The Dark Side Of The Moon

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.

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).

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

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.

Absolutely perfect

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)

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)

One of the greatest albums ever made. 5*+

10000/10

Unequivocal classic that is an enveloping and warm musical bath.

Perfect

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.

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

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

I love amazing so good delish

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.

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

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

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 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

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

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.

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

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

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

I tried listening to this while watching "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo", but it didn't line up at all. 5 stars.

Pink Floyd isn't really my jam, but it's a pretty epic album.

One of the albumiest albums of all time. Builds such a lush, complete (other)world in so little time. Untouchable!

One of my faves ever.

One of my favorite bands of all time. So this one is an easy one for me. 5/5

When I started seriously record collecting this was the first record I spent real money on, and began my collection of first-pressings. That's to say, I have heard this album many, many times lol. I did take this chance to pull out the vinyl and listen to it properly, and god it just sounds so good on the original vinyl. I don't listen to Pink Floyd often, in fact I'm pretty sure the last time I listened to this album all the way through was in 2024 when the total solar eclipse was visible in Detroit. I was working downtown at the time and I ended up leaving my building (against my manager's wishes lol) and watching the eclipse in its totality from the sidewalk with a bunch of strangers. I had been listening to this album leading up to that moment, and let Eclipse play out loud while I passed my eclipse glasses around to all the people passing by who didn't have them. The city was silent for a moment when the temperature dropped and it got dark enough for the streetlights to turn on. This re-listen definitely brought me back to that moment. The other thing I must mention of course, is Great Gig in the Sky. The song that made me want to be a vocalist, and pushed me towards the style of music I ended up being trained in. Everyone who knows this album should know Clare Torry's name. She was only 25 when she was paid 30£ to sing about death without using words, and she never really got the recognition for how iconic those vocals became.

Undeniable masterpiece. The Floyd's first major concept album explores the various stages of life, from birth to living to death and back to birth again, creating this neverending cycle which allows the album to be listened to again and again. Everything is just so on-point, filled with gorgeous production and heartfelt composition, and I shall never tire of the opportunity to revisit this iconic piece of music. Forever a 5 star classic. Favourite track: Us and Them Least favourite track: N/A

One of my top 10 most listened to albums in my entire life, beautiful songwriting and powerful and virtuostic instrument playing that alternates with spacey synth based sections. Should be listened to front to back without anything being skipped.

A masterpiece. Nothing more to say.

I mean it's an obvious 5 stars

4.54

5.0 - Awesome

One of the Top 10 albums of all time

AMZIIIINGGG album, listener before

"There is no dark side of the moon - matter of fact, it's all dark" And here is what was once my favorite album in all the world, at least until they released "Wish You Were Here." I listened to it twice today, for the first time at all in quite a while, and had a great time with it. I tend to think of DSOTM as something I've heard SO many times and therefore am no longer really interested in anymore, but there is so much interesting stuff on here. The combination of the simple piano and the great vocals on "Great Gig in the Sky”; the cacophony of clocks at the beginning of "Time”; the synthy stuff on "Any Colour You Like”; the lyrics of (and singing along with) "Brain Damage.” Even "Money," which I figure everyone at some point has got sick of, has good stuff in it. Though I’m still more interested in “Wish You Were Here" and "Animals," I found this to all be good. I just need to take a break from it every couple of years in order to remember how to appreciate it again.

Evergreen 🤩

Más que un álbum, es un viaje introspectivo y una experiencia sonora obligatoria. Un disco perfecto de principio a fin

Timeless classic, a brilliant album with a very intense sound.

Top favourite albums ever!

I was considering giving this 4* but I can't bring myself to do it. It's such a fantastic album, I felt completely immersed. Hard to pick favourites because it all just runs so smoothly as a complete album. I think it would be hard to listen to the tracks individually.

Uno dei miei album preferiti

I’m 17, heartbroken, confused, laying on my floor. 5

Verzwllt e story und übergäng sind wieder fascht unnoticeable Checke aber d story nöd Hett nöd viel lieder wo ich separat lose wür, eher als ganzes guet

Monster album that I listen to a couple times a year into eternity. Time is among the greatest of all rock tracks. Big fan of Us and Them too but the whole package is where its at. An album as good as it has been popular.

Eh, if I don't feel this is a 5 star album, then what would be for me? It's a classic for a reason. Tight concept album with great productive and really interesting tracks. Probably a bit overhyped and marginally overrated, but still a 5 for me.

Amazing album, 10/10. Musical composition that covers psychological state of the individual in the post-industrial world.

ik hou van de instrumentale vibe en de boodschap was eentje die ik op dit moment echt nodig had - namelijk het leven heeft geen eindstation en zowel negatieve momenten als positieve momenten zijn het leven dus er is geen hemel of mooiere plek die je kan bereiken in je leven alles is hier, maar dit betekent juist ook dat je deze gevoelens moet opzoeken en jezelf ook moet uitdagen om de volle vruchten van het leven te proeven

I don't think anyone can genuinely listen to this completely, and claim it isn't an influential and unique album. Easy five stars!

another relisten. what is there to say that hasnt already been said? this album is iconic. i love the art, i love the sound, i especially love the vocals, extra love to the choir and guest vocalist Clare Torry on The Great Gig in the Sky. ive been listening to this album since i was very young, probably around 5 or 6. itll always have a special place in my heart. favorite tracks: Breathe, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Eclipse

5

One of the greatest albums of all time. I think that Pink Floyd understood the idea of making a great album.

