About this album

EMI UK (2001) Released: 30 Apr 2001 26 tracks (80:58)
The Wall is a rock opera presented as a double album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on November 30th, 1979. It was subsequently performed live, with elaborate theatrical effects, and made into a film.

Following in the footsteps of their previous albums, The Wall is a concept album — specifically, it deals largely with the theme of isolation from one’s peers. The concept was largely inspired by the band’s 1977 tour promoting the album Animals, with regards to an incident where Roger Waters’ frustration with the audience reached a point where Waters spat in the face of a fan who was attempting to climb on stage; this, in turn, led him to lament that such a wall exists. With its significantly darker theme, The Wall featured a notably harsher and more theatrical sound than their previous releases.

The Wall is a rock opera that centres on the character “Pink”. Largely based on Waters’ personal life, Pink struggles in life from an early age, having lost his father in war (“Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)”), abused by teachers (“The Happiest Days of Our Lives”), nurtured by an overprotective mother (“Mother”), and deserted by his wife later on (“Don’t Leave Me Now”) — all of which factored into Pink’s mental isolation from society, figuratively referred to as “The Wall”.

    "There are other reasons to listen to music besides to have fun." [IBrokeTheOath comment] LOL .. so true and yet it makes me laugh. Perhaps I've gone mad. Fucking mad for fucking years, actually. Anyway, yeah The Wall is one of those classics that has its own special place in my DNA.

    Ridiculously good. Some bands, and some albums, wakes up emotions in you. The Wall gives me both sadness and joy - so many emotions - and shivers. Everything. Probably the best album ever, I mean, come on.

    When I saw Roger Waters last year playing live in the Globe Arena, Sweden, it was not just a concert - it was a whole show when he performed "The Wall". The music combined with all those political pictures and statues that they used made the music feel so much more easy to interpret. I had goose bumps through the whole gig.

    "This is not fun to listen to, and consequently a bad album." There are other reasons to listen to music besides to have fun.
