Dogs has one of the best Guilmour's guitar work. Those solos are jaw dropping Big smile

Their greatest album, and Dogs is a masterpiece.

Not their best album, but still alternating with Atom Heart Mother at the bottom of my top 5 of PF albums. Sheep and Dogs are both masterpieces. From a lyrical point of view Animals is surely one of their best.

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.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

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.

Believe me, to those of us growing up in a rather bleak 1970's Britain, it was a revelation, and revolutionary, in its way.
