Album: Dark Side Of The Moon
Genre: Progressive Rock/ Psychedelia
Release Date: March 1, 1973
Description: The album is as much a journey for the listener as it is for the cast of characters the music weaves through it's many instrumental melodies and harmonies. The music tells a story of a man going through his struggle of fighting the societal turmoil of conforming to the means of a regime and their doctrine or way. The character learns of what is essentially two mental status in which he fights between in his conscious mind. One being his warped sense of reality and purpose of the regime and the other his own true personality that is slowly being taken away and covered by this "dark side of the moon" or his "new warped personality" that is taking over. This all leads to a very similar idea much like 1984 and also the 1984 ad from Apple Computer. He fights so hard to break his tether to this new rule and regime but in the end realizes his mind is not strong enough to break free of this and ultimately gives onto it in saying "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon..."
Favorite track: Us and Them
Reason: The Melodic journey the saxophone brings you on tells you of our character really exploring his own consciousness and how he is starting his transformation of mind and personality to conform to the regime's ways while also trying to enjoy his last days being of individual personality and mindset.
Album Rating 9.5/10
Definitely a must for everyone to hear and explore their own mind. Great melodies, excellent instrumental composure, and the vocal harmonies send you on a journey to places your mind has never been.
