Pink Floyds Fractured Final Masterpiece

The Wall was the last album Pink Floyd ever recorded with its full classic lineup. Despite its status as a legendary rock opera, critics initially dismissed the record as an overblown and pretentious mess.

This ambitious double album tells the dark, psychological story of a rock star who gradually isolates himself from society behind a metaphorical wall. Tension within the band grew so intense during production that keyboardist Richard Wright was actually fired by Roger Waters before the project was even finished. It is ironic that such a fractured creative process resulted in one of the most celebrated and best-selling albums in music history.
