THE WALL

Reasonable album overall but miles below some of the earlier material like Wish You Were Here, Animals or Meddle. Waters is too dominant in the composition and it's only when Gilmour gets involved that the music rises above the just OK, as on Comfortably Numb. There are some real horrors too; how did Young Lust ever get recorded? Floyd are best when Wright and Gilmour are let loose and Wright is almost anonymous on this album. Would have been better with the crap removed and in single LP format; there's too much padding. Interesting concept, imperfect execution.
