Reviews for Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd may have released better albums, but this LP has certainly helped to define them, filled with neo-psychedelic art rock, jazz fusion and blues-rock before turning back to psychedelia.  Few albums have exhibited the pure commercial strength that Dark Side of the Moon (originally released in March of 1973) achieved, remaining on the charts for 741 weeks (fourteen years), the longest duration of any album in history. With an estimated 45 million units sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album, one of the best-selling albums worldwide and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

With cuts like the commercially successful and infectiously rhythmic "Money," to the trippy, melodic precision of "Us and Them," the cuts flow so evenly, it would be near impossible to duplicate that magic again.  Other cuts include the soaring harmonies of "Time," where the band explores human divisions to the laid-back instrumentals, "On the Run," which explores the pressure of traveling by songwriter Richard Wright or the cut "Any Colour You Like," which consists of a synthesized tune which segues into a guitar solo, the signature harmonizing guitar solo ‘s  of David Gilmour. "Brain Damage" looks at a mental illness resulting from the elevation of fame and success, in particular the line "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" reflected the mental breakdown of former band-mate Syd Barrett.

“... I think that when it was finished, everyone thought it was the best thing we'd ever done to date, and everyone was very pleased with it, but there's no way that anyone felt it was five times as good as Meddle, or eight times as good as Atom Heart Mother, or the sort of figures that it has in fact sold. It was [...] not only about being a good album but also about being in the right place at the right time.”

—Nick Mason

They certainly were in the right place at the right time and while the band explored their inner feelings about time, money, madness and death, the music public has been treated to some of the most timeless music imaginable.
