The Dark Side Of The Moon

Good album? Yeah, sure. THE best album ever? Yeah, not so much. I feel like this is way too overrated. Yeah, I get it, you were young and you absolutely adored this album at the time. It is actually proven that we are most likely to still listen to songs from our teenage years later in life, favouring them over others and only having fond memories of them. I'm just 21 so even if this was my favourite album, I still couldn't have understood what this album meant during its prime, what it offered, or what changes it brought to the industry. That's one aspect of this album I'm not trying to dispute. Music taste is subjective but the influence this album had is undeniably objective. It is for sure deserving of its spot on this list. Since I'm on the younger side I also don't understand the trend during that time period with having such long songs. Maybe my attention span is totally fried but I don't think there is a need for such lengths. It starts dragging on at some point for me and I just start wishing it would end already. Even with all my small critical comments I still think it's a nice album. It's fun having it on while I work or paint or study. It's interesting. You can clearly see it's something new for its time, something daring, and I appreciate that. Great album, but it has a few weak spots in my opinion. More of a 4.5, it's nowhere near the perfection others attribute to it but still a great album.

Possibly the BEST album of all time till now.

Obviously incredible

If anyone gives this less than 4 stars, I don't trust them and their opinion can be discarded forthwith. I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan but this album is incredible in every way. Immaculate.

100% classic album!

You're going to look me in the face and tell me this isn't a 5 star album? Really?

s2

In spite of the horrible fiasco of "On the run", this is an awesome album. Specially if you also consider it as the score of the film. 9/10

Probably the greatest album of all time.

One of the best albums of the 70's, still an amazing listen in every decade since. Possibly one of the best rock albums ever made. It still brings wonder every time I listen to it, brings fresh nuance every time I buy a new set of headphones.

With how popular and iconic this album is I cannot belive i had never listened to it. Now I can say that i get why ir is so hyped.

Sublime!

idc

Perfect songwriting and audio-perfection - definitely one of the greatest albums! Even though not my most beloved Pink Floyd album

Favorite track(s): what is there to say (besides that this isn't even their best album)? Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Magisterial

This album makes me want to be a better person. I don't think I've ever listened to this sober. Unskippable. Goated. Breeeeeaaathe, Breathe in the aiiiiiiir.

It's a classic. Amazingly creative, themes we can all relate to. Faultess

So good

Great album, that everyone needs to listen to atleast once. Everytime I listen I notice something else.

David Gilmore has never played a bad lick.

Gema

If my justification for giving an album 5 stars is no skips, this is a 5 star album. It feels wrong skipping any of these tracks, it flows so perfectly from the front to the back of the album. I've never been a huge Pink Floyd fan, and I haven't listened to this nearly as much as a lot of other classics, but it's a damn good album. The first time I listened to it was after eating mushrooms, watching Wizard of Oz - and honestly, the visuals of that experience have stuck with me since, and it serves as a pretty perfect music video with these songs. Plus, one of the best album covers of all time.

"And then some day you find, 10 years have got behind you. No one told you where to run. You missed the starting gun."

Amazing album.

El top 1 de momento

🎶🌑😎💖

a brilliant album and a masterclass in musicianship. best listened to with headphones in order to get the full experience. highlights: “time” “money” “us and them” “brain damage”

# 1: Speak to me # 2: Breathe (In the Air) # 3: On the run # 4: Time Written like a old mans tale that doubles as a warning for wasting your most precious resource, time. # 5: The Great Gig in the Sky Woah woah woah yeah indeed. Coming off the backend of **Time**, it is very on point to include *"And I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it – you've got to go sometime." — Gerry O'Driscoll, Abbey Road Studios doorman* # 6: Money Yet if there is one more thing as guaranteed as death, it surely is taxes. Money is well a song about money, one for all of the "maybe the curtains was blue because the author liked blue" crowd. As on the nose as it gets. Yet it also doesn't take complexity, obfuscation and countless metaphors to create something of grand artistic value. Heh value. *"Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie"* # 7: Us and them My opinion vs the strawman i made up # 8: Any colour you like skobeloff # 9: Brain Damage Very everybody's crazy except me League teammates

Peak..

This is like being recommended the back of my hand lmao Obviously one of the greatest musical achievements of all time and still holds up wonderfully today. If you haven't heard this yet I really have no idea what you're doing lol

Dark side brings me the light

One of my favorite albums ever

Epic album. I think most people who have ever heard this album can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard it. For me, it was visiting a friend's house in junior high and he had this album on. I had him play it three times over, I loved it so much. 5/5 (not sure how you'd justify going lower than this rating).

This album will never get old

The Dark Side of the Moon is not merely an album, it is an experience, a meticulously constructed journey through the anxieties, contradictions, and quiet terrors of the human condition. This is not the first time I listen to it, and that fact only reinforces its greatness. Even after multiple listens, it refuses to fade into familiarity. Instead, it deepens. Every return reveals new emotional textures, subtle details, and lyrical resonances that feel as relevant today as they did in 1973. What makes this album extraordinary is its cohesion. The lyrics explore time, mortality, greed, madness, and alienation with a clarity that is both intimate and universal. Musically, it is flawless in its restraint: nothing is excessive, nothing is accidental. The production is pristine, yet never cold. Synths breathe, guitars ache, and the rhythm section moves with a hypnotic patience that pulls the listener forward whether they intend to follow or not. Even the simplest interludes, heartbeat pulses, cash registers, snippets of human speech, carry weight. They are not filler; they are connective tissue. These moments give the album its cinematic flow and emotional continuity, proving that depth does not require complexity, only intention. Few albums can make silence, space, and repetition feel this profound. At times, the music doesn’t just sound good, it sends chills down your spine. Criticism of The Dark Side of the Moon often says more about the listener than the record. Those who dismiss it as boring or overrated usually approach it with the attention span of a goldfish scrolling TikTok at 2x speed. This is not an album designed for passive consumption or shuffled playlists. It demands focus. It asks to be heard from beginning to end, as a complete conceptual work. Judging The Dark Side of the Moon as a loose collection of individual songs misses the point entirely. If taken apart and evaluated track by track, it might lose some of its magic, but that’s like judging a film by watching random scenes out of order. Its true power lies in its continuity, in how each piece feeds into the next. As a unified whole, it is greater than the sum of its parts. In the landscape of modern music history, The Dark Side of the Moon stands as one of the finest albums ever created. Not because it tries to impress, but because it understands exactly what it wants to say, and says it with haunting precision. I listened to the "MFQR 1-017" Ultra High Quality Record pressing release by MFSL, and in my opinion it is a marvel, quite possibly the best master and pressing of this album. 9.5/10

An iconic album. It still sounds incredible to me 52 years after its release.

