5 stars I had to grow up to fully apreciate this one, but that's normal with Pink Floyd. Ok, it's not as marvelous as Anials or Wish you were here but nothing is. At first listening Dark side may appear as a quite ordinary album. Tere are two radio hits - Time and Money and few less known pieces. Nothing special. But when you listen to it time by time again you realize it's something more. And then, at some point it explodes and you can at last hear what is it all about. The pieces of the puzzle start to fit to each other, every track starts to be coherent to another, lyrics become a story... This music is not very complex, there are no twenty minutes long solos (but who doesn't love Gilmour's play in Money?), but that's Pink Floyd. The power of their music lays somewhere deeper. The music is only the effect of the brilliant idea of composers (not only Roger). And besides all that, it's one of the best known albums in the history. A good way to start your adventure with prog.
Crowley | 5/5 |
