The Dark Side Of The Moon

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.

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.

10/10

one of the best albums ever made. period.

All time best

Classic, highlight track - Time

The best.

An incredible album with greater relevance and musical influence than I had originally thought. More than just an iconic cover

masterpiece!

this album deserves the hype, the songs match the theme/energy of the album so well

This is dark side of the moon after all

Was actually able to pull out an LP to listen to this one. What more could be said about it at this point?

Well... yeah

10/5. 'Nuff said.

Greatest. Best of the best.

Um dos melhores albums de todos os tempos.

Top 10 all time

Fav Song: Any Colour You Like

Very cool. I can see why it's a rock classic.

nice

Culte et excellent.

I don't think there's anything I can say that hasn't been said before. An absolute masterpiece of songwriting, performance, and production.

There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said, this is one of the best albums of all time, a perfectly packaged concept album that never feels boring or dull and that was groundbreaking back then and still is almost 50 years onwards

Classic.

1 star, the song speak to me is an anthemic banger but the rest of it was ded.

I love it.

No notes needed.

Speak to me - na Breathe (in the air) - 4 On the run - 3 Time - 5 The great gig in the sky - 3 Money - 5 Us and them - 4 Any colour you like - 4 Brain damage - 5 Eclipse - 4

I always avoided Pink Floyd based on the kind of kids that were into them in the 90s. This was actually very enjoyable, if at times over-indulgent.

I’ve never consciously listened to pink Floyd . My dad wasn’t a fan and I never did enough drugs to organically find my way to them. I’ve caught a bit through being British but have not listened to an album all the way through. That said, I do dig this. Weird, complex, yet still quite listenable. Kinda reminds me of Tyler the creator in a weird way (he seems to be to rap what PF are to rock.)

Cool. The long songs merge together to make the album one big experience. Probably not an everyday listen for me, but a background listen on long work days, perhaps.

Otherworldly

Muy bueeeeno, tiene temones

Full of hits. I've got to be in a much more chill state to tolerate all the instrumental tracks. Skipped most of them on my listen today because I wasn't feeling it, but they're not bad.

Heard before?:✔️ Will listen again?:✔️

Decent listen

you know I listened to this a few times in middle and high school, did the wizard of Oz thing etc etc and never really loved it. but it's quite an easy listen and I honestly found it much more enjoyable than expected. of course it's a classic but I wasn't sure how much of that was boomer nostalgia and hype vs how much was merited

Bom, mas a versão do Lanari, The Xote Side of the Moon, é tipo incrivelmente melhor. Provavelmente eu acho isso porque eu sou brasileira e o xote é um gênero extremamente brasileiro, logo, patriotismo.

People have written better songs than The Dark Side of the Moon, but no one has created a recording that *sounds* better or more expensive

Another classic, classic album

A space journey with earthly baggage.

Is it a masterpiece? Undeniably. Is it a pivotal moment for music production? Absolutely. Is it good? Of course. Is it perfect? No, not quite. This album is so good at its core, but the overproduction in some places, while it keeps you hooked, makes it hard to give this a 5.

(Decent 8/10) A pretty good album, it's got a great flow and provides a satisfying holistic listen. It is a tad overrated to me, but I honestly get why it gets the praise it does.

Not sure it lived up to the expectations but nonetheless still good. 4/5

Een plaat die objectief goed klinkt, maar mij nergens echt weet te verrassen of te pakken

it's a good album sir they have better ones though

this is what the void sounds like to me. space and time exhibition in its finest form favorite song: time

4/7

yeah pink floyd are a good band

chunky and epic. feels longer than it is. maybe if i was blitzed it'd feel like i was seeing across the universe; as it is it's just great. Time through to Money is a terrific bit of music. solid 4

Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list 5/5

I simultaneously think this is an excellent record and this band is overloved.

Already listened.

A really good classic rock album. I know of the band and heard of the album (but mostly seen the album art) but never listened to it myself until today. Its a lot softer and slower than I was expecting. Having a live B-side is something I always enjoy as well. No songs stood out to me they were all good and easy to listen to and I think I will have to listen through again to see if there are any that I want to keep coming back for.

