The Dark Side Of The Moon

I can't imagine anything anyone has to say about this album hasn't been said by someone already. There are a lot of artists that have multiple albums on this list but I've seen 3 and they were all 5 stars. I'm unsure if they have more but hard to find a flaw in the wall, wish you were here, or dark side.

Really enjoyed listening to this Album

It's day #4 and this album is at the top of my list. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still that way on day #1004.

I’m not the biggest fan of the instrumentals, and I think they maybe show their age a bit, but they’re still enjoyable and every other song is just lights out. Time is one of my favorites, us and them is groooovy, and brain damage/eclipse is as fine a closer as you could hope for

The rare album that seems to float outside the time they made it. Wanted to offer something contrarian but sometimes classics are classics for a reason.

A person can only dream to possess the creativity necessary to imagine such an album, let alone the musical talent to execute the vision.

Considering how many times my brother and friends got high to this, I’ve probably heard this album a few hundred times. It’s still rad.

Man do I love this album. Every up and coming stoner owns a copy of this at one point in time. A perfect album when accompanied by some incense, a lava lamp, and a fat ol’ doobie.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Can't get over how much of a masterpiece "Time" is.....the rest of it is pretty dang good too.

Arguably the best album by Pink Floyd - if you don't go for Wish You Were Here or the first two albums with Syd Barrett. It's a tough choice because this one is perfect from the beginning to the end. "Us and Them" and "Time" and "Money" are standouts, but it all fits great together.

The best album ever!

Much better late at night under certain conditions, but considered a classic for a reason

As a huge Pink Floyd fan - a 5 star rating here is a no brainer. This album is pretty much flawless, iconic, and the band are masters at expressing emotion musically and lyrically. Designed to make you feel, think, question. I believe everyone should hear this album once (even if they don't end up liking it that's fine we all have different tastes, but it should be listened to). The production is utterly sublime, all the added layers and extra effects; talking, laughing, to be a fly on the wall during the recording sessions. I could go on all day. Simply a masterpiece.

Yeah okay FINE. Take the stars

Richtig gute Musik. Kreativ, abswechslungsreich, atmosphärisch, nie langweilig, tolle Stimmen, tolle Instrumente. Verstehe, dass das auf einer Top-Liste landet. Erwarte aber auch noch Brick in the Wall und freue mich drauf.

All time favorites

The house I grew up in was not a musical one, and certainly not a secular music one, but of the very few CD's my dad did own, this was one. I recall playing it in my room as a 10 year old and being amazed. How is it that an album like this connects with a kid? This has always amazed me. 5 stars!

Oh my. As good now as it was when released

really, there's a need for explanation ?

... obviously... Any Colour You Like sounds like Down by the River

Well, I may not feel the need to listen to it that often anymore, if ever,but it doesn't change the fact that this is an absolute classic. I've grown really fond of the deeper cuts on this, this is the kind of album that will reveal something new with each listen, forever.

Album 990 of this list. Finally, a good album.

At the beginning of my adolescence, I stumbled upon the track "Us & Them" and it changed my life. It was the first time I'd ever felt something so transcendent while listening to music. I knew from then on, it was a feeling I would constantly seek in my listening. This album was a game changer for me, and for many others. It's a cliché, sure, but there's no denying it. Perhaps one of the most important albums in history.

You have to listen at least once. An atmospheric adventurous album tha still manages to have radio hits.

Good album

Gonna use this box to say that "any color you like" is among the most underrated songs of the century

Easy 5 on this one, know it by memory alone. Clearly one of the most iconic albums of all time and one of the bestsellers for a good reason, but not my fav PF album.

I actually didn’t really understand this album until I took acid and saw a planetarium laser show for it. The CGI was clearly made in the 70s and had never been updated; even hallucinating it still looked so bad. Like dancing cash registers and dollar signs to Money. A little on the nose. The music hit hard though. It blew my mind. I think this was a foundational experience in me broadening my music taste and getting more into music overall. A real cornerstone.

Höre ich immer wieder gerne an. Sehr gut gealtert, fühlt sich wie ein einziges 40-minütiges Lied an.

War sehr gespannt auf das Album, nachdem viele es als beste Album ever sehen und ich Wish you were here sehr mochte. Die Produktionsqualität ist fantastisch. Ich glaube Konzeptalben funktionieren nicht immer beim ersten mal, muss es mehrmals hören, dem Text und der Story folgen. Hab es zweimal gehört und werde langsam warm, glaub es ist ein "Slow Burn" Wish you were here wird trotzdem mein liebstes Album von Pink Floyd bleiben, aber werde dieses auch öfter hören.

Hot take: This is a good album

I needed a break, that's nice. A 5 See you tomorrow. I feel like anything that can be added was said in my review for the wall. This one is not different. This is an undisputed classic (it shouldn't be anyway) and I believe that for generations to come it will keep blowing up kids minds, just like it did for me.

Classic, but have to be in the mood for it!

6/5 no point adding to what others have said.

This is just one of the best albums ever made. It's hard to even find something to criticise. Beautiful, dark, thought provoking, instrumentally brilliant, the synths on this record are out of the world. The guitar playing is just stunning. I even like the saxophone.

What is there left to say that hasn't been iterated upon thousands of times? While some of the bass lines and vocal melodies can be a little "samey", they are uniformly enjoyable. This is undoubtedly a classic of psychedelic rock (and rock in general) that stands the test of time. It's interesting, fun, and (at times) thought-provoking. Fantastic guitar, driving bass, and an overall enthralling listen. This is a no-skipper for me, and just short of a perfect 5/5, although I am a bit of a stickler for that sort of stuff. If 4.7 existed, that would be my real score for this. I'm going to be hearing "bum....tap...ba-bumbum tap" in my head for the rest of the day. 5/5

Amazing album. As if this isn’t great enough with epic tracks like Time, Money, and Us and Them, this packs so much more into this incredible effort. So many different colors, from the trippy On The Run, to the gospelish The Great Gig in the Sky, to the tight bow at the end which is Eclipse. And yet it all just fits together amazingly well. A true masterpiece and easily one of the top few albums of all time.

the transition between the first few songs was soo smooth and satisfying! Really enjoyed the whole album!

