i'm 62 yrs.old i remember me and my brothers sitting in our room listening to this whole album the day we brought it home from the record store.YES i said record store .remember those ?sat there smoking joints and listening to Floyd . aghh ! those were the day's .
"how lucky you are to hear it for the first time" David Gilmour said the same, "my biggest regret was not hearing it for the first time." Welcome to Floyd... welcome to the machine : )
The keyboard player is Rick Wright. I'm glad you picked up on great he was - he doesn't get enough credit for his contributions to the whole Floyd sound.
Rick Wright was sooooo under appreciated & overlooked!!! He was my favorite of the 4. When he pasted away my heart sank knowing we’d never see a reunion. I always held onto a lil hope RIP Rick
My thoughts exactly. Clare Tory’s singing on Great Gig in the Sky is great, but Rick Wright’s beautiful composition (he composed it) and playing are often overlooked. Props to the reviewer for hearing and appreciating it.
I totally agree with the comments on Wright. Another crucial thing he injected into their music was his classical background. He valued the "quiet before the storm" in music & Floyd's music regularly used that. Or as "Rat" said, "waiting for the change"... aka building tension & anticipation. Which is rarely done these days (or in those days for that matter).
" I can't talk,... music is coming" . Good stuff man. I don't know why it is so satisfying to see people react to Dark Side of the Moon, but it is. Almost 30 years since first hearing it, it never gets old...
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon stayed on the Billboard top 200 list for 884 weeks which equates to 17 years. No other album will ever do that! A album for the ages!
This album surpassed technology haha. When the CD came out, this album shot back up on album sales and the same was true once downloading music was a thing. It wouldn't shock me if Floyd is still raking in a ton of money right now.
I grew up in a record store. I started working there when I was 12 or 13. Every week I did inventory of albums on hand. I would go down the Billboard Top 200 list and mark them off. Did this for several years. Dark Side was on the list every week. Every. Week.
Shine on you crazy diamond is the alternative to see if there's no crack in the whole range. (Don't get me wrong if I had to keep only one album it'd be DSOTM, but I'll try to negotiate to get a few ones more, we're just talking about audio testing here ;o) ).

I’m glad you mentioned the mix and engineering of this album. Everything about this album, from the writing and performance down to the technical aspects of putting it down on magnetic tapes, is exquisitely crafted. Nothing else has yet come close to the sheer brilliance that is this album. One for the ages.
The engineer of this album was Alan Parsons, he also helped engineer abbey road by the Beatles as well as having a very successful solo career. One of his most popular songs is called "eye in the sky" check it out
I am of the opinion that no one completely "gets" this album during their first experience. To me, it gets better with every listen, there's always something new to hear. A true masterpiece in rock history.
Listening to Pink Floyd is an experience. An experience. You were struggling early listening because you tried to find a neat little box to put this music into, and there isn’t one that exists. You had preconceived notions that you have musical wisdom and tried analyzing the music as it played on. It stumped you. You robbed yourself of the real experience. Roger Waters, the bass player and mastermind of all the lyrics and most of the music said he only cares about how the music makes people feel. You have to listen to Pink Floyd with an open mind and check your wisdom at the door. Just experience it and when it’s done, then try to figure out what you just experienced. If you can’t pull that off, you’ll never appreciate Pink Floyd.
An album you can listen to a 1000 times and continue to hear something new, there are so many sounds going on it is astounding. One of the marvels of modern production and will be studied for as long as people have ears.
Really glad you got around to this and gave it a listen! Your point about needing to digest this and listen again is on point. By not having to worry about us and commentary, you'll hear a lot of things that you may have missed the first time and I'm sure you'll like it even more. This is a genius piece of art and I think it will still be revered 50 years from now. Hope this is the start of more Pink Floyd videos. There is so much good shit that you're going to appreciate. peace Brother!
Bro you gotta pay attention to everything- the lyrics, the music, the sound, and the message. You listened to it but I don’t think you really heard it. Hope you take the time to actually sit there and appreciate this absolute masterpiece of human ingenuity. It has changed the lives of many many men and women.
It's hard to capture everything in a first listen. My favorite song is Time and I gotta admit I replayed it a thousand times to actually digest the song. It's awesome
@@christopherg.8591 I've listened to Time about 2000 times and i still discover new things. Try the Quad mix version from the Immersion Box Set, its awesome and new things pop out that arent as pronouced in the stereo version
It's an album you really need to be patient with listening to. Just lay down listen to the music, and focus on the different sounds. There is a lot of build up, between each song and in each song, and you just gotta immerse yourself in it. It’s great weed, and psychedelic music. It’s a difficult album to do a reaction to for that reason. One of the best albums of all time, and my favorite thing about it is the way each song flows right into the other. The “dizziness” your describing is a what is called a natural high.
Hes not interested. Hes busy texting, typing, doing other thing, then he follows it up by saying, "hey, guitars, drums, so cool." Just playing his followers
You are right about needing more than one time around to fully grasp this album. I've been listening to it since it first came out and I still love it after countless times. Feel better soon!!
