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
One of the greatest albums ever made. From beginning to end this album is a sweeping symphonic journey exploring life, death, and madness. Pink Floyd were always keen to experiment, and this album sees them going beyond to use the studio itself as an instrument in a way that no one had before. Pink Floyd is known for their long songs that blend into each other and this is no exception. Songs are allowed to build naturally and it is clear that this album was not made for radio success, though it is still in heavy rotation on classic rock stations
i would give it 100/5 if i could
Just perfect.
Magical album. Have listened to this on numerous occasions and never get tired of it.
This is a perfect album. Even the long musical jams are unique and interesting. Listening to this again makes me wonder why I don't listen to it more.
Thought I didn't like it based on a previous listen. But it turns out it is pretty much as good as everyone says.
legendarisk psykedelisk space-rock, kæmpe lydunivers, nostalgisk, blues-vibes, velkomponeret
Really good bathtub listening. I’ve heard this one describes as like an album constructed for audiophiles/people who care a lot about precise mixing, which feels true.
For me personally, this is the best album.
True classic. One of the best albums ever recorded. Progressive rock at it's peak.
This album is a masterpiece
GOAT
Easy 5, hurray!
Well it's got to be a 5 doesn't it? But I wonder in some small way what score I would have given this had I heard if for the first time. It may still have been a 5 or more likely a 4, but I will never know.
It’s an undisputed classic and the best of Pink Floyds work for me. For a prog rock concept album, it still manages to balance out with some great songs. Brain Damage and Eclipse is a great ending, Us and Them, Time and Money are iconic and even the instrumentals carry weight.
a woork of art. And a pleasure to listen to right through after probably 20 years. 5
Duh
5 stars
I absolutely love this album. One of the first albums that really caught my attention as a teenager. It is such a fantastic listen.
This isn’t called a seminal record for nothing! Amazing!
A truly thrilling experience. Sounds like something all out of whack with time and space. Absorbing.
I only listened to half of this but mostly because I Have listened to it so many times. It's pretty perfect... But I don't love it as much as The Wall.
One of the best
A classic, and rightfully so
The crown jewel of Pink Floyd's discography and perhaps the greatest headphone album ever made. Incredible how far studio wizardry had come in such a relatively short time. I can listen to this over and over again. I find it every bit as thrilling as the first time I heard it. The fact that something as experimental and adventurous as this, is also one of the best selling albums of all time, will never cease to amaze me.
Finalmente apreciado por inteiro
10/10 even tho I listened to it on an airplane this time
10/10. I like to say that this is overrated as Pink Floyd albums, but it's still a 10
A life changing album for me. 10/10
Esperienza mistica e affascinante. Fino a Money mi pareva mancasse una canzone top. Trovata: capolavoro!
An all-time classic. Definitely, one of the best albums ever made. 5/5. I remember the first time I heard Money when it came out. It was like nothing I ever heard of before. When I got older I heard the rest of the album and it blew me away.
5.0
Este álbum desarrolla un concepto totalmente interesante que invita a reflexionar entre tema y tema. Sin dudas una obra maestra dotada de una altísima excelencia musical en todos los aspectos (composicioón, producción, instrumentos, etc).
Ameh d e så bra
Ett pangalbum faktiskt.
A classic that has stood the test of time. Wore the grooves out of this in HS but I've heard it enough thus that I don't really care if I never hear it again, but I listened to it for this exercise and still recognize it's greatness. 5 🌟
Perfection
Dark Side of the Moon Love the dreamy start to the album. Feels like On the Run kinda kills the momentum though, and the abrupt intro of Time is jarring. Maybe this is on purpose? Money still slaps kinda an abrupt end too lol
This record got me into Pink Floyd, and is the first of the three albums that I consider the best of their discography; Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and Animals. I love David Gilmour's style and tone. Lots of really great analog synth lines. The song writing is a good balance of Gilmour's and Waters' styles. An album I've listened to probably hundreds of times at this point, but still isn't played out in my mind.
Flows exceptionally well. Immaculate production and sound design for its time. "The Great Gig In The Sky" is one of the most chilling vocal performances of all time. "Money" is such a naturally grooving 7/4 song and the Gilmour's solo bangs. The rising chorus in "Us and Them" is just massive. There is a reason this has the universal acclaim that it does, and I 100% agree.
Timeless classic.
I genuinely believe this is the only record anyone needs. The themes are just as poignant today as they were in 1973. It is an actual timeless classic.