This one is an easy one to review as 5 stars. However, could have done without the live versions - recorded original version is all we need!

Undoubtedly, Pink Floyd's best work post-Syd Barrett. An album that begs to be listened to in its entirety.

Not quite as good as Wish You Were Here but still very good

A perfect album. Iconic album art. Amazing music from start to finish.

Just a classic

Classic!! Songs like Breathe and The Great Gig In The Sky always gave me the feeling of floating in space. Still a great listen. A true Masterpiece!!

10/10 NO NEED TO SAY

Blart Side of the Mall truuuuue

I have heard this album many times before and it was nice to listen to it again. In my opinion this album is a masterpiece, I love every part and song. I love how all the songs blend and bleed together. The vocals and arrangement. It has obvious classics like Money and Time but Us and Them is one of my favorite songs ever. It’s absolutely beautiful and I’ll always enjoy this album!

Floyd at their very best - great gig in the sky still gives me goosebumps.

Revolutionary for its time. A must listen album and inspiring.

Classic. Can never go wrong with this one

Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.

literalmente el santo grial.

i love love love this album. i think it's just such a classic and so well done. time is so good and definitely my favorite along with breathe - 9/10

Experimental, I like. Very ahead of it's time.

Asombroso. Ud and the mi fav por siempre

Already listened to this album, and of course it is 10/10

Severely good- sending me into a spiral

I'm starting to realize that the reason this album syncs up with every movie is because it's one of the most defined narrative and cinematic albums ever

Epic, stirring, uplifting.

Another work of art beyond "just" an album. One of my all time favourites.

A five star album I never need to hear again.

100% Love this album and this band

Probably the greatest Prog rock album ever. Always a great listen.

us and them made them 5 stars for me

kannte ich schon, liebe das album

One of all time greatest albums! 😍 With an absolute highlight with Time, Great Gig and Money

I’ve loved this album for the longest time, I feel like I’d appreciate it more after a few gummies though

Not much to say. Legendary, ahead of its time. Some insane standalone hits while also having a great vibe when listening to the whole album. Love the use of electronics and more ambient sounds.

already listened to it. i liked the songs money, time and i dont remember which other one, solid 8/10

what a journey.

Dark Side is an epic classic from the cover art to the final thump of the fading heart beat. The album holds up incredibly well 50+ years after its release and was an intriguing listen, lots going on. Musically adept, liked how they tied related sound effects for each song. L = (3.4*s) Great album instrumentally. It’s moody, kinda like a rock opera. J = (4.7*s) Forgot how much I enjoyed this album. And it’s albums like this one that get forgotten (lost?) with non-physical music formats and shorter attention spans.

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever made and certainly a must listen before you die. Pink Floyd cranked out a bunch of epics and although some may argue The Wall is their masterpiece, I think this record is more approachable. Their is a life force behind it and the end/finish with the heartbeat is so good. "On the Run" has been a favorite of mine but the whole thing is awesome and the flow is perfect. Dark Side has been so influential and recognizable from the cover to the songs. Everything that went into it was beyond creative, right down to the title. There is even some lore that there may have been some wizardry in the creation. It's thought provoking and deep but also fun. Albums like this one truly set the classic rock era as the greatest time for music. This one ranks up there with Sgt. Pepper for its all around impact on the world...4.6 stars.

Have been looking forward to this album as it has been one of my favorites for so so long. I already knew nearly every single note and lyric of this album from front to back and yet I was still surprised how great it is as I gave it this re-listen. This album is tied to so many memories throughout my life and I can remember so many "firsts" that I've associated with Dark Side Of The Moon. I've loved it since childhood and have realized how much I appreciate it as I grow through each new step of my life. What else is there to say about DSOTM? It 100% belongs in the pantheon of great albums and would be a worth entry for anyone arguing it as the greatest album of all time. Everything about the album works from front to back. It's about as close as you can come to a perfect album from all aspects of execution. There is so much represents its well-deserved long-legacy from the music, themes, pop culture connections (Oz?) and whatnot but for my money it also features the most iconic album cover of all time. It belongs on everybody's shelf from both a musical and cultural standpoint. I could talk about this album forever, and would be happy to do so, but it would be far too long to post in a review. Unbelievable album. 4.75 stars

W album even if you listen other genres, definitely top tier.

I thought this would be a slog for some reason, but I was very wrong! I got real real high and laid down with headphones on, gave it the ol' college try, and I was rewarded with an incredible experience! It took me places!

One of my favorite albums of all time

No notes

One of the most influential records ever. Consistently good across each song.

Listened on vinyl. A timeless classic about the complexities and madness of human life (greed, mortality, insanity, etc.) Awesome.

Hard to believe I was in my 40s before I first heard the entire album. It continues to grow on me with repeated listening.

Probably the best album of all time. Between themes, music, talent, and history, it is one of my favorites.

It’s the dark side of the moon… cmon

When to listen: For the hippie trippy ~experience~ A true no skip album that reminds me of high school, and the great Strong Songs ep breaking down the album

This could very well be the best rock album of all time. I listen to it front to back about once a year and I am blown away by it every single time. It's chilling how good it is.

Perfection.

GOAT Great gig Us and them

Passei o dia ouvindo. Me lembra muito minha irmã. Amo Brain Damage.

I'm not a "Pink Floyd Fan" but this is definitely worthy of all the praise. There is no argument. If you are here giving an album like this a 1 then you, sir, are simply wrong. Just a phenomenal music experience ~∆~

good

First listened. Fucking immense fading between songs. 10/10 I think

Love the euphoric electrical sounds

This was a religious experience and I hate using that phrase because I can’t stand religion, but that’s the only way I can describe it. I’m down on my knees weeping because I’ll never be able to experience this album for the first time ever again…

One of my favorite albums of all. One song leading into the next weaving a narrative that will up end expectations to those new to Pink Floyd. It also creates a self awareness check that helps you appreciate your own life in a new light. Highly recommend.

some of the most iconic, catchy, and accessible psychedelic songs ever. I'm more of a fan of The Wall, but there's no experience like listening to some of these songs for the first time. Money, Great Gig in the Sky, Time, any color you like, ... and more. instant 5/5 when i saw this come up.

What could I say that hasn't already been said a million times.

Simply sensational. Cliches are a cliche for a reason and Dark Side is worthy of all the accolades. Whereas chump ass busters like G. Newman and C. Kopech may think that "Money" doesn't belong--and perhaps they're right--I still like the song. As I've listened to this album for decades now, my favorite tracks change. But listening to Dark Side always is a great way to "tick away the moments" of any day.

now we fucking go. A classic from start to finish. Beam it into space so that the aliens know we're cooking with gas down here.