Класика, але не мій улюблений альбом ПФ, тому поставлю 4.

This is your sign to drop acid and sync this album up to Paul Blart Mall Cop 2

Great highs (money, time). Suffers from being too popular, doesn't sound unique. Doesn't push the boat too much, they were capable of so much more. Its a fun album, a little boring some times and a bit annoying at points.

8 из 10

Not much wrong with this classic album, although I prefer to listen to Animals.

The Wall was a bad introduction to Pink Floyd for me, this was a far better one. Lush production and very pleasant to listen to, but there is still something missing here to push it to a 5 for me

some parts are really epic and majestic

album #86 a sick as fuck album cover for a cool album. stands the test of time. ꩜ average track rating: 3.2/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): the great gig in the sky, time ꩜ least favourite track(s): speak to me ꩜ album rating: ★★★⯪☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,003 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 41 (+1 The Dark Side of the Moon) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 17 (+1 The Dark Side of the Moon) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 69

I thought I knew this album. Turns out I only knew its reputation. Listening late at night, on headphones, it is a whole other experience. It is still groundbreaking and earth-shattering 60 years on? Perhaps not - this is well-worn territory now, and so many bands have built on DSOTM and taken it in different directions. But gee whiz you can absolutely see why it blew everyone's mind in 1973.

yeah, its pretty good. In my current context it doesn't particularly speak to me on any emotional level. That being said, the musicianship is at peak performance and I am made into happy lil fella anytime the piano on this album shows up, it's utterly beautiful. "Money" is such a fucking funny song because it is fantastic single, but whenever it comes on during this album I am completely taken out of the vibe. But honestly, it probably is a necessary break from the ambience of this album so the first and second half don't blend together too much. Iconic riff though. This is a great album, but also the least I've had to say about an album so far. 4/5 This shit probably went fucking crazy in the 70s

I know this album is massive and loved by all, but I don’t know if I can get through this. I am listening. I’m surprised him many songs I’ve heard but didn’t know the name of. I saw Pink Floyd live in the 90s. I’ve seen PinkFloyd laser shows. I just never have a desire to listen to a Pink Floyd album. The music is really phenomenal on this album. No matter how I feel about Pink Floyd, I will always enjoy “Money”. What a great bass line and swing. I have honesty thought for years that “brain damage” was called “dark side of the moon”😂

Already heard, very good

. .

I've of course heard of this album and heard Money many times, but never listened to the whole thing. This was a jam! It felt timeless and I really enjoyed it.

This album is kind of timeless to me. It just exists on its own, always has and always will. It's almost like it's not good or bad, it just is. It is Dark Side of the Moon, and I don't necessarily "love it", but I definitely do keep coming back to it. Maybe simply because it's such an undeniable force in the history of music that is relevant to our generation.

The legacy of some art is as much a millstone as a pedestal. Dark Side of the Moon has sold a zillion copies and is THE iconic album from one of the titans of 20th century rock. I heard *about* this album for years before I actually *heard* it. In most cases that kind of buildup skews expectations, but by the time I finally listened to Dark Side, I already knew Pink Floyd wasn't my thing. Later, under the influence of shrooms at age 19, I felt like I finally understood it. I am a cliché. These days I appreciate that it's an artistic triumph, finely crafted and executed, yada yada...but probably not something I'd revisit on my own. I liked it fine, which is practically an endorsement considering my history.

wtf cette toune la vient de ce gars la

Well produced album. Classic guitar driven album. Worth the hype,

I felt like I was transitioning into each song. It just made sense

I've attempted to listen to this album multiple times. Earliest would have been in the early 2000s when I was a teenager. I didn't understand the hype and I think listening to this before my 20s did it a disservice. I remember finding it strange and the coin sounds in Money were corny. I knew nothing of the history of music production so just expected something that would be life changing based on the hype. I tried multiple times since then and also found it a let down. I'm older now and I think the album has definitely grown on me. I appreciate the flow of the album and how well produced it is but you need to go in with 1973 ears and even then I still think it's been overhyped. It's a great album. It is not the greatest album of all time. 4/5.

