The Dark Side Of The Moon

Väldigt tematiskt. Ikoniskt omslag. Känns som man svävar runt. Otroligt mysigt overall. Time är bästa låten

this album has grown on me over time. still i think my third favorite pink floyd album, but a 5 star for sure. pink floyd is a band i cannot review without nostalgia goggles.

Just superb

A classic.

Always beautiful and inspiring

Not exactly my jam, but certainly a great album. A little spooky and crazy - that is the charm. Nobody does this kind of music anymore.

One of those albums that is “overplayed”-proof. Wish Us and Them and Brain Damage were as ubiquitous as Money and Time

Not up to the hype

Cosmic dad album

Gay Triangle is always a welcome listen

Album #3 Not much new I can say about this one. But easy to see why it’s one of the most influential albums of all time. Sound design is absolutely impeccable and it sounds modern to this day. Damn near perfect album and it was fun to revisit.

Een kunstwerk! Het geheel van deze plaat is zo goed opgebouwd.

I’m a simple man. If every song on an album is great, it gets a 5.

Yeah come on

This is unrecognizable one of the great albums of music history. I can give dozens of reasons why this is amazing, from songwriting, production, lyrics, clever buildup of songs, use of 7/4 time signature in Money changing to a 4/4, the centralising of themes. And more. And still. This album has never grabbed me as much as Wish You Were Here or Animals did. And for years I've tried to figure that out. Objectively amazing, personally not one of my favourites.

Influential but funky sounding for casual listening. Demands listeners attention.

First time listening to this album in full. Decent, might listen again

Listened to this at a listening party at midway sf with Tomas. Realized many of these songs have one chord progression throughout and that money is a 12 bar blues. Really nice listening experience

Possibly my favourite album of all time!

iconic

It's a classic of course

Proper devil music, classic

5/5. Not much can be said about this album that hasn't already been said.

The Great Gig in the sky sau gut sonst in ordnung

Absolut skräp. Om du vill lyssna på edgy, fylligare texter med svordomar över ett skräpslag så är det här albumet för dig. Tyvärr för folk med smak är det här albumet som att äta en använd strumpa doppad i lera. Verkligen en av de värsta 42 minuterna jag har suttit igenom. Allvarligt. Vad. Och jag kan inte nog betona detta. De. Knulla? any colour you like

Obviously a classic. Although it took me a while to get into at first. Other Pink Floyd albums like The Wall, I loved instantly. But Dark Side took me a few listens to really appreciate. Now I understand how good it really is, but still I don’t think it’s quite a 10/10. 9/10 Top 5: 1. Time 2. Brain Damage 3. Breathe (In the Air) 4. Eclipse 5. Money

One of the best Albums ever.

It’s Dark Side of The FUCKING Moon, everybody and their mother knows this album. As soon as it popped up, I knew it was gonna be a 5. I was right. It’s so amazing, every detail. There’s nothing new left to add.

it's fine. the Dark Side of Oz is kinda cool to watch I guess. I like the verse in Time. When I was a teen I quite liked the wailing vocal in Great Gig in the Sky. there's lots of better stuff out there. popular culture: hated. (⌐■_■)

This album cover looks familiar have I seen it somewhere before

Gotta love a bit of the Floyd. Their albums are always like an aural journey and this is possibly their finest. As a slight music geek Money always has a special place in my heart for the rare use of the 7/4 time signature which works so well to provide an ebb and flow to the intensity. Lovely stuff

There's nothing I could say that hasn't been said already. A masterpiece, an all timer that was on the charts for 988 weeks.

I don't really get the appeal of it. It's a good Prog Rock/Psych Rock album, but I can't in confidence say that it's one of the greatest albums of all time. I may need to listen to it a few times more. 4/5. Favorite Track: Money

A classic. This was my go-to album for getting stoned for a long time.

I liked all the crazy sounds.

For over fifty years it has consistently, been considered, quite possibly, the greatest album of all time by generation on generation. It never outstays its welcome. Musically interesting and varied enough. Lyrically we are all fascinated with madness to a degree. An example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Brilliant and, quite possibly, perfect.

It's a classic

whats there to say really? its a classic. wonderful notes of jazz and psychedelic

one of the best albums ever

One of the best albums of all time.

All time classic.

Oldie but a goodie

Vad man väntade sig

Money is a great track. I really like the bluesy jam stuff on here but the random sound collage/clock stuff is not really very compelling

Ni siquiera es necesario escucharlo para saber que es uno de los mejores álbumes de la historia de la música.

Pink Floyd was never my cup of tea. I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I gave it a shot and listen to the entire album, too psychedelic. Maybe if I was high, I would appreciate it more.

This is my all-time favorite album.

love dark side

Nice

One time when I lived in Denver I was walking downtown and I had a DSotM t-shirt on underneath my jacket and this hobo-looking guy comes up to me and is all, "Hey man, you like Dark Side? What's your favorite song on the album?" I could tell he was testing me, like I wasn't a *real* fan or something. I just shrugged and said "I like 'em all" and kept walking. Because what a stupid fucking question. Dark Side, more than any other album, is meant to be listened to as a continuous suite. But homeboy keeps on and goes, "Oh, really, you like them all? There isn't one song you like more than another?" He was kind of hostile, like he was expecting me to say "Money" and then he would point and laugh at me with all his hobo friends. So I thought about it for a second and start playing the album in my brain and was like, "Breathe." Because that was the first song I could think of (besides Money) and I really just wanted to get away the fuck away from him. And I think I caught him off guard because then he was like, "Oh, yeah, Breathe, that's a good song." And I was like, "Right on," then we went our separate ways. Anyway, Denver hobo, if you're reading this, my real favorite song is "Time."

Classic. One of the greatest albums ever!

I like Pink Floyd. Always nice to hear it come on the radio. Not music in my collection find it kind of depressing.

Masterpiece

It's. . . .fine.

