The Dark Side Of The Moon

Of course this is a perfect album. What more can I say? Personally, I prefer Wish You Were Here and think it's a better album but that just tells you how good Pink Floyd were at the time.

It’s Dark Side of the Moon. If only someone could make Roger Waters realize that so he’d stop messing with it.

Classic

easily one of the greatest albums of all time

Perhaps the greatest album ever recorded

Down and out It can't be helped But there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny It's what the fighting's all about Out of the way it's a busy day I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died One of the top 10 best albums of all literal time. In thousands of years, this will still be remembered as a great human achievement. 100/5

Easyyyyyyy

It's hard to say anything novel about this album. I'll just say that it always hits harder than I expect, given all the hype. But ya know... it really is that unique, especially when you situated it within its historical context. It's a true classic. Even the art is some of the most important, influential in pop music history. I don't even know how to approach evaluating this "objectively". It changed the world dramatically before I was even born.

one of the greatest albums of all time - listen to it at least once a month (if not more) The older you get the more poignant 'Time' Becomes

A pretty good weekend

I don’t think there is anything I can say that hasn’t been said. It deserves all the praise it gets and more. Perfect.

Perfect album

BEST SONGS: - On the Run - The Great Gig in the Sky - Us and Them

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. the details and almost story telling sends chills throughout. it was incredible and no complaints!

In 1998 J and S and I rented Wizard Of Oz and queued up the lion's third roar then hit play on this CD. It was trippy, man. For real. Do it. The album that's almost become a meme. Two or three of the big songs are probably playing on your classic rock stations at this very moment which completely kills the vibe of this album listening to a one off of Money followed by Aerosmith and .38 Special. Gak. It sounds completely different and wrong when shuffled in with other 70s songs. This is an album in the truest sense - I hear or think of it as one 45 minute suite. Play it in it's entirety, at high volume or in headphones and don't stop it. It is that good. Rather, all-time great. 10/10 epic 5 stars obviously.

4.5/5 almost perfect, very few flaws

One of the best records ever produced. I can still remember listening to „money“ for the first time. A great experience

Is any explanation even needed? I have considered 'The Dark Side of The Moon' to be my favorite album of all-time for quite some time now, and a re-listen only solidified that opinion. I don't even know where to start talking about this album. Just listen to it. All in one sitting, no interruptions. I think then you'll understand how I feel about it.

Any album that is closing in on its fiftieth anniversary and still charts is an easy five-star.

GOAT

The Dark Side Of The Moon is one of the most seminal psych/rock albums of history. Centred around the ideas of madness, with themes of conflict, greed, time, death, and mental illness. Built upon experiments from previous live shows and recordings, cohesively pieces, across the two sides of vinyl, continuous pieces of music. The first exploring the nature of the human experience and the second highlights the common traits shared by humanity, namely mental illnesses, conflict and personal relationships. By modern standards the hyped psychedelia of the album is a little overhyped in my opinion, however I can certainly see that this album has paved the way for modern psychedelic rock and trance. I enjoyed listening to this album in it's entirety for the first time and would love to have this sitting on my vinyl shelf. Best: Money Worst: Speak To Me

didnt even need to listen, this is clearly a 5

It’s been a very long time since I’ve listened to this one and on a re listen it is truly a beautiful piece of work; the transition between tracks, the eb and flow, it just works. Plus the base line in Money, the singing in Great Gig, and the guitar solo in Time are amongst the best of the best. Then you get the perfect finish with Brain Damage/Eclipse. Easy 5 stars.

its just good start to finish

It's so rich with memories, so full of talent, and such a masterwork that it can be difficult to revisit. The memories were full of joy, so much so that I miss them now.

Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” is proof that a prog rock concept album can be done right. It clocks in at just 42 minutes, and “Time” is not just an amazing song but also something that Pink Floyd was the master of. The longer tracks don’t wander aimlessly for too long, instead being built with purpose. From the stark and iconic cover art to the space created by the opening and “The Great Gig in the Sky,” it is an excellently crafted piece of rock music.

Sonic nirvana.

This album lets me know that prog rock, when executed well, can be amazing. It’s hard to put into words what has been accomplished here. The only criticism I have is that Money has been massively over played. It’s a great song, but like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I’m not nearly as excited about it as it deserves due to over exposure. I don’t listen to Pink Floyd much anymore and I enjoyed Money this time round. I don’t think I can pick a favorite song off this album. Of them all, I feel Time encompasses its concept perfectly. Between the constant ticking of the toms and the lyrics I feel as though I’ve experienced the full breadth of a life, a retrospective time lapse sequence, in less than 7 minutes. “No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun” is such a fucking brilliant line, invoking a sense of regret. And for it be followed immediately by Gilmour’s mind blowing guitar solo!!! Gilmour is the master of the bend and he puts it on such a display here, like treasures artifacts in glass cases at The British Museum. I could go on and on, but I’ll spare you. Top 10 album of all time for me no doubt.

✨🌈💎🌈 ✨

Classic, and it get's better with every listen

A go to

Not my first listen Peak classic rock Lyrics are existential but beautiful Love the song transitions Interview segments add to the atmosphere Favourite tracks: Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Us And Them, Brain Damage, Eclipse

One of Pink Floyd's best. "Us and Them" is my favorite.

Speak to Me- N/A Breathe- 4.7/5 On the Run- N/A Time- 5/5 The Great Gig in the Sky- 5/5 Money- 5/5 Us and Them- 4.8/5 Any Colour You Like- 4.3/5 Brain Damage- 4.7/5 Eclipse- 5/5 Total: 4.8/5

I mean come on, it's Dark Side

Capolavoro

Saying outstanding is simply not good enough.

5 star album, no question. This record made vouch a big impression on me. I was seventeen when it came out, and i used to listen to it on my headphones constantly. The chiming clocks at the start of Time seemed to me, to be the most awesome sound that I’d ever experienced. Fifty years later, I’m 67 and it still sounds bloody fantastic. Should be taught at schools all over the land, so the poor little sods don’t have to listen to some of the garbage we all have to endure in 2023.

The epitome of the perfect album. Not much else to say.

Normally I'd be a lot less interested when an album has all these cerebral, self-indulgent instrumentals that sound like filler, but not so much when they actually elevate the rest of the record, which already sounds so lush. As an entire body of work this is really strong. Sort of like a greatest hits album where you have several distinct hits, but even better because here, every track fits so well with one another to create a complete experience. It's atmospheric, sonically diverse, and has a lovely sax too. This transcends music - it's art. As pretentious as that sounds, it's true!! And those transitions between songs? Sublime.

Glorious. Best PF album. This is an easy 5. The only thing I like more on this list than an easy 5 is a surprise 5.

