forgetting all the hype and the baggage, all the connotations and the influence, what do you guys think of this album? It was the first album I listened to and I've come back a lot to it, with my opinion fluctuating madly. What do you guys like or dislike about it?
I saw the laser show, it was pretty good.
It's a great album. Saying otherwise is just plain dumb. An album by 4 very talented musicians who when working together at a very creative time in their lives made an inherent masterpiece. I particularly like Richard Wright's contributions.

dude weed lmao
Legitimately not that good. Not even in the top 5 Pink Floyd albums.

name 5
it's a super dated album that was released at the right time, which explains it's success. Animals, Piper, Meddle, and Wish You Were Here are all far superior. Would still give DSotM a solid 7/10 though, it's just Money -> Any Colour You Like is pretty meh.

Hipgnosis presented about 4 or 5 ideas to the band. They went "Uh uh, that one."
Richard Wright had asked for something bold and dramatic.

Contrarians do their best to devalue it because it's one of the most recognizable and iconic albums. Easily a top 25 of all time, and it's universally lauded for a reason. How can you listen to Side A and not give them SO much credit?

Only liked two songs, but I consider them 10/10
About 80% of it is average to meh tier.