Perfect album. Great songs and performances. Themes of fear and existential dread. Timeless.

I liked the part when Pink Floyd went to the moon and said, "wow this really is the dark side of the moon."

No introduction needed! Homosexual tetrahedron knows no limits 🌈But all jokes aside, Brain Damage into Eclipse is magical

I almost always choose Animals or Meddle over this when I want Floyd on the hi-fi. Or sometimes it's Wish You Were Here, or a smattering of tracks off The Wall. But, I put this on occasionally. For me, this is like a 4.5. Undeniably an all-timer.

One of the finest albums ever made, one of my prized possessions, the wall is better though fight me on it

If there was a list of albums I wish I could hear again for the first time, this would be at the top. Floyd is one of my favorite bands and this album is a masterpiece. Easy 5 stars for an all time classic

Didn’t even need to listen

What is there to say about this album? Everything about it has already been said before, it's ascended above pop culture and has become this thing that's always been there. Everyone likes it and it gets its flowers on pretty much any platform, including here.

I can tell why this is so eternal. What a great mix of atmospheric trip-space and 70’s classic rock- prog elements. Themes are transcendent.

Absolute classic. Easy 5/5. Nothing more to say than that, really.

Reviewing this seems redundant, so some ramblings: - Alan Parson's contributions are stellar, aptly described as "right on" - I've always hated the clunky and oafish "Money"; fortunately it is redeemed immediately by the exceptional "Us And Them" - "Brain Damage/Eclipse" is as perfect an album closer as I can think of. The prog Abbey Road medley - I felt reckless, so listened to the recent Roger Waters re-do. I do not recommend trying this at home; it's pretty bizarre, featuring doomy mildy-incoherent spoken-word interludes where the instrumental parts used to be, and sombre narrations in place of the songs. If his aim was to claim all the credit for himself it fails spectacularly, serving to highlight the high degree to which Gilmour and Wright were essential to this album (Mason has always been a lazy git) - I went too far and checked out The Flaming Lips/Henry Rollins version. Total waste of time. At least the Easy Stars All-Stars dub interpretation is fun. - I have never seen "The Wizard Of Oz" and have no wish to start now - Prisms don't work like that

Deep into a house party at uni a friend led a group of us into his room, got out his Dark Side of the Moon vinyl and we all sat in the dark listening. It wasn't 1973 (or even the 20th century) and no drugs other than alcohol were involved, but it felt like both those things could've easily been different. It was quite a trip (especially when The Great Gig in The Sky kicked in) and made me appreciate how it must've blown people away when it was released. When I later listened to it in the comfort of my own home, what struck me most about the album wasn't the musicianship, the ticky-tocky experiments or even the strong musical and thematic links between tracks; it was the empathetic way it treats mental health and the human condition in general. The uncomfortably relatable Time followed by the warm hug of the Breathe reprise feels like the listener isn't being chastised, but consoled. I guess I like my classic albums to do a little consoling?

yeah. 5 stars. duh

Nothing I could really say about this album that hasn't been said before, but I'll try and record my basic thoughts. As an intro to prog rock, this is up there. Got me into it from an early age. Just an incredible album. Maybe one of the best ever recorded.

Classic. Would have been a 4 and a bit before the 50th anniversary last year. After repeated relistening's and reading around the making it stepped it up to a full 5. If in doubt, I just have to remind myself of the 7/4 time bassline of Money.

What can I say? Easy top 3 album for me. Each song on their own are spectacular, but has a whole, Dark Side of the Moon is magical. The very definition of a masterpiece and one of the only pure 5 out of 5s I’m likely to hear.

Wait, which one is Pink?

Who knew that a male brit group could evoke so much emotion. even the album artwork suggests that something as monolithic and common as a boy band from england and turn it into something incredible. my only confusion is why DSotM is regarded more highly than Wish You Were Here which is undeniably better

lol Never heard this one, are these guys big? God it's so good every time, such a perfect album.

This is by no means gods gift to music in the way some people who wear a dark side of the moon t shirt think it is, but I must admit: Sometimes there is a reason the classics are the classics. The album is bold, almost brooding, and even feels a little avant garde after all of these years. Of course, Pink Floyd’s style of psychedelic rock has stood the test of time, and these tracks rock while also being layered, ethereal and introspective. Essentially the best of both worlds.

Fucking sick

A great album. This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. It's right up there with Meddle, Whish You Were Here and Animals. I think the band's other albums are great too - I'm a Pink Floyd fan - but these 4 are the landmarks. That's why I didn't have to listen to the album. But this gave me the opportunity to do it again. I also took another look at the story of Clare Torry, the singer of The Great Gig in The Sky. Always interesting, too. 5/5

The lush tapestry this album weaves immerses me in an audio landscape from which I never want to emerge. Musical geniuses.

If I'm being honest I was dreading this album. I thought it would be like hanging out with my dad when he was in a bad mood, but it's like hanging out with my dad and he's in a good mood.

One of the few albums I loved as a kid that I still can listen and actually love. It's really good. I get that they sold out and it's a dorm room poster band but to deny that it's anything short of perfect is absurd. Sure Animals and Wish You Were Here are maybe more ambitious but only because they set their own stage with this. People also sleep on Meddle.

1001 Albums Day 5 The first entry that I've listened to before. As with many of us on here, Pink Floyd was the band that got me into critical listening in my teens, so it's safe to say I've listened this album to death. A thing I find with music you love and have listened to too much is that you stop being able to be objective and find it difficult to quantify. It has hardened in your mind into an entity, instead of a collection of sounds done well, or less so, but I'll still try to come up with some observations about the album. It's been a little while since I gave this album a proper listen and a thing that struck me is that this is almost an electronic rock record, with heavy usage of synths, arpeggios, electronic drums and sampling. Now, Pink Floyd have never been that far from electronic music. I find that their sound was created by the three pillars of Waters's lyrics, Gilmour's guitarwork and Wright's electronic soundscapes, which is why Pink Floyd was so much lesser when one of those went away. Nowadays, me pointing out the usage of electronics on a rock record may seem a bit weird, but I can imagine, at the time that hearing a song like On the Run on a rock record might have been a bit of a shock. I have always loved the midnight sound of this record, feeling black and blue like a moody jazz club painting, spiraling somewhere between rock and funk and 70s pop. Though it seems an ocean away, in terms of development and maturity, it is quite obvious that Meddle was only 2 years old at the time. Currently, the thing you might know Dark Side for is people saying it's nowhere near Pink Floyd's best despite being their most popular album. And while I do get that sentiment, and actually agree with it - I've always been a The Wall and Wish You Were Here kinda gal - I still think the reaction is overblown. Listen, people, we're comparing 9's to 10's, let's not pretend that anything from Meddle to The Wall is anything less that great. Or that anything from Dark Side to The Wall is anything less than one of the best albums ever made. We're literally comparing apples to slightly different apples here. All in all, The Dark Side of The Moon is a perfectly amazing Progressive Piano Rock album with electronic experimentations and one of the greatest and most high-fidelity mixes ever produced at the time. It isn't the deepest, most complex or most difficult Floyd album, and whereas future releases would focus their efforts on exploring a central idea, this album is more sort of idle musings on life, and in that respect, it is perhaps closer to Saucerful of Secrets than The Wall. However, all of that being said it is still one of the best listening experiences in rock history, and when people's biggest criticism of an album is that you did better later on, you know you've done pretty well for yourself. 9/10

