Editorial Review:
Average Rating:

- It seems hard to beat masterpieceEven having the greatest names in prog-rock available for this project,
former YES man BILLY SHERWOOD couldn't do a much.It is only a good copy
of the original Roger Waters WORK,nothing different in sound or arrangements.I would expect more,especially from the men mentioned in credits.They should try harder,put new spirit in that old classic album.
I still like it,it's worth the money.But those guys have too much respect
for Waters and Pink Floyd.

- 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.

- Interesting, but couldn't reach meFaithfull singing (and playing), some intelligent takes, some less. I don't think this can bring a new light on Waters' masterpiece - it is not a very subtle reading. The way the music is played here doesn't seem to help the script. The Wall - live in Berlin is a much better experience in this respect.

- Back Against the WallO.K., this is faithful to the original, but not as slavishly as other people who have reviewed this say. I just picked this up and am amazed at the subtlety of the playing. The person who reviewed and said that this is a "note for note" reproduction has never seen the sheet music.
The musicians, as has been said before, are amazing. Steve Morse was undersatedly brilliant. Ian Anderson was an interesting pick. It's nice to see Gary Green (Gentle Giant) recording again. There are ... Read More

- A tribute to literalness.You've gotta be kidding! Sure, it's all expertly played, but it's so slavishly FAITHFUL that what's the point? Got news for you, friends, it ain't a tribute to play something "correctly" in a popular music idiom, it's a waste of time! Spend the money you would've laid out for this on Luther Wright and The Wrong's REBUILD THE WALL. Now THAT'S a tribute!
