Uplifting? Depressing? This album is no where near good enough to influence my emotions in any way, other than to bore me. And what's this nonsense about the album's concept? This is not a concept album in my humble opinion. AOR does not always equal concept album. Just my two cents.

Actually neither - I just find it an excellent listen (though it's not my favourite PF album). I would say "Animals" or "The Wall" are much more depressing, especially the former, though they are both masterpieces. BTW, I know albums which are far more depressing than anything PF ever did: for instance, A Perfect Circle's "Mer de Noms", which I find so depressing (not to mention somewhat boring) I can hardly listen to it from beginning to end.

I never understood why so many people(most of them non-prog listeners) consider DSOTM to be dark.
From Breathe to Eclipse I find it to be very relaxing and uplifting....and GREAT

I don't find any of the music I like depressing - none at all. If one enjoys the musuc, how can it depress you? It seems incongruous to me. Not even Leonard Cohen - whom I like. Now for depressing - Diana Ross! (And that doesn't pass my ears without me putting up a fight!)

I find the album sensitive, but dour.
