just don't like pink floyd very much but this album clips along at least
Sure, why not.
Je suis pas fan du fait que Robert Dimery mette plusieurs albums d'un seul artistes dans sa liste, mais après tant d'albums complètement osef, je suis bien content de tomber sur du Pink Floyd (je crois que c'est le cinquième album, ça fait beaucoup). Et c'est du Pink Floyd, quoi. Plus accessible que certains autres albums, mais toujours recherché, toujours riche en belles mélodies, je me le prendrai un jour en dur, celui-là.
Classic
Nailed on classic. 'Nuff said!
øøhhhh easy et af de bedste albums of all time. goat
Some really good tracks on this album, liked it better than the wall
Best of the Pink Floyd so far which apparently we can’t stop getting
Fin
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
This was actually my first time listening to this entire album in one sitting, which was surprising since I had never done that before. Of course I was familiar with most of the songs on here. There were a couple that I didn't recall hearing before but it is just such an artistic masterpiece. It's great. I personally don't care for the keyboards much. I don't like the full psychedelic keyboards but the guitar work and the other instruments are just absolutely beautiful. Lyric-wise it's great. Vocals are great so I actually may like this more than The Wall. Great album
The sound feels very immersive, and like you're being taken with them, and the sounds are very unique within the album, it almost feels like you're in a movie experiencing the finding of a jewel in Indiana Jones. Also, something about the vocals is so addictive; whatever drugs they were on really worked. Also, hello, the transitions I didn't even notice the change from Time to Great Gig in the Sky until I heard that iconic build-up.
Trop à dire pour un tel album.
Je suis dans l'espace. Je flotte. J'entends des voix et du synthé. C'est chill. Je m'endors. Mais du coup... je n'écoute plus.
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.
Basic bitch rating
I liked Time, rest were creepy
It’s pink floyd
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.
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.
There are times when I wonder if artists were successful because they were good, or just because they were first. Listening to this album, I think Pink Floyd lands closer to the side of first. The novelty of clock sounds or cash registers just doesn’t have sticking power over 50 years later. The music is fine, but much like the last Pink Floyd album I had I think this is music for people who want to think they’re better than listening to show tunes, but act like musical themes and flowing songs are unique ideas that can only exist in a rock and roll album. Just overhyped and a touch pretentious.
Arguably the single-most recognizable album of all-time. While it's not Pink Floyd's greatest work, it is still one of their better works, and has some phenomenal stand-out tracks such as Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, and Money. TDSOTM has been a classic prog and psychedelic rock since its release, and holds up to this day. Favorite Song: Money Score: 88/100
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
Immediately I enjoy how the album is nonstop, with each song seamlessly flowing into each other. Diverse sounds and genre mixing, which are awesome. Rock, dance, jazz, wacky sound effects. I’m hearing a dark energy mixed with bouts of lighter energy. The lyrics are heavy — especially “Time,” talking about how fleeting moments are in life and how time can be taken for granted. Bouncing back between intense moments of anxiety and relief. It goes up, down, up, down in terms of the vibe — over and over. Ugh the transition from “Us and Them” to “Any Colour You Like” is incredible. Hmm, that was a great album. A little too heavy for me, but I see the appeal and understand why it’s a masterpiece for its exploration of genres and themes such as mental illness, life and death, greed, violence, regret and helplessness.
Listening to the 50th Anniverary remastered vinyl. Perhaps the Greatest Record of All Time!
WOW
thought this was gonna be overrated but it met my expectations
Classique mais c’est à cause du logo
Gran album, de los mejores de la historia
This wowed me less than Wish You Were Here. Takes awhile to get out of neutral. The best song is The Great Gig in the Sky and it was unfortunate to discover that Clare Torry was screwed out of proper credit/royalties until she sued them. Also surprising to see Doris Troy appear on here.
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.
Money is good, Time is good, but the rest I don’t really like! I feel uncultured for not understanding the cult worshipping of this one. Just felt like a lot of noise with some good stuff occasionally tucked in there to me. I really went into this ready to be blown away (maybe that was part of the problem).
