When people praise Animals and The Final Cut but call The Wall a piece of crap it really makes no damn sense at all, I think everyone is basing their opinions on the album's status more than it's actual quality.
No I base it on nothing but what I hear. I would like to think that I am not influenced by any secondary opinions regarding music and whether you agree with my opinions or not, I would like to think that as a fan for over 20 years of the floyd I at least my views are true to myself and not mere vitriol to ingratiate myself into popular opinion. I LIKE The Wall. I'm a Floyd fan to the day I die but it's over exposure and many banal songs lead me to other works that are more rewarding PERSONALLY. Music is for me and no one else and I wont change that ever.
