REEEEEEEEEEE
I agree with OP! This album, and every Pink Floyd album afterwards sucks shit!
It's their ascetic and song structure that make them great.
>>62519676
>It's starts out pretty bad
fuck you too
People like it. It has nice album art .
The beginning of the album is fucking cash, the best Pink Floyd album is probably Wish you Were Here

It's actually the greatest album ever made. Try developing some taste

cuz its multidimensionally profitable to listen to

If you're unwilling to discuss why albums are considered good then you're just as bad as OP. Some albums are considered good only because of public perception, like the Moby Dicks of music. They are classics because... why? That's the question that needs answering. Even though OP is an idiot, the discussion concerning why some albums are considered classics is important - even if the answers are obvious for some.
>>62519600
I agree. It's SHIT. Literally music for dying people.

What's so fucking great about it? Side one deals with being born, living a life that is too short, and dying, and never achieving your goals, or realizing your dreams. Side two is about greed, avarice, conflict, war, strife and political corruption, and how you'll eventually be driven insane and live out your days in an insane asylum! This album, and the concept behind it is a big stinking pile of shit!

I dont even get this kind of shit posting.
Of all the dad rock considered great, pink floyd and specifically DSotM actually holds up really well.
If you're gonna take a stab at overrated, poorly aged dad-rock then be a man and state the obvious.

>>62527447
A lot of beatles music sounds dated as fuck, unfortunately. Part of it is because so many people took influence from them and made more catchy, modern, polished but similar sounding music, which makes the original beatles sound unoriginal AND old to anyone under the age of 40
>>62526803
Brain Damage too low
Money too high
Pretty solid

While Any Colour You Like is instrumental, it has been speculated that the song ties to The Dark Side of the Moon concept by considering the lack of choice one has in human society, while being deluded into thinking one does. It is also speculated that the song is about the fear of making choices. The origin of the title is unclear.
The first half of the song repeats the same few notes on the keyboard except they play it faster, slower, backwards. and forwards to create the illusion of listening to different things. It cleverly shows how people are mislead into thinking they are deciding how their life will run, but that is not the case as society forces you to take a certain path. Note its position on the album, too. "Us and Them" is about paranoia, immediately following this is "Any Colour You Like" and then "Brain Damage", finally Eclipse. Any Colour is the nervous breakdown that comes in between the onset of paranoia and the "brain damage."
The song used advanced effects for the time both in the keyboard and the guitar. The VCS 3 synthesizer was fed through a long tape loop to create the rising and falling keyboard solo. David Gilmour used two guitars with the Uni-Vibe guitar effect to create the harmonizing guitar solo for the rest of the song. "Any Colour You Like" is also known (and is even listed on the Dark Side guitar tablature book) as "Breathe (Second Reprise)" because the song shares the same beat (albeit somewhat funkier and uptempo) as the album's first song "Breathe". It has also nearly the same chord sequence just transposed a whole step lower from E minor to D minor.
The reason why I have fallen in monogamic love with this tune is due to its perfection. The production behind it is unmatchable by any standard. The synthesizers take front row for most of the production, and the guitar/bass/drum combo serve as a base. In my mind, this is what a song should try to achieve if it wants to be perfect.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
That doesn't mean your opinion means anything or has any value at any level, but at least you still get to have one.

Where does Careful with that axe Eugene fit into their songs rating's?
There is a magical thing called personal taste, which varies music taste from person to person.

Never understood what people see in this totally forgettable album. Bores me to tears.

Meddle is shit. They should've just released an EP with One of These Days and Echoes on it, since those are the only good songs (coincidentally the opening and closing tracks).
>>62531352
It's a cartoon character, not a real person. Hell you could make one of your own if so inclined

none of the concepts listed in his post are novel, therefore the album is complete trash

Breathe and Us And Them are pretty good.
Wish You Were Here is way, way better.
>>62519600
>posts generic contrarian opinion
"my opinions are so unique and nuanced"
>>62531418
Echoes is their best work by a wide margin. Side 1 is weaker but not by enough to drag down the album as a whole. San Tropez is a great song.
>>62531566
Can we agree the song with the dog howling on it is by far the worst track?

