The Wall Analysis

I don't know if it's a DT but I wanted to share a website with you:
http://home.mchsi.com/~ttint/

It's really complete, there's like 4000 or 5000 words on each song...

that link has been posted here b4;

I found this barrett site w/ some good d-loads:

Holy crap.

Thats one hell of an analysis.

If there was some way of contacting Roger Waters' representatives I'm sure Roger would enjoy looking at the website a lot.

Yeah, Roger could probably learn a lot about what the hell he meant by reading that.

Life's too short, frankly.

God that analysis is stupid, I only read about 5 lines but I feel I am still able to make a balanced judgement. Anyway here is a new link. Feel free to join with my sneering.

I wonder how it feels to have people analyze your art to such an extent.

I believe the analyst is way off in regard to When the Tigers Broke Free and places far too much significance on correlations between lyrics and film imagery, as well as deriving subliminal meaning from the title.

If I am not mistaken, and taking Ockham's cue as well as Simon's confirmation of my suspicions, I think the title merely refers to the push of Nazi Tiger tanks through the Allied defences at Anzio, which resulted in the loss of a "few hundred ordinary lives" including that of the father of Roger Waters.

That is to say, "when the tiger [tanks] broke free."

The rest sounds like extremely plausible psychobabble.

Well, "The Wall," came out when I entered secondary school. I knew enough about Pink Floyd then to know that they were a, "big deal," but at the time, where I lived KISS was the big thing, and I paid more attention to them in those days, being from common stock which were fertile fields for them ,much like peter Framton, ac/dc and such. I don't listen to Kiss music now that I'm far removed from primary school, but the wall actually put me, "off" from Pink Floyd for a while, as I found most of the music one big downer. When the movie came out, we were told that it was cool to watch it high, so my primary mates and I smoked a pile of hash and went to a wide screen theater to view it, and I still found it to be a bit of a buzz kill and too.
I had to have a wiser soul in high school feed me some fungus products and blotter paper, lie down in a darkened room, and listen to all of the "other" albums, WHAT I HAD BEEN MISSING!!!! but I didn't, and still don't much care for the wall.Its ok for those that do, just too dismal for me.

I've come to realize that Pink Floyd often provokes such affinities because Waters' songwriting offers a window into the unconscious that meshes well with the effects of psychedelic substances.

I always thought it was Gilmour's soulful tunes and Wright's melodic keyboard playing that offer a very mellow existence to the person listening.

I always thought it was the kickass record covers.

Perhaps it's the laaaaasers!
