Does 'The Force Awakens' perfectly sync with 'Dark Side of the Moon'?

Star Wars has always pitted a good force against an evil one. Now it takes “Us and Them” to a different rocking level.

Reddit user knnl contends The Force Awakens is perfectly scored by Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon. “Each act is roughly the same time as the album (~40 minutes),” they write. “The music is always spot on for every scene, but the lyrics are what confirm that this was, indeed, [intentional].”

knnl poses that to perfectly sync Star Wars No. 7 and the 1972 record, viewers need to start track 1 at the end of the movie’s crawl. The repeat option must be checked for the album, they write, and be played three times in a row for the film’s acts.

Here are moments of evidence knnl points out to support their claim.
