Not only does it stand the test of time after 50 years, it still sounds like it was recorded in the future. This album will live for centuries.
THIS! it does not sound like it was recorded 50 years ago
Definitely sits among the highest examples of timeless in its lasting appeal and its impact on newer listeners. The definition of a high-concept album that dares to give its audience time to dwell and think. Loved it on first listen in the ‘70s and love it even more now when I see it being discovered all over again. PS: getting high doesn’t hurt, either.
One of the few albums that withstands repeated listens for me. I remember when it came out and I believe it ranks amongst the greatest albums ever made.
Booooring!
@@kjejon1 It's OK, you'll probably enjoy it more when you grow up.
Could be the best album ever recorded. Hard to overstate how good it is.
Certainly is one of the best albums
I've had a few younger people argue OK Computer by Radiohead is on a par with DSOTM but I don't agree with that. Don't get me wrong, OK Computer is a solid album but it doesn't flow from beginning to end, with stupendous highs and lows the way DSOTM does.
Hard to imagine an album as good being released again.
To me this album is like the bible. It's its own entity...I wouldn't list the bible when rating my favourite books...but it's "gospel" same applies musically to dsotm for me lol.
@@ivanjulian2532 no way radiohead is on the same level as pink floyd like they can be a good band and all that but no way
Me at 15 years old, in my parent’s basement, listening to this album obsessively for months like a little weirdo. It still moves me to tears.
Me too, but as an Aussie no basement but at a friends flat. We all sat in the dark in beanbags, chilled from some green stuff, and it was mind blowing. I am now 62 and have the original and the Pulse concert in 94 in my car and listen to it so loud still. Will never get sick of listening to this and them!
Yes time spent relaxing is all we have. Everyday pushing the rock back up the hill only for it to roll back down again. Sisyphus happy after a long day. Pop Music as Existential Angst. One reviewer called it "Quaalude Rock" - Quaalude was a POWERFUL tranquilizer popular in the 70s. Brilliant. Probably the #1 Concept album of all time. On the top 200 album charts for about 400 years.
You. Not. Alone.
I've been listening to this album for 45 years. I'm 57 now. It still hits hard. I've got tears in my eyes just from watching this video.
I first bought an 8-track of DSOTM in 1975-76. But summers during college in the 80s I’d put the album on my stereo in my parents basement and listen to it in the dark, almost daily after work. Often through speakers with my head in between them!
This album was 14 times platinum and on the charts for 981 weeks.
OK that is wild!!
The 981 weeks is mind blowing. Someone born on the day the album released would have graduated high school and been old enough to vote and serve in the military by the time the album left the charts. It charted for an entire generation of people.
Did you also know that the sound engineer for this album , was alan parsons from the alan parsons project @@moonlitegram
@@mikekroft86 and Abbey Road by The Beatles, five albums by The Hollies, ...
I doubt this, 981 weeks would be about 81 years
Hats off to you for listening to the entire album in one take. That's how it was meant to be enjoyed. Hopefully you now have a better understanding of why us old folks say, "You don't listen to Pink Floyd songs - you listen to Pink Floyd albums..."
That is so true. I actually don´t think I have EVER heard just one PF tune if I put it on my self. ALWAYS a full album, and no compilations 🙂
The magic of this album is listening to it at different stages of your life and finding new profound meanings. Happy listening!
Yeah I liked Us and Them the first time I heard it but later on it probably became my favourite song on the album. It really makes me sad but I just enjoy it.
Exactly!
I won't sing the praises of Pink Floyd. Not necessary. They are obviously next level, but I wanted to interact. This is the first time I've come across your channel! I enjoyed your reaction! I liked your rating system a lot. I especially appreciated your second rating addition. All in all, I felt like you deserved a bit more than just a thumbs up. So, thank you.
This album doesn’t stand the test of time. It’s timeless 🤘🤘
It's the best album in Space Time... and Space Time is infinite so... Nothing to test, just be glad to have the CHANCE to be able to hear it, and enjoy it til death stops you.
Whatchu talking about Time is the fourth track of the album.
Definitely one of the best albums ever produced.
At 60yrs old, I STILL listen to this album in it's entirety once a week. It IS the song of life. And I do believe it is the greatest album of all time.
It's the best album cover to cover...that has ever been made. Period
You do the best reactions! Also, you have the ability to lighten anyone's mood, it's a great gift you have. 😊 My favourite tracks are 'Time' and 'Us and Them', such moving, epic brilliance. 50 years on, and this record is still making waves and influencing musicians the world over. 😎
Thank you! 😊
Quite honestly, it's a perfect album.
No
@@user-mx5ey4xj9rL opinion.
Great stuff. If you get the chance to do Wish You Were Here that would be excellent. That's my favourite of theirs.
It's only five songs, but the first and last are two epic halves of the same piece bookending the others and it all fits together so beautifully - masterpiece.
Yes! Doubly so because she was touched by the Syd Barrett tribute in Dark Side. Wish You Were Here digs deeper on that theme.
I second that emotion. As if an album could be even MOODIER than "Dark Side Of The Moon".
Wish You Were Here is my favorite of theirs, followed closely by Animals.
Listen to WYWH next
Animals, and the Wall, and Meddle as well
Love - Forever Changes is one of my favorite albums and it definitely deserves a listen sometime in the future
Absolutely love it!
Hope she reads it
This album is a masterpiece. One thing that I've always thought about "Dark Side Of The Moon" is that it is what I call a "malleable" album. It can be just about anything you want it to be. If you want music to study by, or music to really listen to, or just some great ambiance, put on "Dark Side Of The Moon". It does any and all those things. And you never quite hear it the same each time you listen to it. You pick up different things and re-interpret other things every time. Truly, one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
It's basically the perfect album. There's really not much else on the same level IMO. People will still be listening to it for a long, long time, it's themes are timeless.
Pink Floyd is for the ADVANCED music listener,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
And only for those who dare to enter the floyd hole! Some never return!
I'm so impressed with how much information, experience, humor, and gravitas you packed into an ~8 minute video. When I saw the video length I thought "there's no way this video can do justice to this amazing album" yet perhaps it's one of the best reactions to DSotM I've ever seen! It's simply one of the best and most timeless albums ever, and while it will continue to age, it's hard to imagine it ever truly becoming "old".
Wish You Were Here is even better, I think…Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a masterpiece.
1974 first time listening to Pink Floyd DARK SIDE OF THE MOON never stopped I'm privileged knowing pink Floyd 💗 for the LEGENDARY music .
This was the first LP I ever bought. It was early in the summer of 1973, I think it was June. I still have the poster and stickers that came in the album. I have bought the CD later on and I still have them both. I love it!
One of the best albums ever!!! Never, ever, get tired of listening to it!...
A true MASTERPIECE, from the second greatest band ever (after the boys, the FAB FOUR, of course)!...
FINALLY A PINK FLOYD SAGA BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SO EAGERLY :)
I'm glad you enjoyed this. I hold it in extremely high regard, an unequaled accomplishment in music. There will never be anything remotely like it.
pet sounds >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
@@hello_mate8974 I adore Pet Sounds too and also consider it unequalable. The two albums are too different from each other for direct comparisons.
Unequalled 😂😂
@@jyutzler fair
Hundreds of years from now people will be listening to this masterpiece, It was on the top 100 albums list for 18 years. Brilliant, The Time guitar solo is one of the best ever recorded! The vocals on Great gig were recorded 1 time. Insane
I'm so happy, you are here again.
This album has reduced me to tears on multiple occasions
I'm so pleased you took time to really think about these songs, look into them, take their order seriously, etc. Really like your thoughtfulness (and glad the rank for "Any Colour You Like," which over the years has become my favorite track in the sequence, rose)!
I really love these videos breaking down albums you have never heard. Perfect length of time and you get your point across well in a creative way!
Thanks for sharing this, it was fun. I like this format for albums.
