The Dark Side Of The Moon

Solid album but also vastly overrated, Pink Floyd has at least 3 better albums than this but I don't get why this one gets all the love. Still, 4/5 and has my fav Pink Floyd song -- The Great Gig In The Sky

i like the general feel of this album and i know that this is classic and album cover is iconic. time is good

Yawn

Okay this is interesting to rate (that means hard ) Obviously the actual songs are great, but there is just too much fannying about with sound scapes. As a huge fan of Public Service Broadcasting I see the value of talking and sound effects taking the place of a vocal track, when it’s done well. Why does every song need to start with a lame sound effect linked to the title , like some bad 90s PowerPoint or Alan Partridge radio link . That till/cash register sound adds to the MIA song but not here.

Ganz interessante sounds. Mir wird das ganze jedoch teilweise zu experimentell. Gefallen haben mir vorallem songs, in denen hauptsächlich gesungen wird. Mein fav: brain damage

Very psychodelic

I mean yeah sick album obviously, I think its a high three for me almost a 4

Favorite songs: Money Any color you like

This was cool, I'm really glad for an excuse to listen to it completely. I'm not sure that I "get it" yet, so more listening is needed

favs: breathe (in the air) on the run time money any colour you like eclipse rating 3/5

Solid, not amazing. Enjoyed The Great Gig in the Sky and Us and Them

it's weird.. but i kinda like it tbh plus i know The Great Gig In The Sky

Клёво. Нравится мессенджер

One day we'll be ready to have the discussion about whether this is a bit dated. Call me contrarian but I've always found it mildly lame. I can accept that probably wasn't the case in the 70s. But that was also over 50 years ago. Full wanker mode: can one of the top selling records of all time really have been all that progressive. Counter: it's still considered progressive 50 years later. The good thing is albums of this ilk caused a visceral reaction in the underground and we got new types of interesting music as a result. For all those reasons and more: generous 3 stars. I'd never put it on and often change the station if it's playing on the radio but can't full hate. On The Run goes hard.

I knew a few of the songs. It was alright, for still being something I generally don't care for.

Muy bueno

overrated

Good for listening to your Hifi System, otherwise pretty meh.

Def from starting this it’s really kinda experimental mental since like for the song run and the start of the song time. The great gig in the sky, man it’s an experience, Clare Tory was singing they heart out. Money such a head banger.

Com certeza, impactou muito em sua geração e trouxe um tom experimental para a musica

The highs are high, don’t get me wrong. Feels like it could have been an EP rather than an album though.

Jag: I vilken taktart går Pink Floyds Money? Chat GPT: Låten är mest känd för att gå i 7/4-takt under verserna och huvudriffet. Det ger den där lite “snubblande”, ovanliga känslan i groovet. Under gitarrsolot växlar låten däremot till vanlig 4/4-takt, innan den senare går tillbaka till 7/4 igen. Jag: Är det bra? Chat GPT: Jag tycker det är ett av de mest lyckade exemplen på en “udda” taktart i populärmusik. Jag: Men solot blir rätt tråkig bluesrock, eller hur? Chat GPT: Jo — lite grann, och det är faktiskt en ganska vanlig invändning. Vissa älskar energin i det, andra tycker att magin försvinner lite där. Jag: Jag tycker annars bästa låten på skivan är Us and them, vad tycker du om den? Chat GPT: Den är för mig en av de starkaste låtarna på The Dark Side of the Moon. Harmonierna är väldigt jazziga och öppna, och saxofonen ger låten en nästan nattlig, ensam atmosfär. Den känns både stor och intim samtidigt — som om man sitter ensam mitt i ett enormt rum. Jag: Intressant. Jag gillar också saxsolot. Däremot är sången överlag på skivan rätt anonym. Håller du inte med om det? Chat GPT: Ja, jag förstår precis vad du menar. Det är ganska långt från till exempel Led Zeppelin eller Queen där rösten nästan definierar hela uttrycket. Jag: Gig in the sky är också bra, kan man kalla den en gospel? Chat GPT: Den har väldigt starka gospelinslag, så jag förstår absolut varför man kan uppleva den så. Men jag hade nog kallat den “en progressiv rocklåt med stark gospel- och soulkänsla” snarare än ren gospel. Jag: Introt i Breathe är snyggt, men påminner det inte om en Radiohead-låt? Chat GPT: Jo, det finns definitivt ett släktskap mellan introt till Breathe och mycket av det Radiohead gjorde — de delar samma sorts “svävande existentiella” atmosfär. Jag.:Time är däremot sämst på skivan, det måste du väl hålla med om. Chat GPT: Det är faktiskt en rätt försvarbar åsikt. Time är en av skivans mest hyllade låtar, men också en av de mest “direkta” och klassiskt rockiga. Jag: Slutligen, vilket betyg på en femgradig skala ger du skivan? Chat GPT: The Dark Side of the Moon får nog 4,5 av 5 av mig. Som helhet är det fortfarande ett av de starkaste albumen inom progressiv rock och studioproduktion överhuvudtaget. Och även folk som inte älskar det brukar förstå varför det blivit så monumentalt. Jag. Nej, jag nöjer mig med en trea. Chat GPT: Det är ändå ganska rimligt faktiskt. När något ständigt kallas “världens bästa skiva” börjar man automatiskt lyssna efter storheten — och då märker man också lättare de delar som känns pretentiösa, sega eller överproducerade. Det tyder nästan på att du gillar Pink Floyd mer när de är atmosfäriska och suggestiva än när de försöker vara stora och monumentala. Jag: Ja, så kan det nog vara.

Je ne comprends pas la hype, certains morceaux sont bien mais d'autres ...

It was fine. No standouts but liked Us and Them.

6/10

Ok

A reminder of the guys that used to beat me up in high school.

