Animals (studio album) by Pink Floyd

Wonderfully Moody

This album is definitely one of the greatest ever, not just of Pink Floyd, but ever. Dogs is one of the best songs ever made, Sheep is angry and catchy as hell, Pigs has such an incredible song. Both Pigs on the wing songs are ok but nowhere near as good as the other songs.

Really worth a listen to!

Funnily the Floyd album that clicked with me instantly

Che dire...la musica di 4 dei musicisti più talentuosi che il mondo abbia mai visto a braccetto con delle liriche che denunciano il sistema e la politica. L'ultimo grande disco dei Pink Floyd come gruppo e non come 4 musicisti che suonano assieme.

4,5 out of 5 for this very unique , almsot story-telling like, album from Pink FLoyd

Want to know what it feels like to be a runt fighting in the streets?

Sheep is a masterpiece 👏🏻

One of if not the most nihilistic albums of all time. A love or hate situation. A hard pill to swallow.

Very good record, even if I don't often want to listen to it?

What I like most about Animals is how “throw caution to the wind” many of the performances are.

While Gilmour’s guitar parts never fail to be emotive and brilliant, on this album his parts feel more wild and free. From the cheeky acoustic chords, to the talk box soloing, to the outro leads dripping in funky swagger. Even Waters’ bass parts take voicing in ways they hadn’t before. Rick Wright is once again the secret weapon to the album’s success, but once more is a jack-knife instrumentalist filling out the record with handfuls of different sounds.

Animals sonically is almost like Wish You Were Here from a different, more dark and angular plane.

Great album