Wow! I got goosebumps watching you hear this for the first time! First Pet Sounds....now this! You were talking about Syd. Their NEXT album, "Wish You Were Here" is a complete masterpiece, a heartbreaking one where Syd is very much the ghost in the room. Do not miss that album, on or off the channel, that's even MORE of a mood than "Dark Side" if you can believe such a thing! And again, it's one long suite of music, everything running into each other......(we must thank Sgt. Pepper for that!) They also did a rock opera, The Wall, which given your musical background, you would definitely want to check out on or off the channel. Syd haunts that as well! And to hear the actual Syd, the single "See Emily Play" and their first album "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" will show you what a great melodicist and songwriter HE was, a great songwriter. They got their biggest success years later with Dark Side Of The Moon, but it took them a long time to re-invent their band, Syd was "the" focal point of the band when they started. THANKS, CAROLINE!!!!
I haven't listened to this album for decades.Even just hearing those little snippets brings back how much I loved listening to it on headphones.... must do again before all the time is gone. Glad you are digging the songs/bands of my youth so much!
So glad that you're venturing into the Prog genre. Next stop.....YES!!!
Great reaction. Love the new concise editing approach and corresponding captions. And animated you is cute. Your observations are spot-on as usual. I’m glad you’re back doing album reactions semi-regularly. 😉
Oh damn. I watched all of your Beatles reactions as they were coming out and loved them. Randomly recommended this video and to see the change in production value and style is sick. Keep it up!
Album recommendations:
Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin
Master of Reality - Black Sabbath
Innervisions - Stevie Wonder
Ram - Paul & Linda McCartney
Aja - Steely Dan
Dreamboat Annie - Heart
Electric Warrior - T.Rex
All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon
Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan
Tumbleweed Connection - Elton John
Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones
Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones
Great video, Caroline👍 i love it.
This is the first reaction I've watched where Dark Side is listened to as it was meant to be, all the way through. It is a concept album of which they wanted to use different elements which were innovative for the time. They had Alan Parsons as a sound engineer that was a big part of achieving what they wanted. For me the best way to listen is with a set of headphones and laying back in a beanbag chair and mellowing out. This is one album that is timeless, never getting old and being discovered with each passing generation.
This episode was so satisfying and fun. Now I have to listen to it ... loud. Thanks, C!
Now it's time to watch the live PULSE concert and enjoy all their amazing tracks. It is also one of the best visual concert of al time.
737 weeks in the top 10 on bill board is almost 14 years, crazy for an album. MJs thriller comes in 2nd at just over 2 years. Best album of all time? Statisticly yes!
Great review. Looking forward to more.
As I student I watched them play this live at Knebworth park in 1975. It was far from perfect, but we didn't care... The album still gives me goosebumps, especially The Great Gig in the Sky, with Clare Torrey's sublime vocals.
Loved your video, very inventive with interesting visuals. Dark Side of the Moon is an amazing album. I also enjoyed your "Moon" ranking system. All of the songs are great but I agree with you that "Time," with its powerful and thought provoking lyrics, really stands out. Great work as always.
Great editing bravo and good on you for checking it out.. when I was a kid this was the all time highest selling album
That was a fine review and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Do more albums please.
Everyone remembers the first time they heard Dark Side of the Moon. I also remember the first time my 14 year old son heard it. We were on a coach, travelling from an airport to our holiday destination. I said - have a listen to this - it blew him away.
We were very busy listening to all of this in the 70's, it took all the way to the 80's to reflect.
great video, great commentaries!
Thanks for your thoughtful reaction. Dark Side of the Moon just gets better every time I listen to the album. Maybe age lends deeper meaning to parts of this masterpiece. Wish You Were Here is a logical follow on and happens to be my favorite Pink Floyd album.
Very nice job taking on this album. I'm someone who literally grew up with this album and it still feels refreshing every time.
properly sitting down and listening to this album for the first time feels like an awakening
Really good video - great to see you finding an approach that works after your excellent Beatles reactions.
I finally got around to subscribing, and sorry for the delay, which I'm going to find some way to blame my cat, as is my custom. Your commentary as always is wonderful, but I'm especially excited by the direction you've taken with your editing recently. It's a rhythm and feel I don't think I've ever seen in a reaction video before, one that truly sets this one apart, and I can't wait to see what's coming from you. (And yes, joining the chorus: it's a flippin' great album.)