Stone cold classic. I've loved this album since I was a kid. I've listened to it countless times over the years. Some people say it's overrated, but I think it actually is the best Floyd album (The Wall is the overrated one) Those Gilmour/Wright harmonies. While they are perhaps better known for their prowess with their respective instruments I absolutely love the their voices on this album. What can I say? This has been a favorite of mine for close to 30 years. What a streak I've been on. 3 5's in a row. I'm probably in for some dreck now.

Peak

пизды все получат

Пинк Флойд уже тоже стала группой, которую прям даже тяжело. Считается, что ты идёшь вразрез с мнением большинства в таком случае. Мне потребовалось 3 или 4 раза прослушать альбом целиком, чтобы что-то для себя прояснить. Это - один из замечательнейших альбомов, которые написаны как альбом. И уровень эпичности, который нагоняется весь альбом, возрастает до небес к концу пластинки. Великая космическая симфония, что-то такое. Под такую музыку только с планеты и съёбывать.

впервые послушал целиком и понял, откуда такая легендарность (до этого слышал money и пару лайвов). еще сегодня плеер с наушниками приехал и я уже знаю, какой фнак файл будет скачан первым

One of my top three favorite albums by my favorite band. This was a easy five-star

What can I say? A rich, deep album that let's you skim the surface or dog deep into lyrics and instrumentation. Love it!

I mean everyone knows this album by the cover at least. It's one of the few very iconic albums and I think that it is a good album. It's good, very good to say the least but it's nothing more. It is just very good but doesn't achieve the greatness of other albums even Pink Floyd ones. Both Wish You Were Here and Animals are better. Only a few songs achieve the greatness of other Pink Floyd albums like Wish You Were Here or Animals. Those songs are Speak to Me/Breathe in the Air, Great Gig in the Sky and Brain Damage/Eclipse. All in all the album's not what I would consider a 10/10 or even a 9/10 Not bad but very very overrated. But because I give the next best star if a part is started and this would be 4.25/5, it's 8.5/10 (5/5) Best Song: Speak to Me (yes it's my fav.)

Fantastic album

gay triangle

Maybe my favorite album ever front to back.

One of the finest albums ever recorded

A classic.

Certified classic

The album to listen to as a whole. This is a very well designed album, they are putting a lot of thoughts into building the spacy psychedelic feel(The woozy sound effects, some sparse instrumentals). The use of sampling might be a little bit too straightforward, but using them in rock music was really ahead of its time. I wasn’t paying attention to the lyrics at all, tho. And the cover art is one of the best. 4/5

It's just a stone cold classic album. No filler, artists at their peak, beautifully composed and recorded.

Do I even need to say anything?

Cream of the crop of amazing music from the 70s. Timeless and mesmerizing.

I can definitely see why this is a must-have album by a lot of critics. My first listen and it was a good one. 5/5

Great album!

brilliant album, brilliant songs, brilliant cover. legendary album, legendary songs, legendary cover. i can talk about the greatness of this album for a very long time, but i won't, i'll just say again that it's great. added tracks: full album fav track: all 10/10

Legendary. All time favorite.

Classic alert! Half of pink floyd fans seem to call it their best album and the other half call it overrated. One of their best albums in my opinion, not much else to say.

In fairness, is there _anyone_ who doesn't like this? *lol* (Wish You Were Here is better 😂😁)

Goated

cudo

As much as I'd love to play the contrarian this is essentially flawless. Anything that continues to hold up, both in society and to you as your music taste develops and changes, is damn impressive. Fav track: time

I need to listen to the album with my headphones on and without any distractions. It's a masterpiece.

Listening to this album feels like an Event. It can't just be some background music. Sure, you can play it way too loud late at night at house party, but that'll make you conflicted if you really want to scream over the music to talk to other people or just listen. I consider that an Event too.

Truly great album. That was my first time listening this album from beginning to the end without interruption. Music is great, I love those vocals (especially synced vocals). It's just perfect.

9/10 Poggers

Well Roger Waters turned into an obnoxious apologist for this century's biggest war criminal so far, & the 67 year old man doesn't worship this album as the 17 year old boy did, but it's still up there with the very best.

It DSTOM

Fantastic album. The lyrics are some of my favorite of all time. Reminds you to be here now, live joyfully in the moment, and to remember that all your perceived problems are insignificant in the grand scheme.

Another album by the Floyd about the futility of life, greed, conflict, mental health, and mortality. You could pretty much cut and paste the previous sentence and use it to describe most of their albums. But while you would never call DTSOM (or the Floyd in general) uplifting, it’s still excellent, with its universal themes of existential angst set to an immaculately produced, rousing, and concise set of songs which are as relevant today as they were in ’73.

Couldn't have be randomly generated a better album for 4/20

One of my all time favorite albums. Always great to revisit.

Drugs don't make Pink Floyd great. Pink Floyd makes drugs great.

I can't really add anything to what's already been said about this legendary record.

This is the first album I’ve been generated that I’ve felt a little intimidated by. I’ve never listened to the album in full before, but I know that people have very strong opinions on this album and how good it is. I’m a little scared that I don’t like it then there might be a hit put on me! But let’s listen, and see how good Dark Side Of The Moon really is. Songs I already knew: Money Favourites: Breathe, Money, Us and Them I’ve always loved when songs bleed from one into another seamlessly. I like how it gives an album the feel of one whole experience, rather it being just a bunch of songs. This is an album with that experience in abundance. The music isn’t quite as strange as I was expecting (I’ve previously listened to The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn which was really wacky) and has plenty of memorable hooks, whether that be on piano, guitar or vocals. Overall, I feel that this album is genuinely deserving of the ample praise it gets.

One of my favourite albums of all time. It is top 3 albums ever made. The cohesiveness of DSOTM is absolutely incredible and is landmark in the world of popular music.

Dark Side Of The Moon doesn't really have hit songs, it doesn't even really have a genuine hit. They wrote Money as a double V to the record label and publicity pressures. I respect that. Let's talk what make this rekid one for the ages. The organ and piano. The vocals of Clare Torry. The interplay of guitars. The vocals of Clare Torry. The way each song flows from one to the next. The vocals of Roger Waters and David Gilmour. The vocals of Clare Torry. This was a groundbreaking album written as a whole experience. And people got it. Especially the reverb and guitars, and the vocals of Clare Torry.

Not all of it hits, but the bits that do, really do. The musical and conceptual themes are quite magnificently integrated.

