It seems like there’s a pronounced split between fans of the music and fans of the lyrics
I’ve seen people rave about Echoes, and tons of people love Shine on You Crazy Diamond, while both have almost zero value to me. I think WYWH is a great 3 songs and then a boring waste of the remaining 35 minutes. While for the people who groove on that, the general lack of extended soaring orchestral meanderings in the Final cut makes it a clunker. And similarly your opinion of the wall—probably not a coincidence that you only like Comfortably Numb which has that element to it among all the songs on the album. Animals is probably the sweet spot that has both to the greatest extent, and Dark Side as well, although it tilts towards the music side.  Previous Message Im not a huge fan of live albums but DSOT has always been one of my favorite PF ones. Unpopular opinion: The Wall is wildly overrated. Take out Comfortably Numb and the album is very meh to me.  Previous Message Unassailable. 1) Animals 2) WYWH 3) Atom Heart Mother 4) Dark side 5) the wall 6) the division bell 7) meddle 8) obscured by clouds 9) more 10) momentary lapse of reason 11) saucerful of secrets 12) the Final Cut 13) piper at the gates of dawn
