The Wall
Rating: 2
How do I hate this album? Let me count the ways.
I hate it to the depth of its self-pity and breadth of its misanthropy and height of its pretension.
It sucks my soul, it depletes my attention
With its bleating ignorance of musical grace.
I hate it to the crepuscular ways
It gasps with need, unwarmed by any sun’s light.
I hate it freely, it plagues my sight.
I hate it purely, it resists all praise.
I hate it with the passion put to use
In Roger Waters’ old griefs, abusing my childhood's faith.
I hate it with the bile that runs so loose
In its unfocused track. I hate it with the croaking breath,
Gloppy solos, dragging tempos; and, if God choose,
I shall but hate it more after I go deaf.
But "Another Brick in the Wall" sure is catchy.

Ever write and record a song, Steve? (I'm not asking Abe because as evidenced by his replies, he's obviously
retarded). If so, please post it on your site, as I'm sure Pink Floyd, The Who, Alice Cooper, XTC and all the other
artists you attack could use the inspiration!
So you think Roger Waters is hopelessly cynical? Well, guess what, asshole: He creates, you criticize!
Who's the real cynic?
Bewaugh!
