I have to agree on "The Wall" is it a bad album... not really. However my issue with is I think of it in context to the Movie was made about it. Now, I think in this case the songs work well within the context of the movie, you get the visuals that are required to truely appreciate the songs in all their glory. Within the movie they are great as they help move along and tell the story in a great way. Now take away the visual aspect of it all, and you are left with a series of songs on there own... Now as an album, without the visuals to go with it, it just doesn't work the same for me.
I think if they were to cut down the album to a single disc, it would be a more fulfilling experience to me. It just has so many songs that feel like filler to without the video to go with it, the songs by themselves are not that strong a lot of the time.
It is in my opinion Pink Floyd's most overrated album because of that.
