Pink Floyd – The Wall First Japanese Press With OBI "Pink Floyd – The Wall" is the eleventh studio album by the British rock band Pink Floyd and was released in 1979. It is one of the band's most well-known and influential albums and has also become an iconic part of rock music history. The album was conceived by Roger Waters and tells a dark, autobiographically inspired story that spans the course of the entire album. The story that "The Wall" tells is about a fictional rock star named Pink who builds a metaphorical "wall" around himself due to traumatic events in his life. This wall represents his emotional isolation and alienation from the world. The album goes through different phases in Pink's life, starting with his childhood and adolescence, depicting traumatic events such as the loss of his father in World War II and his mother's repressive parenting methods. "The Wall" is versatile and ranges from rock and progressive passages to acoustic and orchestral elements. Some of the album's best-known songs include "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)," "Comfortably Numb," "Hey You," and "Mother." Not only are these songs musically outstanding, but they also contribute to the telling of Pink's story. In addition to the album, "The Wall" was also performed as an elaborate live show, considered one of the most spectacular stage productions in the history of rock music. The band played the album in its entirety in front of a huge wall that built up throughout the concert, gradually separating the members from their audience to represent Pink's isolation. "The Wall" is not only a musical masterpiece, but also a profound concept album that addresses themes of isolation, war, trauma and personal growth. It is an important work in rock music history and further established Pink Floyd as one of the most influential and innovative rock bands of all time. With around 30 million copies sold The Wall is one of the world's most successful albums Tracklist: A1 In The Flesh?
