Pink Floyd achieved the pinnacle of music. Created 4 masterpiece albums in a row and none of them sounded like the others. Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall... The Wall being a double album with an accompanying incredible movie. No-one has come close to these masterpieces

If you haven't checked out any Peter Frampton you should react to "Do You Feel Like We Do". It is a great example of a talkbox. If you could find a live version you could see how it works. Cheers!

@@notslickgaming6015 The effect produced by talk boxes and vocoders are often conflated by listeners. However, they have radically different mechanisms for achieving the effect. Talk boxes send the carrier signal into the singer's mouth, where it is then modulated by the singer themselves. On the other hand, vocoders process both the carrier and the modulator signal integrally, producing the output as a separate electric signal. In addition, they are also more common in different genres: a talk box is often found in rock music due to its typical pairing with a guitar, whereas vocoders are almost always paired with synthesizers, and as such, are ubiquitous in electronic music.

If there’s one word I can use to describe this song, it’s anger-and not the kind based off of fear, but rather the kind based off of almost pure disgust, resentment, and contempt. This is especially expressed in the overall music, the lyrics, the vocal delivery, and the final guitar solo, the last of which is one of the most blistering, searing, bitter, and vindictive ever recorded. The entire song itself is one of the most perfect distillations of (not-so) silent anger and contempt that I have ever heard in any song from any band, and it does so in a far superior and more effective manner than any punk rock band ever could. And I absolutely love Pink Floyd for making it, even though I don’t entirely agree with the lyrical content of it (which is the song’s only weakness for me, as with the two other main songs on the album, but it’s actually so small and not significant enough that at the end of the day, it’s not enough to significantly or meaningfully reduce the strength of any of them).

Everyone out there, check out Roger Waters' performances of this in 2016. The stage, the performance and the relevance to modern times are all (still) incredible--not to mention the climax. The Mexico City pro job is amazing--especially considering the audience. There's also a good center smart phone video from Desert Trip that shows the whole stage and the climax the way it should be seen.

You may or may not like Roger's politics, but the guy has got to be ranked right at the top of songwriters in the rock a d roll era. He's just written too many great songs.

erestube I saw him play it live in Portland. It was so huge and intense and there was an energy in the room that was almost like electricity was going to zap out of it. I was absolutely in awe. The Mexico video captures the intensity on an even greater level. Truth!

@Tobyy His mother and father were both members of the communist party. Given that his father was killed in WW2 when he was 5 months old, that meant his mother was his biggest [political] influence. Since his his mother didn't leave the communist party until the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union, would it be reasonable to assume she was an ardent supporter of Stalinism? (Stalin died in 1953, yet she stayed in the party). Are Roger's politics any surprise?

Don't know if anyone ever answered. the guitar effect used in some of the solos is a vocoder. the tube thing where they use the shape of the mouth to give tone and wierd effects to the notes they play on the guitar. Good example is Peter Frampton using the guitar to 'sing lyrics' in a few of his songs.

From the time this album came out in 1978, when I was 14 years old, until 2019, I've easily ( and I'm not kidding here), have very easily listened to Pink Floyd Animals well over 1,500 times. It never gets old or boring or irrelevant. I listen to it in full at least once a week. Everyday when I was a kid. I like the reaction of a young man that gets and truly likes us old folks' music. I'm telling you, Roger Waters and David Gilmour are stone-cold fucking genius. They weren't pissing about when they made this album 42 years ago. It's always and easily been not only my favorite Floyd album, but I think it's the best rock album of all time. Even better than "Dark Side of The Moon", if that's even possible; but you can hear here that it surely is. ENJOY!>PRESS RE-PLAY.

the pigs represent "the man" or men who we all work for. The whole album "Animals" is a concept work all about the categories of groups on earth and the various injustices. Floyd,not only Rock Gods,but thought-provoking too.

This is my favourite PF album. This is the best guitar solo using the 'talk box' but then it was Dave Gilmour so what can you expect. I hear what you say about the requests pouring in but as you may have guessed every stage of PF has their legion of fans. The last set of lyrics was all about a woman called Mary Whitehouse in the UK who was trying to get the government to impose more censorship on the arts because she thought the music, film, television of the day was corrupting young people. A bit like the group that got the "Parental Advisory" stickers put on CD's in your country. Man, I am away to listen to Sheep.
