How come a 6/10 album is so widely acclaimed?

You're right, it's a 3/10.

I always think Dark Side of the Moon is overrated until I relisten to it then I realize it's probably underrated.
The fact rolling Stone didn't rank it in the top 20 of the 500 greatest albums of all time is bullshit. At least in terms of mainstream music, it's one of the greatest of all time.

I like your digits, OP. However the reason it's so acclaimed is that the biggest record company decided to promote it heavily in a period where record companies had all the power. People have a tendency to like 6/10 albums and by sheer numbers due to promotion it gets memed as the best record ever.

This is the real 6/10. DSotM is a 8/10

>>70574444
quads confirm
this isn't their best but definitely their most popular

I think it's overrated but it's still a great album.

>>70574537
thats 7.5/10

>>70574944
>talking in ridiculous hyperbole, style over substance bullshit to support their own argument
I'll only fuck off if you kill yourself and your stupid childish ilk. DSOTM is a busy as fuck record, but everything done subtly so it's all cohesive and not wank nor boring.

>>70574444

Normies ruined this album for me. Everytime I think about it now I think of rage comics and 9gag.

because bro you gotta SMOKE WEED first!

just listened to it for the first time.
and it was surprisingly thin sounding considering i've heard so much about the crazy good production.
i think everyone is just talking about the extreme panning of the guitar and sound effects which is a fairly lazy way of creating clarity on a track, definitely over used on DSotM

overall i would say it sounds like the Beatles if they were trying to be edgy
3/10

Its good and all but Atom Heart Mother is better

>>70575108
thats why people rate it low now, because of the entry level children who cant be arsed to listen to meddle or patgod

>>70574444
It was pretty ground breaking for it's time and it sounds fantastic on acid, which didn't hurt since it was released at the height of the LSD craze. II think it was on the top 100 charts for over 20 years.

>>70574937
...But then you remember that Rolling Stone ranked it as the #1 greatest prog album of all time, above fucking ItCotCK and Foxtrot, and you realize that it is overrated as fuck and Rolling Stone is retarded.

Seriously, it's not even prog!

>>70575770
It's better than Foxtrot, but not as good as ITCOTCK.
7.5/10. Maybe 4th or 5th best Floyd album.

>>70575328
You talk like a fucking idiot.
>thin sounding
maybe try listening to music on something that isn't your iphone speaker?
>i think everyone is just talking about the extreme panning of the guitar and sound effects which is a fairly lazy way of creating clarity on a track, definitely over used on DSotM
The technology to create a unique sound is used brilliantly and their is hardly an overuse of panning. The brilliance of the production is the way every instrument works together in such elegance to create a beautiful sound.

>overall i would say it sounds like the Beatles if they were trying to be edgy
this is something I would expect a 14 y/o to say. Listen to more music, and especially listen to more Pink Floyd.

>>70575136

I definitely think it's better than any record released in the progressive rock genre. That being said, DSOTM is definitely not prog, it's art rock.

>>70574444
It was cutting edge, but still melodic, catchy as fuck and easily accessible for plebes. Constant rotation on classic rock radio for all of the tracks except Speak to Me, On the Run and Any Colour You Like, only threw fuel on the fire. Not their best effort, but still, it's a solid album. 8/10

I don't care for meaningless wank sections in popular music. It just sounds like a disingenuous attempt at some kind of dumb classical/jazz "influence".

Supper's Ready is better than anything King Crimson ever did, or ever could do.

>>70576037
>I definitely think it's better than any record released in the progressive rock genre.
not even the best Floyd album

The fact that it's the only thing about PF normies know about, bugs me really bad. Also when people call it the best prog album ever.

>>70576227
lol, see >>70576037

it bugs me normies have never heard such masterpieces as echoes or dogs

>>70576166

Stop pls

It is not even a 6/10, I'd rate it 3/10.
So bland.

>>70576166
I love Genesis but King Crimson in every lineup had infinitely more talent and made much better music than Genesis

>>70576166
This. The funny thing is that SR is only the second-best track on Foxtrot.

