You cannot downplay the importance and sheer brilliance of Pink Floyd’s masterpiece “The Wall”. “Back Against The Wall” is a phenomenal tribute that I think the creators of the original recording will find most pleasing.
When you assemble some of the most recognizable names in classic and progressive rock, Featuring some of the more important artists in the history of recorded music, how could it possibly not be a great recording and make an impact? Just look at the credits, . Ian Anderson, Tony Levin, Steve Howe, Tommy Shaw, Ronnie Montrose, Rick Wakeman, Every contributor to this project has earned a multitude of respect over the years.
This is the closest thing to the real deal as you can get. The vocals are similar to how Roger Waters and David Gilmour sounded in their prime, and the musicianship is most notable. Every song kicks some ass, . It is difficult to put it any other way actually. In a sense, “The Wall” paralleled the “Dark Side Of The Moon” in it’s success (years on the charts) and originality. I know Roger Waters was given most of the credit for this album, but let us not forget that collectively Pink Floyd was a band and they are the ones that went to the studio every day to record this, even if it was one person’s brainchild, it took a group of people to make an album such as this.
After a few songs, it makes you feel like you are listening to the original recording all over again. I would think that is whole idea behind this, it is a tribute to Pink Floyd. Each musician has their time to show their appreciation in each song to a band that helped shape their own music. It is obvious that a lot of heart and soul went into this and the sound is clear, full, and powerful-everything that Pink Floyd was when they produced an album.