Dope reaction, glad you took the time to check out what PF is about especially after that first try, kudos! I'll give you the quick PF guide so you know going forward: 1. Pink Floyd is all about the journey they take you on, both the albums and the individual songs are that way ("I feel like I'm listening to a movie," you get it). 2. There are 4 main albums that are concept albums (i.e. meant to listen to the whole thing in one sitting), Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. 3. The music and the lyrics are layered and deep, emotional and meaningful. It's always good to have the lyrics in front of you so you can appreciate what they are expressing. 4. Welcome to the machine my good man, enjoy the ride down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole!
and THIS is why you listen to a floyd album back to back rather than single tracks, they all blend and bleed into each other to form a painting it's great, floyd albums really put things into perspective for me when i need a reality check or i clean my house with it on my record player, i emotionally zone out for a bit doing the dishes so it makes my life easier 😂
I’m working on a rug by hand embroidery (with yarn) and I’ve listening to so many albums since I started, usually I watch a reaction and then listen to the album in entirety (Rush’s 2112 is another great one for this).
This album is a treasure, the sick blues based guitar riffs, mind bending vocals, profound lyrics and sublime sax parts are rarely paralleled in music...The engineer for this album Alan Parsons has some exquisite stuff too!
Watching someone realize that this album needs to be listened to from start to finish. This is one of the best reactions to this album I have seen yet. Welcome to the dark side!
Yep, this was a fantastic sharing experience. For those of us who've known this work for years, decades, it's very curious to see someone go into it fresh and not knowing what's to come. It was both fun and funny watching you trying to figure where you could safely pause to speak. Cheers.
For some odd reason, this album makes me cry. I bought it when it was first released, listening to it through my dad's headphones on his old Hi-Fi. Over time, I think we can all point to musical compilations that go down in history as some of the greatest on earth. For me, this is one of those albums. I have so many memories that go with these tracks: summers with friends on Mt. Diablo, parties at Strawberry Lake, road trips to the head shop in Hayward along the Old Road. It's great to watch you experience the album through headphones just the way I did nearly 50 years ago. Some things (wonderfully) never change. :) P.S. I think you gave me your cold.
@@themightyfp To be sure, it doesn't make me cry because I'm sad, it makes me cry because the whole album is so amazing. It's a beautiful compilation of musical talent. Thanks for the tissues!
Dude, welcome to the Floyd experience. Been on this journey for over 50 years and I never tire of this music! You’re right, it takes many many listens to really let this bore down deep into your souls and pores. It’s something that goes very very deep. I enjoyed your reaction and hope you continue to explore this amazing band.
Poor white working class in England, You wont be able to get how it inspired us in the 70's to see above the clouds. But Im glad you get some of it, The same way I get some American rap. More in common than apart, Peace dude.
Hey you,,,I was the person who left the comment below this one. I just watched you listening to Pink Floyd’s..Dark side of the moon” Super Dope is for real! Back in the middle 1970’s you should of been hanging in my basement listening to this with me and my peeps. Talk about mind blowing🤪 In 1975 we went to one of their concerts at Olympia Stadium in the “D” and they were told they weren’t welcomed back ever again to Detroit. The light show was to much for the wimps of the city!! Every song has a different feel to it. David Gilmour is phenomenal even to this day!! There’s one song you should listen to it’s “Wish you were here”. It was written for Syd Barrett who started the band but had a breakdown and never returned. The guys in the band wrote that song for him. Now that’s a dope song!! Every song Floyd does is different from the last one ☝️. You’re were right..it’s like you’ve been abducted. First thing I do when I get in my car...I put in a Pink Floyd CD. Feel better and catch my comment below this one. Janis💞
You had the greatest reaction of everyone That was awesome... Dogs is a song you would love.. Well anything Pink Floyd Thank you for the Great reaction I clicked subscribe to see a few more and Welcome to the Journey called Pink Floyd .....And if you ever want to see the greatest guitar solo google Comfortably numb Live Pulse
@Matthieu JOLY - There's a wrong fact in your comment: 20th century is revisionism... You propagate fake news... This is The Sole Album reaching Space Time rank. It is beyond "good" or "greatest". Nowhere in the infinite universe, no other time in History another album will supersede this one. Et ouais mec, tu peux pas teste !
@@garryiglesias4074 In fact, i've got my own personnal list of "albums" / music that is/are with this album (not a fact, a choice, matter of personnal opinion, in the "sapce/time continuum"), but, this is "my" perception. Everybody has one. As... etc.
Excellent reaction, good sir. You made it, man! Tech difficulties, battery issues, being sick - but you persevered!!! My favorite album of all-time (and that's sayin something cuz I'm 60). Cheers from London, England.
That's for posting this. You worked your ass of editing this classic album and the first of it's kind. After this they started calling them concept albums. Do your self a favor and watch the video Pulse where they perform the Dark side of the Moon in its entirety live absolutely AWESOME....
Thank you very much for revisiting Pink Floyd. Their fans (myself included) can occasionally become almost too passionate. The "Big 4" albums from Pink Floyd: "The Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall" are definitely best listened to straight through, if possible. For their other 11 studio albums, it's not nearly as important. If you love the guitars, be sure to listen to David Gimour's solo work. His live performance videos "Live In Gdansk" (2006) and "Live At Pompeii" (2016) are incredible.
If you are worried about missing a change when stopping, simply restart 5-10 seconds back. Can't speak for others, but I'm a PF reaction junkie to hear what emotions and feelings people experience when listening. This will be different for each person, and that is what is interesting. Send more Floyd! Edit: It was mixed by Alan Parsons.
The album is a masterpiece, but for me "time" is the best song. It might even be the best song I've ever heard, and it's one that becomes more special as you get older.
It's not far ahead at all... It's completely out of time. DSTOM is simply referenced as The Album when we talk about Space Time objects. The Universe exist just for the purpose of this album. Thousands of generations died before us just to complete the Great Plan.