>>70576134
>>70576172
>>70576259
Like I said >>70576143, I am not interested in long instrumental wanks that aren't all that interesting. It's like some shit attempt at adapting classical/jazz forms without understanding what makes them work.

>>70576259
>have people over chilling around a fire in my back yard
>listening to Meddle

>they say it doesn't sound like Pink Floyd
I have never lost a buzz that fast ever.

Prime example of /mu/ hiveminding against something because it's very popular. Le reddit teenagers like it, must be bad! Sold 40 million, must be bad! So they'll listen to it with this cognitive bias and won't like it.

But in reality this album is good enough to be /mu/core, but then again /mu/core was never about quality, which is why King Krimson and their 15 minute triangle solos are held in higher regard. Don't mind me, I'll just continue listening to music that makes my ears feel good.

that has nothing to do with growing up, what the fuck are you talking about

>>70576903
It's in teen's nature to try to be as contrarian and edgy as possible, for example by shitting widely acclaimed albums, hence the grow up part

>>70576903
and how many years later than dsotm did art angels come out?

Everyone listens to Dark Side early on. Some use it as a stepping stone in to more complex, serious music, some just continue to listen to The Beatles and Lady Gaga.

>>70574444
Nice quads my guy

Insecure or genuinely deaf?

On the Run was done with a bank of many reel to reel tape players with multiple people starting and stopping them at the precise time. Now Grimes can do that with Protools in her bedroom while she attempts to pop that troublesome pimple on her chin.

>One of These Days
>Fearless
>throwaway tracks

Literally eat a dick

It's honestly the third or fourth best album in their discography but Pink Floyd loved to tinker with new technology as a way of furthering their sound, and DSotM did that better than any of their other albums. It might sound dated today because so many production techniques they used are now considered fundamental in a lot of genres, but they were doing this shit like 50 years ago.

I personally think Meddle and Animals are both better, but to call DSotM a 6/10 is pure bait. Any Colour You Like is literally the perfect psychedelic rock song. Nobody before or since has done it better.

>>70574444
you find albums get more acclaim by having a popular census of being ok at the worst, then being praised by an obscure fandom

DsotM was one of those albums nearly anyone who listened to it thought was at least ok

>>70576393
Actually this. DSoTM is the Undertale of music. It's a great album brought down by it's pretentious and annoying following. To be quite honest with you I don't care about the details that were put into it, and I recognize that the only time the bass worked is in Money because it's entirely forgettable the rest of the album. It's not a DEEP album, it has good production values and is friendly prog-psy so many people can listen to it without feeling annoyed.

The reason why I like it and I consider it to be at least an 8/10 it's because it simply sounds good. Not even as psy or prog because its composition is rather simple, but its a hella good rock album. Have you ever heard something and while taking apart memedom and level of composition thought to yourself "this sounds nice"? I do, that's why I listen to many genres and don't care about how DEEP or COMPLEX they are. DSoTM is an album that I can always hear without feeling overwhelmed because the real way to enjoy it is by paying attention to every little tiny detail there is so I don't lose track of the proggresion.

tl;dr: yeah it has a rather simple composition but it just sounds good from start to finish.

>>70580955
Best part is, Pink Floyd has perfected that "deep" not in DSotM plenty of times.

>>70576393
Except there's plenty of widely acclaimed, bestselling music that I do like. I just don't happen to care for DSotM. It's almost like music is subjective.

I listened to DSOTM a few weeks ago for the first time. I mostly listen to electronic music like house, techno, ambient and experimental, and had never seriously listened to rock before hearing it. I was expecting it to be overrated crap because of what /mu/ said about it, but i was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it and would give it an easy 9/10. I honestly think its acclaim is well deserved. Keep in mind that i listened to DSOTM without the influence of having listened to a lot of other rock or prog, so i critique it as it stands on its own, with no other influences.

imo its an 8/10

nowhere near one of the best albums every but still pretty great