Me gustó, nunca lo había escuchado

This was a really interesting album. I don't think there will ever be anything in their discography that makes me a huge 'fan' of them or makes me listen to their music in large quantities, but this is something that I would be happy to listen to if someone put it on. I feel crazy for saying this, but I kind of expected more. Pictures of this album are plastered EVERYWHERE, and whenever anyone mentions great albums or the best albums of all time, this one always seems to make the list. But if I were to compare this to another album that has the same sort of commercial coverage, like 'Thriller', I would have to say that this album appears slightly disappointing to me. Yes, I enjoyed the tracks, but there weren't many special moments for me. There were one or two moments of 'oh wow, that was really lovely', but not enough for me to regard this as highly as many people think I probably should do. I can understand why people enjoy this, and why it is influential of its time period, but I think that maybe compared to some of their other stuff, it just isn't doing it for me. But nonetheless, I thought a lot of this was interesting, and I absolutely loved the vocals, especially in 'The Great Gig in the Sky'. A highlight of most Pink Floyd music I have listened to has to be the instrumental section. This alone is amazing, and I would have probably been happier with a Pink Floyd instrumental album. For example, yes, the cinematic synth sounds are gorgeous, but I love how beautiful the introduction of the saxophone is in 'Us and Them'. I feel if it wasn't for the beauty of the instrumentation, this would probably get less than 4 stars from me. Favourite lyric: 'Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it... You've gotta go sometime.' ('The Great Gig in the Sky') Favourites (in order): Us and Them Breathe (In the Air) The Great Gig in the Sky Money

Chill and cool

love when you know an album is meant to be listened from the beginning to the end just the way it is. still i get why its a classic!

One rule I made up for myself is regardless of whether or not I was familiar with an album I would still listen to it all the way through when assigned. I was regretting my rule with this album because I had simply just heard it so many times and wasn't really in the mood for listening to it. It comes with baggage of a bunch of extraneous life experience. The album cover is probably one of the most iconic images associated with music. That was my default hooded sweatshirt I wore freshmen year in highschool. This was decades after the album came out and I wasn't really a super fan. In the teenage process of assembling some form of identity I landed on 'I like music' and this was one of those albums that was supposed to blow your mind. I checked out The Wall movie from my library and had the blacklight poster of the walking hammers. Now over 25 years later in my 2026 mindset it's the 'mind expanding' soundtrack for the most closed minded people I know. That's not a generalized dig at fans, just in my life experience. Trying to set the stage that I was hostile to listening to the album and it still was pretty good. The recording quality is fantastic. I don't have the patience for all of the concept album components but damn if they didn't make a great song to remind you of time slipping past you. That one ages fantastically while I do the opposite. I think it's definitely an album to listen to before you die. I'm not going to stand by every track on here individually but this list is albums.

Eclipse - 9/10 | that loop back was perfect Notes: i can see why this is one of the most worldwide recognized albums, it has a lot of creative choices i didn't really think about first because as this is my first listen of the album i don't have the full picture of it all. i found it interesting how nearly half of the record is instrumental, i loved the transitions from song to song, this was a very interesting album listen. truly recommend 85/100.