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.....
Strong 4, quite epic
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
Classic
groovy I get it
i listened to this in high school. i understand why it’s a classic. now i can wear a pink floyd tshirt without being accused of being a poser.
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
Honestly the most overrated album ever. Hated it ages ago, was dreading getting this album. Wanted to go in with an older mind, still hate it. Self indulgent, pretentious, wannabe ‘art’. The fact this is one of the top rated albums on here too blows my mind. Gives you an idea of the users on this site.
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.
nice
This must have been mindblowing in the early 70s. Still kinda impressive, but a little overrated imho. Some good music, not a huge fan of the vocals. Definitely more cohesive and better than the other 'concept album' I listened to. Will never forget when I listened to it for the first time at the planetarium with the visuals. But for what is supposed to be a transcendant experience, it never quite gets there for me how it should. Just pretty good music. 7/10
Oficialmente he madurado y me gusta pinkfloyd
Masterpiece
I got about 5 seconds in, and was blasted in the face by "Oh, I've definitely heard this before". One of the albums I heard often at home as a kid. Very good.
Listened to this album in my car with a broken ac instead of my usual Sennheisers. I experienced a lotta sounds and tiny easter eggs. Like the best at the first track was the ending on the last track. Breathe in the air was soo nice to hear yk. And the next track where I heard train approaching, the vocals of the singer and stuff then came the time track where at first it was like my alarm went off or like a 10s of alarms went off, but like then I understood ok iv heard of this before. Then I just knew the next track would be great gig in the sky which I discovered back in 2021 I think while tryna select a song for a post for my cousins instagram. Anyways some songs were over 6 minutes which is kinda adverse for my depreciating attention span but I was patient and i got through it. No complaints even tho I don't understand what's like the GOAT opinion on this about cuz i didn't feel like it. It's good it's nice i heard a lotta new sounds, textures but that's about it for me. Music is definitely subjective but yeah I will have to liste n to this one again with the headphones.
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.
first time listening to pink floyd... didnt even know they were a band, but its GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!! so much life put into this album... favs are "Time" and "Breath in the air"
-progressive rock -nice introduction -build up to main chorus
Speak to me - na Breathe (in the air) - 4 On the run - 3 Time - 5 The great gig in the sky - 3 Money - 5 Us and them - 4 Any colour you like - 4 Brain damage - 5 Eclipse - 4
I 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.
woahh woahhh woaaaaahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh oooooaoaohahah
Like one of the songs but only 1 part of it
i only like 2 songs so i cant give high
Issa classic
Album was amazing,10 out of 10
I always avoided Pink Floyd based on the kind of kids that were into them in the 90s. This was actually very enjoyable, if at times over-indulgent.
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
Não preciso de palavras
6/10 not really my vibe
I’ve never consciously listened to pink Floyd . My dad wasn’t a fan and I never did enough drugs to organically find my way to them. I’ve caught a bit through being British but have not listened to an album all the way through. That said, I do dig this. Weird, complex, yet still quite listenable. Kinda reminds me of Tyler the creator in a weird way (he seems to be to rap what PF are to rock.)
Cool. The long songs merge together to make the album one big experience. Probably not an everyday listen for me, but a background listen on long work days, perhaps.
Love this album, up there
Blart Side of the Mall in which Paul Blart Mall Cop perfectly syncs up with this album
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.
I wanted to like this more. Listened it to a few times but still don't really get it. There's some good songs here but mostly they're lost in a sea of alarm clock sounds and analogue noises.
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.
Otherworldly
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!!!
Need to listen
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.
this is ok! pink floyd is not really my jam but i understand why it blew folks' minds.
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
Muy bueeeeno, tiene temones
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
Full of hits. I've got to be in a much more chill state to tolerate all the instrumental tracks. Skipped most of them on my listen today because I wasn't feeling it, but they're not bad.
It's power is undeniable.
