Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon (1978)
I didn't have a great response to The Wall, which was the first Pink Floyd album I've ever listened to in its entirety. Two words from that review that really stick out for me are obtuse and whiny. That was a shame, because I had previously heard some of the music from that album and liked it. Same is true with today's subject, a predecesor of The Wall, which I am reviewing now. Hopefully I won't have as sour an experience this time.

New Title
Hey faithful readers! You may have noticed I changed the title of my blog. I did this because I noticed I was getting the occasional hit from Germany, Brazil, or wherever. These probably came from people flipping through random blogger pages or people surfing Google. If they saw my old title they'd have no idea what my blog is about. I kinda liked my old title because it flowed nicely, but the new title is certainly more descriptive of what I'm doing with the blog.

My 100th Review Flashback!
(originally
posted on Facebook)
In honor of a
completely arbitrary accomplishment I've decided to take a look back
at my musical journey. Coincidentally after 100 reviews I am about 1
year into my project. This does not bode well for my progress, as 100
reviews out of a planned 1,032 is hardly progress at all. I hate
doing the math on my time frame and thinking I won't finish this
project until I'm 40. I also hate to think that new issues of the
"1,001 Albums To Hear Before You Die" list will add yet
more albums to the total, and I'll just be doing stupid music reviews
for the rest of my life.