I don't get Pink Floyd, but I do appreciate this album. ★★★★

Crazy first pull Took me way too long to realize that my speakers aren't quiet, and "Speak to Me" just starts really quietly "Breathe (In the Air)" is nostalgic for me. My mom likes to play it a lot. I'm now realizing I haven't properly listened through this album ever though, because that transition into - - "On the Run" is really clean. Love that. Kinda feeling cyberpunky with this one. Not really a song I'd add to a playlist, but cool as a transition/interlude. "Time" is another song that's nostalgic for me. Really pretty, something wistful about it. Love the choir in it too, makes it a lot grander than I think it would have been otherwise. Side note, I'm writing this while sitting at my computer. I'm sure this would hit way harder if I was on a road trip on a long summer day after some mildly life-changing event. Alas, it's only slightly warm outside and I have things to work on at home. "The Great Gig in the Sky" hnnnnggggg unnnhhhhh yesss mmmmhmmmm yummmmm. "Money" is fun. Just feels like good rock honestly. Maahhnaaaiiiiyayyyyyy. Ohhh I reallyyyy like "Us and Them". I haven't heard this one before, but the soft trumpet leading in is so pretty. This space between psychedelic, rock, and (very light) jazz is exactly the kind of- OHHHH WOAAHHH WOAAAHH IM ASCENDING WAAAAAAHHHH. If I heard that live I probably would start sobbing. "Any Colour You Like" is vibey... but for some reason it just feels like a watered down version of "Us and Them". As an ending track I'd probably like it a lot more, but we have two more tracks to go. "Brain Damage" drops the album name lets gooo. I enjoy this one a lot for a reason I can't place a finger on, especially leading into- -"Eclipse". This second half of the album I was far less familiar with, but I'm so impressed. It's hit after hit. Honestly, everything after "Money" feels like its own entity. I wish the rest of the album resonated in that way for me. This album is a 4/5 for me. I think it's objectively really good, and I would be happy to hear it played somewhere. I understand completely why it's considered a classic and the best album of all time for many people. I probably just wouldn't reach for it unless I'm in a super specific mood. Maybe I lack taste. That being said, there are definitely songs on here that are a 5/5 for me, like "Breathe", "Us and Them", and "Great Gig". Two of them aren't new to me though, so maybe I'm biased. I'll probably give the album another listen when I'm in a different mood, it might grow on me more. A final note, this album has been inciting existential dread in me this whole time. No idea what that's about.

Have not listened to this in full in close to 40 years. It's not something I think I'll ever really listen to regularly again, but is undeniably a great listen once in a while.. There's a reason this is an album EVERYONE already knows. Totally forgot about the sexy sax on Us and Them.

Probably one of the top 3 most essential albums of all time. Has great run from start to finish and manages to keep your attention until the very end. 8/10

Pink Floyd is truly one of those bands that people really love or really hate, I've discovered lately. Personally, I enjoyed this album. This was the first album I ever listened to from Pink Floyd growing up (they were much earlier than me in existence). I enjoy their experimentation and their prog elements. I like that they weren't doing the same thing as contemporary acts, and Money was the first song on bass I learned, so this one is personal. That said, I'm trying to give this a listen as if I wasn't familiar with it. I'm not Pink Floyd's biggest fan nor their biggest hater. I enjoyed this sonic journey back in time.

Before this project began, I listened to Dark Side of the Moon on headphones for the first time. Perhaps absorbing it “the right way” made the album’s sonic wonders and creativity stand out more in the past. The session gave me a greater appreciation for Floyd’s musicality. Like its fellow 1973 Innervisions, Dark Side of the Moon’s inventiveness,while being a massive success, is stunning. For an album filled with ominous keyboards, dispirited vocals and pained existential void lyrics to be one of the biggest selling records seems unfathomable. Each member of the group contributes to the startling soundscape, with Nick Mason’s drums and other percussion particularly standing out on these recent listens. Mason delivers the proverbial master class in how to not overplay, but still stand out. While only “Money” has hit single top qualities, other songs provide memorable moments that account for its success. The breathy vocals on “Us and Them”, the clocks on “Time” and the wordless gospel singing throughout “Great Gig in the Sky” all lodged into my brain. Pink Floyd’s slow churn and grim view of the world, with its industrial meets space sound is not typical rock and roll. I need something with more of a human touch to place it in my personal pantheon, but I can fully understand anyone who lauds it as one of the great records of any era.

An excellent overal album and the reason Pink Floyd went on to become of one the most overrated bands. Great Gig in the Sky is among the top vocal performances in rock history.

Puedo entender por qué todo el mundo habla de este álbum. Está muy bien y tiene mucha cohesión. No es algo que escucharía en bucle, pero wow.

