This great!! Learned a lot that I didn't know. Thanks for posting.

I've always paid attention to that, I think it's really cool what he can do with his voice

Interesting take. Personally love the album. But my favourite would be who’s next. With the outstanding quadrophenia a close second. Good video.

I always thought Tommy was pretentious crap. And always thought that Elton John’s glam rock version of Pinball Wizard rocks harder and is better than the plodding acoustical original.

Laugh in free four that kinda sounds like a pekka?

Bro likes The Final Cut and not Tommy

I agree that it's their best album, and the last decent thing they recorded....bar a couple of songs from the Who Are You album 👍

By far the best who album

To start- I am a huge Who fan. That said, Townsend's writing was always unconventional. You even use the example of "A Quick One." You reference the 1921 lyrics but fail to understand the story. Tommy witnesses Bernie and his mother killing Captain Walker - your narration insists that Captain Walker kills the man? It is following this that Bernie and his mother insist that Tommy "didn't see it, didn't hear it"as the basis for the trauma. Effectively this is the verify thing Tommy will not do. He is now functionally blind, deaf, and dumb. Overture and Sparks is the inward journey. The film, that you show, deliberately uses military imagery and theme to reinforce the constant nature of the trauma. The ongoing exposition illustrates the sustained impersonal selfish disinterest and perverted guilt of Bernie and Mom associated with their actions. Tommy is a matter of interest only by association. Mom expresses concern, but at the same time, disinterest for Tommy and repeatedly leaving Tommy to the whims of others- a Charlatan, a Sadist, and a molester while she eats bonbons and drinks alcohol. Bernie, the father substitute, does nothing to protect the boy. Ernie, likely Bernie's brother, is shown later, as still an offending molester, but, an active member of the family, as too often was the case. In fact, Bernie explicitly only shows interest when he realizes that Tommy's exceptional pinball skills, or the recovery cult, can be profitable to him. I will ignore that your critique of Townsend's artistic use of an Underture, but suffice to say that you talk more about Quadraphenia than Tommy. You also reference Tommy having three abusers but ignore it may actually be a reference to the recurring use of three in the Jesus narrative (three serves as a powerful symbol of completeness, emphasis, and spiritual significance (resurrection after three days, Peter's three denials and threefold affirmation, Jesus' three predictions). Ultimately, Tommy does exploit resurrection themes but if that doesn't float your boat the number three is a potent symbol in various mystical and spiritual traditions, often representing completeness, balance, and the interconnection of different elements or concepts across diverse cultures suggesting a universal significance and profound resonance in the human experience. But who's counting? K- Underture- is used to describe an instrumental piece that occurs within the work that serves to develop and elaborate on the musical themes, offering both a musical and a narrative interlude. It is a narrative pause to reflect on the story. It is still 4 kick ass musicians but... Ok, what is your point? I wasn't a fan of Face Dances. Also, I thank God Townsend didn't expound upon the themes, you would be critiquing the equivalent of the Ring Cycle by Wagner. Ultimately, when you get back on topic, you also mistake Tommy's fascination with the mirror, as a treatment. No!!!!!!!! It is his only object of interest. Mom seeking out the doctor is still punctuated by her tryst with the Doctor. It is about her. Not him. She explicitly sings ""What does he see in the mirror". This leads to "Tommy can you see me" and "Smash the mirror" is another context of neglect, disinterest and ultimately guilt fueled anger well illustrated in the film. Smash the mirror is all about her. Now, I do not think Townsend is a critical psychological theorist, but this event liberates Tommy from his isolation. If you want to critique that premise, I would say look at all the shitty plot devices used in Opera, pulp fiction, modern crap sitcoms as a baseline and suck it up and remember it is about the music- it is a rock opera not "'The Brothers Karamazov." You offered gems that I am going to skip, but look dude, opera is a story with devices to move the story forward. I suspect that amidst the libraries of Opera's most of them are not memorable. In summary, you don't like the album that is ok, but, your critique seems to be suggesting Townsend should have "made it better". WTF?

My least favorite tracks are probably Fiddle About and Cousin Kevin not only for the subject matter but the songs are goofier. I love the whole album though Christmas and Underure included That track was always very relaxing My faves are I’m Free and Pinball Wizard My take on the movie is a bit different with the songs

D.I.D. Dissociative Identity Disorder. That said, Quadrophenia - the album - is a masterpiece.

Best of the best!

This is an amazing video. Even though TFC is low in my Floyd rankings I still think it’s a solid record. This is some of Roger’s best songwriting by far with the whole idea of turning leftover songs from The Wall into an anti-war concept album is brilliant to me. David and Nick are great as always (some underrated Gilmour solos on here) and some of my fav Floyd songs are on here like The Post War Dream, Your Possible Pasts, & The Gunner’s Dream. I think my issue with the record (and a lot of people I see share the same sentiments) is that the album starts to get a bit underwhelming sonically. I do agree the album needed to be slow for its concept, but after a while it starts to get a bit repetitive with some songs starting to blend in with each other not really being 100% engaging for me. Roger’s vocals are a mixed bag for me here as some songs he sounds amazing like the intro but songs like the title track it sounds like he’s trying too hard barely reaching the notes. Even though Michael Kamen did a great job on the piano, orchestra, and production, I do miss and feel the absence of Richard on keyboards. There’s really only one song I dislike on here and it’s Not Now John. Yeah lyrically it’s great with the critique of Japan and America after the war, it’s just sonically it always came off so corny to me sounding like great value version of Young Lust, I’ve never liked that shit. Besides that, every song on here is solid to even amazing. Me personally I prefer the Gilmour era stuff over this but still it’s a pretty good record especially with what was going on with the band at the time. I think Roger did a great job for what he could do and for the most part it works. It’s nowhere near as bad as some people say it is but at the same time I kinda get why it’s not for everyone (especially coming out after an album like the fucking Wall). I just wish it was a bit more consistent and engaging for me. Again great video!

