create your own misfortune

This is a diehard competition of nogood fools and blasphemists.
Yah, this stinkpy CD soled millionths but it was a part of a masterplan to infringe the do-gooders and stifle the sermons of the impoverished pallets.

Choose your platform NOW and speak and piss in the faces of the floyed lo-vers and so--called maniacs!!!!!!!!!!!!

we love you. Frank Sinatra wouldn't have done it other wise!

This cd most likely is an effigy of the silly kind.

Its atrocious musical gaffe is enough to distinguish the rotten from the prowess.

Its a slow diver and should've never been relaesed!!

A classic which succeeds on some remarkable fronts

I've known Pink Floyd's album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON for many, many years, but although I've been writing Amazon reviews for nearly a decade, I've always been reluctant to post comments about DARK SIDE. What more can I say after thousands of others? How many people are going to decide whether or not to buy this universally acclaimed classic rock album based on my comments?

Well, I might as well dedicate this space to two properties of the album that I've always found peculiar indeed. The first is the way it succeeds not so much based on its musical content (its melodies, harmonies and rhythms -- its tunes abstractly considered) as its atmospheric production. Now, I'm a fan of nearly the whole of Pink Floyd's career, and this album would be fine music regardless of the producer, but Alan Parsons's role is what takes DARK SIDE to a completely new level: the sense of space (the SACD quadrophonic mix is worth it), the warmth of the sound, the plain authenticity of the sampled speech and the flawless mixing of one track into the next. Pink Floyd's music had been more overtly psychadelic in the past, but the exploitation of spatialization makes the trippy moments here more out of this world than ever before. It's almost like the band could be playing anything, but the way the sound comes at you is enough to make it a masterpiece.

The second remarkable property that I admire about DARK SIDE OF THE MOON is how behind the times it is in many respects -- that's right, I like how it sounds more in tune with the late 1960s than its 1973 release date. In expressing the vibe of that remarkable period of history that had already sadly passed forever, Pink Floyd created a monument, whereas something more clearly Seventies might have lessened its greatness.

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Despite the fact that I am not much of a Pink Floyd fan, this album is one of my favorites. If you only ever listen to one Pink Floyd album, this is the one to get. If you haven't listened to it, then you are missing out on a wonderful experience.

Album Description

Amazon.com essential recording

Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like "On the Run," "Time" and especially "Money" (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink Floyd's best-known work, and it's an excellent place to start if you're new to the band. --Genevieve Williams