Every sound effect, screech, distortion, boom, crash, voice over, waver of note and woorble, in piano or synth - or any other instrument for that matter - THAT YOU HEAR in todays music has their roots in this album (or other Pick Floyd albums, like WYWH, or Animals, MEDDLE, and The Wall). Anyone of any importance in the music industry will acknowledge the effect and impact this album has had on their own music. PF started it all and did SO MUCH for the future of music in 1972/3 by releasing this album, that its impact will never be fully known or quantified, IMO !!!
no fucking around my friend i like your channel..i had this album when i was like 9 years old love every song this is epic enjoy it...even if u disagree with me i like your chanell your honest...
It's like you walked into a museum to check out one particular masterpiece, and every little day-to-day thing popped up to distract you. But you hung in there, you put in the time and the effort. Good job.
Finally. Someone who understands that you need decent headphones to really get the Floyd. Also have another legend on the wall behind you. I've spent countless hours listening to both. Enjoy your journey.
The thing that always amazes me about this album is that the sounds and instrumentation were all produced without computers and digital technology. Plus it flows just beautifully. Pink Floyd is a sonic journey every time. Dave Gilmour is the main singer and guitar player.He’s in his early 70s now & still tours and totally kicks ass!
"It paralyzes time and removes me from my body." were the words I jotted down after listening to this album in its entirety for the first time whilst toasted to the gills on weed and mushrooms. It's a 43 minute long song and one of the most beautiful things ever recorded.
Nick Mason is my very favorite drummer. That rolling beat just on the lazy end of all of the beats, and perfectly healthy fills when needed. Not a show-off. But in the spotlight for sure. I LOVE HIM
Listening to this album one evening, specifically "On the Run", made me question if I was even listening to a song, which led to wonder, what is music anyway? That's what this album is for, pondering the great questions of life. Great video as always 👍
My man your review was spot on. You really couldn't articulate what you were feeling, other than it was emotional and moved you. Thats what music is all about
Stumbled into your reaction saw you were doing Dark Side of the Moon, grabbed my Reposado Tequila sat back and enjoyed the ride. This album never fails to evoke an emotional response as I absorb all the music, lyrics, nuances, and majesty that is DSOTM. This album, along with "Wish You Were Here" achieve the rare feat of displacing time as one listens to it. The music takes you on a journey and you wish it would never end.(the tequila is now in control). Look forward to your next Pink Floyd reaction, you're in for a helluva ride.
As someone from that early era it is interesting to witness the context for this guy's listening experience compared to how a lot of us older guys received Pink Floyd back then. For us hallucinogens weren't too far removed as being part of the experience of this genre of music even if we weren't taking while listening. It was about the "trip" Pink Floyd's music was taking us on. In a way, quite naive of us but where I see confusion in this guy's initial take I remember feelings of anticipation and the rush as we experienced our journey down the rabbit hole. And then of course it became about the music and it was sublime and almost unexpected.
Nice reaction to this amazing album! It'd be amazing to see you do their Wish You Were Here album next. Even if you've hear Shine on part 1 already just do it all together when you have time. Their Animals album is amazing too. If you listen to this on CD or vinyl there aren't any clicks between songs. They transition seamlessly.
I love your channel. You do a wider variety of genres and styles than most who make reaction videos. Thank you! Dark Side of the Moon is one of my all time favorite albums. I smiled when you were saying that is was like "listening to a movie". Did you know that the album syncs up perfectly with The Wizard of Oz? It's crazy!
I know you got beat up for your previous Pink Floyd reviews, but I know you didn't know how passionate the fans are. This album is a masterpiece, and was on the billboard top 200 for 17 years straight!. Longest in history, no one comes close. I hope you are beginning to understand. I know you are still learning..
Just try not to do it during the guitar solo. Soon as the break hits , stop review then go back a little .Then you never miss anything.Little tip from your uncle Tim. This shit is a classic , very nice.
We'll there 's no legitimate time to stop a Vinyl side... The only break on the blueprint is between the Great Gig and Money... And it's just for you to turn the disc, maybe stretch a little bit, pack his pouf, and that's it.
im so glad you gave this a listen, a lot of the things you said about this album would be great t-shirt quotes for floyd. im glad your videos show how we can stereotype people and place people into groups who only like this music or that music like its a war and we have to fight for our genre when in reality all music is art that can be appreciated by anyone with an open mind. i hate hearing people say this song sucks, that band sucks or this music is inferior about any music even if its not to my tastes, i appreciate the thought that goes into the lyrics for rap and the effort and vocal training that goes into screamo metal even though I'm not fond of many songs in either of those genres i can still see the artists hard work and feeling behind their work. thanks for a great video
Pink Floyd has a lot of variety in their albums. Pink Floyd only recently clicked with me and I've just been binging through their back catalog. I've only heard 5 pink Floyd Albums so far but I'd love a reaction to pink Floyd's album Piper at the gates of dawn
Clare H. Torry (born 29 November 1947) is a British singer, best known for performing the wordless vocals on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" You go girl!
This album is meant to be listened to in one sitting. It takes you on a trip through life from birth "Breath" to death . You kinda got the jist of it .Best album ever in my opinion. thanks for posting this I enjoy other people's reaction you were taken on a trip through the circle of life.
He is incredibly intelligent to realize on his first listen to just let it go and not speak for the sake of missing whats next.This took me dozens of listens and years...
