1973's Pink Floyd record The Dark Side of the Moon is easily one of the most famous albums of all-time, toting what is perhaps the most recognizable cover art ever concocted. Its 10 tracks (or 9, if you're old-school) tell a deeply human tale, celebrating the ups and downs of life with some of the most vivid and emotional rock lyrics ever constructed, all within a progressive rock framework that sounds like it was written and recorded yesterday. Of course, it wasn't. It's a nearly 50 year old work of art, now. That's what makes it so special, and why we're so eager to gush about the wonderful work of Gilmour, Waters, Mason, and Wright. So hit play.

You weren’t lying when you said I was gonna love this week’s episode. This is in my top 3 albums ever

Jacob R.

Least overrated album ever

Stephen King

Oh damn, wasn't expecting this...can't wait to listen! Just tell me now though...does this podcast sync up properly with the Wizard of Oz?

Adam Rogers

I'm sure I missed it said somewhere, but what happened to Lost Season 3?

Frank G.

Oh my fucking God I didn't even see the thread for the questions. All I gotta say, the great gig in the sky one of my absolute favorite songs ever, accompanied with "Time". This album will never be overrated or underrated its as iconic as the album cover makes it seem even if you're not a pink floyd fan you gotta admit that cover could be a flag for a nation. Classic shit just heard it 2 days ago, I adore it.

Colin - curious as to whether you’ve read “This Is Your Brain On Music” by Daniel J. Levitin. He’s a music producer turned neuroscientist who explores the place of music in evolution and the mind. Based on some of the things you mentioned in this podcast, I think you’d quite enjoy if you haven’t read it already!

Jeremy Craves

I’ve done a lot of LSD. Highly recommend it for everyone, though, some people will lose their minds. I knew twin brothers that had schizophrenia in their family history. LSD seemed to unleash it, sadly. Good luck!

Will Hahn

Wish you were here is a great track. However… I haven’t listened to any others on the album… I’m gonna have to listen to it now. Great stuff, guys!

Dakota Brown

This is such a classic, influential album. Great job covering it! This episode made me revisit the album while working today. It definitely made me stop working to really pay attention to the small details at certain points. I think you can hear some proto-dubstep sounds in “On the Run.”

Jordan Falduto

We've been trying to contact you about the extended warranty on your Lost Season 3 on Knockback

Gareth Handa

Wow, my first KnockBack and what an episode! I nodded in agreement at almost everything. Certainly going to go back and listen to older episodes. Seen Roger Waters 4 times live and David Gilmore once. I love this album and especially Time. Nothing beats listening to Pink Floyd with nobody about, on loud and with your eyes closed!

Mitchell Lundsberg

I’ve been loving the album knockbacks. I still have to listen to the recent sgt. peppers episode. I think brain damage might be about syd Barrett. I certainly know some songs on wish you were here are about Syd. I keep forgetting how great dark side is, it certainly feels like the music exists in a space unto itself.

Rich Price

Colin is dead right about Time, you have to be certain age in order for hit you fully I think the line “No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun” is ironic. People *did* tell you to run, the world was telling you to run the whole time, you just lacked the capacity to understand it until it was too late.

Frank G.

Oh I see. I didn't know

LinkaFresh

About 5 years back my buddy and I made a friendly bet that the loser had to sing the great gig in the sky at a major karaoke bar. This happened on a Saturday night prime time stage setting. It was a good laugh to say the least.

Josh Correa

I agree 100% David Gilmour is a genius definitely one of the greatest musicians ever. You guys have to listen to his live albums especially Live in Gdańsk.

Omar Rosa

Great episode. You guys will have to do The Wall as well.

Whitewinwolf

Time is such an amazing song I appreciate the lyrics everytime I listen to it, plus the guitar solo is god tier. Overall the whole album is a masterpiece

Tony LaMacchia

Love these music episodes. I disagree that foam padding is needed for great recordings. Till the levee breaks iconic drum sound was achieved in a castle hallway. Blood,sugar,sex,magick is recorded in the mansion where Jimi Hendrix recorded amongst others. Checkout “Funky Monks” documentary on the making of that album. Most of it is recorded in living rooms, hallways and even outside on a hillside! Looking forward to your next review!

Jakob Podstawek

I decided to listen to this album again. Really is a breath taking audile journey. Then I got to Eclipse and realised I have heard the song recently. Ended up being remade for the first 'Dune Part 1' trailer. Such a poetic use of their music and having a choir adds an eeriness to it. Link for any who want to listen to it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n9xhJrPXop4 Great episode gents

Sam Dunham

I love Dark Side of the Moon, but Wish You Were Here is, in my humble opinion, a better album. Hands down. Because of this Knockback, I did a lengthy Pink Floyd listen-a-thon this weekend. I listened to Dark Side, WYWH, The Final Cut, and A Momentary Lapse of Reason back to back to back to back. What really stuck out to me was how sonically hollow Gilmour's vocals are on Momentary Lapse. Compared to other Floyd albums, his vocals don't mesh with the music that surrounds them. The other thing that stuck out was a reminder of just how much TFC was a Roger Waters album instead of a Pink Floyd album. If you've ever heard Waters' solo releases (especially the outstanding Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking), you'd be hard pressed to separate TFC from his solo work. Except for the amazing sax work by David Sanborn on Hitchhiker and the telltale guitars by Clapton. On a related note, check out the Polyphonic YouTube channel. He's currently doing a new episode for each track on WYWH. Great stuff.
