FIRST listen to The Dark side of the moon (does it stand the test of time?) Pink Floyd

[@willkomnath2560]

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.

[@CallMeCaroline]

THIS! it does not sound like it was recorded 50 years ago

[@gerardstephens58]

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.

[@iansimmons735]

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.

[@kjejon1]

Booooring!

[@tommc3622]

​@@kjejon1 It's OK, you'll probably enjoy it more when you grow up.

[@benoitrenaud519]

Could be the best album ever recorded. Hard to overstate how good it is.

[@lucashernandez4345]

Certainly is one of the best albums

[@ivanjulian2532]

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.

[@Coneman3]

Hard to imagine an album as good being released again.

[@lloydymk2013]

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

[@1966Heath]

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.

[@karenglenn6707]

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!

[@Sirala6]

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.

[@bagga3533]

You. Not. Alone.

[@redhorsereincarnated5040]

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.

[@RichardinNC1]

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!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

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..."

[@Kakker71]

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 🙂

[@justmoose6534]

This album was 14 times platinum and on the charts for 981 weeks.

[@CallMeCaroline]

OK that is wild!!

[@moonlitegram]

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.

The magic of this album is listening to it at different stages of your life and finding new profound meanings. Happy listening!

[@RealKingChief]

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.

[@drbassface]

Exactly!

[@thedrudgetick]

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.

[@aperson5062]

Just hearing it now is different than when I first heard it around 1977. Funny story is that I lived in England from 1973-1976 and the manager of Pink Floyd lived a few houses down from my parents. I was like 9-12 years old. It was a private street cul-de-sac and when "then Band" came by the neighbors were wary of the weird hippies. Didn't know anything about them at the time and then like 5 years later, became a huge fan. Life is a journey to the Dark Side of the Moon.

[@EllisThings]

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.

[@tirvine9102]

Yes! Doubly so because she was touched by the Syd Barrett tribute in Dark Side. Wish You Were Here digs deeper on that theme.

[@TTM9691]

I second that emotion. As if an album could be even MOODIER than "Dark Side Of The Moon".

[@instadc]

Wish You Were Here is my favorite of theirs, followed closely by Animals.

[@Mcperson823]

[@abs173]

Definitely one of the best albums ever produced.

[@Trendyflute]

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".

[@billymccue8597]

It's the best album cover to cover...that has ever been made. Period

[@Crushenator500]

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.

[@williamhild1793]

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.

[@Affentures]

Love - Forever Changes is one of my favorite albums and it definitely deserves a listen sometime in the future

[@Cromeyellow66]

Absolutely love it!

[@ead630]

@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

[@jarichards99utube]

[@pranav7762]

FINALLY A PINK FLOYD SAGA BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SO EAGERLY :)

[@TTM9691]

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 just did a search of all of your previous reactions, and was shocked that you haven't listened to any Led Zeppelin yet. I know that I recommended that you do the Led Zeppelin journey last year when you were finishing up the Beatles catalogue, but it appears you haven't done any yet. Led Zeppelin are the 5th biggest selling musical artists of all time (behind only Michael Jackson at #4, Garth Brooks at #3, Elvis Presley at #2, and of course the Beatles at #1). Like you did with the Beatles, I recommend that you do Led Zeppelin's entire catalogue. I would start with their first album "Led Zeppelin I" and go in chronological order right through to their final studio album, "CODA". I always wanted to see your unique perspective on the magic that was Led Zeppelin. I hope you consider doing it. Peace

Nice video .. Again .. So, have U only just ‘got around’ to listening to this album because there are just Sooooo Many albums on your ‘To Listen To’ List ? ? Or, have U literally only just recently become aware that it even existed ? Just Curious ! …. Yep, an absolute classic. The ‘Production’ quality for ‘1973’ is just … WOW … As mentioned in other comments, also listen to the Epic ‘Wish U Were Here’ too. However, my own Fave Floyd album is the Incredible ‘’Animals’’ …. Listen to the ‘Original Mix’ first, and then the recently released ‘Re-Mix’ version … I prefer the ‘Original’ …. Another Super Reaction Video would be to the Classic Yes Album …. Erm, yep, It really is called … ‘’The Yes Album’’ (1971 ) … And next up U could do the ‘Drama’ album …. ( with The ‘Buggles’ Singer. Who happens to sound 'just like' Jon Anderson ! ! ) Spoooooky …. Chris Squires’ ( RIP ) Bass on the track ‘Tempus Fugit’ Is just Amaaaaaazing …. Watch on Utoob. ‘’Yes - Tempus Fugit (Official Music Video)’’ …. Enjoy …. ATB.

