For me, the worst part of the video isn't the bad parody songs or the stupid commentary, but the actual quality of the video itself. What's the actual appeal of people in bad costumes they got from Party City pretend-walking in front of greenscreens, while stock photos and out of place royalty-free CG animations are superimposed behind them? It's so weird seeing a guy, now in his 40's, who has been basically doing this stuff as a career for over a decade, still have the same filmmaking skills and ambitions as a highschool freshman shooting a video for a class. As much as we like to make fun of Bimmy, at least the videos he made pre-Screenwave showed actual technical talent, and there's so many other youtubers like JonTron and RLM who know how to shoot compelling-looking video. Whereas with Doug Walker, it's like his technical skill hasn't improved one iota since 2009.
Yeah it was acceptable in the early days, seems like everyone was cringe back in like 2010, because nobody was professional but it really is wild to see Doug not evolve whatsoever.
yeah i definitely agree.. it doesn't even look like a professional camera was used, and honestly if you're gonna use shitty green screen, use it the whole time.. they literally are switching between shitty green screen, doug's (or someone's) actual office, some shitty stock photos you could bring up on google.. Folding Ideas had a good point when he said that, despite this video looking so low quality, a lot of time and thought still went into it because you had to book flights for corey taylor and his kid, you had to commission Fennah and Rob Scallon to make the CGI and music respectively and yet it still looks like something i could reproduce in a week. The whole thing is baffling
Last year I started watching Nostalgia Critic again, just looking for something new to watch. And you're right! The only improvement from the old videos to the new videos is probably their camera. Which probably cost the same as the original camera they shot with, just newer.
That NC episode truly damaged his channel. Since then his takes on films have been very safe and in the middle of the fence and his audience isn't what it used to be.
I'd argue that his protection of a predator and the terrible treatment of his colleagues, which made 99% of the creators leave his channel, drove away quite a bit of his audience before this Wall-fiasco.
The one good thing about The Wall review was that it completely killed the Clip less NC reviews. Nobody liked them to begin with, yet somehow they raked in millions of views. The Wall review was so hated that Doug hasn’t made a clip less NC review.
And yet, still got a huge following. Face facts. you kids today only hate NC because you discovered the detractors of NC and wanted that clout for RUclips likes. Just goes to show the internet is all going after the popular opinion even if it's a lie.
Ahhh yes a The Final Cut truther. I firmly believe if the boys weren't fighting that it would be considered an all time Floyd album. There is a lot of good stuff in there. And I also love Not Now John. Without a doubt the most underrated Gilmour guitar solo. Great vocals on that was too.
i tried really hard to enjoy this album, but i agree "not now john" is a banger. made me wish the whole album went forward on that groove. i can't even remember the rest of the songs. just cardboard to my ears. glad you enjoyed it so much. wish i could.
If Doug Walker was some random chick from the hood Fantano would be like “ackshually there’s metalayers of clever commentary on capitalism and western society”
Thanks for taking the time to talk about Rob's work too. I picked up on that lazy homestudio vibe. All the notes were there but in the wrong way. And if one is to emulate Gilmour, it is not as much the notes, as it is his sound. From the intention to the fingers on the guitar through the pickups, amp, effects, mic & production. That's what makes his contribution to Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd. So I was offended with his 'work' it felt like a quick timecrunch and no one to critique it during the process to help improve. As if he recorded it from memory, not after extensive analysis of the original. Doug has the same problem. Only yes-men because he is one of the first e-celebs. He did a Phantom of the Opera review somewhere down the line. Got actual singers on board. Still needed to do most of the singing himself and completely butchered everything. I mean; comedians sing too, and butcher stuff for a laugh from the audience. But Doug is realllly trying to do his best, seriously caring. But no one says: No dude. You need singing lessons before you'll be able to do a performance like this. Same with the lyrics. Not one person on production making a "love-letter to Pink Floyd's the Wall" (his words, not mine) said: eh Doug? These lyrics miss the mark of it being a love-letter. And it is not satire, so they miss the mark of The Nostalgia Critic too. Yes-men & Yes-women.
I can totally hear my lack of professionalism with my songs in Logic Pro. It does provide tons of power, but there's a lot of research required to get anything to sound authentic.
It's off topic, but I have to admit I feel like an idiot because I finally heard Stairway to Heaven all the way through for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say, it's a fucking masterpiece...I can see why it's highly spoken of as one of the greatest songs ever
Just wanted to point out that “when the tigers broke free” wasn’t on the Final Cut originally. It was a standalone single. They put it on the 2004 reissue and all subsequent releases after.
The single was titled The Wall(Music From The Film), and it had When The Tigers Broke Free on the A-side, while the B-side had a remix of Bring The Boys Back Home. Many of the songs on the album were re-recorded or remixed for the film, and they were preparing those remixes/rerecordings for a soundtrack album to the film, but eventually Roger Waters decided to cancel the soundtrack and instead release a new album (The Final Cut) in the wake of the Falklands War. Even more interesting is the fact that the back cover of the single had the following text: "Taken from the album The Final Cut". So I presume that The Final Cut title was supposed to be the soundtrack to the film.
My promo copy does say "from the forthcoming album", though the foldout sleeve made it seem like The Final Cut was a soundtrack for the film. Annnnddd... the regular pressings just said "from the film" when it failed to show up on the initial release of TFC.
@@ChristyAbbey From what I've seen on discogs(don't have a copy of the single myself) every regional version of the single had The Final Cut text on it. Also I forgot to mention, this single was released a full year before the actual The Final Cut album was released
@@mirceadobarta9533 I got the single as a promo copy from the station where I worked, pre-release. The rest came from others showing me their copies. The single itself was in circulation until the vinyl bust of the late 80s.
I think there is a hidden joke to "The Wall" review that we all aren't getting and that it is supposed to be bad. The Nostalgia Critic is giving his pretentious interpretation to the movie.
