Jackson Futrell on The Dark Side of the Moon

Being one of the most merchandised albums of all time expected a lot from this album, it definitely delivered. One of the most cinematic and emotion shifting rock albums I’ve ever heard. The first few songs seem to take you directly into and through space. Then my favorite song, “Money”, sounded just like what you would expect to be playing at the beginning of a movie about an industrial revolution or workers rebellion. And then the last few songs literally sounded like I was dreaming. In fact the whole album I could’ve been convinced it was just a dream. I also really, really love when albums commit to having each song flowing into the other. It really helps the album feel like a whole unit rather than a collection of songs. It’s hard to believe this album is as old as it is with the sounds and artistry presented. It causes it to be truly timeless. Favorite song? Money
