^yeah understandable, the wall was one hell of a 'wake up' album for a generation finally feeling the hangover for their actions, but man, the album felt so just..flat. especially for Floyd.

The other albums had some nice melodies imo (though i havent' heard them all), but none with the paralells of Darkside - noninclusive of the whole Wizard of Oz synchronizations. Did you know that every single song, every single lyric - even the order and the transitions of the songs on Dark Side can all be interpreted 3 ways? Did you know that entire album from start to finish is an intricately woven metaphor? The organic elements on that album??? wow. Think of the genius that it takes to orchestrate all that - and to somehow fit it all into sound and song format is sheer brilliance.

Dark Side was a snap shot in time of such a rare harmonic balance of so many elements and of a unified group all aligned at just the right moment in social-time that there will never be another album like Dark Side of the Moon