What is there to say. It's insane that this is the most popular and most recognized album of all time. If something like this came out now it wouldn't even chart. While not the most challenging listen, it demands so much more of the listener than today's godawful mainstream rock music. It's simply on a different level. This album is very emotionally intense and you can feel how genuine it is in the music. It's lush and dense with a lot of different things going on, the songs perfectly run together to create a feeling of being lost in the sound. The lyrics are perfectly vague enough as to not spell everything out super clearly and let's you have the intelligence to understand them. It's a timeless album that will always hold up. And this isn't even Pink Floyd's best album Score: 100. Art: 100 Personally not my favorite art of all time but it is literally the most iconic image in all of music

I see the rainbow triangle, I upvote. I doubt I can add anything to the conversation that hasn't already been said about this record. It's an experience and everyone should listen to it front to back. It's considered one of the greatest albums of all time and it might not even be Pink Floyd's best. Absolute Faves: Time, Us and Them

Great atmospheric start. Songs flow together really well. Musical composition great. Beautiful songs. Great bass playing.

Why even ask? Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most classic of classic albums. It's innovative use of tape loops and samples (typically only seen in experimental music at the time) set the pattern for music today. It also rocks hard. Half the album is still in heavy rotation on most classic rock stations and college and high school students still buy it. Dark Side of the Moon still holds the current record for most YEARS on the Billboard Top 100 Album list. It is literally the stoner soundtrack of the 70s and beyond.

LP

Absolutely perfect. One's quibbles have to do with things like the length of "Breathe" and "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" (all of which are too short). The sax and guitar solos on "Money" are perfectly complementary, making a song that could have been seriously stupid. "Us versus Them" is as pretty a song as any rock band ever devised. The production remains a wonder 50 years on (see "Any Colour You Like"). And what more can be said about the closing cut(s)? They've not lost an iota of their power and are a strong contender for greatest rock song ever (the actual title cut of the follow-up record is, too), with its/their gathering orchestral crescendo, gospel backing vocals and Biblical-philosophical lyrics. One knows more or less every note and still feels challenged and uplifted, n the way of great and timeless art.

It spent 937 weeks on the Billboard 200 - 18 years!

Classic

perfection.

easy 5

Never gets old!

Easy 5 stars. I've listened through the album dozens of times and enjoy it equally each time. Perfect.

One of my favorite albums. Easy 5 stars

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this album? The song-writing, instrumentation and overall flow of this album are immaculate.

very really good. haven't listened to classic rock in a very long time so i was going in with medium high expectations. one of the things i really love about this album is that it's lowk ahead of its time, but it still has that early 70s late 60s classic rock sounds. i also think that this is a very cohesive album that sticks to its theme and communicates a well written story. the way the track flow together and connect gives me immeasurable joy. the vocals are this album are great as well. i mean the great gig in the sky is on here soooo. but even on other tracks besides that one, the vocals push the song further and idk add on to it in a good way. sonically, this album is fucking amazing. i think even if you're not into classic rock, its hard to hate this album. anyone who gives this album less than a 7.5/10 is out of their mind and just wants to be different so bad. or they don't understand music and the impact pink floyd has had on the world and a shit ton of artists. 5/5 can understand why it's a classic. has some strange warmth to it.

Perfect.

I appreciate this more at this age then I did as a kid

5 stars, kind of a surprising rating as I wouldn't say to anyone that this is one of my fav albums. But it's obv great.

Classic!!

One of the absolute GOATs

I love Pink Floyd. While Rogger Watters is a shit person he is great at lyrics, especially for this album. (with that said thank goodness for gilmore is a wholesome person). This album is a all time classic. I remember listening to it for the first time and being absolutely blown away. The idea of covering classic ideas such as money, war, & time is timeless. The sound of the album feels like your on a interstellar space ship traveling across the stars, where those classic topics are as relevant as ever.

"I can't think of anything to say I think it's marvelous" I'll see you on the dark side of the moon!

Despite the enormous reputation of this album, it was better than expected. The artistic creativity behind the song-writing is astounding; as is the fact it was made in 1973. The only gripe I could possibly find is that a few of the songs are extremely similar, which makes a few of them sink below the others. Overall: a true work of art.

What an amazing album.

Easy 5. Definitely one of my favourite records ever. This time through I was really struck by how confident and bold the main guitar line is on Time. David Gilmour really was a bit of a visionary.

It's fucking Dark Side. Recently read a conspiracy that the album is supposed to be played B side first then A side: Starting with Money and ending with Great Gig in the Sky. Listening to it like this definitely changes the tone of the album and is an interesting approach to something I've listened through many times. I'd recommend it to any long time listener as its easy on Vinyl and easier with modern services

This album is so iconic, I don't even listen to it anymore... I was afraid to play it tonight. So often I dig up some landmark album from my past and the bubble is burst, the magic is gone, and the memory is tainted. This did not disappoint me at all. Nothing in the world sounds like Dark Side of The Moon. The band was blessed at this particular moment and I am thankful.

Genuinely adore this album. Not gonna use this as a platform to slate Roger. Nor am i going to listen to the anniversary version, cos that twatnozzle has farted his spoken word nonsense all over it. thanks, ya jerk

What do I say about this album? This one was in my older brother's record collection in the 70s and was one of the few that I liked to listen to. I was also fascinated with the cover. "Money" was my favorite song. I bought it on CD in the early 90s and definitely tried to sync it with "The Wizard of Oz." It's simply a perfect listening experience from beginning to end and always has been. Even though it had been years since I listened to it, it's so burned into my brain that I wouldn't know what it was like to hear it for the first time.

I have listened to this album many times. I credit this to my bestie…I am thinking she even had a Dark Side of the Moon poster in college…I was otherwise not cool enough. At any rate, this is an ultimate album experience!!

I listened to Dark Side on 8-Track a lot in my teens. Today brought back memories of doing math homework stretched out on shag carpet. There are still parts of this album where I fully expect to hear the music fading out, followed by the ka-thunk of the tape changing tracks, and the same song fading back in. The lyrics certainly hit my 54-year-old ears differently than they did at 14. I'd never actually understood much of "Us and Them" and reading the streaming lyrics today nearly knocked me down. (Instead, I looked up to see a baby with giant blue eyes staring at me and we held each others' gaze for a good minute on the bus. That was intense.) I'm relieved and grateful that this album is still as good, if not better than it always was. It does not seem dated, does not feel tired. Every fall on the college campus where I teach, as the kids are settling into their new dorms, there are always Dark Side posters on display at the pop-up poster sale on the quad. I take some comfort in the fact that the teens too still find it good.

Apple’s notes for this album say, “Dark Side of the Moon is a little like puberty: Feel how you want about it, but you’re gonna have to encounter it one way or another.” I’ve finally reached that moment. I know a couple of these songs. I’ve heard parts of the album playing in the background here and there. I have never listened to this album from beginning to end. It only took me 50 years to get here… Timeless, classic, incredible. A long-overdue addition to my favorite albums.

Certainly a top 10 album of all time.

Disco más importante de Pink Floyd. Vinilo.

Een van mijn favoriete albums sinds de 1e keer dat ik het luisterde.

