I would not recommend this for those who haven't sat down and listened to the album about 10-20 times for multiple reasons. First of all, to get a basis from where the movie is coming from, it's essential that you familiarize yourself with the story - otherwise some may find the film very confusing at times. Also, Waters' original vision is found in the album without being filtered through the likes of Parsons and Scarfe, although they in my opinion did and excellent job. Finally, to get the full effect of music in a narrative form, such as THE WALL, one must create their own images of the music, for if you view someone else's interpretation first, it takes away the interactive aspect for the fans. In short, get the CD before the film.