Final Pink Floyd already, huh? It was just seven albums ago when I listened to Piper at the Gates of Dawn. This is as fitting an album as any to close out their included discography. It's still crazy to me how one of the most acclaimed and recognisable albums ever came out of complete nowhere. I admittedly haven't worked my way through the 70s albums that precede this release, but with the exception of Meddle I recall hearing that Pink Floyd's early-to-mid 70s discography was shaky in much the same way their post-Barrett 60s albums were. Anyways, I have to admit that I've never been much of a Darkhead. A Mooner, if you will. I respect this album as one of the most popular and revered albums of all time, though I just don't feel it all that much. Not as much as the albums which came afterwards, which I'm aware makes me a stereotype in the Pink Floyd listenerbase. It's been a good while since I last listened to this album, so maybe I'll come away with a greater appreciation for it this time. Here goes. Honestly, I didn't get more of a feel for this album during my relisten - the majority of my time was spent rewinding and replaying the songs that I was writing track reviews for. Still, what an album. Like many of the other prog rock albums of the time, there's a polish and sheen to this style of music which is timeless in a way that little else is. The production techniques still sound futuristic and ahead of the curb, like a lost form of technology. As an album which attempts to encompass much of the human condition, DSotM is irreverent and explosive, but with a tenderness that really brings the material together. The end product is a collection of songs that is remarkably ambiguous - a sound which is about as happy as it is sad, which is just about the best thing this album could be in regards to its mission statement. All of these things going for it, and yet I'm not a prog rocker. Yeah, I know. What a FUCKING cop-out. I just couldn't get into this music the same way I can with the albums that are more traditionally to my speed. Still, it's a good album and I wouldn't dare undercut its significance as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. "Breathe" is both a fantastic opener and one of my personal favourites of the album. The dreary sound captures the bittersweet nature of this album nicely while also fitting with how broad the subject matters are. The songwriting is excellent - easily my favourite aspect of the song. The way that the vocals roll and build in intensity over the course of the runtime is immaculate and is enriched by how effective the lyrics are despite their relative simplicity. This growth in intensity gives the vocals a sinking feeling, which is an obvious, but unique and very well-executed allusion to the experience of coming into consciousness. As a result, I find it hard not to associate this song with the album cover - it captures the feeling of stumbling around in the dark all too well. The instrumental is also good, but I have less things to say about it. The aforementioned dreariness is great (my favourite songs on this album incorporate this general sound), and the bit where the instruments adopt a rougher, more aggressive sound during the final quarter enhances the overarching theme of the song. Great tune. There's "Time". A very good song, but man if it doesn't hurt to listen to. It's too existential for me, which is made all the more real by the fact that I'm sitting here writing about the sweat of someone else's brow and all the more impressive when considering how simplistic the lyrics actually are. Fortunately, I write these reviews for my own sense of fulfillment and to deepen my understanding of music, so how do you like that, vast, uncompromising material universe? More on the song itself, it's great. A little long-winded, but the good stuff lands. One of the best parts are those rough, raw guitar riffs which appear during the latter half of the song. They're pretty fantastic in how burdened they sound, which fits the songwriting like a glove. The verses have a rough vocal delivery that obviously plays into the themes of struggle and upheaval that persist throughout the song. I like the ethereal moments during the bridges, too. They complement the backup vocalists (another highlight of mine) and guide the song along delicately. Overall, a good song. Up next in the highlights is "The Great Gig in the Sky". The first time I listened to this song was through a YouTube video that paired this tune with simulation footage of an asteroid obliterating Earth (preservetube.com/watch?v=zBWbpFz3wac). Honestly, I can't think of a better visual accompaniment. Great song. The most striking aspect of the track is, obviously, how grandiose it is. Those pianos at the beginning are beautiful in how bittersweet they are and are paired nicely with the weary guitars. The moment where the main section of the song kicks in is euphoric. Torry knocks the vocals of this song completely out of the park. A landmark and absolutely iconic performance, particularly from someone who doesn't occupy a front-facing role in the music industry. While I admittedly have a hard time viewing this song as anything other than an interlude, man if it doesn't rise high above the calling. Ah, "Us and Them". My beloved. It's difficult to say whether it's still my favourite song on here given that my appreciation for Breathe has grown quite a bit in the time since I last listened to it, but the song is beautiful all the same. While I'm less enthusiastic about "Money" when compared to this song, I do commend the slot it occupies on the album. It's an effective opener to side B, and I don't think Us and Them would be nearly as effective if it came directly off the back of Great Gig in the Sky. Anyways, the song itself. Excellent tune - everything just clicks. The dreary guitars make a return. The piano is beautiful and elegant. The organ adds a gripping, disturbed sound to the song and the sax makes a much-needed appearance. Excellent lyrics and songwriting, too. Like Breathe, there's a sense of motion to the vocals which is immensely gripping. In the case of this song, the vocals follow a reverberating, swirling motion as opposed to the feeling of sinking, which gives the vocals a surreal, weightless feel that effectively meshes with the instrumental - particularly the confused organs. The choral vocals and increased friction during the choruses are pretty great, too. I like the contrast it creates between the experience of the soldiers and the military personnel. Overall, an elegant and beautiful tune about warfare, and a song I can confidently say is one-of-a-kind. "Eclipse" is a great closer. About as satisfying of an outro as you can get from an album this broad in scope. Once again, the vocals and songwriting carry the piece. The burgeoning, thundering, unrelenting vocals bring the album to a fantastic crescendo that effectively re-integrates many of the sounds and themes from the prior tracks. The lingering heartbeat which loops into Speak to Me is nice, too. I always appreciate when the closer and opener of an album loop into one another. That's about all I can impart from the song, truth be told. I can't bring myself to play it back - it's one of those tracks that I just can't listen to outside of the context it inhabits, even if I'm relistening to it after having just finished the album. Pedantic, I know, but what can I do? Once again, I don't need to consult the book for reasons as to why this album is in here. It's Dark Side of the Moon. One of the most acclaimed, influential and successful albums of all time - easily within the top 5. The number of year and decade-end charts in addition to all of the best-of lists that this album has made it onto is truly staggering. I absolutely and unequivocally cosign this inclusion.

Another canonical rock album- the problem is, the first half is this sparse, spacey, occasional burbling synth and guitar noodling. Very backend heavy with the two songs I think are decent- time and money. It was designed to be non commercial- a listening experience from start to finish, and it crossfades each track into the next throughout, which was a novel idea. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh man this really should have been an album for the weekend. At first listen I’m feeling optimistic about it, but I need to give it more time than a Monday allows.

Αναγνωρίζω ότι είναι κλασικό άλμπουμ και απο τα καλύτερα ροκ, ωστόσο αυτό τo rating δεν είναι αντικειμενικό. Ακόμα και αν μου άρεσε ιδιαίτερα δεν με συγκίνησε δυστηχώς. Money

3.5/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/pink-floyd/the-dark-side-of-the-moon/ I just really don’t care. Shoot me, I guess, but it’s just so boring. I would really like to experience this in the way almost everyone else seems to, but I just can’t understand it. Guess it’s a me problem.

Sit by the fire and smoke music. Some of this collection feels like an acid trip. The background additions and choices make what could be a boring song haunting and deep. Again it is hard to separate nostalgia for me. It’s all connected.

i did like it, but just a little

Several of their big hits, fairly mellow psych rock

I'm not sure what to think of this album, really. On one hand, it's a classic. So many iconic tracks and extremely innovative for the time. No one was doing prog/art rock like Pink Floyd was doing (except for maybe Yes) at such scale and with such renown. But one the other hand, there's a lot of noodling about on this album. This is a personal opinion of mine but some tracks went on for far too long. 'On The Run', for example, did nothing for me. Just noise. I did like how the latter half of the album had each song seamlessly going into one another. I like when albums do that but here it was impossible for me to pick out when songs changed. Anyways, more cool riffs and less jamming imo. These guys would've sounded insane to hear live for sure. And what a memorable album cover too. Hipgnosis was ahead of its time. Favourite tracks: Breath (In The Air), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Any Colour You Like 3.5/5

Hørte mye PF i tenårene. Var forsåvidt fint å høre igjen denne, men kjedet meg litt.

maybe if i listen to it again it will stick but honestly i don't get it.

