bluefox4000 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I played dark Side earlier. still up there with one of the best sounding records ever made. songs kick ass too. Mick People were saying The Wall is something that they can put on anytime earlier. That's my experience with DSOTM. I don't have to be in the mood for it, I don't need it to sweep me away, I don't have any prerequisites for putting it on. It practically plays itself when I play it. It fits pretty much any mood I'm in. DSOTM is perfect. like you said an any mood album for me. i have to be super depressed to enjoy the Wall....and that's kinda awful. More so than the Final cut Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I sympathize with Segue too. i've often in the minority here too......quite often, lol but embrace it. it's makes you......um....you, lol Mick I'd love to actually have lengthy chats with people who obsess over Paradise Lost or HIM. But...my days...the fans I find...cringe... Reminds me of visiting the Muse boards (though not half as obscure). They're all so set in their ways and stuffy about their fandom that they practically don't talk unless new music comes out, and then they just criticize. Makes me glad I got my dad into Muse. Sorry, just trying to relate. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really more like watching a depressing movie than listening to an album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I prefer the Syd Barrett years, along with the most experimental, improvisatory stuff up to DSotM. Then the tempos turned to sludge and the lyrics were dreary. Piper at the Gates of Dawn stills sounds as fresh as when I first heard it. Lucifer Sam kicks ass.

It's really more like watching a depressing movie than listening to an album. Other than a few of the songs, the "hits," essentially, the songs all pretty much rely on their context for their value. The only one that I don't think fits at all is Vera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I pretty much dig them all, but have to be in the mood. The Wall and Division Bell are two I can listen to pretty much anytime. Stop over and we'll get in the mood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One great thing about the hits is that they actually make way more sense, lyrically and musically, in context here, and I think they're much more awesome in context. Like Comfortably Numb is a great song and all, but it has so much more weight when I picture what's actually going on with the character at that point in the story and how this isn't at all what he needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the live albums I most enjoy are the Wembley set from the Dark Side deluxe edition, and Is There Anybody Out There. The songs seem a little out of place on The Delicate Sound of Thunder and Pulse (although not the Dark Side stuff of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side 1 on Pulse isn't what the actual set lists were, it was a mixture of a bunch of different first sets from the tour. The concert DVD's first set is maybe half equal to the live album's. I agree that shoving Hey You in between a couple of songs from The Division Bell is a bit odd, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
