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

One of the worst, most pretentious recordings in music history .......2007-07-27

These guys, Pink Floyd, are simply copying everything that I created on my 4-track back in 1968. I have thought about suing them on several occasions since the album was first released back in March of 1973, but I have never had the money to afford an attorney. Plus, The Electric Prunes were the first band to compose and perform this so-called psychedelic music.

Very overrated and unoriginal.

"Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death...".......2007-07-19

This black pearl of Rogerian profundity represents the pessimist's inversion of, "today is the first day of the rest of your life." Between both extremes lies the truth, which is that each day brings us closer to judgement, heaven or hell, the choice of which is ours, based upon the way that we tick away "the moments that make up the dull day." It takes courage to face the fact that our actions are meaningful and have eternal consequences, no matter how mundane they may be. "Life sucks and then you die" is a great excuse for those who are too lazy to clean the toilet, like your mother asked you to. Instead, you can flop down on the couch, get stoned, veg out to some Floyd, and tell yourself that you're so much better than "them," be they soldiers ("Us and Them"), or greedy businessmen ("Money"), or your mother, who still wants you to clean the toilet. So get over your self-righteous, self-pity, and do something for someone else for a change. A bath every once in a while wouldn't hurt either...


Of all the memorable lines in this great album, why do I seize on this one? Because it best represents the philosophy that lies beneath this album, which is, at best, pessimism, and at worst, despair and fatalism. This is dangerous stuff, especially for young people, who are prone to narcissism.

Although importantly flawed, DSOTM is a great album. "Money" and "Us and Them" are conceptual and musical masterpieces. "Money" is especially notable for the best use of sound effects in rock history, and the poignant "Us and Them" soars musically. "The Great Gig in the Sky" is a daring innovation (singing, without words) that wholly succeeds as a mystical, pagan contemplation of death. "Time" is another musical gem that, despite the objections given above, warns us all about wasting our talents, in what is perhaps my favorite line of the album, "Then one day you turn to find/ ten years have got behind you/ no one told you when to run/ you missed the starting gun." "On the Run" is sonically ground-breaking and a pleasure to listen to.

Unfortunately, the sophomoric "Brain Damage" mars the album with its spoken-word and cackling pretension. This is excusable due to former bandmate Syd Barrett's descent into madness, but "Brain Damage" sounds like something out of a bad science fiction movie, not as a mature consideration of mental illness.

Overall, DSOTM represents a historic and musical milestone, and is a must for every rock music collection, the above objections notwithstanding.

Polished and pretentious. .......2007-07-18

I listened to Pink Floyd when I was at school (late 1980s BTW). It just seemed the thing to do for a teenager. There was a feeling of thinking yourself more grown up listening to such a supposedly intelligent band. And maybe also a slight thrill of teenage rebellion in listening to a band that took drugs (gasp!)

Revsiting it so many years later it's hard to see what the fuss is about. It's a very well produced album I'll grant you that. Sound is excellent throughout (although perhaps Alan Parsons, not Pink Floyd themselves is mainly to thank for that) But *musically* I can't really see this as the greatest thing ever recorded, let alone greatest pop record.

Speak To Me- not really music,but an atmospheric intro
Breathe- Nice enough soft tune, but not really memorable. Water's is at his worst "butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" gentleness though.
On The Run - A synth going "bloobly bloobly blooby" to sound effects. Must have seemed clever in 1973 but it's just boring after about 3 listens.
Time- The first genuinely good song here. The guitar solo is about as good as the clean "understated" guitar style gets. Great intro too.
Great Gig In The Sky- Moving in parts, but a lot of the time it's just tuneless wailing.

Money- Floyd get funky. Meh. One of the first manifestations of Waters annoying "I hate the music business" fixation. Hey Roger my heart bleeds for you, with you having so much money. It's evil, I know.
Us And Them- Like Breathe, it's a quiet little song, quite pleasant, but to me it wouldn't sound out of place in Sesame Street.
Any Colour You Like - Hit and miss instrumental.
Brain Damage -Good song. I sometimes wonder though if Water's too obvious English pronounciations ("the lunatic is on the grawhss") are a turn on for Americans in the way that Monty Python's pronounciations of "bawwhhstid" have them in stitches.
Eclipse.- Nice ending to the album.

So overall, there are some good momemts here and there. But, in essence this album is essentially a soft rock album dressed up in Stanley Kubrick-esque pretentions. It's not "space rock", despite what people say. Early Tangerine Dream, for example, would have much more reason to call an album "Dark Side Of The Moon" than Pink Floyd.

I don't hate this album, I just don't think it's worth getting too excited over. I heard it in my formative years, but it's not music I think is worth revisiting.

Relevant Over 30 Years Later.......2007-07-09

Incredibly, Dark Side Of The Moon, by Pink Floyd, was released almost 35 years ago. The amazing thing is that this excellent CD is still important and relevant today. I can listen to Us and Them over and over again. The hypnotic perfection of this CD is amazing. Most bands would love to have a collection of greatest hits that would rival this one album by this incredible band. If you have not heard this, you are in for a treat. A Five star masterpiece.

The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right. "Hey You," "Mother," and especially "Comfortably Numb" are subtle, incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them slowly; this kind of pacing was something Pink Floyd excelled at. Also worth noting is the "Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives" medley, which has become a staple of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams

A DARK PERSONAL JOURNEY FOR SOME .......2007-07-26

SIMPLY STATED:Magnum Opus with a beautiful dose of David Gilmour


There are some really terrific reviews here already, but I couldn't resist adding my two cents. As others have stated, THE WALL is a polarizing album -- people tend to love it or hate it. I'm one of the ones who love it. When I was introduced to THE WALL, I was going through some pretty rough times psychologically and my misery needed some company. I bought the double album and rented the movie from my local video store. I watched the movie first. I really think that this helped me to be able to grasp the narrative.

The music is somewhat dark, but not inaccessibly morose. Anyone who has ever experienced periods of melancholy should be able to tap into these feelings when listening. It is not an easy listen though. In order to fully appreciate the work, it is best to actively listen, preferably while blocking out other senses and thoughts (i.e., in a darkened room without distractions). I also find that it is impossible to share with others. If the co-listener is not a fan, it is embarrassing to listen to. It makes one feel exposed, uncomfortably naked. If the other participant is a fan, however, the experience is akin to the parallel play observed in toddlers. They are playing alongside each other, but they are not truly interacting.

Although the music is subordinate to the narrative, there are some truly sublime musical moments. The song "Comfortably Numb" is my favorite song of all time. If I can let myself relax, it transports me to another realm everytime I listen to it. The high-pitched ding heard during the chorus focuses my attention and makes me feel as though I am floating on air. Other standouts are "Hey You," "Mother," and "Run Like Hell." Each is beautiful in its own way. "Hey You" is haunting both lyrically and musically. "Mother" is both stark and soothing. I love the back and forth between Waters and Gilmour (as in "Comfortably Numb"). "Run Like Hell" sets strong anti-fascism lyrics to a killer dance beat.