Never listened. Am I being a progger in my 50s

One of the greatest album ever. Just Money spoiled the flow of the album. It should be exorcised from the list.

surprised by how much I liked this album. spacey vibes

Masterpiece.

Pink Floyd!

6/5

The album you've heard so much that you might be tempted to rate it below other Pink Floyd albums just to be difficult ("Wish You Were Here" is a strong contender for best Pink Floyd album). But this album has held up over the years because every song is so well placed. "Time" is my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

Some parts are definitely overwrought and sound clunky now, so maybe it’s 4/5, but I’m feeling generous.

I don't think I can review this album like I've been reviewing the others, it does have some good standalone songs, but the strong point of it to me is the journey it takes you through all together, it's a musical masterpiece and one of my favourites of all time!

It's Dark Side of the Moon! Perfect album, no notes.

Classic for a reason

Favourite Songs: Time Money Any Colour You Like

I wasn’t sure if this would stand up to my memory of it, but it totally does. Absolutely brilliant.

I feel lame rating this 5 stars, cause everybody does. But after listening to it start to finish in one sitting for the first time, I see why everybody rates this 5 stars....

alto album me gusto

The best. Calms me every time.

Favorite Track: Any Colour You Like Least Favorite Track: Speak to Me

Fun listen. I wish I had a cool boyfriend who showed me this album but I just showed it to myself

This album spent a massive 741 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 from its debut on March 17, 1973, through October 8, 1988. This is the longest unbroken run in chart history. Pretty remarkable for a reason. Classic.

The transitions between the songs are flawless, while the lyrics address various pressing social issues. It kinda makes me feel that irony and sacarsm are precisely what help us survive in this society. My fav tracks are Us and Them and Brain Damage, particularly the way they juxtaposes the lunatic and the ordinary people, a truly absurd contrast. Ofc there's more than that, but let yourself find out.

I lowkey forgot how much of an actual cinematic journey this album is. I liked it way better than I remember. There's a reason this one is canonical.

Unlike anything I’ve heard. Flowed really well, really cool instrumentation. Understand why it’s so highly rated- lived up to the hype!

What sticks in my mind most about this Lp is how atmospheric it is and how the first track sucks you in while the last spits you back out. It’s honestly so great and each re listen I find new things to gush over. I completely understand why this is one of the best albums ever made. Fav tracks: all of them

Definitive Pink Floyd/70s experimental rock

One of my favorite albums and artists of all time. Damn near perfect. ❤️

Easy one.

one of those perfect albums

No notes - insane, progressive, beautiful

I have many albums that I would say are 9.99/10 - absolutely amazing, love them from start to finish, but not QUITE perfect. This album gets a perfect 10. In my eyes, it is the greatest record of all time. The seamless transitions between songs make the entire record feel whole and part of one story. The lyrics are beautiful and thought-provoking. The instrumentals are mesmerising. The vocals are the perfect fit for a record like this. I am not surprised in the slightest that this is one of the best selling records in history.

Etwas peinlich dass ich das davor noch nie gehört hatte

Pink Floyd does an amazing job with atmosphere. It literally feels like floating through space listening to this album. On the run is awesome and feels like I’m running through a spaceship it’s insane. Besides that, the songs are just really really good. The synth is amazing, so is the guitar, etc. there’s 100% a reason this is often thought of as one of the best albums in history. Fav songs: breath (in the air), time, the great gig in the sky, us and them, brain damage

Obviously such an insanely good album, but I think it does a couple of things that keep it feeling interesting over 50 years later. First, the use of loops and samples is really innovative, particularly on On The Run. The Dark Side of the Moon feels like it put musique concrète into popular music in a really accessible way and created a sound that is still being worked through now, especially with digital sampling. Second, Pink Floyd is super good at creating atmosphere. The slide guitars and bright bell/chime countermelodies just contribute so much sonic texture throughout the album. The Dark Side of the Moon feels very 70s but also connects to modern music sensibilities in a way that their contemporaries like The Who just don’t. And the lyrics are super good, obviously. Favorite Songs: On the Run, Time, Us and Them

This album is... Well, it's the Dark Side of the Moon. Simply one of the greatest albums ever made. And, yes, I love it just as much as anybody else. There is no denying classic Pink Floyd's ability to build an atmosphere, write scathing critiques of modern society with unparalleled swagger, and to provoke even a modern teenage listener such as me into thought. They write haunting songs with beautifully evocative lyrics set to backing music sounding like nobody else ever. To deny this album is to deny the greatness of classic rock, and possibly music, itself. This is the pinnacle, the apex, the peak of Pink Floyd. So, yeah, it's an all-timer if there ever was one. This is the top ranked album of 1973 globally. Other 1973 albums also rated by me: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road(2/30)-4 Let's Get It On(4/30)-5 Catch a Fire(7/30)-4 Head Hunters(10/30)-4 Tres Hombres(11/30)-4 Raw Power(12/30)-4 Countdown to Ecstasy(13/30)-3 Selling England by the Pound(15/30)-4 Paris 1919(25/30)-3

Definitely one you need both earbuds in to fully enjoy! Still need to try the “sync with Wizard of Oz” thing.