It deserves the hype, but it's not perfect. Some songs (in my opinion, On The Run), don't really serve a huge purpose and are just there for run time. I think Money is a bit overdone, but it's fun the first time you listen to it. Will revisit for sure, but it's mainly just a me thing that I'm not as ecstatic as everyone else about this album.

this album was probably the first album to have cha ching sounds. so thats important. but, jokes aside, its a great album and its experimental and satisfying. i get why people lost their minds about it.

Way better than "Wish You Were Here!" Atmospheric and enjoyable at least.

It's Dark Side of the Moon for sure. I mean it's good.

Time The Great Gig in the Sky Us And Them Eclipse эти треки мне больше всего понравились в целом альбом хороший, разнообразный, но не все мне прям полностью зашло

discazo pero overrated. ni en pedo es el mejor disco de la historia(ni top 100), ni tampoco es el mejor de pink floyd

להגיד את האמת ברגע זה בחיים שלי אחרי ששמעתי את האלבום, אני טיפה מאוכזב. שמעתי מהרבה אנשים שמדובר ביצירת המופת של פינק פלויד ואני לא יכול שלא לחשוב לעצמי שרוב האלבום מרגיש כמין גשרים שנבנים לרעיונות היותר טובים ומרכזיים אבל פחותים בתוכו. עם זאת, סיכוי רב שאשנה את דעתי מכיוון שלמרות האכזבה שלי כן מדובר פה ביצירת אומנות מצוינת אשר מכילה בתוכי בלי שום ספק תוכן פילוסופי רב על עצם החיים והמוות וחד משמעית תידרש שמיעה נוספת גם של שירים בדים באלבום וגם של האלבום כולו בכדיי לעכל אותו ולהכיל את רעיונותיו כמו שצריך. אני מקווה שעם הזמן אוכל להבין את ההייפ המסיבי .שסובב סביב האלבום הזה

Very cool

I have this record.

me gustó pero definitivo no es mi fav de pink floyd, tiene temas muy buenos pero se pierde un poco y no es como tan recordable por decirlo así, pues no se me hizo tan interesante como otros álbumes. igual muy bueno

Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? I know some songs. I am very familiar with the cover and the overall reputation of this album. How do I feel about this artist? I like Pink Floyd when the mood is right. Pre-Listen Thoughts: I like Pink Floyd, but this will be my first time hearing this start to finish and I’m excited Favorite track(s): Brain Damage Post-Listen Thoughts: Solid, you can see why it’s a classic. Consistent tone, never drags, the perfect length.

Overrated, but still pretty good. Basically the same song for 40 minutes, but what a song.

If this album was truly Time-less, it would be one song shorter than it is.

It was ok

great album. transcendental FAVS: us and them, the great gig in the sky, breathe (in the air)

The style dragged on for me a bit toward the end but not enough to truly penalize the rating. Time is so great. 4/5

Yeah, I heard this earlier today. Still great!

Tuff

Money” is a great—downright essential—song. I can’t say the rest of the album is *quite* to that level. Back in the day, Christgau said Dark Side was a “kitsch masterpiece.” I wish I could hear a little more masterpiece and a little less kitsch. This is currently the third(!) highest-rated album on this project. Respectfully, no. This is not one of the two or three albums that will still be enjoyed 200 years from now. The lyrics aren’t . . . profound. And the sound is more overproduced than anything else. I yearn for a little more edge, anyway, in both the vocals and the music. 4.5?

It was good it's the first time I heard Pink Floyd. My friend Noel talked about Floyd a lot now I understand why. This is the first time i heard an album where every song is connected and it felt like a big song broken into subsongs.

A timeless rock classic - but it’s the first time I’ve listened to it all through from start to finish 🙃

Haven’t listened to this since Middle School. It is still very good.

personal rating: 7/10

So we all know this one, right. It's really good. Accessible by their standards at the time. It doesn't sell as many copies as it does for nothing. The cover might have helped it out as it's about as iconic as album covers get and it does look alluring. The best song is great gig in the sky. It's a bastard to sing along to right enough.