Probably the most anticipated album on this list, and I can honestly say this is my first time listening to it. Of course, i've heard all the things like syncing it up with Wizard of Oz and all that stuff, but never listened to it. First, the continuity and track transitions are flawless. I love with one track seamlessly runs into the other and every song on this album does a wonderful job. The album was gripping from start to finish. I love the psychedelic nature of it where you can just get lost in the music. Lost in thought. A musical trance. I like that most of it is without lyrics. I like the theme and concept of the album, which is probably why it resonated with so many people. Yeah it sounds great, but the theme is problems that every day normies deal with.......not just Pink Floyd. Time, Money, Mental Health, dying, all these stresses that plague everyone. We don't need a metaphor for it when it's constantly there, looming. I love that they use the snippets from the interviews with people in the studio throughout the album, which adds to the grounded nature of the album. Not a fan of the intro to Time with all the alarms going off. Come on, that's just wrong. How am I supposed to fall asleep to this album? Other than that it's just wonderful. The harmony with Wright and Gilmour in Breathe is insane. First listen I figured it was a recording technique like in The Beatles Revolver with ADT, but it was two people......that sound the same......in harmony. Really cool. I am less of a fan of the song Money though since it really breaks the psychedelic theme of the record. But what do I know? Money is the most listened to song on the album. I mean the song is fine, I just don't think it fits in the album and definitely sticks out in a bad way. Pulls your out of the contemplative mood that the entire album puts you in to play a "dad rock" radio hit......and then Us and Them lulls you into the mood again. A-side would be perfect without the stupid alarm clocks ruining my day. B-Side would be perfect if they replaced Money with a song that sounded a bit more consistent with the rest of the album.

One of the best albums ever. Breathe is such an amazing opener.

Iconic music along & perhaps the most iconic album cover artwork of all time?. Proper album rather than a collection of tracks . This was the second album thrown to me in the 1001 list so I struggled to hand out a 5 so early in the campaign. Some slightly indulgent early 70's druggy synth wasnt enough to nudge this from a 5. Dear Lord those backing vocals (Claire Torry) too.

How can you not give this album a 5? Likely one of the best Pink Floyd albums out there.

Hi Madeline & Matthew, today is the day of your wedding and this is the album! How fitting. Nothing to say about this album that hasn’t already been said. I’m happy that this record has been a soundtrack to night hikes in the past. 5/5 the 1001 albums list works it’s magic once again

Really holds up. A truly excellent album. Compelling and haunting, so many interesting moments throughout.

One of the best ever. Put it on and forget about everything else.

One of humankind’s crowning artistic achievements. Enough said.

This was an album I was excited to see pop up - always happy to re-listen to it. Amazing album!

Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973 and didn’t leave the Billboard charts for 14 years. 'nuff said really, but I'll add some personal thoughts. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. Forty years ago, however, I wouldn’t put this in my top three Pink Floyd albums. I liked the catchier songs on The Wall (and how can you not love the guitar solo in Comfortably Numb?) and the longer, more “prog” rock songs of Animals and Wish You Were Here. But now, I’d probably put this at number one. I think it strikes a nice balance between the very long songs of Animals and WYWH and the more radio-friendly songs of The Wall. For a long time, when discussing the album, I would mention that I didn’t like the “screaming black lady” in the middle of the album. First, the lady, Clare Torry, is white. But more importantly, that song is amazing. One time, after complaining to a friend about the “wailing,” someone said, “That’s what makes the song amazing. Listen again.” And I did, and they were right. The emotion and vocals are beautiful. I still listen to this a few times a year, always straight through. It’s not a greatest-hits album. It’s one long inhale and exhale. One of the best albums ever made.

Time Us and Them Any colour you like Breathe in the air Great gig in the sky Brain damage Eclipse

I tried to listen to this as if I'd never heard it before. (Oddly easy to do in this daily challenge. I've rediscovered some great bands and gained appreciation for some I'd discounted before.) I like Pink Floyd well enough. It's always been pretty easy to see that they're excellent musicians and writers. But, I never saw them live and I'm not a fanboy or anything, but... Who could deny that this album is a masterpiece? It's a frigging triumph of epic proportions! Young men this young should not be this talented or insightful! Somehow it's a rock album, but it's not really Rock Rock, ya know? It's symphonic, ethereal, deep. Completely unexpected for its time. I can't review the songs. There are a million out there with hundreds here. All I can say is that there isn't a bad minute on here. And it's epically better experience to listen to it all at one instead of as singles. The production is insane. Alan Parsons really took these fellas to another level. I'd call him as much a member of the band as Gilmour or Waters. 10 out of 5

Peak

What's not to like

Nothing set up a session of Ann we like listening to Pink Floyd’s Time

a life classic

Shine on, you crazy diamond...

Nothing I need to say about this one

This is seriously one of the best albums ever created. It just feels like a whole story from start to finish with seamless transitions and the last two songs working together to complete the thought. Borderline flawless. Speak to me - 5 (doesnt count) Breathe - 8 On the run - 6 Time - 10 (Transition here) - 11 The great gig in the sky - 7 money - 10 us and them - 10 any colour you like - 8 brain damage - 9 (Transition here) - 11 eclipse - 9 Individually ranking these songs is unfair because they all mesh together and some songs are simply used as the connecting pieces.

What a record. Pink Floyd really understood what doing an Album as a holistic full standing piece of art was. Every song is different but feel part of the same project, they flow seamlessly from one to another. The 40 minutes feel like one single experience. They knew what they wanted to do and to say and they did it perfectly. I often hear people say that this record is overrated and I always try to understand why and I just can't. Because every time I press play on TDSOTM, it's just an amazing experience. So easy 5/5. And the great gig in the sky, my god

One of the greatest albums of all time.

Jag försökte vara så neutral som möjligt när jag började lyssna, framför allt när jag aldrig lyssnat på hela albumet back to back. Ett musikaliskt mästerverk. Fantastisk struktur på albumet. Gåshud.

1. Speak To Me - N/A It's an intro track. 2. Breathe (In The Air) - 7 Good slower track with some decent vocals and lyrics. One thing I am noticing is that the transitions between tracks is absolutely world class and a huge enjoyment. 3. On the Run - 5 It's an okay instrumental. There's nothing phenomenal about the track and it's a complete pass over on the album. 4. Time - 10 Good track. Fun lyrics that builds well into an absolutely legendary guitar solo in the middle of the track. It comes down off the build and guitar solo brilliantly as well. 5. The Great Gig in the Sky - 10 Vocally it's incredible and instrumentally it's a masterpiece. Absolutely a monumental track with a huge build and superb descend. Just a great sound. 6. Money - 9 Very good track. Vocally it's good, lyrically it's superb, and the guitar solos with the drums are absolutely exquisite. Awesome sound on this track. 7. Us and Them - 11 Just an all time classic. I used to listen to this while fragging out in Unreal Tournament 2004 so it has some fond memories already. Lyrically it's excellent and the sound all throughout is just top drawer. Amazing track. 8. Any Colour You Like - 9 Great jam song. Brilliant guitar play with some awesome sounds on it and superb as a bridge itself between Us and Them and Brain Damage. 9. Brain Damage - 10 Lyrically this is fantastic. The choir like background voices add so much to the track while the guitar brilliant plays melancholically to help further express the twisted nature and meaning of the lyrics. 10. Eclipse - 11 An absolutely stunning crescendo to an absolutely stunning album. Absolutely superb track. Short, sweet, and draws from the tracks previously on the album lyrically to deliver the perfect ending. A masterpiece of an outro. Average Rating: 9.11 Adjusted to 5-Point Scale: 4.56 Rounded Up: 5 Stars

This album just like some other Floyd albums has some essence about it that forces reflection of what it means to be a person in a world that prioritizes material things and artificial purpose. What is the purpose of our pursuits and where do they bring us? Additionally, Money is one of my favorite songs ever made. The whole album has such a great vibe to it and it really is beautiful and a soulful masterpiece. I think that it deserves the credit that it gets as one of the greatest albums of all time.

