THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Dark Side of the Moon is Floyd's Everest for many. Wonderful album with great athmosphere and lyrics. But yes, there are weak spots!

Loved by many, bashed by few. This album starts with the magnificent "Speak To Me/Breathe", starting with human scream and goes to a nice spacey tune. "On The Run" is quite funny, I suppose it is reflected to fear of flight, this one should not be skipped, cause it keeps the athmosphere together before "Time", which is a wonderful song, too short but wonderful. One of the best vocals and lyrics from Waters, and the guitar solo...!!

The Great Gig In The Sky is funny one. First timers usually don't like it. I didn't, but after few listenings I found it quite nice, the female vocals are insane! Well then comes "Money" a streched poppish but a nice PF tune with great vocals. The bassline is nice!

"Us And Them" is nice, I don't know what the song is about (should read more!) but it's great, nothing really ultraspecial but I like it. Followed by the most boring song on the album "Any Colour You Like", if you skip some song, skip this. "Brain Damage" is my favourite, the chorus is so wonderful that I almost die if I don't listen it once a day. This album then closes to "Eclipse" which keeps the wonderful athmosphere of Brain Damage and ends beautifully.

This is really a must have for everyone, because of certain songs and the athmosphere that goes through the whole album. It's not the best Floyd offered us, and it's not a fulltime masterpiece. But it is a must have! Love the artwork. 4+
