Some months back I started going through my Pink Floyd collection from Piper At The Gates Of Dawn with the intention of running through to The Endless River, but got stuck when I got to The Wall. While I used to listen to this record a lot as a teenager, it’s sort of worn on me, both with how overplayed it is and the dark worldview that Roger Waters was pushing… and I don’t really want to hear all that much at this point in my life. All that said, I can’t deny it’s a brilliant album and it sounds fucking amazing. I’m very happy to have it in my collection, but it’ll probably be another 15 years or so before I give it a spin.
Original 1979 US pressing on Columbia. I picked this up at one of the first record shows I had ever attended in the late 1980s for $3, along with other $3 LPs from The Doors, Sugarloaf, and Led Zeppelin.