Brain Damage
Heard before?:✔️ Will listen again?:✔️
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 wanted to do a dark side of the rainbow listen so i wouldnt just be hearing this for the xhundredth time but the only way to stream was mgm plus and the library was closed... i guess its my favorite pink floyd its fine... fave moment is thensession vocal on great gig in the sky. will always fondly remember unpacking a collection with a curator and they were trying to ID a print and they went "should we google 'breathe in the air'"
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.
Decent listen
Definitely a couple songs I didn't know were form this album! Like Money. Quite theatrical.
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.
High highs, but boring lows.
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.
you know I listened to this a few times in middle and high school, did the wizard of Oz thing etc etc and never really loved it. but it's quite an easy listen and I honestly found it much more enjoyable than expected. of course it's a classic but I wasn't sure how much of that was boomer nostalgia and hype vs how much was merited
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.
Not my fave Pink Floyd but some iconic songs ofc
3 out of 5. I can see why this is a classic and all, but I think they have better albums elsewhere.
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.
ojee meer pink floyd ik weet ze zijn legedns maar het is gwn niet echt mijn muziek
echt heel goed, maar niet beste pink floyd album
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.
For my money, the closest thing there is to a greatest album ever made. It checks all of the boxes: commercial success (tens of millions sold, stayed on the top charts for literal decades,) critical acclaim (still finds itself in the top 5-10 albums lists over half a century later,) and a lasting legacy (among the most influential releases when it comes to atmospheric anything, huge universal themes that listeners connect to instantly.) I would say that the one thing that takes away from Dark Side of the Moon is that only about half of the tracks are full songs. The rest are interludes extended to full-length songs, so the album takes a little while to get going and to end after that absolute all-timer of a middle section, which holds all the gold at the end of the rainbow depicted on the cover. Seriously, "Time," "Great Gig," "Money" and "Us and Them" all consecutively is among the best sequencing I've ever heard on an album. The production is also virtually timeless, with only minor tweaks and adjustments having been made over the past several decades. Pink Floyd's legacy is made and broken by this album, and no amount of Roger Waters' political stunts and Gilmour-less redux albums will ever take away from this album's immense legacy. A Voyager record in itself. Key Tracks: Breathe (In the Air,) Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage
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.
só a versão do Lanari pode ter 5 estrelas
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
3.25. I don't get all the fuss about this album.
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.
People have written better songs than The Dark Side of the Moon, but no one has created a recording that *sounds* better or more expensive
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.
Twas ok little overrated
Would like if I was drugged up and from the 60s Money is good
Another classic, classic 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.
A space journey with earthly baggage.
I know this makes me basic, but this is a top 5 album.
why is the best song here the one with the least listens
Am I heretic for thinking this album is pretty meh? At least I know the names of all the songs that get played ad nauseam on classic rock radio now.
Hopefully we’re done with Pink Floyd albums after this
I remember this being way more interesting

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
Is it a masterpiece? Undeniably. Is it a pivotal moment for music production? Absolutely. Is it good? Of course. Is it perfect? No, not quite. This album is so good at its core, but the overproduction in some places, while it keeps you hooked, makes it hard to give this a 5.
(Decent 8/10) A pretty good album, it's got a great flow and provides a satisfying holistic listen. It is a tad overrated to me, but I honestly get why it gets the praise it does.
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.
Not sure it lived up to the expectations but nonetheless still good. 4/5
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
As an album, this is one of the more cohesive albums I've ever listened to. Quite good with some really great tracks.
I know this one well already.
indisputably an amazing listening experience, such a dynamic album
One of the greatest albums ever recorder. Not my favourite PF album, but it is a breakthrough of cosmic proportions and its influence cannot be denied. 5/5
This album is so ubiquitous people still hit new t shirts of the cover 53 years later. This was transformative and it must have sounded like it was from absolute out space at the time. Nothing else like it.
This is a perfect album
Si no hubiera sido por esta página, nunca me hubiera atrevido a escuchar este legendario álbum. Lo digo porque siempre pensé que sería de ese rock que a mí no me gusta, pero qué bueno que lo escuché y me equivoqué. No hay mucho más que decir, por algo es histórico.