I like. Would listen again.

The drama and mythology surrounding Pink Floyd can sometimes upstage the music, but there’s a reason this album is a classic. Really great listening experience (especially with a good set of headphones—“On the Run” has some fun stereo panning). I like how all the songs flow into each other, but it doesn’t feel repetitive or boring because the songs are so well done. It’s a well-done concept album. Lyrically, the songs are thematically similar in exploring feelings of loss, alienation, and existential dread, but each song covers a different angle (the rat race, aging, war, insanity, etc.). Technologically, the use of synthesizers must have been mind-blowing when the album first came out, and they still sound great today. Favorite songs include “Breathe,” “Time,” “The Great Gig in the Sky,” “Money” and “Brain Damage.” It’s worth singling out Clare Torry’s performance on the album, especially on “Great Gig.” What a phenomenal voice and performance on that song—you really feel like she’s fighting death.

An absolute classic. 2014 road trip solidified that for me. 6er and hot dogs and whiskey every night. The cacophony of sounds before breathe is great

Classic , not a bad track

Obviously the pinnacle of prog rock.

One of the best in the history of rock

I’ve already heard this.

perfect

An absolute masterpiece from top to bottom. Fun, inspirational, great when high and equally great when not. Do I need to listen to it again? I am sure I've heard it 1000 times on its own lol. But - great album nevertheless. 10/10.

I was a little kid when this came out and permeated junior high school for me. It’s almost hard to listen separate from the raging return of what it was like then.

A classic

понадобилось несколько раз, чтобы расслушать это прямо очень хорошо и приятно, тоже чувствуется многослойность и монументальность очень вдумчивая музыка

Enjoyed the album. Felt a bit meandering at times, but also enthralling. I’ll be returning to it to keep diving deeper. It seems like an album that takes several listens to get the full experience.

Always one of my favorite albums. It made me a little emotional listening to Any Colour You Like because the funky guitar made me think of Robbie. Also “see you on the dark side of the moon” reminded me of something he used to say like “I’ll see you tomorrow and if I don’t I’ll see you on the other side”.

I mean. . .I've heard it all. . . It wasn't exactly interesting

Great album, thematically cohesive and original. Running out of good things to say about this one. Listen to it on acid/shrooms you’re welcome.

It's a really good album but I've heard it a million times.

Good Understand the Hype would listen again

One of the all time classics. Listening to it again after many years gave me a different perspective on it. I think it is much more engaging if the listener is stoned.

Klassiker, klar!

All time favorite!!

C'est pour ce genre de choses que je me suis lancé là dedans... Donc tout le monde semble au courant auf moi : c'est un des meilleurs albums jamais enregistré. J'ai du mal à imaginer le choc que ceux qui ont écouté ça en 1973 ont pu recevoir. De quoi devenir fou. Quel incroyable album, cohérent et teu du début à la fin du premier au dernier battement de coeur. L'intro qui plante le décor de tout ce qu'on va entendre et qui mène au premier accord de "Breathe (in the air)". Un des trucs les plus planants que j'ai entendu. "The Great Gig in the Sky", "Time", "Brain Damage", "Eclipse" qui nous laisse là hébété. Quel voyage incroyable. Quelle putain de perfection.

Masterpiece! Un des meilleurs albums!

Aaaaaah enfin d’la bombe! Meilleur album de Pink Floyd et meilleur album de rock progressif, point barre

Wasn't a big fan in those days and now I wonder why. Really enjoyed it.

💖 us and them 🗣️ 🔟

A classic.

Well, yes

Good, but very different

prima, 1973, -> 5

A classic. On my playlists all the time. Great sound that is ageless. I did not to listen to it until I was in my 20s, and at that time I was very resistant to new music, especially because the association of this album was that one was a stoner. When I was able to really listen to the sound, lyrics and theme, I was enthralled.

Classic! One of the best albums ever made.

Confession: never listened to this before. Never really got into this band. What little I had heard seemed boring, or like you need a bunch of acid to enjoy. This is probably amazing on headphones, while tripping balls. Probably great when paired with the Wizard of Oz, or whatever it was people would rave about. This is certainly a mood. And it is very well composed, serious song structure, real direction. Excellent musicianship. There’s nothing bad here. Confession #2: I’m still mostly bored. Feels like I missed my window to develop a real affection for this band. Maybe you need to be young to be impressed by this. At this point, to my ears, it’s just alright. It’s good, but I’m not getting the full OMG experience. This was very good, but I don’t see myself listening to it again. Don’t hate it, but won’t seek it out.

Very mellow with some interesting changes

Have listen before. Very good, nostalgic

Heard it. Love it. Have it on vinyl.

It's one of the GOATs for a reason.

Perhaps the most iconic album, enjoyable and rich

2.5. Heard ti 20+ years ago. Didn't like it then, liked it more now. Good musicians, see why people like it but it is basically lumpen blues rock which is not for me. Some of the songs really overstayed their welcome and teetered into pomposity.

So I never really need an excuse to listen to this but I'm glad to be given one. Admittedly I am biased due to a lifelong love of this album but 5 stars for me.