I'm glad I listened to this before the internet was around. You had to make up your own mind about what it all meant. It's so different listening to an album on vinyl. You were more invested and I rarely skipped any tracks.
The way u analysed this made me understand it a lot better and I’ve been listening to it for like 2 years.
Such a great video! Simple but effective.
You should listen to "Wish you were here" and "animals" they're great albums too
So good to see your friendly face has found it’s way into the algorithm wherein I first discovered you. I like the format. Not too done up but sleeker in a good friendly way.
This album was an early one for me but I eventually tired of it in my teens (early 80s), but I think your review highlights why it really is such a good album despite its large looming presence over rock music for decades now. I’m more of a discoverer, so I do that a great deal.
Thank you and hello again from Long Island, New York, USA.
Beautifully made video here. Really love your insight on this album.
Hiya Cazza , hope you're doing great. Love the reaction 👍🎸
Great analysis, great channel! I am envious that you’re hearing not only this album but all of the album choices for the first time. My listening suggestion: “Astral Weeks” by Van Morrison 😊
You did an amazing job editing/understanding. Peace/JT
A Crackin Good video and that album still good today Thank You
Great video Caroline and nice to see you back on YT. I remember on your Beatle videos you mentioning Billy Joel a few times - The Stranger could be a good album to do at some point?
any colour you like has been far my favorite song
I still remember the first time I sat and listened to the entire album with the lyrics on my lap. I have listened to it countless times and it is still amazing
If you plan to listen to more Floyd , then Whish you where Here , should be your next listen.
Incredible album and a great review. It's always a joy to see how much of a journey you go on with each album, showing such sensitivity to the emotions portrayed and evoked.
For a recommendation, I'd love to see your take on Black Sabbath "Master of Reality".
Probably the best Pink Floyd album reaction I've seen. Looking forward to seeing more of the channel. I hope you consider doing some Bob Dylan album reactions like Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing It All Back Home.
I just listened to it all the way through again two weeks ago for the first time in a few years. Yes, it is timeless.
I first heard it in 1972, in concert, well before the album came out. At that point, it was named "Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics". You can only imagine how great that concert was.
I heard it again in concert after the album release, at which point they had added the sax and vocals that you hear on the album. I'm blessed to have heard both the working version and the finished product in the early Seventies.
After the first show, I told everybody to wait - they were about to hear music that will be in play forever. The most classic of all Classic Rock.
But make it a point to listen to "Echoes" off their album "Meddle" - it was the composition that told me they would be historic.
Glad you're doing some more reactions now and again! Paul McCartney albums in the future by any chance? 🙏
agreed, would love to see her cover the 'Band on the run' album
@siroswaldfortitude5346 Yeah, and since there's so many there wouldn't be a need to do every single album. I think the main ones worth making a video about would be:
- Ram
- Band on the Run
-Tug of War
- Flowers in the Dirt
- Flaming Pie
- Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
I had this on an 8-track player when I first went into the Navy in 1975. I listened to the entire album about 3x/day for a month...it was so mesmerizing.
The unique rating systems are becoming a really fun trend haha
Always a privilege to see you explore the greats!
I was 10 years old when they recorded this. It blows my mind how good it is
Its amazing that they started working on pieces in 1971, did a live performance which was recorded on okay equipment just north of London in summer 1972 before the UK release in November , then US release March 1973.
in my first acid trip i was w friends at the forest , we were playing guitar n stuff , and at some point they asked me to play em a song and what came to my mind was brain damage , as i started playing it the meaning of the song suddenly hit me hard like , i could literally see what they were talking about in the song , it felt like i was the song itself , living the song, and the guitar strings felt like they were my heartbeats , it's hard to explain the full experience however i was so amazed that i stopped midway to proccess what i have just experienced !!
that's why this song is amongst my favorites of all time
The absolute classic of all classic albums!
have seen this band play live 3 times all burnt into my soul
I heard the song "US and Them" in 1980 at age 20 and it got me hooked on them. I only knew Money from this album when it came out in 1973. I was a late bloomer. I was still listening to the Beatles and Elton John constantly through 1975. In 1980, we had The Wall (1979) and I went back to listen to Animals and Wish You Were Here.
