Pink Floyd with this album and Rodger Waters writing didn't just capture what was going on in their time. They captured what went on in ancient Rome what went on in medieval times what went on in their times and what's going on now!! They simply have a way of looking at human nature and putting it into song with incredibly accurate and scathing lyrics!! I saw them in 1977 when they played this entire album. They also played wish you were here in its entirety and half of dark side of the moon for their encore!!
That was amazing to watch your reaction i kept thinking the lady was bored or that her bra was not comfortable but then her comments were good and the guy was cool this album on headphones oh and do your research on it cause it is deep. but i really enjoyed this vid so thank you.... pink floyd and led zeppelin fucking rock
I love that Dev says sheep are cuddly, innocent and sweet, and then a few minutes later PF describe them as demented avengers while they kill the dogs. And just a note about Mary Whitehouse (and kudos for checking in advance - so many Americans assume it's about the US President) - as a teenager in the 70s she was one of the most despised people in Britain. Almost everything that was popular was either evil or degenerate, or promoted violence and sex. She even campaigned to get Tom & Jerry banned for inciting violence in children. When that hit the news, the BBC interviewed some kids and asked if T&J made them want to hurt people or animals, and one 6 year old responded by saying something along the lines of 'of course not, it's only a cartoon, it's not real' - showing that the average 6 year old was more mature than MW
Poor people who have never seen Pink Floyd. I am 65 and long live the old people . And naturally , thank you Pink Floyd for these moments of ecstasy ! Gilmour guitarist and Roger Waters bassist !
I'm 67 and was lucky to have seen Floyd six times over the years the first was Knebworth uk 1975, the wall twice 1980,and 1981 at earls court London, then London docklands arena and Wembley stadium late 80s, the last was Earl's court again 1994 when they filmed the P. U. L. S. E. Division Bell tour. Awsome times back then and i feel very privileged to have seen them live, for some unknown reason though i didn't get to see the Animals tour 1977 which i really regret.
Most people thought Roger was referencing the Whitehouse in DC because no one really knew who Mary Whitehouse was outside of England. It’s part of what made some of the lyrical references a bit obscure. There is really great guitar work the whole album through, I just thought it was particularly strong in Dogs.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives He releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For lo, He hath great power and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
We all know music depends on one's interpretation. My son read the song titles and said, "3 different ones? I think they mean 'The Three Little Pigs' ". So that's what this song is about, to him. He's not incorrect.
Halfway through the song, David Gilmour uses a Heil talk box on the guitar solo to mimic the sound of pigs. This is the first use of a talk box by Pink Floyd. Gilmour also plays a fretted bass guitar, with a pick, doing two short, syncopated bass solos-one before the first verse, another before the third. When the final verse ends and a guitar solo emerges, the bass line moves into a driving eighth note rhythm, sliding up and down the E minor scale in octaves, beneath the chords of E minor and C major seventh. Roger Waters, usually the band's bassist, played a rhythm guitar track on the song instead.
Thanks guys another awesome reaction to another awesome album. Dev after “Animal Farm” check out “Down and Out in Paris and London” by Orwell. It’s a memoir of his time spent in both cities living in poverty.
Hello! I stopped in because "Animals" and I liked your reaction very much! Love the captioning! Your channel name is very eye-catching as well. I have your pt. 1 saved to watch later, out of order, of course, I look forward to more from you!
yeah " The bad blood slowly turns to stone". and stone is repeated not only in Dogs but Sheep. The evil is the stone that finally weigh you down. a warning. IMO
I saw Pink Floyd during their tour for this album back in 1978. Giant pig floating around the arena. It was amazing. I am going to see David Gilmour at Madison Square Garden this November. Where did you get the album cover background. I love it.
I saw them play some of the music off the Animals album live with different lyrics in 1975 when i saw them i have forgotten the original titles of those songs before they changed the lyrics and titles for the Animals album, they also played the wish you were here album live at Knebworth August 1975 before the album wish were here was even released in September 1975 which i was very lucky to have been there to witness.
I remember when this album came out, I was living in Little Rock AR. The Discount Records shop had a Giant Pig Balloon floating above the store!!! LOL!
Dev makes me laugh and asks great questions. I only wish some of the comments you both make while the song is playing are either displayed as text or not muted, as some gets cut. Anyway, thanks both of you for exploring the progressive boomer music that is so adept at allowing your mind to drift to far away places and situations.
I read that some thought Whitehouse is about American government, but it is not, Mary Whitehouse (1910-2001) was hardcore British conservative politician.