If you are psychologically-inclined, you will love THE WALL. Listen to it when you have the time, alone and in the dark. It just might transform you.

Pink Floyd Under Construction.......2007-07-24

What else can be said about this album. I was ten when "Another Brick in the Wall" hit the charts. This was one of the first albums I ever owned. Went through a cassette, two copies on vinyl and this was my first CD I purchased in the late 80s when CDs hit the market. Absorbed the movie (the movie box covers became my notebook cover in high school) and everything Pink Floyd I could. It was the defining album of my youth, Waters capturing that anguish and angst of maturing in a cynical world.

I grew out of it over time and it has become something of a memory machine, revisiting the past and the intensity of that time as I sought meaning in life. It has no relevance on that level anymore.

However, I stumbled across "Pink Floyd: Under Construction" which contains demos of the process by which The Wall came to be. Apparently, Waters, in the late 70s, came to the band with ideas for The Wall and what would become The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. The band thought the material for The Wall had potential and began to build on it (though there are traces of The Wall material in the Hitchhiking album or vice versa).

Though for the most part it is the same album, there are some subtle and significant differences in the songs as we know them, mostly in the lyrics.

Comfortably Numb originally began for Gilmour's first solo album but made its way into The Wall. Gilmour brings the melody; Waters adds the lyrics. However, imagine these lyrics in "Comfortably Numb":

"Wake up now, pull yourself togeather
Get out and meet new people (Scream)
I'm sure they'll understand
Come on, put away the shotgun,
Here have another blue one(Scream)
Have your fingertips gone numb?"

Or these for "Mother":

"Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna burn all your pornography
She'll watch what you see and watch what you hear..."

It's fascinating to listen to these demos after knowing the album so well. It's as if I'm hearing it for the first time and it is mind blowing this time from a more historical, archival point of view rather than as music that defines my emotional life.

You'll find the song What Shall We Do Now? in the film but not on the album, though the lyrics are on the inner sleeve of the original album. The song is on the Under Construction disc. Young Lust is just an instrumental. This is a fan's dream. It's like being there as the creative process unfolds and you can see the roll Bob Ezrin played in bringing this to its finished form that we all know.

Hunt down a copy of Under Construction and really, really appreciate just how amazing this album really is.

You can also get hints of Roger Waters taking control of the direction of the sound and how it would culminate with Floyd in The Final Cut, the trajectory Waters taking climaxing with The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (also very recommended).

The Wall ,,,,,,Nuf Said.......2007-07-15

What is there that I could possibly write that hasn't been written before about perhaps one of the greatest concept albums ever? (Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" being the other....yes, Genesis actually existed before Phil Collins took over vocals when the genius behind the band, Peter Gabriel, departed...but I digress) The only bon mot I could add is the fact that after all these years, "The Wall" still succeeds in captivating listeners. I introduced my 6 year old daughter to the cd first, then the movie...she is now a huge fan of not only "The Wall" but earlier Floyd stuff as well.

Waters dominated effort hurtling toward a dark and dreary place.......2007-07-12

My first exposure to the Floyd was in '73 (DSOTM)- Problem is, DSOTM set the bar so high that every subsequent Waters effort work became narrower in scope...so with The Wall we are no longer conteplating the life's looming questions but rather seeing the world from the inside out of an individual, isolated, bitter, musician. It doesn't leave much room for personal interpretation.

That being said, there are enjoyable musical moments on this work. As others have noted, The Wall, is colored to a much greater extent by the personality of Roger as his works became lyrically denser at the expense of the fine instrumental passages of the earlier works. There are also songs that you simply want to skip (thank goodness for CDs). Some songs, such as "Comfortably Numb", have personally become more meaningful due to circumstances occuring in my life (my dad was in a coma). So, I wouldn't dismiss the entire work as rubbish...just be prepared for a Pink Floyd on steriods/cocaine (seems the Lysergic had declined in popularity).

Great Album.......2007-07-11

That first review pretty much sums up the whole "The Wall" album. there's not much I can add except just this is a slow paced but enjoyable musical experince. This is well worth getting and is actually my first Pink Floyd CD, and is a good introduction to them. I highly recommend it to people who like classic rock as the music is very soft played, so no head thrashing.

Amazon.com Essential Recording

Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ("By the way, which one's Pink?"), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too--with David Gilmour getting lots of space for his most lyrical guitar playing ever. And, though the album is big and ambitious, even bombastic, it somehow dodges being pretentious--the Barrett tributes are honest and heartfelt, beneath all the grand gestures and stereophonic trickery. --Douglas Wolk

Good album.......2007-07-29

"Wish You Were Here" is a good album and a definite need-to-have for any serious Floyd fan. The timeless title track is here, the famed two-part rock-extravaganza "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is here, as is the vitriolic "Welcome To The Machine" and the sardonic "Have A Cigar" (my personal favorite from this album). A good listen and a decent follow up to "Dark Side Of The Moon." So why do I only give it three stars?

Well, in comparison to the other music being released in 1975, this album should have five stars. But in comparison to the other albums released by Pink Floyd before and after this one, it really isn't so strong. It would have been absolutely staggering if Floyd had topped "Dark Side" with this release, but they didn't, and who can blame them? There really isn't much new here on this album that we hadn't heard before from Floyd, and while the songs are good, the album as a whole is somewhat of a let-down. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" gets too long, in my opinion, and the three smaller tracks in the middle are so different from each other that it breaks up the flow of the album. This is one case where the parts are better than the whole (whereas "Dark Side" was sort of the opposite).

I think that "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Animals" (the album released after "Wish You Were Here") are both more cohesive albums that explore new territory for the band both musically and lyrically, while "Wish You Were Here" is sort of a loosely-linked collection of songs that serve as a buffer between "Dark Side" and the next album, offering nothing that we hadn't heard before.

So while I have sort of put this album down, it is very well written, and worth having if you're a Pink Floyd fan. I would not recommend buying this album if you've never heard Floyd before, or if you've only heard "Dark Side" or "The Wall." To sum it up, here's a little rhyme I just came up with: this is an album best enjoyed once you've become well aquainted with Pink Floyd.

One of the many reasons I love Pink Floyd.......2007-06-13

For Pink Floyd, making a follow up album to 'Dark Side of the Moon' must have seemed an extremely daunting task. However with 'Wish You Were Here' they succeeded admirably. In his biography of the band, Nick Mason stated that they wanted to avoid simply making a sequel to the hugely successful predecessor and that they wanted to start afresh in a new musical direction. This decision resulted in a creation of true musical beauty.

The long, ambling and elegant opening track 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' was a new step even for Floyd. Both parts of this track have a relaxed yet compelling beauty that puts it right up there with the best the band has produced.

After the ethereal beauty of the opening track, the following two bring a far more sombre mood to proceedings. 'Welcome to the Machine' is a disgruntled sideswipe at the human condition which is somewhat reminiscent in lyrical content, of the track 'Time' on 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Hot on the heels of this is 'Have A Cigar', a pessimistic jibe at the music industry creeps that came out of the woodwork after their sudden shot to international success. Although these two tracks are far more downbeat, they are executed with a Floydian bite that makes them quality tracks.

Along with 'The Wall' and 'Dark Side of the Moon', this was one of the albums that defined Floyd and simply demands to be listened to.

Worthwhile.......2007-06-10

This is a good, but not a great album. Welcome to the Machine, Wish You Were Here, and Have a Cigar are all classic cuts and never get old. The Syd Barrett tribute songs Shine on You Crazy Diamond are a little weaker. Over all it's worth a tumble, but it's no Dark Side Of The Moon.

An Absolute Must.......2007-05-29

Probably the best Floyd CD. I had an earlier (non-digitally remastered) version of this album and found that this version is really a treat in comparison. As far as the music itself, every track is a classic and a must for any classic rock fan. If you don't own a good version this album, you need look no further.

Wish it was a little less drab.......2007-05-27

So Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" is probably considered their third greatest album in the normal consensus behind Dark Side and The Wall. It's not "Animals" and "Obscured by Clouds" are better than this album but this one is still a fine one despite being only five songs long.

This one starts out with a classic of a song in Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Beautiful, epic, pick your favorite cliche and use it here because this song has it all, even a saxophone solo at the end. It is later reprised at the end of the album this the first one is far superior. This song along with Wish You Were Here were written for former frontman Syd Barrett who even visited them in the studio during the recording, small world isn't it. Speaking of the title track it is an amazing song. But one thing it does that I love is that it is simple. Accoustic guitar with some great lyrics provides a nice sendoff to Mr. Barrett.

The one problem this album has is the two music industry rants from Roger Waters. "Welcome to the Machine" is atrocious and overlong. "Have A Cigar" is better but it's not even sung by a member of Pink Floyd.

Other than the rants this is a fine album. And for once a Pink Floyd album that seems to express hope, nostalgia and something more than just being depressed which is always a nice change of pace.

Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, Roger Waters condemns the avarice and inequalities of capitalism, metaphorically and musically grouping humans as pigs, dogs, and sheep. The pigs are self-righteous hypocrites inflicting their beliefs on everyone else, the dogs greedy money-grabbers, and the sheep witless followers. Dark, cynical, and brilliantly composed, Animals is an ingenious and under-acknowledged album. --Naomi Gesinger

Customer Reviews:

this is about the music, not the politics.......2007-06-15

politically, Roger Waters is a total idiot, but as a musician, he's awesome....this album is simply about the best rock piece ever....I read this more about (despite whatever Waters' intentions) as commentary about Man, not capitalism....aftyer all, capitalism is NOT an "ism", it is what Man would naturally do without any State apparatus lording over it with the threat of force. a real treat, but not something for a party, or dancing....which is a good thing.

Gilmour's Finest Hour.......2007-06-15

It could be said of most of Pink Floyd's recorded ouevre that it is something of an acquired taste. And the effort of acquiring the taste is made harder still by the subtleties of their music. That is, a Pink Floyd album will not disclose all of its facets to the listener at once. Rather, a certain amount of dedication, repeated careful review, is required to "see the whole", as it were.

This is probably truer of "Animals" than it is of any of their other work. "Animals", to begin with, lacks the lush, atmospheric Leslie-treated pianos and spacey guitars of "Meddle", or the warping, bubbling, synth-work and studio sleight-of-hand of "Dark Side" or "Wish." "Atom Heart Mother" and "The Wall" were recorded with full orchestras to assist in particularly emotional moments. Whether the orchestral experimentation of "Atom Heart Mother" and "The Wall" were successful is another question, altogether.

"Animals," then, is more of a straight-up rock and roll record than the other Floyd albums. It was basically written "on the fly," during the band's tours in support of "Wish" through '75-76. Although this is documented in interviews with Messrs. Gilmour and Water themselves, the fact could be confirmed from listening to live outings of songs from "Animals" -- they sound just like the studio versions, almost as though they were written with live, rather than studio, performance in mind. There are very little in the way of doubled instrumental parts or voices (some acoustic guitar parts are overdubbed in "Pigs", I believe, but other than that, the whole thing is basically just the four players and their voices).

The values have changed slightly, to, from a musical perspective. Gone are Gilmour and Wright's airy harmonizations from "Dark Side" and "Meddle", to be replaced by the throatier growling and ranting of Roger Waters, who sings almost the entirety of the album's lyrics. Gilmour sings the very beginning of "Dogs" ("You've gotta have a real need/Gotta sleep on your toes").

And the instrumental sound, or the approach, perhaps, has changed as well. Here, the guitar-playing of Gilmour takes on a decidedly more aggressive, charged, attitude. Witness, for example, the ragged outbursts between the first few verses of "Dogs"; Gilmour, although always capable of emotional depth, rarely chooses to depict raw anger in his solos.

The angriest moment comes at the finish of "Pigs." The song, which has built up nice bit of rhythmic tension with its half-time feel and the suggestive in-drawn breaths from Roger Waters in the final verse, suddenly lets loose with Gilmour's cataclysmic outro-solo.

The solo starts with the same note repeated almost a dozen times, picked hard (much harder than Gilmour's usually genteel touch), beat to within an inch of its life. He moves up the neck into stratospheric territory, then, in a musical gesture recalling Milton's description of Satan's defeat ("Hurled headlong flaming from th' ethereal sky/With hideous ruin and combustion down"), plummets back down with a series of triplets that return almost all the way to first position.

The intensity builds back up, until Gilmour finds a rapid-fire sixteenth-note triplet arpgeggio near the top of the neck and rides it out through the fade. This is not the beautiful, sensitive Gilmour we know from "Wish You Were Here," or "On the Turning Away." It is another personality altogether, but one capable of searing intensity.

Perhaps, in the final analysis, Gilmour's mastery is demonstrated by the fact that -- knowing that he could solo in the white-hot vein of an Eric Clapton or Robin Trower, say -- he chooses not to do so all of the time. The rareness of such an outburst -- I could almost say its uniqueness, but for the slightly less brillant solo of a similar emotional tenor at the end of "Comfortably Numb" -- is part of what makes it great.

Gilmour never quite equaled this moment at the end of "Pigs" in any of his subsequent outings. While "Comfortably Numb" is comparable, it does not quite echo the rawness of tone here. Also of note is some of the playing on his first solo album of 1977, "David Gilmour" (although there the emotional content seems to be more "woe" or "tragedy").

Furthermore, these are Waters's best lyrics -- they are by turns creepy, funny (some of the double-entendre in "Pigs On The Wing"), and accurate (the spot-on businessman psychoanalysis of "Dogs").