I really liked this show. Your reaction to the music was sincere. Much of Dark Side of the Moon is what I call floaty music where, you're right, it does affect the body and mind. One could say that the album was a masterfully created piece of art. Looking forward to another album review. 🖤✌
ziggylove9 , Bi ziggylove9, I just got a blue guitar like bowies, and the first song I’m gonna learn to play is Queen Bitch! I’m 59 but nothing will stop me!
Dark Side of the Moon 🌙 will forever be a timeless classic, for an album made in 1973 with no computers, sounds effects and mixed to perfection. On the top 100 billboard for 18 years, absolutely incredible 👏 take a bow Pink Floyd.
Some of the greatest music composition in musical history. Every man women and child should listen to this album, the world would be a better place, no doubt about that at all. ✌️❤
Great choice and thank you for doing it. Dark side amongst other like albums has so many layers that it does require multiple listening, cause there are so many layers to the album. When concept albums get it right it is totally mind expanding(and exploding). The 1 key that you seem to get is that it is emotion. Its not just lyrics but lyrics with music, with atmosphere and with texture. It is like a sandwich versus an entire meal, so many parts contribute to the whole, which hip hop, IMO, doesn't have the depth to. Now, to find the next mind blower for you, cause who doesn't like to get blown? Lol
I think you'd really enjoy "The Wall", the story, in two album form (or motion picture, with all the music) of a British rock musician, his emotional entanglements, estrangements, isolation, and breakdown. If somebody tells you to watch "The Wall" drunk or stoned, don't listen, you'd miss so very many references and so much symbolism.
Whether you do it for a video or just for yourself kicking back on the couch, I strongly suggest the Wish You Were Here album in its entirety. It was also made to all blend together and I actually prefer it over dark side of the moon but that’s just my preference. it’s a heavily emotional album and you can really feel every bit of it. Just a suggestion, you won’t regret it
For the folks telling him he shouldn't talk, etc....have you forgotten what hearing this for the first time is really like? It's so different and interesting that you have to share your thoughts right then. We all did it.
Yep, he was reacting and sharing in the moment, for the entire album. A rather heavy dose to not expect someone to speak or breathe to for it's entirety.
I grew up listening to this album on vinyl. It's a masterpiece! My dad has excellent taste in music hahaha it was awesome seeing you listen to something I've loved my entire life. It's crazy to think this album is 15 years older than me, but now generations are loving it from all walks of life
I like how honest you are about not being able to review them on first listen. Its true, you will enjoy it even more in later listens, until it becomes an old friend. Their songs age well.
I smoked a bowl while watching Rat. It was a beautiful experience to see Pink Floyd blow his mind. Remembered back to being 6 years old when this album came out and hearing it because of my older brother. 40 odd years later, it still blows my mind, it never get old and the song TIme - has been amazing to grow up with as the decades have passed.
This reaction makes me happy. I'm continued to be blown away that this album was made in 1973. This was some next level shit for it's time and is still next level by today's standards. I hope you do Wish You Were Here album next. In my opinion, it's their best album.
Freakn awesome.. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos. This was incredible my friend. What an awesome review in every regard. :)
"I feel like I'm listening to a movie..." may be the finest reaction to this album I've ever heard. Now sync it up with "The Wizard of Oz" to really drive that point home. Seriously. Thanks for your review and your time! One more thought (not directly to this reaction) is how difficult it is for anyone listening to the music of this era to ask the question "What kind of music is this?" Not all music, perhaps even the best music, cannot be so easily categorized. The creative process then was different and people were not trying to compose music in a box, but from a sense of exploration and responding to what was in his or her soul.
I remember about 3 years ago when i was 18 listening to this album in its entirety for the first time (I had already heard breath, time, money, and brain damage), to say it changed my life would be a fair statement. Whenever I'm feeling any sort of emotion, whether it be happiness or sadness, when I play this album from start to finish it just elevates me into a new space, something I can't explain. There are very few albums you can listen from start to finish over and over again with it still feeling fresh, I hope Pink Floyd's music lives on forever.
As you can see, Floyd brings out so many emotions, they take you on a journey. This is one of those albums you need to continue to listen to. The more you hear it, the deeper it takes you. This is what is categorized as Psycadellic Rock, I'm sure you can understand why now. Play it while you drive, play it while you play video games, clean your house or whatever. Take the journey, it will make you better....

Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon stayed on the Billboard top 200 list for 884 weeks which equates to 17 years. No other album will ever do that! A album for the ages!
A total of 942 weeks.
Bob Marley's Legend is 2nd 561.
Metallica's 1991 album Metallica is the 4th, but 2nd for original albums at 522.
And dont forget: this 884 weeks was in a row.....in germany it stayed at total (with some short breaks[shit]) 1254 weeks in top 200
Yes, l remember. Got the new album 1973 at the perfect age of thirteen. Loved PF ever since.
This album surpassed technology haha. When the CD came out, this album shot back up on album sales and the same was true once downloading music was a thing. It wouldn't shock me if Floyd is still raking in a ton of money right now.
I grew up in a record store. I started working there when I was 12 or 13. Every week I did inventory of albums on hand. I would go down the Billboard Top 200 list and mark them off. Did this for several years. Dark Side was on the list every week. Every. Week.
I think this is the Go To album for testing out a new sound system.
Shine on you crazy diamond is the alternative to see if there's no crack in the whole range.
(Don't get me wrong if I had to keep only one album it'd be DSOTM, but I'll try to negotiate to get a few ones more, we're just talking about audio testing here ;o) ).