What am I supposed to say about one of the most lauded albums of all time?

I love this masterpiece! One of the best albums forever, IMHO. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite groups. Album is perfect. I am very pleased to listen it today again.

I have heard a lot music in my life, in a lot of situations, but somehow Pink Floyd has always taken the cake in creating memorable moments. Or happened to play in those, I dunno. Case in point: when we took the last corner through the forest and before us lay the wide beach of Saint-Michel-en-Grève, low tide, the sun had just begun to warm the air and slowly clear the fog, no soul in sight. Breathe (In The Air) was playing. Was magical.

This album, man.

A pretty much perfect album, as far as I'm concerned. Pink Floyd builds and releases like no other. One of the top albums of all time, and if you think otherwise, you're wrong.

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.

Not the Pink Floyd album I have listened to most in my life (Wish you were here or The Wall), but probably the album of theirs that I like most now. This record sounds really great; it is warm and organic and approachable, even with the fairly experimental bits on it (the loops, the speech snippets, the synths) It's like a blanket. I stuggle sometime with =knowing whether songs are really great or just really familiar; these songs are really familiar AND really great. The lyrics aren't quite as deep as Roger Waters might think they are, but they aren't embarrassing or dumb. The more direct approach makes the emotionality easier to comprehend and relate to. In many ways, this is Floyd's most human record, and the tunes match that humanity. Money, Time, Us and Them, and the Great Gig are all cracking tunes. Each song is pretty distinct, but unified by the warm tone and moderate tempo. (Nick Mason attributes the pacing to his then additional to prescription sedatives -- this was as fast as he could play at the time). I find this a _really_ comfortable, familiar listen, like wrapping yourself in a blanket. It sounds of its time without sounding bad or irrelevant. It's not an embarrassing relic of its time. An absolute classic in my book. Five stars.

This also syncs well with many key episodes of your favorite prestige era television dramas, including but not limited to: Mad Men: Far Away Places Breaking Bad: Mandala The Sopranos: Calling All Cars and/or Join The Club Severance: Defiant Jazz The Leftovers: It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World Deadwood: The Catbird Seat Better Call Saul: Marco Succession: Too Much Birthday Twin Peaks, Season 3 (Choose Your Own Adventure) That's a small sample size, but the length of most of these episodes is almost similar to that of the full album.

The one album from this list that I can talk about with my friends. It's just about perfect in every way. Accessible to all audiences, highly innovative, tons of diversity, introspective lyrics, smooth vocals that aren't afraid to shout or whisper... Concept of life ties the tracks together and gives greater significance and attention. Tracks seamlessly flow from one to the next so well that it's frustrating you can't glue tracks together in Spotify playlists like what radios do. I like how there's a good mix of instrumental tracks and those with lyrics. It gives you space to process what's happening. Nothing repetitive, each track is constantly evolving, allowing the audience to enjoy every minute of the album. There's much to be said about every song, but "Time" and "Money" are two of my favorite songs of the decade. Love everything from the story to solos to vocals. "Money" in particular is one of the 'richest' and most impressive songs I've ever heard. It shocks me how anyone could come up with something as amazing and beautifully complex as this, especially without modern software.

Where on Earth (Moon?) do I start with this record. Listening to it with a more (or less?) conscious mind makes the pure unadulterated musical genius way more apparent. The beautiful sax lines layered throughout, the spoken word, the soulful/choral backing vocals, the ability to start a track deep in the psychedelic underworld and bring it out bursting forth into the clear light of a mid June afternoon in the middle of a botanical garden. Hair stands on end and my heart rate noticeably increases at the thought. Beautiful and intensely layered arrangements that never suffocate, always give you space to explore. A perfect soundtrack to the immense theatrics that only a cloudscape against a crisp winter sky can provide (The Great Gig In the Sky?). Enough allusions to experiences on the astral plain thinly veiled as questionable poetry, what a fkn incredible album.

I mean it’s Pink Floyd

"The record was conceived as an album that focused on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and dealing with the apparent mental health problems suffered by former band member Syd Barrett, who departed the group in 1968." "Breathe" is a really great song. "On the run" is freaking weird. I would be so scared if I listened to this song high. "Time" is also strange for the first 2:30, but in the best way. Then it turns into a mostly normal Pink Floyd song. Really cool. "Money" is great. "The Great Gig in the Sky" is very cool, I like the vocals throughout. Brain Damage and Eclipse are a great finish. Very little I didn't like in this album. Crazy, spacy production.

This deserves more than 5 stars tbh

Don't really consider myself a Pink Floyd fan, as I find loads of their fanbase (and quite a lot of the band's overall vibe, to be honest) a crashing bore. However, I can definitely see the appeal of this record. A lovely clean sound, for a perfectly composed, spliffed-out odyssey. Equally at home, I imagine, on a long dark teatime of the soul, or on a sunny autumnal outing.

A progressive rock classic. Certainly belongs on this list as it helped define how a concept rock album could and should tell a story by using structural elements in the song arrangements and album arrangements that came from the program music of the Romantic Music Age, which was all about marrying music to story. Having said all that, I do not love the album and rarely if ever feel the desire to listen to it, nor is it my favorite Pink Floyd album. That would be THE WALL. To me it gets a 4 because of cultural relevance, but really feels like a 3.75 to me. I celebrate that they did not dwell on extended instrumental solos that often plagued their earlier albums, but TDSOTM songs while keeping the story motifs intact, don't vary enough stylistically from one another in the way that, in my opinion, other concept albums by artists like David Bowie, Rush, and Nine Inch Nails, even ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR by Marilyn Manson do, in order to really experience the entire scope of the emotional range which is clearly the album's ambition. I applaud that Pink Floyd kept the album from being a double album, but perhaps this is one of the those rare times when it could have benefited from being a double album. Being a double album is what allowed THE WALL to cover far more narrative and emotional ground. I would have liked to see them keep the songs tight, but push even further out of their boundaries.