Maybe a little overhyped, but there's a reason this album gets so much praise; it's excellent. Dark Side of the Moon is not my favourite PF release, I think each of the three subsequent albums surpass it, but this was where they really transformed themselves into a great band. Money is one of the all-time best prog rock songs.
I went into this aware that this is considered one of the best albums of all time by many MANY people, but also feeling like I've never really \"got\" Pink Floyd. Like I've listened and enjoyed bits but I've never got the hype... OOF I think I get it now The atmosphere of this whole album is gorgeous, all lush and dramatic and cool. I don't have much to say other than I bloody love it
I nearly gave this a 4 as it's not quite my favourite Pink Floyd album, but all of the criticisms I had seemed so minor and nitpicky when I started typing them out It's just really damn good, not perfect in my opinion but close enough
Fav songs: - Breathe (In The Air) - Time - The Great Gig In The Sky - Us And Them - Brain Damage - Eclipse
Classic
А че незя ставить шесть
G O D
Perfection. Utter, complete, absolute perfection as music, as art, as an experience. I strongly encourage you to spend time watching Polyphonic's series of brief videos going through this album song by song. The videos are available on Nebula (worth subscribing to) and YouTube. Noah (creator and producer of Polyphonic's videos) has a wonderful gift for adding cultural and societal perspective to music and is definitely worth following. (No, I have no connection to him or his work; just love his stuff.)
Gold
Dope
Never heard of it.
Really is an incredible album.
One of the best albums ever. Timeless.
I love revisiting this classic. It's so dreamy and dense and just perfect!!
La portada, els arranjaments, les melodies, els efectes de so, els pasatges instrumentals... No hi ha res en aquest disc que no sigui perfecte
Un chef d'oeuvre. 6/5 tout simplement un album qui dépasse les époques et les styles.
Some of the best music ever made
17th January 2022 Listened to the vinyl in the early afternoon while trying to make a video for the edit. One of the all time classics, it's unique and groundbreaking.
Timeless classic!!
Already know 6
true classic that completely succeeds musically and thematically
Overrated perhaps, but hard to argue against a 5.
Another all time classic, one of my favourite albums before this, and it still is. A masterwork, best listened to as a whole, but Money and Eclipse are my favourite "movements"
This album is Money
Legendary
It’s a classic for a reason
The best
One the best albums of all time. Brain damage and time are my favorite
A 2000 lb. gorilla of an album that stayed in the charts for what, decades? And rightly so.
A masterpiece. One of the most iconic albums ever and one of the rare cases in which the most popular is also the best.
Can't get much better than this
Was gutted when it finished, played it again straight away.
Lives up to the hype. "Time" has to be the best song off the album, beautiful and haunting.
Such a classic. Love a good electric guitar, love the album, love how utterly and unabashedly weird it is. Fave track: Money. I can always get behind a weird time signature.
They very very best!
Classic, amazing
Superb
The goat
Simply the best. My favorite band! My favorite song is Time. Have listened to it hundreds of times, I'm sure.
Classic!
legendary
I mean what else can be said about this one that hasn’t been said before? It hits differently every time, but in a faintly familiar way
Psychedelic bliss
I was surprised to see that I not only got an album I've already heard before so early (day 4), but that it was also one that I have heard so many times because I love it so much. My uncle gave me a copy of this album on CD when I was in high school, and it became a main staple of the CD book in my old Honda Accord. It has also been my go-to flight album as it features a great range of calm to intense sounds that make the airplane experience fun/interesting. It is hard for me to argue that it isn't a perfect album as every track stands out and cannot be skipped (whenever I hear one song, I want to hear the entire album). If I HAD to choose my favorite tracks, I would say Time, Breathe (in the Air), and the Brain Damage/Eclipse finale (that's like half of the album right there). 5/5.
Can't go wrong with Pink Floyd tbh
Definitely a classic
Stone cold classic
Money- favourite song Nice, relaxing
One of the greatest albums of all time. Established. Moving on.