Lots of thoughts about album listening and music with “empty space” vs today’s pop artists gravitating towards shorter, catchier songs meant to be listened to individually. I’d forgotten how much I used to listen to Pink Floyd with my dad

I had a really good nap on the sofa while the album played. I fell asleep after a few songs and woke up to the opening notes of 'Money', which is definitely a highlight of the album. It's a cool concept and one of the most recognisable album covers. If there were a few more memorable songs, it would have been a five.

I'll start by saying that, even at my most Pink Floyd obsessed phase, I've never being the biggest fan of this record, so I was curious to see if my opinion changed after not having listened the album after so many years. Spoilers: it did, but not to the point where I would personally consider it to be a masterpiece. The record properly starts with the song "Breathe (In the Air)" after the intro "Speak to Me", which is basically a collage of different sounds taken from all the songs in the album. "Breathe (In the Air)" constitutes a very strong start, as the song is a very beautiful piece that feels incredibly sincere with its sad tone, not only thanks to the melancholic sound brought by the serene synths and guitars, but also thanks to the introspective lyrics. The only thing that bothers me about the song is how short it actually is and how sudden it ends. Wish it had... more room to breath (pun intended). Then follows "On the Run", probably the weakest track of the whole album. It may sound very experimental and psychedelic, as it is basically only composed of a very texture synth over a minimal rhythm pattern, but I don't think it is intriguing or goes anywhere. To me it feels like unneeded filler. But next is one of the greatest hits of the record, "Time". I really liked the use of clocks ticking and alarms sounding in the introduction of the song. It is super fitting with the theme and title of the track. After the clocks section, the song is basically a really solid song with some nice and sad melodies, great attitude in the singing and lyrics reflecting the pass of time. In addition, I loved how the bring back the melodies of "Breathe (In the Air)" and integrated it in the last section of the track. Following is "The Great Gig in the Sky", a beautiful and relaxing song that starts with some nice synths and piano and then incorporates a female vocalist who gives an incredibly passionate performance. I have to say that, as good as the song may sound, I'm not that crazy about it. It is great, but I don't find it as grandiose as it wants to be. Next song is also another banger, "Money". I love the incredibly groovy bass line and how they incorporate the sound of cash register and coins into the song and create a rhythm with them. It also may be one of the most fun and positive sounding tracks of the whole record, specially in the bridge when they speed up and turn the volume up for the guitar solo. A very fun and catchy song, that is for sure. However, "Us and Them" comes back to the mellow side of the record, and probably in the most powerful form. The verses are incredibly soothing and pleasant while the choruses go for a very grandiose and elevating sound with the group singing in harmony, the incorporation of another layer of female voices and every instrument getting louder. In one of these big choruses, instead of singing they bring a saxophone solo that sounds very epic. Then comes "Any Colour You Like", another instrumental passage that feels like an improvisation between guitars and synths. It may not be the brightest point of the album and not as ambitious as other cuts, yet I think is nice. Finally, the album finishes with the pair of songs "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse", which are so well connected that they feel like an unique piece. "Brain Damage" have a very similar structure to "Us and Them", as it has soothing verses and big choruses, but with a more positive sound and not as grandiose as the previous track. On the contrary, "Eclipse" brings a great and big final moment. The voices are filled with energy, the female choir is also very powerful and the instruments are full of life as well. In the end, this is a great album and undoubtedly a classic. As I said at the beginning, I do enjoy it more than I initially did and I have a better understanding and appreciation towards it, yet, it is not one of my favourites from them, as there are moments that I'm not really crazy about, even though I still think they are good.

Хоть это и классика мне не особо зашло, я не люблю эти все психоделические эффекты в начале песни, мне прям плохо от них, песни без них мне очень нравятся

Undeniably an important album, but like all Pink Floyd albums we've had, the proggiest of prog parts keep it from perfection.

Made me feel sad, somehow. I enjoyed the songs but the whole album had a melancholy feel.

