This is rather stupid, to show the graphics from The Wall, which was the disco album produced by "the surrogate band", and not a heart-felt expression of Pink Floyd..

over this music, which was deeply soulful and from an entirely, starkly contrasting era

at least be appropriate, this would be better with just the still of the album cover,

not the art of coke-fried, post-psychedelic Pink Floyd, which they admit

is such and made a huge joke of..

..go ask The Magic Eye

@fatchants = rather stupid? are you very well familiar with the lyrical, conceptual and thematic work of Roger Waters, within Pink Floyd or as a solo artist? if so, I think you'd realize that this track was in fact the first that would plant the seed, touching on themes that would later to explode in full on Floyd's 1979 "the Wall" release.

("Free Four" is another track track, following this one, that touches on the subject of his father's death and the matter of time... then we get "Dark Side")

[fatchants]

you have no idea what you're talking about man, it's so sad. this is press fodder, not deep heavy shit like what Pink Floyd were into. "ooh my dad died and I'm angry about war now", Billy Joel is capable of writing a song about that. so is my little sister. you have to at least explore strong psychedelic compounds to understand the lyrical references. it's not grade school social studies man.. you believe what you read that they told the magazines? lol are you a "sheep"? Use your brain :)

[robotorb]

@fatchants = at this point, I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. good luck!

I don't understand why people don't like the wall. It was such a good album imo. I know that David Gilmour didn't like it, same with the other members. But, i don't know, i just thought it had a good meaning to it. And just in case someone wants to tell me that i have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm pretty sure i do lol I'm not stupid.

P.S. fatchants, you should be a little nicer to robotorb. If someone doesn't share the same opinion with you, that doesn't make their's stupid. Grow up.

It is bizarre but Music From the Body id actually a very interesting album, mixing Roger Waters songs with eccentric string quartet pieces. Themes of future Floyd songs are sprinkled within. The songs are like apocalyptic lullabies.

@fatchants yes i agree the wall was not there best but look inside the book of roger he did write some good stuff what about the pros and cons mt do you like that

[fatchants]

@Toro6559 lol yeah close your eyes first. like with everything Floyd. :)

[fatchants]

@MrTaximusic Floyd were smarter than most people who listen to them, they read a lot of *books* as well as looked at the Pictures

'The Wall' was a seething joke to make fools of people who would buy that album, it was a self-fulfilling "we're selling out" declaration. It was a PLAY, and unlike everything before it (except perhaps WYWH, but that's a whole other Long Serious Discussion), 'The Wall' wasn't something that came from the heart, at all, it was sarcastically _typical rock drama_.

@fatchants have a moment of clarity mt and a large cigar

Everybody shut the fuck up and enjoy the song.
