BACK AGAINST THE WALL (A TRIBUTE TO PINK FLOYD)

O.K., this is faithful to the original, but not as slavishly as other people who have reviewed this say. I just picked this up and am amazed at the subtlety of the playing. The person who reviewed and said that this is a "note for note" reproduction has never seen the sheet music.

The musicians, as has been said before, are amazing. Steve Morse was understatedly brilliant. Ian Anderson was an interesting pick. It's nice to see Gary Green (Gentle Giant) recording again. There are so many, I'm not going to continue naming them. They all bring something interesting to the table.

Is this CD close to the original? Yes. The same? No. Is it a tribute? Absolutely.

If you are a fan of Pink Floyd, or The Wall, and don't want other's interpretations, don't get this. In fact don't get any tribute albums, ever. If you want to hear some of the best musicians around lovingly rework The Wall material, you've come to the right place.

Buy this album, it's very good.