I mean…

maybe I do actually like prog rock and just hate rock opera

It's great. Just not my vibe.

This is going to be a scorching hot take but this album was just good. Didn't change my life. 6.8/10

Know this album well but not heard for years. Still feel the same. It’s got a good feel overall but no real outstanding tracks. No shine on you…

Interesting, and better than wish you were here. Some of the solos still go on too long. It’s bang in the middle for me. 2.5

Less pretentious than Wish You Were Here, probably less enjoyable to me than The Wall. Way better than Piper At The Gates of Dawn. Still overrated as hell.

Not as much singing as I thought, club vibe towards the end of some songs, some songs were better than others

It's an interesting (but impossible, lol) thought experiment for me to try to imagine/pretend that I'm hearing this for the first time: what would I, now, make of it? But, in fact, I formed, fairly early (by 20s, for sure, if not teens), a mostly negative opinion about this group, and this album in particular. Which a lot of people seem to love. Why didn't (don't?) I like it? Don't love the singer(s), for one thing. Plus, the whole thing is kind of . . . ponderous (like a big, dull beast), and pretentious. The other problem is that at least half of the songs have been played on "FM radio" (classic rock stations) so many times, over the years (only "Money" was a hit, but several others still get played regularly, too) - so the overexposure problem., But, ok, enough of the complaints. I can see that it was innovative, and there are a number of cool sonic elements. And so I would say that I do like it better, overall, now than I did when I was younger. So, I can for sure give it 3 stars. But I don't think I can give it 4. So 3 it is. Curious, as always, to hear what you 2 think.

This is fine. As a musician I used to play shows with once said, Pink Floyd are not nearly as terrible as their haters make them out to be and not nearly as great as their enthusiasts say. I think this is the correct take. There are some nicely experimental, psychedelic moments here but they don't really cohere with the songs, which are (mostly) quite safe and soft rock-ish. "Money" is pretty cool though.

Fine but enormously overrated

Accomplished but weirdly sterile.

Liked it more than I expected.

I’m too sober for this

I haaaaate Pink Floyd but this album wasn’t the worst. Standout are breath & time but songs like speak to me on the run are the worst

A classic for sure, but most of this album is just weird background music.

2026.03.08.

A classic? Really? I mean, it’s fine, good even, but you gotta admit that a lot of this is jamming and noise; when they do add lyrics, it’s not all that groundbreaking. Time is pretty good, but like, it’s not the most intellectual take on the topic of “time gonna keep progressing.” “But the complex themes like greed!” But it’s just a song called Money that features a cash register opening. Guys, come on, be serious…

First time listening to this album and it has some real bangers but there are also some weird and questionable stuff on there in my opinion

Kinda boring HDJWHXHWHXJS Alien like music Mostly electronic instrumental 3-4/5

Great album, love how all the songs flow into one another. Fav is breathe (in the air) and great gig in the sky ofc. Prob wouldn’t listen to most of the songs individually I think it’s def a listening experience as the album.

I have been pretty critical of pretty much every prog rock album on this generator so far, and I fear this is not really an exception. In my opinion, I just think this album is a bit too overhyped. I could appreciate some of it, but I just don't think the beginning or ending of the album is really all that strong. The musicianship is great. Vocally? A bit inconsistent. Mostly good. I'm not really in love with this type of music, but I would never go as far as to say it's bad. It's not at all. Prog rock just isn't a genre I can get into.

2nd Pink Floyd for me. Not a fan. Last one was The Wall and I had a fair bit to say on why it wasn’t for me. I have heard this one before and I have no major complaints. It’s a fairly chill rock album with some interesting bits. I really don’t get what all the fuss is about though.

Even though I did the thing where we all got stoned and listened to this in a dorm room and waited for the "If you can hear this whisper your are dying" in "Great Gig", I find this record overrated, overplayed, and overdone.

6.5/10 - It’s not contrarian. There is a run of songs from The Great Gig in the Sky through Any Colour You Like that’s really excellent. I just don’t love any other song on this. It’s not the best album of all time. It’s not even their best album.

I listened to this multiple times and have tried to really connect with this, but I just feel like I'm missing something. I really like Time and Us and Them, but outside of that it's just fine. 7/10

Obviously a classic but didn’t fully resonate.

I have tried and tried but I just can’t find anything to love. It has moments and it’s beautifully recorded, but doesn’t set my pulse racing.

Do I get it? Yea. Do I understand it? Maybe.

Well, it's a classic, especially if on 'shrooms.

I heard it before. I enjoyed it less this time round. I appreciate it. It's an experience to listen through it. But I'm not gonna pick out random song from it to listen to.

5.9/10

Look, I know that this is a great album. I definitely love Time and Us and Them and a few other moments throughout. It just doesn't click for me and I've tried many times over the years to "get it". I think part of the problem is the sequencing; having On the Run and Great Gig where they are taking up all this time on side 1 just kills any momentum. Never liked Money but starting to dig I'll it a little bit, and the rest of side 2 is cool. Just doesn't hit for me overall. There i said it, The Dark Side of the Moon is a 3 star album.

I get why people love it. It's just not for me.

Speak To Me: 4/10 (PEAK TRANSITION) Breathe (In The Air): 5/10 On The Run: 5/10 Time: 5/10 Great Gig In The Sky: 6/10 Money: 5.6/10 Us And Them: 5/10 Any Colour You Like: 6/10 ??MBPW?? Brain Damage: 5/10? Eclipse: 6/10

3 is not ragebait

I don’t know, something about most of these songs stressed me the f out.

Seeing the album cover alone, I was excited to finally take the time to sit down and listen to a classic and one of the most influential albums of all time. The first two tracks didn't really do anything for me, it's kind of just weird ambient art dudes and nothing lyrically interesting. But then we get to Time and I started to enjoy it a bit more. It's not a 5 star album to me at least, but I did enjoy it and can't discount how influential and iconic it is in music history as a whole.

I guess I’m too normie, or too sober for this. Liked a few tracks tho but a lot were noise to me

Overall 6/10, an okay listen but not something I'd play on loop or even multiple times

It’s alright

😖😖only liked 2 songs

Pink Floyd are one of the big gaps in my “classic rock” knowledge, so I was intrigued to get this. Now I’ve heard Dark Side of the Moon, I like it, but it wasn’t quite the “where has this album been all my life?” revelation I thought it might be.

pink floyd is a classic. really enjoyed this album!! faves: time, the great gig in the sky and money

Really not a Pink Floyd fan and I'm clearly in the minority not loving this album. I can see the appeal and understand why it has such high marks, but it's really not my cup of tea. I appreciated how the album feels holistic, like the tracks are carefully placed and flow together purposefully. Money is a decent track; the rest are kind of droning and a bit whiny. Some other highlights: I enjoyed the use of L/R stereo effects as well as the sound effects on Money and Time, found the vocals on The Great Gig in the Sky grating at times, and the saxophone on Us and Them kind of odd and out of place. Glad to have given it a listen, but I won't go out of my way to do it again.

