One of my all-time favorite T.V. shows is "WKRP in Cincinnati"...and one of my very favorite scenes from that show revolved around the playing of this album. (Yes, this YouTube video isn't the best...but, it's the only place you can see the scene the way it was meant to be HEARD. They've now replaced the music in this scene with unknown filler crap because they claim the rights to the music is too expensive).
I'm not sure what you "get" but I sure as Hell don't "get" that at all.
sheep is 1/4 of the album !
but what's important in the end is the overall impression of the album, and much you're tempted to listen to it again. the only song i listen from time to time is sheep.
i gave the album 65/100 anyways, so i guess that technically ihe album is more than ok

Because YOU say that "what's important is the overall impression of the album" does not make it so.
For example, the Beatles White Album has no theme and is all over the place with it's many genres, tempos, moods, subject matter, etc.
But the songs on it are awesome.
Thus, the White album, for many people, is a classic album.
Even though the "overall impression" of the White album would leave one unsure weather to kill themselves, kill someone else, have sex in the road, start a revolution, gently weep, or just all around helter skelter.
Having said that, let's take a look at your 65 rating for Animals shall we.
Sheep is 1/4 of the album. Even though there are only 3 animals on Animals. Fine, whatever, Sheep we will say is 1/4 of the album.
You have stated yourself that Sheep is one of the 70's greatest songs. Ya, you bet your ass it was.
O.K. then, we can safely say that Sheep is, on the BEA rating scale, a 100.
Now, for Animals to to be a 65 yet have 1/4 of the album be a 10, the rest of the album, according to you cartoken, is only a 50
So, then you are stating that this song, Dogs, is only a 50, which would make it just another average song.
You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know, it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder
As you get older
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
But you believe at heart everyone's a killer
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone
