Pink Floyd - Dogs ( Reaction, Breakdown, Commentary )

Dogs is one of the greatest songs ever written

It's definitely my favorite song of all time!!

[@Guitarisforgrins]

Animals is a masterpiece. My favourite Pink Floyd album.

[@jesusgonzalezs9655]

I have listened to it more than 10 times I have the entire album saved on my drive I also have the book Animal Farm that I got at a book stand

[@jgfunk]

It's my favorite as well. I have them all on cassette (go ahead and laugh), but this was my favorite.

[@Savagedbd]

[@Damien.Young46]

This and the final cut are proper masterpieces

[@Mymloch]

Animals is, in my opinion as a long term Floyd fan, them at the peak of their game.... lyrics, musicality, dynamics... all of it.. Each of the 4 members shows the peak of their creativity in this album.

[@mikewatts867]

This is probably the greatest reaction video I’ve ever seen. I’m more with her emotional reactions to David’s guitar work. I cry almost every time I hear him, lyrivs aren’t necessary. But Roger’s lyrics were profound. And he went deep on that. A perfect combination.

[@acfiv1421]

Having been a PF fan for over 40 years, here's my take on the Waters/other guys contribution. Lyrically, there's nothing to say - Waters is one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, the rest of PF could not come close. Musically however - Waters' writing is extremely dramatic. He comes up with great hooks and melodies. But listen to his solo albums, they are full over-the-top drama, sudden loud-quiet-loud-quiet transitions and an almost assault-style production - great in small doses, but he goes too far. That's where Gilmour and Wright (and to a lesser extent Mason, I suppose) really helped Pink Floyd. Their writing is much smoother and softer, more atmospheric. Even on the Floyd's Waters-only penned songs, I can imagine Gilmour and Wright saying "let's smooth this out". Imagine Waters' music is like caviar, Foie Gras, or white truffles - exquisite, but you don't want to have an entire meal of the stuff - it's too rich. The rest of Pink Floyd supplied the meat, potatoes and veggies that balanced it out and made it all more listenable. With the music balanced, and Waters' lyrics on top of that they were unstoppable. Separated, Waters' solo work is very interesting, but hard to listen to over and over. Post-Waters Pink Floyd is the opposite - beautiful, grande and easy to listen to, but with mostly uninteresting lyrics and lacking the occasional dramatic punch that Waters would give.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@acfiv1421 I might have written that a few days ago, actually Ive written almost exactly that. Dave says up front that 'was my job'. The trouble when roger left was dave states he needs time to recharge, and rogers lyrics were still coming fast and loose. Radio KAOS is a little easier to listen than Amused to Death, but I've compared ATD with Guernica. I can look at it and recognize its brilliance but really can't look at it for too long. Roger really seems to WANT to really hit you between the eyes, but that really doesn't help. Its a real shame that when doing Division Bell apparantly dave tried to mend fences and 'was told to go fuk myself' according to the song. Ironically momentary lapse of reason sounds TOO much like trying to replace roger so from BOTH camps you kind of got really depressing stuff, which of course is what set them both apart from most of the 80s pap. On this track you have to remember that this was music that Dave wanted on wish you were here, but roger won that argument. And its the music that really 'softens' this album, which also really needs it.

[@zappafranknanuk2529]

I cry every time too, when I listen to it. A great piece of music.

​@@acfiv1421 David e Roger sono come lo YN e lo YEN , non è un caso che le cose migliori le hanno fatte assieme .... Non dimenticare il compianto Richard , il terzo elemento fondamentale per i letti che costruiva dove si coricava il sound MAGICO dei PF. Il quarto elemento , e non meno importante , Nik......MERAVIGLIOSO , basta vederlo nel film di Pompei per capire il suo impatto enorme che aveva nelle cadenze incredibili dei brani , oppure vederlo dal vivo con la sua band dei Sacherful of Secrets.

One of the best songs ever written. Super underrated!