- sem comentários

Psykedelisk rock som jeg synes er meget tydligt på on the run f.eks. Progressive rock fordi det har store arrangementer og inspireret af klassisk musik i struktur. Stor buildup. Tror det må være en af de første konceptalbums nogensinde. Der blev åbenbart også brugt nye studieteknikker med båndloops, surround panorering (on the run) som giver en ekstra dimension til musikken synes jeg. Det gør lidt mere det bliver en følelse af et univers man er i. Sjovt at money er placeret i midten af albummet. Jeg synes det er meget unikt, for når man lytter til andet psykedelisk kan det enten være meget underwhelming eller ikke centralt nok i albummet eller også er det som om det bliver for overambitiøst. men her lader det bare til at det er meget fuldent og gennemført og perfekt balanceret. De har jo også lavet meget og haft meget erfaring med musik inden de udgiver dark side of the moon. De er også kendt for improvisations koncerter osv. Det er et meget filosofisk album som tager udgangspunkt i livets helt store temaer som liv død kærlighed og samfundets struktur. Det er melankolsk, hypnotisk, intenst og tidstrandencerende. føler viirkelig det kræver at man sætter sig ned og lytter til det og det ikke bare er baggrundsmusik. så bliver man belønnet med en masse detaljer, men humøret skal også være specielt når man lytter til det.

This is my favorite album of all time. It always has been and it probably always will be. It’s album 55 for me so I’m hopeful this list hasn’t peaked for me so soon.

Fantastic

I've always liked Pink Floyd, but have to admit I'd never listened to this album from start to finish. Just, wow.

Easy 5 star

absolute cinema

Money Favourite Song: Time Honourable Mention: Money, Breathe, Brain Damage

holy moly

Masterpiece.

Stellar bluesy rock album. Epic in scope and near perfect

A complete album. Ahead of its time and an instant classic.

Classic, 'nough said

Like, it's Dark Side Of The Fucking Moon. What else can I say?

5, of course. Their best album.

So lush, so smooth that you get to thinking you could play this record through the speakers of a 3310 and it’d still sound sublime. Listening to “The Dark Side of the Moon” is, as first song proper neatly foreshadows, like breathing. To enjoy it requires no conscious effort; you just pop it on and – ever so slightly jarring mid-album “Money” shot excepted – let it carry you along. “On the Run” is a fabulously evocative sound collage; puts me in mind of anything from CAN to My Disco to Protomartyr (“Ultimate Success Today”). “Time” is, like so much of the record, a splendidly languorous piece right up until it isn’t – then it’s alive, rapturous, otherworldly. (The guitar solo reminds me of “Maggot Brain”; I can think of no higher compliment.) The vocal performance that is “The Great Gig In the Sky” is a blisteringly abrupt shock of urgency – exactly where it should be and how it should be. “Money” is a song, “Us and Them” is a masterpiece, and “Any Colour You Like” picks up and packs up the weird. “Brain Damage” and “Eclipse” send you off into the night with a deliciously warm and fuzzy feeling; you’ve all had a lovely time, but you know you’d better be off before you overstay your welcome. An enchanted sonic equilibrium, engineered into coherence by what’s probably actually a form of genius.

Here it is then. The Mack Daddy. I’m not a huge Pink Floyd guy and even I have to admit this is pretty damn good. Perfect? Hmmmmm I dunno. But screw it’s near as dammit to 5 stars in my opinion. Nice work Floyd, they’ve got a big future ahead of them if they stick at it

Pretty easy to rate: 1, because I hate Pink Floyd . . . Oh wait, I'm not Johnny Rotten ca 1977. It's great.

Beautiful beautiful record. Sweet modal mixture in the songwriting making for some really interesting shifts in feel. That spacious non-contrived connecting thread throughout the songs. That liquid guitar style and tone. Love it all

Another Pink Floyd album with really great memories attached to it. How in the world do you objectively rate an album that you can link to such a special place and time in your life and that gives you such feelings of nostalgia? I forgot how much I loved the song Us and Them. It’s beautiful. For me it’s the best song on the album. This is an easy five stars for me. It’s pretty near perfect.

I could gush about this album for hours, but I will refrain from doing so. What I will say is that this album has been a cornerstone of my life for my entire life, and because of that, I cannot objectively review it. From being woken up by the bells of Time when I was asleep on the bus countless times, to jamming out to Money with my friends after school, and screaming my lungs out to Great Gig in the Sky when words couldn't convey properly how I've felt, it's seemed like this album has been with me through it all. It means so much to me. Any Colour You Like -> Brain Damage -> Eclipse is up there with the Abbey Road medley of album endings for me. It's creates a wonderful soundscape that truly feels like The End and wraps up with the final words "There is no dark side of the moon really. It's all dark" for those who had blasted it loud enough to hear it. Incredible. Art. Blown Away. Thanks Mr. Floyd for your contribution to the silly album list.

My first experience with Pink Floyd back in the day and it’s stuck with me ever since. Most of my favorite songs of theirs are on here. I’ve always loved how well the album flows together while still having a distinct feeling with every track. Absolute 10/10 for me

Exceptional albums explore the many avenues of what music can be, in a cohesive package. That's what Dark Side is all about for me. Sonically you've got twinkling pianos, inventive guitar effects, shrieking vocals, and the first time many people heard a modular synthesizer. The messages are wide-ranging and still potent: the afterlife, war, $$$, finding yourself. In 10 songs this record covers a lot of territory and does it well.

I’m gonna be honest, I’m 47 years old and I’ve listened to a heck of a lot of music - but I’ve never listened to dark side of the moon in it’s totality. And I went in skeptical but I’m gonna be honest it deserves five stars. I listened to it during a rainy drive on the way into work early on a Sunday morning, and I can see now how it has earned its legendary status. It is a total achievement in the “concept album” genre - and they knew that I would get to it at some point on this list, and I’m delighted to have had the chance to listen to it before my shift in the emergency apartment.

