Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):

1) Amazon.com essential recording
Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like "On the Run," "Time" and especially "Money" (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 was before the advent of digital recording techniques. This is probably Pink Floyd's best-known work, and it's an excellent place to start if you're new to the band. --Genevieve Williams

1) greatest album of all time   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Classic,timeless,Pink floyd's best.These are a few of the phrases often used to describe this album.I will go a step farther and say this is the best album of all time.This is a complete piece of music about life,time,and eventually death.Its sad,emotional,inspirational,and everything in between.Gilmour's guitar and voice and water's lyrics and concepts,together they are magic.I'll listen to this until the very end.

2) Definately A Classic From Pink Floyd   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This Pink Floyd album is definitely a masterpiece and is certainly one of their very best albums. All of the songs are great and I love David Gilmour's voice and his guitar playing! It's always great to hear and is timeless, indeed. A must for anyone that wants explore the history of rock and prog-rock.

3) Top Shelf Music   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
35 years old??? Yes, this album just turned 35 years ofage and is still timeless (actually 'Time' is on this album).First released in 1973, this album has become a staple of mostrock radio stations ever since. Billboard magazine ranked this album in it's Top 100 for l5years...a feat almost without equal. Maybe it is the success ofthis album that made following Pink Floyd albums pale in comparison.If you are new to Pink Floyd, this is the one album to have. Pouryourself a toddie, turn the lights down a click, and hit the 'play'button on the stereo....and enjoy!!

4) One of Many Floyd Masterpieces   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
What can I possibly say about this album that hasn't already been said? Roger Waters definitely finds his voice on this one, and the album has an incredible flow to it. Many of the tracks are staples on classic rock radio, and to that end it is overplayed and perhaps a bit overrated. But so many of these songs are classics, in every sense, it's difficult to give it less than stellar marks.

5) Creation of times passed...................   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
What more can be said after winning Album of the year twelve years in a row. There is no comparison to Waters Barrett and Gilmore. Forty years of non stop creativity and still going strong.