Easy 5 stars. This isn't just an album. It is an experience and a masterpiece of art.

Today's album was the second Pink Floyd album I've gotten on this generator. This is Pink Floyd's 8th studio album, and it is another concept album, based on the pressures faced by the band during their busy lifestyle, and loosely touched on the mental health issues of former band member Syd Barrett. This is the first of Floyd's albums not to feature Syd, and instead to have David Gilmour on guitar and co-lead vocals. With the departure of Syd, the one noticeable difference is the lack of long acid induced guitar solos. This album is much more concise and direct than its predecessors. I love how this album flows together into one cohesive song. Also the way it starts and finishes with a heartbeat.... Leading the listener on a rollercoaster ride through the life of someone who grows up, chases money, and battles mental illness. It is absolutely phenomenal, especially the song Time. Overall an amazing album, and one I have heard before, and will definately listen to again. Favourite songs: Time, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, Breathe (In the Air), Eclipse Least favourite songs: If forced to pick, Speak to Me 5/5

Oh no. I wanted to be brief but all of this juts came out of me.... Not time to edit. Review dark side of the moon - pink Floyd Wow. The English can do something right after all. :B∆) It's remarkable this was a 1974 concept album that still holds up - IMPRESSIVE. A definitive one. It's an experience all right. You aren't gonna sit and listen to a whole album very often, but this would absolutely have to make the top10 list. It's the 4th nuggets seller of all time. And spent more than 800 weeks on the charts Earlier Pink Floyd albums - by comparison - are just earlier (lesser) formative experiments into music and soundscape excisions. And this one has a female vocal bit. And what a on amazing improvisational moment it is! This is the Masterpiece. It was in the top 200 for more than 900 weeks, and it's still in the top 20 charts for Vinyl after 50 years. I just listened to it twice through. 1 on big speakers. I forgot how huge their sound and emotional range is. 2. Big headphones - even more immersive. And impressive. And not at all tiring. If I had one word for this long review it's simply “Wow”. Make no mistake, it's full psychic and sensory journey and soundscape, this is a “concept album” - intended as a sit down experience front and back. Not for the singles! like many of this era, yes, it is commentary on many things (there were issues here album encountered with insanity and conflict and greed and the loss of Sid Barret - but very different to Back in Black, it's about a genuine creative who can't function any more in their world) so it's also on alienation, connection, search and insight, including imitating what drugs (probably at high doses) and we definitely gets a sense other forms of rapture - physical, sexual and spiritual - are like, and pleasing forms of anaesthesia and numbness (more of that on their next album). The transition from track 1 to 2 being very much the onset or “ rush “ of a drug. And there is the languid yet EPIC Pink Floyd sound. Even people who haven't had drugs can tell, this must be drug music. They paint quite a picture. A side note: cannabis - for context - in the 70s and 80s was much more relaxing and feel good (and less of a high). It was very high in CBD with a fraction of the THC of today so it would have felt more mellow. A beanbag and a pink Floyd album and good company was all you needed back then. So much better than the other Pink Floyd albums I've encountered on this list so far As a 50 something year old who doesn't actually own a copy, all I can say is it just sweeps over you. And I remember my first few listens to it well - it's quite amazing. And you don't need to be high to enjoy it. This is one of their top 3, with 'Wish you were here' and maybe 'Momentary Lapse of reason' being essential listening too. Especially on headphones. P.S. I never saw them “in concert” but I did hear them from a stadium 5 Kilometres away in 1990 and it was, well, “wow” then too, it was so loud and clear, filling the sky. The twilight seemed to go on for hours and hours. Maybe it was the stadium lights. And there actually were flying pigs. True.

holy shit

One of the most impactful albums in my life, and one of my top 5 personal favourite artists. Its funny, today I was suggested this album, and on the sunday I am going to watch aussi floyd (cover band) and roger waters the coming month.

esse album é tão unico e perfeito que eu considero ele um genero musical sozinho. nenhuma outra banda nem sequer o proprio pink floyd nos seus outros trabalhos foi capaz de criar algo que chegasse perto disso em termos de beleza e perfeição sonora. o nome de genero é The Dark Side of The Moon

listened to again a triumph

A masterpiece. Pink Floyd synthesized everything they had done at this point and created a magnificent piece of progressive rock.

The greatest album ever?

As unimaginably brilliant as ever.

One of the albums you expect to be on this list. Classic.

What's to say that hasn't been said?

OK Roger's a left wing whacko. I am too when it comes to being anti-war but we can agree to disagree on many of his views on capitalism. As a result, I really like Money but Us and Them is my favourite song on the album. Who hasn't played the air drums to the drum bits at the start of Time?. Clare Torry makes the song "The Great Gig in the Sky '' but I can't agree with giving her songwriting credit. The lyrics throughout the album are relatively easy to figure out although the talking between some of the songs is a mystery. What on earth is a fader eleven? (mumbled at the end of Time)

Whan can I say about this album that hasn't been said already? I will try: It's a brilliant production by Alan Parsons (Money listened to with headphones is still unbelievable). Pink Floyd asked AP to produce Wish You Were Here but he was too busy putting together the Alan Parsons Project debut LP. As a side note, no APP albums made it onto the 1001 list. There's a song on the 1972 album Meddle called Echo, that takes up an entire album side. If you listen to that song you can hear the roots of songs from DSOTM like "Time" and "Us and Them" in the harmonizing of David Gilmour and Richard Wright. Anyway, what kind of score do you give an album that since its release more than 50 years ago, still pops up annually in some county's sales charts?

I've been putting off listening to this album for the past few years because I wanted to listen to it with "fresh" ears when it eventually came up on 1,001. Well, after 723 albums it's finally arrived in my inbox. This one is actually difficult to review because what can I say that hasn't already been said about it before? After listening to it I am reminded that yes, this is a monumental album that basically changed (prog) rock forever. I don't give out 5 star ratings too often because I basically use this album as my 5 star reference point, and not too many albums can legit compare to it. Only Sgt Pepper, Ziggy Stardust, Kind of Blue, The Wall and Wish You Were Here immediately come to mind. This a truly iconic album that your really need to listen to before you die.

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth album by English rock band Pink Floyd. It is a progressive/psychedelic rock concept album that focuses on the themes of the pressures that the band faced during their career & lifestyles at the time of the end of the 60's & early 70's. These themes are conflict/struggle, greed, time, death, birth/rebirth, and insanity. This is one of the most critically acclaimed records ever, as well as best-selling, and is the band's most commercially successful. It is certified 15 times platinum in the US and was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress in 2012. I now see what all the hype about this album was for. This amazing piece of music is beautiful and timeless. It deserves to be one of the best albums on all the various album lists out there. I loved it, although I do wish it was longer, and perhaps had a few more "rockin" songs.