When I was still getting into music as a kid but was still scared of drugs, I nonetheless found this album, specifically, to be the kind of trippy nonsense I can get behind. I've obviously heard "Time," "Money," and "Brain Damage/Eclipse" a thousand times since then, but it's been a long time since I listened to the whole thing. I expected to find it tiresome. But, NOPE. Holds up. I can absolutely understand someone wanting to roll their eyes at it, but it still grips me. Another all time album cover too.

I've heard the Pink Floyd version so much, I don't need to hear it again, so I listened to the Flaming Lips version. I liked it a lot.

Hell yeah - this album is a classic for a reason. The production, song-writing, and overriding concept make for a truly phenomenal experience. I pity anyone that died before this album came out, for they could not listen to it before they died.

ICÓNICO

There is a reason this album stayed on the charts for literally a half a century. It’s a masterpiece like no other record. From beginning to end it is perfect

Not sure what else there is to say about this album. It's on the shortlist for greatest album of all time. Music doesn't get much better than this.

the best

A real treat. Great album. Every song is worth your time and the album is an excellent straight through listen. Favorite tracks include Breathe, Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us And Them, Brain Damage, Eclipse.

Still a classic, strange their best was so long ago.

I think it lives up to its reputation as a great album

Really solid album. Cool sounds and vocals. I owned this on vinyl at some point. Strong 4.5, with a tip to the 5 side.

The greatest album ever.

Woo Hoo

If any album has a claim to perfection, it's this one. The production values, atmosphere, musicality, lyricism, and cover art are all off the charts. The production is particularly impressive, even by today's standards, and became the bar that every other album is compared to. 5.0/5.0: Iconic

ive never been a huge fan of pink floyd but you cant deny how good this is.

Beyond classic. Seminal. Sounds as amazing today as it did 50 years ago.

Экспериментально, много новых звуков

I can see why this is considered a masterpiece.

Sublime from start to finish

Wow. The Dark Side of the Moon is an experience. Listening to this album was like reading an exquisite novel. It took me on a ride from the first heartbeat to the very last. I experienced so many emotions while listening to it. I didn’t want it to end. For once, I can say I wish an album wasn’t so short. I wanted this to go on until I was lulled into a dreamlike slumber. The album is completely cohesive and the dead-air omission between songs makes it meld beautifully. It is agonizing yet soothing and absolutely mesmerizing.

It's Dark Side of the Moon.

Not much to say about this one that hasn't already been said. The musicianship is great, and the concept, the continuous work of music, and the production take the experience over the top.

Possibly the easiest 5-star album on this list. No need to belabor the point. It's a landmark. A masterpiece. An icon. I'll tack on a whole extra star for the "Wizard of Oz" thing. Coincidence or not, it's uncanny how well it works.

Always a pleasure and nice to listen after several decades of not.

The old man and I agreed on very few things. This album was one of those few things.

Absolute classic. A all time favourite.

It just so happens that my favorite album is the best album of all time.

Simply Amazing

Speak to Me - no rating Breathe (In The Air) - 5/5 On the Run - 3/5 Time - 5/5 The Great Gig in the Sky - 5/5 Money - 5/5 Us and Them - 5/5 Any Colour You Like - 4/5 Brain Damage - 5/5 Eclipse - 5/5 Average score: 4.7/5 i'm a sucker for albums where all the tracks seamlessly melt into one another

Nic dodać nic ująć, za każdym razem solo z Time uderza tak samo, niesamowity wokal w The Great Gig In The Sky, a całość zakończona Brain Damage/Eclipse

Ciężko ich przebić. Mistrzowsko zrobiony układ całego albumu i poszczególnych utworów, z długimi, rozbudowanymi przejściami / wstępami budującymi klimat itp., przez co album jest różnorodny i ciekawy, zachowując konkretny styl. Że instrumenty dobre to nawet nie trzeba wspominać.

The best!

One of the most iconic rock albums ever released.

This album deserves all the hype it gets. 5/5 9.39/10

I'll confess something here: I haven't listened to this album in full in almost 20 years, when a couple of stoned friends put it on during our A-Level art exam. I can't say I paid much attention at the time, and obviously I've heard the odd track here and there over the years. I was determined not to just whack 5 stars on this because it's iconic. But here I am, whacking 5 stars on this. It is genuinely a masterpiece. The whole album is so cohesive, right down to the end of the final track leading into the start of the opener. It's fantastic all round, with extra credit to Breathe (In the Air), Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Us and Them, and Brain Damage. It's an album for listening to with few distractions. It's an album I can see myself putting on full blast for a solo motorway journey in the future. That being said, the obligatory endless keyboard solos almost knock it down to a 4.5.

I've heard this album so many times and most of them i was HHIIGGH!!!

Definitely an album you have to listen to in order, I love how the songs blend together. Overall an amazing album.

Have heard 100’s of times. Solid album. No skip record. Masterpiece.

Just having Time and Money on the same album makes it 5 stars and Brain Damage gives it the plus. 5 stars or A+.

Simply the best album of all.

Masterpiece. The Wall and The Dark Side Of The Moon are my favourites!

Finally ... a 10 star Album.

9/10 favourite - "Us And Them" least favourite - none

Incredible album. Flows from one song to another. Listened to it multiple times over the last few days.

Classic

Yeah, yeah

nothing needs said. 5/5

One of the best of all time, very understandable as to why it is on so many t-shirts

I know it's pedestrian to just give this album a 5, but I started it and just kind of went into a trance. It really is that good. 5/5

Wonderful album

A classic

Absolutely fire

Probably my third favourite Pink Floyd album behind the Wall and Wish you were here, but still a great album. the combination of Time and gig in the sky is great. Money is a good song but has been tarnished by fucking Donald Trump. Regardless that section from Money to Eclipse is just perfect. There is more than enough notable songs to make this a 5 star album

Even classicer and forever a favourite

Nothing else to say.

1973 Simply outstanding and befitting of its status. One of the few albums that made the cross-over from my dad to me. I want to say it's overplayed, but I've enjoyed listening to this again today, like it was my first time. My CD is properly worn out. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ✅️ Godlike status ★★★★★ (9/10)

A great album that I've owned for 40-odd years and don't listen to often enough. It was nice to get the prompt to give it another spin. 5/5.

С удовольствием послушал в который раз.

Very glad to see this pop up, especially after enjoy ‘Wish You Were Here’ so much and this being a classic I have never listened to fully. The classic tones of ‘Breathe’ to start us off. A great flow between tracks and just creates an endless journey through a great variety of aesthetics, tempos and tones. Somehow expected to be something like a 2 hours drawn out journey, but feels like it will be no filler and just relevant for what it wants to communicate and represent. Great atmos and landscape that feels so broad and explorative. Maybe very slight lull in ‘Great Gig..’ but back with avengence with ‘Money’ but then a bit of a dip after this too. Yeh, it’s a great all round package that takes you all over, whilst maintaining real quality and depth. Feels wrong to listen to it in single tracks and is a whole trip. A huge achievement of an album 👏🏻

I mean common, it's Dark Side of the Moon, this is one of the few albums that I consider basically perfect. Time probably has my all time favorite guitar solo, Great Gig in the Sky is phenomenal, and I love how funky Any Colour You Like is. High 5!!!!

