THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

When I was young this album was one of my favourites. Time passes and now looking backwards and with all the music that I know now this albums looks so simple and even bored...

I will not discuss the fact that DSOFM is one of the greatest album of all history. That's ok but musically none song of this album make sense to me. "Speak to me" looks like a common psychdelic intro. Guitars on "Breathe" sounds poor and the lyrics are so naif... "On the run" it's ok as an experimental piece but "Time" returns the album to a constant line of repetitive riffs and (again) naif lyrics. Then "The great gig in the sky" maybe one of the greatest songs made by PF with superb vocals by Clare Torry and the beautiful piano of Mr. Rick Wright.

Them we arrive to "Money" a simple pop song disguised as a "psychedelic" song... "Us and them" is another high point on the album with interesting lyrics and a floating rhythm... After this, "Any colour you like", "Brain damage" and "Eclipse" sounds totally unnecessary. Ok, maybe they are good songs but there's is something missed... maybe too much Water's inffluence, maybe the lyrics (too repetivive) maybe the guitars...

Well, it's my opinion. If they sold millions of albums something good it's has to be in that songs but for me it's just another regular release of the 70's...
