the trial

Thats definitely one of my favorite songs on the Album. I really like the song because it's so nuts. It makes sense after you listen to it, and learn about how crazy Pink was.

I've always thought that was one of the more powerful songs on the album. I remember how much I enjoyed the "TEAR DOWN THE WALL" bit when I first bought The Wall years ago.

When I first heard the trial I hated it. It's not a very rocking song, it's kind of weird. I think people just like it because they're supposed to. most people, not all of'em.

I like it because it's good. Songs don't have to "rock" to be good.

its good to hear roger use a different voice for the characters, rather than his normal, whiney voice

It's quite good, I never thought Pink Floyd would take inspiration from Gilbert & Sullivan but there you have it. And the live versions are priceless... how Roger managed to pull that off night after night, I'll never know.

It's definitely the best song on the album. It basically sums up all the madness of the album into one awesome piece. Roger sounds truly crazed.

I learned the song on piano, by ear, from the demo, and it's fun to try and sing along while playing it and sound like a madman.

Great song, one of the best songs, top ten!

Deffinatly one of the best songs on the album, it also comes as quite a shock. The whole album is in blocks with each song relating back to a central musical style, then at the end this mad unerving song comes along with a style all it's own. It's a great closer and works as a trial asthe fact it is so different makes you nervous of it at first like a real trial. If only it could have been followed up by something more assertive then OTW.

outside the wall is a beutiful song in my opinion...it makes you think and doesnt give you a direct ending to the album, i like it that way

When floyd did the wall Live, were Rogers different charecter voices actually live? As i was listening to a live version and then watched a live performance i got the impression that the only live part was Pink singing his part.

Dunno, all you could see was the wall with the cartoon animation being projected onto it. The band could have been backstage having a cup of tea for all we knew.

I love The Trial. It's totally badass!
