Customer Reviews
Summary: One of rock's great ironies Overall Rating: Comment: In my freshman year of high school, 1996, I had to listen to Dark Side of the Moon while watching Fritz Lang's silent masterpiece Metropolis because my world history teacher thought it fit with the movie perfectly. While I was watching the movie, I tried to correlate the album with the movie and I couldn't. Instead I was annoyed and wish I could watch the silent movie the way it was intended. Let me tell you right now, Metropolis WAS NOT what Roger Waters had in mind when he wrote the songs for Dark Side of the Moon. Dark Side of the Moon is one of those albums that could grow on you if you gave it a chance. Thing is, I am not one of the listeners who is willing to buy it and let it grow on me, since I prefer faster music. However, just because I prefer faster music, does not mean I am close-minded. For example, I think Massive Attack's slow album Mezzanine is one of the greatest albums of all time. About a year after hearing Dark Side of the Moon in my world history class I decided to give it a second chance. I listened to the album in my room, by myself, and I felt detached emotionally. This is very challenging music and the commercial appeal of the album is one of rock's great ironies. There's a lot to admire about Dark Side of the Moon: the lyrics are thoughtful, the vocals are melodic and emotional, the instrumentation is complex, and the production is stellar. The sound effects were pioneering at the time; it's hard to imagine Kraftwerk, Gary Neuman, and electronica's offspring without Dark Side of the Moon. However, there's a difference between admiration and enjoyment. The overall tone of the album is very pessimistic. Dark Side of the Moon is a gloomy experience. It is not the kind of album to put you in a good mood. It is a work of art, maybe profound even, but for music listeners such as myself, sometimes that is just not good enough. B- Summary: Pink Floyd is much more than "The Wall" Overall Rating: Comment: I've always liked Pink Floyd, but I owned only "The Wall." I bought "The Dark Side of Moon" to remind myself of the earlier sounds, many of which made it into "The Wall," but some of which are just unique, like the creative instrumentals in "On the Run" and "Time" and the great use of a female vocalist in "The Great Gig in the Sky." And "Money" is probably the earliest memory I have of Pink Floyd on the radio when I was a preteen! Summary: One of the best albums ever! Overall Rating: Comment: No matter how many times I hear this album, I continue to be amazed. Anyone that says this album is overrated needs to have their head checked. Amazing. Summary: When they hit it big Overall Rating: Comment: There are over a thousand reviews for this album and it's tough to find anything new to say about it. It's a great album of enjoyable music, probably Pink Floyd's most well-rounded recording and one that has held up strongly over the past 35 years. "Time", "Brain Damage", "Us and Them", "The Great Gig" - these are all classics. Perhaps the only real drawback is that we've all heard each a million times; they can't help being overplayed. My only additional comment is that, despite being lumped in with other popular Pink Floyd albums of the mid- and late 1970s, it is stylistically more similar to the early 1970s albums Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Obscured by Clouds. The key difference from earlier albums is the presence of Roger Waters's dark, cynical lyrics (though the extreme bitterness of later efforts isn't here yet). But the music, just as on those earlier albums, is a full collaboration between four band members - not the effort of one man, with a few companions filling in as session musicians. That would change on subsequent albums, and in my opinion not for the better. Summary: A classic Overall Rating: Comment: If I were to be allowed five albums for the rest of my life, this would be at the top of the list. Just had to replace a missing album, and actually, as cheap as this was I think I'll keep buying CDs from Amazon. This one can never leave my collection, and if it does I'll have a replacement faster than you can say Pink Floyd.
