    This is probably the greatest reaction video I’ve ever seen. I’m more with her emotional reactions to David’s guitar work. I cry almost every time I hear him, lyrivs aren’t necessary. But Roger’s lyrics were profound. And he went deep on that. A perfect combination.

      Having been a PF fan for over 40 years, here's my take on the Waters/other guys contribution. Lyrically, there's nothing to say - Waters is one of the greatest lyricists of his generation, the rest of PF could not come close. Musically however - Waters' writing is extremely dramatic. He comes up with great hooks and melodies. But listen to his solo albums, they are full over-the-top drama, sudden loud-quiet-loud-quiet transitions and an almost assault-style production - great in small doses, but he goes too far.
      That's where Gilmour and Wright (and to a lesser extent Mason, I suppose) really helped Pink Floyd. Their writing is much smoother and softer, more atmospheric. Even on the Floyd's Waters-only penned songs, I can imagine Gilmour and Wright saying "let's smooth this out". Imagine Waters' music is like caviar, Foie Gras, or white truffles - exquisite, but you don't want to have an entire meal of the stuff - it's too rich. The rest of Pink Floyd supplied the meat, potatoes and veggies that balanced it out and made it all more listenable.
      With the music balanced, and Waters' lyrics on top of that they were unstoppable. Separated, Waters' solo work is very interesting, but hard to listen to over and over. Post-Waters Pink Floyd is the opposite - beautiful, grande and easy to listen to, but with mostly uninteresting lyrics and lacking the occasional dramatic punch that Waters would give.

      @@acfiv1421 I might have written that a few days ago, actually Ive written almost exactly that. Dave says up front that 'was my job'. The trouble when roger left was dave states he needs time to recharge, and rogers lyrics were still coming fast and loose. Radio KAOS is a little easier to listen than Amused to Death, but I've compared ATD with Guernica. I can look at it and recognize its brilliance but really can't look at it for too long. Roger really seems to WANT to really hit you between the eyes, but that really doesn't help. Its a real shame that when doing Division Bell apparantly dave tried to mend fences and 'was told to go fuk myself' according to the song. Ironically momentary lapse of reason sounds TOO much like trying to replace roger so from BOTH camps you kind of got really depressing stuff, which of course is what set them both apart from most of the 80s pap.
      On this track you have to remember that this was music that Dave wanted on wish you were here, but roger won that argument. And its the music that really 'softens' this album, which also really needs it.

    There's a line in the song that says "And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone." That's what he's referencing at the end. Eventually he was dragged down by the stone. By all that bad blood he created. The stone reference is mentioned throughout the album in different places, but I think it's here where he defines what it is. Also, he basically realizes in the end that he's been being used all along. A dog trained, chained and discarded. (presumably by pigs.)

      I kept waiting for them to talk about the music, Gilmour’s epic guitar, Mason’s unique off kilter beat and Wright’s mesmerizing keyboards (he also was making those dog sounds). It was the music that brought Sista to tears…soft acoustic in parts, electric and heart wrenching in others…an emotional roller coaster. I agree with your politics and could listen all day BUT was disappointed you never dissected the music.

      I'm Russian and I was 15 when the album was released. My friend's mother went from Germany and brought Animals to my friend as present. The country was closed and 95% of the population was not allowed to travel abroad. All western rock music was not allowed. But we had recorder tapes and some LP's came from abroad. We listened Animals the whole week after classes and couldn't believe our ears. It was absolutely incredible experience. Many years later I was on Pink Floyd concert in Moscow in 1989 and it was a second shock to see them on stage.

    I’ve seen more than one article or video snippet saying that Animals is a favorite of many die hard Floyd fans. I’m proud of myself for always considering it my “go to” Floyd album. It got mixed reviews when it first came out because many reviewers considered it angry and pessimistic. In the years since it’s release it has been given new looks and listens by “those in the know” and is now widely considered one of their best albums and one of the best rock / psychedelic albums of the 70’s.

    One special instance was back when I was still living in Atlanta… it was after work, I was sitting in my car smoking some weed, I gestured my co-worker who was parked next to me to come sit in my car and share this smoke with me… she had heard of the band’s name but never heard any Pink Floyd songs before - she was raised on nothing but rap/hiphop/soul… when Gilmour’s solo hit at 3:40 in the song, for whatever reason she just busted out crying like she had been holding it back for a while and said it was the most beautiful thing she’d ever heard before! She became a fan of the band afterwards! Pink Floyd is so magical!

      In Animal Farm dogs represent the military while Pink Floyd's dogs represent businessmen trying to work their way to the top.
      Thematically the only things the two have in common is that Sheep represent followers and Pigs represent corrupt power, both concepts are ubiquitous in humanity, the former all the way back to the bible, and both predating "Animal Farm."

It is also soooo good live. This is Floyd at its rawest.

It was your reaction video and he said that he had a memory rush come flooding back to him. and he remembered being a little kid and me playing this song for him every night to go to sleep. He said he started crying because he did not understand how he could not remember that until this exact moment when he saw your reaction video, it also made me very very happy to know that my 16-year-old son remembers something like that from when he was a toddler. Needless to say he loves Pink Floyd now and he’s been listening to their whole catalog portfolio and even though there is a big age gap between us because I had him when I was 40 years old , this has given us something tremendous to share and experience and pass down my love of Pink Floyd and Classical Rock and Roll….thank you, thank you … thank you!

