Great album, although not as good as Dark Side, Animals, Division Bells or Wish You Were Here.
It has some fillers but also some of the greatest songs of all time.

This. Just re-bought it again new for Black Friday as my copy has been overplayed since my Mum picked it up in 1980 and isn't sounding too hot these days.
It's definitely not the last two. It's a great album, but it started showing the cracks of a Waters-led band. I still really enjoyed it but I'd rather listen to Atom Heart Mother or Dark Side any day of the week.
I always wished "What Shall We Do Now?" had been included on the album, though the warped-sounding transition into "Young Lust" is a nice touch.
I appreciate patina on carbon steel chef knives but my ears don't appreciate it much on vinyl lol :(
So ya...thought ya...might like to...go to the show.
This somehow sneaked into being my favorite Floyd album a couple of years ago after considering a good portion to be filler for so long. I love how it repeats motifs and melodies. It all repeats.

First album I ever got when it was released. I was 9. Played the entirety of it at my school christmas party. I remember one of my teachers being very surprised I had the album. Used to doodle the Gerald Scarfe teacher when I was bored at school. And just as importantly it was the reason I learned to play guitar.
Let's just say it absolutely help define my musical, philosophical and political thinking for years to come.

I want to go home
Take off this uniform and leave the show
And I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time?
I fucking love Stop. Great Album, Animals is my favourite, but damn The Wall is great.

Amazing album. My dad bought it back when it launched and he still has the record, though in very bad state cuz it got soaked with water one time and the cover got an ugly green kind of moisture. The vinyls are still fine though. Buttttttttt, I still consider Dark Side to be the absolute GOAT from Pink Floyd.
I don't think it's poor but it's not nearly as good as the 3 albums that preceded it and I just find it kind of a slog. I don't listen to it much when I'm in the mood for Pink Floyd.
Incredible album. I prefer DSOTM but The Wall is s ambitious and raw. There was a fantastic exhibition at the V&A a couple of years ago which I'm so glad I go to see (twice).
Amazing album, I prefer Animals and WYWH but it's wonderful. I want a time machine to see the live show.
The live album is brilliant as well.

I only got into pink Floyd 5 years ago and they are so damn good I wish I listened to it earlier.
Animals is better đź‘€
Still, an amazing album and all-time classic, can't deny that.

Yeah. I'm a huge Floyd fan but I rarely listen to anything post-Animals. TBH I don't listen to Wish You Were Here much either.