It's definitely a fact that The Final Cut is very divisive and also hit-or-miss. Some will even argue that it's not a true Pink Floyd album but rather a Roger Water solo album - but nonetheless, "Not Now John" is definitely a banger and one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. The band could definitely do hard rock when they wanted to, and Gilmour was a great and versatile vocalist.
i think waters and gilmour had great vocal trade-offs in this song.. it almost felt like they were working together as a team and not two people that could barely be in the same room with each other
The problem with this review is that it was in the form of a musical. What the kids don't know because they don't have much knowledge of NC in general, is that NC got flack for another review because it wasn't a traditional NC review but a musical which was HOCUS POCUS. NC couldn't convey his opinion because he was more focus on trying to make a funny musical that ended up being very cringy.
The Final Cut is 40 minutes of Roger crying about his Dead Dad and the only worthwhile songs on that album are When the Tigers Broke Free, The Final Cut and Not Now John.
When the tigers broke free is not a final cut song. Was added later, and is one of the worst. There are a lot of songs very good apart of the final cut (10) and not now john (9.5). The fletcher memorial home(9.5), the gunner's dream (9.5)paranoid eyes (9.5)your possible past (9.5)two suns in the sunset (9.25)southampton dock(9).
I still am baffled how Corey Taylor from Slipknot was in Doug's The Wall review...how..? Especially since Corey seems like the kind of guy that if he watched this review and had 0 involvement, he would've hated the video. What does Corey Taylor think of Doug Walker's The Wall review?
I will begin by stating, I adore Floyd's prog sound. Echos and Animals were staple sounds when tripping. I believe the longer tracks work fantastically well. I adore Meddle, Animals, parts of DSOTM, parts of Division Bell, and Atom Heart Mother. Why I'm stating this is to set the stage for what I believe will sound disappointing to most fans. For Dark Side of the Moon, I believe the album is a 6-8. If we're speaking of the concept album and how tracks bleed into each other then it's an 8. The problem with this is you need to sit and absorb in one listen. Sure you may do that on first listen but if you don't have the time you'd just throw the songs in a larger playlist or listen to them individually. Individually listening is where the problem comes in for me. Also, when you have an album that has "motifs" and pieces that bleed into each other, it may prove more difficult to divide up after the fact. A prime example is the clock on Time. It makes an otherwise killer track troubled on multiple relisten aloud. I believe one way they could've fixed or avoided this is to cut the tracks up more properly or add more to the beginning of the song if you really must have that stupid alarm clock. As a side tangent for where most of this comes from, I remember working in fast food. We sometimes would bring portable speakers in and play music. Around this time I was about 21 and listened to quite a variety of music, so I picked up on most shit in general that was played. This older guy would play his boomer-bar-rock like Steve Miller Band (The Joker.....yeesh) and other popular tracks from a generic rock station playing the 60s into 90s. A lot of the young people are not musically verbose, even guys in their 30s would call some of the music I would listen to "Buffalo Bill music". What this translated to was general naivety when it came to what was out there. Now, one of the tracks the guy would play is Time by Pink Floyd. A song I already knew pretty well from years of listening prior, so I anticipated how he'd deal with the alarm. Let's say the prior song ends at a decently loud volume. When Time began, I watched him intentionally lower the volume on his speaker when the alarm was about to come up and then gradually raise it to a safer volume. I then pondered the impracticality of Pink Floyd tracks because of the artistic intentions of their sound. Whether or not they're listenable in a public setting (portable speaker, sound system, whatever) I found that there were a couple of tracks I would never want to play because of reaction, but would play them anyway because I didn't care (remember I'm the Buffalo Bill guy). Pink Floyd's Time is a well-renowned track on its own, people know it and if they don't, that's their loss. This section was to attempt to reinforce the addressing of how they chop up tracks within DSOTM or The Wall... now onto the Wall. For the Wall, Id give this album like a 4-6. Concept definitely would carry it but the tracks...my god. I've put off listening to it for many years. I knew of Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall 2 but that was it. The Trial I found when skipping around but I never looked any further at the rest of the album. This was about when I was 20, I am now 25. I attempted the album when I was 20 but became disinterested around halfway through the 1st half. On revisit of the first half (The Wall), If you can manage to stay awake during a lot of these tracks you'd surprise me. This subpar snoozefest is carried HEAVILY by the driving groove of Another Brick in the Wall, which is probably why there are two of them. Sure these tracks kept me awake much better than some crammed-in alarm clock but it still couldn't save it. This also sets in motion the repeating motif that drowns the album later on, completely slathered in constant callbacks to earlier tunes. There's also my general confusion over "Another Brick in the Wall". Is it addressing the fact that the character shelters himself from the outside world by building this mental wall brick by brick? Is it addressing themes of uniformity and following a suit, that in reality, you're nothing more than a punch-in punch-out number? Maybe the album does work better as a film because you'll be able to visualize which idea Pink Floyd (Roger) was attempting to depict here. The rest of the tracks just sound unfinished in the first half. The lack of the It factor is thrown to the wayside for the cohesion of the concept album rather than being genuinely good pieces. The previously mentioned factor is what is the make or break for me. Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces, One of My Turns, Don't Leave Now...where is the catchy refrain? Where is the killer guitar solo? It just sounds like a movie soundtrack ( I haven't seen the film) because of how atmospheric and boring these songs are. I believe people listen to the Mother track because it then ties their experience listening to the entire album. I don't believe it's a good track. In the 2nd half of the album, there are more meandering "tracks" There are a few good pieces like Comfortably Numb and The Trial. I believe the tracks here are generally better because they crescendo the entire album's message and energy. I was still left disappointed and disinterested by the end of it all. In all the conversations I've had about people with Pink Floyd. There's never a conversation about the Wall other than Comfortably Numb and The Trial. Sure a true die-hard Pink Floyd fan would stand by the intricate playings of one track or the sparse piano of another reflecting some form of emotion for the greater narrative but I believe the album just lacks color and not in the good way that album cover might portray. I believe the sparseness of the tracks at points can be great but lacks the color of prominent, passionate emotion. It's as if it's Roger Waters putting on a voice and doing impersonations in a barren soundtrack with the occasional guitar solo. In short, DSOTM and Wall are heavily overrated due to the sheer mentality of most musically inclined listeners of recent years. They're parroting what was put onto them via video essays, their parents, or the fact that this has become the alternative to what the youth and the youth before them have listened to. The video essays by those channels like polyphonic where all they do is review the same 10 Pink Floyd songs or 3 albums repeatedly for the same content drip. Don't even get me started lol. I believe A keen perception and removal of the nostalgia glasses from several decades ago would prove that The Wall is an alright concept album that when dismantled is nothing more than a pile of mediocre sub-par bricks. Apologies if anything I wrote is as meandering as The Wall... lol
I loved Doug Walker's The Wall because of all the interesting and funny criticism videos it has spawned, yours included! 😂❤ Pink Floyd's The Wall Forever!