I first got "Animals" way back in 1996. Being a major Floyd fan, I instantly fell in love with the exquisite lyrics and fantastic music. Eleven years later, being a bit older and a lot wiser, I see "Animals" as a piece of social commentary which is still relevant to this day.

I see the "Dogs" as the jackbooted "Waffen-SS-like" thugs that most soldiers and police officers have become in this day of encroaching tyranny. Have you noticed how increasingly militarized LEOs (law enforcement officers) have become? Have you noticed how thuggish the United States military has acted under not only the command of George W. Bush, but even under Bill Clinton?

I see the "Pigs" as the ones in power, the ones who ultimately call the shots in the world. I see the first group of pigs as the big central bankers (Rockefellers, Rothschilds, etc.) and corporate bigwigs (Ted Turner, Michael Eisner, etc.) who control the power through their fortunes in corporate neo-fascist fashion. I see the second group of pigs as the puppet politicians who are put in the government to give everybody the false assumption that they have a choice when it comes to elections (Republican and Democrat are basically one and the same). Finally, I see the third group of pigs as pro-censorship people such as Mary Whitehouse, Jack Thompson, Brent Bozell, and to some extent social commentators such as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and Michael Savage who have frequently called for the American government to impose virtually total tyranny.

I see the sheep as the willfully ignorant "be a follower, not a leader" masses that most everybody has become thanks to them being dumbed down by mainstream media, propaganda masquerading as news, and even violent entertainment. Have you noticed how people care more about "American Idol" than they do about their freedoms? Have you noticed how people care more about Britney Spears not wearing underwear than encroaching tyranny? Ultimately, the end of the song sees the sheeple being pushed too far, so they rebel against the dogs, but little do the sheeple know that the dogs are seen by the pigs as "expdendable" because the pigs are the ones who hold the power. In the end, the pigs remain in power, and soon they will have more jackbooted enforcers to enslave the sheep once again.

The issues that Waters covered in the album's original 1977 release still hold true 30 years later. "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

Animals Exposes Humanity In All Its Ugliness And Carnality.......2007-05-23

Animals by Pink Floyd exposes the carnal, materialistic side of humankind in all its ugliness. The album divides people into three groups: dogs, pigs, and sheep. The dogs signify people, especially those of low or middle social or economic status, who are so ambitious and competitive that they will step on other people's toes to get to the top of the social or corporate ladder. The pigs signify people, especially big-business tycoons or greedy politicians, who take advantage of people of lower social or economic status in order to advance their own commercial or political empires. The sheep are people of ordinary social status who blindly obey whatever society tells them to do even if they know it will compromise their moral or religious principles. At this point, Roger Waters was exerting greater control in the band and this caused hostility among the band members, particularly among keyboardist Richard Wright. The band began to feel more separated from its fans due to them playing in large venues such as football stadiums. The famous pig balloon that has become a staple in their concerts started here. Pink Floyd have never shied away from the hard realities of the human condition by creating a magical wonderland full of joy, peace, and harmony. They have never created a utopia in their work and probably never will. That's why their albums are so influential and continue to sell to this very day. Their music is objective not subjective. This is life as it actually is, not what we would like it to be, according to Pink Floyd.

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

I only own two Pink Floyd CDs. This and Delicate Sound of Thunder. No Music collection is complete without this CD.

A Darker Side of Pink Floyd.......2007-07-21

The Dark side of the Moon is possibly Pink Floyd's best and most popularly acclaimed recording, it is indeed a "classic album". With the smooth vocals of Roger Waters and the lead guitar work of David Gilmour it is a classic of progressive-rock that is indeed a profound experience to listen to. Released in 1973 it was an immediate hit with the hippies still around in the early seventies, with its post psychedelic soundscape. It is darker and more brooding in tone than the earlier Syd Barrett led (who had a mental breakdown due to taking too many acid trips) era Floyd and is indeed an album to immerse one's self in. The more one listens to Dark Side the more one starts to appreciate what a revolutionary album it was for its time, it has inspired generations with its melodious music and enigmatic lyrics.

With its complicated sound structures and beautiful mixing The Dark Side of The Moon begs to be listened to again and again... and again. As one of my favorite rock albums of all time I would certainly put Pink Floyd in the pantheon of "rock gods" along with The Doors, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin amongst other 1960s and 1970s bands. The Dark Side of the Moon was produced in an era when rock bands had more room to express their creativity and more room for improvisation and experimentation than today. The big music companies did not have as much of a commercial strangle hold on the creative process back then as they do these days with their desire to use bands as a vehicle only for making money and sales. Bands in the 60s and 70s where more radical, and non conformist and they would not easily toe the line set by big business executives. Rock 'n' roll has I'm sorry to say been co-opted and commercialized to such an extent in the age of trashy TV shows like MTV, Australian or American Idol that I fear it can't be saved, not to say that there aren't some cool modern bands out there making the music they want to. Much of the music of this early era hasn't dated and is timeless and wonderful to hear and listen to. If you're going to start collecting the Pink Floyd albums I suggest you start with The Dark side of the Moon followed by Wish You Were Here, Meddle and The Wall. They are all available in re-mastered editions and Dark Side of the Moon has been put into the SACD format, so the clarity is amazing. Lose yourself!!!

5+ STAR SACD, 2 star CD.......2007-07-18

The SACD stereo and 5.1 surround versions of Dark Side of the Moon are the only way currently available to experience this album as Pink Floyd intended it to be heard. If you don't have an SACD player or a DVD player that plays SACDs and don't intend to buy one, don't buy this album. The regular CD version sounds better. The CD layer on this is too compressed and too loud and might be OK in a noisy car with the windows open, but forget about it on even a low quality home system. I say this as someone who loves Dark Side of the Moon.

I have thought that Dark Side of the Moon is one of the finest albums ever made for over 30 years. I have 2 copies of the British SQ Quad version, an unopened backup and a copy I play on rare occasions. I also have one opened and 2 still-sealed Stereo LP pressings. All 5 of these are British Harvest pressings circa 1977. I also have an opened and a sealed Mobile Fidelity LP pressing, and my original American Capital pressing. In my opinion the late 70s British Stereo pressings beat all comers. The MFSL is crisper and has more detail but, fatally, less atmosphere. But it is a good second choice and occasionally a good alternate listen. The British Quad pressing has cleaner, quieter surfaces than the American Capital and is clearly a different (but inferior) mix, which makes for an interesting alternate listen on a rare occasion, but the sound quality and mix are actually better on the American Capital. If you are listening for sound quality, the SQ is a poor fourth among these 4 versions. If you want quad or surround, any of the other 3 played through Dynaquad or Dolby Surround some other ambiance recovery arrangement gives a much more satisfying experience. My comments on British pressings are limited to late 1970s pressings. I say this because I picked up a British stereo pressing of Wish You Were Here about 1986 and it sounds muffled compared to my Japanese stereo and British Quad pressings from the 70s, so I wouldn't vouch for later British pressings, though it is possible they may be satisfactory on Dark Side. The British Quad pressing of Wish You Were Here stands with the British Stereo pressing of Dark Side in terms of sound quality and quality of listening experience. The mix is different from and superior to the stereo version of Wish You Were Here, whether played back in stereo or in quad (and I wish Sony would release it on SACD).