An album that’s greater than the sum of its parts. They really groove on this one.

Quite possibly the best album of the entire rock genre.

I mean. It's Dark Side of the Moon. C'mon

Bijzonder

Monumental classic rock album that still holds up in every way. Pink Floyd's 1973-80 output is hard to surpass by any band. Money - with its seamless transition from 7/4 to 4/4 and back, three solo sections, and infectious bass line - might be my favorite thing the band has ever done. I know that's such a cop out answer but it's true. Tracks like Any Colour and On the Run show the heights of their experimentation. Time builds into such a good groove. On Great Gig, Clare Torry's vocals soar and I'm glad she finally got the credit she deserves for them. Dick Parry has two legendary sax solos on two songs. And Eclipse is one of the most stunning codas to any rock album. Phenomenal stuff from start to end. Also I know the band denies it but this album totally syncs up with Wizard of Oz, give it a try some day it's uncanny. Great Gig in the Sky literally happens during the tornado! The munchkins jump in rhythm to Money! Come on just admit it guys! Best tracks: Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them

a perfect album. already knew it though.

Uh huh! Time travel music.

Love this album, very sentimental for me.

One of the greatest albums of all time.

Anything less than a 5 is blasphemy.

This album is such an album. It really has to be listened to as an album. It's an album. And this is 1001 Albums. 1000 more to go.

great!

I dug this album out of my parents vinyl collection as a teenager and never looked back. I had heard Money before on the radio, but the rest was all new and blew me away. I love the beautiful and haunting vocals on Great Gig in the Sky. The driving bass line of Money was one of the first I learned when I picked up a bass guitar. The buildup to the conclusion of Eclipse gives me chills every time. It’s not only a 5 but still to date one my favorites of all time. Put on a good set of headphones and enjoy the stereo bliss.

Pink Floyd are undoubtedly one of the best bands of all time and this album is what most would consider their Magnum Opus. The fact that someone could not only come up with the ideas on here but also execute them is mental to me. The lyrics, atmosphere and David Gilmour's guitar solos are all reasons why this is a perfect album. 10/10

Timeless masterpiece

Is this an album you should listen to at least once before you die? Yes and you should listen to in order like you just opened the record and put it on your turn table for the first time. Groundbreaking for the time and highly influential. I may have individual taste issues with some of the songs, that does not take from the fact this deserves to be here and is an easy 5

2 keer luisteren voordat je het leuk vind. maar gahwd dayum wat een banger van een album <3

Duh....

Very interesting album

Loved it, can see why my dad is obsessed with it. So far I im obsessed with Brain Damage and Eclipse. Also love Great Gig in the Sky.

What is there even left to say about this album? It’s one of the greatest albums ever recorded, an absolute masterpiece. I’ve been listening to it since probably 5th or 6th grade, and it still feels perfect from start to finish. “Time” may be one of my favorite songs of all time. What makes this album so special is that it manages to do two things at once that very few albums can: it rocks while also being genuinely beautiful.

Um álbum totalmente incrível! Um dos melhores de todos os tempos!

Not a lot to say about this album that hasn’t already been said. I prefer wish you were here, but this is still an easy 5. BTW, I don’t believe in that Wizard of Oz crap either.

It’s just so good! This album has been a favourite of mine since I was a kid. I could listen to it over and over. Each song stands by itself, separate from the rest while the album still feels like a whole. A masterpiece.

