The Dark Side Of The Moon

Masterpiece!

mid

Yah this would be one of those several times where the list gives me an album I don’t even need to listen to again cause I know it extremely well just from being a massive rock n roll and heavy metal fan. It’s very hard to go this long in life without hearing this album at some point. Now I should preface this by saying I’m not a Pink Floyd koolaid drinker. I think they are great but I don’t think they are/were the best. That being said this album, as a whole and as a front to back experience, might be their best album. It’s definitely the most famous album not just of their discography but also of all time. It’s completely iconic and mind blowing. The only real criticism that I will say, is the album works so well as a whole that individually the songs are not as powerful. Like the only song I’d listen to off this album by itself is money. That’s the only real self contained song. But I don’t think that hurts the album very much.

I mean come on..... nothing needs to be said about this one

Another Pink Floyd masterpiece.

#Rally Review - Day 2## Do I really need to write a review for this one? Jamie: "Aw yea haven't really heard a bad song by Pink Floyd ay"

Yet another universally acclaimed Pink Floyd album where I am stuck at a loss for what to even add, I liked the first half a bit more I guess? That being said any album would be blessed with either side of this.

This is about as close as it gets to a perfect album. This could be my favourite album. No critiques worthy of note, if at all. The time is gone, the songs are over, thought I’d something more to say.

i've always been one of those faggots that says 'erm yeah i actually prefer wish you were here to dark side of the moon' but it is undeniably one of the best albums of all time. i think that overexposure is probably the only reason i dont prefer it. i'm not writing a full review because it would just be me fellating them all the way through. vocals, instrumentation, mastering, songwriting, lyricism. yeah it's good innit

My favourite track is the one where it sounds like SpongeBob has run afoul of the ANC.

Previously my favourite pink Floyd album and unfortunately this re-listen didn't do it justice. Im sure I'll return at some point and love it just as much as I used to but this time around it think im enjoying wish you were here a bit more. That's not a good thing for an album since im dropping a point. Still phenomenal though. 9/10

The album I avoid answering with when asked "What's your favourite Pink Floyd album?" because it's too obvious an answer. While I personally prefer Wish You Were Here this is undoubtedly peak Floyd. Following Syd Barrett's departure (ejection?), the band were a bit creatively lost and in the woods as to where were going. They meandered around a little and some incredible work came out of their experimentation (Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds) as they each tried their hand at songcraft. This album marks the peak of the group's collective creative output before Roger Waters became the lead (and eventually sole) creative driving force behind Pink Floyd. The best song on this album is arguably Time and it's the only track where every member of the band has writing credits (and also one of the only songs where Richard Wright is on vocals!). Technically this album is magnificent, the production and engineering is marvellous, the interviews with the roadies are cool and while the theming/concepts explored here aren't as nearly as deep or interesting as when this first released in 1973 or when I heard it at the age of 12 it's still a pretty holistic and fun as a concept album. I prefer Side B to Side A personally and that's the closest I can come up with in terms of criticism for this album. It literally never gets old, it is the gold standard for the album experience for me and it's extremely dear to me. I can't find the words to express just how much I love this album.

BEST. ALBUM. EVER.

Okay okay so I don’t know where I am right now I think I took a wrong turn after the second scarecrow but this album is playing in my earbuds. The way “Breathe” started just as the wind kicked up in this maze felt like the universe was syncing up with my brain or something. It’s like the album knows you’re freaking out a little bit and is like hey hey man just breathe it’s gonna be okay and suddenly the corn didn’t feel so menacing anymore. But then dude then “On the Run” came on and I straight up sprinted because it sounds like robots chasing you through time and I was 100 percent convinced someone was behind. Like it adds to the thrill, it wants you to feel the chaos and then boom you’re in “Time” and the clocks go off and I swear I ducked because I thought they were real. This band isn’t just making music they’re messing with your soul and your sense of direction and maybe your relationship with mortality. This album makes you feel like a tiny person in a giant swirling galaxy of emotions and it’s terrifying and beautiful and I love it. If I never make it out of here please tell my family I gave Dark Side 5/5 pumpkins because it carried me through this haunted corn dimension and honestly that’s all I could ever ask for.

Neman pojma šta više reć. Odličan je album i to je to

its dark side of the moon

Perhaps the best album of all time.

Look, there a reason it's sold so many copies. It's a masterpiece. For me it isn't my favourite Floyd album but you can't not give it 5 stars as it's pure perfection.

If I could give this a 4.9 I would, perfect album but it doesn’t top wish you were here

Amazing classic. Not much beats pink Floyd.

Obra de arte

I gave "Wish You Were Here" a 4 on this list because this album exists. This is one of the few automatic 5's on this list and after listening to the album again its 100% merited. For this particular genre of music you will be very hard-pressed to find an album better than this.

Bra album, sjøl om Money e ganske irriterande

duh - no notes

Riktigt bra

Serieus goed

My first Pink Floyd album on this list, and it's the one I'm supposed to like because it's the greatest album of all time. I've never listened to The Dark Side of the Moon before. I have heard some of The Wall, and I don't hate Pink Floyd, I just never bothered to listen to them before. It's good. This might be the first album I have listened to that had to be heard as an album. That alone ups the rating for something on an album list. Time and Money are the only tracks that do well without the others. That may be why I liked them the best. Best album ever? No Will I listen to it again? Yes, but not often. It's not background music. It demands attention. It is worth giving a 5? Yes

This is more than just music, it's an experience. I can casually enjoy a lot of music but this album takes the next step and actually effects me. It is memorable and an all time favorite. A masterpiece.

