An all-star performance of a classic
This was very good! Very true to the original with subtle but clever twists. In almost every song, the right musicians were selected. Sherwood & Sherwood meddle (pardon pun :-) in every song, but they're mostly good for it. Here's the breakdown of notable guest performances."In The Flesh?" wastes no time bringing out two of the best available people with Keith Emerson and Alan White."The Thin Ice" nicely uses Ian Anderson."Mother" was a great collaboration of White with John Wetton and Adrian Belew."Goodbye Blue Sky" was a wonderful use of guitar master Steve Howe - great enhancements here!"Another Brick...Pt.3" brought Levin and Steve Porcaro together for a great performance.Tommy Shaw was great for vocals on 3 songs and Tony Levin was great for a few songs on bass."Hey You" brought together White, Wetton, Tommy Shaw (on guitar) and Geoff Downes and it sounded excellent."Is There Anybody Out There" brought back Ian Anderson for great flute enhancement."Nobody Home" featured kayboard wizard Rick Wakeman for a good performance (not extraordinary.)"Vera" was a nice collaboration between Howe on guitar and Shaw on vocals."Comfortably Numb" was probably the highlight of this album - Chris Squire on bass & vocals along with White and Sherwood gave a Yes/Conspiracy twist to this classic."Run Like Hell" was very good but strange. Dweezil Zappa did guitars and Tony Kaye is credited with a "keyboard solo." I put that in quotes because, in my educated opinion, playing 5 or so chords does not constitute a solo."Waiting For the Worms" - phew!!! they brought back Emerson with Levin."The Trial" starred Malcolm McDowell in a command performance - still not to be taken too seriously."Outside the Wall" featured narration by DJ Jim Ladd - an odd but effective choice.One odd thing about my copy of this CD (purchased from Amazon,)the liner notes were screwy. It lists a few tracks out of order and the last track, "Isn't This Where We Came In?" is missing completely. Not a hidden track as far as I can tell - the CD just ends.Still, I am very happy with this all-star performance!

I will admit I adore this album.........
Sometimes the lyrics are far more clearly spoken than in the original. It displays a very tangible sense of TRIBUTE to Pink Floyd and it's prime ceator Roger Waters , from some of the best musicians alive ! It maintains the nature of the subject with just a little bit........LESS , of ROGER's own very personal and wrenching ANGST being projected . This is not a criticism on anybody ! I had wondered if " WHEN THE TIGERS BROKE FREE " would be included as it is the MOVIE Version of this album. It is not. I suppose I really can understand why the rest of the band felt it just "TOO PERSONAL" for Roger , to be used in the album. IT was included of course in the LIVE performance of "THE WALL " I saw a few months ago in Nashville .

A big problem
I purchased the version with the Original Release Date: September 13, 2005.DO NOT BUY THIS ONE During the song "Nobody Home", at the 2:19 mark, a screaming guitar comes in for a second and a half and then is gone. It's not part of the song! I contacted Amazon and they let me download the same song from the Original Release Date: December 1, 2009 and that one plays fine. They said they'd have someone look into this problem to try to correct it.Again, 2005 bad, 2009 good. Otherwise, I think it's a fabulous album and I highly recommend it!

A worthy alternate version, covers by quality musicians.
Many good covers of a great work; Ian Anderson in particular, many more. Interesting; made me go play the much better original live bootleg I have, then the Live in Berlin,

Absolute perfection.
Some say why reinvent the wheel..hell why not when it is this perfect.Any major deviation from the original masterpiece will make most people very upset.Producing a perfect duplicate of the the original makes some people unhappy but its just what the doctor ordered for me.Don't get me wrong,i have the original Japan made masterpiece..but my opinion is that this cover album stands on its own and is highly recommended..get the Japan version.

Awesome!!!!
I recommend this album to any die-hard Pink Floyd fan who loves to hear different versions of their music played by tribute groups. This is one of the best tribute albums I have heard. As close to the original Wall music with some awesome twists.

A Tribute to Pink Floyd - Back Against The Wall
Not the same thing as the original work of Pink Floyd. Valley as a retrospective and well made with different interpretations, excellent musicians and good tunes. This album is a great work and deserved the cover. Good for those who know the original disk and Pink Floyd. Good Note 7.

