5 stars And the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

I find Pink Floyds music extremly interesting because of one element in their music; it's realitvely easy compared to the musical complexities of bands like Yes or King Crimson, and still, it was very hard for me to get into Floyd. But boy when i got into it, it changed my musical life like never before. I was on a vacation trip in London with my girlfriend for a few weeks back, and had just few nights before the flight gotten into Floyd. I listened to this magnificent album probably 30 times on that trip(and boy did it anger my girlfriend). What can be said about this album? Well..

The completness of the album is just astonishing. You cannot actually call "Time" a good track if you do not like "Great Gig In The Sky", because in my opinion they're somehow connected, but then again, you cannot call the whole album good if you don't like something in it. Dark Side Of The Moon is a trip to the great music and sound of Pink Floyd that probably is born somewhere on the moon or beyond. A real climax point of the album is "Brain Damage/Eclipse", in these two the album somehow erupts. Another amazing piece is "Us and Them".

The fact that this album is not their only masterpiece, will probably write Floyd down in official history as one of the most complete prog rock acts of all time. Just try listening to this album if you don't like it, you don't know what your missing. 5 Stars.
