Amazon.com Essential Recording
The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right. "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtle, incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

 Plays well and fast shipping. December 1, 2008
Basically what's said in the title. The album was cheap and works well. Furthermore, I ordered it on a Wednesday night and received it that same Saturday. I am very satisfied.
Great Pink Floyd music. November 25, 2008

"The Wall" is a Pink Floyd standard. It has some of the commercial hits, but also some tunes you may have not heard in the mainstream but you will love these too. Great music to add or start your Pink Floyd collection.

Glad to be of any help! Robbie Saxton, New England

After basically ignoring THE WALL for years once I decided that I had no patience with Roger Waters' whining all the way to the bank, I've come to the conclusion that the listener does not have to buy in to Waters' monomaniacal view of his lot in life to be bowled over by the songs and how they're presented. "Comfortably Numb," "Mother," "Goodbye Blue Sky" and "Hey You" still sound great after all these years, and kudos to David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright--as well as Waters himself-- for giving them musical heft. Sonically, the album is magnificent. So, a great package, but as far as concept albums about how lousy it is to be a rock star go, I'll take WISH YOU WERE HERE over this any day. Or, for that matter, Syd Barrett's THE MADCAP LAUGHS.
