THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

How to describe Dark Side of the Moon? Well, it's hard to summarize such a great work of art. Hmm... Dark Side of the Moon was the first Floyd album I ever listened to, and "Brain Damage" was the first Floyd song I ever heard. When I actually listened to the whole album, I experienced a musical epiphany that I have not experienced since I listened to In The Court of the Crimson King for the first time. All these feelings and emotions just rushed at me, from the dreamy, floaty "Breathe (In The Air)", to the tightly written and totally rocking song "Time", to the wonderfully trippy "The Great Gig In The Sky", which advanced into "Money", which cramped my mind with no place to roam until it let me go again at "Us and Them", and my mind was allowed to float, continuing to float throughout "Any Colour You Like" and "Brain Damage" and finally climaxing in the intense but uplifting "Eclipse". What a beautiful album. I love this album so much, I have at least two formats of it at all times. Listen to it. It is a masterpiece of progressive rock, with maybe only Wish You Were Here topping it because of slightly tighter writing. (I like every Pink Floyd album for what it is, though)