One thing I hate about modern music is they brick everything where it all sounds distorted. I remember The Great Southern Trendkill would give me ear fatigue where it was hard to listen to. And years later I found out the reason for that was because they bricked that album and it sounds distorted. I think rock/metal sounded the best back when it was all analogue, i.e. 70's and 80's.
@@frankf684 It's not about sludgy, but how it was mastered. If you look at the waveform in Audacity, you will see it's bricked. Which makes it sound distorted and is hard on the ear compared to say the original release of Cowboys From Hell, which doesn't have that problem. Though I believe they remastered Cowboys From Hell and bricked it. So I have to buy the original CD to rip.
ahh yes the good old loudness wars.. you can thank record labels imposing that onto the engineers. Everyone had to compete to be the loudest to capture the listeners attention. I'm sure you already know about all that though. Yeah the NC Wall album was pretty heavily compressed.. even the quiet parts had a large waveform compared to the original PF
I love Animals, Wish You Were Here and DSOTM, but Syd Barrett Floyd is best Floyd. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is leagues better than the Wall. And When the Tigers Broke Free is probably the best song on the Wall, and sadly it’s not even on the Wall. And isn’t Rob Scallon married to the Doug’s Lindsay Ellis replacement Tamara Chambers?
The only good thing I can say about Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is, thanks to Colleen Ballinger's now infamous ukulele non-apology video, Walker's video is no longer the worst RUclips video of all time.
That's so dumb to go after one of the best albums of all-time. Did he also make videos about how The Beatles weren't popular, and how Jimi Hendrix couldn't play guitar?
@@frankf684 i would disagree only because how early in time they made the type of music they did. Sgt Peppers came out in 1967 and was way ahead of it's time. Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show inspired countless famous rock acts today. If they wrote those same songs today it would be ignored because it's not rap or R&B
@@DancingwithGhosts Ah, sorry. My post was sarcastic. Since he had such a bad opinion of The Wall, I was trying to make a joke saying that he must also think The Beatles weren't popular or that Jimi Hendrix couldn't play guitar (things that are wildly untrue). Does that make sense now?
I don't believe, that Doug Walker really like original "The Wall" album. When I saw his review on it - it looks like he hate this album. Or he's just don't understand what is this music about...
Final Cut is phenomenal! The Gunner’s Dream, Paranoid Eyes, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Not Now John…. My only complaint is the lack of Gilmour’s guitar work. There are a few good solos, but not enough.
I haven't watched Doug's review, but although I don't think the film The Wall is particularly successful as a representation of the album's story and themes, it's certainly not a bad film. It's kind of like a very long music video. A bit like Evita, with Madonna... However, the concept of the wall, what with all of us constructing our own, personal walls around ourselves with bricks made up of traumatic experiences and memories good and bad, in order to protect ourselves from the world we live in......I think that's just about the most perfectly simple and brilliant metaphor ever conjured up, and because of that, The Wall, in all of its carnations, gets a free pass. Now, you can argue about the particular bricks that make up the wall of the main character, Pink, if you want to. I've always felt that he's a bit of a whiny cunt and there's very little justification for the things he does as an adult, and blames on his upbringing. But the point is that all our walls are personal to US. It doesn't matter how others feel about them; our walls may seem small or unfathomably tall to us, since we're trapped within them. And as such, I do think Pink's wall is justifiable in terms of it reflecting his very own mental issues. And the same can be said for Roger Waters. Some people may not agree with his opinions on a lot of things, but at the end of the day, those opinions of his are shaped by the bricks in HIS wall. And we, the audience, can only judge them by the bricks that surround ourselves. So regardless of whether we like The Wall or not, it's our bricks that do the talking for us. Is Doug's wall more important than Roger Waters' wall, or your wall, or mine? To HIM it is. But I'm not sure he's aware it exists...
I love that you use fl studio for recording rock music. I get picked on for it too but ive never had a reason to switch despite rarely using midi or loops anymore
It's so weird to me that people still get this butthurt over this review. We get it, you didn't like his review of the movie. Ok? At this point it honestly just comes off as deeply pathetic to be making a video about it now. It was years ago, let it go.
Rob Scallon was involved in that because he's been for years involved with Tamara Chambers. It wasn't the first time he collaborated in a Nostalgia Critic's video.
the fact they got Corey Taylor in this video, but just completely wasted his talents is the worst crime this album commits. Corey Taylor is one of my favorite vocalists, I think his screams are monstrous and his clean singing is beautiful, and he can do comedy, so I don't know why they made Doug sing all but two tracks, and Corey Taylor only gets one, and it's the fucking Spongebob theme song. which like, he's sang the Spongebob theme song at his acoustic shows when he was promoting his books, so if you wanted to hear Corey Taylor singing the Spongebob theme song, you could just watch his live shows, rather than sitting through this bullshit. and maybe it was on purpose, like a troll, because Corey Taylor is in the thumbnail, and he's a well known and well loved vocalist, so you expect to hear his solid vocals, but nope, it's just Doug wailing and seemingly mocking Roger Waters, ha ha, very funny... even though it's not. I mean, the lyrics are still hot ass, but they'd at least be more bearable if Corey sang them.
if his parody was creative, clever, or even funny i would have no problem with doug taking the piss on the wall. dude should have done a few oopen miic stand ups or took a song writing woorkshoop before taking on such a tall order
Seems like Rob Scallon didn't put too much effort on that shit, seems like the method i do, find a tab or midi, import to daw, insert instrumentt, copy and paste, export. lol
Doug Walker really thought this would be a banger. The second hand embarrassment is almost immeasurable. "DarksydePhil May 1st Incident"-level embarrassing
With the NC videos, I still watch them today I get enjoyment out it. I turn ny brain off. But I legit like the "First Time Watch With Doug & Rob", and Doug's thoughts of movies outside of the NC character. But this review cannot be forgiven.