True. ❤️✌️
Listening to Pink Floyd is an experience. An experience.
You were struggling early listening because you tried to find a neat little box to put this music into, and there isn’t one that exists.
You had preconceived notions that you have musical wisdom and tried analyzing the music as it played on. It stumped you.
You robbed yourself of the real experience. Roger Waters, the bass player and mastermind of all the lyrics and most of the music said he only cares about how the music makes people feel.
You have to listen to Pink Floyd with an open mind and check your wisdom at the door. Just experience it and when it’s done, then try to figure out what you just experienced.
If you can’t pull that off, you’ll never appreciate Pink Floyd.
I'm back, Rat. Anything Pink Floyd and I'm here! You did good.
An album you can listen to a 1000 times and continue to hear something new, there are so many sounds going on it is astounding. One of the marvels of modern production and will be studied for as long as people have ears.

Hope this is the start of more Pink Floyd videos. There is so much good shit that you're going to appreciate.

philiposm: I feel that in 200 years, folks will be looking back at Pink Floyd in the same way that we do with Bach, Mozart, etc. today.
Masterpeice. A 46 year old masterpiece.
….or masterpiece. Ooops!
Bro you gotta pay attention to everything- the lyrics, the music, the sound, and the message. You listened to it but I don’t think you really heard it. Hope you take the time to actually sit there and appreciate this absolute masterpiece of human ingenuity. It has changed the lives of many many men and women.
It's hard to capture everything in a first listen. My favorite song is Time and I gotta admit I replayed it a thousand times to actually digest the song. It's awesome
@@christopherg.8591 I've listened to Time about 2000 times and i still discover new things. Try the Quad mix version from the Immersion Box Set, its awesome and new things pop out that arent as pronouced in the stereo version
"Abducted by the music", never heard that one...and its classic. So damn true.
It's an album you really need to be patient with listening to. Just lay down listen to the music, and focus on the different sounds. There is a lot of build up, between each song and in each song, and you just gotta immerse yourself in it. It’s great weed, and psychedelic music.
It’s a difficult album to do a reaction to for that reason. One of the best albums of all time, and my favorite thing about it is the way each song flows right into the other.
The “dizziness” your describing is a what is called a natural high.
exactly
Spot on patience 😊❤YNWA
I loved watching you react to this. It shows you're are genuinely interested in the music. You deserve way more subscribers
Kind words thank you.
He's the man.
He aint interested in shit
@@themightyfp Excellent reaction. Please react to their first album tracks, really puts it in perspective (the band that is). Thanks!
Hes not interested. Hes busy texting, typing, doing other thing, then he follows it up by saying, "hey, guitars, drums, so cool." Just playing his followers
You are right about needing more than one time around to fully grasp this album. I've been listening to it since it first came out and I still love it after countless times. Feel better soon!!
Dope reaction, glad you took the time to check out what PF is about especially after that first try, kudos! I'll give you the quick PF guide so you know going forward:
1. Pink Floyd is all about the journey they take you on, both the albums and the individual songs are that way ("I feel like I'm listening to a movie," you get it).
2. There are 4 main albums that are concept albums (i.e. meant to listen to the whole thing in one sitting), Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall.
3. The music and the lyrics are layered and deep, emotional and meaningful. It's always good to have the lyrics in front of you so you can appreciate what they are expressing.
4. Welcome to the machine my good man, enjoy the ride down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole!
Best album of all time . The best review you have done. More album reviews.
More Pink Floyd especially.
Pink Floyd rules 🤘
and THIS is why you listen to a floyd album back to back rather than single tracks, they all blend and bleed into each other to form a painting it's great, floyd albums really put things into perspective for me when i need a reality check or i clean my house with it on my record player, i emotionally zone out for a bit doing the dishes so it makes my life easier 😂
I’m working on a rug by hand embroidery (with yarn) and I’ve listening to so many albums since I started, usually I watch a reaction and then listen to the album in entirety (Rush’s 2112 is another great one for this).
@bhelliom3 where do we see these rugs?
This album is a treasure, the sick blues based guitar riffs, mind bending vocals, profound lyrics and sublime sax parts are rarely paralleled in music...The engineer for this album Alan Parsons has some exquisite stuff too!
Watching someone realize that this album needs to be listened to from start to finish. This is one of the best reactions to this album I have seen yet. Welcome to the dark side!
Don Lafontaine 😊 thank you appreciate your time peace ✌️
Yep, this was a fantastic sharing experience. For those of us who've known this work for years, decades, it's very curious to see someone go into it fresh and not knowing what's to come. It was both fun and funny watching you trying to figure where you could safely pause to speak. Cheers.
For some odd reason, this album makes me cry. I bought it when it was first released, listening to it through my dad's headphones on his old Hi-Fi. Over time, I think we can all point to musical compilations that go down in history as some of the greatest on earth. For me, this is one of those albums. I have so many memories that go with these tracks: summers with friends on Mt. Diablo, parties at Strawberry Lake, road trips to the head shop in Hayward along the Old Road. It's great to watch you experience the album through headphones just the way I did nearly 50 years ago. Some things (wonderfully) never change. :)
P.S. I think you gave me your cold.
Cindy M. 😞 sorry bout your sniffles if it helps I have plenty of tissues if you need 😊 feel better Peace ✌️
@@themightyfp To be sure, it doesn't make me cry because I'm sad, it makes me cry because the whole album is so amazing. It's a beautiful compilation of musical talent. Thanks for the tissues!