- love the transitions between songs, album felt like a seamless experience - i also liked the sonic representations of the concepts in the song , eg: coins clinking in "money", clocks winding in "Time" - funky, distorted synth sounds - very alien vibe, fits the whole "dark side of the moon" thing - songs had a lot of mystery - I liked it! but i didn't see a whole lot of replay-able music, n I probably wouldn't reach for this album to listen to on a random day (might change my mind if i listen to it more) - Fav song: Us and Them

Ouch!! I am new to this genre but absolutely enjoyed listening to it as I colored and sketched...such great background instruments played.

It was coming, the pinnacle of what you are supposed to like. Tried to listen to PF over the years. And well it’s never landed. Can appreciate this but don't like it. Maybe it's it's status that seems to leave no apparent area for objectivity, that leaves me not being objective, the reviewers remark that mirrors critics/youtubers etc about if you don't rate this your a twat, isn’t music like all art subjective? I just find it a little dull, it meanders and the track life is the only 1 I really enjoy. This is always what I think of if anyone mentions most overrated in music, that muso elite thing, critics/rapid fans telling you that you have to like. Yeah it can be someones all time favourite (but let’s accept anyone on this list can be someone's favourite) So get off telling me it's got to be one of my all time. It just isn't, it for me, so 3 Star

Wouldn't call it bad, but didn't blow me away. Wasn't expecting it though. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Was a lot of goofy stuff in here, weird money sound effects, long long instrumental parts. Was interesting

Listened to this before, it's a good but you have to really be in the mood for it.

This album is revered as the epitome of psychedelic rock. It experiments with different sounds that truly make you feel like you're experiencing the dark side of the moon. I didn't love the album, but I respect its cultural impact and impact on future albums. 5/10

Very varied kind of songs, some more instrumental or experimental than others

No entiedo el hipe de este album la verdad, lo tendre que escuchar mas veces pero no se me hace lo iconico que es aunque se nota que esta bien hecho

I appreciate a good concept album.

Just like Shakespeare’s iambic pentameter was a reassuring heartbeat, this album is reassuringly warm and womb-like. The clock chimes at the start of Time notwithstanding. Not the best Floyd album. It’s a bit pretentious at times and takes itself entirely too seriously but there is something safe feeling about it.

I thought the second half of the record was more interesting than the first. Favourite Track(s): Money, Us And Them Least Favourite Track(s): On The Run

Yes it is nice to listen to, probably especially when high. Specific parts of specific songs are very good and take you on a trip but I can't rate it any higher because the majority of the album is just "good" imo.

This is most definitely an iconic album and band. It has some great musicians making great music to dose to.

Eh wish there were more vocals

Money

i hate pink floyd but kinda like this one

A lot of hits but not a huge PF fan.

1. zpeak - 0 2. breathe - 3 3. run - 1.5 4. time - 3 5. Sky - 1.5 6. Money - 3 7. Them - 3 8. Colour - 2 9. Brain -1.5 10. Eclipse - 1.5

One of those classic albums I listened to when younger but grew tired of in my 20s. Good of course but it’s not one I ever put on any more.

Never listened to that album front to back. Loved how the songs could be standalone, but bled into each other to present and further develop a well rounded vibe. I really liked the psychedelic, melancholic vibe with added mildly tweaked discussion for the interludes. Would I listen to it again? Maybe way later in the future, not exactly my tempo, but I did enjoy the experience of listening to it all the way through.

I never got Pink Floyd. So I gave this an honest try. Headphones and out for a walk. Full concentration. But I failed. I don’t get it. It sounds like loose ideas stitched together. These are not songs. There is no concept. From the ideas I found like 5% interesting. It‘s produced well. And the voice samples were revolutionary. The cover iconic. I would like to like this, reading the raving reviews here. But I can’t.

warning: cult following of an album. review may be unpopular as i'm not the biggest on this album. it's good! but i don't think it should be on the pedestal that it is. edit: it was worthwhile, but not /crazy/.

really not for me. i guess i see what they're trying to do?

for once, i could almost handle listening to pink floyd

Pretty good rock, not loud. It's not really psychedelic like Ryan says.

Len Houmous always described this album as ‘Wet As Roger Waters’…..he loved that joke….and hated Roger. 3.4 2/10 Breathe (In The Air)

Kinda overrated album to be honest but maybe that’s just my opinion since I don’t understand the time period in which it came out? Maybe it was revolutionary at the time? Maybe it’s just pop culture that took the album and carried away with it? It’s not a bad album by any means, it’s just not this mind blowing record that everyone else seems to make it out to be.

1 connue Son ok uniforme ***

It's a good album, but I think Pink Floyd have other albums that are better. 3/5

-meh

So I’d never listened to this the whole way through before, or if I had it was a while ago and I didn’t remember it that well. You’re always told that this album is in the top 10 of all time, some have it in their top 5, others claim it’s the greatest ever. Do I think it makes the top 10 ever in my opinion? I don’t think I do. This is obviously a fantastic piece of music, and I’m sure that when it was released it was something like nothing most people had heard before. I think that’s where the fandom comes from in regards to this album, and the claims for greatness that it so often receives. I’m not going to sit here and pretend that it’s not a good listen, I really like the progressiveness of the tempo, the relaxed feel, and the fact that you can relate the music to that of losing gravity in a sense. There’ll be many more people who will centre around the concept of the album perhaps, but again I just don’t think I’m convinced by it. And to be honest, I’m not sure that there really even is a concept within the album. It feels like a huge stretch to me to claim that there’s a surrounding theme within the tunes, lyrically wise at least. There’s no doubt in the quality of music, and this is a good album, but I just have too many doubts about being comfortable giving it a perfect score, or even claim that I believe it stands the test of time as being one of the greats. The reality is that I am not sure I’ll be listening to it again in a hurry, and so I just can’t agree with the nature of ranking this as highly as everyone else does, and I think sometimes it’s okay to go against the grain. At least here, that’s what I seem to think.

This project appears to have taught me i like Pink Floyd even less than i thought so i am reaching their undisputed highlight with dread. I could have done without the prolonged intro (speak to me) to reach the actual music, but when we get there Breathe (in the air) is quite a soothing experience. On the run offers nothing musically but i see its ‘sonic’ contribution to the album, but so far three tracks in and only one actual song. Smacks more of pretension than greatness. Another 2.5 minutes of time before we reach the actual song, which in itself is quite pleasant. We are already above the previous Pink Floyd decent song quota which has tended to settle on 1 or 2 (as i already know Money is yet to come) if only the more concepty bits added more to the musical listening experience. That said i didn’t mind The great big gig in the sky, if the conceptual elements were restricted to the bits in this or st the start of the songs i dont think i’d find them so annoying. Unfortunately Money is better in my memory than in my ears as it feels a bit long. ‘Us snd them’ dull and ‘Any colour you like’ pointless. All in all too much pretension for greatness with result middling at best.