One of my top 5 albums of all time. This is the best case scenario for boomer music. I could talk forever about how good this album is and all of my favorite bits. I think my absolute favorite moment of this album is in Time towards the end when everything slows down and he starts to talk about being back home. The guitar at the beginning of this part is so interesting and the synth/organ parts fit the mood perfectly. An absolute masterpiece of an album that is already a staple of my rotation. Favorite tracks: Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Breathe (In the Air), Money, Brain Damage into Eclipse Least favorite track: Speak to Me

It's dark side of the moon cmon

Amazing. Classic. Anyone that's into music enough to be on this site knows what this album is about, so I feel like I don't need to explain anything about it tbh. 5 stars.

What can be said that hasn’t been said a million times before? An album that really benefits from high-quality gear. I listen to this about once a year (since I was in high school), and I make a point of listening when I upgrade sound gear. Amazing early use of analog synths in a natural way with the guitars and voices. After all this time, still love the stirring vocal on Great Gig and the sax on Money.

De heren van Pink Floyd laten even horen hoe je dat doet, een conceptalbum maken. Strakke, maar o zo evocatieve muziek die alleen in z'n eigen universum lijkt te bestaan. (Zo, ik ben lekker op dreef.) Sowieso een prestatie: muzikaal experimenteren, en dan toch een dijk van een plaat opnemen. Money, Time, The great gig in the sky, allemaal klassiekers, en ook hier is de hoes alleen al een icoon.

Wederom een van de meest iconische platenhoezen aller tijden. Maar daar is het ons niet om te doen natuurlijk, al is een mooi verhaal of een mooie hoes bij een album altijd leuk meegenomen. Maar het gaat ons om de muziek natuurlijk. En dat is classic Pink Floyd, uitermate sfeervol met de huilende gitaren en het zoetgevooisde stemgeluid van David Gilmour. Of het de allerbeste Pink Floyd is, daar valt over te twisten, maar voor mij nog altijd genoeg voor 5 sterretjes.

I think 5 stars is too little. What a brilliant album! 10/5

This is it. This is an absolutely perfect album. The album art is 10/10. The production and mixing is 10/10. The lyrics, melodies, dynamics and overall songwriting is 10/10. The only argument against The Dark Side of the Moon is that it has been played and praised to an extreme. But just how in the world did this end up being one of the biggest commercial hits ever? The lead single is in 7/4 and it's not like Pink Floyd was a household name across the globe in 1973. The songs do not have traditional structures, a large part of the album is instrumental (and not just sweet guitar stuff), and it doesn't exactly lend itself to sing-along parties. And that's exactly why I think this is a perfect record. It has broad appeal independent of the listeners musical preferences. It doesn't rely on specific hooks or gimmicks which might alienate some people. It just exists in this perfect timeless space of universal themes and perfect sound. Even for Pink Floyd, this is not standard stuff. Oh, and Alan Parsons did all of this before turning 25… Jesus.

A lot have already been said about this. So I won’t waste too much time. Everything about this record is just Pink Floyd at their best - which automatically makes The Dark Side of the Moon peak rock as well. I could listen to the four songs starting with “Us and them” and ending on “Eclipse” for the rest of the year and never grow tired of it - absolutely, astoundingly beautiful. Also, the 30 quid spent on Clare Torry might be the wisest money ever spent.

Used to love this record but haven’t heard it in years. The clock sounds always annoyed me. It really does hold up as a great record. It sounds amazing and is brilliantly engineered and mixed. The phaser on the backup vocals on time is so cool. On the run is trippy now but people must have really had their minds blown when the synths do that Doppler effect thingy. It’s a concept album but the main theme is like the Em to A type jam that happens in a few of the songs. The ability to take that kind of standard 2 chord vamp and get that kind of mileage out of it is kind of genius. The playing in the loose jammy parts is pretty tasteful and actually leaves a lot of space for the textures to come through. Some really cool slide guitar and organ stuff on this record. I like how big and full it sounds with the sax and backup singers.

So much I could say. A perfect record. Every song is a masterpiece. This was one of the first records that made me want to play music.

A top 3 Pink Floyd album

I'll start with WOW! I imagine the experience of listening to this album the year it came out must have been truly unique, in the age of hearing a track or two on the radio and then going out to purchase the vinyl. Truly an album you need to listen the whole way through to appreciate. Before this I had never listened to a full Pink Floyd album, but was a bit of an uninformed hater, thinking their music was pretentious. As I alluded to earlier, I think this album loses a bit of it’s luster in the streaming era where the majority of folks are listening to single songs at a time instead of full albums (and not for the obvious reason of each song leading into the next). I feel I was likely a victim of that when judging their music in the past. Many of the criticisms I can think of for the album are because of the way I consume music rather than the content of the album. I don’t have the time to write about everything I liked about this album, but to illustrate my enjoyment, about halfway through I had to stop everything I was doing to just sit down and listen. Front to back an absolutely enchanting experience. I look forward to checking out Pink Floyd’s other work. 9.5/10

This album is a classic for a reason. An absolute masterpiece start to finish, amazing compositions and performances by everyone involved. One of the great concept albums.

Simply a progressive rock masterpiece. I actually prefer Another Brick in the Wall for its storyline but this is easy a 5/5 album also.

It’s not an album I listen to often but it’s an undeniable 5/5!

Unbelievable album. I've been listening to this since I was a kid.

I always thought Money didn't quite fit with the rest of the album, but it is a minor quibble. As an albums it is a masterpiece. 5 stars.

Nothing to say that hasn't already been said. Pretty close to flawless.

Brilliant concept album. Sonically great. It’s true — it syncs perfectly with the Wizard of Oz if you start it when the MGM lion roars.

Just excellent all around. Pink Floyd here took what the Beatles did on Abbey Road and pushed it to the next level. There are multiple singers and songwriters but it all feels cohesive, the instrumentation is perfectly executed (loved the sax on us and them and they keys and guitar on any coloring you like), and the whole thing feels epic without going over the top. This was one of my fist close listens to this album alll the way through and it’s an easy 5.

One of the best albums out there

Spreekt voor zich.