Because my LPs sounded so good I never bothered to get CD versions of most of Pink Floyd, though I did pick up the Mobile Fidelity Gold CD of Dark Side, and later the Doug Sax remastered CD Box set, Shine On, which includes many but not all of the albums. I occasionally listen to some of them but mostly I still listen to the vinyl versions. Except...

The SACD. In addition to the lousy sounding CD layer, you have 2 choices on the SACD layer, Stereo, or a new 5.1 channel mix from the original multi-track analog masters. Earlier I said that late 70s British Stereo LP pressings beat all comers. Let me qualify that. The stereo SACD version equals it. It is very difficult to hear any difference between my always carefully played 1977 British Stereo pressing and the SACD stereo tracks (except there is some very slight surface noise on the LP--but it is not yet objectionable enough to make me break the seal on one of my other copies). Old British stereo pressings are basically going to be impossible to find. This is a worthy substitute. There is also the new 5.1 channel mix. If you like surround sound you'll love this. I love surround sound and listen to most stereo sources with Dynaquad passive ambiance recovery. This new surround mix is about equal to the stereo mix but different, exchanging a little more clarity for a little less of the mysterious. It is a worthy alternative (unlike the old SQ version). I listen to both.

So buy this SACD while it is still available if you like this music. If you don't have an SACD player, don't listen to it yet. But get yourself one of the universal DVD players that plays SACD (and DVD-A, too, preferably) and you are in for a treat. And some of the dedicated SACD players sound even better. Let me repeat: the SACD stereo and 5.1 surround versions of Dark Side of the Moon are the only way currently available to experience this album as Pink Floyd intended it to be heard.

Fantastic.......2007-07-09

Incredibly, Dark Side Of The Moon, by Pink Floyd, was released almost 35 years ago. The amazing thing is that this excellent CD is still important and relevant today. I can listen to Us and Them over and over again. The hypnotic perfection of this CD is amazing. Most bands would love to have a collection of greatest hits that would rival this one album by this incredible band. If you have not heard this, you are in for a treat. A Five star masterpiece.

For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle's opener, "One of These Days," Pink Floyd really weren't about to "cut you into little pieces." Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. It also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised--that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspired space explorations, and a patchwork approach to colliding sounds that together took on acid-drenched proportions. And if all that isn't enough, "San Tropez" revealed a playful side of the band, playing footsy with loungy jazz and having good fun in the process. --Andrew Bartlett

Meddle.......2007-07-07

Pink Floyd's "Meddle" is a classic Rock album, not by the worn-out standards of what one might conjure up, as being 'trademark' perhaps 'wrapped in flames' of 'greatness'. Yet it is because "Meddle" Breaks the 'standards of greatness' with it's ingenuity and creativity, especially considered within the age and times it was written. Heavy-metal was on the verge of becoming 'King' of Radio, Circuit Concerts, and Album Sales. Groups from Grand Funk Railroad, BloodRock, Atomic Rooster, Led Zepplin, and Artists coming into their own Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, Alvin Lee, all were producing themselves as Rock Icons, if not Legends because of finding a unique Niche into the Listener's ever growing list of preferences. Yet "Meddle" stands out in its own uniqueness because of several different styles of music being integrated and merged. The album moves from the Blues 'Shamus' cannine assisted, to the real-life ballards done with amazing diverse instrumentation, and finally progresses into the in-comparable ozone production of Rock-heavy imagery interspersed between layers of electric variations alluring visions of pre-historic travel dodging the Pteradactals through the mist, while being enticed into the sounds of ducks on a foggy pond, and finishes with the crescendo of signature "Floyd" guitar climax. "Meddle" is a compilation of superb creative variations of songs not obviously connected by theme, melody or structure, but there is an un-deniable thread of "Floyd" DNA which creates this project as one which is very unique even within the repertoire of Pink FLoyd. It precludes "Dark side of moon", and "Animals" with somewhat of a premonition of the greatness there, not by an easily placed clue of song patterns, but by the undercurrent progession genius. An album which seems to emulate "Meddle", was "Arc of a Diver" by Steve Winwood, another genius of diverse progression himself. Listen to them and see if they arent complimentary.

I like it better now.......2007-06-28

Back in the days of vinyl I loved echoes but hadn't really connected with side one. Too acoustic. Too silly. And except for track one, too mellow. Now decades later I'm rediscovering Meddle. It's a lot better than I remember. Tuneful and melodious. Varied and interesting. Highly recommended here not for its role in the Pink Floyd cannon, but rather for the lasting quality of its songs.

worth a listen for any Floyd fan.......2007-06-27

This won't be confused with Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall, but this early effort shows Floyd growing into the musical geniuses they became.
"One of these days" remains a Floyd classic, and "Echoes" becomes better and better with each listen.

Better than Dark Side.......2007-06-27

A great work. New release is remastered well.
Climax in "Echoes" never fails to send chills
down the spine. Every cut is good.

A Floyd Primer.......2007-06-09

Heard this as a young man when it was new, and having heard the previous recordings from the 60's, knew this was a departure. "Echoes" filled one side of the vinyl album and it was instantly a signature song for youthful psychedelic experiences. I now look back and find "Fearless" my fav Floyd song but that the overall feel is a precursor for just about everything they produced afterward, especially the "Dark Side of The Moon". If you like all things Pink Floyd, you should have this. It is sooo different from their first 4 albums though. Most early fans would say Roger Waters took them into the large mainstream market for rock in the day. A tragedy ? Hardly.

Echoes is a double-CD collection of some of Pink Floyd's best songs. It's also a fascinating document of the band's history. They began life as Syd Barrett's phantasmagoric plaything before clasping the wings of Icarus and ascending toward the sun on an epic space-rock odyssey, eventually turning left once they reached the dark side of the moon and burning up on reentry, crash-landing on every earthlings' home hi-fi. And it's all here--30 years of the Floyd's awesome back catalog trimmed down to two handsome CDs. It's worth remembering that, despite a fondness for pyrotechnics, Pink Floyd were never a prog-rock band. Sure, some of their songs are a bit long, and they never released singles (at least not for 11 years), but the same could be said for Led Zeppelin. Clinically devoid of the faux-classical overtures and vainglorious musicianship of that era, Pink Floyd were a pole apart; Meddle's epic maritime tone poem "Echoes" remains the Floyd's apogee. But here, on this collection, "the albatross" which "hangs motionless upon the air" has had its wings clipped--seven full minutes are missing, but you'd never be able to tell. The sonar bleeps, the screeching seagulls, the howling winds are all retained, and whoever wielded the editorial axe, Eugene, did so carefully.