It's as good as they say, Great Gig in the Sky is my favorite track.
Overhyped but still a fine listen
Quite simply, one of the greatest albums of all time. I can go back and listen to it from start to finish, all these years later. A classic.
One of the easiest rankings on this list (even if it isn’t their best album).
it was good, defo not the best oat
Sunday, 27 July, 2026 This album is so good it doesn’t even belong on the list. Its album cover is even better than every other album cover!
Wait ..what? I get to listen to Dark Side of the Moon? 🌙 #albumsky #musicsky
Breathe (In the Air)- I love this song. This songs kinda sounds to me like when people get high for the first time (comes from a person who had never been high) On The Run- The start makes me feel like some kind of hacker collecting informations for spies, and this is the dramatic part of the movie with really intense atmosphere.-> this thing sounds like its from a movie, it's cool, but I would not listen to it on a daily basis 5/10 Time- I usually am not a fan of long intros with no singing in them, but in this song for some reason I do not mind at all, because it fits the vibe so much. This also makes me feel like I am in a spy movie. 8/10 The Great Gig in the Sky- lovelovelovelovelove it sooooo much it holds so much emotions and feelings and the power of the voice is just unbelievable 10000/10 Money- That has such a vibe, it is really cool. I like the lyrics. 8/10 Us and Them- This songs is so beautifully peaceful but yet somehow it has a seductive vibe to it at the start. I love the saxophone (i hope it is saxophone) part. 9/10 Any Colour You Like- For some reason in Pink Floyd songs I just do not mind the long intros but in other songs it is making it so boring, not their case though. Okay so it was not just an intro, but I actually liked it. I do not look for only instrumental music, but in this case it was really nice. 6.5/10 Brain damage- I love this song so much, it has such a vibe and it is just so amazing. Incredible. The lyrics are so cool. 9.5/10 Eclipse- So far it sounds really cool. Almost like a yearning song. Speak to Me- uhh idk?
oh yeah
Een plaat die objectief goed klinkt, maar mij nergens echt weet te verrassen of te pakken
God wat is de hype voor Dark Side Of The Moon terecht. Het is een meme dat deze plaat tienerjongens bekeerd tot het zijn van een muzieksnob en misschien is dat mij ook wel overkomen. Wat ik zeker weet is dat dit album nog steeds indruk maakt als ik het nu voor de 100e keer aanzet. De manier waarop briljante tracks als Breathe, Money, Us and Them en Brain Damage in elkaar over lopen, de abnormaal heldere productie en die albumhoes... Perfecte plaat.
it's a good album sir they have better ones though
I'm not sure whether to rate this in the context of all music, or in the context of Pink Floyd, so I'll just explain the difference. DSotM, when looking at music as a whole, is a pretty good album. Especially Breathe and The Great Gig in the Sky (but not Money, that song actually kinda sucks). This album honestly kind of sounds like the sensation of being high. If this was the only Pink Floyd album I'd heard, I'd give it a 4. Now, onto the context of Pink Floyd. I simply think DSotM is actually just a really average Pink Floyd album. Animals and Atom Heart Mother are better albums. Those are a 5 and a 4.5, respectively. I'd give this 3 stars in the context of Pink Floyd as a whole. Anyways, if we had half stars, I'd go for a 3.5, but since we don't, I'm going to round down to 3.
Absolutely perfect
The same issue I have with prog rock Anything that I like is buried in things I don't
Franchement, si cet album n’existait pas il faudrait l’inventer. À titre personnel, je le trouve magistral ! (ce qui est certainement dû au fait que j’ai été biberonné au son de Pink Floyd)
this is what the void sounds like to me. space and time exhibition in its finest form favorite song: time
5*. I love this album, ever since I was introduced to them by Jim at uni. Back then I was a metal only guy, and thought anything that wasn't heavy wasn't worth my time. The ignorance of youth I guess. We used to listen to this album late into the night, chilling on our salvaged sofa, drinking cheap spirits and eating budget frozen pizzas. Happy times. There's not much else I can add to the reviews here. Every track is an all time classic. Great gig in the sky is my favourite, with the session vocalist Clare Torry nailing an iconic vocal performance in 2.5 takes and £30. (Luckily she was compensated in court later on in life)
A captivating album, but the tracks don't really stand out on their own. The only individual track I would listen to again is "Money".