From Time to Us and Them, it's perhaps the greatest 4 song run on any album ever. The rest of the album I've always been pretty indifferent to. But those 4 songs, wow. The Guitar solo on Time is a strong contender for the GOAT. I'm giving this a 4.

A beautifully haunting classic from one of the most influential band ever…. but personally, I lean more toward Wish You Were Here.

The LP - the object itself - is very familiar to me from childhood, but I don’t think I ever heard the entire thing, maybe just track one from the second side and then either I wandered off or the record swapped after the money shot. There are fewer songs than I expected - no criticism. The “you’ve got to hear it as a suite” crowd have a point: it’s a luxurious, pillowy, lie-down and drift-in listen, rich with minute baroque flourishes. Everything sounds clear and gorgeous. The lyrics match Waters’ reputation for pretension, but are tolerable: the big themes are rubbed, but there’s enough concrete detail, slang and chewy narrative voice - samples thrown in, but mixed loud enough to matter - that it’s a hang-out with a group of overgrown students. Waters’ mournful stoner voice doesn’t quite overstay its welcome. Makes me wonder what would’ve been had Can with unlimited time at Abbey Road and Alan Parsons.

Good classic album

This album was very nice to listen to. A lot of interesting sounds and a lot of creativity throughout. My only issue is that there isn’t enough singing. I really like things that I can sing along to, and nothing here gave me that feeling. I do wish I had smoked up before. But it was still very enjoyable.

Eerily beautiful album. There is no doubt Dark Side is one of the all time best albums, even the artwork is iconic. It’s like listening to a descent into the madness of a tortured soul.

I know this is a reverend album and I like most of the songs on their own but listening to the long rock melodies in this way just honestly kind of bored me.

Repetitive melodies, but there was a song I liked

I know this album is supposed to be really amazing, but at first listen it didn't exactly stand out to me, there were interesting textures and nice vocals for the most part so I can't call it bad.

For an album that supposedly changed the game a lot of it was just sound effects? Playlist add: "Time"

-technically very good -still just not my thing-- doesn't get me excited -Money is forever a banger though -Backing vocals are sooo good, most enjoyable part honestly -History of album def makes more interesting-- but if only listening is just not for me

It turns out that I don't hate Pink Floyd like I thought I did. This is not something I would go out of my way to listen to, but if someone had it on, I wouldn't be squirming.

I didn’t realize how much instrumental was in this album. I had never listened to it in its entirety. I enjoyed the instrumentation but 7 minute long instrumentals can take a toll when you want lyrics.

Some parts of the songs are enjoyable and then gets too abstract. I like Money

OK. So… I get that this is a beloved album and all that, and supposedly one of the best albums you can listen to. I listened to it start to finish because of that, in one sitting. HOWEVER… I don't really understand the obsession with it. Like yeah, it is mastered well and the story is neat, but it's kinda unmemorable? Other than Time and the popular opening melody in Brain Damage, I didn't latch onto anything specific here like I did in Wish You Were here. Overall, I can only give it a 3.5/5, it's not bad but I expected way more from the album everyone seems to love.

Probably gonna be controversial but I think it's mid.

Just not my vibe but I did enjoy a couple songs

They really Mars Volta-ed this one.

I wish I could like it. I've tried but this doesn't speak to me. Did like a couple songs... But just seems dated.

I have a weird relationship with this album. When I was growing up in the 90s and getting into music, this was one of those untouchable classics that represented some of the Best Music Ever™ according to adults. But when I listened to it as a teenager, I didn't enjoy it: it was boring, self-indulgent, and not very memorable. Quintessential boomer music that was praised because it always had been. So with that in mind, we'll see how I feel as a more developed music listener... UPDATE: Wow, these dudes really put clock and cash register noises in some songs, called them "Time" and "Money" respectively, and white people were like "OMG GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME." Not saying this was a bad album, I definitely understand how big a record like this must have been at the time. But I feel like we've gotten much better records from PF and other bands since. So while a good album, I'm feeling it's a bit overrated. Guess if you weren't there in 1973 then you missed out on good music.

Not as long and drawn out as I feared it would be. Would be a four but I really hate the laughter they inserted into Brain Damage, which would’ve been the best song on here. Money is a silly song.

This was alright, but I guess the hype had me expecting something mindblowing. I'd probably prefer another Pink Floyd album.

Pink Floyd has always been more or less elevator-music for me. I have to give it three stars only just because of the hits "Money" and "Brain Damage" and the iconic cover-artwork.

It was ok

not my style but i can see why people like pink floyd

A Classic, But Not Without Its Lulls There's no denying The Dark Side of the Moon is a landmark album. Its influence on popular music is undeniable. The album's concept of exploring the human psyche through themes of time, money, and sanity is ambitious and, at times, effective. Tracks like "Us and Them" and "Money" are undeniably catchy and have aged remarkably well. However, while the album boasts some iconic moments, it also suffers from pacing issues. The overall tone can be rather monotonous, and some tracks feel stretched out. The experimental soundscapes, while innovative for their time, can occasionally come across as indulgent. Ultimately, while The Dark Side of the Moon is a significant piece of music history, it's an album that rewards patience and repeated listens.

Overrated

This record is a bore. There’s nothing here that I find very interesting. I feel like Pink Floyd is one of those bands that if you find them at the right time you love - for me, I never got the appeal.

It's probably as good as people think it is. Just for me, it's kinda slow and ploddy. Maybe I just don't really like Pink Floyd ...

Nope

дерьмо даже соушать не буду мне не понравилочт тот и єто

Dog sh1t

Incidental music and nothing more. I dont understand the hype.more emperors clothes I guess

I like WYWH more, but you have to admit this album is really good

Honestly, I never gave this album a fair shake and I regret that now. What a pinnacle for the band and what a sonic adventure end to end. Knowing the impact that this album had on so many of the bands I listen to today shows. Holy Moly an absolute ripper of an album. 5/5 easy peasy.

100

I mean, yea, a masterpiece. Weird, amazingly crafted, engaging story. Some of these songs have been so overplayed we forget how groundbreaking they are. The thing that amazing me most is, how popular this album is. Its pretty weird to have such a large and sustained following. All the stars

Heard this like 1000 times

It's a classic for a reason

The album as an artistic form was invented by The Dark Side of the Moon.

