Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Reviews

Let's face it....I was never a fan of rock. I had always come from an r&b background. I met a fellow music lover who was getting into new styles of music and took some of the many suggestions I made. He, in return, did the same and suggested DSOTM by Pink Floyd. At first I thought"WWWWWHAT"? This is until I gave it a listen and I must say that it is the CLASSIC that everyone has called it. From open to close it gives the goods!

Where do I begin... First of all Pink floyd is legendary in themselves... Dark Side is one of the GREATEST Floyd album of they're career. I don't know of any other bands that can put on The Wizard of Oz and sit back and play they're album and have it go along with the movie...Simply amazing! Second Pink Floyd is one of the original bands that birthed metal and rock for the sake of argument... They are by far one of the greatest rock/ classic rock bands of ALL time! Anyone that disagrees has no taste in music at all.

Easily one of the greatest recordings of all time.

A must have for all music lovers.

Original lineup minus Syd Barret. Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason.

 Timeless classics like, "Time","Us and Them" "Money".

It's music that will never go away.

Spellbinding keyboards, crushing guitars, and Thundering drums accompany haunting vocals.

I think  anyone who has ever "burned one " has done so to Dark Side of the Moon.. I still enjoy listning to Pink Floyd today even tho i an well over 50..An all time classic along with led zepplin ,,lynnard skinnard and  many more stoner bands..Well,,I'm off to the dark side...see ya

The Dark Side of the Moon is Pink Floyd's ninth album and is a single extended piece rather than a collection of songs. It seems to deal primarily with the fleetingness and depravity of human life, hardly the commonplace subject matter of rock. "Time" ("The time is gone the song is over"), "Money" ("Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie"), and "Us And Them" ("Forward he cried from the rear") might be viewed as keys to understanding the meaning (if indeed there is any definite meaning) of The Dark Side of the Moon.

Even though this is a concept album, a number of the cuts can stand on...

As I prepared to get out of a rusty light blue VW Bug, after a particularly boring first and last date, I could feel the rush of joy that I was home and able to get back to the book I should have stayed home reading. When my hand found the door handle the almost former date asked me to wait and listen to a tape he just received from a buddy of his. Flustered and wanting out of this date but not wanting to hurt the guy's feelings too badly, we went to the same art school after all and there is the artistic angst factor to consider...I agreed to listen. I was transfixed by the opening of "Breathe"...

Maybe it's a bit silly calling this one of the greatest albums of all time, here in 2009. As if this weren't already a scientifically-proven fact. After all, how many records has it broken/held? How many widely-viewed best-of-all-time lists has this album made?

Pink Floyd perfected the art of the concept album, and Dark Side is definitely the masterpiece. Other strong cuts include Wish You Were Here, the very underrated Animals, and of course, The Wall.

Roger Waters, the group's eventual driving creative force and frontman (until he left the band), was just then coming into his own during the making...