Pink Floyd is so boring.
One of the greatest albums ever made. 5*+
10000/10
Unequivocal classic that is an enveloping and warm musical bath.
4/7
Perfect
yeah pink floyd are a good band
Lots of albums are said to be groundbreaking. None of them are as groundbreaking as this one. Everything from production quality to atmosphere to being unlike anything that's come before, this record is amazing
Near-perfect album from a near-perfect band
Don't really have anything to say about this album, it certainly is one of the greatest of all time. 9.1 from me.
Classic
Look, I love killing sacred cows as much as the next guy, but this is one of the most popular albums of all time for a reason. It hangs in the balance of pop rock mastery and nihilism, god and the devil. fear and bravery, being young and being old. It's never corny or boring, and I've never found myself growing tired of it.
Obviously a very good album and I don't really feel the need to write too much about it. I could see how someone feels lukewarm about it though. One of the most varied albums of its time, while still being thoughtful and well-executed. Brain Damage was my favorite.
chunky and epic. feels longer than it is. maybe if i was blitzed it'd feel like i was seeing across the universe; as it is it's just great. Time through to Money is a terrific bit of music. solid 4
Rating: 10/10 Deserves every bit of popularity, acclaim, and historical recognition it has. Possibly only influenced and matched by King Crimson in terms of the first iterations of conceptual soundscapes in the form of the musical album? Basically nothing like it before. It starts a little slow with its opening minutes in introducing the album, then from Time on it's pretty much perfection. Favorite songs might have to be Us and Them but the ending of Brain Damage and Eclipse is glorious. Seamlessly flowing and there's a lot of depth, but it's still extremely accessible and it's a must to go back and give TDSOM a listen at least on a yearly basis
I had never actually listened to this album start to finish. Every song has been heard on the radio though. What can I say? It’s a masterpiece.
so good, such a solid listen straight through. listened to it 3x through … reminds me of my childhood
Solid 4+ some incredible tracks and moments, really works all together as well, fuck maybe just 5, so many 5s recently. Eat while it's hot
Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list 5/5
I simultaneously think this is an excellent record and this band is overloved.
Of course I own a copy of this epic. I first heard this as a teenager and I didn't get it, I felt it slow. Then I heard it up against The Wizard of Oz, and then I heard it a couple of more times and all of a sudden this rock is a lot like jazz. By today, just staring at the album art is enough for my brain to start the gears, screams, and disoriented instrumentals that make up the first few minutes of Speak to Me and Breathe. Today I gave the wiki a read, gained context, and now with its new light, it has become an even more profound piece of work. Thanks to the generator I've heard The Madcap Laughs, which definitely makes the ending a little more sad. The band he was in did indeed start singing different tunes. For me, this record has always felt like an ancestor passing on important information, a lot of it far more abstract than we'd expect to be ready for. I think that's just musical intuition, having an idea and a feeling that go together, to later see how that feeling represents a larger scheme of things. The con of this album is only that it's so heavily referenced that it makes it difficult to understand properly in pop culture. Giving this an occasional listen on different spaces provides depth that you wouldn't necessarily 'get' if you haven't been exposed to the sound already. 4.8/5
Already listened.
I love amazing so good delish
not listening to this i heard it and didnt like it i mean not now but i heard it
A really good classic rock album. I know of the band and heard of the album (but mostly seen the album art) but never listened to it myself until today. Its a lot softer and slower than I was expecting. Having a live B-side is something I always enjoy as well. No songs stood out to me they were all good and easy to listen to and I think I will have to listen through again to see if there are any that I want to keep coming back for.
