The seed for the Album is Orwell's Amimal Farm. The first time I heard this album was during my first proper experience with LSD. Yeah. On vinyl no less. I waited a good while before asking someone if there was barking on the track. Was relieved to find out there was. As was common, there was a split between Gilmour and Waters on vocals that often came with an emotional transition. The end from the "Who was Breaking Away from the Pack" with the vocal repeat echo" to the finish....You could pitch a movie just based on that.

[@paulrobinson5833]

Don't worry he's made lots of money.

[@deechatterton5828]

"He was dragged down by the stone." If you listen to the first part of the song, the last line goes "the bad blood dries and turns to stone". This is my favorite PF album simply due to it's combination of uncompromising angry lyrics and sonic moods. The combination is killer. I especially love the barking keyboards toward the end. As I'm sure you know, all PF albums need to be listened to in their entirety. If you're going to finish this album, may I suggest you listen to Dogs again off the video and then start the video afterward. It will help get the feel for the entire album. You're killing it on this channel. Thank you.

Using the Heil talk box here and on pigs another3, is the first time the public gets to hear it. Months later, Joe Walsh would Rocky Mt. Way, and a year later, Frampton goes wild with it.

Masterpiece by Pink Floyd

[@Ferretbomber]

This is probably my fave PF album, I had personalized plates in high school in the '80s and had ANIMLS on them. Great track, but as many people are saying, it is definitely an album that needs to be heard as a whole because so many of the songs are longer form. This track is a bit bittersweet for me. My dad has been a salesman his whole life, and for me, growing up, this is sort of how I've seen him. He bought in to that world. "Dragged down by the stone". Thanks for the reaction Lee, hope you enjoy the album.

[@L33Reacts]

I'm definitely gonna go in order! This was a fantastic start. I can't wait to hear the rest! I'm glad you enjoyed my friend. A lot of folks are blinded by money... a lot. I'm glad I was shown from a young age that there is more then just what is front of me.

[@williamosborne6866]

When you get to the next two tracks - "Pigs" and "Sheep" - you'll get Gilmour playing bass as well - absolutely incredible. FYI, while loosely based on the concept of George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm", it is Roger Waters' commentary on life in Britain in the mid '70s. Generally, the Dogs are big business and the enforcers for the elites and government (the Pigs). The Sheep are the everyday citizens, getting screwed over by both, and often even aware of that fact. I'll let you find out for yourself how this all turns out when you get to side 2. Animals is, by far, their most lyrically powerful album (with a lot of the sonic experimentation present in earlier albums) - Roger Waters' increasing overall bitterness and discontent with British society and commerce coming through clearly. A true masterpiece of concept album production.

[@PJprog]

Up next.... only another Floyd masterpiece no less !!! Pigs ( Three different ones ) It's so infectious... you'll be singing " Ha Ha , charade you are " , before you know it. Yet another album to get maximum enjoyment for decades with. Fabulous Floyd Lee. 😍

Yep. Even more relevant today. More scary, too, because when this came out people were less trusting of big corporations and knew them more for what they are. Now-a-days, people tend to either be completely ambivalent, ignorant, or they actually buy into the corporate propaganda and think the corpo's are beneficial.

Animals. One of Pink Floyd's best albums. Remember the year that it came out and the equipment they had at the time to produce the sound. Absolutely classic. You are never going to see musicship like this again in our lifetime.

Like your personal criticism of the internet and how its used for profit noadays. Pink Floyd have always been my favorite band and I think Animals is far too underrated in general. I think it is top notch.

[@anahatatutu]

Go into a record store, and buy a used copy of the old mix. Also, get this remix. On the way out you can say, "All the rest is commentary..." This remaster is very clean and updated and, along with the new cover photo, reveals a lot of texture that we never heard before, but there is a rawness to the original 1977 mix that this does not manage to eclipse. Yeah, Richard doesn't get enough credit on this track! Notice Roger's lead vocal on the return verse! Seamless. Good commentary. When you get to "Sheep", I'll post the breakdown I've shared elsewhere.

[@midnightrambler7716]

👍 Well put, you are right! I actually bought the LP in 77 when it came out when I was 17 and in high school. I couldn’t believe how great it was then. I still have that vinyl but no longer have a turntable, so I bought the CD about 30 years ago. Still love it to this day. Last year I bought the 2018 remix on CD (having never known about it till then) and it is amazing what you can hear for texture. But I still listen to the original mix as well, for the rawness as you said!

@@anahatatutuI keep meaning to get another turntable but never get around to it. I should. I went to an exhibition in Toronto last summer called “Pink Floyd Their Mortal Remains”. It has been all over the world and if it comes to a town near you, it is not to be missed for a Floyd fan. All kinds of memorabilia and exhibits of band members’ instruments and clothes from back in the day as well as exhibits about each album and all kinds of information about what band members did before and after joining the band including extensive information about Syd Barrett. Great gift shop as well with a fabulous “free” coffee table book if you took the VIP tour as well as old concert programs and T-shirts and all kinds of other stuff. I picked up an Animals T-shirt with the original album cover as well as an original Animals Tour Book that was sold at the concerts back then, even though I did not go at the time.

Animals was loosely inspired by Orwell's Animal Farm, with each animal being a metaphor for various societal classes. Dogs represent the big businessmen, pigs are the politicians, and sheep are everybody else. Roger's first really overtly angry lyrics (definitely not his last).

[@sandstonestudiollc4126]

I just feel like every time the band came to a spot in a song on this album where there was a question as to where to go next, they all just said "maybe it needs another guitar solo". David Gilmour defies words on this album. Candidate for my favorite album ever.

[@SpaceCattttt]

@@stuarthouse-w6o I'm not sure about that. Dark Side is not exactly a "cheerful" album, but it deals with the human condition, which is why it's so relatable to so many people. Not to mention the great tunes and production on it, of course. But Animals is DARK. Or the Dark Side of the Earth, if you will. It doesn't deal so much with our internal struggles so much as it cynically spits at our collective capacity for corruption. Any one of us could become a dog or a pig, but even if we don't, as sheep, we still allow dogs and pigs to get away with it, because we'd rather maintain the status quo than rock the boat. So in that sense, as a species, we're all "dragged down by the stone" because we're either corrupt or cowardly little shits whose purpose on this planet is nothing but a nihilistic fever dream when viewed through the eyes of realism. Hardly a message with massively commercial appeal, right? People don't like to be reminded of their flaws, and that's why Animals could and never will be more popular than the other 3 BIG Floyd albums.