Perhaps no final track is a greater a summation of an album than Eclipse is for this one

Classic

Nailed on classic. 'Nuff said!

øøhhhh easy et af de bedste albums of all time. goat

Difficult to rate objectively after all this time, but their masterpiece

A masterpiece.

Sí tiene el reconocimiento que tiene es por algo. Realmente un antes y un después en tu experiencia de escuchar música. Escuché este álbum antes de dormir y en un punto me costó diferenciar si los sonidos eran producto de mi cabeza o eran reales. Experiencia maravillosa.

Very accessible, very dramatic, very reflective songwriting. Some songs like "On The Run" are low points and gives the album a weaker start, but as a concept album and with each song often flowing into the next, the album always keeps you on the edge. The buildup and resolution all executed very well. Some melodies are overused but it doesn't take away from how great the album is in the end.

Album holds up top to bottom, fantastically chill 5

Trop à dire pour un tel album.

So good that I immediately listened to the entire Live at Wembley 1974 recording as soon as side B ended. There aren’t many full albums that I would choose to listen to multiple times consecutively, but between this and Black Sabbath this list has given us two so far!

I mean DUH

What did you expect? Superb stuff

Not much to say, it is a very good album throughout.

Unlike sonic youth this album is one world never have picked out myself on the simple basis of preconceived judgements and yet what a pleasant experience it is to be wrong. I think I can begin to understand the hype. A journey of an album with smooth transitions and a harmonious blend of melody and vocals. A grin when the climax of great gig in the sky filled my ears.

An absolute masterpiece. Yes, it’s the obvious album, but it is for a reason. Every song is fantastic, even the more abstract pieces that link the songs are sonically brilliant. Pink Floyd’s magnum opus, and rightly so. The perfect album for getting in a comfy chair, selecting your vice of choice, and just immersing yourself in. This really is THE album you need to hear before you die.

Con este pocas dudas hay. Lo habré escuchado miles de veces y jamás defrauda. La que menos me gusta es Money pero en su día fue un trallazo. Portada memorable (Hiognosis), producción soberbia en Abbey Road, Alan Parsons de ingeniero, una planta en Alemania solo para producir este disco que estuvo años y años en las listas (casi 1000 semanas), 45 millones de discos vendidos (el 3º de la historia), la sincronicidad accidental con el mago de oz (The Dark Side of the Rainbow y The Dark Side of Oz ). Un Disco esencial, etc etc. Breathe, te hace flotar. On The Run es un experimento con el EMS VCS 3, como la inicial Speak to me. Time es otra de sus joyas, de inicio a fin. The Great Gig in the Sky es una de mis favoritas (más allá de la polémica autoría de la cantante Clare Torry junto a Wright). Money abre la cara B. Es un pepinazo, por su reconocible inicio, ritmo y su despampanante saxo. Us and them me parece excelente, con un sonido espacial y seductor (saxo incluido). Da paso a la instrumental Any Colour You Like (con sus efectos y disonancias, pero muy disfrutable), y esta a la dulce Brain Damage (dedicada a Syd). Cierre memorable con Eclipse. 5/5.

Un álbum buenísimo con voces increíbles, solos de primera y transiciones que se quedaron en la memoria colectiva.

This is one of my all-time favorites.

A truly great album. Rightly held its place in the album charts forever. Feels like I’ve listened to it a thousand times before but it’s still fresh and meaningful. Love it! 5

Listening to this during my E-Learning at work made it a spiritual experience

Listening to the 50th Anniverary remastered vinyl. Perhaps the Greatest Record of All Time!

Gran album, de los mejores de la historia

It's Dark Side of the Bloody Moon. Nuff said!

Best rock album of 1973. Best album of the 70s. Maybe the best album from start to finish in rock history.

Perfection on a disc, only overshadowed by their next release......they had been honing their sound for years, Meddle is another great album, the second side hinting at what was to come, but it is still shocking that Floyd managed to produce such a timeless record (all this discovered later on).........I can still remember hearing it for the first time at my girlfriends house, on an 8 track stereo system, top volume, the heartbeat opening pulsating through the empty semi dark room, which was set for breakfast for the following day as it was a large victorian guest house by the Welsh coast.....surreal to be surrounded by rows of empty tables......I'd never as a 14 year old ever heard anything like it, it being the first time I'd heard Floyd, and the record had only been out for a few weeks so it was in the period it was released in......this, Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra all sent me on a musical journey of exploration that continues today, more than 50 years later.....

Used to be one of my favs. Can't listen to anything Roger Walters related anymore. No doubt it's ine of the greatest of all time thought and what can I add that has never been said about this album?

Incredible. Foundational album for who I Am

groovy I get it

5/5 stellar experience all the way thru

I mean, this is a classic for a reason. The Dark Side Of The Moon is an all-encompassing journey of life, realization and human emotion. Breathe creates an ambiance I liken to waking up or coming back to the present moment. Time, Great Gig In the Sky, Us and Them, and Brain Damage continue that grandiose sentiment and encapsulate a sort of raw realization. I love the female vocalists' contributions to this track, and the rest of the album too. What a work of art this album is. Favorite Tracks: Breathe Time The Great Gig in the Sky Money Brain Damage

No One Told You When To Run, You Missed The Starting Gun 1001 Albums Generator 338 (8/30/2026) This was perhaps my first "favorite album of all time". By the time I'd heard this, I had heard enough music to feel like I could form an opinion like "favorite album of all time". Now this is probably only my second favorite Pink Floyd album (behind Animals), but that doesn't mean it's not perfect. It's a mix of prog rock, space rock, and psychedelic rock that is all about going insane. They even play with some really forward thinking electronic elements on the instrumental On The Run. The lyrics of Time hit like a truck and that song also features one of Gilmore's finest guitar solos. Money has that absolute classic blues rock riff that was every guitarists introduction to 7/4. Us And Them and Great Gig In The Sky have these amazing, soulful female vocals that transcend this album sonically from just another rock album. And the two part closer Brain Damage -> Eclipse is a beautiful capstone. What is there to say about this album? It started Pink Floyd's golden era in the 70's redefined what a rock album could be, and found 4 of the finest musicians of all time firing on all cylinders. 5/5, obviously. Favs: Breathe Time Us And Them Least Fav: On The Run

Cuando empecé a meterme en Pink Floyd escuché muy seguidos The Wall, WYWH y este, y TDSOTM siempre me pareció el peor de los tres. Quizá lo sea pero hoy me ha entrado espectacularmente bien. Es un disco increible.

