captivating.

Run Like Hell was very groovy.

Waiting For The Worms was forgettable.

Then... we have The Trial. Need I say anymore?

And finally, Outside The Wall was mid.

The album is rather long, and apart from the bangers on here, it really is just some mid stuff. Sorry to upset anyone, but my score is...

Score: 7/10