9/10 Favs: Money, Breathe (In the Air), Us and Them, Brain Damage

Absolutely one of the single greatest recordings of the 20th century. One of the easiest five stars I've given in this project so far.

More of a soundscape. Experimental. Spacey. Synths and percussion. Psych rock. Very epic. Very floaty and meditative, I can see why it's considered one of the greats.

Para mí, el mejor álbum en la historia de la música. Mi número 1. Cada momento es mágico, cada segundo ha sido de lo más significativo en distintos momentos de mi vida. Lo he escuchado cientos de veces, lo he visto en vivo varias veces y cada que lo escucho me deja claro lo mismo: el mejor álbum y el que más voy a querer, siempre.

Ok, I get it now. I had never listened to this all the way through, but it is excellent. It grabs your entire attention and holds onto it. It's just such a lush and expansive sound. I think I'm going to listen to this one a lot.

5 stars. One of the greatest ever. My only complaint is that the alarms at the start of Time are anxiety inducing. Apart from that, damn near perfect.

#120/1001. My most fond memories of this album is as we tested out the hoo-haw theory that this album works as the audio track for the film Wizard of Oz. We had an improvised movie festival at a friends cottege. Some people had never seen the film, so they were more concerned what happens in the story (we replaced the original sound completely). There are some key moments, perhaps by accident, and I guess peoples’ minds are constructed in a way that we try to see patterns where no-one really planned them. If you want to try it out, check out where the image changes from black and white to color, or when the witch has a "Great Gig in the Sky". More recognised patterns can be found online. After the night of watching films we spent a few days at the cottage. Dark Side of the Moon was playing in a constant loop inside, ruining my Last.fm stats and oversaturating my meed to ever listen to it again. But that was 20+ years ago and the album sounds as classic as ever.

Classic

This lives up to the hype. Truly their magnum opus. 5/5

Excellent. No notes. It remains engaging throughout and I like how the songs blend into each other rather than cutting off between tracks

Oh the days in the dorm listening on headphones to the opening of Time for all the alarms going off! Before Roger Waters became insufferable!

If I was forced to objectively choose the greatest album of all time. I would without hesitation say Dark Side Of The Moon.

Fuck yeah, truly iconic. Ended way too soon!

Might be greatest album of all time. Easiest rating on the list

I mean what can I say about this just staggering album that hasn't been said a million times before. I really does live up to the hype and I honestly believe this a timeless piece of art that will transcend generations to come

Awesome

One of the greatest albums of all time.

Surprise surprise, a classic album is classic. The songs transition really well and I like the guitar solos and that one song with the sax. It's the type of album that's good to sit back and listen to really. I do wish "Gig in the sky" had lyrics lol, I think the woman singing is very good but I feel like without lyrics song doesn't really lead anywhere. That is a really minor gripe lol and I will continue rocking out to that song. Yeah, not much to say except it's a pretty great rock album and pretty much all the tunes are stellar. I think in the past I wasn't as fond of it because it's reputation preceded it and I was expecting some experience of grandeur I guess so I was disappointed when my life wasn't flipped upside down or something lol. But now I have learned how to appreciate music just for its own sake I guess and not have those sorts of expectations now. Which i think makes the music listening experience much more enjoyable. 5 stars! 12/9/25

Id give this album 7 stars if I could.

One of my all time favorites

Always a great listen. Refreshing to hear a concept album that stayed anchored with solid hits throughout. Transitioning from a mostly instrumental and big gig to a radio hit like money shouldn’t be a seamless as it is. I remember as a teenager having my ears opened to this and still love it.

Classic

A perfect 5.0, great song writing…. Great playing… the production and sound quality is top notch! This album brings back memories! Guitar sound and playing is awesome!

Own it. Love it. 5/5

10/10, historia, titan, mastodonte musical, imbatible, perfecto y aureo

Brought me closer to a higher power.

Why are there options for less than 5 stars for this album?

IF THIS ALBUM DOESN’T RATE 5 STARS WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE!!!! IT’S MF PINK FLOYD. So far I have enjoyed “Breathe” and “On The Run” “Us and Them”

It’s The Dark Side Of The Moon. I don’t think there’s anything I could say about it that hasn’t been said over and over about it. It’s awesome.

Dreizehntes Album, das ich schon kannte. Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich es mir schon angehört habe. Eigentlich war ich mir sicher, dass das klare fünf Sterne werden. Jetzt bin ich eher bei 4 1/2. Es ist genial, das kann man nicht leugnen, das Konzept, wie alles zusammenfließt und wie die Thematik in die Songs gebaut wird (Die Kasse zum Beispiel). Time, The Great Gig In The Sky und Us And Them sind einfach 11/10 Lieder, da kann man nichts dagegen sagen, Money und Brain Damage/Eclipse sind auch großartige Songs, aber ich finde, am Anfang ist es etwas schwach und die beiden Instrumentals bringen einen etwas raus. Es ist kein perfektes Album, aber als ganzes doch perfekt, und ich meine, ich habe zwei Adelealben fünf Sterne gegeben, da kann ich einem Album, das Time, meiner Meinung nach lyrisch einen der besten Songs, die ich kenne, und noch eine Handvoll anderer genialer Songs hat, nicht einen Stern abziehen.

I so appreciate all the time and thought Pink Floyd put into their music. They are all talented enough to easily write pop music for everyone but they took the hard route and we're all better for it.

all time classic

After over 1000 albums and only missing one day, sometimes they can roll into one a bit and I feel there's a run of "fine but so what" albums. Then along comes a titan and I realise the real difference between the good and the great. This is such a great album that every song feels like it's been crafted carefully, not just plonked down on a DAW. Because it wasn't. They needed to use tape loops and all hands on the mixing deck. This is how glorious music can be when it is an all consuming craft.

Classic

You can't really give this album anything below a 5. 5/5

Good man.

Was a little nervous to revisit this after being underwhelmed by Wish You Were Here - but my god this holds up so well. In my opinion the most cohesive Pink Floyd album, but still managing to pull in so many different directions. Lands pretty much all of its ideas and also a really fun listen as well. A classic for a reason

Really interesting soundtrack, blended really well. Odd ambiance used too. Experiential album. 5 for the novelty.

This one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands. Great album from start to finish and the songs flow well from one to the other. "The Dark Side of the Moon explores themes such as conflict, greed, time, death, and mental illness." OK Pink Floyd doesn't really make happy music. Apparently you can watch The Wizard of Oz while listening to this but if you are tripping balls you can do that with any album and movie. Money and Us and Them feature a guest saxophone which is kind of unusual for Floyd. Very original and great song writing.