Oficialmente he madurado y me gusta pinkfloyd

Masterpiece

to me, this album is one track.  i don't feel as though i can separate the songs from each other and that's a real accomplishment as far as i'm concerned.  even though i can take or leave most pink floyd stuff apart from a song here and there, this is a great example of what can be done with the album format.  it was already in my music library and that's all there is to it, 5/5

Svårt att ge nåt annat betyg

En av musikhistoriens mest perfekt sammanhållna produkter

Classic album, albumens album etc

What makes a masterpiece? Whatever it is David Grimsby, John McLohan and Billy Gilmore found it on their 1984 album The Prism. Gathering up the pieces from their balearic past, the band whent into their intergalactic Swindon studio with a clear motivation – money. The rest is, as they say, economic history.

Not even afraid to say it, I think this is the greatest album ever made, this is like my 4th time listening, no album feels like such an experience like this one does, the way each song flows into each other, and the meaning of the songs with the strong song and lyric writing, time was the first song I listened to from this band, and it captured me because of the strong lyrics, and this whole album just captures such a strong a feeling, I love money, I love time, I love us and them, this album is timeless and perfect

Favorite songs: Speak to Me, Breathe (In the Air), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, Eclipse

e z

Listened to this dozens of times over the year. Clearly it's one of the highest regarded albums on this list and in pop music in general, but I really do think it delivers on its hype. I read one time that the songs and progression of the album is supposed to mirror the various stages of life, or at least the first half of it. From the heartbeat intro --> On the Run (resembles the chaos and exhaustion from going through day-to-day life/work. It's go go go till one day....boom...it's all over) --> Time (it waits for no one) --> Money (greed and ambition will consume you) --> Great Gig in the Sky (read that they told this lady to just sing like you're experiencing the act dying, which is dope). Then, the other half of the album takes on the themes and experiences of mental illness (Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage); something that they took seriously due to their history with Sidd Barrett. Anyway, what an excellent album. I can put this on anytime and enjoy every track.

I mean, c'mon. This one's easy for me.

I mean…legend. Fantastic representation of what it sounds like to create a musical journey with an album. Everything about this record has already been said. Take my five stars.

これは、昔にどハマりして何回も聴いていたアルバム。 流石に通しで聴くべきなアルバムで、ストリーミングサービスを利用して聴くときと、レコードプレーヤーを利用して聴くときはまた変わってくる。 timeからmoneyまでがやっぱり印象的で、注目されやすいけれどB面も完成度がしっかり高くて、アルバムを通して完成度が揺らいでいないというのは素晴らしいことであると思う。

I have nothing new to add, it really is a masterpiece. If I did have any minor quibbles with it, sometimes I skip On the Run if I'm not in the mood, but otherwise, yeah, amazing album.

Issa classic

Album was amazing,10 out of 10

Finally, some British music that's worth listening to. This is a fantastic album with great vocals and instrumentals; I especially love how each song blends into the other.

Sometimes you've just gotta sit back and let pink floyd take you on a ride to the dark side of the moon. With seamlessly flowing songs that embrace a relaxed and soothing atmosphere, I don't think you'll experience much turbulence on this journey.

Really quite good.

Excelente

okay.. for sure

Pink Floyd really is in a genre unto itself without any peers that they can be judged against. If you like them they are a 5, and if you don’t like them you’ll never appreciate what they were doing and they’ll always be a 1 for you. I get that, it’s fair, I feel that way about of lot of the utter trash on this list. But Pink Floyd will always hit with me.

08/21 Legendary classic of an album. Not a single bad song on it. A true work of art

Love this album, up there

One of those albums that has really grown on me over the years, perhaps aided by Dub Side of the Moon (which is incredible). Can't fault it.

It’s like getting high without doing drugs

Sort of pointless trying to say anything about this album that hasn't been said a million times before. I haven't listened to it in full for years and I don't think I ever appreciated how weird it is. Thinking in the context of psychedelic rock, imagine how trippy it was hearing these disembodied voices in what sounds like interviews. I don't want to look up what they're from, but it makes such a huge, operatic album feel so intimate and personal. I'm realising now that the subjects for the album are so bafflingly simple. Life, getting older, money, death. It's like making an album about oxygen. But still, it's resonant and it's meaningful and it has such an emotional weight. Great Gig in the Sky and Eclipse stood out on this listen. What a beautiful album.

Classic album already in the collection and highly rated.

Sales would indicate this is a TOP 10 album of all time. Maybe it doesn’t quite reach that status with me, but it would at least be close. Great album!!!

Listened to this on headphones for a change. It is impossible to describe how good this album is. The songs and sounds and emotions you hear are off the scale. Deserves to be on this list 100 per cent. I don't think its the greatest album of all time but it's close to perfection.

I can't find a single bad thing to say about this album

One of the best ever

I mean duh.... in my top 10 of all time - wish i could skip it and go to the next album.

Aangenaam, afwisselend, tijd vloog voorbij

Solid start to this project! This album is a classic in every way, shape and form and listening to it front to back is an experience like no other. No one ever did it quite like Pink Floyd did. Standout tracks: A Great Gig in the Sky Money Time

It's power is undeniable.

Brain Damage

Well what is there to say!? Timeless classic which I heard a thousand times and never gets bored. One of the most perfect pieces of music in history.

Review - truly great album, only two things to mention. 1. It's very funny that Great Gig In The Sky has an improvised vocal line by a lady who has to sue them for 30 years to get paid and get a writing credit, and it's immediately followed by the track Money. 2. I really didn't need to hear Time today. Score - 9/10 Need to listen? YES

Very rarely do musical acts achieve what Pink Floyd achieved with The Great Gig in the Sky: the lead up to it, the raw, powerful vocals from Clare Torry - incredible. That alone would have warranted a high score for this album, but no they had to go ahead and be even more iconic with Time, Money, Us and Them etc. I know that Pink purists probably would not put this as their best album, but I think it would be slightly pretentious not having this at least in the top 3.

I wasn’t gonna listen to this because I’ve heard it so many times but I did and I’ll give it five stars. It’s not right to not give it five stars. Kind of a perfect album.

Love this album. I want to watch the TCM synced up version of Wizard of Oz again. Such a trip. 5/5

Day 6 This gets better with time and that's a fact. See what I did there? TIME? No? I'm sorry Fav track: Us and Them

10/10. I think that is all I need to say. Top song... Money

A classic.

Easiest 5 ever.

beautiful

What can I add about this album - everything has been said. As albums go, one of the best, most creative and innovative albums of all time. It's quite refreshing than an album that's, in principle, not that accessible, still can be this popular. There's hope for humanity.