I didn´t see the movie, but the Album was great. My only complain, too long, some songs felt like "fillers". Animals, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you Were Here were better. Roger Waters was taking over the band by then, so yes, a little bit selfindulgent in some songs. But Comfortably Numb is a master piece of a song, also Another Brick on the Wall.
I like Doug's earlier stuff, but the stuff he's relased so far since November has been meh...too much forgettable animated and Disney stuff. I guess with this video, he thought it would be funny and clever to be the RUclips version of Weird Al Yankovic, but without the talent and comedic ability and timing
The Final Cut is better than “The Wall”. However “When The Tigers Broke Free” was only added to 2004 version of the album (and every version after). Just letting you know it wasn’t on original album
@@DancingwithGhosts Honestly I have no idea how I wasn’t recommended any of his videos by the all knowing algorithm; I’m chronically online and seem to watch a lot of similar content.
In the end it accomplished two positive things: 1) It did get others analyzing The Wall when it had kind of dropped from the zeitgeist (Dan Olsen and Matt Ammar especially with fantastic videos), and 2) it lost Doug any remaining clout he had.
Folding Ideas is a anti-gamer gate guy that uploaded CP to 8chan to get back at that website for exposing gamer gate. You talk about clout but here you are trying to grift for some.
Not an aweful take, you just don't like it. How it is a failure if people enjoyed it? This video is just you saying that you are butt hurt that someone did a video on something you like,
As for the album and music video I did not think it was funny. I used to watch Doug all the time until about the third anniversary special. But I heard about how bad the video was so decided to check it out. Cringe is so overused these days but I cringed at almost every second of it. I ended up skipping to the end and couldn't make it more than 10 seconds into that SpongeBob theme.
I'll never understand how anyone is trying to redeem Dog Walker after this and his other numerous f-ups connected to change the channel. From Doug sending out his army of "debunkers" to make it go away (and the sheep that believed it, because the internet is largely the domain of gullible idiots, of course), and then this video, I don't understand how anyone can stand him anymore. Even Bamesy truthers are somehow finding Doug worth appreciating nowadays, though I think it's only out of desperation and boredom, since Bimbim can't get his act together and is only getting worse. Thanks for keeping this in our memories, this tresspass should really NEVER be forgotten, or forgiven!
That review NC did of the wall was the exact moment I said "Screw you Doug, you're dead to me!" and it was also the final straw after the whole "Change The Channel" controversies that came out.
I stopped watching after NC reviewed Event Horizon. Not a perfect movie but the flaws he was pointing were just dumb. The skits sucked too. Couldn't even finish the episode. Never went back.
I'm not gonna "defend" The Wall review, because, on a fundamental level, it is a really bad video. I think a trap a LOT of RUclipsrs fall into when making a parody video like this is they consume the media through a lens of just looking for stuff to make fun of. Which for something like CinemaSins, say what you will about them, viewing through that filter is okay. For a review, though, ya kinda need more nuance than that.
i think he despises the fact that he made it big off critiquing movies instead of making his own movies so he shoe-horns his wannabe film making into his 'reviews'
@@DancingwithGhosts I never watched him enough to form an opinion on that, his content never clicked with me. It seems a bunch of theater kids, cosplaying / improv skits about Hollywood movies… it’s mostly just incoherent, to me. lol
Good God, the eall is as bloated as the white album but not in a good way. While no one can agree which songs could be cut from the white album, we all know which songs could be cut from the wall. It's one album and a half of good ideas. Less really. And six, count em, six versions of abitw. Hey you, waiting for the worms and the trial ... it's the same riff.
@@DancingwithGhosts Bring the boys back home, Vera, etc etc. And you can't deny the sameness of the riffs I pointed out. You can always listen to the song poor poor pitiful me if you're in a hurry. Sorry, but the wall isn't all that compelling compared to their earlier stuff. It's just not.
Doug Walker mocking Pink Floyd is like Pauly Shore poking fun at George Carlin.

Same with the lyrics. Not one person on production making a "love-letter to Pink Floyd's the Wall" (his words, not mine) said: eh Doug? These lyrics miss the mark of it being a love-letter. And it is not satire, so they miss the mark of The Nostalgia Critic too.
Yes-men & Yes-women.
Josh critiques Nostalgia Critic so we don't have to!
lol damn right
I can totally hear my lack of professionalism with my songs in Logic Pro. It does provide tons of power, but there's a lot of research required to get anything to sound authentic.
It's off topic, but I have to admit I feel like an idiot because I finally heard Stairway to Heaven all the way through for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say, it's a fucking masterpiece...I can see why it's highly spoken of as one of the greatest songs ever
Just wanted to point out that “when the tigers broke free” wasn’t on the Final Cut originally. It was a standalone single. They put it on the 2004 reissue and all subsequent releases after.
really? wow what a bizarre song to make a single
The single was titled The Wall(Music From The Film), and it had When The Tigers Broke Free on the A-side, while the B-side had a remix of Bring The Boys Back Home. Many of the songs on the album were re-recorded or remixed for the film, and they were preparing those remixes/rerecordings for a soundtrack album to the film, but eventually Roger Waters decided to cancel the soundtrack and instead release a new album (The Final Cut) in the wake of the Falklands War. Even more interesting is the fact that the back cover of the single had the following text: "Taken from the album The Final Cut". So I presume that The Final Cut title was supposed to be the soundtrack to the film.
My promo copy does say "from the forthcoming album", though the foldout sleeve made it seem like The Final Cut was a soundtrack for the film. Annnnddd... the regular pressings just said "from the film" when it failed to show up on the initial release of TFC.
