Musically I could make a pretty good one disc album out of this but then I realise that wouldn't work theatrically . I like a fair bit of it as I say but its not an album I would play without skipping large portions. I voted it a 3.
I think it might be my favourite Pink Floyd album, though there are a few songs I always skip. I wish "What Shall We Do Now" was on the original album. Overall though, it's good stuff.
must admit was a favourite when it was out and had the pleasure of seeing them twice perform it live and back then was quite dissapointed,but now as years have passed,books been read and comments been made i realised i was a very lucky guy and now the wall is back on my most played list and fav track of all comfy numb is played all the time ,its my ring tone on my mobile, and now the regular trip to see ausie floyd will be very interesting this time around as the wall is being done,

And i listen to them over and over, and never get bored!
Interesting that you mention that, I have always thought The Wall (1979) was heavily influenced by The Lamb (1974), in the artistic aproach of the whole thing: conceptual story-telling double album about a young man and all the sh*t that is happening inside his mind, all heavily theatrically stage it when played live. No wonder the Floyd decided aganist using a Hipgnosis cover just like they had done in all their previous albums.

But Floyd did conceptuals before Lamb, and Lamb's cover was designed by Hipgnosis