This is a phenomenal album! Perhaps I'm biased because I've already listened to it many times... but there's a reason for that. First off, this is one that begs to be listened to as a complete album—I rarely put on simply one or two tracks from it in a mix—since each track melds into the next, each sets the stage for the opening of the next scene. Second, this is so different from almost everything else that the album is timeless—I never even paid attention to the release date before this listen and was surprised to see it was released in 1973. The instrumentation, techniques, vocals, recording color, and general impact don't sound like anything from the 60s, 70s, or any other specific era—one exclusion being the track, “Any Colour You Like,” which is delightfully groovy. Third, the recording quality is pristine, with every element beautifully captured: guitars, saxophone, organ, drums, sampled loops, synthesizer, vocals, and whatever else I might have forgotten to list are all crisp and clear, full-bodied and hitting the entire range of their auditory capacity naturally, and it's all assembled and layered together masterfully—nothing muddled together, every note ringing out crisp and clear for the listener. Fourth, their use of the stereo sound stage is a masterclass in the art, creating interesting and hypnotic effects, placing the listener in a dark, blank room, surrounded by the band for a solo performance. Part of how they accomplish such clarity in the mix (going back to the previous point) is how they take advantage of the whole stage, all the way from the far right to the far left. Fifth, I don't know if this is true or not, but it feels like their use of sound sampling left a permanent imprint on the industry—they don't use the samples only as effects to add atmosphere or texture on the side; they use them as instruments, as part of the melody themselves. I think others did similar things earlier, but it feels like everyone that does it now is starting with Dark Side of the Moon as their baseline. I don't put this album on all the time because I feel it deserves the listener's full attention, but wow, I enjoy it more and more each time!

I'll tell you what: I think this album has a chance to gain some popularity. This Floyd chap seems to have found something that really works here, and if people give it a try I think they'll like it. ---- Pretty surprising how well this holds up given that it's...holy shit, this album came out 50 years ago! It's hard enough to make an artsy album that works the day it comes out, but the fact that it still works 50 years later is incredible. A million artists have tried to make music that evokes an emotional response like this, but few have succeeded; this one just has that je ne sais quoi.

There is nothing new to be said.

Other than Money, there isn't a single song I would purposely pick out to play for myself, or anyone else, for that matter.

I am probably a bit biased with this review, but this is one of m favorite albums of all time. I think this album is a masterpiece that took a lot of creative and musical talent to make. One thing I've always loved about the album is how the songs seemlessly blend into eachother. It creates a complete listening experience, that makes me want to listen to it in full. I could say so much more about it if I had the time. It's a 5/5 and not many pieces of music come close to it in my opinion.

This is, without a doubt, one of the few perfect albums that exist. Every track is great (even “Speak to Me,” which is just a minute of sound effects), with a few certified bangers. The lyrics are poetic but specific and meaningful. The album flows so elegantly, making it the fastest 45 minutes of music that exists. The album is actually fairly sparing in production and yet sounds so enormous and beautiful, a testament to the brilliant performances and engineering. In fact, this is likely what makes it the most beloved prog rock album—it doesn’t veer into excess or pretension. A long time favorite, there simply is no album I would rather have to ring in the new year. One of only two albums I’ve gotten so far that deserve a ranking higher than 5/5 (the other being “Songs in the Key of Life”).

Probably should just hand copies of this out at the DMV

A true classic. What is there to say…. Perhaps a perfect album?!

Solid. I like "The Wall" better, but still very much a classic album.

I have nothing to value to add to the conversation around this album as everything that's already been said about it has been set. Consider one of the greatest albums of all time and rightfully so. I will say that the intro to Time will always catch me off guard. Beautiful psychedelic album!

Well it's a classic, listen to it regularly so nothing new for me 😬

First time ever listening to this. It’s decent, money is the best song by far for me.

El mejor disco de pink Floyd es glorioso de principio a fin de sinte un viaje sicodelico mientras tus oidos simplemente se deleitan de tal obra maestra escucha este disco cuanto antes es glorioso merece estar en esta lista

Yeah what else can be said. Fantastic album. Sometimes I stray into the weirder proggy Pink Floyd but as a concept album this narratively fits so well. I love the great gig in the sky, brain damage. Honestly if anything I probably don’t like Money as much as everything else just bc I’ve heard it so much. Great album

Cool sounds, but not my taste

Masterpiece!

Maybe not The GOAT, but right up there with the best available. Tremendously good and enjoyable and now I think it is better overall than Wish You Were Here (song for song). Generally bitesize Floyd pieces, covering a wide range of accessible and interesting topics and styles with the now famous time signature changes. A blast and a delightful present this Christmas Day from the 1001+ generator.

The high water mark for all music ever made

One of the greatest of all time. So many good memories attached to this album

One of the best albums of all time. Easy 5 Stars.

01) Speak To Me/Breathe - 9,5 02) On The Run - 9,5 03) Time - 10,0 04) The Great Gig In The Sky - 10,0 05) Money - 10,0 06) Us And Them - 10,0 07) Any Colour You Like - 10,0 08) Brain Damage - 10,0 09) Eclipse - 10,0 TOTAL: 9,88 (99/100) I never actually listened to this album, and I call myself a music lover. Despicable. But this is exactly why I wanted to do "1001 albums...". I have 962 more albums to go, but this is definitely one of the most important ones. It deserves every praise it has received.

Pink Floyd is legendary for a reason! Amazing album from beginning to end.

Un album philosophique, tant sur le plan matériel que des paroles. On y exploite toutes les facettes du son, musical comme quotidien. The Great Gig in the Sky demeure un chef-d’œuvre.

As it turns out, dads are right some times. I vibed out to dark side of the moon in my teens. In my twenties, the concept of the very serious rock band was entirely unappetizing. Now in my thirties, having not listened to this in maybe 15 years, I once again vibe out. I still feel like I would find some of their later work (the wall) self serious, or even pompous. I guess I will find out sooner or later. 4.6

It starts out so strong but slightly falls away in the last 1/4 for me still a mad album.

The Dark Side of the Moon is not just a rock album, it is an epic musical journey that explores the human condition in all its facets. From the existential angst of Time to the soulful lament of The Great Gig in the Sky, this album is a sonic masterpiece that showcases the band’s creativity and innovation. I love to listen to it on high-quality speakers or headphones, as it reveals new details and nuances every time. It may not appeal to everyone, but for me, it is the perfect album to unwind with after a long day. I like to turn off the lights, pour myself a glass of whisky, and immerse myself in the sounds and emotions of this classic album, 5 stars.

The Goat of classic rock albums 10/10 would always listen to

How do I even review this? Its one of the greatest albums of all time for a reason. The only thing I could complain about is that when I listened to this today, my headphones started stuttering in the middle of the great gig in the sky. That was a bit annoying.

