5 stars Ah, The Dark Side of The Moon. This is my favorite Album of all time, to be honest. The absolute pinnicale of human musical achivement, prog or otherwise. This is the album where all of the features are timed and preformed just right. This album has spent 1,500+ weeks on the bilboard 200, nearly half consecutivaly. That is the ultimate statement of it's superiority.

The album starts out with Speak to Me, the tape collage. It transitions directly into Breathe, the airy (no pun intended) and relaxing track with many interpretations. After this awsome introduction, we fall into On The Run, an instrumental. All the beeps and boops carry this darker song. Next is Time, my favorite song on the album. After its alarms at the begining, it gets rocking with an amazing guitar solo plus great bass, drums, and Keyboarding to accompany, before going into a Breathe reprise. Great Gig In the Sky is good, but is the only part that can get annoying at times after repeated listens. No we have the only break in the songs in the album before Money, the hardest rocking track that kills the flow from before. Us and Them, last of the 3 long tracks, is great commentary on war, and very spaced out. From here we hit the transition instrumental Any Colour You Like before we reach the culmination of Bran Dammage/ Eclipse, some of the most meaningfull lyrics to grace these ears.

This album is essental. I don't care what your tastes are, you should own this album. It could be centuries before this kind of greatness is achived again.
