THE WALL

Nothing to do with the Pink Floyd I loved: no trippy instrumental parts, songs instead of suites, no musical innovations, a record too long for such a limited singer like Roger. Dave's guitar playing lacks personality, it is full of commonplaces, sounds like any other good player. This bunch of songs ( some quite good, naturally ) don't sound progressive at all to me ( to hear a helicopter linking two songs is not my idea of prog ). And about the lyrics, well, I don't think that's the reason why anybody would listen to prog-rock. When it came out, it was the only PF record I didn't enjoy. A huge disapointment. Even if I was a big fan.