    My first time experiencing this album was also my first time tripping on LSD. In 1978, some high school friends and I were visiting an order friend who had his own apartment. We were all gathered in his "black light" room, passing the bong around, when somebody put this on the turntable. We all just hung on for dear life, not knowing exactly what we were hearing. Needless to say many minds were blown and all our musical horizons were greatly expanded. Music was never the same for me after that experience.

    Went to Battersea power station two weeks ago its now a huge shopping mall.
    I am old enough to remember seeing the giant inflated pig between the chimneys .
    Till it broke free and messed up the airline flight paths.
    Animal's is still imho an under rated album from Floyd

    I love this album and I love this song. IMO it's about a society that forces one to adopt sociopathic principles to get ahead in life. Living with these principles separates one from their humanity and takes a spiritual and physical toll (the metaphorical "stone"). Floyd songs can usually be interpreted on many different levels. There is the literal meaning of the song, but usually its also about society and has personal meaning.

    I don’t really comment on youtube, or anywhere else really, but here I go. I’ve discovered you guys 3 years ago going through a rough patch, just before I enlisted in the army, I’m from eastern europe, which specific country is not important.Ever since then you guys were two platonic friends of mine, I’m so grateful that I could laugh with you, cry with you, even scream with you guys, simply experience the mirage-like wonder of human connection through music, my father died of cancer last week, but not as another sad and lonely old man, quite the opposite. Pink Floyd, and especially this album was our common favourite. The last few days were pretty hectic, but this night happens to be unusually calm, which, although gives us respite, always freaks me out a bit😅. I think what I want to tell you is you guys are a little piece of home and bliss for me, sitting in my “forward observation post”, basically a glorified foxhole😅 smoking some red Luckies and drinking Capri sun, provided by my all-American squad-mate from Colorado :D, much love and all the hugs to you guys from a forest somewhere near Mordor❤

    I didn't have liner notes for my little cassette tape back in 1977....so I had NO clue what any of these songs were about. I just dug the sound. Listening on my $100 Radio Shack brand stereo & my cheap headphones....& I loved it. I'm pretty sure that 'Sheep' was my favorite track at that time. Possibly my favorite Pink Floyd album. The one I still find myself listening to more often than others. But it varies.

    The artwork on the cover is the Battersea Power Station. There is an extra building added to the left side of the Power Station, so if you look at the entire image, the buildings resemble a dead sheep, on its back, with all 4 legs pointing up to the sky. The pig balloon's name is Algie.

    David is usually such a player who takes your emotions on an uplifting journey.... But on this album he plays some on the most dirty and nasty lead breaks I have ever heard him play. The whole album is just one complete gem, as you would expect with Floyd..... And of ALL of their albums, if I had to pick only one to play for the rest of my lfe... this would be the one... Keep on Rocking.

  • @tatianalp2847

    Animals album is inspired on George Orwell's novels like 1984 and Animal Farm, it speaks about the corruption and social injustice that was prevalent in 1970's Britain, with pigs, dogs, and sheep symbolizing the aristocracy, military, and working classes, respectively. the album's lyrics describe various classes in society as different kinds of animals: the predatory dogs, the despotic ruthless pigs, and the "mindless and unquestioning herd" of sheep.
    The whole album is a masterpiece and probably one of my favorite albums of all times, so if you can react to the rest of the album, it'd be perfect. Pink Floyd albums are designed to be listed to as a whole as the songs are connected to one another and it kinds of turns into one big song.
    Great reaction by the way, it's very refreshing to see reactors actually feel and enjoy what they're discovering, it was a pleasure to watch! 👍

    Gilmour's guitar here IS a dog, who, without words expresses it's feelings with barks and howls, whimpers and yelps. This has to be intentional. How many guitar solos in Dogs? Four? Each one sounds to me like a state of emotion: elation/aggression, fear, pleading, despair. They're all so perfectly converted into music. Incredible.

    Their reputation-making trio of albums-Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and this one (and some would add The Wall, which does have some exquisite songs) are deservedly part of the history of rock. They found a beautiful and rather unique way to transcend the blues so prevalent then, yet retain the soul, as they explored further electronics, beats and lyrical concerns. It's important to know about them in the general history of music, but as we all know, it's also tons of fun to listen to. There's very little live music they released from that era, so the albums are the way to go. As an aside, if shards of shred appeal to you (as they do I) and you are not yet familiar with them, Yes produced some scorching pieces around the same time, cleverly mixed into astonishingly, other-worldly beautiful songs (and also likewise deservedly in the History of Rock), and King Crimson, active until recently, have made a career of precise immolation since 1969. And cheers, this is one of life's wonderful journeys-the heart of Pink Floyd itself!

    It took a brain to shoot something like this. I am simply speechless, so much slow preparation for the part of the song before (And when you loose control ....) the part that keeps repeating and that you can't wait to hear again. I often play it on the bass guitar and I feel like I'm in seventh heaven. Simply fantastic. I've been hearing Floyd since I started high school there back in 1972.

    High hopes was completely missing something WATERS pink Floyd to me is Waters writing Gilmore‘s guitar playing because Gilmore‘s guitar has as much emotion and story as Waters writing this band has many phases. But that combination was the stars aligning and what made them so popular and great .end of story Drop the Mic thank you come again.

    What I love about this album is that it is massively negative and cynical nearly all the way through. But then the last few minutes completely annihilate all of this and redeem human nature.
    The Floyd is about my fourth or fifth favourite band, but they are tops for eliciting my emotional responses.
