Anyway, when DSOTM was released it had a perfect lay-out, a perfect PR support, a perfect sound ("a hifi snob's wet dream"), a perfect melodic and accessible touch, a perfect instrumentation (including the VCS3 synthesizers), a perfect atmosphere between the four musicians and, in my opinion, a perfect tracklist Clap

No way I was gonna endeavor in an Animals chain of many posts, each with one lyric of it...

(that has already been started and continued by some others and will continue up to page 5 of this thread LOLDisapprove)

I dont think DSOTM is that perfect album, besides I think is really dificult to make a perfect album, and, of course, i think that they are some Ponk Floyd albums that are better than this one, such us The pipper and the gates.., Atom heart mother, or Wish you were here

agreed. Dark Side is good but Animals is the best.

Dark Side is a great, great album, but it is also hugely overrated. Personally, I like Wish You Were Here and Animals better.
