Critical Response

"There is a certain grandeur here that exceeds mere musical melodramatics and is rarely attempted in rock."—Lloyd Grossman, Rolling Stone Magazine⁶

"From the first thumping heartbeat and cacophony of cash register noises, mad voices, laughter and screams, Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' revels in carefully engineered musical perfection."—Nicole Grotepas, Treble⁷

"A perfect synthesis of experimental rock and decent tunes, this is still the definitive Pink Floyd album, with state-of-the-art hi-fi trickery, Roger Waters’ erudite lyrics and plenty of eyes-shut, tennis racket–in-front-of-the mirror moments."—Carlo Twist, Blender⁸
