THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Like many other reviewers, what can be said about this album that has not already been said? I will again say what has been said over and over, and will still be said over and over for a life time to come. This album is a flawless masterpiece. It is the most brilliant and greatest album of our time and of all time. This is the percect album. From the fade in of the heart beat, to the fade out of the heart beat and everything inbetween and before and after this album is perfect. The anticipation of when you first put the cd on of the thought that "I'm about to listen to the Dark Side of the Moon and then you hear the heartbeat come in and as it flows into breathe, you have embarked on a rollercoaster ride of great emotion as you run through On the Run, and come to the albums greatest song, Time. Time is Pink Floyd's best song, and is one of the greater song's out there if not the greatest song. The lyrics are unbelievable and how the whole song carries you through different emotions is amazing. When the song is over, we are now into the Great Gig in the Sky. The beauty of this song cannot be expressed through words. After this song is over there is the first sound of silence for the first time in the record but that is quickly over before the sound of the cash register come in followed by of of the greatest and catchy bass beats ever. During the middle of this song we are at the most rocking part of the album, right in the heart of the album when everyone is soloing. Dick Parry's sax solo is unbelievable as always, Gilmour's rockin it, Water's bass is a killer, Nick Mason and Wright are both unbelievable aswell.. and this this song finishes we slide into Us and Them... probably the deepest part of the album, the song slows right down and turns in the opposite direction of Money. Listeing to this song feels like there's no worries in the world along with the 100 different feelings you could be feeling at the time. Perfect. Any Color You Like, its the perfect transition between Us and Them and Brain Damage. It's a wierd song, It's the start of the end of the album, it's difficult to figure out it's meaning, but I'm sure everyone has their own meaning of this little instrumental, and that's why I love it. Finally we are at Brain Damage. With the brilliant starting, brilliant lyrics, much like the rest of the album, it's dark and it's deep. You know your coming to the album's end, but it's not quite over yet, the good bye's are set into motion, "I'll see you on the darkside of the moon." Then you come to Eclipse, the albums grand finale. Everything you have just heard, all the emtions you've felt, and everything you've done during the time of listening to this album and the album its self all falls back onto each other during this song, "All that you touch, all that you see.......and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon." and then the heartbeat fades out and you are left sitting there with nothing but silence. The pefect ending to the perfect album.

There's a reason why this album spent countless weeks on the charts, and why it's still being rediscovered today. I'm only 22 and have been into Pink Floyd and Darkside of the Moon for roughly over two years now, and te band and this album has single handly changed my life and the outlook I have on it. This album is everything the Human Race stands for and goes through, it's a brilliant concept, and every single person in this world can relate to this album. In the start and end, we all relate to Breath and Eclipse... and then On the Run, Time, The Great Gig in the Sky, Money, Us and Them, Any Colour You Like and Brain Damage are all factors in our life aswell. This album is unbelievable, it's perfect, and I love it. I'll See you on the Dark Side of the Moon.
