One of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, The Wall is renowned as  Roger Waters' Rock Opera dealing with abandonment and personal isolation.  Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album also yielded the US &  UK No. 1 hit Another Brick In The Wall Pt2., and was subsequently adapted for  cinema by Alan Parker featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role.

Since 1967 Pink Floyd have produced one of the most outstanding and enduring  catalogues in the history of recorded music. The albums have been painstakingly  remastered from the original analogue tapes by James Guthrie, Joel Plante, and  Bernie Grundman.

The story revolves around the fictional Pink Floyd's isolation behind a  psychological wall. The wall grows as various parts of his life spin out of  control, and he grows incapable of dealing with his neuroses. The album opens by  welcoming the unwitting listener to Floyd's show ("In the Flesh?"), then turns  back to childhood memories of his father's death in World War II ("Another Brick  in the Wall, Pt. 1"), his mother's over protectiveness ("Mother"), and his  fascination with and fear of sex ("Young Lust"). By the time "Goodbye Cruel  World" closes the first disc, the wall is built and Pink is trapped in the midst  of a mental breakdown. On disc two, the gentle acoustic phrasings of "Is There  Anybody Out There?" and the lilting orchestrations of "Nobody Home" reinforce  Floyd's feeling of isolation. When his record company uses drugs to coax him to  perform ("Comfortably Numb"), his onstage persona is transformed into a  homophobic, race-baiting fascist ("In the Flesh"). In "The Trial," he mentally  prosecutes himself, and the wall comes tumbling down. This ambitious concept  album was an across-the-board smash, topping the Billboard album chart for 15  weeks in 1980. The single "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2" was the country's  best-seller for four weeks." - Rovi Staff, allmusic
