Not bad.
I like the way you analyse the scales & chord-progressions of the music, to attempt to find out why the album emotes in the way it does, in relation to the subject matter.
However, your stylistic analysis is all lumped in together with
the conceptual & lyrical concerns of the album - separating it out would make it better, ie. (paragraphically) Concept/Music/Track-by-Track/Symbolism/Overview.

"A sweet piece of writing", mmh...no false modesty there then!
The musical deciphering is strong, & is worth the read, but no revelations conceptually, or symbolically - so perhaps not quite as good as you think it is.
Just kidding. :D Nice essay. Thanks for sharing.

{N.B. If you want to pull apart other people`s thoughts on the album (including mine) exhume the thread "My Theory On Dark Side Of The Moon"-`Pink Floyd`section (Oct`05). There are some thought-provoking contributions.}
