Review: Floyd's best album, and a staple of classic rock repertoire - I think most serious music fans would consider Pink Floyd one of the Top 5 British Bands of all time, so to say that this album is their greatest acheivement should not be done so lightly. However, it is quite simply Pink Floyd's most complete and balanced effort. Pink Floyd was at a musical crossroads at the time of this album's completion; they had just come off of the success of 'Meddle', and had completed a surprisingly good soundtrack entitled 'Obscured By Clouds'. Still, Pink Floyd did not have a definitive sound in the post-Barret era, having moved away from exceedingly experimental works like Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother (both great albums in their own right) into slightly more grounded territory (subjectively speaking). With 'Meddle', the 20+ minute mind-bender 'Echoes' provided a launching point, the beginning of a new Pink Floyd sound which would become instantly recognizeable in the coming years. This manifestation of Floyd moved ever further from Barret's tendencies and more towards the influence of Waters and Gilmour. But what really sets this album apart from their later projects is the artistic balance the bandmembers were able to achieve. Waters wrote all of the lyrics and came up with the concept for Dark Side; Gilmour wrote much of the music, and created some of the most memorable guitar licks of the era. Wright orchestrated much of the more symphonic works (especially notable with Great Gig in the Sky) while adding outstanding keyboard accompaniment (see Any Colour You Like), and as always, Mason paced the whole show with the right amount of restraint and spacing necessary for a moderate-to-slow paced album such as this, while adding his expertise as a sound-effects guru (most notably with On the Run). In the follow-up albums, Waters exerts more and more control, eventually dominating Floyd's music to such an extent that it eventually caused the band's demise following the Final Cut. The amazing thing about this album is the way many genres are touched upon, while all still exhibiting the now classic "Floydian" sound; they touch on blues-rock with 'Money', psychedelic R&B with 'Great Gig in the Sky', prototypical electronica with 'On the Run', straight ahead rockers like 'Time', and more classically rooted compositions like 'Eclipse' and 'Us and Them' and even low-key funk-rock with 'Breathe'. And yet in spite of these sometimes divergent genres, it is all easily distinguishable as Floyd from the first note. Another aspect of this album that stands out from its predecessors is the obvious jump in musicianship; the level of perfection in each note is unmatched in their earlier works, and is only rivalled, not surpassed with later entries. Add to this the easily-identified-with thematic material concerning Life, Death, Madness, Money and the Unknown, and you have an immortal album. Generations of fans come and go, but just about every serious music-lover has purchased a copy of this. I recommend this album to anyone and everyone. It should be heard at least once while you're here. Wish You Were Here, Animals and the Wall are all essential as well, but none are at the same level. You owe it to yourself to purchase this if you have not heard this album yet. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EVSACLE | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,546 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #271 in Progressive Rock | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (376) | | Date First Available | August 30, 2013 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Parlophone | | Manufacturer | Parlophone | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2016 | | Product Dimensions | 12.32 x 12.48 x 0.47 inches; 1.25 Pounds | ## Images ![Dark Side Of The Moon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519GtlMPY2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent album *by C***K on January 28, 2026* An iconic album! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Floyd's best album, and a staple of classic rock repertoire *by J***O on February 22, 2006* I think most serious music fans would consider Pink Floyd one of the Top 5 British Bands of all time, so to say that this album is their greatest acheivement should not be done so lightly.

One minor thing though... *by J***H on June 2, 2015* I treated myself to this record along with King Crimson's debut(that sounds AMAZING btw but that's another review) after my tax return came in. The packaging on this 180 gram vinyl is truly superb; all true to the original release as I understand and includes an additional poster and MP3 download. There may be a hint of digital mastering, but there is still enough original analog sound to stimulate your ears(GREAT headphone listen).There is only one gripe I have with the whole thing; this weird noise that occurs for the first 5 or so minutes on each side. Reviews for this release say it is "noisy" and I assume this is what they're talking about. But it is NOT surface noise...it is very strange; it's like a little semi-rhythmic tick in the right channel and it is very noticeable during the pulsating opening. No other record I have(new or old/inherited) does anything remotely like this. However, by the time "On the Run" is in full swing, it's not even there and then the rest of side A is completely free of it. The beginning of Side B also has it, but it not nearly as noticeable, as you cannot hear it at all during most of "Money". The only time you can slightly hear it again is the very beginning of "Us and Them". Once again, the rest of the record is free of it after that. Compare the final pulsating beats with the first on the album and it's like "Why doesn't the beginning of the record sound like this?" Other than that, this is a solid release and an awesome experience for a "Millennial" such as myself who grew up in the age of Walkman and other whatnot. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dark Side Of The Moon - Led Zeppelin IV - Houses of the Holy 2014 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1412409-dark-side-of-the-moon](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1412409-dark-side-of-the-moon) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