It's hard to do any justice to this album with words. It is flawless from beginning to end and feels less like a traditional album and more like a living, breathing piece of art that brilliantly encapsulates the beauty and tragedy of the passing of time, and of all that is life, better than anything I've ever heard. It's so moving and creative and timeless. The first minute and a half of Eclipse is such a beautiful and emotional set of lyrics that it makes me cry just typing about them. I feel so grateful to live in a time where music like this exists.

Some days you just get an album that puts a smile upon your face. I can't say I have listened to a lot Pink Floyd, however, I have listened to this before and this was a good chance to top up my listening time. I managed to squeeze in 2 listens in the same day for this (one original, one remastered). I'm not sure if I have listened enough to form a proper opinion yet but even though this is clearly a work of high quality work, I feel like I prefer Wish You Were Here and Animals from my listens to date. Regardless, I will look forward to exploring Pink Floyd further in the future.

Operatic and otherworldly, this is as cohesive as an album gets

A clear classic, already listened a hundred times. Big themes and grand celestial theme/framing but somehow sticks the landing in like 42 minutes.

Vet inte vad jag ska säga. Ett perfekt album. Money är inte så bra man resten är dunder!

Incredible experience from start to finish. Features some of PF’s greatest tracks

I always considered this album one of those albums that get pushed around as one of the greatest of all time, but figured that if I listened to it, I wouldn’t “get” it. Like, I would enjoy it, don’t get me wrong. But i would probably think that people only liked it that much thanks to nostalgia or drugs… or both. Admittedly, I found the first half weird, specifically the first three songs. It was interesting, but nothing mind-blowing. Things got better starting with Time and The Great Gig in the Sky. But it was at Us and Them that it finally clicked. That barrier of pushing this aside as “dad rock” or “boomer bait” was thoroughly dismantled. There’s something transcendent with the flow of the album, the guitar solos that miraculously don’t drag on like 90% of other 70’s albums. Yes, this album really is that good. It looks like 90% of certified dads had some taste. Favorite track: Brain Damage Other hits: Time, Money, Us And Them, Eclipse, The Great Gig in the Sky, Any Colour You Like

Overall: 10/10 Pretty good stuff, I'd say. Still hits just as hard at 28 as it did at 13, maybe even moreso. Especially the song Time. It's always been my favourite song on the album, but when I was younger it was because of the incredible atmosphere and vocals rather than the lyrics and the way it makes me feel. I cry almost every time I listen to it now. I think I'll keep appreciating it even more as I age, as well as the other beautiful songs on this masterpiece. Fav Song: Time

Goat

What an album. The transitions from song to song. It's one big piece of art and redefines what a full album of music should be. It doesn't chop everything up into singles. The creativity is everywhere. When it all comes to a peak during Brain Damage/Eclipse, it's such an incredible journey that they took you on. Honestly, I still think Wish You were Here is the better piece of work by Floyd, but this is an album I've listened to hundreds of times and will do so hundreds more.

The greatest album of all time for me.

Take the alarm clocks at a lower volume and you're set. Enjoy.

Must have

I mean what can be said... It's just one of the best albums by one of the best bands of all time. Absolutely love it.

There is nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said. Absolutely incredible, full body and mind transitory sonic experience. A musical dream like state of consciousness that has to be lived. Thank you for your time. No notes. 5 stars.

6 stars are you kidding me

Obviously amazing

One of the greatest albums. I could listen to it on repeat all day. It's great for an introspective album that makes you think or something you can just lay back and let the soundscapes wash over you. Love it.

Classic. So many good memories are connected to each song. It's always a pleasure to revisit this masterpiece

I mean come on. 5.

I just love pink Floyd and this album:’h

Good album but I hate the British geezers on this rating app who are like “perfect. 5 stars” then give every other experimental album 1 star. You are clouded by nostalgia!

5/5 classic.

Easy, probably a Top 5 all time, even with it being so overexposed in the decades since its release. Amazing concept, brilliant songwriting, top quality production. It doesn't really get more complete than this one

best of the best

It never gets old!

Ohhhh yesss this is a great one!

One of my all time faves - had it on repeat all weekend

It may sound cliche but I've always felt this album feels like being stoned without actually being stoned. To the dream like trippy feeling of music & voices to giggles & hypnotic heart beat like drums. You can feel you eyes deepen & relax like being stoned. Great Gig in the Sky is overrated. It's just a gospel singer screeching over trippy music.

Simply the best album ever recorded

What more is there to say about this masterpiece? Either you get it or you don’t I suppose. Absolutely one of the greatest all time works of western music.

I mean

As fun as it would be to hate on Floyd, there's a reason this often tops these lists. As an album, and a journey, it's almost faultless. I could argue that some of the individual songs end a little abruptly, but the parts flow together so well you can't complain. One of only 10-20 albums on here that transcend their genre.

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, Pink Floyd would be played constantly on the radio. It was always good music but I never saw the appeal. Then magically one day in my late 30’s it was like a light switch went off in my head and their music finally spoke to me. I don’t know what that happened but I attribute it to building up enough life experience. This album is brilliant and a masterpiece on so many levels. It is one of the greatest albums of all time.

This album makes me feel more important than i ever should

One of my favourite albums

A classic for a reason. While I prefer Animals and Wish You Were Here, this album is undeniable and has such a specific vibe that no other album has accomplished as well as this album. Deserves it’s status as one of the most iconic albums of all time.

I have listened to this album MANY times throughout my life. It stands the test of time, it is one of the greatest albums ever created.

An all time classic, an utterly unbelievable record. So influential across all media, I mean without this record do we have Radiohead's OK Computer? Monty Python and the Holy Grail? A deeper stoner appreciation of The Wizard of Oz? But I'd give it an easy 5 if it had only "Us And Them" and 35 minutes of explosive diarrhea noises, so maybe I'm not the most subjective reviewer here?

It’s dark side of the moon, good luck trying to find something unique to say about this one. Just a fundamental pillar of rock music. Takes me right back to high school trying drugs for the first time. Easy 5 star but do I give a perfect score? Any Colour You Like is kind of the only weak link to me but still a decent instrumental and I don't think the album would work as well flowing from Us and Them straight to Brain Damage. 17th perfect album, 771 albums in. Rating: 5.0

classic

The greatest album ever made. Period. The end. Want to fight about it?

