Still a masterpiece

This album is adored by so many for good reason. It is surely the most significant early pioneer of headphone-immersion rock appreciation. When listening to DSotM I can easily picture the long-haired, British youth, stoned, sitting on a beanbag alone in their bedroom, with headphones plugged in, wearing their 70s t-shirt and flared jeans.

While I much prefer Wish You Were Here there’s no denying that this is the peak in album production for its era.

Incredible psychedelic album. The production while at the time groundbreaking is slightly dated, but the otherworldly songwriting makes up for it. This is an absolute masterpiece and a true landmark of psychedelic rock.

Great album.

A strong concept album that flows beautifully from track to track making this one of the most seamless records ever created. As soon as the music starts you are engrossed in this atmosphere which feels timeless as it is still just as captivating to this day. The atmosphere they create on here is so good that you never tire of it which results in me on several occasions just restarting this album as soon as it finishes. Another major contributing factor to this is just how well the group play along the line of complex and accessible. They seem to capture this perfect balance between the two which results in an album that is so easy to get into but it also has the ability to make you constantly come back as there is so much quality to explore. Amongst the stuff you can properly dive into is the instrumentation and the lyrics with both of them being fantastic. Instrumentally, this is a very strong release with the drums, organ, piano and guitars being truly exceptional. Then we have the lyrics where they go into themes of materialism, time, death, mental illness and many more. All of these are wrote about in an intelligent and educated way that makes it relatable to the listener and almost forces them to question their entire life. Overall, while I do not believe this is their greatest record it is probably the most important one in their history and it still has so much quality that it has now become a timeless classic.

A record that is somehow both experimental and mainstream. That is adored by audiophiles and yet also had such extreme popular appeal that it sold 50 million copies while having only one moderately successful single. A concept album where each song flows into one another almost seamlessly, and where almost every single song (except On the Run) is brilliant. You only need to look at the ratings here for each song. Its nearly all in the 90s. Nuts.

Somehow its still not Floyd's best. But it is a 100/100

Fantastic concept album and one of the greatest records of all time. Beautiful to listen to while on a train ride.
