and some magnificent tracks

it

i reckon it's one of the most over rated albums going. It is
largely toss even by pink floyds standards, i mean what's
that song about roger waters needing a dirty woman about? it
sounds like ZZ top. i used think their earlier stuff was
much more interesting, now i think it's all cribbage. The
madcap laughs is more entertaining.

/rant.

I like Waters' voice...
Wasn't he really the main singer?

i agree about the lots of filler. only a few tracks stand
out for me, and definitely not enough to make it a "great
album"...

it's the only pink floyd album i have but i found it quite
deceiving.

i don't really think it's "filler" because the album is
supposed to be a narrative. The "filler" tracks aren't
meant to be hit singles as much as just a device to move the
story along.

Basically like the Tom Bombadil chapters in LOTR, if i may
nerd a bit here.

It's a concept album and it works. I fucking love it.

of an almoost human nature. This will not do!"

I dont pretend all the tracks to be hit singles... but the
filler I talk about is cos thy are weak(bad) tracks for what
they had been doing in the past.... actually some of the
tracks in the wall are horrible in every aspect

never really got into Pink Floyd but think Money
truly is a classic song, simply because of the quite
brilliantly juxtaposed sounds at the beginning leading into
the guitar riff. Love it!

From The Wall I enjoy listening to Another
Brick in the Wall
parts 1,2 and 3 and of course
Comfortably Numb (so much better than the horrendous
Scissor Sisters track which mutilated a song which
was never intended to be a short dance single!).

Though I'm not really in a great position to shed much
opinion on this album since I don't own it, from what I've
heard it is pretty good, perhaps not as good as Dark
Side of the Moon
but decent nonetheless.

the animated video for 'Another Brick in the Wall' is
excellent.

dark side of the moon is miles ahead in sound quality,
composition, lyrics, atmosphere, concept and result

the wall is not even a second... before that I would put
almost any floyd album (meddle, I wish you were here, a
saucerful of secrets, atom heart mother.... and of course
animals)

Definitely lots of filler. Narrative or not, too much of the
music on there is sonically uninteresting. It's possible to
move a story without using sonically uninteresting tracks.
The story isn't great anyway.

Some awesome tunes on there though... it's cliche but
Another Brick Part 2 is damn cool, it's worthy of being so
popular. And Waiting for the Worms is one of my top 20
Floydtracks.

i prefer to watch the film as opposed to the album. hearing
just the music feels like its deffinately missing
something.

dark side, on the other hand.... probably the most expertly
composed cohesive album of all time.

the movie is pretty cool... i hate the music except for a
few songs. basically, i hate pink floyd as a rule...
they're near the top of my list of most overrated bands
ever.
