5 stars This is the album that defines a generation...one of the greatest albums of all the times, it is...Dark Side of the Moon! If you haven't heard of this album, then you must be from another planet. Let's get to the review:

Speak to Me: (7/10): Not a bad introduction to what is to come, but just a short, noisy interlude.

Breathe: (10+/10): Wonderful, wonderful starting lyrics. Everybody loves this killer short tune, and it is one of my favorites.

On the Run: (6/10): My least favorite track on the album. Just a bit of filler, but it has to be there to introduce the seminal Pink Floyd classic track....

Time: (10++/10): One of the greatest songs ever written, and my personal favorite from this album. Scorching guitar solo, gritty singing and lyrics, and a reprise of Breathe makes this song a killer.

The Great Gig in the Sky: (10/10): Excellent keyboard/vocal showcase for Rick Wright and Clare Torry. It gives you the feeling of sliding into a whirlpool It feels like a great gig in the sky.

Money: (10+/10): Another seminal classic Floyd song, which happens to be one of their most popular. A great bass riff, an excellent sax solo, and scorching guitars make this an excellent progressive blues number.

Us and Them: (10/10): One of the most beautiful songs Rick Wright and Roger Waters ever wrote, another feeling comes with this song: floating on air. Love the loud/soft contrasts.

Any Colour You Like: (9.5/10) Excellent guitar/keyboard soloing piece, but just not one of my faves.

Brain Damage/Eclipse: (10+/10): Beautiful ending to a great album. Wonderful lyrics.

If you don't have this extremely popular album that defines prog rock, you must buy it! ASAP!
