In ’73, Pink Floyd released my favorite album ever – The Dark Side of The Moon. Several years later, when I first heard it, I was blown away. I had never heard anything like it in my life.
Prior to discovering Pink Floyd, I was listening to bands like the Foo Fighters and Chili Peppers. I still listen to these same bands, but Pink Floyd has redefined what music means to me.
I highly recommend that anyone who is getting into rock music check out The Dark Side of The Moon. It’s a classic, classic album.
The tracks on the album “flow” into one another, there’s only one real break in between songs on the entire record. The album is very psychedelic, including many instrumental breaks.
The album is also highlighted by it’s use of synthesizers, which was extremely radical and game-changing at the time.
The Dark Side of The Moon frequently appears on “Best Rock Album” lists all over the Internet. The production quality is so rich that to this day it is is used when showcasing sound systems’ abilities.
The album ends with two amazing tracks, “Brain Damage” and “Eclipse”, which provide the perfect ending to this colossal masterpiece.
The artwork that was released with the album is also amazing!
The use of the triangle with the prism of light flashing through it is extremely effective and in a way relates to the sound of the record in a way I can’t even describe.
The Dark Side of The Moon is a must listen album. Feel free to share your memories and thoughts about the album and it’s amazing artwork in the comment section below.
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon!