Dude, welcome to the Floyd experience. Been on this journey for over 50 years and I never tire of this music! You’re right, it takes many many listens to really let this bore down deep into your souls and pores. It’s something that goes very very deep.
I enjoyed your reaction and hope you continue to explore this amazing band.
Us and Them, a beautiful song about the sadness of conflict.
Poor white working class in England, You wont be able to get how it inspired us in the 70's to see above the clouds. But Im glad you get some of it, The same way I get some American rap. More in common than apart, Peace dude.
Hey you,,,I was the person who left the comment below this one. I just watched you listening to Pink Floyd’s..Dark side of the moon” Super Dope is for real! Back in the middle 1970’s you should of been hanging in my basement listening to this with me and my peeps. Talk about mind blowing🤪 In 1975 we went to one of their concerts at Olympia Stadium in the “D” and they were told they weren’t welcomed back ever again to Detroit. The light show was to much for the wimps of the city!! Every song has a different feel to it. David Gilmour is phenomenal even to this day!! There’s one song you should listen to it’s “Wish you were here”. It was written for Syd Barrett who started the band but had a breakdown and never returned. The guys in the band wrote that song for him. Now that’s a dope song!! Every song Floyd does is different from the last one ☝️. You’re were right..it’s like you’ve been abducted. First thing I do when I get in my car...I put in a Pink Floyd CD. Feel better and catch my comment below this one. Janis💞
You had the greatest reaction of everyone That was awesome... Dogs is a song you would love.. Well anything Pink Floyd Thank you for the Great reaction I clicked subscribe to see a few more and Welcome to the Journey called Pink Floyd .....And if you ever want to see the greatest guitar solo google Comfortably numb Live Pulse
Skip William Appreciate the sub. Thanks for the suggestion be well. ✌️
I love how candid you are sometimes, dude. Never fear saying the shit rolling around in your head.
That's the reason you needed to ear this at once: all in a heartbeat.
This is really one of the greatest album of the 20th century.
Great reaction.
@Matthieu JOLY - There's a wrong fact in your comment: 20th century is revisionism... You propagate fake news...
This is The Sole Album reaching Space Time rank. It is beyond "good" or "greatest". Nowhere in the infinite universe, no other time in History another album will supersede this one.
Et ouais mec, tu peux pas teste !
@@garryiglesias4074 In fact, i've got my own personnal list of "albums" / music that is/are with this album (not a fact, a choice, matter of personnal opinion, in the "sapce/time continuum"), but, this is "my" perception. Everybody has one. As... etc.
One of the greatest, if not the GREATEST albums ever made.
Next is the "Wish You Were Here" album.
Excellent reaction, good sir. You made it, man! Tech difficulties, battery issues, being sick - but you persevered!!! My favorite album of all-time (and that's sayin something cuz I'm 60). Cheers from London, England.
OscarWilde66 cheers London ✌️
Try Pink Floyd Animals or Wish You Were Here. Both albums are a journey just like Dark Side of the Moon.
And the wall
That's for posting this. You worked your ass of editing this classic album and the first of it's kind. After this they started calling them concept albums. Do your self a favor and watch the video Pulse where they perform the Dark side of the Moon in its entirety live absolutely AWESOME....
Thank you very much for revisiting Pink Floyd. Their fans (myself included) can occasionally become almost too passionate. The "Big 4" albums from Pink Floyd: "The Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall" are definitely best listened to straight through, if possible. For their other 11 studio albums, it's not nearly as important. If you love the guitars, be sure to listen to David Gimour's solo work. His live performance videos "Live In Gdansk" (2006) and "Live At Pompeii" (2016) are incredible.
If you are worried about missing a change when stopping, simply restart 5-10 seconds back. Can't speak for others, but I'm a PF reaction junkie to hear what emotions and feelings people experience when listening. This will be different for each person, and that is what is interesting. Send more Floyd!
Edit: It was mixed by Alan Parsons.
Same! Love it
To think. 46 F'ings years ago. It's still 100% relevant. Not only musically, but also our current state of life/existence.....
Dizzying... No.. Nauseous... No... Trance...
Mesmerizing. That's the word you were looking for.
Never too old to discover Pink Floyd. Don't waste any more time. Delve deeper.
The album is a masterpiece, but for me "time" is the best song. It might even be the best song I've ever heard, and it's one that becomes more special as you get older.
You have to remember, this was recorded in 1972 and early 1973, and was SOOOOOOOO far ahead of it's time, it's not even funny.
It's not far ahead at all... It's completely out of time. DSTOM is simply referenced as The Album when we talk about Space Time objects. The Universe exist just for the purpose of this album. Thousands of generations died before us just to complete the Great Plan.
I forgot to mention that now we can die, and the Universe can collapse peacefully.
Every sound effect, screech, distortion, boom, crash, voice over, waver of note and woorble, in piano or synth - or any other instrument for that matter - THAT YOU HEAR in todays music has their roots in this album (or other Pick Floyd albums, like WYWH, or Animals, MEDDLE, and The Wall). Anyone of any importance in the music industry will acknowledge the effect and impact this album has had on their own music. PF started it all and did SO MUCH for the future of music in 1972/3 by releasing this album, that its impact will never be fully known or quantified, IMO !!!
Timeless
Garry Iglesias you are tweaking my guy
You have made the REALEST reaction to this album, period.
You are genuine, and we Pink Floyd fans appreciate you. Much love.
😮 nicest comment I’ve gotten in quite a while thanks 😊✌️
Shit brother, took you half the album to understand, welcome to another level subbed waiting for mor floyd!