Anyone who gives less than 5 stars deserves to be deaf. Anyone who gives less than 5 stars because Animals, or WYWH, is their favorite PF album, should be slapped. Judge it on its own merits or gtfo. That's my rock snobbery for the day. Happy holidays, everyone.

i don't think any of the teenage white guys wearing the album cover on a t-shirt really get just how fucking fantastic this album is i went to laser floyd with my family when i was like 8, because my parents are weird and took their kids to a thing they used to go to in the 70s. i remember being enraptured and a little scared. the "encore" song that they picked for our show was "brain damage." the red lasers that formed images of axes and blood flash back in my brain whenever i hear that song, and sometimes when i hear this band in general. i love it and hate it all at once. up until pretty recently, i was bored by this album. not by floyd in general, they have albums that are better than this one (shoutout animals and atom heart mother). i was bored by it, probably partially because it was so popular and i heard it a whole hell of a lot growing up, but i also don't think i really got it either. there's a lot of quiet introspection on this very loud record. there's something so understated about some of the lyrics, juxtaposed with the experimental and loud sound. so many first-time listeners are blown away by how it sounds, and less about what it's saying. there's fairly easy concepts, like the entirety of "money." a song like "time" is also not complicated but gets more and more emotional the later in life you listen. but the music isn't to be discounted either. the bass line on money is SO SO iconic, yet so so simple in its delivery. the vocal performance from clare torry on great gig in the sky never fails to make me tear up. there's so much to love musically about this album, but that's just not what it's about. this is a master work, especially for the time it came out. i am no longer bored by dark side of the moon, because i looked past the music and into the soul. david gilmour is a pretty sick guitar player tho

Great album, loved the analogue synths and the typical "Abbey Road" production sound on this album.

Didn't even need to listen to this one, but I did anyway. Personally I have more of an affinity for the Roger Waters albums/songs, but this is another all-timer and another super easy 5. A record on constant rotation when I first started listening to music (what boy didn't have a protracted classic rock phase) and no surprise that I still love it now as much as I did then. Also, Time > Money, please don't @ me. Standouts: The Whole Fuckin' Album, God Damn

In the case of the People vs Prog Rock, the defense would like to call a surprise witness to the stand. Indefatigable.

This album is just so chill and ethereal from start to finish

Our first true classic

A story: It was around springtime of my first year of high school. My girlfriend of nearly two years had broken up with me. Being only young, this was pretty devastating. Coupled with the fact that we had a shared group of friends, things were a little too awkward for me to bear. Lunchtimes I would go for a walk outside, sit in solitude, and eat my lunch in peace. Was the melting of the snow, it was actually kind of nice. My main form of escapism was music, so I divulged. My best friend in these moments quickly became Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon. The Dark Side Of The Moon was the first album to truly blow me away. It was in the details: the perfect simplicity of the album art, the seamless transitions the lead to it's excellent pacing, the layers that made up each song and sound. If there was ever an album to set the bar in my little still-forming brain, it was this one. In a lot of ways, Pink Floyd still set my expectations for what I consider a great album. Things like pacing, consistency, variation, and general production quality are all things I would consider when listening to any album. These are things that The Dark Side Of The Moon does so well in every capacity, I think I ought to owe it some more gratitude. Overrated? Not my place to say. It's just a personal favorite.

Incredible. Wish I could listen to it for the first time again

Auténtico discazo de rock conceptual, con verdaderos temas bien construidos y melódicos

If anyone gives this under 5, they were born without a soul

5/5

One of the best albums of all time. There’s more to it each time I listen. The hard values of life and what it means to understand them wrapped in an album. Pink Floyd had an ability to make songs impactful and the instrumentals match in their own way. This album is just perfectly well done. 10/10

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I needed this after many days thinking up positive things to say about albums with 2-3 good tracks and obscure World music I know I should appreciate. This is so good it makes me cry. In another 50 years this album will still be adored.

Up there as a benchmark for the best. More than a collection of songs, it's a fully realized album best heard in its entirety.

There's no point pontificating on an album that has been dissected 9 ways to Sunday. Call it whatever you want, it's an album that sets a highwater mark and can be listened to as individual tracks but the entirety, under the influence or not, is an experience everytime.

One of the best pieces of music I've listened in my life.

All time great album

when i first listened to this, i just didnt get the hype. it was good, but nothing phenomenal. and then i took a tab for the first time.

Had never listened to the whole thing in one sitting until now. The instrumentals are ethereal. The vocals are so smooth and pair extremely well with the tone of the music. I can definitely see why it is considered a classic. It's extremely difficult to pick a favorite when they all sound so heavenly. The Great Gig In The Sky made me feel like I was in space. Loved the cathedral-like instrumentals in the beginning of Us and Them. Fave track(s): Money, The Great Gig In The Sky

This is in my top 5 favorite albums. It might be the most perfect album of all time. The vocals, the variety of sounds, the timing and pace are simply amazing 👏 🙌

a must listen

One of the best albums of all time. Classic.

Awesome album

Here's another album that it feels weird to rate. I spent so much goddamn time listening to this album while stoned in my dorm room during my sophomore year of college that it's hard to go back now and try to hear this album with fresh ears so that I can properly evaluate it. I've heard it so many times that it's too familiar for me to be objective about, but I suppose that's okay. The reason why I listened to it so much is because its a great album. Everything about it works and works together. The lyrics, the music, the samples, the flow from song to song. All of the ways in which The Wall feels a bit overwrought are smoothed out here. It's examining mental illness and other dark aspects of humanity without self pity, which is the thing that makes me dislike a lot of what Roger Waters produces. This album is a full-throated examination of the agony and the ecstasy of modern life without ever stopping to ask "Why me" and I think that's why its so enduring. That and the music. Alan Parsons should have won a Nobel prize for his audio engineering on this album. It's mixed so exquisitely. It's like every single sound falls perfectly into the pocket where it belongs. 5/5

Easiest 5 stars!

Still brings tears to my eyes.

I love this. Happy to have finally listed to this

Been long time since I've listened to this but God DAMN does it hold up! Starting to realize this may have influenced my musical tastes more than I realized because everything I like about dark, moody music is present on this LP.

Pink Floyd is yet another massive band that I never really listened to outside of the most popular songs. However, I really enjoyed listening to this and pretty much every song was amazing. I can see why this is such an iconic album.

not much can be said, amazing

Did I need to listen to this again to rate it five stars? No. Did I listen to it again anyway? Yes. This album is magnificent. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown, waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Yes - it is probably music for gadgies like me. I first heard this in the 1990s, as a teenager. And I thought it would never be me. But here I am, loving the album still. The production is superb. The music is superb. The guitars are superb. The vocals are superb. Everything fits superbly. If there were a list of perfect albums, this one has to be on it, probably quite near the top. I know I'm going to sound like a massive ponce when I say this, but listening to this album on a REALLY good stereo, in a darkened room, while sipping on a glass of port is one of the most heart-bendingly beautiful experiences one can have.

Seriously? Seven 1 star ratings?

top 100 album

Great album

Outstanding

This is and always will be a classic

Yeah... Cant say anything that hasnt been said before. Pink Floyd is easily the greatest band of all time and even tho i dont think this is their best work its still one of if not the best album of all time Time might be the best song ever written and the great gig in the sky sends you to another dimension If I could id give this 10000/5 becouse it is more than perfection

Excellent album with "Time" being my favorite but of course have to include "Money". Lots of melodies with incredible vocals. 8/10.