I doubt I have much to add to the discussion of Dark Side of the Moon. I certainly don't have the energy to do so - "Shorter of breath and one day closer to death." It is rightly popular and has sold many millions. I don't have the strength to verify the story that a German vinyl pressing plant existed solely to churn out copies of the album, but I can believe, given the number of copies I've seen around. The sales were definitely sufficient to make the band huge, securing them the totemic Lear jet, and making them the image of indulgent and indulged rock stars. The sort of arena prog that punk was supposed to displace. But Pink Floyd aren't prog. Certainly not on this record. Coming from psychedelia, they were performing epic instrumentals before the term prog was coined. There is nothing epic here anyway. The longest track is under eight minutes and its a slow jam, not a technical workout. The record is harmonically straight-forward, often vamping between two chords. Richard Wright brings in some jazzy 9ths, but easy to digest. And rhythmically? Nick Mason is never showy. The riff of Money is so catchy that you barely notice the time signature. Gilmour and Wright are virtuosic players, but also virtuous, observing the virtue of good taste. Nothing ever feels like an exercise. There is room to discuss favourite Floyd albums and some of the contenders can be faulted for indulgent, but Dark Side of the Moon remains the best - the world's favourite - Floyd album because it avoids these traps. While not merely a collection of songs, it is not a concept album either. It sits pleasingly between the two - too coherent to be broken down into tracks, but not knotted up on storytelling. The story, in fact, is the simple story of everyone's life: time, money, conflict, decline. The shape of a life rather than any person's life. The Wall gets specific and The Final Cut more specific still, but the generality of Dark Side makes it easy to relate to. Talking Heads Fear of Music is an interesting comparison. That is another album where the writer focuses sharply on concepts of modern living - Compare Air with Breathe; Life During Wartime with Us and Them; Heaven (where they play your favourite song ad nauseum) to the endless climax of The Great Gig in the Sky. Byrne's obsessions are tetchy and paranoid. Waters' are universal. Sad, contemplative, maybe even hopeless, but gentle. Almost reductive. However, we all think about these things (some of us all the time) and, even the instrumental breaks - the panicked On the Run - capture the process of rumination. The snatches of other voice remind us of thinking. Thinking isn't - or shouldn't be - isolating, it is a conversation between ourselves and the things we've read and seen, the people we've spoken with. This isn't just Roger Waters's angst on record, it's everyone's. ELP parodied Fanfare for the Common Man, but Dark Side of the Moon is for the common man. That's why everyone has a copy. Even my ma, a old punk, used to listen to it in the dark. And a German town is very thankful. Okay, perhaps not everyone. I went to see Future Bible Heroes in London in 2002. Stephin Merritt asked the small audience what the English way is. I was the only one in the two-hundred strong crowd (strong probably isn't the right word for so many indie weeds) who got his Floyd reference (itself a reference to Walden). Or I was the only one who shouted it out when asked for clarity on the line. The least awkward of the two interactions I've had with him. 5 The Dark Side of the Moon has many faults and all of them were apparent to me the first time I listened to this album, at about 15 or 16, and disliked it. ‘Boring’ I would have said ‘what are everyone’s parents talking about?’ I know what I mean. It is sort of boring; everything except On The Run is taken at a middle-aged 60-70 bpm and On The Run has its own special way of being boring. Lots of solos - bloody saxophone and organ as well as guitar. Pompous too; it’s about your whole Life and Everything (‘that’s the beat of a heart at the start of the record you know!’ as someone’s uncle is always telling you). It’s about Time and Money too; isn’t it time you bought another copy? ‘The 30th Anniversary Vinyl if you can manage to find it - the dynamic range on that one; the soundstage…’ as someone’s single uncle is always telling you. No matter which of Pink Floyd is singing they all sound like a weary English schoolmaster. Hmmm. I seem to have almost talked myself into not giving this 5 stars so I’ll stop. 5/5

Standout Songs: Breathe (In the Air) Time Money Us and Them Brain Damage Have always loved this album, and Pink Floyd in general. Nice getting something I recognize and enjoy.

This is my favorite album. It has a little bit of everything on it. And what can go wrong with David Gilmore playing. Absolutely nothing

Absolutely sublime

Love embodied

Top 10 album of all time. Genius. Never gets old.

It's a masterpiece that never gets tiresome to listen to. Although not my favorite Pink Floyd album, it still rates as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. I first listened to this album when I was 13 or so, and to revisit the song "Time" when I am now 56 certainly puts things into perspective. We spend most of our days focused on our daily activities and petty worries as life rushes by, "and then one day you find...." you're one day closer to death. The song "Us and Them" seems just as relevant today as it was over 50 years ago, as we are caught up in petty squabbles. One should put on this album and reflect on your life and just maybe be a better person before you go to "The Great Gig in the Sky".

One of the best albums of all time. Kudos to the sound engineers involved as well.

A classic.

The trio of this, Wish You Were Here, and Animals is perfection.

ok

Deserves it's status as one of the best albums of all time.

Omggg, YEEES! Beautiful!!! 😍 All the stars!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Time" is absolute jam!

I feel a little bad for thinking this was basic "dad" album. I was wrong.

Музыка настолько мощная, что даже подавляет. Для фона совершенно не подходит, только для вдумчивого прослушивания в полной тишине и покое. 8,5 из 10.

There isn’t much to say about Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon that hasn’t been said already. This isn’t just an album, it’s a moment, a point in time where music came together to form something far greater than itself. The Dark Side Of The Moon is what other artists aspire to create, it’s what has become the darling of so many, and what has influenced so many more. I can continue to go on with the loose adjectives, and how it takes very literal moments on the record (items that immediately spring to mind are the bashing chimes of a grandfather clock on Time, or the crass cha-chings of an old-time cash register on it’s most recognisable track, Money), but I use this time to cut to the chase. This is one of the greatest albums of all time, and something I am so finally glad I got around to listening to in full. Favourite tracks are the aforementioned Money, the ethereal Great Gig in the Sky, and Us and Them (which also turned into one of my favourite moments on the cut). Wherever you look, it’s expertly produced, and even 42 years from its release, timeless. A masterpiece in every sense of the word, and for the very first time: Five stars.

Spectacular

Even before playing this I know it's a 5. There are not many albums this good

Nothing to add that hasn't been said before. Simply one of the greatest albums ever made.

There is no such thing as a perfect album. Oh wait, there is. Universal concepts. A true concept album

I don’t know why it was such a shock when this generated but I relistened to it for the first time in a while. It was better than I remember, this album above all is beautiful sonically. “Breathe (In The Air) is actually a really great kickstart to the record “Time” is one of the greatest songs of all time. “The Great Gig In The Sky” is beautiful, “Money” has one of the greatest bass lines of all time. “Us And Them” is my favorite track here. “Brain Damage” has one of the most cathartic album title drops of all time and it’s two song suite with “Eclipse” is better than “Us And Them” imo despite individually both being worse than that song. I love this album, though I don’t connect with it in the same way many do and therefore it is not quite as high up in my humble opinion as the general consensus leaves it and it also isn’t my favorite Pink Floyd album. With that said this is easily a 5/5

Awesome album about the human condition. There’s not one bad song on this album although the lyrics can get a little depressing sometimes.

A masterpiece. Would give 6 stars if I could. Everything I like about music. Inventive, rich and deep. More like this.

