THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Dark side of the Moon is the best album i have ever heard. It has all these points that make it classical, but it also remains always new and modern. The album's LSD atmosphere is everywhere through the songs that Waters, Gilmour and Wright have written. But, you can feel it without taking any drug. Best song in my opinion is "Us and Them", which is a very good try to understand life by a philosopher's view and also its music is a great example how a ballad can be so strong and hard. Gilmour's and backing vocals are really psychedelic and create the best atmosphere to catch the song's feeling. The saxophone's solo is the best part of the song, when plays the lyrics' melody and song becomes stronger and stronger.. "Money" is the greatest example how sounds whe listen to every day in our life can become a music theme (Money's intro). Saxophone plays a great solo in "Money" and the guitar's effects are funky. Gilmour plays also a very good solo,using his effects and his blues' knowledge. "Time's" intro, when Waters' bass plays the clock's sound is a very good part in this album. Guitar's solo and lyrics make "Time" as one of the best Floyd's songs. The main theme in this album is "Breathe's" theme, which exists in three of the tracks. A spacey theme.... The production is very good, unexpectable for a 70's album. Floyd's effects are the answer in the question: "How modern can be an album written in 1973? " Let's try to give songs stars:

Speak to me / Breathe: 5 stars. Great music , really inspired lyrics. "Run, rabbit, run, dig that hole, forget the sun"

On the run: 4 stars. Very good instrumental, brilliant effects.

Time: 5 stars. The hardest song in this album (one of the hardests Floyd's songs) 'And you run and you run to catch up withe sun but it's sinking"

The Great Gig in the Sky: 4 stars. Great vocal song.

Money: 5 stars. A prog-jazz song, played in 5/4, inspired by real life's sounds. "Money, get away, get a good job with more pay and you're OK!"

Us and Them: 5 stars. The best track in this album. Psychedelic sounds. Lovely melody. "Black and Blue, and who knows which is which and who is who..."

Any colour you like: 4 stars. Very good instrumental. Helps us remember Syd Barrett...

Brain Damage: 5 stars. "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon..."

Eclipse: 4 stars. Offensive song. Could be longer! "Everything under the Sun is in tune, but the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon!"

Progressive and Psychedelic Music is richer since 1973, when Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason created this really excellent album. "the Dark Side Of The Moon" is the classic Floyd album that includes nine of their greatest songs. You cannot get bored nowhere (as you maybe can in a few "Wall's" or "Wish you were here" tracks (which are the other great albums of the 'Floyd 70's trilogy'). It is the most well-completed album which you can listen to every day! With this album Pink Floyd became one of the world's rock top-five and belong to world music, not only to progressive (where they are the No 1).