As soon as I saw the iconic cover I knew I was in for a treat

oh yeah

Album 301 and already 3/4 of the way done with Pink Floyd. I almost wish these 3 albums were spread out more, so I could enjoy them at more convenient intervals to savor them just a bit longer, but I guess this is just what RNG determined I'd listen to today, and I'm not complaining about it. Anyway, this is album 3/4, following Wish You Were Here and The Wall. A lot of people worship this album religiously. You see the album art on posters, shirts and other places to this day, for good reason at that. It's reached the same status as Nirvana, where some people might just like the design and don't even know what it is. In other words, it's a timeless classic. It's by far the easiest Pink Floyd album to digest, in my opinion. Surface level and new fans can enjoy it without peeling anything back to find deeper meaning, but longtime fans can still recognize and acknowledge how great it is, even if it is still probably like, my 5th favorite Pink Floyd album. Still a 5 with almost no faults though. Maybe just an itty bitty bit of fluff here and there, but like I said, almost no faults. It has a cult like following for a reason. It's so good, and it has what may be the greatest improvised vocal performance in history in "The Great Gig in the Sky". In fact, that little 3 song stretch of "Time", "The Great Gig in the Sky", and "Money" may also be the most legendary trio in music history. All 3 of those songs are phenomenal in their own individual ways, and are for sure my favorite 3 songs on the album. "Time" is a peaceful little melody... for about 3 and a half minutes, then it turns into an acid trippy, incredible solo, ending with an incredible amount of energy by both Gilmour and Waters. The best single moment of this album though has to go to Clare Torry, which is why my number 1 pick for favorite song is "The Great Gig in the Sky". She was paid pretty much nothing for recording it, which is an interesting story in and of itself. The little minute long intro is a good way to inch up closer to the aforementioned improv by Clare. God damn is it good. And then, right after that, you get freaking MONEY!! "Money" needs no explanation. Love it or hate it, it's catchy as heck. The bass, guitar, vocals, music video, background elements, and everything else about it are just so immensely full of energy that putting it as my favorite song almost felt like it would have been cheating, and I almost did it anyway. I haven't even mentioned the greatness of some of the other songs like "Breathe (In the Air)", and I'm not sure I even need to. You get the point. While I'm upset that Animals, Meddle, and Atom Heart Mother didn't make the final cut for the book, it's a literal no brainer to include the other 3 albums I've heard so far. I'd have been just as upset, if not even more so if they didn't get included. The only other album I have yet to listen to for this project is their debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and while I disagree with it's inclusion wholeheartedly, I get that it was likely included to hear Pink Floyd at their most "pure". The author of the book just loves doing stuff like that, and it's usually pretty annoying. Roger Waters may be a loser twat who should stop saying things out loud in public spaces, but I can not deny that his work with Pink Floyd was outstanding. Even if it does make me a bit upset listening to it after the fact, I always find myself coming back to it anyway, usually for months at a time.

DSotM was the first record to teach me the complexities of album sequencing. First off, album art is such an integral part of the experience, and one that people often downplay. But well-matched art can become the "environment" by which you perceive the songs in - a starting point as you build a mental image of the tracks enclosed. Speak to Me/Breathe quietly, then abruptly, erupts from this darkness. A simple ray of contorting light in the infinite expanse. On the Run continues this trajectory with a progressing beat that makes you feel as though you're going through life, experiencing moments of flittering memories that present as contextless vocal snippets. Time doubles down, exploring mortality, and conceding that even though you may run ultimately little is in your control in the grand scheme of things. The Great Gig in the Sky seems to be a direct call to what the end result might be, some type of beautiful otherworldly musical climax. Money is the foil to GGinS, talking about the perceived importance of the physical. Us and Them and Any Colour You Like act as moments of reflection with sweet saxophones and blaring organs, and ultimately synthesizers comparing very organic human vs. inhuman sounds. Then finally Brain Damage prepares us to let go, so that we might reflect on all of the experiences from the past 42 mins and imagine ourselves bursting into cacophonous rainbow euphoria on Eclipse. Only to return to black again and start all over. Not an overrated album. One that deserves its flowers and continues to stand the test of time. 5/5

5/5

Not just 5/5, 100/100.

It's DSotM, it's a 5. I'm not going to put my own preferences in front of this album (Animals and WYWH are both better.) People like to underrate On the Run since it's kind of a weird trance interlude between two heavy hitters, but I really like what the band does in it. Time's alarm clock jumpscare always gets a kick out of me whenever it plays publicly too. :) Fantastic album.

Absolument incroyable, du début à la fin

rien à dire

epic greatness

I'm on a streak of some truly life changing albums. No review required here.

genius album. i love it.

Felt as though it was designed to be listened to as a complete album, as opposed to individual tracks. There's so much detail to take in with the mix so a high-quality set of headphones is essential to an immersive listening experience. Felt cinematic, with the inclusion of sound effects, transitions, spoken segments, vocals, layering of instrumentation, stereo panning. Outside of my usual listening, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I appreciated the creative and clever production and how well put together it is.

O Primeiro álbum do mundo, não tem como... É a primeira vez que eu tô ouvindo ele inteiro, sem pular nenhuma faixa e tá sendo uma grande experiência. (ouvi no dia 18 de maio de 2026).

5/5. Though I’m more of an “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here” kinda guy when it comes to Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon is still pretty much a perfect album. If you don’t actively ascend when “The Great Gig in the Sky” fully kicks in then we probably won’t see eye to eye. My favorite on the album is probably “money” though, that bass groove in 7/4 is just undeniable and I love the jam that the song breaks out into about halfway in.

Easy. One of the pillars of my life.

10/10

I hesitated to go for 5 stars because I thought I might seem basic but folks you can't argue with this one!

One of my favorite albums of all time

Whatever I have to say, it's already been said. It couldn't be anything other than 5 stars.