One of my favorite classic rock albums. Best on vinyl.

One of the best rock albums of all time. Love this album. Highly layered songs, that are extremely intricate. Great compositions from start to finish. Yes this is over indulgence but I'm ok with it here. Love this album!

A classic and deservedly so.

Call me a basic boi in a college dorm if you must but there's a reason all them posters is there. Social commentary, tasty choirs, and every track runs into the next?? They really nailed it

Exceptional album!

Classic. "The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older." Great album to drive with all the windows down on a country road. Perfect from start to finish.

Reading reviews and seeing the breakdowns about how this is the best produced album ever, and I don't know that I could disagree. Perfect. The layering, the way each song flows into each other, the way the album can repeat into itself with the heartbeat. I remember listening to the Great Gig in the Sky on full volume in the car during a rainstorm during a breakup. That shit hit hard.

Possibly my favorite album of all

Right off the bat: I don't love this. A lot of it is boring, and as someone who doesn't smoke weed, and possibly more importantly did not smoke weed as a teenager, this album doesn't have those associations that maybe a lot of other people seem to have. So is it overrated? Yes. Is it also very good? Yes. I regularly ding albums for not having shape, well, this one DOES. In spades. The boring stuff fits into a larger whole, even when it gets annoyingly noodly. The fact that this had singles is kinda wild, it really is one complete piece. No individual song is particularly GOOD, but the whole thing together, man. Respect where it's due.

Day502 - a masterpiece that’s just as good driving or sitting in your room chilling

fav: the great gig in the sky least fav: on the run

Top 5 records of all time. Incredible!

I find myself giving this a 5 mostly because I've been far too generous with 4s recently. I have listened to it in full a couple of times before and have always enjoyed it for the most part. It's definitely a single piece of art more than it is a collection of songs though. There's not a single song on the album that I would add to a playlist. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I think I prefer albums with one or two great songs carrying six or seven average ones than eight above average songs that flow well together. The opening "song" and 'On the Run' are both forgettable which makes for a pretty bad start. 'Time' and 'Money' are probably the best songs on the album. The last four songs could have been a single song and I wouldn't have noticed. The album cover is legendary. Possibly the most recognisable one of all time, or at least top 5. But I think that is part of the problem. It's so legendary that it's almost impossible for it to live up to the hype. All that being said, it's certainly an experience and a good one at that. Is it perfect? No. But it comes close.

i had a DSOTM patch on my bag at school. comfortably the coolest thing 17 year old me ever did

Yay!!!!!!great album

My favo(u)rite album! That said, I am copying a review I found on Song Meaning site some years ago as even though I don't agree with all of it I do agree with most of it. Will say that I think this is a rare album with not a wasted second on it. Also On The Run is way ahead.of it's time as an electronic tune, almost dance music. "To understand Eclipse you must interprete the album: the album reflects life as it is. Breathe: First your heartbeat begins/grows, you start to breathe and you are born. You get exposed external sounds and influences (like adult's voices saying things you cannot yet understand) but you get also exposed to your mother's cares and worries ('smiles you'll give, and tears you'll cry') and good advices ('balance on the biggest wave, you race towards an early grave'). Time: You grow up and enter into the ratrace of society, you realize passing of time and experience first disappointments ('no-one told you when to run..') and what it means to get older ('every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time'). Money: The materialistic phase of your life, working and earning money, not thinking much of the greater things in life. Us and them: The elderly phase of life: you have seen it all, and you feel you have done your part. You become narrowminded and start talking about 'us' and 'them'. Like many elderly people do, you retract socially in a more inner circle of close family and friends. Society as a whole becomes less important, because you realize you will not be part of it for a long time anymore. Brain damage: In the next phase your brain degenerates, you become detached from the outside world and 'real' people do not see anymore what you think. You loose touch with reality, your mind starts doing its own ways, but it feels to you like the rest of the world is doing strange things ('when the band you're in starts playing different tunes'). You get locked up in an institution or an elderly home, but more importantly, you get locked up in your head, sometimes even purposely by 'making the cut' (lobotomy). Eclipse: The end. Finally, all actions and apparent contradictions and conflicts in life are resolved and disappear at the point of death (=the sun is eclipsed by the moon: the night falls for your brain). Even time itself disappears ('all that is now, all that is gone, all that's to come'). At this point everything melts together and you find/realize/experience that 'everything under the sun is in tune' and that all struggles were constructs of your conscious brain). Then the heartbeat stops. You're gone... I see no messages or judgements, or philosophies about darkness, just a tale about the phases of life. It helps me to realize what lies ahead for all of us. The Dark Side of the Moon is one of those rare works of Art where message, form and performance have come together in a perfect marriage."

Straight up one of my favourite albums of all time. No questions about how many stars.

How do you even talk about this thing without sounding like a stoned college kid? It’s like someone cracked open the universe and pressed it onto vinyl. Haunting choirs, existential dread, cash machines, clockwork all working together like some fever dream of logic. It’s prog rock that feels earned, like a thesis instead of a jam session. Makes most albums feel like demo tapes. Holy hell. Spins: All Day Playlist Additions: - All The Songs

As good as it fucking gets, but not their best album. This is when prog became music. Introspective, scathing, all-encompassing and intensely relatable.

What can I say about this album that hasn't already been said? A classic album if ever there was one. It's still as fresh and relevant today as it's ever been.

Many of the albums on this project I have either never or rarely listened to… not this one!! *May* not be my favorite Pink Floyd album (depends on the day) but definitely a classic.

Dark Side of the Moon treats its audience with respect. It trusts that people are patient and are willing to wait for good things. Structure is everything to this record, imagine if they’d tried the CD era trick of kicking the album off with this LP’s big single ‘Money’? The track listing is intelligent and rewards people for listening to it as a whole. Pink Floyd are not experimental in the sense that bands like Throbbing Gristle or Suicide are experimental, but they manage to take some relatively awkward ideas and make them palatable for a very broad audience. It is this element that makes Dark Side of the Moon one of the most exceptional albums of all time. The ability to make something pretty surprising translate it in a way that any human being could appreciate. The triumphant wall of sound moments pressed up against the modest, gentle moments are perfection. The general mix and tone of every element of this album is unbeatable. The tension between the relatable down to Earth vocals and the cinematic out of this world instrumentation is phenomenal. Basically, this is a great album.

Easy 5

I'd not listened all the way through before and this is such a coherent and enjoyable piece of work. Superb and beautiful.

