Well, The Wall is without a doubt my least favorite popular Floyd work. I don't even find it bad, it's passable and all. Its concept really does not nearly speak as deeply as Roger obviously would have liked to... Hence my comparison to it 'being about walls'. My friend who hails it as a favorite praises its musical diversity... I really don't think a mediocre stab at adding in occasional 'awkward' instrumentation brings anything new to the picture. Wish You Were, Animals, and Meddle were all much more consistent and brilliant... And all had a hell of a lot more Rick.
