Description

Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, Roger Waters condemns the avarice and inequalities of capitalism, metaphorically and musically grouping humans as pigs, dogs, and sheep. The pigs are self-righteous hypocrites inflicting their beliefs on everyone else, the dogs greedy money-grabbers, and the sheep witless followers. Dark, cynical, and brilliantly composed, Animals is an ingenious and under-acknowledged album. --Naomi Gesinger

Best Pink Floyd album

As a big fan of Pink Floyd, this is their best album in my opinion. Perfect coreography of sound.

syringe full of electro-chemical substances

i could careless what the song means or what the lyrical content is. i have my own beliefs and don't rely on singers to learn things. anyway, the music is killer. the sounds totally stimulate the imagination and the music still ignites my synaptic nodes 30+ years later. the guitar work is about as powerful as a syringe full of electro-chemical substances.