あの「THE WALL」のカバーアルバム
オリジナルのTHE WALLは、ギター、ベース、ドラム、ヴォーカル以外の様々な要素(オペラ、クラシック等)がミックスされ、完成度の高いアルバムをつくりあげています。非常に解りやすく言いますが、ギター、ベース、ドラム、ヴォーカルのみで元々創られている曲は、非常に聴き応えがあり、オリジナルより思わず「うお!?」っと固まってしまうほどのクオリティを感じさせます。Disk1、4. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives 、Disk2.6. Comfortably Numb 9. Run Like Hell 等・・・ですが、それ以外のオペラ、クラシックを意識した楽曲群は、正直「こうなっちまったか・・・」みたいな感想を禁じ得ません。(やはり予算の関係でしょうか・・・・、ブラス、ストリングス、ピアノ、コーラスの部分が、ものすごく脆弱で無機質で、「うーん?」って感じです。)ですがこんな大作を、(元々ここまで偏執狂的なつくりの作品)を1から10まで再現しようという試みには、感服しました。数あるカバーアルバムでも、ここまでオリジナルに属したものは、私は聴いたことがありません。オリジナルの「THE WALL」を聴きまくってて、何か違った感じの「THE WALL」が聴きたいなって方は、聴いてみて損は無いと思います。逆に、「オリジナルの良さ」を再確認する意味でも、この作品を聴いてみる価値はあると思います。(音と音とのミクロレベルの微細なかけ合わせ方によってしか、新しい「音」は生まれないという事実はやはり本家「ピンク・フロイド」にしか確認できないでしょうし、あのSEと演奏の絶妙の駆け引きは決して他人には真似できないものです・・。)ちょっと思ったんですが、ヴォーカルに「切迫感」が足りない気がします。オリジナルは、やはり「壁の内側から搾り出されるような(何とかしてくれ!!)オーラ」を常に感じさせるクオリティですが、この作品は、何か・・要するに「なぞってる感じ」ですね。それでもこのアルバムには、かなり楽しませてもらってます。オリジナルと交互に聴くと、常に新たな発見があって、宝探しみたいな感覚で鑑賞することもできておもしろいです。

4枚目の『THE WALL』
オリジナル、THE WALL LIVE、LIVE IN BERLINに続いての4枚目の『THE WALL』です。世にトリビュートアルバムは数あれど、アルバムその物に対するトリビュートというのは珍しいのではないでしょうか。それだけ『THE WALL』というアルバムへのリスペクトを多くのミュージシャンが抱いているのでしょう。参加したメンバーの名前にそれが如実に表れています。キース・エマーソン/スティーブ・ハウ/リック・ウエイクマン/スティーブ・ルカサー/スティーブ・ポーカロ等々。更に、『コンフォタブリー・ナム』のようにオリジナルよりも良いのでは? と思えるような楽曲も中にはありますが、アレンジもSEもオリジナルに忠実だということが完成度の高さを表していると思います。26年の時を経て録音されたものですから、当然、音質は良好です。が、『ザ・ハピエスト・デイズ・オブ・アワ・ライヴズ』と『アナザー・ブリック・イン・ザ・ウォール(パート'U)の繋がりだけは何とかならなかったのかと……。ELPも真っ青のぶっ飛びもんです。それでも、良い作品であることは間違いありません。購入してから、ほぼ毎日のように聞いています。

まあそれなりに
ウォール全曲のトリビュートとは恐れ入りましたが、プレイヤーの個性が出ている曲は少ないです。映像ならまだしも音だけではオリジに忠実なのはいかがなものか?自分なりにオリジとこのアルバムを続けて聞けるよう編集しているが、リマスター プラスアルファ てとこでしょうか?曲のつなげ方も今一で、つんのめりそうになることも…。ある意味でオリジの完成度は高い!そう言いながらも毎日のように聞いている私は何?お勧め曲はコンファタブリーナムでスクワイアのボーカルが面白い。トリビュートならこちらもお勧めします。A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd (Various Artists) (インポート盤)
