Amazon.com Essential Recording
The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right. "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtle, incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

 what a laugh!! January 5, 2009

If I don't start crying I will burst out laughing. There are actually 3 good songs here and they're not even typical Floydian songs. Hey, come on, it is so obvious they were drained of all inspiration here, even Obscured by clouds is a 100 times superior to this hokey pokey mishmesh of bad ideas.
OK here goes: - Goodbye blue sky, nice, catchy ditty, alike ELO
- Vera, new approach by treading old grounds
- In the Flash, almost like a tape-loop of electronic pop.
the rest is, I'm sorry to say, below par.
WHAT A LAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