@@ChristyAbbey From what I've seen on discogs(don't have a copy of the single myself) every regional version of the single had The Final Cut text on it. Also I forgot to mention, this single was released a full year before the actual The Final Cut album was released
@@mirceadobarta9533 I got the single as a promo copy from the station where I worked, pre-release. The rest came from others showing me their copies. The single itself was in circulation until the vinyl bust of the late 80s.
do you think rex viper can do a cover of "hey you" and the level theme for air man?
This whole “review” felt more like a soft reboot of Demo Reel. Doug just needs to let that failure of a web show die already.
I am happy you give the guy credit where it’s due. When he’s talking about a film he actually knows, he can be very entertaining
yeah for sure, he's not a completely talentless hack, he has his moments that are pretty good but boy did he miss the mark on this review
I think there is a hidden joke to "The Wall" review that we all aren't getting and that it is supposed to be bad. The Nostalgia Critic is giving his pretentious interpretation to the movie.
Doog is the irl soyjack
I mean, it kinda seems like this guy is the angry one in this situation. a dude made a joke album and y'all got so mad
"When the Tigers Broke Free" doesn't appear on The Final Cut (at least not the original vinyl version).
It's more complicated. See my reply to Joseph Dunlap.
his review was so horrible that even when I used to be a hardcore fan of Dougs I always dodged this one and never watched it in full.
yeah.. i kinda dipped out after this one, i just felt like if this is the direction he was going in i was out
It's definitely a fact that The Final Cut is very divisive and also hit-or-miss. Some will even argue that it's not a true Pink Floyd album but rather a Roger Water solo album - but nonetheless, "Not Now John" is definitely a banger and one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. The band could definitely do hard rock when they wanted to, and Gilmour was a great and versatile vocalist.
i think waters and gilmour had great vocal trade-offs in this song.. it almost felt like they were working together as a team and not two people that could barely be in the same room with each other
The problem with this review is that it was in the form of a musical. What the kids don't know because they don't have much knowledge of NC in general, is that NC got flack for another review because it wasn't a traditional NC review but a musical which was HOCUS POCUS. NC couldn't convey his opinion because he was more focus on trying to make a funny musical that ended up being very cringy.
The Final Cut is 40 minutes of Roger crying about his Dead Dad and the only worthwhile songs on that album are When the Tigers Broke Free, The Final Cut and Not Now John.
When the tigers broke free is not a final cut song. Was added later, and is one of the worst. There are a lot of songs very good apart of the final cut (10) and not now john (9.5). The fletcher memorial home(9.5), the gunner's dream (9.5)paranoid eyes (9.5)your possible past (9.5)two suns in the sunset (9.25)southampton dock(9).
"Not Now, John" is my favorite Pink Floyd song❤
I agree with you more than Fantano. Especially in this review. I am indifferent of Doug Walker.
I still am baffled how Corey Taylor from Slipknot was in Doug's The Wall review...how..? Especially since Corey seems like the kind of guy that if he watched this review and had 0 involvement, he would've hated the video.
What does Corey Taylor think of Doug Walker's The Wall review?
Thank you for shouting out The Final Cut and Not Now John. That song is up there for me when it comes to Floyd
The Wall was a concept album that got turned into a movie, it was NOT a movie soundtrack.
yes, we are aware
@@sebastienr7852 But is Sly aware?
did you not see the air quotes i did whenever i referred to it as a soundtrack? "soundtrack" ... kind of a 'for all intents and purposes' thing
The intent was to make a film with it, even before the album was recorded.
I will begin by stating, I adore Floyd's prog sound.
Echos and Animals were staple sounds when tripping.
I believe the longer tracks work fantastically well. I adore Meddle, Animals, parts of DSOTM, parts of Division Bell, and Atom Heart Mother.
Why I'm stating this is to set the stage for what I believe will sound disappointing to most fans.
For Dark Side of the Moon,
I believe the album is a 6-8. If we're speaking of the concept album and how tracks bleed into each other then it's an 8. The problem with this is you need to sit and absorb in one listen. Sure you may do that on first listen but if you don't have the time you'd just throw the songs in a larger playlist or listen to them individually. Individually listening is where the problem comes in for me.
Also, when you have an album that has "motifs" and pieces that bleed into each other, it may prove more difficult to divide up after the fact.
A prime example is the clock on Time. It makes an otherwise killer track troubled on multiple relisten aloud. I believe one way they could've fixed or avoided this is to cut the tracks up more properly or add more to the beginning of the song if you really must have that stupid alarm clock.
As a side tangent for where most of this comes from, I remember working in fast food. We sometimes would bring portable speakers in and play music. Around this time I was about 21 and listened to quite a variety of music, so I picked up on most shit in general that was played. This older guy would play his boomer-bar-rock like Steve Miller Band (The Joker.....yeesh) and other popular tracks from a generic rock station playing the 60s into 90s. A lot of the young people are not musically verbose, even guys in their 30s would call some of the music I would listen to "Buffalo Bill music". What this translated to was general naivety when it came to what was out there. Now, one of the tracks the guy would play is Time by Pink Floyd. A song I already knew pretty well from years of listening prior, so I anticipated how he'd deal with the alarm. Let's say the prior song ends at a decently loud volume. When Time began, I watched him intentionally lower the volume on his speaker when the alarm was about to come up and then gradually raise it to a safer volume. I then pondered the impracticality of Pink Floyd tracks because of the artistic intentions of their sound. Whether or not they're listenable in a public setting (portable speaker, sound system, whatever) I found that there were a couple of tracks I would never want to play because of reaction, but would play them anyway because I didn't care (remember I'm the Buffalo Bill guy). Pink Floyd's Time is a well-renowned track on its own, people know it and if they don't, that's their loss. This section was to attempt to reinforce the addressing of how they chop up tracks within DSOTM or The Wall... now onto the Wall.
For the Wall,
Id give this album like a 4-6. Concept definitely would carry it but the tracks...my god. I've put off listening to it for many years. I knew of Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall 2 but that was it. The Trial I found when skipping around but I never looked any further at the rest of the album. This was about when I was 20, I am now 25. I attempted the album when I was 20 but became disinterested around halfway through the 1st half.