Interestingly, the album's nonchronological track listing works--the summery, childhood enchantment of "See Emily Play" is right next to the school discipline of "Happiest Days of Our Lives"--and at least this way no one will switch off when material from A Momentary Lapse of Reason comes around. Despite the curious omission of "Atom Heart Mother," this really is the very best of the Floyd--from the throbbing "One of These Days" to the pop operatic "Great Gig in the Sky" to the genius silvery fluidity of Dave Gilmour's guitar work. This is timeless, as many members of Sigur Rós, Radiohead, and the Beta Band will attest. --Kevin Maidment

Floyd Fever.......2007-07-20

This two disc Floyd compilation is a great buy. It's an excellent overview of Floyd's hits, showcasing their weird but intriguing sounds and lyrics. This collection is particularly good for people who like Floyd, but aren't such hard-core fans as to have all of the individual albums. The obvious hits from the radio [Brick in the Wall, Hey You, Money, Learning to Fly] are here, as well as lesser-played but still great stuff, like Arnold Layne and Fletcher Memorial Home, and when the Tigers Broke Free, which is a heartfelt reflection on losing a father to war.

If you only could have ONE Pink Floyd Disc, this is the one........2007-07-02

Most would think that would be DSOTM. It's a close call. But, since this set has most of the best cuts from DSOTM, and the best cuts from every other release, this would be my choice.

Disc 2 of this set has been my bedtime CD for over a year now.

Only two comments. I could do without "Bike". That song just creeps me out, especially the freaky noise at the very end.

Secondly, I'm disappointed that they cut Gilmours Blues solo in SOYCD.

I still give it 5 stars though.

EDIT: BTW... If you are a guitar player, there is what is probably one of the best TAB books ever produced for this album. It covers every song, exactly, and has every Gilmour solo.

Not the very best of Floyd.......2007-06-19

Even though this is supposed to be the "Best" of Pink Floyd I would beg to differ. Right now I have a list in front of me of Pink floyd songs that were unjustly omitted. On the other hand, there are a handful of songs here- mainly in Floyd's later years- that are mediocre at best and have no business being on this album. It's still a sure bet for die-hard Floyd fans, however. The best Floyd albums are The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish you were Here.

Great Introduction to Pink Floyd.......2007-06-11

Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd, is a great introduction to this classic ahead of its time rock group. For those of you not born in the 50's or 60's that could have enjoyed the classic Dark Side of the Moon during its release, this is a tremendous way to find out what all of the fuss was/is about. I am certain that this great CD set will inspire people to purchase much of the Pink Floyd collection, especially some of the bigger hits like The Wall and Dark Side. Many of these songs are simply haunting, while others prove to show how versatile this super group has been over the years. An outstanding value. 5 Stars!

If you're gonna side-step the actual albums and simply dip into a compilation of this seminal band, then this is a safe bet for a solid primer. This collection is substantive, richly entertaining and demonstrates the enduring appeal of one extraordinary band.

Amazon.com essential recordings

Music from Big Pink stands as one of those rare albums that turned the rock world on its axis. On this record, released in 1968 at the height of the psychedelic revolution, the five members of the Band (along with producer-sideman John Simon) eschewed spacey diversions, opting for an earthier route. Soon enough, wah-wah pedals and tape loops were making way for fiddles and mandolins. The group's most democratic effort (Robbie Robertson would soon emerge as the ensemble's mouthpiece), the debut's 11 songs come from Robertson, bassist Rick Danko, and pianist Richard Manuel, who contributes two songs and cowrote the doleful opener, "Tears of Rage," with Bob Dylan. Manuel's role would diminish from this point hence and the balance he brought to the quintet would be missed. Many would argue that Big Pink's sequel, The Band, represents their crowning achievement. The truth is, Big Pink is the purest distillation of the Band, and their preeminent recording. This remastered reissue is generously expanded to include nine bonus tracks, a bunch highlighted by a Robertson rarity ("Ferdinand the Imposter") and a cover of the Stanley Brothers's "If I Lose." --Steven Stolder

Customer Reviews:

She's stoned said the Suede and the moon calf agreed!!.......2007-04-08

Music from Big Pink was one of the first albums I bought as a teenager in the late 60s. It came at a time in my life when I was discovering the world around me, becoming conscious of social issues and discovering who I was.

The music touched my soul and gave life meaning and wonder at a time so much was uncertain. I still listen to the album on occasion and it remains astounding in it's simplicity, beauty and imagery. My favorite album of all time.

Nice first effort.......2007-04-07

Okay, so the self-titled second completely blows this away, but this is still one of The Band's better albums - I've only heard three, so I'm not much of a judge of it. Still, this is an enjoyably rootsy affair. Of course it's got The Weight, a landmark '60's tune with interesting, oft-analyzed lyrics, a well-known chorus, a cool descending bassline, AND great traded lead vocals between Levon Helm, Richard Manuel (whose voice gives me the chills) and Rick Danko. The perfect song. Same with Chest Fever, which is pretty funky - sorta reminds me of Up on Cripple Creek from the next record. And have you heard how many times that organ riff's been imitated? Seriously, it's almost become a cliche now.
Of course, The Band will always be linked to Dylan, and three of these songs were written or cowritten by him. I like - no, LOVE - Tears of Rage, prototypical enigmatic Dylan. Same with I Shall Be Released, which Dylan later recorded himself and admittedly did a better job on because he wisely got that stupid high-pitched synthesizer/organ/whatever-thing out of there. But I love Manuel's vocals on the song, so I can't complain too much. This Wheel's on Fire was Dylan's third contribution, and again it's funky, with a clavinet-sounding keyboard. Probably the weakest of his additions, but still, a good tune.
As I said, Manuel's vocals give me the chills, especially on Lonesome Suzie. Admittedly, the lyrics aren't among Robbie Robertson's best. But Manuel almost brings me to tears when he sings it. No joke. It's a hard song to listen to because of that, but I like it just the same.
Long Black Veil is the most fun you'll find here, an old folk song from BEYOND THE GRAAAAAAAVE with Ultimate Multi-Instrumentalist Garth Hudson adding what sounds like a tuba. A nice, uptempo, swinging song, one of the more underrated ones here.
So far it seems like it should be a five-star, but I can't get into some of this. Like To Kingdom Come, In a Station and Candelonia Mission. I just skip right over 'em. Really boring songs with weak lyrics. And while We Can Talk has fun traded vocals, I can't see much reason to listen to it outside of that. That's just me, though.
Though the next outing was an absolute five-star masterpiece that likely tops everything else The Band ever did (as I've said, I only know three of their albums: this, self-titled and Stage Fright, plus I've got that one-disc Best of the Band), this is an effecient warm-up to that album and recommended to fans of '60's rock, especially roots-rock. If you like this sound, I also recommend Creedence Clearwater Revival and the Stones' stuff from '68 to '72.
The bonus tracks are kind of wastes... I like Yazoo Street Scandal, it should've made the original album, and their version of Key to the Highway is good enough (partially because no-one can make that song bad, really), but most are poorly-written and recorded (Orange Juice Blues, Katie's Been Gone, Ferndidad the Imposter, etc).