My go to chill vibe!

While it's not always my favourite, this is still the best album ever made.

Love this album and have for a long time.

unforgettable. The last three songs are my favorites.

Really good guitar

My dad favorite album, I understand why

10 - EXCELLENT

I mean what can be said about this amazing record that hasn't already? Pure headphone album that must be listened to from start to finish, not as singles. Damn near perfect record.

Pretty good stuff

Exquisite

(7/7) bold and artsy

The greatest album of all time.

Fucking generator paused it despite visiting the site daily just because I had a backlog. Now, I have lost two days in completing this thing because of it. I am not happy. Anyways, this is a banger obviously and shoutout West Valley City Utah '98

Don't think I've ever actually heard this all the way through - Blimey, they were cooking with this and they KNEW it.

First, I was not amused to have to listen to this, since I knew it and considered it overrated. That change, the second I heard the first note of breathe. It felt like someone took a very heavy weight from my shoulders. Time and Money are always my faves and in the end I felt like someone massaged my brain for 40 min and like I was high. So I guess it is correctly rated high :)

somehow i never actually listened to this before. turns out it's really fucking good actually? never would've guessed ;O3 i gotta admit i always kinda had this vague idea that it was a concept album so when we rolled it i was worried this would be long as fuck like eg. the wall. i was relieved to see it's just Normal Length. i guess it still is a concept album but it's much more abstract in its approach, and i think i like it a lot better. it feels a lot less forced, yknow? in terms of the actual sound, i enjoyed it a lot. i'm really into the dreamlike sounds that come up a few times in the first half, like around the end of "speak to me" and start of "breathe (in the air)", and the first couple minutes of "time", and of course i always enjoy the sound of old electronic instruments so i love the synth in "on the run" too. my favourite track is either "the great gig in the sky" or "us and them", with both having that like, psych rock and/or gospel kinda thing goin on? but then "money" is sandwiched in the middle and that's really good too.... idk, the competition is tough....... yeah this album's great. definitely i get why it has the kinda reputation it has now i've actually heard it. i guess all those tshirts know what the fuck is up,

Yeah yeah yeah 5 stars it's incredible of course everyone knows that. But considering how much hype I've heard about this album, I'm actually kind of let down. I enjoyed Wish You Were Here a whole lot more.

Obviously a classic

I saw what was next up and just smiled. This album is unparalleled in its legacy. Quite possibly the album I've listened to more than any other, and not always while sober if you know what I mean. Allow me to just gush for the next many paragraphs. It starts with Speak To Me, truly one of the weirder ways to start an album. It's strange and off-putting, but it's short and that's the key. A quick amuse-bouche for the impending sensory feast. And a reminder that well-defined song boundaries are just a suggestion. I fondly remember my mom or dad popping in the CD in the car and playing On The Run for us kids. Was it entertaining because it was surreal or because it was funny that it wasn't conventional music? I dunno, but I later heard it at a laser light show with my dad, and it might've been a little too much for my kid-sized brain. Then the "beat drop" in Time is just so epic. The entire album intro has basically been building up to that first time actual lyrics are sung and rock instruments are played. You can't help but get into it, and it always gives me chills. The vocals in The Great Gig In The Sky. So eerie yet beautiful. Definitely feels like the peak trippiness of the album. And once the dust settles, you get Money, one of the all time classic songs of the 70s. On the surface it sounds like the most mainstream song of the album, and that's probably why it's the most famous song off the album. But then you realize it's mostly in 7/4 time, and it has an epic saxophone solo, which is just an intro to the following guitar solo. Despite its popularity, Us And Them might be my least favorite song on the album. Still good, but just not great for some reason. Any Colour You Like just kills it with that funky, ineffable sound. I had to look it up just now and I can't even try to explain the techniques used without just quoting Wikipedia. The dawn starts to break with Brain Damage. We're almost done with the crazy ride and there's even some hysterical laughing that appears to convey the same satisfied relief of the listener. And then finally Eclipse. The perfect finish. I love how every song has its place and fits so perfectly into this full album. Even the ones that seem like filler are memorable. Put together, it truly flows perfectly and ends without going on for too long. I truly believe you only don't like The Dark Side Of The Moon because you haven't listened to it enough times. End gushing.

How is it that Gilmour can talk through his guitar, we may never know.

1001 stars

5/12/26. Listened countless times over the years, and it still holds up as a unique experience. Love how the songs fall into each other and express themselves in vastly different ways. The Great Gig in the Sky still blows my mind.

No listening required. I know this album almost note for note.

My first time really sitting down to listen to this album properly from front to back. It's a real journey in a way I think lots of albums attempt to be. The play between the instruments, the builds, the times to let instruments sit in silence for the greater view of the whole, the crash of everything coming together all worked for me. I tend to lean towards music that evokes scenes and emotions and this album did both masterfully.

No need to listen. One of the best ever.

