Dark Side of the Rainbow
"Dark Side of the Rainbow" is an interesting phenomenon that occurs when someone listens to "Dark Side of the Moon" while watching "The Wizard of Oz" with the sound off. Starting the album when the MGM lion roars will bring about interesting parallels throughout the first forty-two minutes of the film. For instance, "Brain Damage" plays while the Scarecrow sings "If I Only Had a Brain." The members of Pink Floyd have said that this is unintentional, but many people think that it is too much of a coincidence to have happened by accident.
Reviews
"There is a certain grandeur here that exceeds mere musical melodramatics and is rarely attempted in rock."‐Lloyd Grossman, Rolling Stone Magazinehttp://www.rollingstone.com/artists/pinkfloyd/albums/album/126211/review/6212432/dark_side_of_the_moon
"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, Treblehttp://www.treblezine.com/reviews/833-Pink_Floyd_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon.html
'"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, Blenderhttp://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=2300
