Album Description
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2008.
Amazon.com essential recording
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

 The best of the best November 22, 2008
My favorite album ever. The only album I know of that I wouldn't change a single thing. Perfect in every way.
 how utterly dreadful!! November 13, 2008

For an album to be so meagre in depth there are many words to spend.
To begin with, to claim this piece of crap is a 'messed-up-piece' only shows a severe lack of knowledge and wisdom, to take that Benny my man!
Secondly for a CD so painfully preposterous there is no validation and right to exist under the sun moon and stars.
How utterly dreadful that (again!!) the dumb masses be enchanted by this unwiped *** of an album.
It is cruelly misappropriate to barf any cliched compliments over this swine of swines.
I wish I could destroy this CD on the first day of its smelly 'breathe'.
0 stars now and always.

Worst album of all-time! November 10, 2008

SNORE. I can't believe some of you dorky stoners trapped in the '70s have the nerve to call this album a "masterpiece" or "one of the best albums of all-time"! LOL, MUSIC NERDS! You people can't be serious. They didn't even get any MTV or BET airplay. Therefore, they automatically are horrible. I suggest you listen to a great album like "St.Anger" by Metallica or "Lost Highway" by Bon Jovi if you want a taste of what real music should sound like.
The best Album I've heard so far October 30, 2008

Now I'm new to Rock, I've always heard of the hype. Pink Floyd was a perfect start, in fact the Dark side of the Moon was the best introduction to the genre and the band.
when I first popped this into my car I was expecting to be blown away after all the positive reviews from this website, I wasn't. The reason was that my car's speakers were cr*p. And this band in particular NEEDS the best audio system you can afford. So in my car I wasn't able to here stereo effects which this album heavily relies on. So ignorantly I put the cd away disappointed.
The second time I heard the album was on my MP3 device with a pair of sennheiser CX-300's which sound decent enough.
I heard the whole album and I was overwhelmed.
Where was I from this band all this time?
I was imagining a live concert in front of me while listening to the music. I can only imagine the euphoria of attending such performance, live.
I new what the fuss was all about.
In fact I was really disappointed at the rating of this album which is currently 4.5 stars from about 1400 reviews.
This album instantly became on the top of the list of the best I've heard with no hesitation.
How could it not be?
All other music seems just noise to me now.