"In Cambridge where I lived, people would come from London in a van -- a truck -- open the back and stand on the tailboard of the truck, and the truck's full of stuff that they're trying to sell. And they have a very quick and slick patter, and they're selling things like crockery, china, sets of knives and forks. All kinds of different things, and they sell it very cheap with a patter. They tell you what it is, and they say 'It's ten plates, lady, and it's this, that, and the other, and eight cups and saucers, and for the lot I'm asking NOT ten pounds, NOT five pounds, NOT three pounds... fifty bob to you!', and they get rid of this stuff like this. If they had sets of china, and they were all the same colour, they would say, 'You can 'ave 'em, ten bob to you, love. Any colour you like, they're all blue.' And that was just part of that patter. So, metaphorically, 'Any Colour You Like' is interesting, in that sense, because it denotes offering a choice where there is none. And it's also interesting that in the phrase, 'Any colour you like, they're all blue', I don't know why, but in my mind it's always 'they're all blue', which, if you think about it, relates very much to the light and dark, sun and moon, good and evil. You make your choice but it's always blue."

Literally every song on Meddle is great except for Seamus, which is still alright. Neck yourself for being this ignorant.

>>62524149
that's not KID A
>>62532694
No stop hating on the catchy popular song of an album for no reason other than to appear sophisticated.
>>62524295
Even through I'm not a big fan of the album i would say It's more artistically interesting than say Nevermind.
>>62524149
>>62533541
>someone on this board unironically thinks dsotm or kid a is the greatest album ever
>they even say 'try developing some taste'
This board is really cringe inducing.
>>62533740
alright so what's your favorite album and why is it so much better than Kid A and Dsotm?
>>62533797
like I need to explain myself to someone who thinks kid a is the greatest album ever
Go fuck yourself
>>62533817
Not that guy, but it sounds like you're strainin' to do some explainin'
>>62533817
I don't. But Kid A is still an incredible album that is really unique special and beautiful. So I don't really understand why you would think it's so bad. I also wonder what you find so much better.
Out of all the "major" albums (OKC, TVU&N, Beatles discog, etc.) this is the one album I can't understand how people could not like, I literally don't see why someone would dislike DSotM.. What do you even dislike about it??
>>62534003
Alright I'll explain it to you.
The album is so uninteresting, that even after 6th listen you dont remember a single good moment from it, it bores me to tears and is the definition of a forgettable album.
>>62534064
seriously, what do you listen to?
>>62524295
I agree here but you aren't questioning Moby Dick status as a classic are you? It's one of the greatest books of all time, easily the best thing I've ever read.

It's good, but there are bettet jazz albums out there
>>62519600
Because it's bland like everything British, and bland people are attracted to it because they lack basic intelligence and good taste.
>>62534731
You might find British stuff bland because it was so influential that it became the standard.
Think about it, The Beatles/Stones Eno/Bowie Aphex Twin/Prodigy all very iconic in their respective eras and now all feel a bit standard.
>>62534859
I wasn't talking about those people, Pink Floyd are bland as fuck and always have been, even the punks hated them and thought they were bland back in the mid 70s. They're babby's first serous dadrock band. Only young teens listen to this tripe, and suprise suprise that's who populates this board, underage shitheads with no real taste in anything because they're too young and stoopid to form their own opinions. Floydmania is as bad as Beatlemania, and that's all thats kept this mediocre band popular to this day.

>>62535017
Punks hated prog in general, that's why it fucking came into existence. No shit they'd hate PF when they hated bands like Yes who were the opposite of bland.

I'm not a huge fan of the album but i dig the first four tracks on the list.

It's because of faggot 16 year olds who think Pink Floyd is "deep". They probably don't even enjoy it, just force themselves to listen to it.
>>62519600
your mother and uncle, and grandfather sucks and your ass, and your penisito , fuck you nigger

100% accurate
>>62535017
>I wasn't talking about those people
you literally said
>Because it's bland like everything British
>>62535553
So because 16 year olds like something it automatically makes it redundant?
Playing devil's advocate because I hate Pink Floyd desu but that image is ridiculous.
>>62536566
The point is that as an adult you should consider yourself above these things. I was a huge fan of stuff like the Avengers when I was 16 but I've since matured and now I'm 19 watching stuff with actual substance like Battleship Potemkin.
