This didn't need a new topic. The answer is no. The Wall is an introspective album once Roger Waters had taken over the band. There are different eras of Floyd: the early psychedlic Syd Barrett days, which range in emotions, the David Gilmour days, which is to say from Dark Side of the Moon to Wish You Were Here, which I consider very happy, although certainly Wish You Were Here was a sad album in its own right, it seems like a bit of a celebration. Animals is pretty depressing, but dense lyrically, and there's the Wall, which showed Roger's full takeover of the band. The later stuff either follows suite or sucks, album to album.