Iconic
Love this album. Atmospheric
"Breathe (In The Air)" has the classic chill, progressive/psychedelic rock, Pink Floyd Vibe to it -I do like the synth(?) riff of "On The Run" -"Time" is certainly a standout song. Definitely has a solid groove, and I how it is less-drone-like-ness than the other songs on that side of the album -In my opinion, "Money" is definitely the best song on the album, by quite a wide margin. Way more energy and groove, and the jam parts have lots more going on, more evidently and more quickly. And it gets pretty darn heavy too. -"Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" are good too -Overall very sonically interesting, even in the slower parts
Still excellent :-)
Just brilliant
Amazing, still holds up
Not really a debate. Puts you in a place not many other albums can, art is beautiful, production insane, etc. Us and Them is SO underrated and is a song I could probably listen to every day until I die. 5 stars Already Saved: Time; The Great Gig In The Sky; Us and Them Saved After Listening: Breathe (In the Air)*, Brain Damage
Saved Prior: None (been saving this one) Not Saved: 10. Speak to Me (but it's not getting skipped truzz) Off Rip: 9. Any Colour You Like 8. Eclipse 7. On the Run 6. Money 5. Time 4. Breathe (In the Air) 3. Brain Damage 2. The Great Gig in the Sky 1. Us and Them Overall Notes: Another album that makes my insistence on ranking my 5 stars look silly because it's near impossible to separate these tracks. Masterpiece. Listened sober on my computer at my desk, listened on my earbuds while walking home, listened on a jukebox drunk at a bar, listened on vinyl high while watching the Wizard of Oz. Cinema every time.
sim
5 star
Trop bien vrailent, déja écouté et j'aime toujours autant. Chansons favorites : Time, Breathe, The great Gig in the sky, Eclipse.
An all-time classic. Love it.
Best album ever?
One of the greatest
Yes.
Do I really need to write a review on how amazing this album is?
A stone walled classic in every way. a hundred stars out of five.
I don't need to explain this one lol.
Timeless. Would be a 5 just for that guitar solo on Time. A musical highlight of mankind's time on earth thus far.
One of the best albums ever recorded
One of the perfect albums.
I went home for a bit. The local junior college, the I had attended a couple classes at years before, as the theater/film department was getting axed, hosted some kind of light show event at their observatory. My mom was interested: Me, my now-wife, and my parents headed there to see it. Turns out that along with the star-viewing party was a laser show accompanying Dark Side. I had, at that point, not listened to the album. I had, as far as I know, only heard Pink Floyd ambiently. My mom was underwhelmed. And, in a cliché, I was overwhelmed. It's not quite a masterpiece, but it is very, very good. Sounded like a warm fuzzy blanket the first time and still does. I don't think that the feeling is quaint, but if it is I don't care. The music doesn't overstay its welcome, it returns to its themes and motives on time, and it contains the appropriate amount of space for its title.
A simply stunning album. Epic
An amazing album that hits it's strde straight away and never lets down. My 2nd favourite Pink Floyd album.
I would give it 6 stars if I could
Amazing album, obvious why it's a classic. Great album to listen to closely or just have in the background.
I love everything about this album, even the stuff that I would hate if it was found elsewhere. You know why there's never been a good cover of Money? Because using cash register sounds in a song is stupid as hell, and only Pink Floyd can pull it off. Best track: Time
Better than I remembered it. I knew it was a great album, but this made me realize why it’s an icon. Not a wasted moment.
A true classic. Everyone should hear it even if they are not into the band.
Classic album. Cool cover too.
hermoso, perfecto. Experiencia increíble ame ame ame
Det ska sägas att jag verkligen inte är någon Pink Floyd-connoisseur, min tidigare erfarenhet av bandet är mycket begränsad, även om de verkar i en tid och en genre som jag annars älskar. Jag har självklart hört lovorden om detta album, hur det höjs till skyarna som ett att historiens främsta, och det har såklart påverkat min första, mer grundliga lyssning av det. Egentligen var mittenspåren, Time - The Great Gig in the Sky - Money, de enda jag hade hyfsad koll på inför lyssningen. Även om dessa låtar är fantastiska, var det därför låtar i början och slutet som fick mig att haja till. Först On the Run, som en instrumentell/experimentell rymdresa genom världens största lavalampa. På B-sidan fångades jag av Us and Them, av den livsviktiga saxofonen och bandet som går igång när Gilmour tar ton i andra halvorna av varje vers. Min första lyssning blev hackig och uppdelad, dels gjord i bilen på väg till covidvaccinering, och dels under en joggingtur. Känslan som dominerade då var att albumet, om än otroligt, saknar de absoluta höjdpunkterna som skulle göra det till en 5:a. Säkerligen var jag påverkad av den enorma hypen, och kunde inte riktigt höra vad alla andra har hört. Men, jag älskar konceptalbum, och vet att konceptalbum är gjorda för att sitta ner och genomföra en fokuserad lyssning, och det var just det jag gjorde dagen efter. Jag kan omöjligt vara kunnigare än musikhistoriens samlade kritikerkår; jag var tvungen att ge det en ärlig chans. När jag sedan satt där, jag hade gjort min research, jag följde med på Genius under varje låt, jag blundade under de viktigaste solona (Time!!), fick jag en helt annan upplevelse av ~helheten~. Det är klart att jag saknade några tydliga höjdpunkter när hela albumet, hela konceptet är en enda lång höjdpunkt, ett privilegium. Samtidigt så angeläget och genomtänkt - hur albumet behandlar livet, tiden, konsumtion, psykisk ohälsa, själva existensen - och samtidigt så extremt virtuost och exceptionellt musikaliskt genomfört. Om jag inte ger The Dark Side Of The Moon fem stjärnor, hur ska jag då någonsin kunna ge något annat album fem stjärnor? Bästa låt: Jag har nyss tjatat om att helheten och konceptet är det viktiga, men då det är skitnödigt att säga "hela albumet" säger jag Time. Den är bäst.