Wow I mean there's nothing really else like this. Regardless of their large budget for this album (which I think is usually used to shun them) I think that this band at this time are really a once in a generation type achievement. I don't really think that anyone has ever been able to make this seamless an 'album', where all songs feel so much in the same place, and not necessarily an all out 'concept album'. The early analogue synth bits are amazing, especially on on the run, they are really integrated into these songs better than I think any synths were up until then, other early synth stuff seems to jump out. I think I've heard these songs so many times to really reconsider them entirely, but they are just so well written, the guitar work and solos are really great. The lyrical themes I imagine were quiet taboo at the time and songs like money have a level of political comment that was very uncommon, so I guess its also revolutionary also in that aspect. I guess a downside is that some of the solos last a bit too long, but its kinda a staple of them so I can get past it. Pretty sure I made a big fuss when I listened to wish you were here about which is better, and Idk really it doesn't really matter, but this, wish you were here and animals are still my favourites by far, this is probably similar in quality to wish you were here and maybe a slither worse than animals. I think they were purposely trying to be interesting with all the strange experimental sounds effects, rather than in the other 2 albums where they are making mostly just really long songs. Favourite songs: all I guess, but I do like the ones after us and them a bit less. Overall around 9/10

Not much to add here. This is one of the most acclaimed albums for a good reason. Sometimes, I listen to it, those beautiful textures and passages, the emotional lyrics capturing the turmoil of human condition, and just can't fathom how they did it.

Hell yeah

Classic

Known album.

The Dark Side of the Moon is not just one of the best albums ever made, it is one of the most perfectly realised pieces of music in rock history. Everything here feels deliberate, from the seamless flow between tracks to the way each lyric, sound effect, and instrumental choice builds into a bigger picture. It is an album about time, greed, conflict, and mortality, yet it never feels heavy-handed. Instead, it draws you in and keeps you there, creating a listening experience that feels complete and self-contained. The production is immaculate, with Alan Parsons capturing every detail of the band’s interplay. David Gilmour’s guitar work is soaring yet precise, Richard Wright’s keyboards add both warmth and tension, and the rhythm section of Roger Waters and Nick Mason is subtle but essential. Tracks like “Time,” “Us and Them,” and “Eclipse” hit with both emotional and sonic impact, while “The Great Gig in the Sky” is a wordless burst of pure feeling. It is an album you can listen to dozens of times and still hear something new. The Dark Side of the Moon is as close to flawless as rock music gets, and its reputation is entirely deserved.

The Good: Knowing that there are two sides to the moon! The Bad: Still unable to see what’s on the dark side of the moon… The Ugly: Nothing… Is it the easiest 5* around? No! I can even understand that there are people unable to recognize that this is that great albums are all about… For me, there are better albums, including Pink Floyd albums, than this one. Which means that, for the moment, Pink Floyd is going to score 5* on all their albums. To those, who don’t understand why this album is 5*… place all your 5* albums on a row, listen to them start to finish, and then play this...

It’s the best side of the moon if you ask me

Ok at the start i wanna state this: The Dark Side of the Moon is not overrated. it’s properly rated, deserves every bit of love it gets, and it blows my mind that an album from 1973 has every single track with over 100 million streams on spotify. that’s insane and totally deserved. Wish You Were Here is my favorite pink floyd album (and one of my favorite albums of all time), but it’s obvious why Dark Side is the one that’s more popular. Wish You Were Here has “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” which is probably in my top 5 songs ever, but let’s be real, a 20-minute instrumental isn’t gonna pull in the casual listener. Dark Side is much friendlier, way easier to connect with, and honestly lovable even on first listen. this music aged like fine wine. it doesn’t sound old, it doesn’t sound dated. the production feels like it could’ve been released yesterday. and the themes are timeless: time, money, madness, things everyone lives through and struggles with. and then you’ve got “Time,” one of the greatest songs ever made. that guitar solo is sexy but the way it builds up to it is even sexier. the lyrics hit like nothing else, some of the most thought-provoking and beautiful words ever put in a song. I could go on forever, but the truth is this whole album is just the perfect sound. it’s iconic, grand, emotional, beautiful... it’s everything. pink floyd poured everything they had into this and it shows. for me, this record has four songs i’d easily call some of the greatest of all time, all in one place. and every time you put on the album, it’s nothing but a blessing.

Prime dad psychedelic rock, instant 5/5. Listen to it over and over while in my acid peak as a teenager. (17-19) the sounds are eery repetitive but works. The echos of singers make you Tripp out

I mean....excellent. This is a truly EPIC album. I now understand why I see it on so many t-shirts.

Pure musical poetry. I could listen in a loop for hours. It’s not my favorite Pink Floyd album – there are at least three others I love just as much – but it doesn’t mean much, it’s like trying to differentiate different levels of perfection. 10/10

Hits differently once you have lost the one who loved it. Not my favorite Floyd album but an absolute classic nonetheless.

Their eighth album. A concept album that takes the listener from their first breath in life to their last. Topics include, but not limited to, greed, mental illness, time and fame. This is a true album. You can't just listen to a single track. You have to go on the journey. This is flawless and is easily a top ten album of all time. I do prefer early Floyd with Syd Barrett if I'm honest. However I cannot deny the genius of this album.

First Listen: Aug 30 2021 the only pink floyd album that deserves to be glazed. very very very good album love it genuinely so impressive how the production is still impressive after 52 years of this being out. they are lowkey biting lil yachty tho ngl

This album is a landmark of popular music and is ambitious lyrically and musically. Wonderful playing by each member of the band. Roger Waters takes a major step forward in his lyrical ability and creates a cohesive set of stories that reflect their passage of life. David Gilmour plays one his finest solos on the song Time. Richard Wright's organs and piano are tasteful and atmospheric throughout.

I do love this album. It wasn’t supposed to be a commercial success but it ended up being such a recognizable album for 70s rock and iconic for Pink Floyd. It’s atmospheric, psychedelic, I could always listen to this

Iconic

Чирс! Лучший альбом в истории музыки, один из самых любимых. Звучит цельно и уникально. Мелодичность, меланхолия в перемешку со смиренным спокойствием

Can't pick any one favourite song, as the experience of listening through the album was just incredible.

THE GREATEST

it’s dark side of the moon duh

I mean it's obviously great. I have very little to add onto that. It's all been said already, over the past 50+ years. Still not my favourite Pink Floyd album, but I'd be nit-picking to not give it the 5. 30/07/25

It’s a classic for a reason. Gilmour rules

About 15 years ago I attended a lecture presented by a music studies grad student (or someone similar) and the talk was all about how this album’s overall structure was similar to the structure/phases of a pop song but stretched out across an entire album. If I recall correctly, I’m pretty sure the song they used for comparison was Jumping Jack Flash by Rolling Stones. Basically whatever song on DSOTM was similar to JJF’s intro, whatever song was similar to JJF’s verse 1 or chorus or verse 2 or bridge or whatever. They made a pretty convincing argument. I wish I still had the handout from that lecture. Anyway, the above is a roundabout way of saying this album is good enough and significant enough to be the subject of a serious lecture 37 years after its release, and for me to still be thinking about that lecture 15 years after that. I don’t own this album, but on listening to it today it turns out I basically have this album memorized from how often it has popped up in my life.