Girl we’ve been knew. FIYAH

One of my all-time favorites. A classic in the truest sense.

A perfect album. A perfect example of a perfect album. Opening heartbeat, bass, samples, blending into each of the next. Musically epic, this album is gushed over for a reason to the point of being a cliché. Ive loved this album and knew I'd be excited when it showed up on here. What I wasn't expecting is that it took longer for me to get to actually listening to this than any of the other albums I've been given so far. I think this was in large part because of my history with and reverence for the album. I'm not going to "review" this. That'd be silly at this point. I'll just happily chime in with everyone else- 5/5.

This entire album is smooth and beautiful. It is an entire vibe that needs to be consumed in one sitting with the lyrics sitting in front of you. It is a masterpiece.

It's cliche but I almost feel forced to rate this album a 5. It's great for a reason and deserving of the plaudits. 9/10 (4.5/5)

Het is niet het beste Pink Floyd album, maar dit is gewoon het beste album ooit gemaakt (Volg je hem nog?). Geweldig hoe alles op elkaar aansluit, het tackelt veel sociale problemen en laat je ook nog even het gevoel hebben dat je high bent

It’s a 4.5 and I’m rounding up. No, who am I kidding, it’s a 5. I’ve listened to this album so many times, but this close listen was different. There’s a flow, a swing, a mood that keeps the energy high and constant. I think using similar-ish chord patterns across some songs do something that makes the album feel like a dream. Will continue to return for listens again. I also remember feeling particularly proud in high school when I used the lyrics of “Time” as an away message; I’ve never forgotten that and also the lyrics are even more haunting the older I/we get—which I guess is the point of the song. in

This album, weed and headphones = perfect teenage cocktail.

all-timer. do the kids still get high and sync it up with the wizard of oz? anyway, this one's an all-time medley up there with Abbey Road's back half.

Pink Floyd is a good rock band and this is a good album

Their most popular album is clearly the best in Pink Floyd’s catalogue. The daily album project has given me more Pink Floyd to chew on than I’d ever been interested enough to previously get into - I don’t love all of it but there’s no question this album kicks ass front to back.

Yeah, cool.

Unfortunately… triangle rainbow album good. Amazingly atmospheric and every song melts beautifully into the next. You find something new in every listen. It really deserves the hype.

Ashamed to admit I’ve never actually listened to this all the way through before today. I feel like you HAVE to listen to it as an album in full. Many of the songs don’t work as well stand alone with their big extended intros and whatnot. Was definitely really good but people cream their jorts over this album and I think that’s a little extreme.

yeah no this is perfect

Favourite songs: Breathe (In The Air), Time, Eclipse

One of the Greatest Albums ever created!!!!

I mean, it’s dark side…

5- Stars (13/15)

Incredible. Flows start to finish. Saga

One of the greatest albums of all time

Everything under the sun is in tune.

Brilliant album from start to finish, it's one of my all time favourites

A classic for sure.

No comment!

Timeless classic

An amazing album that nails the atmosphere throughout. Clare Torry's vocals are incredible and certainly carry many of the songs, I only wish she had a heavier feature.

No notes

Fenomenalan album koji prerijetko slušam. All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. Divotica

5/5

Heard this for the first time last year and loved it (surprising myself, considering how much I don't like prog), but delighted to have it come up so I can do a thorough review. Love the audio panning and song phasing throughout. Speak to Me - LOVE the build, the panning, the unsettling dialogue and laughs, the screaming - incredible start. Breathe (In the Air) - the type of dreamy prog I can get behind. Reminds me of Comfortably Numb/ same sort of transcendent feel. On the Run - obsessed with the futuristic and frenetic sound. Feels like an intense sci-fi video game. Time - love the straightforward rock coming in after an atmospheric start, and how the song then gets dreamy again before the guitar solo. The Great Gig in the Sky - love the dialogue over dreamy piano at the start, and the guitar slide the same as Comfortably Numb. Tremendous vocalising. Love the transition from a hard to soft sound. Money - classic - love the time signature - cool to have a straightforward song on such an experimental album, but then the dreamy fade out blends it in to the cohesive whole in a great way. Us and Them - gorgeous riff when the guitar comes in, then the unexpected minor chord is a cool throw-off. Feel like the fade out would have been new at the time? Love the unexpected harmony on "who is who" and "round and round". Any Colour You Like - this is the weakest one on the album for me - the sort of dreamy prog I switch off on. Brain Damage - "The lunatic is on the grass" - incredible opening line. Love the little guitar squeals responding to each line. Also love to see an album title featured in a song! Eek - the laugh in the second verse gave me a heart attack. Eclipse - A Jean-Michel Jarre sound to the instrumental at the start - great sense of building on the previous track, and bringing in similar vocalisation to The Great Gig in the Sky, making a really satisfying end to the album. The final sung words to, rounding off the theme. And then the Irish accent of the doorman! Perfect.

Already time for this?! Wow!! That came along quickly!!!! I mean… 5/5, what a remarkable album. Speaks very aptly on the human condition and all it entails. Also wasn’t expecting to enjoy the music/instrumentals of it so much. My expectations going in were that it would be great but not necessarily to my taste. However, I really throughly enjoyed it and can see why people say it’s the best ever, GOAT. It’s not my favorite album of all time, but I can completely recognize the genius behind it and the fact that it so gorgeously flowed from one song to the next. And for 45 minutes, that felt like 10. Magic, purely. :) I really loved the horn in Us and Them. It was SOOOO beautiful. Really, though, I do actually think all the musical elements of it were some of my favorite parts of the whole album. Along, of course, with some magnificent songwriting. Just lovely, all around. Also loved his voice at certain points (not always, but certain points). Almost simpler than I expected. It was easily understood, as well. Thought it would be out of reach, only for those deeply involved in music and its creation. Yet alas, I was proven wrong, and the common layperson can indeed appreciate this album. 5 glorious stars. Let’s go!!

Can I give it extra stars? This is the album I’ve been using as a benchmark for top rating.

I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do. I don’t mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There’s no reason for it, we got to go sometime.

One of the all time greats! 6/5

See all reviews. This one is it.

Banger

A no brainer.

A classic masterpiece, ahead of its time, deserves the praise. I can digest PF easier than other prog rock artists, it's not my favourite genre.

wow

Absolute classic

An album that still marks a generation, The Dark Side of the Moon doesn't need many words to convey its message. The album is filled with well-produced songs and beautiful melodies, demonstrating that feelings don't always need words to be expressed. Although classic rock isn't as popular as it once was, its songs will forever remain etched in the minds and hearts of those who listened to them.