Ja, vad ska man säga... Jag tyckte @fanten210hours sade det bra: "Om inte detta album förtjänar en 5:a, hur ska man då någonsin kunna ge ut en 5:a?". Yttersta världsklass. Albumomslaget är t.o.m. jävligt coolt också... Det är bara ett komplett album på alla sätt. Bäst: "Time"
One of the most influential albums in my musical taste. Will always love this one, and never a bad excuse to listen to it again
Always loved it, still do!
I hope I have more surprises as this continues. I just happened to have listened to this already today. Naturally one of the all time best albums, must be heard start to finish.
Pure nostalgi
Ha. As though I'm going to add anything interesting to the history of reviews of this album.
Phenomenal album. My favourite of all time.
10/10 all time classic
Don’t need to listen to it again. This album is an experience and I very much like it in it’s entirety.
amazing
Fantastic album.
This album is so good! This and Wish You Were Here were the albums that introduced me to progressive rock and I've never found a genre so interesting in my life. I love all of the songs on this album but my favourites are Money, Time, Us and Them, Breathe (In The Air) and The Great Gig In The Sky. 5/5 stars.
This is one of my all-time favorite albums, from one of my all-time favorite bands. I can't say how many times I have heard this album. I will listen to this album again. You should listen to this album with headphones on, the way it was meant to be.
I'm not sure what else you could want here, unless you take issue with concept albums or the cliche of "OMG dark side is the greatest ever." The second half of the album is right up with anything else ever, for me though.
I can't tell you how many times I've listened to this album, it's a masterpiece. Automatic 5.
Masterpiece.
Awesome, a modern classic, never goes out of vogue!
Flott album! Aldri hørt om Pink Floyd, men tror han kan ta av om et par år as. Beste sanger: Time, Great Gig In The Sky, Brain Damage / Eclipse
An incredible album. I need to get the vinyl
Tror dette var første gang jeg hørte på albumet på løpetur, og "On the Run" fikk passende nok en helt ny dimensjon når stegene mine var helt synkronisert med rytmen og synthen pulserte gjennom finstadskogen i skumringen. Ellers er det fortsatt et sykt bra album, er ikke så mye mer å si om det
Just as great on 4/21 as on 4/20.
Блять, да пускай этот альбом будет первым во всех возможных топах. Он даже на 81-м месте в топе Metal Hummer был. И там пускай будет. И вот кто хочет начать музыкальное просвещение - пущай слушают. И выкупают за эту призму с радугой. И похуй, что мне Wish You Were Here нравится, возможно, больше. Я и ему 5 ёбну и остальным, если попадутся. Ну разве что не первому, ладно, там душилово ебаное. Охуенный альбом, для своего времени вообще кровь-кишки-распидорасило, ныне не слушается старпёрским калом от слова совсем. Разнообразный, умный, мелодичный, яркий, запоминающийся, эмоциональный... внятный. Ясен хуй, что не могу уже так залипать, как лет 7 назад, когда на плеер впервые загнал. Но я спустя столько времени, собсна, ни во что залипать не могу. Да и чё это за хуйня, что если восторг настоящий - он должен тянуться всю жизнь? Не, всё, раз словил, ставится печать "10 из 10, боже мой, 10 из 10". Кроме там отдельных случаев, когда себя уличаешь в явной незрелости пиздюческой. И пускай призма с радугой остаётся "символом настоящей музыки". И пускай до сих пор дифирамбы поют. Потому что альбом охуенный. Комплексный и доступный. Альбом - феномен. А занижать за оверхайпнутость - значит опускать до просто отличных, крепких альбомов. А это вообще низость какая-то. Думаю, в этом случае даже можно привести цитату Стива Бушеми: "Опуская альбом, ты опускаешь себя...".
