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.
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
A masterpiece. Nothing more to say.
I mean it's an obvious 5 stars
4.54
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.
!!!
Me gustó mucho!!!!
Inefable.
Bah banger hein je pense que c'est difficile de conclure autre chose
Banger J’ai voulu le réécouter mais en fait… je le connais très bien. L’ambiance est vraiment top, un peu « cloud »
Perfect album
Fantastisk gjenhør!
Ingen over ingen under, har du problemer med dette tar du feil.
The best album ever recorded. What a treat.
muy bueno, había canciones que ya conocía, volvería a escuchar pero no todas
Insta-5 incoming. Ren teater. 100% nostalgi 🥲 Mest sammensatte og velkomponeret album so far med så mange fede overgange og lyde fra "den virkelige verden"! Fænomenale basgange. Fuck hvor er "Us and Them" bare et kunstværk altså 🙄
Ikke hørt i denne omgang, men hørt mange gange før. Ingen tvivl.
*93 Soundtrack til at være hjemme hos måtter i Nørre Vilstrup. Jeg ville ønske, at jeg kunne give det mindre, bare for at være lidt på tværs, men det er jo unægtelig forrygende godt. Første back-to-back 5-stjerners anmeldelse. Håber på flere :-)
Et virkelig helstøbt album med nogle ALVORLIGE bangers. Der er dog passager, som for mig bliver lige lange nok - bl.a. synes jeg at et track som "on the run" kunne udelades helt uden at gøre skade. Til trods for den lille kritik er det svært at pille ned. Vi er på den helt store klinge her. 4,9 bliver til 5 gode stjerner
GOAT
Stødte på Pink Floyd for første gang lige da jeg var startet på gymnasiet og både bandet og mange af numrene har derfor en ret stor affektionsværdi. Prøvede at lægge det hele fra mig og gå til det uden forudindtagethed, og havde faktisk en idé om, at albummet ville falde ret meget til jorden uden al den kontekst, jeg har bygget op omkring det - men for satan hvor er det bare et fedt album. Havde ikke fanget alle jazz og blues referencerne rigtigt før nu, men koblet med albummets rækkevidde - både musikhistorisk og ambitionsmæssigt - kan jeg ikke andet end give det topkarakter. Stadig det eneste band, hvor jeg hellere vil høre deres live-optagelser end studie ditto, og synes faktisk at Disk 2 er bedre end 1.
Please fix the Spotify link, or only listen to "Disc 1" as the album
It’s not even my favorite Pink Floyd album but it’s still 5 stars.
I tried to put this album into words but it leaves me speechless every time. I'm convinced that any hate written about this album is just written to be controversial. This album belongs on the list.
Yeah shocker, the prog enjoyer enjoys prog. While I'd argue that The Wall is a better album, DSotM is obviously fantastic.
A Classic. One of the best in history. Besides the timing perfect with the Artemis II capsule flying over the Dark Side of the moon.
L: 8 M: 10 F: 10 O: 10
I’d give it six if I could
5/5 nada que agregar
happy monday, its all downhill from here. 10/10 no notes
Don't really even need to comment on this one. It's only my 3rd favorite by PF but still a 5 star.
C’est un exemple type d’un album avec des sons individuellement bons mais sublimés entre eux dans le cadre d’un album. Je crains une légère surcôte quand même, mais c’est vrai que c’est top. Ça reste un album qui se tient parfaitement, sans temps faible, avec 2 « HIT » au moins, qui commence fort, qui finit bien.
pink floyd idk
PERFECTION
I tried listening to this for the first time several years ago and wasn’t all that impressed. While I can get annoyed with people who dismiss or down on the Beatles, I do understand the impulse to resist whatever past generations have slobbered over, because I sort of gave up near the end, decided this album was overrated, and left it alone. I was wrong. This is damn good and certainly a statement recording. I don’t know if I quite think of it as some eternal masterpiece, but it deserves its flowers as an all-time great. Will return.
Been waiting for a Pink Floyd album to be generated. Every audiophile's dream and the pinnacle of psychedelic rock. Top notch lyricism from Waters paired with the guitar from Gilmour. One of my absolute all time favorites
Ooh def a perfect/easy album to get you into rock, progressive rock, and concept albums. I remember when I was in highschool and getting this album on cd and listening with a stereo I got for christmas. It was an amazing feeling just laying on my bed (no drugs or anything mind you) and being completely transported. Is this their best album? I'd argue as I've gotten older and have matured both in Pink Floyd taste and general music taste no, is it a perfect album? Honestly, yeah I think so. Is it overyhyped? Maybe a little. All that being said this feels like it takes you through a general journey of human life and death in the broadest strokes. With themes of conflict, death, "time" and "Money) as well. So many legends / myths surrounding this recording like the 1 take "great gig in the sky" solo. Just an iconic work.
