Additional InformationBy condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon. The primary revelation of Dark Side of the Moon is what a little focus does for the band. Roger Waters wrote a series of songs about mundane, everyday details which aren't that impressive by themselves, but when given the sonic backdrop of Floyd's slow, atmospheric soundscapes and carefully placed sound effects, they achieve an emotional resonance. But what gives the album true power is the subtly textured music, which evolves from ponderous, neo-psychedelic art rock to jazz fusion and blues-rock before turning back to psychedelia. It's dense with detail, but leisurely paced, creating its own dark, haunting world. Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one. [A remastered version was released in 2011.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
ReviewsRolling Stone (12/11/03, p.110) - Ranked #43 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...One of the best-produced rock albums ever..." Rolling Stone (5/24/73, p.57) - "...The sound is lush and multi-layered while remaining clear and well-structured....a fine album with a textural and conceptual richness that not only invites, but demands involvement....the excellence of a superb performance..." Q (10/94, p.137) - 4 Stars - Excellent Uncut (5/03, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The subdued, darkly muttering, sombrely somnolent music of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON startles....An achievement of considerable merit..." NME (Magazine) (3/20/93, p.33) - 8 - Excellent - "...although everything your punk rock elder brother said was undeniably true, it doesn't take a great mental leap to achieve the mind-set of the pot-smoking philosophy student and pronounce this album a super-sensory classic..."

good return to an older format.
in all honesty, i'm not keen on the remastered edition. i much prefer the original edition, where you could hear the sound of the tape. the remastered edition is too clinical, too clean, and with sound that was designed to sound good with certain characteristics of tape, that just doesn't quite work for me. that said, the sound on the vinyl itself is better than you can download. better than cd. and i have owned both the original tape mastered cds that were relased in the 80s, and remastered cds that were released later, and both don't quite have the same sound as vinyl. this one is a great, full sound, though, which does better than cds, at least while the vinyl is new, and many like myself, in their 40s and older, will appreciate the pop and crackle you only get from well used vinyl. still not tape, but very very good for the nostalgia.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

One of the best
Arguably ohe of the best rock albums of all time. Transcends time, still relevant and a totally immersive experience. Didnt get to see pink floyd as a band but have seen Roger waters do most of the album on 2 tours which is a tour de'force in itself. Love this album.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