Is there anything else to say about this A++++ album?

I guess I have to like it?

Yes

Bra album, sjøl om Money e ganske irriterande

Fortjene statusen sin

Not going to lie the first track made me think like I was listening to a rejected version of the Are You Being Served theme with all the cash register sounds, which was a bit concerning to me as this is the much lauded Dark Side of the Moon album. The limit of my Floyd knowledge is High Hopes, Another Brick, Money and Comfortably Numb, so I was expecting something like that and right now I’m listening to Time and I don’t get the hype for this album. In fact, Time is the only track I’ve enjoyed so far and even then I feel like this would be better without the lyrics. The Great Gig in the Sky wasn’t that great simply for the wailing woman all track long, while again the music sounded good. Similar for Money, this is actually my first time listening to the track all the way through and there is an annoying part for me before the halfway point with what I assume is a saxophone before some glorious guitar playing comes in. That guitar section is the saving grace of the song for me. I had to pause my listen at that point till later while I did some cooler cleaning I figured I would finish off the rest of this album and the rest while it sounded good, it wasn’t especially memorable. I don’t know, I just don’t get the hype.

What a way to see off the week! Though neither of the contain my favourite Floyd track, this is one of my two favourite Floyd albums. As a comment on life in general it is as relevant today as it ever was. Starting off with the heart beat of speak to me and progressing through breathe and on the run this album contains the well known tracks of Time and Money. It is just a superb album and a classic of it genre. You know what is coming next. 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5

A mid to low 4. Great songs when they eventually get around to them, but just too much nonsense in between. I suppose that’s art. Iconic album with iconic artwork, but too much nonsense I skip and not enough non-nonsense to enjoy. Best track ‘Us and Them’ - pure class

Ultimate Dad music, one of the first albums I ever listened to. Not quite forced to listen to it more times than I care to think about, as it was one of the best albums my Dad had out of a very bad bunch. The other one I used to ask to hear was Gustav Holst's Planet suite. Then I grew up and never listened to Dark Side of the Moon again. I can't say the same about Holst, as I have a copy of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying its bad in any way, it's just that I don't need to hear it as I know it well enough. Nice to give it its once a century play since the parents have passed on. Roll on to the 22nd century for the next play! But seriously it is a stone cold classic and deserves nothing less than a 5.

Both overrated and under appreciated. Only works as a complete piece with side A and side B being the only real seperation points. Personally I love this album. Nothing else like it. Pop art in musical form 10/10

Klart som fan att det är bra men jag tycker The Wall är bättre En stark 4 dock.

One of the best albums of all time!!!

This my favourite album ever. It is a musical masterpiece and it clearly shows as its the best selling album ever.

What's that thing on the cover? Is it a prism or a prizm? Whatever your argument is for the spelling, there's no denying this album is a classic. Normally, the intro song doesn't really work for me. But in this case, it allows for you to build the anticipation of what you're about to receive from this album. Or, it should just be a mechanism to allow you some time to sit down after you've put the needle on the record and settle in to be blown away. In the old Maxell ad, I've always envisioned that this album is what they were playing. Imagine that irony!

Epic. Quintessential. OG. One of the most interesting and amazing albums of all time. Still holds up today.

Didn't have time to listen to this one, probably didn't miss much, right? Just kidding, obviously one of the best albums of all time.

i mean

💰

The Wizard of Oz soundtrack is amazing.

top ten all time

Absolute classic - a beautiful balance of prog weirdness with accessible musicality. Might just be their best album.

The lunatic is in my head! If this is not a 5 star album, skip the 5 star category. Breathe and Time beyond any comparison

Masterpiece

I mean, this is one of the best rock albums ever recorded.

This is a really interesting album. It's obviously one of the most popular, iconic, best selling of all time. I listen to it and it's obviously a good album, but I just can't quite connect to it. That's not to say I don't like it, I do! but without half stars, is it a 3 or a 4? Going through the track listing, I think the instrumental On The Run is a throwaway, and the shrieking in The Great Gig In The Sky was off-putting in an otherwise very good song. Other than that, the other songs are all hits. How can I *not* give it a 4?

Probably one of the most inventive albums of all time.

A masterpiece. A flawless record and on the (very) short list of greatest albums of all time.

I’ve listened to this album 6 million times. I’ve synced it up with wizard of oz (it kind of works, kind of), smoked weed while listening, played it late at night with my friends, even listened to it with my mom. What else is there to say. It’s a classic album, and arguably it’s one of the reasons lists like these exist. In many ways Dark Side is the poster child for album as an art form; the cohesive concept, the musical variety, the album art, the posters, the mystique. So while I’m disappointed that classic rock radio and the oversaturation of Pink Floyd marketing has made many people rightly cynical about them and this album. If we’re making a list of the best albums though, really considering the album as an art form. Which to me means a cohesive work of music, separated into separate songs or movements, weaved together by mutual themes, instrumentation, and style. For these reasons, it’s undeniable, dark side of the moon IS one of the greatest albums of all time. And always will be. 5/5

5/5. Man, although I wouldn't say all the songs on here are perfect, it's really hard for me to deny the 5 this deserves. Unique instrumentation, wild and spacey lyrics while also being real, a feeling of dread spread throughout the album. For an album about life, it truly hits home the depressing state we all go through even back in 1973. Personally bias of course but this is definitely one you have to listen to before you die. Plus we love the anti-capitalist mindset they were preaching.

Awesome album. It had been a LONG time since I listened to it all of the way through. I’m glad I did.