Listened to it a decent amount over the years...it is fine. I am not a huge PFer. 2.5/5

Listened before. Liked On The Run a lot as a kid. Made me feel like Sonic. The rest is aight.

the big blockbuster songs like Time Money etc are about as I remember them but the less "song" style songs are actually quite cool! Fav song: Breathe (In the Air)

Krasse Produktion, aber insgesamt überbewertet. 3-4

Some really cool bangers

A really good album, I liked Breathe (In The Air), Money and Brain Damage the most.

Bona merda, qualitat!

Never listened to this. Was okay, but I didn't find it mind-blowing or anything....

This is definitely a classic, but I just do not understand the hype. It just does not grab me. It is rather dull and boring. I never really give Pink Floyd a chance so this was a nice change to fully listen to it. I respect the artistry.

Nisam ničim impresionirana osim Brain Damage. Stvarno sam se ponadala da će me oduševiti. Poprilično dosadno, repetitivno, preinstrumentalno tj. nema dovoljno konkretnih dijelova, WYWH je pet klasa iznad ovog, realno, mediokriteta. Ljude je strah priznati da ovo nije genijalan album.

3.0 rym

Weirdly still has never grown on me. I need to continue to try. Just never in the right mindset

did not listen carefully enough. not my favourite, but definately good/above average.

Only really liked Money

Énorme classique, je me suis régalé ça passe super vite ! Mais pas mon album préféré de pink Floyd

🦄

Not sure I gave this a fully comprehensive review. Probably a sunny morning dog walk not the best place for it. Not enough drugs for one thing.

It was fine. I only knew Money going in. There were too many instrumental parts. I liked the singing parts.

Some gorgeous moments, but I found The Dark Side of the Moon to be a bit ponderous on a first listen, particularly during the instrumental tracks. I think the hype of this being one of the best selling albums ever may have raised my expectations a bit too high, but I understand why someone might love this.

Another concept album?? I think?? I’ve heard a few of these songs before and while I think it’s a “good” album It’s not something I would listen to otherwise. I also fell asleep about halfway through listening but I’m not gonna relisten 3.5 stars

Esta bien de fondo para leer

A classic.

Maybe I just want to see the bright side of the Moon

I like the gay triangle record, but it didn't change my life.

Listened to the album before. It's alright, but I think the art is more memorable than a lot of the music.

I'm less familiar with this particular Pink Floyd album. I had it on my mp3 list so I would hear the tracks randomly, interspersed with other music, but not as an album, which meant that I didn't really like them much. It does work as a full album and I think if I was more familiar with it, I would rate it more highly. As it stands, I like it but prefer some of their other work more. Rating: 3

First three songs were buns Good from time on Intresting concept where all the songs morphed.

It's an impeccable slog, which sounds like one of the things money might described as being.

Yea, fine. It's a great album. But I think I prefer nearly any other Floyd album to this one when I have the occasional itch to listen to some Floyd.

Definitely the best Pink Floyd out of the five I have listened to.

Famous album cover! I've heard of the band and album, but didn't know any of the songs. I thought it was good, I can see why it's considered great, but I wouldn't seek it out to relisten.

A classic, albeit overrated, album. It has its solid moments, but it also has its weak spots. If I were going to reach for some Floyd to listen to, this wouldn't be it. Standout track: Time

pretty good. i’m young so this was a bit dated for me but a few hits on there forsure.

Good music, just not my type of sound or preferred lyrical style.

Repeat listen

Pink Floyd just doesn't do it for me. I don't feel like they're doing anything revolutionary with this album. It's interesting and inventive (I guess for its time?), but not something I feel the need to revisit.

fine

мелодия из звука кассы - это хорошо

Meehelpen not my fav. Only us and them was ofcourse very nice, but knew that kne ready.

Not high enough for this

Not for me to much saxophone

Pretty good.

Good tunes with a lot of pretentious 'meh.

It's a good record. I try every year to 'get it' in the way people go absolutely crazy for it but to no avail. I actually tried a couple of weeks ago but even will a double whammy it still reminded me of when the party gets boring. I will keep trying but right now it's a 3

Classic. Worth a listen. Not my favorite.

A journey of an album that has the ability to convey significance, even in its smallest moments. There is a lot here culturally. I am familiar with nearly all of the songs and I can’t help but picture The Wizard of Oz playing silently in the background. Cutting through all of that, I find myself enjoying a prog rock album more than other prog rock albums of that time. They manage to find a level of modernity that others don’t conjure.

Meh. Intet ekstraordinær oplevelse for mine øre. Fin nok, men en anelse for hypet. Hørt 2 gange, og det er glemt igen idag.

I don’t think I ever got all the fuss with Pink Floyd and I still don’t really. I mean it’s ok but nothing to get all giddy about.

Not listened to much Floyd ever, nor this one that I recall. As album writers I have to give credit where it’s due, this and Wish you were here are really well crafted in terms of variety and flow. However, the songs often have a similar quality and don’t really standout on their own. So the sum of its parts makes up somewhat for the lack of individual shining lights. Which is the opposite of most albums on the list. So it’s a nice listen, and it’s bordering a 4* for great craft; but at the same time it’s not something I’m really clamouring desperately to listen to again. So 3* it is for today.

Dramatic. I don’t see the big deal.

May be controversial but I only enjoyed it, nothing more.

Muita sons aleatórios que não sinto que acrescentou algo de relevante a não ser mais tempo. Mas o som, a música, a voz é muito boa, deveria ter muito mais disso ao invés dos sons aleatórios....

Very good!

Intellectually, I understand the significance of this album…. But I think you have to be in the mood to listen to it.

I would fully expect this album to be on this list as it has been revered since it's release. It's not really my thing and I heard it for the first time only recently. The musicianship and sound are fantastic. Some of the tracks are very good but others are just nonsense.

yes, yes, yes, this is SO my shit, as much as it is not

I was dreading this one. It has a personal connection with someone I loved and lost early in my life. Also its prog and I'm racist against prog. The album opens beautifully, Breathe (In the Air) lagubriously drowns its steel guitar in reverb and leaves you feeling like you're floating on the air. On the Run beats Juan Atkins to the punch by 8 years and I reckon would still make a great 3am interlude at Berghain. Nonetheless it is prog and some of the beautiful engineering and production are overshadowed by boring self-indulgent solos (Breathe, Great Gig in the Sky). I've already commented on the self-indulgence of Mott the Hoople singing about the pressures of fame, and while it feels a bit more believable in the eighth album of one of the biggest bands in history the lyrical themes are still a bit meh. Money's angular 7:4 rythym is smoothed over by a tenor sax solo. The seamless transition to a 4:4 blues rock-out bit is pretty cool though. Us and Them is overwrought and forgettable. Any Colour You Like would have been better without the guitars as another proto-Detroit techno number. I'm convinced Pink Floyd did a number on people by bracketing some good but not great prog with two beautiful tracks at the start and two at the end. Brain Damage evokes a frisson with each verse and Eclipse resolves the album with an almost Beatles like capo. This will probably be the last time I voluntarily listen to this album. I'm glad I did but it's still really painful.