Classic

Another 5 star album that I've listened to many, many times. It's not my all-time favorite Pink Floyd Album, that would be Meddle, but this is a great one.

I'm not a big fan of Pink Floyd. I often don't get the hype. This is, however, a stellar album from start to finish. 5 stars.

Pure gold

Here we go! Perfection

5+

Best track: "Us and Them," the perfect blend of Rick Wright's composition and Roger Waters' lyrics.

Absolute classic. One of the best albums of all time.

The instrumentals on this album were truly incredible. Totally listening again. Favorite Tracks: Money GGITS Us & Them Rating: 9.8/10

EXCELLENT!

5/5, absolute masterpiece

I know a lot of people that have spent more time listening to this album than they did dating their spouse. I burned out on it in the 70s but that doesn't mean that IT burned out. 5 stars.

About the easiest 5 stars there will be on this list. Just a masterpiece, plain and simple, which I enjoyed just as much today as the first time I heard it.

4.5 stars

Pure quality

I remember first listening to this album when I was 14. I listened to a lot of Pink Floyd in those days. I didn’t really know what to listen to but I’d heard of Pink Floyd and how they were this “progressive rock” band which appealed to my teenage brain that strongly wanted to be different and weird. Little did I know that The Dark Side Of The Moon was one of the best selling records of all time lol. Regardless, this is a fundamental album to my music taste from the very beginnings of my musical journey so getting to return to it today after way too long of a time was a wonderful privilege. I can’t imagine giving this record anything less than 5 stars, and frankly it’s a wonderful break from the onslaught of annoying 70s rock I’ve gotten before this. It’s a good reminder that 70s rock can be and is good, and sometimes even delicious.

Nur geil

I remember listening to this in my room in Bexhill when I was about 16 and was kind of blown away.

There's no point reviewing this. I don't even know where I would start.

Best Ever!

This has to be one of the best albums ever made. Every time I listen to it, I legitimately picture floating in space and landing on the moon. Dark Side of the Moon merges, pop, rock, jazz, and prog to make a concept album that people are still trying to replicate. Best Songs: Breathe, Time, Us and Them, Brain Damage Worst Songs: NA

Perfect album without a wasted second

🔥 🔥 🔥

EXCEPTIONAL. no wonder it’s part of 100 best albums of all time.

A masterpiece that I've heard a billion times and never gets old.

This concept album rules (guy who heard this for the first time). 5 stars

amazing

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Already an all time favourite but it’s been a little while since I listened to it in full. Just shut my eyes and laid down with good headphones on and oh boy is this thing stunning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yep, it’ll pass.

Pues pink floyd, ta bien, siempre ta bien pink floyd

ya la escuche( lo volví a escuchar) fav ssong: time the great gig at the sky us and them

it's dark side of the moon

Great

Still underrated, I don't know how this can be possible

Great album. Iconic album. Makes me wanna eat some mushrooms 🤣

8,67

5/5 no notes!

wow so good, forgot i was listening to just took me on a journey

The Classic

Certainly a contender for the best album of all time.

> the Beatles Not even much of a pink Floyd fan but this album is great

4.5/5 great album but just personally not my complete taste

I have nothing to add that hasn't been said already. Subjectively, this might very well be the greatest album ever made, and it deserves all the praise it gets.

Knew it already but did not have the time to listen to it all the way through this time 😅

Timeless Classic. Perfect from the first to last song. Time is imho one of the best Floyd tracks.

Ok maybe it is the best album of all time, maybe it isn’t But the sound & vibe of this album was ahead of its time & shaped a lot of music/ production methods afterwards

Fuck yes! One of the best albums of all time! This is probably my favorite album by Pink Floyd and this has to be one of their if not their best albums!

Nothing needs to be said.

I’m shocked this was not on my list of 25-30 albums that got honorable mention on my Top Ten of all time list. This is my favorite Pink Floyd album, as I suspect it is for most fans. Kinda like of people (I assume) picking Sgt. Pepper as their favorite Beatles album (not in my top five). Other PF fans prefer The Wall or Wish You Were Here. Jeff White’s fave is Animals — it takes all kinds. I’ve never paid much attention to the lyrics on DSOM, although I know much has been written about and analyzed them. It’s the music and production here that’s amazing. The songs are catchy, fun to sing along to, and David Gilmour’s guitar work is superb. The female singing on The Great Gig in the Sky is a highlight and gives me chills each time the vocal part hits. It sounds fantastic in surround sound, with lots of great effects on Money and Time. Hearing Money on Top 40 radio was great in high school — a shortened version but great nonetheless.

Another one of the albums that got me to move from top 40 to indie/alternative stuff in middle school. And probably still the classic rock album I put on the most. Just an absolute classic from top to bottom. As I think more about this, I remember that sixth grade was incredibly difficult for me. A new school, roughly 3x the size of my elementary school, with new cliques to navigate. A lot of my friends seemed to adjust quickly, and I didn’t. School was harder and I didn’t coast to the best grades anymore. I was in the middle of puberty. I felt like everything was changing too rapidly to keep pace and that made me terribly sad. And at the end of the school year my dad announced we were moving. Against that backdrop, this album came into my life. There has rarely been a sixth grade American child so primed to 100% *feel* “The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older / Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.” “Time” and “Money,” especially, got their hooks into me. (I have tried to make a career of “do goody good bullshit.” “Money” may legitimately have been my introduction to class consciousness.) You can have alarm clocks on a pop record? You can use a cash register as a drum machine? You can have a “Breathe” verse at the end of “Time”? I was awed at a record with instrumental tracks. I didn’t understand having a guest vocalist (say, on “the great gig in the sky”) and that just fed into the mythos of this album: you can do that? I heard this before Abbey Road so the two-part “medley” of songs at the end also blew my mind. This album changed how I thought about albums and music in general, and it has been a steady companion since. There will not be an easier 5 in this project, because I think no album better meets the criteria.

Probably biased, since this is one of my top five favorite albums of all time, and A Great Gig in the Sky is one of my all-time favorite songs.

"Please leave a review" well I doubt they need my blessing. Best tracks: The one where they say Dark Side of the Moon. The one with the guitar. The one with the man from 1857 wittering on. The one with the heartbeats. The one that goes dunuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnun wibble wobble wibble wobble. The one where they complain about the thing they are to this day receiving unimaginable amounts of from this record.