When I heard this the first time some years ago I didn't exactly understand the hype. It took some time to appreciate it, and now I do. I wonder if I would regard it as highly if I didn't know it was one of the best selling records ever? Regardless, I think this is an album that is perfectly suited for listening all the way through in one sitting. Some tracks feels like segways between other tracks ('On The Run', 'The Great Gig In The Sky', 'Any Colour You Like') and perhaps doesn't stand as firmly on their own, but work very well in the context of the album. This is also an album where the artist definitely experiments and pushes boundaires (as with the clocks in 'Time', and the whole 'On The Run' track) and where it actually works very well. When I think of the greatest record ever made, this definitely springs to mind as a candidate, but I am not sure if it is because I really think that it is that good, or if it is because I know it's valued as one of the best records ever. Probably the latter. But even if it's not the best album ever for me, I still think it deserves a 5 star.

I mean it's "Darkside of the moon" one of my (and everyone else's) favourite albums. I remember hearing it for the first time (or actually taking notice to it) when I was around 12. I was with my dad, driving to visit family and he had brought it as one of the "car CDs". Normally his selection was pretty dull but once we left the city there weren't that many good radio stations. I remember really connecting with "Time" and that existential dread as well as the "Great gig in the Sky" as I played a lot of piano. Anyway, I haven't listened to this for a long time and decided to see if it was still as good as I remember. The answer is a clear yes. The theme is clear the whole album and just listening to it as singles doesn't do it proper justice so it really benefits of being an album. I try to find a favourite song or part but just can't, it changes each time but all parts are great. There is no part of the album that feels dull or bad or something that could be removed. I think this is as close to a perfect album one can come really.

Yes!! Love this classic!

its reputation speaks for itself

Its Dark Side of The Moon.

Excellent album

Nothing to see here .....

One of the most important albums ever.

A classic. It both sounds timeless and trapped in time. A 70s record I love. High in concept, but still big on engaging music. Builds in beautifully, and the run from time to us and them is insane. Any colour you like is the weakest song on the album but brain damage instantly comes back up to form. I’ve listened to this once every 5 years and every time my love for it grows. I’ll have to come back to it more often!

First time I listened to this properly on good headphones and no distractions. Very good record. Solid from start toy finish.

A masterpiece from the beginning to the end.

Obra maestra, de los primeros grandes albumes que escuche, esta perfectamente hecho sinceramente 10/10

Initial thoughts: psychedelic and performative. Songs 1-3 are pretty much just sounds? I recall like 3 songs that have lyrics, but they’re separated by tracks/intros/putrid that seem to blend into each other. The lyrical songs don’t really standout for me. Ultimately, this isn’t an album I’d listen to again.

By the end, I felt like I was descending into a bad dream. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing, which is concerning.

one of the best of all time, i think wish you were here is better but this deserves all the praise it gets

9/10

There is a very small number of albums I will say this about. But Dark Side of the Moon is an album all serious albums aspire to be, most of them falling far short. There are few albums this carefully crafted, this unified in concept, this technically masterful. It's creative in ways that are nuanced and restrained, which makes it more universally accessible without getting too proggy or losing any of its fire. It's a dark and haunting odyssey of an album that is fascinating down to its finest details. It's hard to even tackle the details, because the album is so richly rendered. Soaring, ethereal moments linger with softly unsettling moments and even flashes of humor. The subject matter ponders themes that are dark but essentially human - madness, mortality, materialism, war, the malaise of daily life - in ways you rarely hear in music, frequently with surprising lyrical economy. The music very much speaks for itself. Fave Songs (All songs, from most to least favorite): Money, Time/The Great Gig in the Sky, Speak to Me/Breathe (In the Air), Us and Them, Brain Damage/Eclipse, Any Colour You Like, On the Run

One of the most important albums in terms of how my taste in music has been shaped through childhood. I have incredible memories hearing “Time” for the first time waiting in line for the Corkscrew at Cedar Point and synchronizing this album with The Wizard of Oz with my family. I’m still blown away by the production quality for 1973 and it’s single-handedly helped me fall in love with psych rock as a genre.

Overbite rock that likely was quite a divergence from the norm at the time but now is the soundtrack to Boomer age despair and complaints about the state of the world. Musicianship? Sure. But borders on easy listening too often.

Bro it’s a masterpiece

Classic

Their second best and most iconic album

Phenomenal, of course

Simply brilliant

One of the best albums of all time. Easy 5 stars.

Objectively the most perfect album of all time.

Easily regarded as one of the best psychedelic rock albums ever, "Dark Side Of The Moon" is filled with some of the best spacey grooves a guy can ask for. There's plenty of songs most people will recongnize from somewhere sometime or another. This is a staple for any person looking to dip their feet in some rock classics.

'm having fun - this is definitely sickkkk to listen to while super high and vibing out lol All the songs that are actually songs are really cool I like the psychedelic stuff normally so its up my alley also roger waters is sick and only a cool dude could make a cool album like this

Meh

I could probably have reviewed this without even listening to it ! It’s a really important album to us at a very seminal point in our teenage years and I love it ! I even used to have the album, until Scott sold it 😢 It has to be 5*

Its somewhere between a 4 and a 5 for me.

Wankery pretension run amok. Why are the tracks, so needlessly long.

8/10 Highlights: Time

Groundbreaking and still sounds amazing. Some of the tech wrangling is a little grating now but it makes up for that with the quality.

pretty good, pretty, pretty prettygood

So good

top 5 best rock albums of all time.(Maybe number one rock album to listen with headphones on!) 50 years in, still a timeless classic.

i have only just started the second song but found that a very stressful album opener. i really like the transitions between songs and i like the sax in us and them too. not sure overall though? i do all my ratings based on personal enjoyment but there are times like this where i feel like i'm just wrong because i know and i can hear how musically important this album is. i just had a very average time listening to it.

95/100 Based on this scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 Absolute fucking masterpiece. End of story.

I mean it's hard not to give this a 5. As a lover of the full album experience, few albums nail it as well as Dark Side does. Hard to imagine not playing it through front to back everytime. 'Us vs Them' I think might be my favourite on here.

