An album, which is said it was one of the best of his drawer first must once have the property to contain not a bad song. There would, for example, U2 "Achtung, Baby!" Jewel "Pieces of you" or Travis "The Man Who". "The Wall" but has a lot more to offer. It is sometimes gentle as Mozart ("Another Brick in the Wall Part 1"), sometimes brutal as van Beethoven ("The Happiest Days of our Lives"), there is also occasionally the usual snippets of conversation that show here why the main character is crazy slow totally sealed off. This brings us to the content: a young man, "Pink", musicians, the walls built around them more and more. There are beautiful texts sometimes poetic, sometimes come along powerfully. One should really make the effort and try to translate everything. I started with this album my life as a Pink Floyd fan, and when I knew the other works prior to 1985 (as was Roger Waters) and partly a biography of Waters, I understood the album completely. The content is semi-autobiographical (also Waters father died in World War II in the Navy) and semi-invented. At the very beginning you realize that it is not harmonious, relaxing Pink Floyd album. "In the Flesh?" Can be the same again show that this is a hard, troubled and personal album. With "One of my turns" I always want to turn my system on maximum. "Is there anybody out there?" Has a guitar that sounds as if it was a few hundred years ago, added. "Comfortably Numb" is simply indescribable. "The Trial" is finally then the last big bang, when Pink is on trial, and his mother, his old teacher and the judge took the floor. When his entire environment, "tear down the wall" calls, you want to shout along to favorite "In conclusion," Outside the Wall "you can hear a simple children's choir, an accordion and you want to listen again to all the stress it then applies again to process. "The Wall" is such a complex concept album that took two Cds b to Bannen (what else most Best of albums have) came out and also as a film. The film is without knowledge and understanding of the album completely uninteresting, but when you have the, you really want to see how it was visually implemented, namely very good. The live performances of it (be sure the live album from '80 / '81 pick) was a breathtaking spectacle and unfortunately were never completely banned on film (as I understand). It would be no wonder if it would be published as a theater play, it is textually and musically this ideal; and the more one turns to this work, the more you think about it, how much because actually the own walls of the personality. And finally my conclusion: After this album has to be redefined the word "masterpiece".