Pink Floyd classic theatrical music

Iconic cover art. Even though the songs are too slow for my taste, it's absolutely an album worth hearing before I die.

vou emoldurar um quadro desse aqui quando passar dos 40+ e botar na minha sala. é uma tradição que não podemos deixar morrer. dito isso, eh a primeira vez que escuto esse aqui inteiro. pink floyd nunca foi mto minha pira. mas esse album eh realmente muito bom? um progzinho mais lento, mas não cansativo. só pedrada atrás de pedrada. vou escutar mais vezes, fiquei até interessado em fragar outros albuns. é bem decente mesmo. que doideira.

I don't have any particular connection to it so it doesn't land for me in the same way it seems to for so many others but it's certainly enjoyable. One of the better prog albums for sure

Didn't actually listen to this because I've already heard it a bunch, but yeah, pretty good it turns out.

Iconic for a reason, the transitions between songs are so satisfying.

It brought me back to a place I forgot.

A calming and also unsettling listen, music that will lull you into a peaceful place then wake you up to some unique sounds that almost make you uncomfortable. It’s a classic for a reason , with a brilliant sound to it. I can see why this is such a beloved album. Great for all occasions.

Last few songs were very good

I'm supposed to get high and listen to THIS while I watch the Wizard of Oz? Crazy

Magico

Tremendo discos para escuchar "relajado". Eran ciertos los rumores de años y años.

Une bonne redécouverte, The Great Gig in the Sky est une de mes chansons préférées mais ya trop de "blancs" dans l'album pour que je donne un 5

i really have to be around it a lot to really like it

Lite å si som ikke har blitt sagt en million ganger før. Dette er bra saker.

Der va den. Veldig bra album, men også verdens mest oppskrytte. Ikke på min topp tre fra PK.

Hørt hjemme i senga en kveld. Faen så bra dette er.

Variert og dypt, både musikalsk og lyrisk. Mye å legge merke til og oppdage underveis. Gleder meg til å høre det igjen om x antall år.

Jeg har aldrig været stor fan af Pink Floyd, men kvaliteten og betydningen må respekteres. Jeg vil ikke være på tværs og kalde det over-hyped, ellers var det blevet en 3'er

Et masterpiece, no doubt. Personligt rører det mig ikke, men den musikhistoriske betydning kan ikke overdrives.

Timeless

Troede jeg var mere Pink, men det er Floydende ligegyldigt, det er stadig fedt - men der mangler lige lidt på den mørke side af månen før de får en 5'er

This record has some of my favorite Pink Floyd songs in Breath, Time, Any Colour You Like, and Brain Damage. Also discovered Us and Them. But this record also has some moments that get too into the psychedelic side of things and just get annoying. Specifically in On the Run and Great Gig in the Sky. Resulting in 4 stars

What is there to say? It's iconic. It rocks. Not a single song is on my liked songs playlist.

I know its a classic, but all the sound effects make it feel a bit dated. i had to skip Great Gig in The Sky. When you get into the songs theyre great. 4.5

nice

It's a great album, brought down by being beaten to death by radio stations. Give me everything Pink Floyd - pre-80s and excluding The Wall and Dark Side and I'm a happy guy.

There are lots of things i can include from this album such as death, Happiness, living your life etc. The transition makes it so much better, it feels as if the vibes change significantly throughout the album. I can really feel the complexity from it, like It deserves so much attention because that's what makes this album a magnum opus. People need to see the resemblance from it. Not to mention that this album was on billboard top for 14 years. Now that is undoubtly impressive. Following the era where music has gradually changing overtime, but no such record can even surpass the peak of this work.

what a great listen. this is in the top 5 of albums you have to listen to straight through as a whole to get the full effect. ethereal

I honestly quite like it, but I don't think any of the songs are going on my playlist so I can't give it a personal 5/5. That said I could totally see that changing in the future. 4/5.

I get the hype now. I'm not a really big fan of the experimental tracks but the record has some of the best songs from the band.

It's famous I guess.