On revisit of the first half (The Wall),
If you can manage to stay awake during a lot of these tracks you'd surprise me. This subpar snoozefest is carried HEAVILY by the driving groove of Another Brick in the Wall, which is probably why there are two of them. Sure these tracks kept me awake much better than some crammed-in alarm clock but it still couldn't save it. This also sets in motion the repeating motif that drowns the album later on, completely slathered in constant callbacks to earlier tunes. There's also my general confusion over "Another Brick in the Wall". Is it addressing the fact that the character shelters himself from the outside world by building this mental wall brick by brick? Is it addressing themes of uniformity and following a suit, that in reality, you're nothing more than a punch-in punch-out number? Maybe the album does work better as a film because you'll be able to visualize which idea Pink Floyd (Roger) was attempting to depict here.
The rest of the tracks just sound unfinished in the first half. The lack of the It factor is thrown to the wayside for the cohesion of the concept album rather than being genuinely good pieces.
The previously mentioned factor is what is the make or break for me. Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Empty Spaces, One of My Turns, Don't Leave Now...where is the catchy refrain? Where is the killer guitar solo? It just sounds like a movie soundtrack ( I haven't seen the film) because of how atmospheric and boring these songs are.
I believe people listen to the Mother track because it then ties their experience listening to the entire album. I don't believe it's a good track.
In the 2nd half of the album, there are more meandering "tracks" There are a few good pieces like Comfortably Numb and The Trial. I believe the tracks here are generally better because they crescendo the entire album's message and energy. I was still left disappointed and disinterested by the end of it all.
In all the conversations I've had about people with Pink Floyd. There's never a conversation about the Wall other than Comfortably Numb and The Trial. Sure a true die-hard Pink Floyd fan would stand by the intricate playings of one track or the sparse piano of another reflecting some form of emotion for the greater narrative but I believe the album just lacks color and not in the good way that album cover might portray. I believe the sparseness of the tracks at points can be great but lacks the color of prominent, passionate emotion. It's as if it's Roger Waters putting on a voice and doing impersonations in a barren soundtrack with the occasional guitar solo.
In short, DSOTM and Wall are heavily overrated due to the sheer mentality of most musically inclined listeners of recent years. They're parroting what was put onto them via video essays, their parents, or the fact that this has become the alternative to what the youth and the youth before them have listened to. The video essays by those channels like polyphonic where all they do is review the same 10 Pink Floyd songs or 3 albums repeatedly for the same content drip. Don't even get me started lol.
I believe A keen perception and removal of the nostalgia glasses from several decades ago would prove that The Wall is an alright concept album that when dismantled is nothing more than a pile of mediocre sub-par bricks.
Apologies if anything I wrote is as meandering as The Wall... lol
I loved Doug Walker's The Wall because of all the interesting and funny criticism videos it has spawned, yours included! 😂❤ Pink Floyd's The Wall Forever!
I have some begrudging respect for Doug to embarrass himself like this. It's a magnum opus of doubling down on a stupid take.
he put so much work into something that was so bad.. it's impressively bad
Hahahahah, stammering drunk Josh!!!!!!! Another great video
Ramboraph4life said it best nostalgia critics the wall review doug walker really comes off like someone who wants to be a film director
hey i kinda know that guy ;) yeah well i mean he's done all those awful movies so he technically is a film director... of just really shitty films
One thing I hate about modern music is they brick everything where it all sounds distorted. I remember The Great Southern Trendkill would give me ear fatigue where it was hard to listen to. And years later I found out the reason for that was because they bricked that album and it sounds distorted.
I think rock/metal sounded the best back when it was all analogue, i.e. 70's and 80's.
That album was supposed to sound sludgy.
@@frankf684 It's not about sludgy, but how it was mastered. If you look at the waveform in Audacity, you will see it's bricked. Which makes it sound distorted and is hard on the ear compared to say the original release of Cowboys From Hell, which doesn't have that problem.
Though I believe they remastered Cowboys From Hell and bricked it. So I have to buy the original CD to rip.
ahh yes the good old loudness wars.. you can thank record labels imposing that onto the engineers. Everyone had to compete to be the loudest to capture the listeners attention. I'm sure you already know about all that though. Yeah the NC Wall album was pretty heavily compressed.. even the quiet parts had a large waveform compared to the original PF
I love Animals, Wish You Were Here and DSOTM, but Syd Barrett Floyd is best Floyd. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is leagues better than the Wall. And When the Tigers Broke Free is probably the best song on the Wall, and sadly it’s not even on the Wall. And isn’t Rob Scallon married to the Doug’s Lindsay Ellis replacement Tamara Chambers?
is he? i donno.. was kind of wondering where that rob guy came from
The only good thing I can say about Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is, thanks to Colleen Ballinger's now infamous ukulele non-apology video, Walker's video is no longer the worst RUclips video of all time.
lol
Soon this year is going to be the fifth anniversary of the Nostalgia critic's The Wall review and the fourty-fifth anniversary of The Wall album.
That's so dumb to go after one of the best albums of all-time. Did he also make videos about how The Beatles weren't popular, and how Jimi Hendrix couldn't play guitar?
Beatles are the most overrated band ever.
@@frankf684 i would disagree only because how early in time they made the type of music they did. Sgt Peppers came out in 1967 and was way ahead of it's time. Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show inspired countless famous rock acts today. If they wrote those same songs today it would be ignored because it's not rap or R&B
@@DancingwithGhosts Ah, sorry. My post was sarcastic. Since he had such a bad opinion of The Wall, I was trying to make a joke saying that he must also think The Beatles weren't popular or that Jimi Hendrix couldn't play guitar (things that are wildly untrue). Does that make sense now?
@@ShamrockNRoller oh, oops.. went over my head lol
Here we go! I've been waiting for this one
I don't believe, that Doug Walker really like original "The Wall" album. When I saw his review on it - it looks like he hate this album. Or he's just don't understand what is this music about...
Final Cut is phenomenal! The Gunner’s Dream, Paranoid Eyes, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Not Now John….
