Damn Animals with Pink Floyd is overrated!

The songs are from awesome to only okay, Sheep is a masterpiece the rest are good to decent. Wow i dont see the greatness all gives it, its not my favorite from Pink Floyd. I like the album but it is just maybe a strong 7/10.

I cant just appreciate it as you other, Dogs are nearly boring.

It's their best album imo. It's not as varied or groundbreaking as DSOTM, it's not as well produced or fresh sounding as WYWH, but for some reason it encapsulates mid to late 70's Britian perfectly. It has some of the agression of punk in places, as well as some of the best lyrics Waters ever wrote. Dogs is the ultimate Pink Floyd epic. Far more mature and more edgy than Echoes.

Their greatest album, and Dogs is a masterpiece.

It's my favourite anyway .

I wish you could see through our eyes and hear through our ears so you could understand why we hold this album in such high regard.  As it is, you've got your own eyes and ears, and hear things the way you hear them.  Nothing wrong about that.  Enjoy what thou may.

I think Waters was BY FAR  the best poet in the band. Maybe that's the reason why neither The Wall nor Animals are one of my fave ones, i was always kind of "lazy" to pay attention to that observations about our society in their lyrics, which at first seem somewhat depressive, imo, at least when listening to that PF songs. But in fact it could be very interesting for me to get the lyrics and give a good reading to them, in order to understand and get better their 70's british music spirit, which btw curiously differed in Genesis early 70's albums.

I love Dogs: it's one of my favorite Floyd pieces.

Genesis wrote songs that took the listener away from all the depressing stuff that surrounded them. It was escapism. Yes took that to new levels, essentially writing utter nonsense some of the time. imo

Floyd on the other hand embraced reality and very skilfully made entertaining music from very dark subject matter. DSOTM is very depressing, but it's also very compelling. Animals is angry AND depressing. A joyful combination, I think..