I love it now more than ever.
I can't really be insightful about DSOTM because it has all been said. It's got staying power.
Easy five stars. It's everything a concept album should be
Я так і не зміг полюбити Пінк Флойд. Можливо, винен в цьому образ аудіофіла-чоловіка років під 50, який з піною на губах розповідає про велич гурту і що оце справжня музика, а не оце все ваше бринь-бринь гітарою. З іншого боку, складно не визнавати велич гурту з такими альбомами. Ну і звук тут, це просто феноменально.
Класика, але не мій улюблений альбом ПФ, тому поставлю 4.
Arguably one of the greatest rock albums of all time.Taken best as a whole rather than via individual tracks DSOTM is a profound meditation on existential angst and the trappings of modern life. It is one of the most influential records in rock history. David Gilmour's lead playing here is legendary.
I've been listening to this album (all Pink Floyd albums actually) in the last week, and now it appears here - what a coinsidence! This one is amazing no doubt - smooth, well-balanced, and man these transitions between the songs and inside the songs. Ooooh my
Gonna have to agree with one of the comments - if you don't like this, you're just being a contrarian, soz. Sort it out. Easy 5.
Rate: 100/10. Breathe (in the air), The Great Gig in The Sky, Time, Eclipse, es loco pensar que todas están en el mismo album.
ya lo escuché jj, de los mejores discos de la historia
Dreadful, like I always suspected.
I don't think I've heard this album since I lived in Winston-Salem and my mom plopped me down in the dark with this on CD and Wizard of Oz on the TV. I was always far more impartial to The Wall as a kid, but I remember liking this one quite a bit - all I remember is Money. Breathe sets the tone perfectly. This is probably gonna be good as fuck lol. Love the organ and the vocals on the hook. I LOVE how each track just rolls into the other one. On the Run is super fucking cool - it sounds like someone on the run. I like the strange sound collage shit they have going on. Ended up falling kind of flat though. Wiki says each half of the album reflects the 5 stages of life (very obvious from the names, for the most part). 4. Time is so fucking ominous. In more ways than one. Oh yeah I remember this song. Damn. The lyrics are really good. Oh they're really really really good. "And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older. Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. " 5. Holy shit. Money sounds fresh to this day. Always enjoyed how the money sounds were pulled into the rhythm for the intro. Isn't this when Wizard of Oz goes into color? (it is!) Us and Them is a nice change of pace. I like when the vocals start. Very obvious anti-war song? There must be more to it. Ugh I love when they pull these speeches and samples in it's so fucking COOL. Love the echo on the vocals, the last verse sounds incredible. Dude this album fucks. I got distracted by that song ending and didn't realize we moved to a new one. This one is cool, very funky. Brain Damage feels like a continuation of The Great Gig with the singer coming back. Obviously about Syd Barrett. I don't want it to be over! I really don't. The last two songs rolling into one another was such a nice way to wrap everything up. They made a fuckin masterpiece didn't they? My god. Again, I'm a sucker for any kind of art that deals with the concept of time and how finite life is, combined with the complexity of the human experiences, and how our actions and choices shape what that finite time will look like. The content of the lyrics and the concepts chosen are addressed and written about to perfection -there was not a single line that felt corny or unnecessary. At all. The instrumentation is probably perfect. You know you've done something right when I'm tearing up at music with no words (Great Gig, the intro to Breathe, so on). Obviously everyone is playing at top form, but the way they've gotten their instruments to *sound* compliments the compositions in perfect harmony. Fuck and the vocals. Waters and Gilmour both sound excellent... I think I'm just a bit more impartial to Roger Waters' performance (very alight and airy), but the two don't sound too dissimilar. It's gotta be a 5 man I can't help it. I'll always prefer The Wall though. THAT is a fucking album. It does fall flat A LITTLE towards the end, but I mean shit it's a 43 minute album. Favorite: Time Least: On the Run Shoutout: Breathe, Money
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.
i love the transitions, the ups and downs of the ablum it feels like one continous song speeding up and slowing down the final song is beautiful i love the feeling of the first song
One of the best of all time.