Æ vet ikke ka æ va forberedt på, med et sånt album som æ aldri har hørt på men bestandig har hørt om, men det va ikke egentlig det æ fikk, og det æ fikk va jo ikke så verst. Overraskanes ok? Ganske greit. Kommer ikke til å si nokka på det om noen andre en dag vil sette det på, spørs om æ huske å høre på det på egen hånd igjen.

I feel like I should be liking it more than I do, but it’s still a pretty good album

i’m not a big prog rock guy, but yeah ok, this is one you should hear before you die.

It sounds nice, but its definitely not my favorite album. I don't have much to say about it.

This album is very good. Although it's a 2011 remaster, I imagine the production was out of this world when it came out as well. All of the repeating samples and themes and the way the songs flow together make this a great full-album listening experience. In the way that Songs like "On the Run" actually evoke the image of someone running, I think this album does a fantastic job of using sound as a storytelling device. For that reason, I would like to listen to it again and learn more of the lyrics and track names to try and paint a more vivid image of the album's story. There's something about the use of sense and production tricks during this time. Period that I really like. Like we've said, there was a ton of creativity and excitement surrounding the emergence of new music technology. If I were to nitpick, I might say that they were a little too artsy with this album and the actual musical content doesn't have too much variety, but it is still executed on a very high level. The Way songs blend together could be interpreted as a strength or a weakness. I found myself more able to appreciate the long songs when I adopted the mindset that the whole album was one long song. Very good

Great gig

A Pink Floyd album I don't actually hate! Less self-indulgent, more immediate, not a bad thing to put on at work while you contemplate the infinite.

Amazing

Good shi om bij weg te dromen

Pretty vibey

didn't listen to all of it

I decided to really listen to every album and rate it no matter reputation or sales numbers. This was a hard one to stand by that promise, but there are a few moments on this album that didn't blow me away like all the 5* albums on my list did. I feel bad for doing this :D

Another great Monday pull! Another classic to end all classics and my 3rd Floyd album in this experience. It takes a bit to get going with the first three tracks but once it gets going it contains some essential classic and prog rock tracks. I wasn't wowed by it, but it was enjoyable nonetheless Is it better than "Wish You Were Here?" No. Is it better than "The Wall?" Yes. As such I'm giving it a 3.5 and rounding it up to a 4/5 for the sake of this experience

I actually don't think I've listened to any of these? The way the songs bleed into each other is super fun. Idk this isn't my usual music style but it's a vibe. Time is the first that feels like a song I would listen to- I feel like I got more into the album starting from there. Giving this one a 7/10. Not something I would normally listen to but I liked it and I appreciate the craft. Big fan of Brain Damage into Eclipse. The last four as a group of songs was super cool.

Always thing of the Wizard of Oz synch fun fact, it's a transformative album. Favourite tracks: Great Gig in the Sky , Us and Them

LOVE

It’s cool

money was pretty good

The most album album that ever albumed. I'm giving it 9/10 because that's how many perfect songs are on it, and I'm not elaborating on which one I think is not so good. Actually I will say, Brain Damage/Eclipse is the best ending to an album in history, it's such a fantastic climax that ties the whole concept together. Sticking the landing is the hardest part of any concept album and only a few have ever gotten it right. Not to mention that random doorman they interviewed who gives the album all of its best spoken word lines.

-La maldita voz que tiene!! -Me gusta el encapsulamiento del disco a través del uso de interpolaciones o samples de canciones anteriores del álbum -qué groovy es Us and Them! prob mi fav Money lwk es de las mejores canciones del álbum -Any Colour you like es ambigua en sentimiento? -Eclipse es un cierre muuy sobrio para lo que me esperaba por lo construido en el álbum, pero supongo que justo el interior es lo sustancial *Si esto no tiene sentido, lo tendrá un día en el que investigue más el trasfondo de la banda y de las canciones. Por hoy, el status de "Los Mejores Discos jamás hechos" no es dado al desturk

I was SO excited for this one. Every song has such an ethereal vibe, beautiful vocal harmonies. Groovy basslines too !! Fav song is ‘Time’.
