HMV Review

By condensing the sonic explorations of Meddle to actual songs and adding a lush, immaculate production to their trippiest instrumental sections, Pink Floyd inadvertently designed their commercial breakthrough with Dark Side of the Moon. The primary revelation of Dark Side of the Moon is what a little focus does for the band. Roger Waters wrote a series of songs about mundane, everyday details which aren't that impressive by themselves, but when given the sonic backdrop of Floyd's slow, atmospheric soundscapes and carefully placed sound effects, they achieve an emotional resonance. But what gives the album true power is the subtly textured music, which evolves from ponderous, neo-psychedelic art rock to jazz fusion and blues-rock before turning back to psychedelia. It's dense with detail, but leisurely paced, creating its own dark, haunting world. Pink Floyd may have better albums than Dark Side of the Moon, but no other record defines them quite as well as this one. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    ちょっと中途半端な感じを受けるボックスセット。満足度は60%くらいか? このアルバムは世界各地でのツアーを通して出来上がっていった作品だと思います。その制作過程がのぞき見れる物を期待したが、内容は完成型ばかり...... 変な布とかボールとかはいらない。 コンサート会場で配布された『月の裏側』の歌詞カードとチケット半券を入れるには丁度いいか  マイルスのBOX等参考に制作して欲しい

    内容は,ほぼ満足した。 でも,16,000円という高額商品としては,評価できない。 なんといっても,日本語ブックレットが貧弱すぎるぞ。 輸入版との価格差の価値なし! 少し迷ったけと,炎コレクターズボックスの国内版はキャンセルした。 当時の狂気のライヴ映像はないの?出し惜しみじゃないの?

    輸入盤を購入、おまけたっぷり。 内容に関してはマニア向け、楽しんでおります。 特にスタジオ盤より10分も長いライブはお気に入り。 特に後半はグーな演奏、しかしラストがあっさりし過ぎか? 採点は本アルバムに関しては、星5つ。 マニア以外なら、ライブとの2枚組がお薦め。