[@spiritof6663]

Now that you've dipped your toe in prog waters, I suggest going for either Yes "Fragile" or Genesis "Selling England By The Pound". You can't go wrong with either, and you may find yourself enjoying the mix of impassioned vocals and highly sophisticated music. Kinda makes Floyd look simplistic (though still brilliant!)!

[@StepnieW]

Now it's time to do The Dark Side of the Rainbow. Listen to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon while watching The Wizard of Oz (1939) film.

[@tanobammino2519]

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!

[@slappyabromowitz]

Enjoyed this a lot. I think Paul & Linda McCartneys RAM which has grown in estimation over the years. It was trashed by the hipper than though rock critics at the time as too "domesticated." But it's how most sonically interesting album and the lyrics are much more interesting in historical context. We now know he didn't break the Beatles up and he was right about the financials and add that Lennon and Harrison released monumentally serious records filled with end era proclamations, it compared unfavorably. Check around you might be fascinated by its history as well as Pitchfork gave it a 9.0 out of 10 a few years back and it rated pretty high on the RS all-time list.

[@DeathToTheDictators]

Great review! But you missed the very last line of the album (it's quiet and hard to hear)...he says "there is no dark side of the moon, really...(but you missed) matter of fact it's ALL dark".

for me (not only me, but well ahah), moon = out mind ; sun = universe, everything surrounding us. It says in the end of the album: "and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon". So, everything has a purpose, the good and the bad things, but we sometimes don't see that purpose and that balance because our mind distorts that

[@firedoc5]

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.

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.

[@babylonian.captivity]

I love Pink Floyd and was fairly saturated in this album in high school (in the late eighties), though it was not my favorite of theirs. I just listened to this album for the first time in probably years with my (sixteen year old) daughter a few weeks ago. Indeed, it does stand the test of time. It's a fine, fine album. A masterpiece indeed. I've been listening to a lot of so-called shoegaze and dream pop lately and the influence of Pink Floyd on those whole genres is profound. (I'd also recommend Animals, Wish You Were Here, and (of course), The Wall.) (Also, as long as you're doing classic epics, you might try one or more of the following by The Who: Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia.)

"Money" does seem like the odd duck of the album.....but this is key: it opens side two! And with vinyl, you have two chances to "open" and two chances to "close". "Great Gig In The Sky" is a perfect way of ending Side 1. You process that, get up, flip the record over....."Money" starts. It's a "new beginning". It's a great side opener. But when we listen to it in on a CD or streaming.....it just comes right on, without a break, it's always a bit of a "buzz kill". It's like.....can we just get to "Us And Them"? lol. (like I said: on vinyl, it doesn't feel that way.)

[@simonatkinson6389]

This was wonderful to watch. Your the first reaction I've seen where you do it properly! You listened to the whole album like it was one long song. Pink Floyd created albums, not songs, and they were created to be listened to through headphones, preferably in a darkened room with a cold beer or a good whiskey, so you don't miss any of the subtle sounds they added. Pink Floyd needs to be 'Experienced' rather than just listened to. If you want to see these guy at an epic level check out the track "Comfortably Numb' at the 1994 Pulse concert. It is considered to have THE greatest guitar solo of any Pink Floyd track

If Sgt. Pepper's is the most important and influential rock album ever made, The Dark Side Of The Moon is the quintessential rock album: epic, experimental electronic sounds, raging guitar licks, unbelievable vocals, solid, ethereal, cohesive, polished, overall a ride. It is the album that encapsulates rock's history. It's never dated, always current.

I truly believe Dark Side is the greatest album of all time, it’s hyped a lot but I think it has earned every bit of hype it gets.

I thought the parenthetical 'does it stand the test of time?' was funny. This album was on the Billboard album chart for 18 years! The only reason it fell off was because Billboard changed their methodology. In 2020, it re-entered the chart and racked up a total of 981 weeks.

Everyone's peaks and troughs, Echoes is beyond beautiful. "Wish you were here" my personal peak. Those three albums are mine.

This is Pink Floyd's Sgt. Pepper. Many will put other albums as their best but this one will remain their crowning achievement. Roger Waters himself was not too happy with the lyrics of this album because, as you noticed it, they're too straightforward and simple in times, but as George Martin (The Beatles' producer) somewhat stated, making something sound simple and good at the same time is the most difficult thing to do. We'd see Roger Waters' sharpened pen in the next albums. A real man of words.

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)!...