[@Beevaldi]

Yeah for sure

[@RoadDoug]

My brother bought the album when it was first released. I was 16. He put some headphones on me and said “your not going to believe this!” I had never heard anything like it. It still blows me away. I’m a Floydian through and through. Watching you two react to this brings back great memories. Thanks.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Awwe, I am so happy that you enjoyed it! ♥

[@alexsteel2918]

I'm Russian and I was 15 when the album was released. My friend's mother went from Germany and brought Animals to my friend as present. The country was closed and 95% of the population was not allowed to travel abroad. All western rock music was not allowed. But we had recorder tapes and some LP's came from abroad. We listened Animals the whole week after classes and couldn't believe our ears. It was absolutely incredible experience. Many years later I was on Pink Floyd concert in Moscow in 1989 and it was a second shock to see them on stage.

[@RoadDoug]

@@alexsteel2918 the Cold War was a waste of time money and development for everyone. Hate, lies, and deceit. But we had Pink Floyd to help us all through. Rock on Alex!

[@warriormonx]

Has to be the most underrated lyrical and guitar performances Pink Floyd ever delivered

[@norahdenovan8658]

Pink Floyd are simply GENIUS, people will be playing them forever like Mozart& Beethoven ❤

[@somersetcace1]

There's a line in the song that says "And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone." That's what he's referencing at the end. Eventually he was dragged down by the stone. By all that bad blood he created. The stone reference is mentioned throughout the album in different places, but I think it's here where he defines what it is. Also, he basically realizes in the end that he's been being used all along. A dog trained, chained and discarded. (presumably by pigs.)

[@robins.2749]

and drowned in a sack tied to the stone...a sad way that unwanted dogs (and cats) were disposed of....

[@ChrisP-sc9sf]

The stone is his bad conscience that condemns him

[@simoningham1736]

Hi, I interpret "the stone" as guilt, mental anguish, because of all the times he's used and abused people for his benefit. And the heavy guilt (the stone) is dragging him down.

[@markalexander4884]

I’ve seen more than one article or video snippet saying that Animals is a favorite of many die hard Floyd fans. I’m proud of myself for always considering it my “go to” Floyd album. It got mixed reviews when it first came out because many reviewers considered it angry and pessimistic. In the years since it’s release it has been given new looks and listens by “those in the know” and is now widely considered one of their best albums and one of the best rock / psychedelic albums of the 70’s.

[@Guitarisforgrins]

Absolutely agree. Such a great album!

[@Arfabiscuit]

This album was what brought me into the world of pink floyd

[@DrSkeff]

David Gilmour is the only guitarist who plays my heart strings when he plays his Strat. Just plugged straight into my soul. Great reaction and always love how Sistah feels it.

[@barbarad.3273]

I kept waiting for them to talk about the music, Gilmour’s epic guitar, Mason’s unique off kilter beat and Wright’s mesmerizing keyboards (he also was making those dog sounds). It was the music that brought Sista to tears…soft acoustic in parts, electric and heart wrenching in others…an emotional roller coaster. I agree with your politics and could listen all day BUT was disappointed you never dissected the music.

[@JJDoole]

Although on this track it’s a Telecaster Custom.

[@redrick8900]

Get into Santana. It's like if Gilmour could play things that aren't super easy.

Sistah, I think I'm a lot like you. When I first hear a song [and many times after] I just hear the lyrics, the voices, as just another instrument and I let myself FEEL the music. I did that for many years with this album until one time I sat and paid special attention to the WORDS and learned that it was even more powerful than first imagined. You keep goin, I love to see the emotion.

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Thank you :) ♥

[@stevenyoung3360]

When my 22 year old son was an infant any time he used to cry all we had to do was turn on this song and he would stop immediately and just listen.

[@marcelocm07]

Thanks guys, for the reaction! This song has always had a special place in my heart!!! One special instance was back when I was still living in Atlanta… it was after work, I was sitting in my car smoking some weed, I gestured my co-worker who was parked next to me to come sit in my car and share this smoke with me… she had heard of the band’s name but never heard any Pink Floyd songs before - she was raised on nothing but rap/hiphop/soul… when Gilmour’s solo hit at 3:40 in the song, for whatever reason she just busted out crying like she had been holding it back for a while and said it was the most beautiful thing she’d ever heard before! She became a fan of the band afterwards! Pink Floyd is so magical!

