An Assorted Piece for Lunatics

Darkside of the Moon is considered and in my opinion is one of the best albums of all time. The melodies, harmonies, rythmic patterns, and song structures are amazing throughout this whole album. But the true measure of a great album is how it can relate to you the listener. The album "speaks" to you, about everything, from growing up and growing older, and death to conformatiy, war, and even the evils that money and power bring too you.

This album is amazing, a 42 minute song that takes you places you will never dream off. It's set up like a play, and is and amazing conceptual album. The songs are interwoven so perfectly, and the mastery of the insturments is so great on this cd. Its phenomonal.

Song List:

Speak/Breathe: 9/10 a great track, awsome pedal steel guitar, w/ great effects. Sounds very calm and laid back, gets you into the album

On the Run: 9/10 a very interesting synthesiser track, draws your attention even close to the album, the speed increases, and the action rises

Time: 10/10 a great guitar track, one of my favorite solos of all time. This track keeps your interest, and really gets you into the cd. It's combined w/ Breathe Reprise

The Great Gig in the Sky: 10/10 the last of the first four tracks, great piano, very classical, but modern. the action speeds up the gos down.

Money: 8/10 my least favorite song. A break from the albums action, tones it down. A very upbeat song, talking about negative ascpects of music.

Us and Them: 10/10 a very good piano and sax in this song. An anti war song which really brings you back into the cd with its cresendos, and its energy.

Any Colour You Like: 10/10 this is my favorite song of the cd. Every insturment involved is amazing, and it's so perfectly put together.

Brain Damage/Eclipse: 10/10 Two very good tracks, about conformity, and how being different is really alright. The music is amazing, and its ended in a very fast climactic pace. Very good, with my favorite line of the cd "Everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclisped by the moon"

A great album, definetly a must have by anyone. It should be listened to all the way through though too get the full effect.

And if you want too try the Wizard of Oz thing, start the cd on the third roar of the lion in the black and white version. It will play three times through.

The dark side of stupidity

There's not much more I can say except that this CD ranks high on my list of most overrated albums. The music is so shrill and boring it hurts. Negative stars.