My only complaint is the lack of Gilmour’s guitar work. There are a few good solos, but not enough.
yeah.. gilmour wasn't happy to be there with Roge at that point lol
Yeah this was one of Doug's worst and most incompetent reviews he's ever done. And the album itself was a joke. Nice rant and review.
I haven't watched Doug's review, but although I don't think the film The Wall is particularly successful as a representation of the album's story and themes,
it's certainly not a bad film. It's kind of like a very long music video. A bit like Evita, with Madonna...
However, the concept of the wall, what with all of us constructing our own, personal walls around ourselves with bricks made up of traumatic experiences
and memories good and bad, in order to protect ourselves from the world we live in......I think that's just about the most perfectly simple and brilliant
metaphor ever conjured up, and because of that, The Wall, in all of its carnations, gets a free pass.
Now, you can argue about the particular bricks that make up the wall of the main character, Pink, if you want to.
I've always felt that he's a bit of a whiny cunt and there's very little justification for the things he does as an adult, and blames on his upbringing.
But the point is that all our walls are personal to US. It doesn't matter how others feel about them; our walls may seem small or unfathomably tall
to us, since we're trapped within them. And as such, I do think Pink's wall is justifiable in terms of it reflecting his very own mental issues.
And the same can be said for Roger Waters. Some people may not agree with his opinions on a lot of things, but at the end of the day,
those opinions of his are shaped by the bricks in HIS wall. And we, the audience, can only judge them by the bricks that surround ourselves.
So regardless of whether we like The Wall or not, it's our bricks that do the talking for us.
Is Doug's wall more important than Roger Waters' wall, or your wall, or mine? To HIM it is. But I'm not sure he's aware it exists...
I liked when they had Rachel Tietz in the cast.
was she the hottie who was in demo reel?
@@DancingwithGhosts There was a photo of her in your video. But I looked up Demo Reel and see she was in it. She's got a nice rack. haha.
@@colt5189 yeah she was hot, i'm surprised Doug didn't try to hit on her behind the scenes lol
I love that you use fl studio for recording rock music. I get picked on for it too but ive never had a reason to switch despite rarely using midi or loops anymore
i've never heard a convincing argument as to why pro-tools is better than FL Studio besides some ''um... uh... it's just better''
It's so weird to me that people still get this butthurt over this review. We get it, you didn't like his review of the movie. Ok? At this point it honestly just comes off as deeply pathetic to be making a video about it now. It was years ago, let it go.
Rob Scallon was involved in that because he's been for years involved with Tamara Chambers. It wasn't the first time he collaborated in a Nostalgia Critic's video.
yeah that's what another person said too.
Why would Tamera married him of all people?
Would you ever do an AVGN episode tier list?
you know there are over 200 episodes right?
To be fair. Doug Walker the Wall songs are still better written than songs from Disney Wish.
the fact they got Corey Taylor in this video, but just completely wasted his talents is the worst crime this album commits.
Corey Taylor is one of my favorite vocalists, I think his screams are monstrous and his clean singing is beautiful, and he can do comedy, so I don't know why they made Doug sing all but two tracks, and Corey Taylor only gets one, and it's the fucking Spongebob theme song.
which like, he's sang the Spongebob theme song at his acoustic shows when he was promoting his books, so if you wanted to hear Corey Taylor singing the Spongebob theme song, you could just watch his live shows, rather than sitting through this bullshit.
and maybe it was on purpose, like a troll, because Corey Taylor is in the thumbnail, and he's a well known and well loved vocalist, so you expect to hear his solid vocals, but nope, it's just Doug wailing and seemingly mocking Roger Waters, ha ha, very funny... even though it's not.
I mean, the lyrics are still hot ass, but they'd at least be more bearable if Corey sang them.
Can't wait for Doug Side Of The Moon
I noticed a flaw in your video: you asked Douge Walker to be subtle. You arent gonna teach this fish to climb a tree lol
the scientology books are concerning..
i have a fascination with cults... did you also notice the heaven's gate patch on my hat?
@@DancingwithGhosts thank god it's only a fascination, I was seriously worried at first man
@@AbrasiousProductions hellll nawww i grew up Southern Baptist.. I'm good on religion for the rest of my life
if his parody was creative, clever, or even funny i would have no problem with doug taking the piss on the wall. dude should have done a few oopen miic stand ups or took a song writing woorkshoop before taking on such a tall order
Final cut is underrated for sure
so is Radio KAOS
Seems like Rob Scallon didn't put too much effort on that shit, seems like the method i do, find a tab or midi, import to daw, insert instrumentt, copy and paste, export. lol
Doug Walker really thought this would be a banger. The second hand embarrassment is almost immeasurable. "DarksydePhil May 1st Incident"-level embarrassing
oh no.. not the webcam incident.. i'm surprised you still watch my channel btw i feel like i've pissed you off multiple times
@@DancingwithGhosts I like your channel and vids
Have you seen Jay Doing Things' DarksydePhil AVGN intro parody?
@@sueblantin5966 can't say that i have.. sounds interesting though
This is hands down the worst thing Doug Walker has ever done, and I've seen the Channel Awesome movies...
oh god that's 12 hours of your life you'll never get back with those crazy run times
It was the last Nostalgia Critic video I ever watched.
It's ok, or you can listen to Linda Ronstadt sing poor poor pitiful me and save yourself some time.
I prefer Cinema Snob over NC anyways...Brad Jones is way more clever and funny...he should be bigger than what he is
“Your opinion is unpopular therefore you are wrong”
I agree with you. It was very tough to watch Nostalgia Critic’s video of The Wall.
With the NC videos, I still watch them today I get enjoyment out it. I turn ny brain off. But I legit like the "First Time Watch With Doug & Rob", and Doug's thoughts of movies outside of the NC character.
But this review cannot be forgiven.
It was Time!!!!
I bet that a lot do not agree with me, but, for me, my favorite Pink Floyd album is A Momentary Lapse of Reason
it's a great record
I didn´t see the movie, but the Album was great. My only complain, too long, some songs felt like "fillers". Animals, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you Were Here were better. Roger Waters was taking over the band by then, so yes, a little bit selfindulgent in some songs. But Comfortably Numb is a master piece of a song, also Another Brick on the Wall.