To me, this album is an indisputable all-timer. For the vast majority of tracks I've listened to, the context of the original album doesn't really matter; I find it just as rewarding or enjoyable to listen to the tracks in isolation or on a playlist as part of the album. But, that's not the case for any track on The Dark Side of the Moon: the whole truly is greater than the sum of its parts. That was clearly the intention of Pink Floyd; hence, the album is self-consciously cohesive, with seamless transitions from track to track and an overarching soundscape. Of course, while each track stems from the same vision, there's still plenty of variation between them. For instance, the vocals on every track have a dreamy, echoey quality, but they have an airy and incorporeal(?) tone on "Us And Them" and "Breathe (In The Air)," whereas they sound piercing and ragged on "Time" and "Money." These vibe shifts are matched by other elements of the soundscape, like the wailing of the guitars. In terms of my favorite tracks, I'm a normie: "Breathe (In the Air)," "Time," and "Money" are everyone's go-tos, although I also love "The Great Gig In the Sky," "Us And Them," "Brain Damage," and "Eclipse." Honestly, this album is banger after banger, and I like them all; it's just that I like the more "transitiony-sounding" tracks like "Speak to Me" or "On the Run" a little less. One Album a Day linked me to the 2011 remastered version of The Dark Side of the Moon, which includes the "Live At the Empire Pool" version of each track. Normally, I strongly prefer studio versions over live recordings, since, to my ear, studio mixes sound better, but I'm quite fond of the included live recordings. The vocals seem gritty, rough, and flat, which injects a little more cynicism and disillusionment into the lyrics; it's no longer a dream. I also prefer the saxophone and guitar solos on the live "Money" over the studio version. I've never been to a Pink Floyd concert, so I wonder what their set lists are like: do they always play their albums in full, or do they sometimes bang out only the greatest hits? It'd be a shame if it were the latter, I think. (5/5)
Yeah
I'm not very good at reviewing music but something about the strange rhythms and synth/electronic sounds I find are really enjoyable to listen to, and each song was equally emotionally powerful regardless of if its lyrics or lack thereof. The album was both calming and somewhat ominous, but nonetheless entertaining and intriguing to listen to. I found this album encapsulated a lot of emotions and was overall very enjoyable (Money and Time have both been stuck in my head for an unbelievably long period now). This album felt very significant to me in a way I don't know how to properly articulate, but the best I can do is say I felt it in my soul (Brain damage and Any Colour You Like were particularly moving, and Eclipse was a brilliant song to end the album on, very beautiful.)
Duh!
10/10 album Favorite song: Money Best song: Time Worst song: On the run
What can I say about this album? It's arguably one of the top 10 albums of all time. I'd heard it before, but it had been quite a while since I'd listened to it all the way through. While it's not one of my absolute favorite albums, I love it, especially thanks to my grandfather, whose favorite band is Pink Floyd. I wanted to give it 4.5 stars, but since that's not possible, I think it definitely deserves 5.
Sounds very gradient. I am liking the intro to "time." oaoaowowwaahahahhaaywyayayaaRAWEGhraehooow.... More sound effects. joyous. eueueuueuu saxaphone. I like us and them.
i like it
This album has meaning to it from what I looked up it being about insanity, other things in life that are kept secret, greed, death, and time. Just watched an essay about it and holy shit this album is fucking amazing. Both song and meaning
AMOOO Me encanta todo, desde los títulos simples pero abarca mucho más que eso, la guitarra ufff y por ahí un saxofon que me dio un eargasm. Y sobre todo las letras hijueputa de estos cabrones. los amo
Did not listen
Pink Floyd are your classic “album” band. Whether it goes against them or not, you can’t just stick one song on. 4.78/5 stars.
MASTAPICE not me fave floyd but its a classic aint it. Always loved breathe and time. Brain damage and eclipse are the best ending ever too. Classic roger. You have to listen to it start to finish really dont ya
What can you say about it that hasn't already been said a million times before before. One of the best albums of all time. A timeless masterpiece
Absolute masterpiece Don’t expect anything less than 5 stars Might be in my top 10 albums Time is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs
This is obviously one of the best albums ever made. Although it also has weaker points, it's still a 5/5.
6 stars
Para mí, es uno de los mejores discos de la historia. Lo escuché por primera vez hace unos 6 años, con mi papá.
This isn’t even just an album, it’s something else entirely. Everything flows perfectly, like one continuous piece. The transitions, the sound design, the way each track melts into the next—it feels like you’re inside it rather than just listening. The themes hit hard too. Time, pressure, money, madness… it all feels real, like it’s speaking directly to you. Time really stands out, that feeling of life slipping by is just too accurate. Money brings that groove but still keeps the message sharp. And The Great Gig in the Sky… no words, just pure emotion. It’s one of those albums where every detail matters, and nothing feels out of place. Calm and intense at the same time. Honestly, this is more than music—it’s an experience you don’t forget.
De los mejores álbumes del rock progresivo y rock en general. Icono cultural
One of the best.
One of the best of the best of the best
It's a wonderfully psychedelic album. Ideal for mental trips. An incredible instrumental. I love it
Heard a while ago, first time, all in one run. The album says something
love love love
Another one of these classics that it's hard to say too much about that hasn't been said ad infinitum, but I think this firmly deserves its masterpiece status. A sonic wonder for headphone listening (or in a blacklit room with a great stereo while under the influence). It's spacey, trippy, epic and carved out a sonic lane of its own, with David Gilmour's solos riding above it all. Us and Them is probably my personal favorite (good lord the choruses of this one), but the line that sticks with me most is "hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way". Easy 5.
A classic from start to finish, everyone knows this album.
I mean, what even is there to say?
A classic, obvs.
Has to be a five star because of the memories 😀
