THE REVIEW
Knowing that it's practically impossible to stumble upon this work to write a review; that this is not an album, but a true "masterpiece"; that no one will ever remove this album from the foundations, the "Bibles" of music history; that with anything written about these 26 tracks, one risks making blunders, forgetfulness, colossal errors; knowing all this, and also knowing that there will be many negative criticisms aimed at this "non-review" (as I have already done for "Wish You Were Here"), I leave you with some true Poems (with a capital P) contained in this, which is a real work of art created with guitars, bass and drums in place of brush, colors, and canvas...with this double album, dreaming with open eyes is not at all an endeavor...
"Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry./ Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true./ Mother's gonna put all her fears into you./ Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing./ She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing./ Mama will keep baby cozy and warm./ Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby/ Of course mama'll help to build the wall." (Mother)
"Momma loves her baby/ And daddy loves you too./And the sea may look warm to you babe/ And the sky may look blue/ But ooooh Baby/ Ooooh baby blue/ Oooooh babe." (The Thin Ice)
"Ooooh, babe/ Don't leave me now./ Don't say it's the end of the road./ Remember the flowers I sent./ I need you, babe" (Don't leave me now)
"We don't need no education/ We dont need no thought control/ No dark sarcasm in the classroom/ Teachers leave them kids alone" (Another Brick in the Wall Part 2)
"Is there anybody out there?/ Is there anybody out there?/ Is there anybody out there?/ Is there anybody out there" (Is There Anybody Out There)
This is enough to describe what is contained in this undoubtedly epic CD. Absolutely no comments, descriptions, stories are needed...everything would be useless and reductive, no matter what is written and how it is written.
"The Wall" is irremediably in each of us, and it always will be. After listening to it once, it will never leave us. And that is a good thing.
"Goodbye, all you people, There's nothing you can say, To make me change my mind. Goodbye."

Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd formed in London in 1965 and became a defining force in psychedelic and progressive rock. The classic lineage spans Syd Barrett’s founding vision, Roger Waters’ conceptual leadership, Richard Wright’s harmonic textures, Nick Mason’s pulse, and David Gilmour’s arrival in 1968, shaping their signature sound.237 Reviews

one of the most unbearable monstrosities in rock history
the final result is a dull and colorless hodgepodge of worn-out stadium hard rock, techno-instrumental appendages, second-hand disco music, classical-like wallpapers, and fake 30s cabaret
By AngeloLecce87
The Wall is Roger Waters' outpouring, developed between the loss of his father during World War II and the deterioration of his friend Syd Barrett.
The songs must be heard in the context of the album and not individually; small details like a baby's cry and warplanes make this album so touching.

"Watching the film, it’s not just the eyes that are working, nor the ears: what is most affected is our imagination, our fantasy."
"What is The Wall really?... on one side, the surrender to what life offers us... on the other, the opportunity to give something to life... two things separated by a huge wall..."
By jimi
The Wall, for me, is the ultimate work I’ve ever heard capable of conveying emotions.
When you think that in this album, everything about solos has already been said, here comes Dave, who turns everything upside down, with superlative bends and accelerations that are terrifying.
By Emanuel Fantoni
Roger Waters’ ability to express himself is outrageously clever. He is a genius.
The Wall is not just an album to listen to; it is an album to be explored.
