The Wall is Pink Floyd's eleventh studio album, released in late 1979 through Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It marked the final album featuring all four band members from the post-Barrett period. The record achieved significant commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks and reaching number three in the UK. While initial critical reception was mixed, with some reviewers dismissing it as excessive and self-important, the album subsequently gained recognition as one of the most important rock albums ever made.

The album follows a character named "Pink," a disillusioned rock musician, as he builds a metaphorical psychological wall that represents his withdrawal from social connection.