El principio del álbum me hace bajarle la calificación. Fuera de ello, es simplemente magnífico y aqui se encuentran otras obras cúspide de la banda.
Dark side of the moon, timeless.
This is one of the best albums of all time. It flows seamlessly from song to song, and is immaculately produced. It's hard to Beat this. Favorite Song: Time, Any Color You Want
Really experiential record to listen to. The lyrics seem timeless, as David Gilmour and Roger Waters guide you through life. From the second track "Breathe", a track that deals with birth and the lessons we teach children, to the final few tracks when the album comes full circle, as "Any Colour You Like", "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" work as a study on death. Hard to argue with an album that still sounds as sonically fresh as Dark Side of the Moon. Fav Tracks: "Breathe", "Brain Damage", "Eclipse", and "The Great Gig In the Sky" Rating 4.5/5
One of the best
One of, if not the best record of all time. Great Gig in the Sky is a little bit overrated as a single but Money & Time make up for it. Incredible album.
A proper album. Not just a collection of songs. Us & Them onwards was the 5* kicker.
Epic album. Individual songs tied together with the themes and flow between them. Musicianship, lyrics, it has it all (except On The Run which I hope David Gilmour regrets).
day 1, good start :)
I really enjoyed the opportunity to listen to this for the first time, and it won’t be the last I don’t think. Also the experiences of them experimenting with sound I liked.
never heard of it
I wish I knew how good this album was sooner.
I mean it’s Pink Floyd
Incredible
Fine album with some iconic songs that have stood the test of time.
false
Unlike "Wish You Were Here", this one has more content to listen to, and it's really good.
Another classic
always awesome in their own unique way
Exceptional album. Would listen to again and again.
iconic
Excellent the best from pink floyd
Every song is a great song. Sound effects, voice and themes.
What's the point of re-listening right now? I already know this one's a goat.
dunyanın en iyi albumu
From the transition from the intro into the second song, I was hooked. Stunned that I’ve never listened to this before. Glad that I have now.
What else can someone say that hasn’t been said?
C'mon guys...
Disco más importante de Pink Floyd.
C I N C O de maio
If not the best Pink Floyd album then definitely top 3.
A classic, always love to listen to this.
One of the most great albums ever produced. Revolutionized the whole psychedelic rock scene.
Nothing new to add here, absolutely beautiful
A classic, not much to say that you need to listen to it at least once regardless if you think you won't like it.
Perfection. Genius. Masterpiece.
This album really is an incredible work of art. The flow of the album is great, there is wonderful use of non-instrument elements (the alarm clocks are brilliant even if they startle me every time), and it is one of those albums that just feels good to listen all the way through. Favorite tracks: the only ones I would exclude from this are the ones like “Speak To Me” where they really aren’t tracks that would ever get played in their own. Thoroughly enjoy this whole album.
Frigging awesome!
You know. I probably listened to this album close to 500 times when I was in high school. It's hard to divorce those feelings from my mind. The soundscape boiling away my resentment. Transporting my addled mind to a faraway place where I can't hear what's in-between the headphones. I can't give this anything less than perfection
I mean!!!!
Are you kidding lol
Nothing really to be said that hasn't been said before. Great record, and tight. Unlike some of their others.
Lay up. Still listen to this on the reg. Still hasn't gotten old.
The best side of the moon, if you ask me.
I have massive nostalgia for this from my uni days which gets it 5 stars. I thiiiink I might still give it 5 stars even hearing it for the first time? It's just a fantastic example of prog. Songs going off in unexpected directions and blending into each other. Sound effects and samples amplifying the ambient qualities. Clare Torry's outstanding vocal performance. I love it all. Fave track - it doesn't really make sense to pick one fave track as a lot of the appeal of the album is how things flow into each other? "Speak to Me" -> "Breathe" -> "On the Run" is great. "Time" -> "The Great Gig In The Sky" is magnificent - I guess this is my fave track pick... "Brain Damage" -> "Eclipse" gives me triumphant chills every time!
Just awesome
One of my favorite albums of all time.