Essential.......2007-04-01

One of the greats, absolute must have. Also needed to accompany this is Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" and "The Basement Tapes". Beside these 3 albums the rest seems no more than background noise. Songwriting, singing, musicianship par excellence, how come it has gone so far down in the USA since this? Maybe because these musicians were from Canada in the first place?

PS some of the best tracks on this CD IMHO are those missing from original vinyl - "Yazoo Street Scandal", "Katie's Been Gone", "Long Distance Operator", "Orange Juice Blues" - so even if you have the original vinyl, lucky person, you need this CD too :)

Music from Who Knows Where.......2007-03-29

It was always a close call whether this or the Band's 2nd album was their classic. This reissue and expansion presses the question to the point of impossible resolution. Not only do the outtakes enrich the release, but the remastering clearly improves the sound quality, making it much more dimensional and uncannily clear.

Time has also made it easier to assess this breakout album. It is still unclassifiable in the rock pantheon in which it finds itself. These are guys who went everywhere, heard everything, and play an incredible assortment of instruments well. They came of age when rock combos filled the juke joints and honky tonks, so yeah, you will find their work in the rock bin. In another era it might have been in the country bin, or the folk bin. At times, it sounds like each -- when it doesn't sound like old time carnival music, soul music, church music, even classical music.

For the genesis of this music is deeper than any of these categories. It goes as far back as the first European settlers on the continent; for the ultimate take on this subject consult Greil Marcus' Mystery Train and his essay inside The Basement Tapes. Simply, the music here comes from the mine that the oldest bi-racial folk tales such as Stackalee come from, where also you will find major authors such as Faulkner and Twain poaching when they try to give you a take on early times in America. Some of the stories come out like legends or folk tales, coherently told -- like Long Black Veil. All of it is in clearcut root English, but the closer you listen to some of the songs the more mysterious they become -- what are they even talking about, and who? In our era or 100 years ago? 200? All times in between at once? It is music not from "big pink" but from who knows where, and the band members freely trade the lead singer role back and forth as a song progresses, which only deepens both the wonder and the mystery, as if each of them is tossing on a piece of the whole story only they know.

While all this may sound like an academic exercise, it isn't -- The Band's school was the American road and they kept their eyes and ears wide open, playing separately and as sidemen for years, until they came together and made this. Warning: yes, it may be a bit of an acquired taste. But its well worth the effort, and is not only one of the most important rock records ever cut, but on the short list of important American music from century 20.

The Album That Changed Music Forever.......2007-02-28

Eric Clapton in the liner notes of Blind Faith's deluxe edition sums it up when he described this album as having the most significant impact on him "whose versatility and harmonious unity seemed blissfully free of the corrosive intensity which had fueled Cream".
Furthermore, The Band's melodic interplay and the subtle textures created by their exotic instruments whose close association with Bob Dylan only deepened his(Clapton's) fascination. No need to add words BUT all the bonus tracks, Basement Tape versions are grand fully reproduced in these high caliber remasters artwork and all.

Average customer rating: Excellent! they were trying to sound like Pink Floyd Oh, that lapse was more than momentary... Pink Floyd Return With A Vengeance But In Reality A David Gilmour Solo Album In All But Name don't we all occasionally have a momentary lapse of reason?

Though many predicted that Roger Waters's acrimonious split with the band after 1983's aptly named Final Cut would ultimately spell the end of Pink Floyd, the remaining band members confounded pundits by extending their status as classic rock's most ponderous dinosaurs into the 1990s and beyond. And if the title was a gentle jab at Waters after a years-long legal struggle over the Floyd moniker, the music was all too familiar; some would say even formulaic. And lest anyone doubted that the absence of Waters's dour soul would lighten things up a bit, guitarist and post facto leader Dave Gilmour gamely took on the Mantle of Conscience for topics ranging from the cold war ("The Dogs of War") to yuppie self-indulgence ("On the Turning Away"). And if this album sometimes evokes an uncomfortable feeling of a band on autopilot, it's one that can still turn out the likes of the anthemic "Learning to Fly" on cruise control. --Jerry McCulley

Excellent!.......2007-07-04

I don't know why some people didn't like this album. I Love it. The Dog of War pays the whole money!!!!!!!!!

they were trying to sound like Pink Floyd.......2007-06-15

listened to this for the first time in many, many years....they were trying to SOUND LIKE Pink Floyd, but couldn't pass it off without Roger Waters....totally contrived and insincere....eh, Waters may be the biggest jerk in the world (not sure he is), but even if he is, he is one talented jerk....this is pathetic compared to the likes of "Animals", and the rest of their 70s output....these people saying it's equal to previous, Waters-led Floyd are delusional....if you like it, fine, but don't even try to pass it off as legit PF. they lived off the name and legend of Pink Floyd - give them another name like Endless Self-Indulgence and attach this album to it and it would never have even made a major record contract.

Oh, that lapse was more than momentary..........2007-06-14

This is a pathetic attempt for the Roger Waters-less Pink Floyd to carry on without their heart and soul. Roger was self-centered, sure, but his lyrics and bass were both key parts of the Floyd Sound that this album horribly misses. Basically, it's useless. Nostalgiac about the early '70s, back when they would make ungodly amounts of money off of Dark Side of the Moon and such, "three-quarters" Floyd decided they'd try to recreate that sound, using lots of synthesizers, female backing vocals, saxes and studio effects. The resulting album is, far and away, Pink Floyd's nadir.
It's hard for me to tell what the album's lowest low is. I know I hate the mechanical hit Learning to Fly. But that's not all. The Dogs of War was voted as Pink Floyd's worst song ever, and I must say I agree. Basically it's a pathetic attempt to rewrite the classic Dogs - even the titles are similar! Give me a break here, guys! Arguably even worse than that is Signs of Life (which could very well win the "Joe Strummer Most Ironic Title Ever" award), the rather awkward On the Turning Way, and the A New Machine/Terminal Frost/A New Machine suite. I guess the closing Sorrow is okay - good guitar part, processed and mid-'80s as it is, and I like the lyrics just fine, but no way it's a nine-minute song, you know? And is that a DRUM MACHINE I hear?
Momentary Lapse hasn't aged very well, and like the following Division Bell it was a very bad idea. Thankfully, Pink Floyd's '70s output was so good that this will never tarnish their deserved reputation as rock legends. But that doesn't keep it from being arguably PF's worst.

