Wish You Were, Animals, and Meddle were all much more consistent and brilliant... And all had a hell of a lot more Rick.

I don't like The Wall as much as those albums (except I'd take it over Animals) but I still love it, Wright does have a reduced role but he still makes his contributions, especially to the better songs on the album.
The Wall has a pretty universial theme to it, alienation, misanthropy. I can certainly relate to that. Musically I have every note and lyric fully memorizied, I've listened to it so many times.
I enjoyed the movie too, visually it fits with the music perfectly.