Possibly the very first CD I ever bought. Listened to it on repeat for months. Still a classic all timer.

yes i have obviously listened to this before … i have on vinyl too

i really liked this a lot

One of my favourite albums of all

Overall, there's nothing to write about here. If anyone hasn't heard this album, they've definitely seen the iconic cover. Many consider The Dark Side of the Moon the best rock album ever made. Is there any reason for that? While Pink Floyd is considered legendary in prog, this album is far removed from the genre. The lyrics are incredibly straightforward, the performance is quite simple, even primitive in places, with the riff in "Money" standing out. All the components are simply placed in the right places, and this could have been a simply good album. If it weren't for the way it's mixed! It's no wonder audiophiles still use it to test their equipment — the sound is what makes this record so great. All the instruments sound vibrant, as do the fragments of phrases, the beating of a heart, the clink of coins, the wild laughter, the roar of an airplane... And the best rock album in history is too subjective a concept; it doesn't exist, just as there is no dark side of the Moon really (as a matter of fact it’s all dark).

Nice transitions, some parts a little 'headache-y', drop on "The Great Gig in the Sky" is amazing, also has good vocals. Samples on "Money" somehow work super well. Saxophone on Us and Them is absolutely insane. Brain Damage is just beautiful.

BANGERRRRRRRRRRRR honey blasting my earsssss absolut cinema burry me with this album

We like having this one in the house

wonderful album!!!

Relistened on vinyl in a dark room. No idea when I last listened to it in full. Hard to imagine hearing this the first time when it came out.

It’s perfect

5 - mastapiece

Everyone has heard time and money before, but actually listening to this record - I get it, it's the perfect prog record. No notes 10/10

True Masterpiece. Love every single bit of it

This album is for sure one of the greats. So many classic songs that if you picked up a best of no doubt half of these would be on there. Well put together album. Great production. However, I think "Wish you were here" may be even better? Tough call. In any case if this isn't deserving of 5 stars I don't know what is.

This album is surreal. Every track takes you to a new story. The compositions are so full of depth and details, and blend in masterfully together as a single mind-opening trip. Despite the darker themes of the songs, the music (for me) is so calming and triggers a mood of exploration at the same time. There is a wide range in the instruments and a variation in vocals, chants, and spoken word. The Dark Side Of The Moon will continue to be a huge inspiration for many music generations to come.

This album is a masterpiece. The production, the arrangement of the songs. This album is a timeless trip through the creativity of pink floyd. The only thing that doesn't fit: womens voice in the great gig in the sky is just over the top. If i could travel back in time i would go right there, Abbey Road studios and tell her to chill a bit.

Every review of this album is wrong, including this one. It's not a collection of songs. It's a single 43-minute arc — tension, release, dread, beauty, back to tension — and trying to pick it apart undoes the thing that makes it work. "Money" is a great track. "Time" is devastating. But listening to tracks is not listening to Dark Side of the Moon. I came back to it after years. It arrived differently this time — slower, heavier, more inevitable. The way it builds and breathes and collapses into itself. The heartbeat at the start and end. The cash registers. The clocks. The voices at the edges. All of it part of the same thought. Masterpiece. 5/5. That's the honest review. Everything else is just pointing at it.

Well, yes, this one is truly incredible and lives up to its reputation. I love the flowing opening chord of Breathe, the psychedelic intro of Time, the heavenly Gospel voices of The Great Gig In The Sky, the odd measures and saxophone in Money, the powerful climaxes of Us And Them, the great solos of Any Colour You Like, the melodies of Brain Damage and the conclusion in Eclipse. I love how everything fits together so perfectly, but does never get samey. No second wasted anywhere on these tracks, while the songs still take their time if it fits them. And then.... there's also On the Run, which I don't get as a track (and even less why it's placed near the beginning of the record!?) and which keeps this from being a perfect record. Still, the rest is pure magic. It's fantastic and I will probably listen to it many many times again. 4,5/5 near perfect

Legendary. One of the best studio albums in the history of music. So many experimental sounds and techniques represented here. The substance of some of the lyrics transcend through all layers of age and generations. It is fascinating that they were able to compose this at such an early age in their life experience. Nothing but full stars.

Too much to say. Too little time. So ahead of its time with production and sonic landscapes. The first album I heard of Floyd as a kid in the mid 70s. Amazing front to back.

Really easy five here. I can’t imagine not loving this album.