Still so awesome! I saw them in concert in about '73 right after they released this album.

Day 97 - March 21st, 2025 I'll hold you hand when I say this, but you can like this album without being a Roger Waters dick sucker. 5/5

Просто очень проникновенно и красиво 9/10

Epic.

After something like 20 years and numerous attempts to like Floyd, this suddenly just clicked for me. But does this mean I'm old?

One of my legit favorites man

period

"Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it You've gotta go sometime" Seeing that black triangle made me smile like I would upon seeing an old friend. This is one of my most listened albums ever. I could listen to it one million times and it never gets old. Everything about this album is timeless even down to the album cover which might be the most iconic album cover of all time. All the songs on this album flow together so perfectly its really one of the greatest album listening experiences the medium has to offer. This isn't even my favorite Pink Floyd album, I just love this band so damn much that I can rave about them nonstop. Similar to Nevermind, I'm gonna rank every song on this album from best to least best.. 1. Time 2. Brain Damage/Eclipse - Lumping these two together.. 3. The Great Gig in the Sky 4. Breathe (In the Air) 5. Us and Them 6. Money 7. Any Colour You Like 8. On the run 9. Speak to Me - kind of an unfair placement but I had to include it..

10

Filled with classics and with an incredible flow, this can only be 5 stars.

The album that makes you question existence and if you left the stove on.

Essential listening. One of my favorites, can and probably will listen to the end of my days. Favorite Songs: Time / Money / Brain Damage

9.5/10 Generational album. One of the first albums I was told I needed to sit and listen in one sitting. I like how it all weaves together and thinking about how life changing this album has been for so many over the years it’s such a cool piece. It isn’t my favorite Floyd album but always enjoy spinning it for a bit. Favorite Song: Time

One of my favorite Floyd albums. This is one of the first albums that I recall someone using recorded sounds within the music. Floyd does it so well with nice tie ins to the song. This album reminds me of the only live show of theirs I got to see, which opened with Time. The stage was black with just Nick’s glowing drum sticks opening the song flying around in the air with clocks ticking in the background.

Such an iconic and important album in the history of music and rock

This album is one of the best executed concept albums I have ever heard. Not only is it musically and instrumentally superb, but the lyrics fit the songs and what the band is trying to accomplish with this album really, really well. I love how the songs flow into each other. Personal enjoyment would probably be 4/5 for me but this is a masterpiece so it will be getting a 5.

been a while since I've listened to this album. it is still excellent. love the way the tracks flow together. some of their best lyrics on on here- "Breathe", "Time", and "Us and Them". the instruments are focused and compliment each other. fantastic album start to finish.

El mejor álbum de Pink Floyd y uno de mis favoritos. Poco más se puede decir sobre este álbum que no se haya dicho antes. Canción destacada: The Great Gig in the Sky

All time great album

Iconic and still resonates today.

Something, something classic; something, something masterpiece. Something words about something and saying new somethings. Words and things about places and actions that must be taken to listen because matters much something. First time story with anecdote something something. Wizard something works words and words try something and do. Best something so something on the words yea.

I’ve listened to Dark Side a LOT. It was on almost non stop at age 19, and is one of the seminal albums of my life. This morning, I got to listen to it with my almost 4-year-old son, who loved it. While it’s a far cry removed from the times I listened to it in college after consuming copious amounts of marijuana, it meant way more to me this way.

Iconic album, excellent songs with great buildups, choruses, dynamics, and varied instrumentals. Standouts: Breathe, Time, Money, Us and Them, Eclipse, 5/5.

Still unbelievably good

Best Floyd Album.

Classic album. Good songs that work well together.

Absolutely legendary album in the realm of psych rock, and prog rock. Ive listened to this one at least 50 times over the years. Its reputation, and billboard records really speak for this one. Not a skip here. Maybe On the run, but even then, it helps the atmosphere.

5/5 no notes

Probly THE best album of all time.

I don’t know what to say, it’s Dark Side Of The Moon, it’s exquisite. If you don’t like it, there might be something wrong with you. Or maybe you’ve experienced…brain damage

I have yet to meet anyone that doesn’t own at least two copies of this. It’s a classic. It is great. It’s also both easy listening and complex. One of the finest of all tome

I was literally wearing my DSOTM shirt when I got recommended the album. This is by far one of the best albums of all time.

Epic

I mean it's Dark Side of the Moon.

A cornerstone in psychedelic prog rock

Ueppaaaaa. Bim sunnige, verkaterete Sunntigsspaziergang hani Lust becho mal wider chli Pink Floyd z lose, ballere mer mis Lieblingsalbum The Devision Bell ufd Ohrmuschle und frög mich, wenn denn echt mal es Pink Floyd Album bide 1001 chunt, und ZAGGGGG - DA ISCH EIS!!! Absoluti Jahrtuusig Band, jedes Lied isch en Spass und ich han bis jetzt selte es Lied vo ihne ghört wo ned e absoluti Beriicherig i mim Musikalische Lebe isch. Mit The Dark Side Of The Moon ischs glaubs biz ähnlich wies d Viki wege Radiohead gseit het. All die Hipster Boys wo au Pink Floyd für sich entdecked "Und wege dem Album so viel über sich selber lernet - e beriicherig vom persönliche Self". Aber hey. Ich glaub langsam ich ghör sehr zu dere Stereotypisierte "bizli kreativ, biz alternativ, chli wanna-be-hipsterig"-Kategorie und ich denk das isch okee. To be stereotype is the new special. Oder so ähnlich. Viellicht au ned. Ufjedefalls chani mini faszination für Pink Floyd ned verstecke und schüttle locker und ohni zögere mini 5 für-pink-floyd-ufgspahrte Puntos us em ärmel! Ich han hald so viel wege dem Album über mich selber glernt. E beriicherig vo mim persönliche Self. LG Stereotypimon