Jeden z tych perfekcyjnych albumów

Earlier Pink Flord had senseless dissonance and chaotic noises seemingly without purpose. This album was a huge improvement.

This album has surpassed being a cliché. Whether it's the cover art on a T-shirt, or the audio content, or the artwork from the original vinyl, or some part of one of the many special editions since - this thing has staying power. As a cultural phenomenon it defies understanding. I know all this. I continue to be a huge fan. I can't tell you whether this is my most-played album of all time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. DSOTM's following is so strong that many artists (including what's left of Pink Floyd) have been known to play it end-to-end as a live set. Regardless of where the band members went bad afterwards, this is an undeniable masterpiece. Is it wrong that "Time" was my wake-up alarm for many years? One last thing. If you get the opportunity to hear the quadrophonic mix that Alan Parsons put together, on an appropriate surround system, do so. It's a beautiful variation of this already near-perfect work.

Understandably goated album - I think this was one of the first prog rock albums of its era that I had ever listened to, and as I listen to it more, it gets better and better.

Masterpiece 5/5

Very possibly the greatest rock album ever made. Innovative unique recording techniques and excellent musicianship. Thoughtful sensitive lyrics and a nice psycedelic sound. Alan Parsons as the engineer was a big plus.

If I have to choose an album to listen forever, it’s gotta be this one. There’s something in this album that changed me, it made me realized I was chasing the wrong passion, I forgot that I really like music, and I want to do nothing but make and help make music. Favourite song: Time “…good manners don’t cost nothing, do they?” I keep using that quote to this day.

Loved Brain Damage !! What an amazing track !

Unbelievable vibe. Pink Floyd uniquely sounds terrible in a rotation but is unbeatable when listening through a whole album.

One of the best albums ever put out!

This album got it all. A perfect start, a truly epic ending (yes, a correct use of that word for once), great guitar solos, a kaleidoscope of keyboards and synthesizers and perfectly placed drums. It's a masterclass in production and a delight to listen to. Simply one of the best albums of all time, in my opinion.

Obviously 5*. A different score here should be disqualifying.

I just really don’t think there’s anything I can add to what everyone else has already said. It’s a perfect album. It’s an experience all its own no matter how many times you’ve heard it. I could listen to it every day, probably. Must-listen #384.

Five stars. almost comtemplative

i love pink floyd – kinda overrated tho

One of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. Every song is iconic but my favourite would be Time. The lyrics about death and time passing by are crushing but beautiful. I think almost everyone can relate to this song. Money is another amazing highlight on the album with its strange time signature and unique sound effects on the intro to the song. Someone asked me what’s the best 3 song run on here. Every time I listen I have a different answer. One day it’s Time, Gig and Money. Another days it’s Any colour you like, Brain Damage and Eclipse. One thing the question did confirm for me is that there is no wrong answer because every song is perfect and so is this masterpiece of an album.

Banger

a classic for a reason. set the bar for psychedelic music and concept albums. upon another repeat listen, only slight qualm is that the back half of the album doesn’t quite live up to the grandeur and epic was of the first half.

It’s Dark Side of the Moon.

One of those albums where saying pretty much anything will be beating a dead horse that's already been beaten mercilessly for 56 years, and it's already decomposed and people are continuing to beat the ground beneath it regardless. While it's not my favorite Pink Floyd album (I prefer Animals and Wish You Were Here), it's still a flawless album that is honestly pretty unique sounding. Whereas later albums are more focused on tighter tracks, Dark Side of the Moon breathes and vibes a lot more. Take a song like The Great Gig in the Sky (Honestly might be my favorite song on the album). That's just vibes and passion throughout. And yeah, while it's not my favorite Pink Floyd album, unless you just flat out don't like Pink Floyd (Which I'll begrudgingly give some leeway on), anyone who sits there and claims this is an overrated album (especially in relation to their other albums) is trying way too fucking hard, and needs to be trying harder (Similar to hating on Nevermind by Nirvana. In Utero is the better album IMO, but Nevermind is still fucking amazing). This is a transcendentally amazing album, and so ubiquitous to the modern music landscape that claiming otherwise is just outright stupidity. Don't really got much to say other than that, and I guess this is my contribution to beating the ground beneath that dead horse. Just a perfect album.

Great album! Ahead of its time!

Nothing to add on this front. I can see it deserves its legendary reputation.

An album that sets the standard for what we mean by that term. Not just a loose collection of music but a cohesive whole, with the music flowing into one another, telling a story, a salient rollercoaster of emotion. Sometimes with gut punches of lyrics, sometimes with no words at all. Its reputation is well deserved.

Iconic. Amazing. I never tire of listening to this, and happily listened 2 times all the way through.

Oh. Dios. Mio. He sido iluminado.

I know this makes me basic, but this is a top 5 album.

First Listen Favorites: Us and Them Time Any Colour You Like Honorable Mentions: The Great Gig in the Sky On The Run

Hands down one of the greatest albums ever made. The run of songs from Us And Them all the way to the end is just so special. Oh the memories of listening to this album late at night in high school with friends.

clASSSSSSSSSic

Top album of all time!

Classic

Fucking spectacular. Such a great feeling when an album with so much reputation completely lives up to the hype

This is a perfect album. From the instrumentation to the vocals (all the vocals) to the lyrics to the sonic world it creates to the album cover to the reputation to the final moment, this is a perfect album. 10/10

5/5

You know, I once saw a comment on YouTube that said " if there is a meaning to life, its hidden somewhere in this album" and that comment has stuck with me to this day I could write on and on about how much I love this album, but its already been said so many times I cant imagine a human with a soul that would listen to this and dont like it This album made me love music and has changed my life in so many ways 10/10 , the greatest album ever

I have been waiting for this. One of the best albums of all time. One of the flashing signals that I should marry my wife of 35 years ago was that both of use had two copies of DSOTM - one for playing and another for archival purposes, never to be played. So when we got married, we had four copies. I suspect my kids each took one, because now I can only locate two...

Perfect.

This is a piece of art! My favourite from them is The Wall, but this one is objectively one of the best records in the history of mankind. Very dreamy, very innovative for the time, and it just flows beautifully. For everyone that doesn't recognize this as one of the best records ever, you are mad. You can dislike it, but you can't deny its greatness. This is a 5 star record, no doubt. Oh yeah, and again, of course, fuck Roger Waters.

I shit on prog a lot for being pretentious and boring and although I don’t really want to listen to any of this again, it’s a great album and gets a very reluctant 5

I know this one well already.

indisputably an amazing listening experience, such a dynamic album
