THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

It didn't take me a lot of time to decide which album would receive my first review. "Dark Side Of The Moon" has been my favorite album since 2006/2007. Floyd was one of the first bands I listened to, and the first progressive one. At the beginning I didn't like it that much, I found songs like "On the Run" or "The Great Gig In The Sky" boring, and i didn't like that much "Brain Damage" or "Breathe" for example. But after listening to it a couple of times I began to love it more and more. All the songs in the album are wonderful. There are two songs that people complain about sometimes. The first one is "On The Run", as I said before, I didn't like it a couple of years ago, but I do now. I consider it a creative avant-garde song. The effects are awesome and it creates a dark atmosphere that I really enjoy. It fits wonderfully in the album and I couldn't imagine Dark Side without it. The other one is "Money", the reason some people doesn't like it, it's because it's "commercial", i'm not going to say it's not, but I don't think that makes it a bad song. It has a great riff, the arrangements of Gilmour and Wright are really cool and the lyrics are awesome (like in the rest of the album). The rest is simply wonderful, Breathe with it's weird vocals and an amazing job by Gilmour in the slide guitar, Time has the best intro that a song can have and the greatest guitar solo too, TGGITS which has an awesome performance by Clare Torry, Us & Them is simply Rick's best song, the psychedelic Any Color You Like, Brain Damage and it's powerful chorus and Eclipse, the perfect ending.

5 stars for sure!
