Pink Floyd, the richly talented Rock group have released their latest CD titled Dark Side Of The Moon and Wow! It"s really a good one.
Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Dark Side Of The Moon is a pleasantly varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They"re all here.
If you"re a Pink Floyd fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.
While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - On the Run, track 4 - The Great Gig In The Sky, and track 7 - Any Colour You Like.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6 - Us And Them. Wow!
