This is better than MC because the songs are better, but both of them are practically blueprints for how not to make a double album
Hate to say it, but I think the Wall is the boi here. Or Leaves Turn Inside You hmmm

Trout Mask Replica and Tago Mago and Bitches Brew and Freak Out and Uncle Meat and Zen Arcade and anything but The Wall.

Nothing wrong with The Wall getting a mention

The Wall is a perfect example of how a strong concept and good sequencing can elevate a bunch of weaker tracks
Now *that's* a journey

I think literally the opposite of Johnny: the narrative “daemon” thing (I’m talkin Angus Fletcher baby) that guides The Wall’s conceptual arc is way less compelling than the best band ever fuckin around for 70-or-whatever minutes

I only like the riff from “in the flesh” off the wall anymore. “Comfortably numb,” “brick,” really anything else not for me

Will not fall for the discursive sleight of hand that is drafting yourself into the ranks of Uncool Thing Defender



The battle of wits is on. That said rly tho I only like three or so songs from The Wall but it was def a big huge journey when I was young. Very important album to me, just didn’t age well

nah that is okay. Certainly The Wall is popular in the mainstream and its 4.3 shows that many users think that as well



But if I were to say if Sputnik's ACTIVE community likes The Wall? Nah, I'd think I'd be in the minority for that. So it's not like you're talking non sense or anything



Concept albums not being cool does sound a little bit like a generalization

The wall is good but def the least of the "classic" Floyd albums. One of those "okay this band is ridiculously talented but still trying to bite off a smidge more than they can chew" dealies

My love for it has certainly decreased over the years, but it is still my fourth favorite Floyd
