Often considered more of a Roger Waters solo album, does this album deserve more of a look/a higher rating in the Pink Floyd discography?

Episode 35 covers the eleventh Pink Floyd studio album, 1979’s “The Wall.” It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded Rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall. The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks, and reaching number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the finest albums of all time. Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this progressive rock masterpiece as well as share personal stories of discovering Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” Tune in next week for Episode 36 covering the twelfth Pink Floyd studio album “The Final Cut”.

How does a band like Pink Floyd follow up “The Dark Side of the Moon” AND “Wish You Were Here”, two of the most commercially successful and globally revered albums of all time? “Animals” may be viewed as the black sheep sandwiched between three of the band’s most famous albums, but does it deserve to stand on its own as one of Pink Floyd’s strongest? Episode 34 covers the tenth Pink Floyd studio album, 1977’s “Animals” and for this episode, we are joined by our second special guest, father of Mark and Kevin, Mr. Michael Nadolski, who’s here to share his love for Pink Floyd and “Animals” in particular. Mark, Kevin, Michael, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this progressive rock masterpiece as well as share personal stories of discovering Pink Floyd’s “Animals.” Tune in next week for Episode 35 covering the eleventh Pink Floyd studio album “The Wall."
