Dark Side of the Moon

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
There is simply no topping this album when it comes to brilliant music making. Repeated listens over the years simply reveal more depths, which to me is the sign of wonderful, timeless music. The word classic is over-used, but for me, Dark Side of The Moon goes beyond being a piece of great rock music. It is simply great music. Taken as a complete work, you are unlikely to spend 42 minutes in better company, time and time again. I can think of no other recording that sounds so fresh every time I play it. Absolutely wonderful - and worthy of your attention.

The Wall: Remastered

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date October 10, 1994
I don't really know what to say about this, seeing that it's the first Pink Floyd album i've ever bought, except that it's very, very, good, But if you're looking for happy, cheerful music, look elsewhere, because although it contains a wide range of moods such as anger, fear, and bleak sadness, there's not a jolly tune anywhere. David Gilmours' guitar is simply ace, and effect of Roger Water's biting, sarcastic lyrics is heightened by his powerful voice. Makes a solid listen, especially the second disc, but as the tracks are all merged together by random sound effects like furious teachers and aeroplane engines it's hard to put individual tracks on an MP3 or ipod but forget about that anyway because it's supposed to be a single work.

H.A.A.R.P + DVD

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Muse

Release Date March 17, 2008
...if you havnt heard of muse...please turn off your PC and jump off a cliff as your not worth living!
This CD/DVD is amazing !
like many others - I was at this gig. But i went to BOTH dates that weekend (16th and 17th) I had a seat for the saturday and i got RIGHT TO THE FRONT on the 17th (and was delighted to find out they were filming the DVD for that night!) I just WISH WISH WISH...Muse played 'microcuts' on the sunday instead of the saturday as its their BEST SONG BY FAR ! i went mental when they played it on the saturday. (as i had a bet with my mate who is the biggest muse fan ever - that they would play it) i won...and he had to eat his trainer!

(you can actually see me in this- and my parents laughed when they saw) ... Read More:

Wish You Were Here

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
A fine example of a '70s, coked-up, cocktail bar, interpretation of a vision for an apocalyptic future, which is kind of cool in it's own way.
I like destruction and despair I can tap my toe to.

What can I say, I just can't take this album seriously at all really, unlike Floyd who are clearly taking themselves far too seriously and from that perspective it's fantastic!
'Welcome to the machine', I find just hilarious!
I've given it 4 stars for tongue in cheek entertainment value and probably 2 stars for it's contribution to music as a whole.

Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd)

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date November 05, 2001
i like this compilation as it contains most of pink floyd's classics. i'm not a big fan of them but my favorite songs are the two 1980s hits learning to fly and sorrow. then comes another brick in the wall, money, wish you were here and shine on you crazy diamond which i like better on the wish you were here album. but for classic rock fans, this is a must have!

Meddle

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
"Meddle" - the 1971 album - contains the bands signature piece "Echoes" : a massive, definitive space-rock-funk-jam that lasts about 22 minutes, is the perfect accompaniment to the end of "2001", and was undoubtedly the absolute, brain-mashing highlight of 2006's David Gilmour Tour : seeing it performed by the ersatz version of the Floyd - containing 2/3rds of the final touring lineup - on his 2006 tour, assaulted by lasers and smoke in the confines of the Royal Albert Hall was one of the musical highlights of my life. Nonetheless, we're getting off track : "Meddle" is a great record that is the first foreshadowing of the creative heights the band will achieve. A fine record worth buying.

The Division Bell

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date March 30, 1994
This isn't just my favourite Floyd album but my favourite album of all time. If it was vinyl I would have worn it out years ago. I don't even know who Roger Waters is/was and his presence could not have improved this superb CD.
Sure, old Floyd stuff is good but this is their best.

Dark Side of the Moon - 30th Anniversary Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date March 31, 2003
There's very little that I can add to the heaps of praise that this SACD has attracted. I received my brand new sealed copy today from an Amazon Marketplace vendor in New York for a little over £6 (what a bargain!) and by the time I reached track 4 I was so excited I had to tell someone about it. Unfortunately nobody at home has the same rabid level of interest in music and things technical that I have so I have logged on to direct my enthusiasm to Amazon customers instead.

The SACD audio quality is spectacular for a start. The noise is absolutely zero on this release so the initial heartbeat sound really did creep up on me. Sonically it was so natural and realistic that if I didn't know the album back-to-front I would have thought that my SACD player was not playing ... Read More:

Absolution

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Muse

Release Date September 22, 2003
This is not their best album, worth listening to, definitely. I would urge you to buy it but if it's a choice of different muse albums go for Black Holes and Revelations. Very good lyrics and the songwriting is upto scratch as usual. Still very good.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason

CD-Charts > Music > Progressive Rock
by: Pink Floyd

Release Date September 07, 1987
So Roger Waters threw the toys out of the pram and spat out his dummy. Who the hell cares? He went on to have a successful solo career and jolly good luck to him.

But to then say, oh well Pink Floyd is no longer in existence and this is a Gilmour solo album, under the name of Pink Floyd, is frankly infantile. This is David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright and they are as much the essence of Pink Floyd as Roger Waters ever was. Oh and by the way if Roger Waters was so damn sure that Floyd could not exist without him, why did he take such trouble to exclude Rick Wright and draw up legal papers preventing him from ever rejoining the group? Perhaps because he recognised, as anyone with a semblence of wits should, that great groups are not simply the product of one individual. ... Read More:
