Topic: DSOTM OVERRATED!! Posted: November 27 2005 at 02:41 |
i dont see what all the hype about this album is, sure it sold alot,
sure its got some decent songs on it, but some of them are also not the
best, anyone tell me why its ranked so high?

total non-creativity in the bass playing (he does that "bum-bum" thing
about a million times on that album, if you know what im talking
about). i think its a pretty damn good album though, it terms of
hypnotic-ness, laid back-ness, and disurbing-ness, great to get stoned
to of course.

i like the album, i just think its quite overrated, i agree with you
about the laidbackness of the album and the bass playing is quite
uninspired

I don't get anything out of this album unless I play it really loud! I think its a rock album thats wrongly pigeon-holed as 'prog'.The subsequent PF albums were prog but DSOTM is just a good straight forward rock album where the gaps have been filled in between the tracks.

If you think it's overrated so don't vote it so high. IMO its very good album and deserve 5 stars indeed. But it's only my subjective opinion. Everyone has it's own and there is nothing wrong in this situation.

Indeed. Over-rated threads are over-rated. Ratings of all albums here are average. High ratings means that people likes the album. So if anybody think some album is over-rated just rate it with rate that you think is proper. That's all

Could someone please clarify for the uninitiated what the
hell is DSOTM, so we know whether we should bitch about it's
being overrated or not?

Definitely a high point in the Waters dominated phase of Floyd, and an
end point to the earlier glory years of progressive... for the more virtuosic
groups , their high points culminated around the same time (in Relayer,
Brain Salad Surgery, the Lamb Lies Down and Passion Play), in that they took
progressive so far that they couldn't go further in that direction, and much
of their audience couldn't keep up with them. In Floyd's case, Dark Side
wasn't musically as adventurous or experimental as their earlier works, but
brought a new level of perfection in song-writing and production, which
would set the standard for rock and pop in general for the next decade and
a half. You can't underestimate it's qualities and influence in that sense, but
it's debatable whether its influence (the overemphasize on production that
dominated the 80s) was really a good thing for music.