What can one say about Pink Floyd. They’re pretty great. I think what struck me most about this album is how they build up to these massive moments, in songs and albums overall. So when you get to Brain Damage and they talk about seeing me on the dark side of the moon, that’s huge! And All that touch, see, taste, etc on Eclipse (which I didn’t know was technically a different track) just feels huge. I just love Gilmore’s guitar as well (although not sure that was as much of the star on this one). On a side note, one of the first times I got stoney bologney I remember laying on my friends floor listening to money and feeling like every coin was dropping on my back. As I type this I realize this is probably a very cliche teenage boy experience. 4.75

This is the answer to the question, "how many drugs is the perfect amount of drugs?" 4.75/5

I think Dark Side of the Moon caught Pink Floyd at just the perfect moment. In their earlier albums they were a band keen on psychedelic experimentation, but a lot of their songs are sketches of ideas rather than fully formed compositions. After DSotM they would move on to either more theatrical and heavy-handed work (The Wall) or longer multi-part compositions that displayed impressive technical prowess but with less grounded ideas and song structures. But on Dark Side of the Moon all the parts are, for a brief 42 minutes, working perfectly in unison. Every song is terrific on its own but is also inextricable from the conceptual whole. When it's done t leaves you wanting more, yet if anything else were added, it would ruin the tight perfection of this album

This is 5* but I will caveat by saying that I think DSOTM is a little overrated. It's not as good as Wish You Were Here or Animals IMO and there are several bits that drag. It takes a while to get going with the intro, then a slow-ish track in Breathe, before On The Run which I would probably skip usually. The highs are so high though, of course. Actually perhaps not getting high is why I don't quite appreciate this album. Anyway the good bits are amazing and it's great, just not perfect for me

greatest

5/5, obviously

Love this album! Easy 5 for me. I have this on vinyl, and I think this is one of the best albums from the 1970s.

Look, I think I would be committing some sort of crime if I gave this less than a 5. Just the album cover itself is worth the points, never mind the songs.

Some classics deserve the hype. Bits of disco flourishes I could do without, and the teenage stoner/ Wizard of Oz cliches leave a slight taint (though not the band’s fault!). Those quibbles aside, it’s a record with both great “soundscapes” and tunes.

анайроникли мой топ-30 любимейших альбомов эвер

What can you really say about this iconic album? Listened to it a minimum of 3 times for this. Every track is amazing. Should have synced it with the Wizard of Oz.

If I could go back in time I’d watch Wizard of Oz with Dark Side far less than I did as a teenager. As things are, I require too much concentration to focus on the music alone and banish the images and sequencing that has been burned into my brain. Oh well, still a masterpiece. For this listen I broke out an original pressing vinyl copy I’d never actually played before. Is ‘On The Run’ underrated? The integration of electronic instruments on that track and across the board are impressive for the period.

10/10 richtig geiles Album

best of all times.

So when I was about 10, I had a paper route and liked listening to my Walkman while I delivered. I had seen the famous album art of Dark Side of The Moon enough times to peak my curiosity, so I got it. I recall trying hard to get into it, I enjoyed Money but it was too much for my 10yr old brain. I respect my younger self for giving it a go but I’ve come around to this album, it’s fantastic. Wish You Were Here is still their standout for me but this is still fantastic. 5 stars

Here’s an album that (1) I had not listened to before today and (2) definitely needed to listen to before I died! I tried to keep as open and unbiased of a mind towards it as possible. I knew this one is a cultural monument, but I didn’t want to let that sway my rating. After listening, I totally understand the hype. Each song is beautiful, unique, and flows together so well such that the album is much greater than the sum of its parts (although each part is pretty great as well) Favorites: Time, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, Eclipse

For me this is an all time classic album, epic, poetic, broad in thematic scope and ambition. Playful, devastating beauty mixed with existential dread. One of those albums you can sit and listen to as if you were reading a book or watching a film. Many other great albums in their discography but this one is special for sure.

Having grown up on the dark side of the moon, I love this classic

المعروووف لا يعرف

This is #day628 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… what is there to say about this stone-cold classic that hasn't already been said? I guess I'll share a memory instead. A couple of years back, when I worked at a local record store here in Lviv, my wife and her mom once came by, and I showed them around the store's basement. One room was an exhibition space, with turntables and gramophones, ranging from Thomas Edison's phonograph, tracing the evolution of recorded sound; the other was a listening room, a dimly lit space with a huge collection of records and a vintage, tank-like setup. Among the records was, of course, The Dark Side Of The Moon. I put it on, I think it was "Time" that I was showcasing. The way it sounded… felt otherworldly, almost like hearing all the clocks in the world at once. Pink Floyd were playing for the three of us alone that day. This is a 5 out of 5. Looking forward to #day629.

Probablemente mi álbum favorito de todos los tiempos, no hay canción mala y si pudiera le daría 6 estrellas

Expérience totale de a à z. Immersion dans un monde. Un peu de tension

This needs no introduction. It’s a timeless classic that hits differently in different eras of life. The 50th anniversary remaster in Dolby Atmos breathes fresh life into it. I think I went ahead and listened three times. So damn good.

6 stars. This is probably my favourite album of all time, so it's almost a shame to have it so early. You could argue that there is a touch of filler in On the Run and Any Colour You Like, but it doesn't bother me. If anything, it aids the flow. An other worldly album. £30 well spent on Clarie Torry! Time is the greatest song of all time.

From the very first second you just know that this is a masterpiece. The composition, the build up, Gilmours voice, the perfect weirdness and of course the production is flawless.