Walker has just lost the last little piece of respect I had for him.
I like Doug's earlier stuff, but the stuff he's relased so far since November has been meh...too much forgettable animated and Disney stuff. I guess with this video, he thought it would be funny and clever to be the RUclips version of Weird Al Yankovic, but without the talent and comedic ability and timing
yeah it definitely had a dollar store Weird Al feel to it
The parody lyrics are actually headache inducing, they are a complete misunderstanding of if the source material
Don't like Pink Floyd, But respect them. ....mr. Walker...not so much 😆
The biggest mystery is what was anyone doing still watching nostalgia critic in 2019.
You had me at "hello" with this title. Wow.
The Final Cut is better than “The Wall”. However “When The Tigers Broke Free” was only added to 2004 version of the album (and every version after). Just letting you know it wasn’t on original album
yeah that's what someone else said too... this whole time I thought it had been on the original.. always something new to learn
If Big Radio and the media wanted to they could have turned Young Lust into a top Ten rock song of the ‘70s and no one would know any different.
i've heard young lust on the radio before
@@DancingwithGhosts it is, all the time, I mean they could have over done it like Hotel California or something and no one would know the difference.
Never watched any nostalgia critic hahaha surprised I’ve been able to avoid him
he has some ok stuff but this just kind of ruined him for me
@@DancingwithGhosts Honestly I have no idea how I wasn’t recommended any of his videos by the all knowing algorithm; I’m chronically online and seem to watch a lot of similar content.
In the end it accomplished two positive things: 1) It did get others analyzing The Wall when it had kind of dropped from the zeitgeist (Dan Olsen and Matt Ammar especially with fantastic videos), and 2) it lost Doug any remaining clout he had.
Folding Ideas is a anti-gamer gate guy that uploaded CP to 8chan to get back at that website for exposing gamer gate. You talk about clout but here you are trying to grift for some.
Never found anything he's done to be funny, or insightful, or authentic.
Not an aweful take, you just don't like it. How it is a failure if people enjoyed it?
This video is just you saying that you are butt hurt that someone did a video on something you like,
this is where i seriously started to hate Doug
As for the album and music video I did not think it was funny. I used to watch Doug all the time until about the third anniversary special. But I heard about how bad the video was so decided to check it out. Cringe is so overused these days but I cringed at almost every second of it. I ended up skipping to the end and couldn't make it more than 10 seconds into that SpongeBob theme.
cringe is the only word worthy of describing the review.. it was so hard to watch
I'll never understand how anyone is trying to redeem Dog Walker after this and his other numerous f-ups connected to change the channel. From Doug sending out his army of "debunkers" to make it go away (and the sheep that believed it, because the internet is largely the domain of gullible idiots, of course), and then this video, I don't understand how anyone can stand him anymore. Even Bamesy truthers are somehow finding Doug worth appreciating nowadays, though I think it's only out of desperation and boredom, since Bimbim can't get his act together and is only getting worse. Thanks for keeping this in our memories, this tresspass should really NEVER be forgotten, or forgiven!
It's a review that's several years old at this point. The fact that people like this chump is still making videos about it is weird and pathetic.
That review NC did of the wall was the exact moment I said "Screw you Doug, you're dead to me!" and it was also the final straw after the whole "Change The Channel" controversies that came out.
he really didnt get ABITW 2... the song is about archiac British Grammar schools , not pandering to the ''US Education system'' LOL
The Final Cut, I have to disagree with ya, I sleep.
“I wish Pink Floyd would collab with Daughtry”
- Josh
plzz
I think NC hates this album and film so much because it hits so close to home for him.
i donno he really seems to love school, he seemed to get particularly triggered by Roger Waters talking down about it
I watched the NC Video on Release or years later and oh boy how shitty and hilarious it was. I was shocked😐
How embarrassing...
Bimmy and Rex Viper are better than Poop Walker
Ya got a sub from me just mentioning "Not Now John"... hell yeah!
I stopped watching after NC reviewed Event Horizon. Not a perfect movie but the flaws he was pointing were just dumb. The skits sucked too. Couldn't even finish the episode. Never went back.
all i remember about that review was the extended death scene or something like that that they cut out of the final version
First Burst!
mmm yummy
Wouldn't know how to critique NC's take on The Wall, but that album cover is one of the most atrocious images I've seen.
I'm not gonna "defend" The Wall review, because, on a fundamental level, it is a really bad video. I think a trap a LOT of RUclipsrs fall into when making a parody video like this is they consume the media through a lens of just looking for stuff to make fun of. Which for something like CinemaSins, say what you will about them, viewing through that filter is okay. For a review, though, ya kinda need more nuance than that.
I feel like Doug doesn’t really make sense, he doesn’t really critique stuff, it’s more cosplay and acting like cartoon characters, well whatever lol
i think he despises the fact that he made it big off critiquing movies instead of making his own movies so he shoe-horns his wannabe film making into his 'reviews'
@@DancingwithGhosts I never watched him enough to form an opinion on that, his content never clicked with me. It seems a bunch of theater kids, cosplaying / improv skits about Hollywood movies… it’s mostly just incoherent, to me. lol
Love these videos!
Nostalgia Critic is a Britney Spears fan
2nd place!!!🎉
This is pandering as hell...
HEY! EMO-GUY!
LEAVE DOUG WALKER ALONE!
Good God, the eall is as bloated as the white album but not in a good way. While no one can agree which songs could be cut from the white album, we all know which songs could be cut from the wall. It's one album and a half of good ideas. Less really. And six, count em, six versions of abitw. Hey you, waiting for the worms and the trial ... it's the same riff.
very disagree
@@DancingwithGhosts Bring the boys back home, Vera, etc etc. And you can't deny the sameness of the riffs I pointed out. You can always listen to the song poor poor pitiful me if you're in a hurry. Sorry, but the wall isn't all that compelling compared to their earlier stuff. It's just not.