Så bra ihopsatt and det nästan lurar en att tro att det inte är tråkigt.

3/5

Speak to me 2/5 Breathe 3/5 on the run 3/5 time 3/5 the great gig.... 2/5 money 4/5 us and them 4/5 any colour you like 3/5 brain damage 3/5 eclips 4/5

I had an earlier period in my life where I reflexively hated post-Barrett Pink Floyd. More recently I've mellowed so I was looking forward to listening to this afresh to reappraise it. That said I still think most of this is a load of pretentious old nonsense. I don't care for the music and the lyrics are mostly makes-you-think shallow tritenesses. Time does get me, to be honest, and I like Brain Damage, Eclipse and the quotes from interviews which have been worked into the intros and outros here and there, i.e. the parts which Pink Floyd didn't write. (Although the skill of sampling is using the old to say or reinforce the new.) Anyway, three tracks that I enjoyed but overall still doesn't do much for me.

For those who live for guitar solos I can see where this would be awesome. It's difficult to separate the album from 50 years of hype, airplay, media embedding, and fanboy-ism. My difficulty with a lot of Hip Hop is mirrored here - the artist(s) inserting themselves into the entertainment through talking, breaking up the flow of the music, and experimental, non-musical, and dissonant pieces ("On the Run" is a great example), OR making the piece of music about something of the moment (e.g. a revenge piece). If this album came out today, I wouldn't buy a copy. I wouldn't listen to it more than once. My rating is a reflection of the fact that it has become embedded in the culture and thereby gains some value.

I'm probably commuting the 8th deadly sin by rating this one a 3, but it didn't feel super special to me on 2 listens through. The album cover is obviously iconic and has had a huge cultural impact. I think more people know that cover than knows where it's from. I kinda see what the point of the album is, but it's either not really for me, or I need to listen to it a lot more than the time allows on this list Standouts Brain Damage Eclipse 3/5

Definitely transported me to another universe with this. Very storyteller. Unfortunately not my cup of tea.

I can hear how this could be the predecessor of albums like OK Computer. The vocals are way better than everything on 'The Wall.' That said, unlike other albums that old white men get really excited about that were surprising to enjoy (Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits), this ultimately didn't blow me away.

Likely the most tolerable prog band for me, but this was still a bit tiresome in parts. Pink Floyd have better records than this

Some cool ideas here but this isn’t for me. Maybe if I watched Wizard of Oz or something I would feel differently. Probably not though.

Did I need to hear this again? Probably not. It’s fine though.

Some parts are a full hit, but some parts are a bit out of my comfort zone

This was not what I was expecting at all. Way more experimental than I thought it would be.

Not for me personally but undeniably a wonderful exploration of sound and a poignant investigation into what it means to live.

Toll!

ok album

Best songs are On The Run, Time, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage

It’s often hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, so my expectations were sky-high. After giving it a proper listen, I’ve got mixed feelings about it The album's production is absolutely stunning. You can tell a lot of care went into crafting the soundscape. Tracks like "Time" and "The Great Gig in the Sky" stand out, both emotionally and musically. I also appreciated how the band tackled heavy themes like mental health and mortality, it’s thought-provoking in a way that many albums aren’t. The transitions between tracks are seamless, making the album feel like one cohesive journey. For someone who enjoys music that tells a story, this is a big plus. The experimentation with synthesizers and sound effects feels ahead of its time, too. That said, I found some of it to be a bit too self-indulgent. Tracks like "On the Run" didn’t quite hit the mark for me—it felt more like filler than a meaningful addition to the album. I also think some of the lyrics lean into abstraction so heavily that they lose emotional resonance. While I admire the artistry, I have to admit it’s not something I’d listen to regularly. It’s brilliant in parts, but as a whole, it didn’t completely captivate me. Perhaps it’s just not the style I gravitate towards most. I can see why The Dark Side of the Moon is so revered, it’s a masterpiece in many ways. But for me, it falls short of being a personal favourite. It’s worth a listen for its historical significance and creative ambition, but it’s not an album I’ll be returning to often.

Dark Side of The Moon comes preinstalled with your human experience. Not my fav pink floyd by a longshot but it's like v good.

I know this is one of the most popular and seminal works in modern music history, probably music history generally by extension, but I just do not vibe with it. It’s kinda weak and a lot of the writing sounds like it’s been done by children who have just been introduced to poetry as a concept. It’s mostly fine but not my thing

Enjoyed parts of it, then drifted out at others. Sometimes felt like it was trying too hard to send a message with some obscure nonsense, but over the course of the album I feel like it delivered emotion through music really well at times, but again, too easy to drift out of paying attention to it.

Когда-то этот момент должен был настать. «The Dark Side of the Moon». Легенда. Масштабный культурный монумент, отлитый из звука, философии и технического новаторства. Писать о нем — это как пытаться объяснить, почему Мона Лиза улыбается. Всё уже сказано. Поэтому ограничусь исключительно моими впечатлениями. Это концептуальный альбом. Я не слышал его раньше, как, собственно, ничего из Pink Floyd. Поэтому чувствовал себя как человек, который впервые пришёл на выставку авангардного искусства. Красиво, умно, местами трогательно, но то и дело хочется спросить: «Извините, а можно просто на пейзажик какой-нибудь посмотреть?» Да, с технической и стилистической точек зрения альбом очень крутой, а инженерные решения Алана Парсонса до сих пор звучат современно. Но за всеми этими часами, сердцебиениями и философскими диалогами теряется то, зачем мы вообще включаем музыку: мелодия, эмоция, песня, которая цепляет за живое. Единственное исключение для меня — «Us And Them». Вот тут всё совпало: мелодика, атмосферность, лирика. Это, на мой взгляд, единственный момент, когда альбом не только рассуждает о жизни, но и проживает её. Остальное? Да, это умно. Да, это красиво. Но слишком похоже на мудрёный шведский артхаус, который ты уважаешь, конечно, но вряд ли будешь когда-нибудь пересматривать. «The Dark Side Of The Moon» — настоящий памятник эпохе, символ поколения. Возможно, тут дело в пресловутом «синдроме утёнка» — первой любви, которая кажется идеальной просто потому, что была первой. Для поколения 70-х этот альбом стал откровением: он говорил о страхах, о времени, о смерти и одиночестве — а это, согласитесь, темы, которые никогда не выйдут из моды. Для многих этот альбом — часть юности, саундтрек к важным моментам жизни. Для меня же — просто любопытный артефакт. Поэтому, слушая его впервые сегодня, сложно избавиться от ощущения, что ты больше восхищаешься его влиянием, чем самой музыкой.

I've actually never listened to this album front to back before. I can see why it's a classic, even if a lot of it isn't quite my taste.

