To clarify does this just involve sending an album you like that you think someone else might appreciate. Are we looking at something more niche, as I guess we don't know what other people have heard and what they haven't?

Just anything you want to share with your swapping partner. It's best to ask them over PM if they've got the album you have in mind, what kind of music they want to hear from you and so on.

Sending my album...and cleared a tiny bit of PM space

Antonio · 10-17-2009, 06:22 PM

I'm still waiting on BTown's review of the album i sent him

BTown · 10-17-2009, 07:26 PM

Forgive me Antonio, I have not been very active lately and i tried to add onto my analysis everyday and I finally had a lot of free time to finish up.

Antonio sent me The Wall by Pink Floyd

Like nothing I had ever listened to before. I had never listened to any Pink Floyd previously and I really never planned to before this, I’ve just never been into stuff like this before. I don’t know how to describe The Wall, It’s very spacey and imaginative. When I first started off with listening to “In The Flesh” I didn’t know what to think of it, I knew I liked it (and also knew that Pink Floyd would probably turn out to be a band that I would have to be in the modd to listen to) like I said before I had never ben exposed to this kind of stuff, and I still don’t really know how to explain what Pink Floyd was trying to do with this album.

After reading into the lyrics a bit more I came to the conclusion the album is about a boy’s life, his story starts with “The Thin Ice” with his birth. Gradually this boy becomes an outcast to society, everyday making a bigger wall to separate himself from society and conformity making him isolated. Some events that prompted this were his father who went off to war, his abusive teachers, and his overprotective mother. I am at a loss as to where or how the album ends or what happens to this boy. Maybe there follow up album would continue the story? I’m not sure.
I never thought of Pink Floyd being a band like this. Do I regret not listening to these guys earlier? No. Why? If I tried listening to this album 3 months ago I would have immediately dismissed it due to my closed mindedness and would have never been able to appreciate it.
7/10

I can't think of a worse Floyd album to send you especially as it was your first listen

Do not judge them by this album alone please.

eh, i thought it was a good choice, seeing as a number of their well known hits (Comfortably Numb, Mother, Run Like Hell, etc.) are on it and someone who was say a casual listener to them on the radio would be able to recognize some of it.