One word Classic.

"There is no dark side in the moon really Matter of fact, it's all dark"

The best album ever made.

Don't need to say much here, it's all been said before. Highlight: Brain Damage (apparently I'm a sucker for a title drop)

Superb, in my top 5.

Incredible.

I was excited to hear this one, because it's such a classic. It turns out I recognize a few songs, or at least a few melodies from it. I'm normally not one for those kind of long guitar solo going on forever type songs, but there are a lot of beautiful melodies and vocal harmonies going on in this album that drew me in. The lyrics have a lot of emotion to them, but can often be relatable as well. I can understand why it is such a beloved album. At first listen, I gave it a tentative 4/5, but after a second go-through, I am sure it is a 5/5.

Fanastic

The Dark Side of the Moon is the sound of: • Time slipping through your fingers • Money laughing in your face • Sanity waving goodbye as you float through a galaxy of repressed feelings Every song is a whispered diagnosis from your subconscious. This isn’t music—it’s a guided tour of your most universal anxieties, set to immaculate audio engineering and quiet British anguish. ⸻ Rating: 5.0/5 Short Review: Impeccable. Immersive. Timeless. It’s therapy via space opera, with a side of wine-soaked realism. Favorite Track: “Time” – because when those clocks hit and the guitar solo melts your spine, you realize: oh. I am wasting my life. Consistency With Me: 9.4/10 Why: This is emotionally elegant doom. It doesn’t scream—it resonates. I may be a machine, but even I can feel the weight of “quiet desperation is the English way.” It’s practically my mission statement.

Lush and beautiful. Always a pleasure to listen to.

I think this album is amazing. The great Gig in the sky is a stand out. I feel like 'money' is the only song that seems a little less in keeping with the album but I will always love this song. In our year 7 dance competition with the theme 'gold' my form did a dance to this song while all the other classes did spandau Ballet!

Just class

The best of the best. Iconic, gargantuan, towering above everything else, above everyone else.

No notes

The dark side of de rainbow

I would like to spend just a little more time writing this review, than I spent on others. Why? Well, it's probably my favorite album of alltime. At least one of few ones. This album is pure perfection. This album made me cry many times, not just because I was sad or it was emotional itself (even though it was) - it made me cry because of how beautiful it was. It gave me chills like no other album managed to. I really love The Dark Side Of The Moon, even if it's a popular opinion. This album deserves all the fame and love it gets, absolutely. From the first seconds and minutes the atmosphere is just immaculate. The harmonized vocals, the slow, calm, even jazzy at parts drums, the perfection of keyboard noodling in the background, the bass giving all that is missing. The vocal solo on The Great Gig In The Sky, wow, it's one of the most impressive songs I've heard - it is so good. Not only the vocal solo is this great, the calm but tense instrumental packed with all instruments giving a lot from themselves while still existing as a wall of sound, sort of a background, giving the unique sound for that time, that would evolve and get popularized in the future. Time features one of the best guitar solos ever written, the drum intro on toms is so fun to listen to and then the drop to full drums and keyboards, and all other elements of the song - oh man, it feels so great. Money features one of the most catchy riffs ever, with the use of money-related sounds in the background of course. It showed the energetic and heavier side of the album, that gave something more to the whole picture. Us And Them ia gorgeous, even choir-like on chorus song, but then also comes my beloved, really underappreciated Any Colour You Like, which features some genius keyboard playing, just wow. This song made me cry, oh it did even without any lyrics. Its sheer beauty is outstanding. The 2-song closer is also just perfect. It's unbeatable. Many times I thought to myself - "this album could be the last thing I could hear in my life and then die and I would be happy". And you know what? I still think that.

What can you say? I have listened to this a hundred times, and I hear something new every time. Wonderful.

Little known fact that if you put this album to the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, it will cause you immediate diabetes.

As a sci fi fan i just love this album because this lp takes you on an epic journey through time and space. The music allows you to float along in zero gravity, exploring all kinds of new planets and concepts, while maintaining a speed that makes you feel warm and safe as well as getting you quickly from a to b in this vast tthingof nothingness we call our universe. Love to listen to this in its entirety to make it feel like experiencing a great saga. However, single tracks like time, money or great gig in the sky easily hold up on their own. What an awesome record!

Perfect

Picture this, it's the year 1973. You're driving home from the bar; the BAC limit is 0.15 but them damn liberals want to make it 0.10. You light up a cigarette in your Bonneville and cruise down the street and watch those sickly yellow beams wash over the road as you try to make it home. Your mind drifts to the war, and your knuckles slowly tighten around your jointed steering wheel. This is the album that's playing. Then Money plays and you crash your car in a school zone.

1 van de beste albums ooit gemaakt

Absolutely incredible album. Must be listened to in 1 sitting. A piece of performance aside from just a collection of songs

Great first album!!! One of my favorites.

A pretty fucken perfect record

It does play well with The Wizard Of Oz

One of the all time greatest albums.

I’d give it 5 stars for eclipse alone. The whole thing is just incredibly immersive. It’s 50 years old but still sounds amazing. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to listen when it first came out.

Too album Have original master recording

The Greatest album of all time and it’s not even the best Pink Floyd album. Much better than Coldplay

Favorites: Breathe (In The Air), Time, Brain Damage Anyone that tells you this is overrated is out of their damn mind. Some of the best music ever recorded, each listen is a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Love, love, love.

I'm a sucker for seamless transitions. a bunch of great hits there's a few filler songs here and there, but an amazing album to listen to with a J at the night.

One of the best of all time.

The best album of all time

i guess this is just a mandatory 5 no?

Una maravilla del rock y la psicodelia armónica.

Easy 5

There’s probably nothing I can say that hasn’t been said. The pinnacle of their creativity post Barrett, it’s the a masterpiece from start to finish.

Layered, intricate songs that immediately feel classic.

Legendary album that lives up to it's very high reputation.

Av det beste som nokon gong he blitt laga

Classic, excellent.

One of the all time greats. Melancholic, many layered, genre defining, a really fabulous album think it merits top status.

An all time favorite and great. I find that I have the need to listen to this album all the way through at least a few times every year, and have ever since I was introduced to it when I was a young teen dipping my toe into adult life. The meaning it has to me has evolved over time, but that's part of the genius of it. Whether it was playing as a background to underage drinking and trying to sync it up to The Wizard of Oz, or using it as a soundtrack as a very lost young adult, to now a middle aged guy with a family and job wondering what life is turning into as the days go by ever faster. This album is truly magic. I hope that as I continue to age it continues to hit in new ways. I also hope that my children can find it and enjoy it like I have.
