LemonMelon said:The Wall is arguably the most fluid and well written rock opera of all time. It really is quite ingenious. The problem is that most of the songs aren't up to the quality of the albums the band released before it.
This man's got it.
In my opinion, the album wouldn't have WORKED without the "fodder" songs like "Bring the Boys Back Home" and "The Happiest Days of Our Lives." They serve as great transitions and manage to further the story and prepare the listener for the real highlights. The Wall is in no way an album of singles, but it was never meant to be. It's meant to be listened to as a whole, and when it is, it might just be the greatest thing Pink Floyd ever produced.
