Comments for Pink Floyd, THE WALL (Limited Edition 24-Karat Gold CD)

From the Gibraltar Encyclopaedia of Progressive Rock: The Wall - Overblown, self-pitying "World War II was a world-wide conspiracy to deprive me of my father' BS. This is not to belittle the tragedies of war and/or the loss of fathers. It can make for compelling subject matter. But notice I said "can." Any subject matter, no matter how important or compellingly tragic, can be given a treatment that would make even the most indulgent listener want to slap the songwriter around and shout, "WHO CARES???" To be honest, I don't see much effort on Waters' part to actually write lyrics; many of the songs seem not to be much more than notes for an autobiographical story or an essay. To be fair, though, it does have some nice moments--mostly on the songs Gilmour co-wrote - but I can't imagine listening to all four sides at once.

WOW...THIS ALBUM MUST REALLY SUCK!!! JUST LOOK AT THE LOW RATINGS!!!

Nothing could be more dreadful than the redundant Roger Waters era. Animals-The Wall-TBC... 3 VIRTUALLY identical records in a row. Self-plagiarised and very boring.

Voted as the second worst Pink Floyd album on the PF internet poll site, slightly ahead of "The Final Cut".

Everyone! Go back to your hi-fi and fire up this album again. Maybe it's because you just don't get it. This is THE BEST Pink Floyd Album since Dark Side of the Moon. Period.

An in-depth well-written and thought out masterpiece. One who is critical of the works of Pink Floyd should take a good long look in the mirror and realize how useless their squealing has become. Pink Floyd has been embraced and welcomed in the U.S. as a major group. They aren't insulting, just a group attempting to make a statement. Anyone cold to such memories of the past are surely doomed to continue in the footsteps of our ancestors.

This is a lame album. The ratings speak for itself. Enough said.

PINK FLOYD is the best and was wondering how I could get a copy of the wall in 24 karat gold, I haven't been able to find it anywhere, please help-thanks
