it's great, but GOAT? i dont know... "us and them" drags on a little too long... "any colour you like" is a throwaway tune, imo.... there are many other albums by other artists where every tune is a classic...

Not even the best jazz rock album of all time.

Memes aside, there's no such thing. I know that really triggers you since you're a teenager and all that and something has to be THA BEST.

>>70941822
everything from Pink Floyd is really good. until this album. it sucks and it's the beginning of the end.

>>70942369
Maximum contrarian

>>70941822
Not even in the top 500 if I'm being totally honest. Not that there is a canonized greatest album of all time, but if there was it definitely wouldn't be Dsotm. Besides Piper blows that era of PF out if the water.

>>70941822
>Implying it's even good

The Wall is better.

Not even the best prog album of all time.
DSOTM is overrated as fuck. It's a prog album with a pop fanbase. That's fine, but it gives room for undeserving hype.

THIS is the best prog album of all time, and If someone argued best album, I wouldn't combat them too much on it.

>>70942479
Nah senpai, there isn't any actual greatest prog album. ITCOTCK is arguably the most influential prog album, not to mention of the most influential albums in general, but even King Crimson fans often prefer Lark's Tongue and Red to it. You also have stellar bands with stellar albums like Genesis, Gentle Giant, and Van Der Graaf Generator to put them up against.

>"DSOTM is overrated as fuck"
>posts ITCOTKC

it's an amazing album but all forms of art are by their very nature subjective so it's impossible to be objectively good

>>70942479
It's an important prog album but I personally prefer Yes' Close To the Edge.

If we stretch the definition of progressive rock to include "krautrock" then we have an entire school of albums to choose over this one. NEU!, Tago Mago, Future Days, Faust, etc. would all be good choices.

>>70942514
I agree that there isn't an objective best, but I'd fight tooth and nail over INCOTCK, partly for being as influential as it was. I love Lark's Tongue, Red, ITWOP, Discipline, but I still think INCOTCK is the insurmountable king of Prog. There just isn't a week moment on it for me, and the scale of some of the longer cuts make it even better.

>>70942542
>pretending that ITCOTKC is anywhere near as popular as DSOTM

>>70942638
Same anon you replied too, if we did stretch the definition, then we'd reach my favorite album of all time which is Faust's self-titled, but I would barely even affiliate an album like DSOTM with most Krautrock.

>>70942479
>Not even the best prog album of all time.
That's because it's not really prog

Nice false equivalency though

Faust's debut is amazing. I really don't understand how it was so underapptrciated for so long...

If we continue the exercise into the Canturbery Scene we get two of my favorites, Soft Machine's Third and Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom. Both are utterly beautiful jazz rock albums.

it's a good album, nothing more

>>70942913
I appreciate how straightforward and unpretentious it is, especially for prog rock.

>>70942894
I don't think the later ones are garbage, but I do think that you're correct thinking that the older ones are superior. Way more interesting, especially among what was around at the time.

>>70941822
It's a solid 6/10
nothing more, nothing less

>>70941822
It's the worst of PF's mid 70s prog albums, with WYWH, Animals and Meddle all being better. That said, it's not a bad record. Solid 7.5, maybe an 8.

This is one of the best rock albums of all time.

Anyone who says otherwise is just being contrarian or is just overexposed to it.

>>70944234
I was unaware the "best" means "boring"

>>70941822
Its a through and through snooze-fest, perhaps I got my expectations a little too high after listening to their previous albums Ecoehs and Obscured by Clouds, though the first three tracks just seem like random samples with no real direction. Then it gets to Time and Great Gig in the Sky (both brilliant songs) and the quality sharply increases, before decreasing on Money which, again, is a bit boring and sounds like something you'd play whilst shopping at IKEA. The rest of the album doesn't do much save for the part where they talk about Syd Barret and close the thing off.

I actually agree with you anon. Almost muzak. No interest to the concept, not engaging, and not even virtuous playing that makes it fun or something.

every colour you like isnt as such a throwaway tune, just one where they could have used a different chord pattern but with the same concepts and structure

>>70941822
5/10 at best, really. It just feels so empty, like there needs to be 2-3 more instruments playing at any given time. I found it kinda boring. That, and horrible sound effects/samples

It's literally filler mate and shit one at that.

Its the only pink Floyd album that I have listened to completely.
Anyone recommend any other albums by them?

Not really this album is so slow and boring that its painful musically its simple and boring vocals aren't great and the content is unoriginal

>>70945883
listen to them cronologically (skip the soundtracks)

>>70945883
If you liked it listen to Wish You Were Here and if you want more songs with philosophical lyrics/meaning listen to Animals. You should also listen to "Echoes" song on the Meddle album (about 25 minutes long) and if you prefer that over Animals and WYWH stuff check out Saucerful Of Secrets, Meddle as a whole and possibly Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Couldn't agree more. Piper at the Gates of Dawn was made by a person on the edge of insanity. You would basically have to be Syd Barrett to understand what the fuck is going on with it. But hey, to each their own I guess

>>70945999
It took WAY too long for this to be posted. /mu/ doesnt like fun anymore.

You do realise that good music doesn't have to be complex, right? That's what I love about Gilmour-era Pink Floyd. Their compositions are fairly simple but it packs a punch both lyrically and musically.

This, I think paul mccartney summarizes it best by saying that the wackiness of sgt. pepper still holds up and that was a review in like the 80's or something. If you don't think this is one of the best albums of all time, if not the best album of all time you're literally just being a contrarian.

>>70947370
>If you don't think this is one of the best albums of all time, if not the best album of all time you're literally just being a contrarian.

I wouldnt consider myself a contrarian hell far from it, but i truly dont see what is so great about this album. I'd take Rubber Sould, Revolver, MMT, Abbey Road above it anyday.

Plus Pet Sounds is better.