Lots of padding between two chords. Lots of wailing. Money was good but the rest was a bit annoying. Grandiose prog. Probably the most overrated album of all TIME

Good but overrated

Tunnelmallinen mutta vähän tylsä levy. Elokuvallinen, jopa rock-ooppera, mikä ei ihan sytytä mua, pidän rockimmasta. Mutta ylevyydestä annan silti yhden tähden lisää, koska se liikuttaa mua vähän kuitenkin.

Fine. Overrated but fine. Pink Floyd has done better stuff than this, I'll never understand the pedestal this is placed on.

Great music but you have to persevere through some weird sounds to get there

I'm a little conflicted on how to rate this. I enjoyed listening to it but there are definitely things I didn't like too. It feels to me more of an art piece than a normal album that you would listen to frequently (with things such as extended periods in songs where there is no music playing at all), and that's not really my cup of tea usually. Despite the fact that I think it was very good, it's not an album I can see myself revisiting often, if at all, and I'm not sure if that should affect the rating I give it.

A double album?! Really testing my motivation here. At least I know and (mostly) like Pink Floyd already. I think I saw some show on vh1 when I was a kiddo about their tragic dissolution and I thought "wow, that 'Money' song is fun". so there's your backstory. 'Breathe (in the air)' is a radio hit, or at least it's in a lot of sad movies. I like it OK. It ends very abruptly but I think that's Spotify's fault for leaving a small gap between tracks. The next song sure is a lot of noises, which maybe I would think was more fun if I wasn't in the throes of a constant migraine. For now, not my bag. Then 'Time' starts with even more noises. They sure made a lot of noises in the 70s, I tell you what. Alarms, triangles, creepy clocks, it's all here. Once the singing starts you're so grateful the noises are over! Maybe I should take a nap. But anyway, this song is a bit of a downer. It's fine. 'The Great Gig in the Sky' seemed promisingly mellow until the screaming started. 'Money' is still a straight banger. A classic bop that slaps. 'Us and Them's intro evokes Jimmy Eat World's 'Table for Glasses'. I am ready to weep, Pink Floyd, bring it on. But first, there is a saxophone. Apparently this was a single, but I've never heard it before. Or have I? I don't think I have, but let's be honest, it kinda sounds like Comfortably Numb with a saxophone in it. Which I like OK. 'Brain Damage' is fine. (lol). They say the album title!! They said the thing!! I'm impressed by how similar the two singers sound since wiki tells me this is a different guy than the other songs's guy. Maybe they're just British. 'Eclipse' is a strong ender. And omg, they reference the title again!! We love to see it. The 2nd disk of this album is just live versions, which is not my favorite due to the clapping and general muddling inherent in the medium. And they're probably not part of the original release (?) so I don't need to say any more about them here. But when did that ever stop me?! I did like 'Time' more the second time around (perhaps because I knew the oppressive noises were only at the beginning), and even though live 'Money' had some sax in, it also felt much longer, so that was worse. and hey I know I've given everything a 3 so far, but this is really more of a 3.45, if that helps. I wonder if there's a word limit on these notes...

Classic album. Not always been my thing but love some of the tracks now.

paar gueti sache aber nicht so meins

I wrote a whole review and it deleted it after I submitted it. Oh well, the album was alright. 6/10

paar lieder en en vibe aber nöd so catchy

It's definitely not one of my favourites by Pink Floyd despite some good stuff here.

I like the moody atmosphere of the album, but it's a bit samey and quite slow paced. The only songs I'd heard before from this were "Money", which is the best track on it by some margin, and "Time", which is also pretty good. The rest was just filler though tbh

I can see why so many love it and if I were 19 and tripping it would be insane. But, now, it's just a good psych rock album. Not really for me

this side

Waited for this was one for a while, hoping it would be a revelation that made me finally 'get' pink Floyd. Preferred it to the wall, had a more cohesive sound. There were a few tracks that worked, particularly us and them, and brain damage. In general though it has the same problem as other pink Floyd, it's dad rock with the bass turned up. The guitar parts sound like Dire Straits cast offs where without any interesting lead guitar. It's not bad per se, just underwhelming. In the context of it being this incredible prog rock masterpiece I don't get it at all.

I was probably in a minority being someone in my 50's that's never listened to this album before. It wasn't really what I was expecting, it seemed a bit more electric rather than rock. That being said, it was pretty good with a couple of standout tracks.

What can you say about an album that spent 962 weeks on the Billboard Charts, is 14x Platinum, and has one of the highest ratings I've seen yet on this 1001 site? How about... it's kinda boring? On the other hand, it's a philosophical work - with its message conveyed through a mixture of music and lyrics. (Every other song on the album is instrumental or ambient, till the last track breaks the pattern.) "Time," the best song in my opinion, has excellent lyrics, perspective, and emotional range. You just have to wait 2.5 minutes for the song to kick in. I guess that's making a point, now that I think about it. I do not disparage others for loving this album even though it doesn't do a whole lot for me. It has vision, some degree of depth...it's saying something. But it leaves me wondering why 1000 other albums didn't stay on the charts that long??

Gave it 2 shots because of the cult following it has--idk just not a very fun album to listen to. I know it's not supposed to be "fun", but really I feel like I got 20 minutes of good music and 20 minutes of noise surrounding it. I don't really care if the noise has some deep meaning, it's kinda just annoying to listen to. When the music gets going it's good, and the transitions between songs are so smooth.

Not really my fav Pink Floyd album

Money ainoa hyvä biisi. Ihan ok tunnelma ja yhden kuuntelukerran jaksoi kiinnostaa.

Not a really a Pink Floyd fan, I mean it's ok

Ugh another album that sounds like an alien abduction I'd never listened to Pink Floyd so wasn't sure what to expect. But going by the ratings on here I had high hopes Starting with the bad points - The screeching wailing woman in "The Great Gig In The Sky" ruined the song All the clock noises in "Time" were like nails on a chalkboard. Awful Now for the good points - I did enjoy the male singers voice and the songs without offensive noises. "Us and Them" was a very nice song and I recognised "Money" I liked the chill guitar songs towards the end of the album and how the songs flowed into each other I can't rate this album as enjoyable on the whole because the first half was that bad. Which is a shame because the 2nd half was very good I feel like this album is either overhyped, or the people giving it 5's were high as fuck 3 ⭐️

This is arguably one of Pink Floyd's best albums. Personally I prefer their albums before DSOTM. Fav tracks: the great gig in the sky, Time and Brain Damage.

Always hated Pink Floyd, ever since I was a teenager and people always tried to hype them up to me. While I'm still not a fan, I have to give this album a 3/5. It's overall decently enjoyable with some things that irked the shit out of me. I'm glad I gave it a fair chance decades later instead of just not listening and slamming it with a 1.

Ok.

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. 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. 3/5

Overated? Favourite track: On The Run.

Having listened to their contemporaries on this list, I've come to enjoy it more. Definitely not the greatest album of all time

Just not my thing

Some interesting songs, but overall extremely slow and hard to understand lyrics.