Roger Waters did most of the writing & singing on this album, although David Gilmore also sang some of the songs & wrote some of the album. Roger also wrote almost 100 % of the words to The Wall!
Did anyone else notice the similarity of the bass line in the middle of Sheep with the bass line in 'One of These Days' from Meddle? Factiod: On the old 8 track cartridge format (now obsolete), there is an extra guitar bit that links Pigs on the Wing (Parts1 and 2) together as a continuous song. They fetch a high price on the collector's market.
With a beautiful guitar bridge from Snowy White. (Extra deep Factoid; Gilmour performed the bridge section, but the recording got "lost". He was unwilling or unable (opinions differ) to re-record the section, so Snowy was enlisted.) ... The 8 track version is available on YT.
The term progressive, had not been coined at this time. It was just considered another facet of rock. It was actually nice, back when everything didn't need to be labeled so specifically.
Mary, He is talking about Mary Whitehouse .She was a self proclaimed leader for moral outrage as in profanity on TV and in litrature also nudity an sex in films and TV she would go to num 10 with sgned petitions write to newspapers hold protests she was a real pain in the neck. But most Americans assume he is talking bout your Whitehouse and in later performances after floyd parted he would show images of Trump on screen. Please excuse the spelling always been crap at it
GREAT reaction Mike & Dev! Roger Waters has to be one of the most cynical, cantankerous, curmudgeonly old buggers around! He definitely had something to say, and it wasn't good! Such great lyrics and music though, given the negative subject matter. Animals is truly a masterpiece! The events while touring this album is what led to Waters' creating The Wall concept. Famously, a show in Montreal, he got so upset with members of the crowd screaming the song(s) they wanted to hear whilst completely ignoring what was being played that Waters spit at them. While not proud of his actions, he thought how nice it would be to perform behind a wall so not to have to deal with the crowd! I never noted the modified Psalms verse in Sheep until I read the lyrics too! And what a hilarious reimagining of it! Love it. Cheers.
Actually the album is based on the book Animal Farm by George Orwell, its deeper than you think lyrically and musically. These same concepts are still prevalent and very much in existence today.
hey ya'll. so... things are the same then as now really.. young people dissatisfied with the existing culture, then grow up and become the perceived culture, rinse and repeat. Pink Floyd is legendary.. but I tend to fall asleep listening lol
I feel like I'm leading a one man crusade amongst YT PF Reactors... LOL. But you guys do your research and appreciate the music, so I will continue to beat my drum; PLEASE: Don't overlook "Obscured By Clouds." As a lifelong Floydian, it's the album I find I now gravitate to for a "fix" after decades of exposure. It's not a grand concept album, but it's warm and intimate. It's the band in it's pure distilled form. It's a couple of weeks of work, thrown together on the side while they were perfecting Darkside in the studio. And it's beautiful.
In Part 1 you indicated about the preference for Gilmour's voice. Waters voice couldn't be more in place on his vocals. Just like in The Wall. What made them great was the ensemble.
The “STONE” echo is there because it bled all the way through the vinyl into this song. Yes, it’s exactly where it is on side one. Smoke some “Hippy Hay”, listen again. You’ll think it was cooler! Lol
Just maybe the most powerful lyrics of any LP ever. The breaking down of all people into. Sheep... followers...Pigs war mongers. And dogs. 3 different kinds. Olagarts. Epic LP. Nothing better. Right out of 1984. George Orwell.
Roger Waters - lead and harmony vocals, rhythm guitar, tape effects, vocoder David Gilmour - lead guitar, bass guitar, talk box Richard Wright - Hammond organ, ARP String Synthesizer, grand piano, clavinet Nick Mason - drums, cowbell
Animal Farm is a satirical allegorical novella, in the form of a beast fable,[1] by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.[2][3] It tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a state far worse than before. you should read it an exhalent piece of literature we read it as part of our curriculum back in the 70's
The outro guitar on Pigs could've gone on for another couple of minutes. Totally understandable that this was kind of the beginning of the end for the band. As angry as Roger was/is, the rest of the band couldn't have felt that way and would've wanted to make some other, less political music.
Yup, coat cued the music again. I can see boredom on the left - no worries, it took me about a month to get into this album. Try a unique @reaction technique : "Dev's 64'th listen" - I'm sure it will be markedly different.
The suggestion Pig 2 was Margaret Thatcher was an attempt to make the song contemporary to the time this comment was made. The reality is Thatcher was almost three years from becoming prime minister when Animals was recorded.