Pink fucking floyd anno 1973. hitted au on mondays. Ach wie gern ich dem albumprozess live debi gsi wär oder zumindest als bigbrother per cctv zuegluegt het. Ich glaub die hend - gopferdeli siech namal - spass gha. Han s gfühl mir cha das album entweder gechillt im hintergrund la laufe und es isch eifach cosy oder aktiv inejumpe und mit vill ufmerksamkeit einiges entdecke. Ich glaub ich selber drifte denn oft wieder dezue ab. Das album isch: - De inbegriff vunere musikalische reis und ere variabilität im ne album ohni a qualität z verlüre oder erzwunge z wirke - und die variabilität isch notabene nöd nur zwüsche tracks aber au innerhalb vum ne track erstuhnlich gross und interessant. - hed e wunderschöne name - eis vo de ziitlosigste cover ‚Speak to me‘ zu ‚breath‘ übergang isch episch. ‚Time‘ isch so ziitlos. Wowzers. ‚The great gig in the sky‘ hani zum sunneuntergang vum züriberg gluegt, wie passend <3 Ccccccinco puntos

amazing. ich bin mer am überlegge merch devo chaufe, irgend en coole tschäpper oder en hoodie vilicht? oder doch eifach s'album cover als vinyl im zimmer ufhänke? glaub ich wär de erschti wo das wür mache klare fall vo 5/5

Favorite track(s): time, money, us and them (they're all good) Will I revisit?: already knew this album Current rating: 10/10

I mean.. come on. What can one say at this point about such an omnipresent, iconoclastic piece of work? Well, let me make the attempt. Every good word uttered about The Dark Side of the Moon is wholeheartedly earned. Immersive and expansive are terms that only begin to scratch the surface of what this record is and what it has to offer. As an album experience, I would argue Dark Side is unmatched in its sequential completeness and its heady, through-line intensity. From the ominous tolling of Time to the batshit vocal performance that leaves me breathless on Great Gig in the Sky to the one-two outro punch of Brain Damage/Eclipse closing the album with a preposterous amount of grandiosity, there’s nothing quite like The Dark Side of the Moon. With headphones, Dark Side is like staring into the void for 40 minutes, coming out on the other side with something that resembles a lesson. And the lesson I continue to take from it is that.. life, while cacophonous and just straight looney at times, is all we have and it’s precious. Don’t overthink it because of the ubiquitous emblem. Don’t discredit it just because of its popularity… 5/5..10/10 is not enough for this album.

A really enjoyable listen, actually a great album with more amazing songs than I was expecting.

I mean, it's Dark Side of the Moon. Five stars.

My fav Pink Floyd, gets better with every listen.

Pretty wacky and cool

Brilliant!

oh SO GOOD. I get the hype

I was being chased by friends I haven't seen in so long I don't know if we could be considered friends anymore. One, John T. rried to give me a torn up jersey. The rest fades. It's reoccurring.

Nothing left to say that hasn’t been said.

This may objectively be the single greatest album of all time.

Simply my favourite album of all time. Thoughtful, warm, memorable, imaginative, cohesive. Truly an album of the ages

I didn't need to listen to this again to know this was getting a 5, but I did it anyway. Incredible album, excellent composition, great instrumentals and vocal work! 'The Great Gig in the Sky' was my fave.

Way weirder and better than I expected aaaa.

Never been my favourite album but 5 star for Money alone 4.75/5

Difficult to say much about this album that hasn’t already been said more eloquently by others. There’s something reassuring about the familiarity of it. Time into TGGITS into money is up there as the best song run in the list so far

Possibly the greatest album of all time.

Una puta obra maestra

Dark Side of the Moon blends haunting lyrics, rich instrumentation, and flawless production into one of the greatest albums ever made.

Unless you just really don't like Pink Floyd, this album is universally loved. Fantastic.

только так

Gran disco, demasiado radiado, pero genial.

This one plays a huge role in my musical education. First heard in a smoke-filled living room in Scarborough, getting drunk on beer at a teenage party. Of course it was the sort of party where about half a dozen of us sat silently listening to this, like we were in church. I can't be objective about this, at all. The whole thing just transports me to a different place. Sometimes (but not always) it's that smoke-filled living room, with a stubby bottle of Molson Export Ale in my skinny hand.

everything there is to say about this album has already been said

One of the best albums in history! There are no words that could describe this perfection, this ingenuity, this masterpiece... this madness...

Classic but not their best

This is one of the most obvious 5 star albums of all. Pure genius. Turn out the lights and get lost in this one.

There's nothing I could say here that hasn't been said here.

I love this album. It should be appreciated as a whole. First half might be a bit boring, but nonetheless the second half makes up for it. Clare Torry’s vocal on “The Great Gig in the Sky” is wonderful.

One of the rare instances where an album deserves the enormous amount of hype it receives. Truly Pink Floyd's finest hour, despite the increasing number of people in music spheres claiming otherwise. But bare in mind, this is an Album album and it's experienced best when taken in as a full piece, as it was intended, particularly the first side. Not to there aren't big standout moments, because there obviously are, but I can't I've ever listened to "On the Run" on its own, despite it being an essential part of the tracklist. Pink Floyd and this album are usually lumped in with the 70's Progressive Rock movement, but they bare very little resemblance to any of their peers, sounding spacier and more anthemic. This sound was later picked up by the post-britpop bands of the late-90's but in a poppier and more radio-friendly way. But of course, this album's influence encompasses a lot more than just that, even transcending music as a medium. A true masterpiece, indeed. Key tracks: Speak to Me / Breathe Time The Great Gig in the Sky Money Us and Them

In our tween years, a bunch of friends and I gathered in a friend's basement to check out the infamous Dark Side/Wizard of Oz mash up. We excitedly told our parents the plan and settled on an array of beanbags to gaze in wonder, nary a mild altering substance to be found in our innocent viewing. I can officially confirm, having attentively watched as a sober and clear young mind, there are a few moments that have cool coincidental synchronization but these two masterpieces are meant to be enjoyed separately. Years later, with a bit of the ol' green stuff, I got to see the Flaming Lips cover some of these songs and enjoyed the whole experience much more.

I'm getting old as I really enjoyed that in all its pomp.

This is a true album - it's greater than the sum of its parts. 'Money' stands alone, but the rest all work together to create the ethereal atmosphere. These are songs that should be listened to as an album. Everything about this has an expansive sound; the title invoking space and expanse; the pulsing electronica which sounds futuristic but sows anxiety; the heavily reverbed instrumentation; the imperious guitar solos; the lofty, philosophical lyrics. A rare end-to-end aural pleasure.

Timeless

A well deserved 5. First time listening to the album in it's entirety, trying not to let the hype sway me. It's beautiful, it's timeless, you must listen.

I've heard this one before, of course. It's one of the greatest albums ever. I really don't have much more to say, it's such a great album.

Geweldig, goede nummers, en ook een mooi geheel.