Nuno Muacho 😃 Peace ✌️ thanks for the sub
no fucking around my friend i like your channel..i had this album when i was like 9 years old love every song this is epic enjoy it...even if u disagree with me i like your chanell your honest...
Every Floyd album is a crazy ride!
It's like you walked into a museum to check out one particular masterpiece, and every little day-to-day thing popped up to distract you. But you hung in there, you put in the time and the effort. Good job.
The greatest album, by the greatest band ever!
No
Not the greatest band..but this is the greatest album!
Eyes closed, a good buzz in a dark room. Love this album. ✌️
Finally. Someone who understands that you need decent headphones to really get the Floyd. Also have another legend on the wall behind you. I've spent countless hours listening to both. Enjoy your journey.
The thing that always amazes me about this album is that the sounds and instrumentation were all produced without computers and digital technology. Plus it flows just beautifully. Pink Floyd is a sonic journey every time. Dave Gilmour is the main singer and guitar player.He’s in his early 70s now & still tours and totally kicks ass!
"It paralyzes time and removes me from my body." were the words I jotted down after listening to this album in its entirety for the first time whilst toasted to the gills on weed and mushrooms. It's a 43 minute long song and one of the most beautiful things ever recorded.
Nick Mason is my very favorite drummer. That rolling beat just on the lazy end of all of the beats, and perfectly healthy fills when needed. Not a show-off. But in the spotlight for sure. I LOVE HIM
Listening to this album one evening, specifically "On the Run", made me question if I was even listening to a song, which led to wonder, what is music anyway? That's what this album is for, pondering the great questions of life. Great video as always 👍
The great thing about this album is you can listen a hundred times and you'll still pull something meaningful from it.
My man your review was spot on. You really couldn't articulate what you were feeling, other than it was emotional and moved you. Thats what music is all about
Stumbled into your reaction saw you were doing Dark Side of the Moon, grabbed my Reposado Tequila sat back and enjoyed the ride. This album never fails to evoke an emotional response as I absorb all the music, lyrics, nuances, and majesty that is DSOTM. This album, along with "Wish You Were Here" achieve the rare feat of displacing time as one listens to it. The music takes you on a journey and you wish it would never end.(the tequila is now in control). Look forward to your next Pink Floyd reaction, you're in for a helluva ride.
Jesse Lobo smile it was a fun ride. Thanks for the time peace ✌️
As someone from that early era it is interesting to witness the context for this guy's listening experience compared to how a lot of us older guys received Pink Floyd back then. For us hallucinogens weren't too far removed as being part of the experience of this genre of music even if we weren't taking while listening. It was about the "trip" Pink Floyd's music was taking us on. In a way, quite naive of us but where I see confusion in this guy's initial take I remember feelings of anticipation and the rush as we experienced our journey down the rabbit hole. And then of course it became about the music and it was sublime and almost unexpected.
Nice reaction to this amazing album! It'd be amazing to see you do their Wish You Were Here album next. Even if you've hear Shine on part 1 already just do it all together when you have time. Their Animals album is amazing too.
If you listen to this on CD or vinyl there aren't any clicks between songs. They transition seamlessly.
Entranced is a good word to describe listening to Pink Floyd!
It makes me so happy to see people experience Pink Floyd.
I love your channel. You do a wider variety of genres and styles than most who make reaction videos. Thank you!
Dark Side of the Moon is one of my all time favorite albums. I smiled when you were saying that is was like "listening to a movie". Did you know that the album syncs up perfectly with The Wizard of Oz? It's crazy!
mindi mccrumb thank you 😊
I know you got beat up for your previous Pink Floyd reviews, but I know you didn't know how passionate the fans are. This album is a masterpiece, and was on the billboard top 200 for 17 years straight!. Longest in history, no one comes close. I hope you are beginning to understand. I know you are still learning..
That emotion you couldn't understand during the song Time. It's known as absolute awesomeness. 🤘👽🤘
Just try not to do it during the guitar solo. Soon as the break hits , stop review then go back a little .Then you never miss anything.Little tip from your uncle Tim. This shit is a classic , very nice.
We'll there 's no legitimate time to stop a Vinyl side... The only break on the blueprint is between the Great Gig and Money... And it's just for you to turn the disc, maybe stretch a little bit, pack his pouf, and that's it.
im so glad you gave this a listen, a lot of the things you said about this album would be great t-shirt quotes for floyd. im glad your videos show how we can stereotype people and place people into groups who only like this music or that music like its a war and we have to fight for our genre when in reality all music is art that can be appreciated by anyone with an open mind. i hate hearing people say this song sucks, that band sucks or this music is inferior about any music even if its not to my tastes, i appreciate the thought that goes into the lyrics for rap and the effort and vocal training that goes into screamo metal even though I'm not fond of many songs in either of those genres i can still see the artists hard work and feeling behind their work. thanks for a great video
jasminejo2424 this comment should be a t shirt ✌️ my thoughts exactly
When you described it made you feel nauseous, think you meant Hypnotised? You're lost forever now.
what a great reaction, this was over three years ago and you didn't get one thumbs down....awesome dude.
Love this album, absolute masterpiece of sound engineering.
Pink Floyd has a lot of variety in their albums. Pink Floyd only recently clicked with me and I've just been binging through their back catalog. I've only heard 5 pink Floyd Albums so far but I'd love a reaction to pink Floyd's album Piper at the gates of dawn
All Pink Floyds albums are fantastic.
