1/9/2024 0 Comments Nostalgia critic the wallWould this still be an absolute failure? Yes. That it's just a parody album in the same vein as Cal Cuchesta's The New Cal-assic, or Weird Al's classic Off the Deep End. That Walker and Scallon just decided one day to parody The Wall. Now let's pretend for a second that there wasn't a video to accompany this album. Yes, for 7 buckaroos, you can cringe to such masterpieces as "Waiting For the Point", or "Comfortably Dumb", without the aid of its cringe-worthy visual counterpart. And if it wasn't bad enough that this has ended up being his worst review since his review of Hocus Pocus, he decided to release the completely unlistenable "parody music" for people to buy. So what could go wrong? The answer? Everything. With the aid of Rob Scallon, a multi-instrumentalist, he does just that. Hell, the idea of making a parody of the album/movie to review it is pretty decent too. Admittedly, the idea of doing a review as a sort of musical isn't a bad one. But nope, he just HAD to go above and beyond to prove to the world just how terrible he is at critiquing things that aren't movies. Walker could have spared himself the scourge of the internet by just making an unfunny video of him just shouting at the camera about how much he hates The Wall, and left it at that. Keep in mind too, if this was just that, a review, I wouldn't be writing this. So it goes without saying that it's completely baffling that a review of The Wall from him could be so off-the-mark. There's plenty more examples I could use, but this one is a lot more profound than it has any right to be. His review of the legendary Yuletide animated dumpster fire The Christmas Tree is a perfect example, where he rants about how whoever made the film completely missed the point of Christmas. And just one look at any Nostalgia Critic video, and it's clear that he feels very strongly about whatever it is he decides to rant about. ![]() only to realize building walls only worsens his problems, and destroy said wall. Wish You Were Here expresses his anger at corporations and how they treat workers- musicians, ordinary people, you name it, Animals is a glorified rant about CEOs, religion and politicians, and his legendary rock opera The Wall is where he lashes out at the government, the military, fans, groupies, and pretty much everything under the sun as he builds a physical wall around himself. Both seem to be defined by that very emotion it's the word that sums up how Roger Waters decides to sing about certain subjects. Sure, one is a legendary musician, was part of the legendary band Pink Floyd, and helped leave his mark on pop culture with a number of iconic albums to his name, and the other is an angry internet guy who makes videos of himself shouting at the camera about movies, but there's a word in that previous sentence that unites the two: anger. Review Summary: Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine? Is this not what you expected to see?īelieve it or not, Roger Waters and Doug Walker have a lot more in common than you'd think.
