This one is a little harder to get into than the other three classic Floyd albums but every time I listen I like it more and more. It deserves to be held up with those other three.

"Animals" is very similar to its popular successor: "The Wall". The differences between them is that, "Animals"' concepts are broader - reminiscent of "Dark Side of the Moon", it's not self-indulgent, it this has atmosphere and feels like the classic Floyd back in '67-'70 because of the lengthy songs (you know the ones I'm talking about) - plus the songs rank as some of Pink Floyd's best. Debating with myself if this is better than "The Wall".

Wonderful concept and music to support it's dark visions. The three track run of Dogs/Pigs/Sheep is perhaps the best I've ever heard.

Not bad, but this is definitely an album that should be reserved for the hardcore progheads.

Inspired by the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, has a more acoustic sound and passages full of virtuosity of David Gilmour. A great album, perhaps even better than the overrated The Wall

I don't really like when artists get "in your face" with their concept and metaphors, as Pink Floyd (well, Waters) did here with Animals. On the other hand, this might even be my favourite Pink Floyd album lyrically. Many memorable lines throughout.
Also, Dogs is probably Gilmour's finest hour.

ok, so Floyd again but the 3rd in the sequence of 4 classic albums released in the 70s. Dogs and Sheep are epic. Love Gilmour's guitar work on this album and Waters biting lyrics.