If your looking for another Pink Floyd album - Animals
Clare H. Torry (born 29 November 1947) is a British singer, best known for performing the wordless vocals on the song "The Great Gig in the Sky" You go girl!
This album is meant to be listened to in one sitting. It takes you on a trip through life from birth "Breath" to death . You kinda got the jist of it .Best album ever in my opinion. thanks for posting this I enjoy other people's reaction you were taken on a trip through the circle of life.
He is incredibly intelligent to realize on his first listen to just let it go and not speak for the sake of missing whats next.This took me dozens of listens and years...
I really liked this show. Your reaction to the music was sincere. Much of Dark Side of the Moon is what I call floaty music where, you're right, it does affect the body and mind. One could say that the album was a masterfully created piece of art. Looking forward to another album review. 🖤✌
Like the Bowie shirt!
ziggylove9 , Bi ziggylove9, I just got a blue guitar like bowies, and the first song I’m gonna learn to play is Queen Bitch! I’m 59 but nothing will stop me!
Dark Side of the Moon 🌙 will forever be a timeless classic, for an album made in 1973 with no computers, sounds effects and mixed to perfection. On the top 100 billboard for 18 years, absolutely incredible 👏 take a bow Pink Floyd.
Some of the greatest music composition in musical history. Every man women and child should listen to this album, the world would be a better place, no doubt about that at all. ✌️❤
It was engineered by the great Alan Parsons
Great choice and thank you for doing it. Dark side amongst other like albums has so many layers that it does require multiple listening, cause there are so many layers to the album. When concept albums get it right it is totally mind expanding(and exploding). The 1 key that you seem to get is that it is emotion. Its not just lyrics but lyrics with music, with atmosphere and with texture. It is like a sandwich versus an entire meal, so many parts contribute to the whole, which hip hop, IMO, doesn't have the depth to. Now, to find the next mind blower for you, cause who doesn't like to get blown? Lol
loved the video man.. too many people just listening to one song when the album is meant to played as one song...
SUB'D
I think you'd really enjoy "The Wall", the story, in two album form (or motion picture, with all the music) of a British rock musician, his emotional entanglements, estrangements, isolation, and breakdown. If somebody tells you to watch "The Wall" drunk or stoned, don't listen, you'd miss so very many references and so much symbolism.
I really enjoyed that, I will be looking forward to you doing "The Wall" :D
Whether you do it for a video or just for yourself kicking back on the couch, I strongly suggest the Wish You Were Here album in its entirety. It was also made to all blend together and I actually prefer it over dark side of the moon but that’s just my preference. it’s a heavily emotional album and you can really feel every bit of it. Just a suggestion, you won’t regret it
For the folks telling him he shouldn't talk, etc....have you forgotten what hearing this for the first time is really like? It's so different and interesting that you have to share your thoughts right then. We all did it.
Yep, he was reacting and sharing in the moment, for the entire album. A rather heavy dose to not expect someone to speak or breathe to for it's entirety.
I grew up listening to this album on vinyl. It's a masterpiece! My dad has excellent taste in music hahaha it was awesome seeing you listen to something I've loved my entire life. It's crazy to think this album is 15 years older than me, but now generations are loving it from all walks of life
I like how honest you are about not being able to review them on first listen. Its true, you will enjoy it even more in later listens, until it becomes an old friend. Their songs age well.
I love watching you kids discover what we grew up with. My opinion is pink Floyd went a step beyond a concept album right into a sound scape.
Great reaction, even with the tech difficulties! Thanks dude. Saludos de México
Fernando Tena Gutierrez que viva México 🇲🇽!!!!!
420 time
I smoked a bowl while watching Rat. It was a beautiful experience to see Pink Floyd blow his mind. Remembered back to being 6 years old when this album came out and hearing it because of my older brother. 40 odd years later, it still blows my mind, it never get old and the song TIme - has been amazing to grow up with as the decades have passed.
This reaction makes me happy. I'm continued to be blown away that this album was made in 1973. This was some next level shit for it's time and is still next level by today's standards. I hope you do Wish You Were Here album next. In my opinion, it's their best album.
Freakn awesome.. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos. This was incredible my friend. What an awesome review in every regard. :)
Thanks for your time and sub be well Peace ✌️
"I feel like I'm listening to a movie..." may be the finest reaction to this album I've ever heard. Now sync it up with "The Wizard of Oz" to really drive that point home. Seriously. Thanks for your review and your time! One more thought (not directly to this reaction) is how difficult it is for anyone listening to the music of this era to ask the question "What kind of music is this?" Not all music, perhaps even the best music, cannot be so easily categorized. The creative process then was different and people were not trying to compose music in a box, but from a sense of exploration and responding to what was in his or her soul.
I remember about 3 years ago when i was 18 listening to this album in its entirety for the first time (I had already heard breath, time, money, and brain damage), to say it changed my life would be a fair statement. Whenever I'm feeling any sort of emotion, whether it be happiness or sadness, when I play this album from start to finish it just elevates me into a new space, something I can't explain. There are very few albums you can listen from start to finish over and over again with it still feeling fresh, I hope Pink Floyd's music lives on forever.
As you can see, Floyd brings out so many emotions, they take you on a journey. This is one of those albums you need to continue to listen to. The more you hear it, the deeper it takes you. This is what is categorized as Psycadellic Rock, I'm sure you can understand why now. Play it while you drive, play it while you play video games, clean your house or whatever. Take the journey, it will make you better....
