ANIMALS

i dont even know where to start on this great album. one of the absolute best albums by pink floyd, and ive been a pink floyd fan for a long time. maybe if i just give it a track by track review it'll be much easier.

pigs on the wing parts 1 and 2

the beggining and ending of this album is a good little acoustic work of roger's. i do love these songs dearly, even if people think they are just filler. its sad that the cd release does not have the snowy white solo in the middle that brigdes them together. of course the only way to find it is either through a live bootleg or the 8 track release. because of the time constraints on 8 tracks they had to paste both parts together and then play the first half of dogs on the first track, then put the second half of dogs on the second track, then pigs and sheep on the last 2 tracks. my final say on these tracks: pretty good, short, catchy tunes. not progressive in the least (and animals is the most progressive album by pink floyd in my opinion) but still pretty good songs.

dogs all i can say about this song can be summed up in 2 words:

amazing

its such a great song that in this instince "amazing" counts as 2 words. the intro of the song starts of with a pretty hard acoustic riff with synth worked in to create a beautiful work of mixing sounds. then an overdubbed guitar solo followed by an overdubbed acoustic riff creates an eery and bizare feeling in the room. then working its way into the powerful brigde/solo where the word "stone" is echoed liked 70 times until it turns into feedback. one of the most amazing sounds ive heard. then into the pounding end of a great 17 minute powerhouse of a song. one of the greatest moments in pink floyd music history. a song so beautiful that will make you cry after winning the lottery. a song so beautiful it will make a glass eye tear. a song so beautiful it will make you skip church to listen to. you can see where this is going of course

final word: listen to this song and you'll be able to die happy.

pigs a funky song that is pretty awesome. definitley not as great as dogs but not a terrible song. as a matter of fact it is quite good. not much to say about this song except for that it is a tad bland at times but it is one of pink floyds great albums

final word:damn i think i just said it. its not as good as the prior song but its still good.

sheep here is a better song than pigs. very very awesome. hardcore to the max. one of pink floyds heaviest songs. you could mosh to this song. the intro starts out very nicely with a soothing synth solo, than starts to build up to the powerful climax. roger singing his heart out on this song is definitley a major factor As to why this song is so good

final word: defnitley the closest thing to metal pink floyd did. very cool

OVER ALL VEIW ON ANIMALS:

the greatest album ever!!!

to be impartial

its one of the greatest albums of all time!!!