Previously rated: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (2/5) **************************************** I will reiterate that I've never been stoned in my life, and that I don't get Pink Floyd. This is a well thought out, well put together, cohesive album. Money is a good song that I've heard a hundred times. The rest is fine, if not a little boring. I just don't get much enjoyment out of it. I'm glad everyone else in the world loves it.

Landmark album! Incredible what they achieved on this record. So influential, ground breaking and timeless. I’ve listened to this record tons of times, but that experience never diminishes. 9,5 out of 10

Favorite tracks: Breathe (In the Air), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, Eclipse Least favorite track: On The Run

Pretty iconic

Classic. “Contemporary take on the problems with society followed by the best guitar solo you’ve ever heard”

cant give less then 5 starts to Dark Side!

Album legendaire d'un groupe légendaire, dinguerie a ecouter dans le bus

One of the best. Psychedelic rock. Probably the most famous album in history. Best to listen to on shrooms? When i was younger i was obsessed with "Money". I think i still am.

Obviously goated.

5, obviously

As a teenager who had recently tried my first reefer (I did not inhale), one day I decided I'd sit down and listen to DSOTM from start to finish - then immediately restart the CD to listen again countless times for years to follow. The album changed what I thought music could be, and changed my whole life path in ways I may never understand. As a mid-30s adult who hasn't touched any reefers for over a decade and listens to electronic bleeps and bloops music almost exclusively, with each revisit DSOTM continues to change what it means to me, sometimes challenging to self-reflect and other times reaffirming my life path in powerful new ways. tl;dr - The greatest and most important album I've had the chance to experience in 30+ years of life

Goed maar niet helemaal mijn stijl

This will be interesting as I'm going into this having only heard a couple songs from this album. That means I will be a real unbiased opinion from a millennial that has never given this album a fair shake, but have heard how it's one of the best albums of all time. Speak to Me: Instrumental. Heart beat sound is an interesting part. Breathe: Nice song. I can hear a mix of genres which is a nice touch. Not many lyrics which lets the music, well, breathe. Not sure if that was the intention but it fits really well with the song. This is not the extended version so it has a sort of abrupt ending. On the Run: Huge shift from the last song. Instrumental and very upbeat. This must be what was used in the Chicago Bulls entrance themes in the 90s because that was my immediate recognition. Not a bad instrumental but it changes the flow of the album. Time: Long instrumental buildup over the first two minutes is very good. Especially considering the time it was recorded. Overall this is a fantastic song great musically, instrumentally, and the lyrics go along great with the song. I was concerned when I saw a 7 minute song, but it cruises along with the right changes at just the right time so nothing over stays its welcome and you don't realize you just listened to a 7 minute song by the time it ends. The Great Gig in the Sky: Another song with no lyrics but it's still very good. I read about this previously unfortunately so I kind of knew what to expect from the infamous song where the singer was paid 30 pounds. I could hear the emotion she was told to put into the song. Money: The first song that I have already heard prior to this full album listen. There really isn't much I can say about this song. It's a classic that many people have heard due to it being used in many places. Us and Them: Nearly 8 minutes of a dream like song. I enjoyed the big chorus part around 2:50. Other than that this song was a lower point on the album for me personally. I think that's because the song kind of dragged on after 5 minutes and just turned into good background music. Any Colour You Like: Very good instrumental. Nice use of effects and varying instruments on this song. Some times you don't need lyrics. Brain Damage: The most lyrically heavy song on the album (also has the albums name in the lyrics). Still very good and like the previous song is one of my favorites on the album. A great track for the penultimate of the album. Eclipse: Short song and sort of an interesting way to end the album. I must say that I wouldn't call this one of the greatest albums of all time. Maybe the hype sort of killed that for me? It is very good, don't get me wrong, but I've heard 5 albums previously during my 24 days on 1001 Albums Generator that I would consider better than this album. 4 out of 5.

Annoying

Classic Pink Floyd, at their peak.

Piece of art.

Easiest 5 of my life.

Génial. Un chef d'oeuvre. Rien n'est à jeter. Le début est un peu éthéré, mais tout est génial.

De los mejores álbums de la historia !!

All-time great

Would listen again

I knew this album was pretty widely praised but hadn't ever actually listened to it before. I enjoyed it. I would listen again

величие чувствуется, но пизды за этот альбом мы получим

Good

Blocked

Great

Perfect

I mean you can easily make the argument for this being the best album of all time.

After some poor albums, this album was a nice release. It was lovely to hear actual well composed, good music. I know sometimes pink floyd is seen as good because they've made a name for themselves but there's a reason why they're so popular. Between the amazing guitar rifts and the smooth vocals this album is such a beautiful listen. The only reason this isn't a five star album is because it didn't quite give me that escapism like certain music does.

Melkein nelonen!

Tämä tuo aina lapsuuden mieleen.

ich fands schon in ordnung, pink floyd ist ne band von der ich vorher nur durch hörensagen gehört habe, und ich habe einige songs davon geherzt

One of the greatest albums of all time. Not a single song is a mistake or misplaced. This is how you do albums

I was expecting to like this album and I liked it even more than I expected.

Maybe it’s because I’m a lyrics person or maybe I just didn’t get the concept but this was not good. I had high expectations for this since it’s one of the most well known rock albums but I was very disappointed

beautiful

Everything under the sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Awesome

They're really trying to get me back into this lol. I'm very familiar with this album I've listened to it front to back countless times. Probably near 50. It's a 10/10 album for me. Not much else to say!

Fantastic album with Standouts in Breathe, Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money and Eclipse.

So this particular slice of perfection comes with incredible depth, particularly considering how young the band were when they put all this together. I sometimes like to imagine that they didn't even create this album, but "discovered" it somewhere in their heads, waiting to be recorded. It's just too good for mere humans to have made this. If I was doing scoring properly, this would get a 5, as it's perfect from start to finish, but the dozen or so other albums I already ranked 5 would all have to be reduced to 4 stars.

