PINK FLOYD's rock-opera The Wall is definitely one of the most artistic and perfect pieces of music ever written. Roger Waters' concept and lyrics are a work of genius, and while this is not as complex musically as many of previous FLOYDian progressive works, the band still manages to maintain the typical atmosphere of their music present here, in a full emotional and meaningfully deep work.

Starting out with strong and heavy 'In The Flesh', the album starts already in frustuation, sadness, and anger. The musician "Pink"'s father has died in the World War II when he was a baby. The first LP is about him hating reality and building a wall on his mind to hide from it and let insanity take over him. This LP includes the highlights 'Another Brick On The Wall pt I' with its echo guitar; 'Mother' with its beauty and guitar solo ; "Goodbye Blue Sky" also with mellow darkness, "Don't Leave Me Down" due to the psychedelic atmosphere. The rest of the songs are all solid and at the end of the first LP, The wall is complete.

The Second LP is about Pink Floyd being inside the wall, losing all sense and becoming insane imagining being a Hitler like figure, until he shouts 'STOP!' and confronts his problems and succeeds. The opener is a big highlight of the album with its pretty acoustic section contrasted with the heaviness following which contains the trademark Wall guitar riff. The next song is also a highlight with its soft acoustic piece of beauty. "Comfortably Numb" is a famous tune which contains a great sing along chorus, and two of the best guitar solos from Gilmour. Other favorites are "Run Like Hell" in which you can clearly feel paranoia in the music and of course the climax "The Trial" which contains a very majestic arrangement of strings and explodes in guitars and a deep Voice of the Judge.

The Wall is a landmark in the history of rock music.