Sometimes albums one has always been told are “great” really do live up to the hype. Pink Floyd fire on all cylinders here, delivering a cosmic suite of songs-essential listening regardless of whether it’s synced to The Wizard of Oz.

Über.

Even without the wizard of oz, it's an amazing abum.

Obviously one of my favourite albums of all time. Unmatched

Simply the best

Easily one of the best albums of all time, I love the spacey music and lyrics that penetrate as much now as they did then. The production, arrangements and singing is faultless. And it avoids self indulgence normally present on prog-rock albums.

There's not a lot that can be said about this album that hasn't already. It's the album!

Epic greatness

This should be in the top 1001 albums OF ALL TIME (1000 - 2022AD)!

The Spotify link was to an odd version, I used this one: https://open.spotify.com/album/2WT1pbYjLJciAR26yMebkH Whenever I listen to it, I try to find its faults, but always end up getting carried away on its journey. I keep meaning to experience The Dark Side Of The Rainbow, one day... 5

id never listened to pink floyd before but i get why this project is so iconic now. 10/10. banger album

Superlative masterpiece. Soundtrack to my mid-teens

C'est pas dégueu

où ecouter cela à part dans un flixbus de nuit finalement

Yet another classic. The are PF albums I enjoy more but none is more a part of musical culture than this one.

This is just a perfect album. The last couple of songs always give me goosebumps.

When I saw the album appear as my daily album I got really excited. Even though I've listened to it countless times I looked forward to listening to it again. This was probably the first vinyl album I bought. Everything is great with The Dark Side of the Moon. The production quality, the songs and the transitions between the songs. It truly is a masterpiece and definitely an album everyone should have listened to.

One of my favourite albums

Listens: 5 Enjoyed: yes This is one I've always meant to give a listen to. The album is perfectly orchastrated and has such a soothing vibe

Darky Dark and the Proggy Bunch.

A beautiful complete work of art.

Very easy 5 stars for some of PFs best work. The Great Gig In The Sky and Brain Damage are two of my longtime favorites and there really aren't any low-points on this album. The transitions between tracks are also masterful and make for a great, continuous listen.

masterpeice

What can one say about actual perfection?

Own this one cd.

I mean, it's an easy 10/10!

So so so good. Set the genre for a long time

What can I say? Issa classic

Five Stars. I hadn’t played it for a while. It still sounds like a million, and that’s probably a lot to do with Alan Parsons’ production. And these days I probably play Syd Barrett’s Floyd recordings and his solo records more than I play seventies’ Floyd. But there’s no denying the greatness of this album. It’s one for the ages. This lunatic is still on the grass.

"female orgasms..., the best sound on the planet... after pink floyd of course :)" (извините,,,,)

Classic.

Not only a classic but one of my favorite albums.

Rounding up here. I think the album is a 4.5. Amazing sounding album however the first 3 tracks aren't on the same level of perfection as the back half of the album is

Legendary. Can’t explain why but this album is just amazing. It has so many weird sounds and voices in it but it intriges me. Normally I would pick my favourite songs, in this case I can’t pick one because the album is just one big song.

Never not a good listen. One of the greatest.

One of the best albums ever. Listen to it all the time. Driving, working, reading, sitting in a dark room with headphones. I used a quadrophonic mix to test out a surround sound system. All time favourite.

A masterpiece. Always nice to relisten to this album.

Took my breath away, when this cover popped up on the screen. Teen me loved Wish You Where Here and The Wall. Since then, this has always been my PF go to. It's one of the most staggering beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. Sonically it's second to none. That they were only in their mid 20s (and this was their 8th album) makes it even more remarkable, that they could write about the stresses of life in the way that they do and in a way that still talks to people a lot older than they were when they recorded. Another amazing cover design. I love everything about this. It is the perfect album. Five stars isn't enough.

It's a behemoth, and therefore impossible to review dispassionately. David fuckin' Gilmour, folks.

I had a wonderful time listening to this classic. Really good.

Fucking insane album 10/10

I can always cry to this album. It reminds me of my brother. He would cry thinking of his lost brother.

Have always loved the flow of this album It's very cohesive

Meilleur album du band. Possiblement dans mon top 5, toutes catégories confondues. Chef d’œuvre.

Pas grand chose d'autre à dire que cet album doit effectivement être entendu et que c'est le plus grand succès du groupe. Pas mon préféré, mais tout de même un excellent album.

Undoubtedly one of the best human achievements

Known 5. Banger.

Probably one of the most thorough listening experiences I’ve heard.

What can be said that hasn't already been said. Perfect album.

Ja du behövs detta ens kommenteras?

This is the third album I’ve gotten that I have on vinyl, and boy is it a good one. DSotM is SUCH a meme, and liking it is so incredibly common, but it’s just so amazing. It sounds so fucking good, and it has one of the top 5 rock vocal performances of all time (maybe the best if it wasn’t for Merry Clayton). I first listened to this album in a painting class my freshman year of college. A lot has changed since, and this album has only gotten better with time.

The classic of all classics

No doubt one of my favourite albums ever. Changed my music taste. First listened in full in 2012

A classic album from beginning to end, full of great songs. Not much more needs to be said.

I've already listened to this one, good album

Still amazing.

Classic music that brings me back to being a teenager

5/5 Perfection

Contrary to popular opinion, there are Pink Floyd albums that don't rate five-star reviews. This is not one of them, though. This is clearly the work of a group of exceptionally talented musicians who know exactly what they want to create and how to get there. It's fantastic from start to end. Weird as hell but unassailably brilliant at the same time. This one gets to live on repeat all day.

Not much to be said about this that hasn't already been said. It's an all-time classic. I remember well being a teenager and listening to it on vinyl with my headphones on. Mesmerizing. Still holds up even after all this time. 5 stars.

Onhan tää maaginen! Meikän lemppari PF Animalsin ohella. Skidinä the Wall oli lähellä sydäntä tarinallisuutensa kanssa, mutta nää kaksi ajaa ohi nykyään tiiviimmän pakettinsa ansiosta. Hieno klassikko. Tätä on tullu kuunneltuu varmaan jo neljällä vuosikymmenellä 5/5

PF on harvoja lukioiän progefanituksen bändejä, joita enää jaksaa kuunnella. Ehkä, koska ei liian proge. Tämä ei välttämättä ole heidän paras levy, mutta mielettömän rikas ja monumentaalinen setti silti. Nykyään varmaan lähempänä 4/5, mutta 100 kertaa aikojen saatossa kuunneltuna lienee pakko antaa 5.

