THE WALL

Conceptually, its brilliant. Musically, its a little weak. This mostly due to Gilmours waning influence. This more of a Roger Waters album with pink floyd doing backup. This shows in the writing, which is absolutely brilliant. But the music falls short. Inconsistent track quality bugs me. Great songs like "Comfortably Numb" are contrasted sharply by songs like "Young Lust," which is the worst song on the album, and one of my least-favourite floyd songs of all time. There is no denying the lyrical and conceptual brilliance this album contains, but the music just does not live up to it.
