Reviewby Stephen Thomas Erlewine
By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual
songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their
trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd
inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough
with Dark Side of the Moon. The primary revelation of
Dark Side of the Moon is what a little focus does for
the band. Roger Waters wrote a series of songs about
mundane, everyday details which aren't that impressive
by themselves, but when given the sonic backdrop of
Floyd's slow, atmospheric soundscapes and carefully
placed sound effects, they achieve an emotional
resonance. But what gives the album true power is the
subtly textured music, which evolves from ponderous,
neo-psychedelic art rock to jazz fusion and blues-rock
before turning back to psychedelia. It's dense with
detail, but leisurely paced, creating its own dark,
haunting world. Pink Floyd may have better albums than
Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them
quite as well as this one.
