5 stars The last Prog Rock LP of the Prog Rock era.

The Wall like Dark Side of the Moon is seen as a masterpiece, and the last LP to feature Roger, David, Nick and Rick together as a band.

The Wall is Floyd's proper studio double LP as Ummagumma was rteally a live/studio set.

The album features dark, beautiful and somehow disburbing songs, and also features the smah hit "Another Brick in the Wall".

My favourites include:

Comfortably Numb: a beautiful and a sad song, with mellow, symphonic appearance, great lyrics, very moving, and an awesome Guitar Solo from Gilmour. (Rating 4/5).

Run Like Hell: fast, rough, raw, punchy track, just a great rock track almost Punk in a way. (Rating 5/5)

Hey You: an epic, soft, mellow but disturbing track, excellent bass solo almost like a slithering sound, nice to bop along too. (Rating 4/5)

Mother: starts of slow and quiet with soft acoustic mellow sounds, Roger sings in a husky voice which I like very much, and anytime the bass, electric guitar and piano kicks in and changes that mood. (Rating 5/5)

plus there are other classics on the album too, be aware that the album contain a dark and disturing atomosphere but there are uplifting tracks.

A rock masterpiece, and a theatre show through loudspeakers, epic - maybe so, but a Prog classic.

PROGMAN | 5/5 |