Pink Floyd Return With A Vengeance But In Reality A David Gilmour Solo Album In All But Name.......2007-05-23

Much as The Final Cut was in reality a Roger Waters solo album albeit it had the Pink Floyd name on it, this album is no different in that it is in reality a David Gilmour solo album albeit the cover has the Pink Floyd moniker on it. Gilmour worked hard to preserve the integrity of the band name, but most if not all of the songwriting and music is credited to him. However, this is not to say that the album is bad or lackluster. Although Nick Mason, Richard Wright, and the other musicians play second fiddle here, Gilmour did an excellent job in keeping everybody together with a common focus. There is a change of the guard here, not only in band personnel, but also conceptually as well. The common themes of rebellion, isolation, and materialism have given way to hope for a better world as evidenced in songs such as On The Turning Away. Pessimism has turned to optimism. Learning To Fly is an appreciation of one's environment by indulging in the pleasure of flying an airplane, a favorite pastime of Gilmour's. Without the dictatorial control of Waters, Gilmour could focus on more positive topics. The Dogs Of War says that sometimes war is necessary in order to maintain a just society as opposed to a condemnation of all war as was the case in The Final Cut album. Gilmour and company launched a massive and successful world tour soon after the release of this album that stretched all the way to 1989. The pig balloons were back in full force as well as the airplanes disguised as hospital beds crashing into the stage. Some things never change. The album and tour showed that the band's popularity stood the test of time with or without Roger Waters. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason celebrates triumph over adversity.

don't we all occasionally have a momentary lapse of reason?.......2007-05-09

This is one of Pink Floyd's best albums. The songs are all good, and the sound is very 1980's-synthesizery, which I like.

Average customer rating: One of the Best Albums Ever...... excellent There is nothing wrong with this album. It's all in your mind. A good solo album from David Gilmour Not One of the Floyd's Best Efforts

As Roger Waters's solo career set into a sunset of suspiciously self-serving Wall revivals and compelling if modest-selling solo efforts, his former band became one of the few outfits in the soft live market of the 1990s to burnish its stadium-filling appeal. But their recorded output wasn't quite so rosy. As all post-Dark Side of the Moon albums must have a Big Important Theme, The Division Bell is vaguely about levels of separation (did you say, duh!?), with more than one not-so-opaque lyrical jab at the estranged Waters. But there's a sense that the band may have put more thought into its trademark audio gimmickry (well represented here by the actual sound of the earth's crust cracking--you don't get that on Rage Against the Machine albums!--and a "spoken" intro by Dr. Stephen Hawking, or rather his voice synthesizer) than it did into its songs this time around. The opening "Cluster One" has a hypnotic minimalist lure that dissolves all too quickly into the bluesy waffle of "What Do You Want From Me," while Floyd Mach III leader Dave Gilmour's usually lyrical guitar work is uninspired throughout, a definite Floydian slip. Still, the band maddeningly manages a few moments of the old grandeur here and there. The Division Bell is not a great Pink Floyd album, but an all-too-fallible simulation. --Jerry McCulley

One of the Best Albums Ever.............2007-07-28

Enough of these reviews with "Roger Waters" this and "Roger Waters" that. Enough with the, "well it just isn't the same Pink Floyd, it isn't as good as it used to be in the (insert Floyd era here)." Enough of the hate because it's not exactly the same band.

When David Gilmour came to Pink Floyd he added that final element that the band needed to kickstart themselves into super stardom and it shows in The Division Bell. The album starts with two mediocre songs in "Cluster One" and "What Do You Want from Me," with cluster still being a decent song to sit back and relax to. Next comes "Poles Apart" which is the first really good song on the album. It is mellow for the most part but has a nice tune and a good vocal preformance from David. Following this is a 2nd instrumental in "Marooned" which might kind of remind you of the early guitar in "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I-IV." Not as good as Shine but still a good listen. "A Great Day for Freedom" is next which grows on you as does the next song "Wearing the Inside Out" which isn't your normal Floyd but its something different. After these two songs we really get into the heart of the album as the final 5 songs are just amazing. "Take It Back" is a fun upbeat song that really starts to show that the band still has it together and can produce solid songs. After this comes "Coming Back to Life" which is one of the gems of this album. The musical composition is great and the lyrics compliment the song well. Following this is "Keep Talking" which is a really weird song that makes you wonder what Gilmour was on when he wrote it. However, once you get past this you are onto what I believe are two of the best Pink Floyd songs to date. "Lost for Words" is just insane. The music is again amazing with Gilmour's guitar really shining here. And the lyrics. WOW. They are some of my favorite lyrics ever. I consider it to be one of Floyd's best songs. And to think there is still one more song; and quite a song it is. "High Hopes," the final song on the album brings back memories of the old Floyd. A very different yet powerful tune again with some amazing lyrics and music. Another song I'd consider to be one of Floyd's best. It really ends things well.

In all I'd rate this as my 2nd Favorite Pink Floyd album just because of the collection of great songs. If you are truely a fan of Pink Floyd you'd do yourself a favor by getting over your pride for Waters and pick up this album because it holds a lot of good stuff. 5/5

excellent.......2007-06-13

Great companion CD to the Pulse DVD. Must have.

There is nothing wrong with this album. It's all in your mind........2007-04-23

Pink Floyd has always been great "head music". A lot of time had passed by since their high water mark, 1973's Dark Side of the Moon and this album (1994). If it had been released 20 years earlier in 1974, it would have been hailed a masterpiece. I've listened to this album very closely and still found them to be the best purveyors of head music. I can't understand the cynical and disrespectful comments about this album, mostly from folks who weren't even alive when Dark Side came out. Bottom line: If you like Pink Floyd's weird sounds, and surreal soundscapes, you'll love this album. If you're hopping on the latest bandwagon, keep the negativity to yourself and stick to American Idol. Real Pink Floyd fans know "The Division Bell" is really a very good album even without Roger Waters.

A good solo album from David Gilmour.......2007-03-05

I have to agree with many reviewers this time. We are light year away from a true Pink Floyd album, the spirit is not here and the music is quite near to pop sometimes. We have some good tracks hidden in the cd, the best one is "High Hopes", the other interesting cuts are intrumental, "Cluster One" and "Marooned" The other track are just OK but far from memorable composition. "Wearing the inside out" is a real joke.

Not One of the Floyd's Best Efforts.......2007-03-01

This CD brings back memories from my junior high days and is the first Pink Floyd CD that I ever listened to. I do like the album overall, but in relation to their complete body of work this has to rank among their bottom. The only other albums that may be worse are Ummagumma or A Saucerful of Secrets.

But this does contain some great songs. Such as: High Hopes, Wearing the Inside Out, Keep Talking, Coming Back to Life, and Poles Apart. The songwriting and guitar playing could have been better though. Hopefully this isnt their last recording and they will reunite and make one last great album.