Ei lisättävää

What is there to say, really? This is one of the best albums ever produced. It's Pink Floyd's opus magnum, and really one big piece of music (two, if you account for the fact that the listener had to turn over the LP after The Great Gig In The Sky) that deserves to be listened to as such. Do not, DO NOT! skip around the album trying to find the obvious singles. If you don't know it, know that you ow it to yourself to listen to this album in its entirety, front to back, in one uninterrupted sitting. This album is an absolute iconic masterpiece. Really, what else is there to say? 5/5

Not my favorite album (or even my favorite Pink Floyd album), but I can't rate it anything less than five. It's just one of those albums that's perfectly executed. There isn't a single moment out of place on here.

It’s been 20 years since I last listened to DSOTM so when it popped up as the album of the day there was a sharp intake of exciting breath. I immediately wanted to give it 5/5 but held back thinking I really need to revisit it and understand what it was that made me want to give it 5/5. Right from the first track I was enveloped by the music, it’s has so many levels but can also just be listened to as something you bop your head along to. There isn’t a filler song on this album, every single song could stand on its own and they all lead into each other so well. So 20 years later looking at this album through rose coloured spectacles i realise that it isn’t as good as it was when I was listening to it in my 30’s, it’s better, and that's because I understand life and what this album it talking about so much better. 5/5, nah 10/5 yes

Excelente, já curti muito

Masterpiece

Classic

4.8 - an absolute masterpiece that has stood the test of time. So many great songs that could be listened to on their own, but the sum of their parts is so much better when played together. One of my favorite albums of all time.

A classic, one of the best albums of all time.

What can I say that hasn't already been said a million times before, there's a multitude of reasons why this album is considered legendary. Not a bad song on there in my opinion, David Gilmour's guitar playing is out of this world.

Made me realize that Radiohead is the modern Pink Floyd. Really accessible experimental music.

There's a reason why it's a classic.

I can see why this was famously turned into a laser light show. This album is like a play with a beginning middle end rising action climax and ends on a more calming peaceful note

An all time classic, and one of my favorites ever.

Five stars because I already own this and listen to it. What can you even say about an album like this?

Znači 2 klasika u 3 albuma u zadnja 3 dana. Klasik, definitivno, mada govore da je ovo najbolji album ikad, okej, pošteno, neb se ja ljutio. Međutim, ako već govorimo o Pink Floydu, definitivno imaju puno bolje (IMO) albume kojima se češće vraćam, ali to nije sad bitno. Bitno je da kažem da je ovo jeben album, odlično, dakle nešto kao Abbey Road, nije mi skroz čista petica, ali je 4.5 sigurno. Animals i Wish You Were Here su čista petica bez premca, bez pogovora.

Prvi album koji sam ja ikad osobno sobstveno ušao u trgovinu i kupio na CD-u, zbog tog fuck it, petarda. Also Money je top 2 pjesme Pink Floyda, a nije druga hehe.

You either love it or hate it. I love it and always have.

To describe this album, it's a trip, especially when you actually get to the transitions. Every track has something strong about it; from the jazz elements in "Us and Them", to the operatic vocals in "Great Gig", there is always something to be satisfied with here. It sure is a great thing that I started off here, as I for sure needed to revisit this one again.

masterpiece

Iconic, and deserving of every praise heaped upon it. What can I even say to add to the conversation? This is one of the greatest albums of all time, and it isn't even my favorite from Pink Floyd.

Tight narrative with some iconic songs throughout, and of course, The Dark Side of Oz.

i used to hate pink floyd, then in my stoner phase we did dark side of the rainbow (the wizard of oz thing) far too many times and that essentially got me to love this album. this album and wish you were here are islands in a sea of pink floyd sewage.

The Dark Side of the Moon is a mind-blowing record with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement. It is emblazoned with a certain grandeur that exceeds mere musical melodramatics and makes me want to drain my balls of all the cum.

Overrated

Hard to give a non bias review when it brings back so many memories. But truly, this is an amazing album

The production, the songwriting, the lyrics, the vibe. Perfect. No notes!

Beautiful. Strange. Haunting. A masterpiece. One of those albums that just might change your life. To me, this felt like an amazing dry run for Pink Floyd's next album, 'Wish You Were Here,' which I think is slightly better/tighter. But 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' stands on its own as one of the greatest albums ever made. God, if only other artists could experiment and toy around with sound like Pink Floyd did. One of the best albums you'll ever listen to if you give it a proper chance. What else can I say that hasn't already been said a million times? An album I'll go back to time after time.

The ambient is quite unique

Pretty much perfect. I listen to it most months and it never gets boring.

Amazing album. Very meaningful lyrics about death and time and capitalist modernity turning us all into narcissists. Second half really stands out especially Any Colour You Like.

Sometimes, when I'm listening to entire albums, I might take a break in between songs if I'm busy or need a drink or whatever other reason. This is a record where I felt like I literally could not do that. Not by law or anything like that, but just that it didn't feel right to interrupt this musical thought process. Previously, I had only heard Time and Money, so I was a little surprised by the nature of this record - more progressive rock, more experimental, more psychedelic than I expected. But everything was sonically pleasing (at least to my ears) and that production was super crisp and clear. Also, it was not entirely predictable - and I don't mean that as an insult to songs that are predictable, as that can be comforting in itself, but there is something oddly pleasant about not being able to always predict the next line in the melody. Almost like a hand stroking your back or a first sip of a good wine. Some cool choices made here and there which kept my interest. No song overstayed its welcome and it all had a nice flow. No doubt a 5/5 for me.

What else can be said about this one? It's the epitome of commercial Floyd, and yet it's first and foremost a timeless gem. Countless hi-fi systems are said to have been tested with this record during the seventies. But this album is not only great because of its sound. It's great because of the overall artistic intent, its *songs*, its pop instincts, its topical lyrics about madness, time and capitalism, not to mention its incredible (and trippy) sense of balance between experimentation and melancholic melodies. One for the ages. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: 908 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 51 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 26 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 20

Denne hører til på lista. De kunne kuttet lista til topp 10 og den hadde fortsatt vært med. Eksperimentelt, men fortsatt fengende. Aldri støyete eller rotete. Rett og slett et album av klasse.

I love an album that flows so nicely from start to finish. There's just something magestic about this album, what a beauty.

I've played it so often.I think I could name this album from any 2 random seconds play, It is a masterpiece and possibly the greatest ever in the rock canon - certainly top 5 in any informed list.

I love Pink Floyd and yet I somehow never listened to this entire album. An experience isn't it.

What a masterpiece. I have mostly heard The Wall growing up and have otherwise not really gotten into Pink Floyd. That one is one of the most bloated, indulgent albums of all time and is fantastic for it. Dark Side of the Moon while still pretty out there is pretty much stripped down compared to Wall. This is really 4-5 songs with interludes in between. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, gets to the point and leaves stronger because of it. Time the ultimate mid-life crisis song hahaha

why won't you pay that cool vocal woman