-oh my god it is finally time. what a fantastic album. completely deserving of every ounce of praise it gets. such incredible atmosphere, instrumentation and vocals, every song is good and the instrumentals carry just as much weight as the “main songs” -i will be listening to this continuously until i get to know every song really well. yeah did i mention this album is good -Favorites: Breathe (In the Air), Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us and Them
i love this. ive listened to it. i fucking love this. so much its amazing
One of the best albums of all time, if not the best. Everyone should listen to this before they die.
Heard it a few times but this time it clicked more than before
yeah
Super Dope
Me: "I am going to listen critically and not giving its 5 stars for granted" Me 2 milliseconds into the album: "Nah, nevermind, it's five starts already"
This is your sign to drop acid and sync this album up to Paul Blart Mall Cop 2
This is a great album in many ways, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a favorite album. It isn’t my favorite Floyd album, but it is a masterpiece. I also love that the album was engineered by Alan Parsons because it most definitely is a technical masterpiece.
I hold these two opinions at the same time: 1. The Dark Side of the Moon is overrated. 2. The Dark Side of the Moon is a 5/5. It's an amazing album, but I do not understand why people rate it above The Wall, which I consider to be the great Floyd album. I'd possibly even consider Wish You Were Here to be on par with The Dark Side of the Moon.
GOATest album of all time. This is my 967th listen and I still enjoy it as much as the first listen. Every single track is a banger and it’s seamless start finish.
Actually one of the greatest albums ever recorded. People will be listening to this in 300 years
nao ha oq dizer apenas sentir
fucking goed all the way through. werkt alleen als album wel echt beter
Best: All Worst: N/A
I mean
I like a lot
Another masterpiece that I can listen to time and time again
Their second-best album. Favorite Track: Brain Damage
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
i still vividly remember the first time i listened to this album, years ago.
No tengo palabras, simplemente es una obra de arte
Le moment où le concept "d'album de musique" a atteint son plein potentiel.
A fantastic album, listened to it many times before. I’m a big fan of Pink Floyd in general anyway. Although The Wall is and always will be my favourite album of theirs
An experience. A masterpiece
Very psychodelic
Great highs (money, time). Suffers from being too popular, doesn't sound unique. Doesn't push the boat too much, they were capable of so much more. Its a fun album, a little boring some times and a bit annoying at points.
I’m a simple man. I see dark side of the moon… I give 5*
What more can be said about this album that hasn't already been said? Probably nothing. It has sold 50 million copies, been reissued countless times and remastered and re-released multiple times. The artwork is one of the most iconic of all time. The music is known to virtually everyone. This album marked the start of the British band’s most successful period. In terms of production, it was a quantum leap for the band. By the time this album was released, they were global stars. Admittedly, it's slightly overrated and not even the band's best album (not even their second best), yet "The Dark Side of the Moon" remains a constant companion in my musical life and a milestone in rock music.
8 из 10
Not much wrong with this classic album, although I prefer to listen to Animals.
Contender for the GOAT title. Flawless, timeless masterpiece.
where palatable bluesy prog(?) rock peaks in my mind I'm so used to this album that I'd easily rate it a 4/5 if asked, but listening to it loud enough I realise that isn't right
The Wall was a bad introduction to Pink Floyd for me, this was a far better one. Lush production and very pleasant to listen to, but there is still something missing here to push it to a 5 for me
Chef's kiss. 5/5
Every time I listen to Dark Side I decide, again, that it is NOT overrated and is one of the most beautifully human pieces of art I know. Us and Them is the standout. Just a gorgeous, immaculately written/performed/recorded/engineered reflection of the human experience.
I always cry listening to this album because it is just so beautiful
some parts are really epic and majestic
I mean yeah sick album obviously, I think its a high three for me almost a 4

I really enjoyed this album from start to finish. Very peaceful.
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