It has been one of my all-time favorites since I was a teenager.

Feels like a journey (not the band)

fenomenal каждой частью тела чувствуется музыка переходы от песни к песни максимально плавные

It's so good. It flows. It sounds fantastic.

One of the best albums of all time. Zero skips

As good a record as ever has been made. From the scope of the conception and depth of the emotional content, to the quality (right-note-right-time precision) of the playing and dazzling production, they got it all right.

One of my favorites for 30 years.

There is really nothing much I can add to reviews of DSOTM. It is simply one of the best albums of the '70s (and beyond) and captured a moment rarely repeated. Musically, lyrically, production-wise, it is an almost perfect album. The themes of madness and the human condition might seem trite - "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way..." - but it all works. The only thing I will add is that the line "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time..." is spoken by Henry McCullough (soon to be ex-Wings) and, 20 years later, I spent an enjoyable Thursday afternoon getting drunk with Henry...

Brauch ma ned redn

God this screams college.

My first favorite album. Probably still in my Top 5 albums of all time, even though I have not listened to it in years. Excited to listen to it again. I wonder if it holds up from being 16 years old. Curse you Spotify. Will I have to download Amazon Music so I can listen to this in order? This album CANNOT be played on random. It MUST be played in order. Amazingly, some of the songs still transition almost perfectly, but that feels even more disappointing. I can't bring myself to give this four stars, but I am afraid the shine is off, after 20 years.

u alr know

Again, this album feels like Abbey Road where there isn't much to be said about it that hasn't already been said. Really incredible.

Repeated plays and it's still that good.

Ég var spenntur. Ég hafði aldrei hlustað á plötuna í heild sinni áður, bara í bútum. Hún er vissulega pínulítið yfirhæpuð en mér fannst hún samt mjög skemmtilegt að hlusta á. Ég er að reyna að hlusta á mitt innra sjálf til að ákveða hvort hún er fjarki eða fimma. Ég smelli fimmu þótt ég væri til í fjóra og hálfa.

Easy 5 star. This is my favorite album of all time and I think there's so much to love about it thematically and musically. The cover art is an all-time classic and was definitely a poster on my dorm room wall. Everything just flows so well together from song to song. Time and Money are everyone's favorite tracks, but there's just something hauntingly beautiful about Great Gig in the Sky that gets me every time I listen to it. Us and Them is a song that encapsulates everything Pink Floyd is about to me and it's crazy how much hasn't really changed in the world when looking at this theme. Brain Damage/Eclipse wrap up the album perfectly and I've definitely spent too much time thinking about the meaning of the final audio in Eclipse: "There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact it's all dark." Perfect album that grips your attention from start to finish. Like what has been said already, I wish I could go back and listen to this for the first time.

Possibly the greatest album of all time.

Masterpiece. 4.75

Contender

I mean literally always. It's just undeniably one of the greatest albums literally ever. Start to finish it's just so fluid. I'll never forget the first time I ever heard it and just how much I gravitated towards it. Brain Damage --> Eclipse is just one of the smoothest transitions in all of music. If that were just one song it might honestly be my favorite track of all time

Still an amazing album!

4.5/5

No notes

Awesome possum. Dim lights and nice company. I understand why he is held in high regard. If I found this on vinyl for a decent price I would pick it up.

This album amazes and stuns me. It feels like floating amongst the stars and galaxies. I hope, when I die, this is played at my funeral. I'm letting this be my reminder to rewatch The Wizard of Oz with this in the background. I saw it at an indy movie theater back when I was in college in the 90s...trippy times. This is one of the best albums on the planet.

Pink Floyd, what can I say.

Ohhhhhh. This is the apex of the vinyl rock format. Every second feels thought out. The songs flow into each other. I always love Pink Floyd even though it runs contrary to my usual taste.

Best Album of that year!!!!!!

A classic. Perfect all the way through. Favorite track: Time

Incredible album. I marked 6 of 10 albums as favorites. I like the setup of having the first album be studio tracks and the second album be live tracks.

Perfect from start to finish. As I said in the group chat, a gorgeous listening experience 🌑

It has very spacey/retro vibes. Absolutely stunning.

Easy rating of "5" from the old boomer. Every cut is strong. What was surprising to me was how well the album has stood up after all these years--still sounds fresh and relevant.

ICONIC. The album. The artwork. Wizard of Oz. Truly my favorite artist from this era. I really don't have much to say about this one. "Money" is probably my least favorite song on the album - it's always seemed grating compared to the journey the rest of the album takes you on. "On the Run" might be my favorite track, even though it's little more than an interlude. Always a fun headphones experience. The drums on the beginning of "Time" *chefs kiss*. I appreciate how every track is able to breathe. I have memories in highschool just relistening to "The Great Gig in the Sky" on repeat. I guess I did have much to say.

Love ‘em

No Notes. Love everything about this. You haven't listened to music until you've closed your eyes and blocked out everything except this album. It's a journey through time and space. Also it's very cool to watch it timed up with the wizard of oz

I know this is a wonderful album but I'd forgotten quite how good it is and it was a treat to listen to it in full again. Definitely a 5 star album for me

Just a great album overall: start to finish. Oddly enough, I had listened to "The Wall" earlier in the day before realizing that "Dark Side" was next on the 1,001 list, so it was a bit of a Floyd overload day but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Sheer lunacy to give this anything other than a five.

Why are there not more stars?!

The standard by which all albums should be judged. Everything about it is perfect...the album cover, the lyrics, the variety of songs, the transitions between songs. After to listening to it hundreds (thousands?) of times, I still feel like I pick up something new every time I listen to it. Speaking of album covers, there's a great movie on Netflix about them called "Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)". Thinking Bingo told me about it, but can't remember. Great documentary.

Is gewoon 1 van de best classics

Met recht een klassieker. Een van de beste albums ooit gemaakt. Easy 5/5

Pretty much a classic, I've heard this one so many times, and it's so tight, so creative, clean production, and it touches on important - even if, at this point, a bit overdone - themes. It might've been my introduction to concept albums, and I hope to hear multiple many more concept albums still. Great, emotional, interesting musically.

Fantastic album. Sonically beautiful.

Never fails to blow my mind. Since first hearing it as a teen in 1973 this has always been top tier.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Biased since I have memories attached to this album. Time is one of the best songs ever written.

Literally one of the best albums ever made.

Good chance to be my favorite on the list, but I knew that beforehand...

Banger!

amazing

Already listened to loads. Amazing.
