An ambitious rock opera about isolation and breakdown, theatrical and bleak, with 'Comfortably Numb' as its emotional peak. It works as narrative and as a run of strong individual songs. Best taken in one sitting. A 1979 record that fills in the story between the landmarks.
On vinyl: Both originals and reissues can sound excellent — the mastering matters more than the era.
