THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

What's left to say about this wonderful, brilliant album that hasn't already been said? The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest and most legendary albums in Pink Floyd's oeuvre and even in all progressive rock ever made. From the simple, but touching vocals of "Breathe" to the magnificent "Time". Followed by the beautiful piano and vocal song, opening with a beautiful, quiet piano piece, followed by the great, powerful vocal parts of Clare Torry, a wonderful song. After this, "Money" sets in. A nice song with a nice melody (and nice lyrics too), the single of the album. If you think this album was already beautiful up 'til now - which it is - you're about to be surprised, because the best is yet to come. After "Money", we hear a sound getting louder. It gets louder and louder and BANG! The simple but brilliant and dreamy melody of "Us and Them" begins. A saxophone sets in for even more atmosphere in the music. Roger Waters starts singing a nice and quiet verse up until the chorus, where all instruments harmonize and unite in a sound that is simply wonderful! Absolutely my favourite song of the album. After "Us and them" there's the instrumental song "Any Colour you like". It sounds sort of improvising, like the band is just jamming, but the effect is nice. However, I always get impatient while listening to this track, because it is followed by "Brain Damage". Great, slow song with nice verses and a very catchy chorus. After that, we get the closing track "Eclipse". This is the ultimate album closer. Some people say that it's too simple, but I personally really like it and it puts a great ending to a great album. All and all, after a few listens, I can definitely say that this album is worth your money ten times and a MASTERPIECE in progressive music!
