I felt as if "Money" breaks with the whole darker feeling that the album has. The best tracks imo are "On the Run" and "The Great Gig in the Sky".

This was great! Makes me not hate that song for being overplayed to death. DSOTM and Floyd in general gets hurt by overplayed tracks that drown out the rest of the material. Any Colour You Like, Waiting for the Worms with the great ending interlude Stop, the entire Animals and The Final Cut albums; those are timeless pieces of music.

Money has always been my favorite Pink Floyd song, I feel violated after listening to this version. :(

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

I like Pink Floyd. I like the Flaming Lips. I hate this album.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

Well, at least the Flaming Lips know that the album is called The Dark Side of the Moon.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

Yeah, those were both painful.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

So... is this an iTunes exclusive or is there a physical release available? It's not listed on amazon.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

Just a download for now.

hell yes. the version of "time" is amazing.
OT these songs suck. they have really fallen hard after yoshimi.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

So, I bought the album on iTunes, which goes against my morals, but the wife had some extra credit that she wasn't planning to use.

Anyway, I really like it. It's a fantastic re-interpretation of the original. On The Run might be my favourite song right now. I'm even warming up to their version of Money...

I look at it this way: If the members of Pink Floyd were all in their late 20's in 2009, instead of 1972 and 1973, the album would obviously not sound the same as the 1973 version we all know and love. I think The Flaming Lips went into this project asking themselves "How would it sound today?" and I think they did a better job than anyone else would have. In that regard, I think it's a great album.

:shrug:

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

I agree with everything you said there. I think it's cool to cover an entire album and I don't know of any other band who could do a better job than The Flaming Lips. They have a history with that album and think they did a great job at reimagining it.

By the way, the NYE show was pretty amazing. Seeing this album done live was fantastic. The performance of "Us and Them" was one of the greatest music moments I've ever witnessed.

Oh, and Steven really pulled out the bad-ass on "The Great Gig in the Sky."

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

The clips sound like shit.

I'm with the OP.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

I really enjoyed hearing their fresh takes on the songs, I doubt I'll listen to it that often but I thought they did a great job in covering such a monumental album.

Re: The Flaming Lips musically defecate on "Dark Side of the Moon"
 

I'm glad someone posted these I wouldn't have discovered them otherwise.
Interesting versions...

Yeah everyone is entitled to vandalized their idols. I do it all the time in my room ;)
