ANIMALS

"Animals" is a brilliant prog rock concept album, by the time of this recording, Roger Waters had basically taken complete control of the band and most of the album was his doing. Inspired by George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," The songs of the album are named after Animals from the book. Dogs,, is about people who do what ever it takes to get ahead, but eventually die off like everybody else. This song contains one Gilmour's best solos. Pigs (Three Different Ones) is an attack driven song, attacking corporate pigs capitalists , Margaret Thatcher, And Mary Whiteside. Sheep talks about rebellion and the killing of the Dogs.With the powerful lyrics that Waters conveys, its easy to see why Animals is one of, if not the most clever album ever; lyrically speaking. This album intelligently combines the euphoric sound that is the Pink Floyd, with lyrics that are not only listenable, but serve as a lesson in life. This is truly a masterpiece of fine art. Highly Recommended!
