5 stars How do we evaluate music? What lends itself to musical greatness, the likes of which have not been seen for many years? Is it elitist to believe in musical greatness? How does one go about creating the perfect album?

My guess is, David Gilmour and Roger Waters sat around and had a good talk about these questions before they embarked upon Dark Side. What makes this album so great? The atmosphere. You can sit down and listen to DSOTM without ever leaving your chair or state of mind. Contingencies flow between tracks to anchor a specific sound down, as is true of most great concept albums. Based loosely around a blues rock framework, most of this CD has the ability to alter your consciousness more than any chemical aid. There is not really anything that I can say that hasn't already been said before. On that note, this is one of the greatest albums of all times, in any genre.

Pale Fire | 5/5 |