[@danielhinds-bond4437]

[@albertolopez797]

Have a listen to the 2018 remaster. It’s fucking beautiful on Spotify

What’s crazy is that this is easily their most underrated album. Animals was sandwiched between The Dark Side of the Moon (the most popular album in history) and The Wall (of of the most popular albums in history). So it often gets unnoticed. Truly a gem of an album. And my personal favorite.

[@ramiroschachmann4116]

This is (of all the reaction videos I watched) the most sensitive, emotional, and receptive I ever seen in my life. The last line of Waters is what Pink Floyd talks about in all their albums. The best band in history, don’t doubt. Thank you guys from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@charlywested8307]

I’m 56 years old and Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and animals is in my top three top albums I have a 16-year-old son and I used to play Pink Floyd animals for him when he was a a toddler from age 2 until he was about 7 or 8 years old, to help him fall sleep. the other day he called me and told me that he was watching a KZbin reaction video on Pink Floyd animals. It was your reaction video and he said that he had a memory rush come flooding back to him. and he remembered being a little kid and me playing this song for him every night to go to sleep. He said he started crying because he did not understand how he could not remember that until this exact moment when he saw your reaction video, it also made me very very happy to know that my 16-year-old son remembers something like that from when he was a toddler. Needless to say he loves Pink Floyd now and he’s been listening to their whole catalog portfolio and even though there is a big age gap between us because I had him when I was 40 years old , this has given us something tremendous to share and experience and pass down my love of Pink Floyd and Classical Rock and Roll….thank you, thank you … thank you!

The first time I heard this album was soon after it's release, sitting in my Uncles bunkhouse smoking copious quantities of weed and drinking Boones Farm, Strawberry Hill. The album blew my mind then. Still does, all these years later. A perfect example of how "force" in music does not require 250bbm. The ultimate soundtrack for melting into your chair.

The song is a masterpiece. But the last part, when Roger Waters came in, is absolutely insane. He made all the lyrics on this album btw.

[@mikhailsaa7506]

For me this keeps growing on me over time, its the perfect balance of Roger Waters' rage and edgy/sinister, strong voice and concept and hard and heavy bass, Gilmour's melodic voice yet punchy, emotional guitar feel adds such a nice balance, with Rick's stellar playing adding a unique atmosphere and such intricate drum work from Mason. It is also soooo good live. This is Floyd at its rawest.

[@redrick8900]

[@flake1569]

It was based on Animal Farm.

[@redrick8900]

@@flake1569 Liar. Dogs was written as the other side of the album with Shine on You Crazy Diamond was on. It's about the record industry. Pigs on the Wing is written about Rogers' Marriage. Sheep was written years before the album came out and had a different name. In Animal Farm dogs represent the military while Pink Floyd's dogs represent businessmen trying to work their way to the top. Thematically the only things the two have in common is that Sheep represent followers and Pigs represent corrupt power, both concepts are ubiquitous in humanity, the former all the way back to the bible, and both predating "Animal Farm." Floyd's sheep aren't even the common people. They represent high society followers. Theory refuted.

Picking one song from the album is difficult as it is a must do full album listening. My personal reaction to parts of Dogs is still very close to yours, Sistah - after so many years.

My first time experiencing this album was also my first time tripping on LSD. In 1978, some high school friends and I were visiting an order friend who had his own apartment. We were all gathered in his "black light" room, passing the bong around, when somebody put this on the turntable. We all just hung on for dear life, not knowing exactly what we were hearing. Needless to say many minds were blown and all our musical horizons were greatly expanded. Music was never the same for me after that experience.

I love this album and I love this song. IMO it's about a society that forces one to adopt sociopathic principles to get ahead in life. Living with these principles separates one from their humanity and takes a spiritual and physical toll (the metaphorical "stone"). Floyd songs can usually be interpreted on many different levels. There is the literal meaning of the song, but usually its also about society and has personal meaning.