An album that deserves all the dick riding. So grand and loud but also quiet and empty. Everything seems so intentional, even the tracks that are nothing but empty space find a way to belong. Fantastic, spacey, cavernous, psychedelic

One of my tops of all time!

Didn't know how big of pompous jerks the Pink Floyd really were, but really glad Clare Torry finally got paid for her vocals in 2005. "Great Gig in the Sky" still impresses me.

Great album sans Money. Terrible track

Classic. Incredible. 50 years and still hitting all the right shots. Subjectively I enjoy ‘wish you were here’ and ‘the wall’ more, but talk about the definition of what good, groundbreaking music is. I feel fortunate that I heard this album for the first time while also having one of my first exposures to marijuana. No longer a fan of weed, but feel like that was a signature pairing for 15 year old me.

C'mon, it's a banger.

Easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Speak to me - 7/10 Breathe(in The Air) - 8/10 On The Run - 7/10 Time - 10/10 The Great Gig in the Sky - 10/10 Money - 10/10 Us and Them - 7/10 Any Colour You Like - 7/10 Brain Damage - 9/10 Eclipse - 9/10 TOTAL - 84/100

Absolute masterpiece

Nice

so so

Masterpiece

A beautiful record but I don’t love it as much as I would want to

Great concept album filled with songs that stand strong alone.

It's dark side.

Unquestionable 5.0

Well, no need to listen before commenting on this one - Dark Side Of The Moon has been a 5/5, 10/10, top-tier, all-time-favorite, desert island record for me since high school.

I’ve always thought that Pink Floyd was a bit more style than substance, but you can really get listen this record. It’s kind of hypnotic.

At first, the album was not so good. Too much instrumental but after the 3 songs the album got better and better 3/5

didn't like the beginning but got pretty good very fast afterwards

Five stars. If I’m honest though, it’s because I want to love it, not because I really do. I almost love it though, so I’d rather round up from 4.5 than down. I don’t have critiques or anything like that, it’s just kind of an ugly puppy is all, you know? It’s basically about the terror and madness of life and they’re kind of too good at conveying it at some points. I’m glad I gave it another listen through and surely will again, but just not one I’d often put on.

Lots of tracks with sound effects, but the actual songs are catchy. Some really good vocals and neat sound effects. Like a little journey.

one word - wow. if you haven't already heard it yet, you need to get on it asap. Every track is a bonafide classic

Classic. Huge influence. Nothin but good shit.

Oh for heaven's sake. Sitting on the floor of our living room, breaking out my parents' vinyl collection for the first time, liking a boy (or so I thought).

One of my favorite albums, changed my life back in the day.

Masterpiece. I loved every song. The instrumentation, lyrics, SFX, all of it was great!!

Using this space to talk about Janis Joplin instead. Music that really moves you, stirs feeling. Lot of good tracks, what an album (Pearl)

I listed to this album first in high school so conjures memories and feelings of being a depressed and socially awkward teen. Which isn't fair to the album, as it is breathtaking.

It is a great album and and of course it is iconic, and feels like an experience when listening to it in full. But in terms of replayability, this isn't an album I would revisit regularly, or on any given day. So for me, while it is a great album for a listen through, it isn't something I would regularly come back to, unless I was in need of some kind of existential mind bending relaxation.

It was just a lot of cool sounds And I love the Imagine Dragons

One of my favorite albums of all time. Classic.

obviously near masterpiece no debating but doesn't do as much for me as 5s I've given . Us vs them is crazy tho

not really my thing

Classic album for a reason

Pretty great album, starts bit slow and melodic but the middle is incredible.

Truly one of the greatest albums of all time.

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd is a monumental masterpiece that stands as one of the most iconic albums in the history of music. Released in 1973, it's a concept album that delves into themes of life, death, and the human condition. Tracks like "Money" and "Time" are synonymous with progressive rock and are known for their intricate musical arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics. The album's production is a testament to Pink Floyd's pioneering use of sound effects and studio technology.

6/10 Objectively, one of the best albums ever made. Too bad I fucking hate it.

Brani Preferiti: - "Time" - "The Great Gig in the Sky" - "Money" Note: Mai stato un fan dei Pink Floyd. Il disco ha un titolo iconico e la copertina più identificabile mai creata, entrambe entrate nella cultura popolare si adattano perfettamente all'atmosfera spaziale e misteriosa della band. Quindi sì, tralasciando i gusti personali è innegabile l'impatto storico di questo album.

One the absolute best

yes

There are albums, and then there are timeless classics. Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. It's not only one of the most iconic albums in history but also rightfully so. From the moment you press play, you're taken on a mesmerizing musical journey. The seamless blend of rock, progressive, and psychedelic elements creates an otherworldly sonic experience that transcends time. Each track flows into the next, forming a cohesive and thought-provoking narrative that explores themes of life, death, and the human experience. The album's groundbreaking use of sound effects, innovative recording techniques, and Roger Waters' introspective lyrics make it a true masterpiece. "The Dark Side of the Moon" isn't just an album; it's a profound work of art that has left an indelible mark on the music world. Its enduring popularity and influence on subsequent generations of musicians are a testament to its greatness. It's an album that continues to captivate and resonate with listeners, and for that reason, it rightly stands as one of the most iconic albums in the history of music.

the best

All time great

Fav: Us and Them LF: Money It's a classic sure, idk. 8

Really enjoyed the flow and transitions

Classic. Love the way it flows the whole way through, always a good time listening to this album

I mean, It's Dark Side of the Moon. It's a classic. Still think I prefer The Wall though. If you play it at the same time as Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 you will have a religious experience. Liked Songs - Time, Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, And Colour you Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse

Enjoyed it more than I remembered from my last listen.