What a fantastic video 💕
I think this is one of the best records ever made, I still have my original vinyl copy, I remember going out to buy it, remember the first time I played it and remember taking it to a drunken party with my friends and playing it all night long. Every time I play it I remember how I felt at that time in my life, what I was doing and all of the forgotten faces of my friends. They were good songs and well recorded and engineered which makes it a joy to listen to even to this day, a true masterpiece.
I was so hoping that you would review Pink Floyd!
Good to see you doing this again! “The Wall” next. My favourite but not the best is “A momentary lapse of reason”.
I bought this in high school when it came out in 1973. Since then I've had a copy on about every form of media.
The album and 8-track back in '73, cassette a couple of years later. Compact disc in the early eighties, I owned a Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Original Master Recording on virgin vinyl, you could see through it, remarkable clarity, and lastly a Super Audio recording Compact Disc.
Hola Caroline, este Album es una obra maestra ,una de las mas grandes bandas de la historia.
The Latin word for “Moon” is “Luna”. “Lunatics” comes from the Latin “Lunaticus”, which originally referred to people suffering from madness, once thought to be caused by the moon. The lyrics “And everything under the Sun is in tune But the Sun is Eclipsed by the Moon”, are pointing out how everything is exactly were and how it’s supposed to be, regardless of us humans…and that the concepts of Time, Death, Anxiety, War, Greed, Love, Faith etc…are all created between our ears…in our Moon. Our mind is the Dark Moon that keeps eclipsing the vastness and beauty of the Sun, which is, “Life…the Universe and Everything”, to quote Douglas Adams. Really enjoying your videos!
I love that you analyze the meaning of the lyrics.. Not all rock band's lyrics have a true meaning, sometimes they were written with multiple meanings or left up to the listeners imagination.
I remember sitting in a car at someone's house waiting for a friend when Us and Them came on the radio. I had never heard it before and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. 35 years later I still do.
Great reaction Caroline! I've always enjoyed your reactions when you get around to posting some! You don't need to do them "next" but my super high recommendations for you to do at some point in the future are the first four Queen albums (Queen I, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera) and the four great Supertramp albums (Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis?, Even In The Quietest Moments and Breakfast In America)! Stay well!!
Honestly that whole run of Pink Floyd at the time was amazing. Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Animals, all banger of albums.
yes it does 😎
I'm glad seeing that you are improving your videos into such a high level of commentaries and visual stuff, even the videos are shorter compared to The Beatles ones.
I know your channel since these Beatles videos and I love your analysis and I can see how much you love music.
Would you ever do these types of videos for The Beatles again or the first ones are the only ones? It would be nice to see if you changed your perspective through time.
If you don't do it, would you try listening to Led Zeppelin IV?
Also The Wall by Pink Floyd is a very good option
60, 70 & 80 music artist competition trying to one up each other lead to so many great LPs. “Dark Side Of The Moon” was a highlight.
The best follow-up for this would be WISH YOU WERE HERE, complete album.
What a really fun reaction to the full album and takes on each song, very clever!
Hope you get to explore their full discography and see the live performance videos, the band not only pioneered musically, but did many firsts in live performances with a near magician of a collaborator for the stage craft and visuals ( Marc Brickman), even inventing new gear, they used lasers like no other by 1994 using copper-vapor lasers that cost over $120,000 each. Watch their 1994 Pulse Concert and you'll wish you had been there but still feel moved by the experience.
Brilliant pacing of the songs. Kept my interest
I've been listening to this album since it's release (aged almost 15) and now as I reach old age my reactions to it are more powerful.
The album is very much an essay on the passage through life. If you re listen to the first and last tracks you will find the lyrics mirror each other: The summary of a life is what you do and experience. Just like an essay, with an introduction which says what will be discussed, the main body which discusses the subject (here of a life lived), then finally the conclusion which says that you have said it! Perfect.
This is my absolutely favourite album and have three LPs and more than dozen box sets and CDs through the years and in fact going to buy the 50 year box set tomorrow, as our local HMV has only reopened after a flood many months ago.
The best advice ever: Love, Touch, See more. It's all your life will ever be.
