One day several years ago, I went digging through my father's huge shelf of CD's. I found a lot of things I have never grown to like, but I did find this one album. I always liked the cover as a child, but now that I am older, I have come to experience the music. And I will say, if you are a fan of any kind of rock music and do not already own this album, shame on you. The music is simply amazing. Much of it cannot be described in words. The stunning lyrics of "Time" and the addictive beat of "Money" are some highlights of this record. "Us and Them", my personal favorite, begins with gentle drums and trumpet, leading up to soft lyrics, then, before you know it, bursting into a simply stunning chorus. The well-known "Great Gig in the Sky" is something that you must hear. Although no actual lyrics, the woman's voice is amazing. Listening to this song in the dark, late at night, with no other sounds, will put you in a different state of mind. In conclusion, this album, is fantastic, musical, emotionally, and lyrically.

Recommended Tracks (All of them are nearly perfect, these are just my personal favorites):
-Time
-Money
-Us and Them
-Brain Damage
-Great Gig In The Sky

Overall Rating: 5/5

Your Cd reviews should be somewhat close to this format and length. Track-by-tracks are fine as well. The reviews should not be quite as short as Rate your Music reviews, but do not need to be as long as Sputnik Music reviews. Thanks for reading this, and thanks for all the contributions