Animals album is inspired on George Orwell's novels like 1984 and Animal Farm, it speaks about the corruption and social injustice that was prevalent in 1970's Britain, with pigs, dogs, and sheep symbolizing the aristocracy, military, and working classes, respectively. the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning herd" of sheep. The whole album is a masterpiece and probably one of my favorite albums of all times, so if you can react to the rest of the album, it'd be perfect. Pink Floyd albums are designed to be listed to as a whole as the songs are connected to one another and it kinds of turns into one big song. Great reaction by the way, it's very refreshing to see reactors actually feel and enjoy what they're discovering, it was a pleasure to watch! 👍

I am simply speechless, so much slow preparation for the part of the song before (And when you loose control ....) the part that keeps repeating and that you can't wait to hear again. I often play it on the bass guitar and I feel like I'm in seventh heaven. Simply fantastic. I've been hearing Floyd since I started high school there back in 1972.

for a "normal" band, an album like Animals would be rated the peak of their career. For Pink Floyd, it has been regarded as a lesser album for almost 4 decades. It was so forward in time that it took so long to be appreciated

Went to Battersea power station two weeks ago its now a huge shopping mall. I am old enough to remember seeing the giant inflated pig between the chimneys . Till it broke free and messed up the airline flight paths. Animal's is still imho an under rated album from Floyd

Aw yeah! Bookmarking this one to watch with my 6-month-old pup, Gilmour, after work. He's heard it a few times and tends to lose his shit during the robotic barking part. Hope you and yours are well. You're wearing the shirt :)

[@HalfLifeSistah]

One of my favorite shirts and I have you to thank 🤗❤✊🤘

[@WolfKain]

It didn't occur to me when we first got it, but it's pretty rare to have all five members on a shirt at the same time ✊🤘

I recently bought the book that inspired this album Animal Farm and the part that says I confess I'm a little confused sometimes I feel like I've been used refers to the boxer horse That he was the one who worked the most and was useful for the pigs

I remember listening to this when I was around 7 with my now late father, understanding this was different to any other music being currently produced. The musical journey and the strong rebel message against a strangling anti-human society touched me deep inside ever since. I cried with her. Blessings from Mexico.

Animals was released in 1977, between Wish You Were Here and The Wall. In fact, while in tour in support of Animals, several incidents occurred that inspired Roger Waters to write The Wall. Many, many Pink Floyd fans consider Animals to be Pink Floyd’s best album. Also, Syd Barrett is only on Pink Floyd’s first album. He released two solo albums (which are amazing) before disappearing from society.

Gilmour's guitar here IS a dog, who, without words expresses it's feelings with barks and howls, whimpers and yelps. This has to be intentional. How many guitar solos in Dogs? Four? Each one sounds to me like a state of emotion: elation/aggression, fear, pleading, despair. They're all so perfectly converted into music. Incredible.

It's not a surprise people react to Pink Floyd in this way. They always take you through a journey. I thought Carlos and Oldfield were great, but when I hear this album, David Gilmore became my favorite lead guitar player. HalfLifeSistah is hip to this in a unique way.

THANK you! :-D ♥

Roger's voice in the end brings us right on the edge.

[@leeadickes7235]

This is their best work. It's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. What great lyrics. The album is loosly related to George Orwells Animal Farm

[@pop9095]

Thank you for sharing with us. The band is NASA engineering specs tight on this cut. A notable example of them not only giving you what you want, but also a heaping helping of what you need. Great song. May be their best album, certainly the most under-rated.

[@diamondjoe100]

Great review & yes those are some sorrowful notes & lyrics. A masterpiece none the less. Great review 👍

[@Cheesesteak70-d1v]

High hopes was completely missing something WATERS pink Floyd to me is Waters writing Gilmore‘s guitar playing because Gilmore‘s guitar has as much emotion and story as Waters writing this band has many phases. But that combination was the stars aligning and what made them so popular and great .end of story Drop the Mic thank you come again.

Being able to hear this song live has to be my greatest achievement in this life! I really thought I was going to die without doing it.