Never really liked this and probably never will. Not going to come out here and say that it’s poorly made or anything, I’m just not really impressed with the concept or the songwriting. I have always kinda felt like this was well traveled territory by 1973; to me it’s less of a revolutionary record and more like one that exposed a wider audience to this kinda headass music. Which isn’t a bad thing, but let’s just say that the album art has dominated the Kohl’s graphic tee rack for a reason. 3/5, it’s well crafted but very overrated

It’s been a long time since I’ve listened through this record of really heard anything off it. Coming at it with fresh ears and putting aside any jaded preconceived notions about popularity or context, it really hits hard as a beautiful piece of art. Even the oft-referenced iconic album artwork pairs perfectly with the record and adds to the experience. Every song is great, and even the less-structured interlude pieces (Speak To Me and On The Run) are constructed so deliberately they fit into the narrative of the album. Waters’ lyrics walk us through life from beginning to end, while musically the band punctuates each track with soundscapes which tell as much of a story as the words themselves. This is an album that thematically describes the shared experiences each human has taken for granted as being a sort of mundane fact of reality, but pairing it alongside these sweeping arrangements and epic, ethereal climaxes really drives home how miraculous existence is. For me, the “secret” sauce in Pink Floyd is David Gilmour. Roger Waters takes lead vox on the closing Brain Damage/Eclipse suite which is undeniably fantastic, but this album really grabs me because of Gilmour’s versatility, both in his smooth vocals and incredibly mastery of the most pleasant guitar tones ever put to work. Long story short? Sometimes something is extremely popular because it is extremely good. This is a deeply moving, masterful piece. I’d be surprised if at any point in life I’m able to revisit this without beginning to well go by the time the soaring sax part on Us And Them comes in. Thank you, 1001 albums, for briefly freeing my irony-poisoned brain and helping me enjoy listening to popular music again.

Masterpiece

i started this project 10 months ago and ive waited for this moment so much waking up in the morning to see what album i got and see this beautiful album cover. this is pink floyd's masterpiece. wish you were, the wall, animals, meddle are brilliant albums as well (echoes is my favorite floyd song) but none of those albums gives me an expirience like i get with the album. this record just flows and you lose yourself in the music for 43 minutes. i have so many memories with this album, listening to it for the first time, listening to it on a roadtrip, before sleep, in a basketball game, watching the wizard of oz which btw works INCREDIBLE! this is an album when floyd were still a democracy untill roger waters became in-charge, the vocals of david gilmour and richard wright together creat such an amazing harmony, waters brilliant lyrics, gilmour's iconic solos on time and money, one of the best drummers of all time nick mason creating sort of a melody with the drums in time, richard wright on keys just ties it all together man. you get sucked in with all those sound effects that will repeat throught the album in "speak to me" which transitions BRILLIANTLY into "Breathe". and then you go on a trip in "On the run" untill it all explodes and lead to probably the best lyrics ive heard ever "and you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it sinking" and then breathe reprise. after all of this madness and the heavenly guitar solo the album transition into "The great gig in the sky" so few words, so many emotions. clare tory is such an amazing singer. and with that side one is over, you flip the record and get one of the best and iconic bass riffs in progressive rock "Money", with elemnts of blues rock in an odd time signiture of 7/4 and great sax solo by dick parry. then the last 17 minutes of the album: "Us and them", "Any colour you like", "brain damage", "eclipse". these song goes through psychadelic rock, jazz fusion. us and them is richard wright best performance on the album. any colour you like is just an amazing trip and encore to us and them. brain damage's lyrics refer to syd barret's mental health "the lunatic is in my head..." "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" eclipse is probably the best climax to an album ever made "the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon" also, they recorded interviews with their roadies and asked them questions like when was the last time you were violent? were you in the right? paul and linda mccartney also were interviewed but not included in the album. alan parsons is an amazing producer. there is a good reason why this album is so succssesful and iconic, its the best thing ever recorded, best album of the 70s, best album ever and such an important album to music history that influenced so many people. there have been amazing bands covering this album like dream theater, the flaming lips and so on and it is my dream too one day perform this entire album live and pay tribute to these great 4: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright on a side note, roger waters dark side of the moon REDUX is the most awful album ive ever heard and uneccessery rendition of a perfect untouchable album. stay away from that album and go listen to the original again. Thank you PInk Floyd.

Top 3 Songs: 1 - Time (4) 2 - Us and Them (7) 3 - Breathe (2)

Very little can be said about this album that hasn't been said a thousand times already. From the opening beats of Speak to me to the final notes of eclipse this album is 5*

You have two choices. Either: - recognize that this is one of the greatest albums of all time - be a contrarian twatwaffle So what if Roger Waters decided to be Putin's cabana boy in later life? So what if he released a bullshit de-Gilmourized crummy watered-down (heh) remake? Dark Side of the Moon, as released in 1973, is a flawless, timeless album. If I only get to pick one record to bring to your deserted island... to be honest, I'm picking Bitches Brew but this would be a close 2nd choice.

Was never much into Pink Floyd, but after listening to this album twice today I have a newfound appreciation for them

I’m totally wizard of oz-pilled now

I was tempted to vote higher because of its reputation, but it's just not all that enjoyable of an album for me. Maybe if I listen 5 more times, I'll grow to appreciate it, but until then, it's not doing it for me

Sounded like the 70's would have felt. Glad I wasn't there. It had a very drugged vibe. Not feeling it.

GOAT

Pink Floyd jsem kdysi považoval za značně vyhypeovanou kapelu, ale jejich série alb ze 70. let mi postupně přirostla k srdci a tenhle kousek obzv.

pretentious crap

Perfect

I loved the album my least favorite song was on the run but my favorite was money! Overall, I really enjoyed the album and Pink Floyd’s music!

Coming back to this after hearing the rest of Pink Floyd's work is interesting. I am definitely not into Pink Floyd as much as I was when I was younger, Breathe is still one of the best psyc rock songs ever made. I think I just listened to this too much when I was younger to feel like it's higher than 3 stars.
