Album-concept parfait, quintessence de l'art des Pink Floyd, "Dark side Of The Moon" est une oeuvre magistrale sur laquelle on ne peut faire de véritable reproche. Au contraire, reconnaissons-lui à sa juste valeur toutes ses qualités : originalité, virtuosité, magie. Puissance de sensations sur "Great gig in the sky", envolées mystiques sur "Any colour you like", flamboyance grandiose sur le final "Eclipse", véritable couleur sensible sur "Us and them", et merveille purement progressive sur le mythique "Time". Et que les obtus pour qui le succès est nécessairement un délit pardonnent enfin à "The dark side of the moon" son immense impact. (MUSICWAVES)