One of my favorites🤙🫶🏻

This was a relisten for me. I haven't listened to this album in it’s totality in over 15 years. When we got to Us and Them... It was like a time capsule for my life. I started reminiscing about being a teenager again.

goat

1. us and them 2. great gig in the sky 3. brain damage hm: time

Fabuleux! Comme toujours même après 100 écoutes!

Arguably the greatest rock album of all time, nothing more can be said

(tomei a decisão diferente de escutar diretamente no LP, tendo em vista que eu to na casa de mamãe essa semana, e num é todo dia que dá pra torar um disco desse site numa mídia diferente) bem, eu cresci escutando pink floyd kkkkk meus pais tinham todos os LPs e vários CDs, e minha diversão de domingo era botar o dark side of the moon e ficar olhando pro nada escutando ele acho que devem ter uns 15 anos que eu n escutava esse completo??? incrivelmente, é tão bizarro de bom quanto eu lembrava que fosse

Was alright

An all time great listening experience.

Literally nothing can be added here. There are a handful of universal 5* albums on the list.

10/10

I mean, duh

Classic

The only one so far that actually must be heard before you die

C’mon. This album is GOATed for a reason or 100. I listened again today even though I heard it a million times as a stoned 15-year-old. And you know what? I heard even more experimentation and forward-looking musical elements (electronic in 1973?!) than I appreciated way back when. It still sounds peerless. The definition of a 5.

Complete album experience. There are stand out hits, but listening top to bottom is a great adventure.

There's nothing more to say about this masterpiece. A must listen for every one.

this is already one of my faviorites of all time obv 5/5

10/10!!! One of the best albums of all time - they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

What more is there to say that hasn't been said a million times before? This album rules from start to finish. Quintessential rock.

Is any other rating an option? I mean it is a bit pretentious in parts but we'll forgive it......

Everybody had a copy of this album when I was young, because it's so good!

Dark side is the wall’s antithesis, it rejects bloat and narrative shoehorning in favour of a tight, direct and purposeful tracklist of a prog all timers

An easy 5 and for good reason. There are definitely other albums I enjoy listening to more than this but I don’t know if there is an album I think is more impressive in its creativity and execution and still is widely enjoyed by all kinds of people. This album will stand the test of time.

really enjoyable journey

Saying that this is the best album out there isn’t even an opinion, it’s a fact

Masterpiece

What can I say about this perfect record that hasn't been said already.

I like ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘the Wall’ better, but this album is still a 5.

I love this album. It’s actually in frequent rotation along with Wish You Were Here. I love this period of Floyd. It helps that my dad also loved this period of Floyd as did my husband’s parents. What you hear as a kid affects you. This album had a big effect on my future musical inclinations, and when we rediscovered it, well, it was magic. So it has to be 5 stars. It’s in the category of desert island 5 star albums. I don’t just appreciate it, I listen to it a lot and would be sad if I couldn’t hear it again.

i cant give it lower than 5 stars. hate roger waters but damn does he make good art

The Dark Side of the Moon is the first album that made me realize that an album can be a full cohesive concept and not just a collection of songs. I'd listened to albums before of course especially growing up with The Beatles, but this one was the first that was the most compelling to me. This album just completely blew my mind the first time I listened to it, and for a period of time, it was all I listened to. It was entirely different from anything I'd listened to before, and I completely fell in love with it. It is this magnificent expression of life and death, from its everyday dread to its existential divinity. It is a cosmic experience, and its influence and its beauty can not be overstated. A perfect album from beginning to end.

I like the more atmospheric bits of this a lot more than I like songs like "Time" or "Money", but it's still a pretty great album. Pink Floyd has never really been my thing outside of this, but finding an old copy of this at the secondhand record store just felt so right, and that's the only way I listen to it these days. Perfect for when you want to imagine yourself floating out in space.

one of the greatest albums!

Fuck yes. I kinda needed this today. I love Pink Floyd, and this is not my favorite record of theirs (although it's not far off from Wish You Were Here). But there is a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in this record for me, and I would think that it's pretty hard to argue that this is something of a landmark achievement. Really, this is one of the easiest 5-star ratings to dole out. 10/10

Probably the best rock album of all time. Nothing more to say.

Essential. 10/10

From start to finish, on of the best albums ever. It’s genre crossing and only gets better with time. No pun intended.

It has been a while since I listened to this album. It was excellent.

Is real good. i heard part of everywhere so felt a Lil off ,but due to my stupidity can't blame em

love pink floyd the best

Mi favorito en el momento

GOAT

11 April 2026. 20pm. 9,5/10

What more is there to say that hasn't been said over and over? This album is a classic and for good reason.

One of the easier 5s I will ever give. An operatic space odyssey of epic proportions. It’s personally offensive how much the song “Time” is currently my life. I remember listening to it ten years ago and it affecting me, and ten years later all that’s changed is that the “ten years” line is literally accurate now. Anyway, this album so effectively describes the human experience I doubt anyone could listen to it without relating to it intensely. I had a good day yesterday, though. The album is just telling me to live as if I have a purpose, and I will try my best to obey.

!!!
