You've Never Heard 'Dark Side of the Moon'?!
Over the years, I've willingly read about Pink Floyd 's Syd Barrett and all of his craziness, which to me has always seemed more interesting than anything I've heard from the band. But truthfully, I've only heard the handful of songs that play on classic-rock stations ("Money," "Wish You Were Here," "Another Brick in the Wall"), all of which have usually been edited down to fit a three-minute radio spot.
Dark Side of the Moon seems more like something you have to listen to in its entirety, looking to have some sort of "experience" with it or to make a connection — not only with the artist who made the album, but with other listeners who enjoy it. I've never really had that with a record or felt the need for it. By the time I was past my boy-band phase in the mid-'90s, the idea of the album was somewhere between waning and obsolete. I and others my age were all about buying singles from Sam Goody's by bands no one would ever hear from again, like the Danish duo S.O.A.P. Remember them? Today, I think the average music listener around my age would rather buy the hits off of iTunes than invest in a whole album.
I admittedly had preconceived notions that Pink Floyd was just a psychedelic jam band whose songs drag on too long — songs that (I thought) say little and are in need of editing. As I listened to the opening cut, "Speak to Me," I kept checking to make sure my headphones were working. But once the subtle shrieks of "Breathe in the Air" and the whirling propellers of "On the Run" kicked in, I stopped caring about what track number I was on and started to get carried away. What I heard was an honest portrayal of life and death — something much more sincere and inspired than I expected.
there's this sense of hope. Of course it's completely false, since everyone knows that "there is no dark side of the moon — matter of fact, it's all dark," but somehow, it still feels comforting. I'm not surprised that people of every generation have felt a kinship with the band. But when I'm feeling down or confused, I tend to go to introspective singer-songwriters who take a more bare-bones approach. The Bob Dylans. The Conor Obersts.Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - News

Review & Description
Musical Drama based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's celebrated musical phenomenon. The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of a disfigured musical genius (Gerard Butler) who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera, waging a reign of terror over its occupants. When he falls fatally in love with the lovely Christine (Emmy Rossum), the Phantom devotes himself to creating a new star for the Opera, exerting a strange sense of control over the young soprano as he nurtures her extraordinary talents.Although it's not as bold as Oscar darling Chicago , The Phantom of the Opera continues the resuscitation of the movie musical with a faithful adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's blockbuster stage musical. Emmy Rossum glows in a breakout role as opera ingénue Christine Daae, and if phantom Gerard Butler isn't Rossum's match vocally, he does convey menace and sensuality in such numbers as "The Music of the Night." The most experienced musical theater veteran in the cast, romantic lead Patrick Wilson, sings sweetly but seems wooden. The biggest name in the cast, Minnie Driver, hams it up as diva Carlotta, and she's the only principal whose voice was dubbed (though she does sing the closing-credit number, "Learn to Be Lonely," which is also the only new song).
Director Joel Schumacher, no stranger to visual spectacle, seems to have found a good match in Lloyd Webber's larger-than-life vision of Gaston LeRoux's Gothic horror-romance. His weakness is cuing too many audience-reaction shots and showing too much of the lurking Phantom, but when he calms down and lets Rossum sings "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" alone in a silent graveyard, it's exquisite.
Those who consider the stage musical shallow and overblown probably won't have their minds changed by the movie, and devotees will forever rue that the movie took the better part of two decades to develop, which prevented the casting of original principals Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman. Still, The Phantom of the Opera is a welcome exception to the long line of ill-conceived Broadway-to-movie travesties.