I loove corporal clegg

The single best anti-war album I have ever heard. Hugh Floyd fan. One if the best. Too bad the band was so disheveled at the time as it might have been even better. Gilmore's solos are powerful. Fletcher Memorial Home should actually be created and send the war mongers there!

Great Album! I got it when it was originally released. I saw the film Pink Floyd The Wall in the film cinema. the final cut is one of my favorite old records

FIND YOURSELF A DECENT TURNTANLE GO OUT AND PURCHASE AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS RECORD darken the room LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN CLOSE YOUR EYES I just feel one might judge this record differently if trying to listen to it early morning or cruising around in your car All classic rock albums sound much better listening to them in analog form l I'm sure there are decent copies of this record for listening on headphones etc But the best way is in its original vinyl pressing form

Radio waves is one of my favourite songs not even kidding

Insane how little known and recognized by the music community this is

wrong it SUCKS

I was literally looking for this but kept typing baby instead of babe, because I haven't read the lyrics until now... Thanks for the mashup!

The album is SOOO much better than the recordings for the 1975 film. I finally saw the film and was severely underwhelmed.

I don't think Nostalgia Critic "misinterpreted" the wall---I feel his version says more about him and his interpretation of it, than it speaks to the consensus interpretations and other individual vantage points on it. In other words, the scene where Doug makes swimming, t-pose motions, yelling, "I'm jesus", is like him mocking others that has more notoriety than him, while expressing the recognition he feels he deserves and/or wants.

The short time I was into the nostalgia critic, I would typically skip the skits.

Roger said he recently he doesn't do this scream anymore because it's bad for the vocal chords.

I’m surprised that you have a grasp of the whole concept given that you skip so much.

The Tommy Soundtrack version of "The Hawker" is super awesome, Eric Clapton really made the song drive

You are using the narrative of the 75 film which is different from the original album. Does Caption Walker die in the song, 1921? Cheers

By far and away the coolest and most memorable experience I have EVER had with a product used to promote music. It’s just so cool. I’d like to see them do this for some of their other albums too. I love this band so much.

My theory is one day bull(satan) emerged and fought god he then won and enslaved everyone (the rock people) and among the enslaved people there is a man who started a cult offering freedom but also works with bull and tricks these people. The cat people represent humans with their motto being sex. Work . Death

I don't know how you can listen to Gilmour's solos on this LP and ignore it

I honestly never ever understood why it's considered a very weak album. Like, dude, "The Post War Dream", "Your Possible Pasts", "Thr Fletcher Memorial Home", "The Gunner's Dream", "The Final Cut", "Two Suns In The Sunset" - these are FANTASTIC songs. "The Final Cut" is definitely one of the most beautiful pieces they ever released, the freaking solo in this one... JESUS. I definitely can see how you could think there's too much lyrical filler, but even then, I have no clue why people miss the songs mentioned above, this is golden man. And even if the album isn't perfect, it's still very ambitious and born from a place of love and bitter sadness

So very good ooh baby 👶

I adored this album as a teenager in the mid 90's but sadly I've moved away from it, for me Roger's solipsism was a little to prevalent here, not just in his music but in his relationships with his band mates. I'd also go so far as to say The Fletcher Memorial home was an embarrassing evocation of his fathers memory and legacy, unlike When The Tigers Broke Free, which was dignified and Powerful. However, I very much enjoyed your appraisal. My favourite song in this collection of Wall rejects is probably The Gunners Dream.

I think the real problem here is that DSOTM is a perfect album. I have a very specific definition of a perfect album. It is an album where every single song is good, and you'd never even consider skipping one of them. There's a lot of legendary albums that are fantastic but don't meet this criteria. The Wall is great, but it doesn't meet this criteria because there are a few I skip on it. DSOTM has this quality but the Redux doesn't -- the problem with a perfect album is that there's pretty much nowhere to go but downhill, if you try and change it. It's hard for me to say any song on redux is better than the original, while there's a few I can definitely say are worse. I encourage everyone to think about what albums you consider "perfect" in this sense. It's a different question than looking for a "great" album. As you pointed out with "Tommy", something can be great but also be imperfect. Pink Floyd had more perfect albums than most bands I know. I think it's interesting that his motive was that the original message "didn't sink in". But if he expected an album he wrote to change the entire world, man, most bands from the 60s and 70s with messages would just destroy themselves trying to use this criteria. Imagine John Lennon being alive right now and evaluating himself on whether his music and preaching stopped all war and destruction in the world. He'd be suicidal. I don't think the message "didn't sink in" with any of the people who loved the album. It sunk in just fine. Unfortunately the hippies who absorbed the album's message were always just a minority even though it's so popular.

17:24 TBH this scene was pretty funny to me😅

Nostalgia Critics watched a burger but reviewed it as a pizza.

This video really blew up for some reason. I think it's outdated and doesn't live up to my standards now. Would anybody be interested in a follow up that would go much deeper into this (including other adaptations)?

The early Mods, and even the mid 60's Mods, were mainly into American Soul Music and RnB. Mods were all about dressing up and dancing. I think The Rockers were an extension or a branch off The 50's Teddyboys. The "Teds" as they were known loved Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Rockabilly. They had a very distinctive dress sense that included Brothel Creepers, Drainpipe Pants and Edwardian Coats. Both John Lennon and Paul McCartney considered themselves "Teddyboys" in the 50's.
