THE WALL

This album has some great moments, but has some incomprehensibly un-Floyd moments and the flow of the album suffers greatly. Its essentially a Waters solo album, and there is just too much of him and not enough Floyd. That said, there is a lot of great material. It would make a very fine single LP, had an editor judiciously cut some of the nonsense out. The Beach Boys harmonies are just so anomalous and incongruous that the album suffers greatly as a whole.

So, and this might not make much sense thematically, but I cut out nearly half of Disk 2, and made a new CD, starting with those tracks from Disk 2, and then continuing with all of Disk 1. I think it makes a much more consistent work; it all fits one one CD and makes a much better album, if you will. The Wall as released warrants a solid 3 stars, but my new re-configured album gets an extra star.
