The Dark Side of the Moon: Difference between revisions

m
m (revise quote template spacing)
Line 17:
* [[Cover Version]]: Several bands, including [[Phish]], the [[Flaming Lips]] and [[Dream Theater]], have covered ''the entire album''.
** Easy Star Records also released a [[Better Than It Sounds|reggae]] version called ''Dub Side of the Moon''.
** Brian Ibbott's first full-album episode of the Coverville podcast was called "The Covered Side Of The Moon". <ref>In a shout out to the [[Urban Legend]] mentioned below, he noted that his all-cover version would synchronize to [[The Wiz]].</ref>
* [[Dark Reprise]]: "Breathe (Reprise)", which comes in just after "Time". Compared to the relaxed, airy "Breathe", the reprise has a more tired, worn-out tempo.
* [[Epic Instrumental Opener]]: "Time". The instrumentals themselves could count.
Line 26:
** "Eclipse": "And everything under the sun is in tune / but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."
* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: Besides "The Great Gig in the Sky" -> "Money" (since on vinyl, they were in different sides), the transition between songs is seamless.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: All of the sound motifs <ref> The laughing in "Brain Damage", the ticking clock in "Time", the cash register in "Money", and the heartbeat from the end of "Eclipse"</ref> are played together in "Speak to Me" before being featured individually in later songs.
* [[Heartbeat Soundtrack]]
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]
** Some of the quotes that appear and reappear on the album feature people's answers to the question "Did you ever have a fight and were you in your right?" Everyone automatically believes he or she was in their right.
** "Us & Them" is an entire plea against human conflicts for what are generally stupid reasons.
Line 41:
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "Don't give me that do goody-good bullshit!"
* [[Pyramid Power]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] with the cover art, as well as the accompanying poster and stickers.
* [[Rainbow Lite]]: The prism's rainbow doesn't have indigo in it. [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]], as it turns out--theout—the album's central motif is madness and a sense that something is incomplete.
* [[Sanity Slippage Song]]: "Brain Damage"
* [[Spoken Word in Music]]: Some songs include samples of people talking, who were answering questions such as "When was the last time you were violent?", "Were you in the right?", "Are you afraid of death?" or "What is the dark side of the moon?". Among the people interviewed were [[Paul McCartney]] and his wife Linda, but their answers weren't used as the band thought they were too generic - Paul's [[Wings (band)|Wings]] bandmate Denny Laine supplied the "I dunno, I was really drunk at the time" heard in the transition between "Money" and "Us and Them".