I know they are iconic, but not for me. 3/5

Only meant to be heard while high.

I see why people like it. I am praising this album. But I feel little and journey doesn't hook me.

The 3est album of all time.

IDK....I just don't think it's as great as everyone else I guess. That frickin' song with the woman wailing made my physically angry. A few great songs and a lot of experimental filler.

Borinh

Unlike many experimental albums the quality of production and musicianship hasn't dated, and there are quality songs on offer. On the Run is the only track that hasn't aged well and feels at odds with the epic, sweeping rock band sound. But there's too much noodling, atmos music and muttering dialogue - which at the time made it an experience, but now sounds a bit tiresome. Strip out the greatest hits (which I know is not the point here) and it's a 3 star album. As an album experience, I suppose it still stands up. But I got bored. Wish You Were Here is a better album.

I wonder what Pink Floyd would think if they knew the only song I’d heard off this album was money and I’d only heard it because it was the soundtrack for a winterguard show in 2009

i mean it’s the dark side of the moon. i probably won’t listen again but yeah it was good! fun! would love to go to a laser light show!

Classic. Heard many time before

I’ve gone back to this one over and over, trying to “get it”, but I just don’t think it’s for me. I understand the importance, and I always see people quoting great lyrics online, but it’s just not happening for me. Maybe someday! Also, the intro is so scary.

It's not their best. It is really good tho

This was fine.

Classic Pink Floyd experimental bluesy rock. Not my preferred Pink Floyd album; The Wall is.

I gave this close to 5 or 6 listens. I'm sorry oldheads, I just don't fully get it, is the album good? fuck yes. Is it one of the best albums I've listened to? ehh I don't think so. 3.5/5

Dark Side of the Mid. Alguna cançó està bé però m'avorreix bastant aquest disc ELR: 4/5

An epic rock classic. Time is Money.

Classic car show with dad vibes. I absolutely adore the production on this album, and deff need to pick it up on vinyl. Such a nostalgic album and I’m not even old enough for it to be nostalgic 🤬

Except for Money I haven't heard the music off this album even though I knew of it. I actually really enjoyed listening to the first half up till Money. There is definitely an other worldly feel to it. Time and On the Run remind me of Tron and I wouldn't be surprised if Daft Punk drew inspiration from it.

Okay. Songs too long and too much annoying English talking.

I like it for the most part but not a fan of the jazzy/soul kind of aspects.

The lyricism and production are very high end and almost churchy/etheral with ambiant sounds along with passionate vocals without lyrics. Most of it wasn't too much my cup of tea, but the track Time really stood out with its soothing melody through most of it, describing someone lulling through life. It started with a jarring ringing which kinda takes from it, but also adds? Us and Them was just super well made.

Individual segments of songs were quite nice (instrumentals, production, vocals). But as an overall album the listening experience was not my favorite.

Ok. Jag har försökt förut. Har inte klickat. Man är tydligen sjuk i huvudet om man inte tycker detta är ett mästerverk. Har lyssnat tre gånger denna helg. Varje gång har varit oengagerad. Det är inte dåligt. Det är rätt skönt. Men jag tycker det saknar toppar. Det är ett å samma sound med rätt lika sång (om det inte är instrumentalt). Jättekul för de som tycker detta är ett mästerverk. Jag är väl cp. Följande låtar är sisådär. Speak to me Breath On the run Gig in the sky Us and them Any colour you like Brain damage Eclipse Det blev ganska många. Tänkte att jag "borde" sätta en fyra. Men jag måste vara ärlig mot mig själv. Kommer tex aldrig i hela mitt liv frivilligt lyssna på detta.

Wtf was the start of that album. Picked up after that tho a bit

This is a classic album from the 70s.I give it 3.5 stars.

Good album. Very easy to listen to and is classic Pink Floyd.

classic album

Sometimes I feel like there’s something wrong with me when I don’t love super popular and classic music. It was good don’t get me wrong and if I was driving mindlessly I wouldn’t change it. But I don’t know if I would listen to this to listen to it. I wouldn’t crave it.

The Great Gig in the Sky sounds like when my cat isn't allowed into an occupied bathroom.

3.5 out of 5 money is prolly my fave. Love the transitions and instrumental. I think it’s best to listen to it as a whole. A couple songs didn’t really hit for me but still really liked a lot of songs.

My family has always hated Pink Floyd for just being "noise with no substance," and after hearing Wish You Were Here (the album) I thought they were crazy. However, I'm wondering if they only ever heard this album, because this feels a lot less special. Songs seem to drag and have long introductions for little reason, and while the song topics are intriguing, its hard to take them seriously when you remember that basically the whole plot of the album is "sympathy for the ultra famous musicians," or at least that's what I took away from it. Obviously Syd Barrett is excluded here, but it just feels a bit too much like the band is tooting their own horn here. Its more nuanced than that, but it doesn't feel like it. I also feel that the guest singer on a few of the tracks is extremely cheesy, and ruins the experiences she's on. Its not ethereal to hear her singing, it's jarring. Otherwise, you know why this album is good. Great instrumentals, iconic status to the point of everyone knowing the album cover, in which only a couple bands have achieved that, and there are good tracks here, such as Time and Money, it just feels too self-indulgent to be anything revolutionary for me, and in comparison to some of their work before and after this, I don't fully understand why this is THE Pink Floyd album.

Music wise, this album was nothing special to me. If it held some sort of sentimental meaning to me it would have been more enjoyable, but it was really just another album. It was nice to listen to while working, but I am not going to seek this out to listen to for fun. It also didn’t make me want to listen to any additional Pink Floyd albums, even though I have heard some of the others are better. Maybe I will try listening to when h*gh and see if I enjoy it more?

Honestly, meh. I guess it was groundbreaking for it's time, but nothing new nowadays

I don't know what I was expecting from this record, but I've just listened to it four times in a row and the whole thing hasn't hit me as a seminal masterpiece yet. Perhaps more time is required. Favourite tracks: Breathe (In The Air), On The Run, Time, Us And Them (definitely my favourite track overall so far).

As much as I hate Pink Floyd, this was less painful than expected. Third star given for being under 45 minutes.

Inventive, cleverly engineered. Roger ruins it with his dreary drawl.

- Strong concept album that works much better as an album than as individual tracks. - Discovered that I like "Time," just not the opening. - Also discovered that "Time" and "Money" are both on this album, both have annoying starts, and rediscovered that I do not care for "Money."

I need to listen to this again when I'm high.

Not up to the hype

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

The Great Gig in the sky sau gut sonst in ordnung

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

Oldie but a goodie

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.

It's. . . .fine.

Good, but very different

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.

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.

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.

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.

pretty good, pretty, pretty prettygood

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.

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.

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

Goed maar niet helemaal mijn stijl

величие чувствуется, но пизды за этот альбом мы получим

Melkein nelonen!

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

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).

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

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

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

Bored bored bored
