5 stars I remember my brother always saying that the "Wall" was a masterpiece. I recall him saying it was one of the top three Pink Floyd albums of all time. For a few years i found the album to a little annoying and too complex of an album to understand. But, a few months ago i listened to the album and found a lot of songs to be simply amazing. Comfortably Numb has to be the best song on the entire album. The powerful lyrics are very compelling and the guitar solo by gilmour remains a favorite of mine. Run- Like has an upbeat sound with a good laugh of a crazied man laugh and tire screechs really add to the joy of playing the song. The Trial is a song that main character Pink puts his actions and his behavior to the courts and the ruling was as following- The evidence before the court is incontravertible. There's no need for the jury to retire. In all my years of judging I have never heard before, Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law. The way you made them suffer, Your exquisite wife and mother, Fills me with the urge to deficate! No, Judge, the jury! Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear, I sentence you to be exposed before your peers. Tear down the wall!

Young Lust and one of my turns are great songs on disc one, and both play an important message of life's unexpectancy.

The album i think is trying to tell us that Life is a good thing and that people tend to build walls around themselves through all the hardships in life, which can sometimes be very bad. Tearing down the wall and fighting the hardships of life is something I felt the Judge had to rule!