Thatcher had become leader of the Tories (conservative party) by 1975, so she was one of the most high-profile politicians in Britain,, and she was already showing off her abrasive mix of neo-liberal and moralizing arguments ("you can only be a socialist until the public money runs out"). There's nothing odd about Waters picking up on her confrontational messaging and sensing that she meant business.
@@louise_rose One of ironies was how much of the British music industry fled Labour's Britain because of its super taxes. Waters was one. He returned when Thatcher became prime minister. Thatcher was 51 when Pigs was written, so hardly the old hag in the song. Waters latest wife is older than that. Just. Bus stop? Hatpin (Thatcher was noted for her perm)? Hand gun? What relevance were these to Thatcher c.1976. Pig 2? Maybe it was Waters' mother? He was pretty screwed in his relationship with her.
The third verse of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is NOT about the White House. It's about Mary Whitehouse, a conservative activist at the time when "Animals" was released. :-)
Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told Get out of the road if you want to grow old like covid lockdowns ay. except the whole side has turned into the crazy left instead of the right.
Roger Waters is definitely a concept man. And an activist today. But sadly the music got less interesting IMO. Too much focus on the lyrical content on next albums, a bit less on the music. I've heard he's working on his memoirs now. He could have been a writer, but that's a totally different discipline, and not an easy one.
now try The Nile Song, Wolfpack by syd barrett, Granchester Meadows, Lucifer Sam, Juliet Dream, think ya into floyd cuz ya buzzed through Animals .................... i'll send hard cash if you make it half way to Mildenhall, work that out and i guess you ain't as dumb as soup. no insult intended , but do you think Floyd knocked all this out for fun? MAGOG BROMINE CHAMBER. google that if you dare.

Agree 100% on PF and LZ.
I discovered TW about 9 weeks ago, they are the future of ROCK 🤟🤟
I love that Dev says sheep are cuddly, innocent and sweet, and then a few minutes later PF describe them as demented avengers while they kill the dogs.
And just a note about Mary Whitehouse (and kudos for checking in advance - so many Americans assume it's about the US President) - as a teenager in the 70s she was one of the most despised people in Britain.

Effin horrible woman she was
Poor people who have never seen Pink Floyd. I am 65 and long live the old people . And naturally , thank you Pink Floyd for these moments of ecstasy ! Gilmour guitarist and Roger Waters bassist !
Seen this concert in Cleveland Stadium.
I'm 67 and was lucky to have seen Floyd six times over the years the first was Knebworth uk 1975, the wall twice 1980,and 1981 at earls court London, then London docklands arena and Wembley stadium late 80s, the last was Earl's court again 1994 when they filmed the P.

This is the best Floyd album in my opinion , Meddle was awesome also as well as the obligatory ones!🏴
Thanks for this, Mike and Dev! I love this album and still have the vinyl I bought when this came out in '77.
Yeah, me too
My favorite Pink Floyd album! Thanks for sharing :)
Orwellian doesn't begin to describe it. Still one of the best Floyd albums. Always will be.
My favorite Floyd album.
You beat me to it by three months.(I'm still going to post it myself!) 🐷
My favorite Floyd album
My fav Pink Floyd album! love how the Sheep rise up and learn karate and thru revolt become the new power in place!!
Most people thought Roger was referencing the Whitehouse in DC because no one really knew who Mary Whitehouse was outside of England. It’s part of what made some of the lyrical references a bit obscure.
There is really great guitar work the whole album through, I just thought it was particularly strong in Dogs.
Killer, killer song. So intense
The guitar work on Sheep is amazing
The format you two use with the subtitles is fantastic! I’ve been screaming at reactioners for years. I saw the Animals tour! I’m old✌️❤️
The sound quality here is much better than most videos. Headphones a must.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Hell yeah, the Lord’s Prayer, Pink Floyd style!
Sometimes I will listen to Pigs (Three Different Ones) just to hear David Gilmour’s amazing bass line.
We all know music depends on one's interpretation.
My son read the song titles and said, "3 different ones? I think they mean 'The Three Little Pigs' ".
So that's what this song is about, to him. He's not incorrect.
My most memorable concert, June 19, 1977 Soldier Field Chicago, Animals tour. Surround sound and 60k souls.
Halfway through the song, David Gilmour uses a Heil talk box on the guitar solo to mimic the sound of pigs. This is the first use of a talk box by Pink Floyd. Gilmour also plays a fretted bass guitar, with a pick, doing two short, syncopated bass solos-one before the first verse, another before the third.

Roger Waters, usually the band's bassist, played a rhythm guitar track on the song instead.
Omg listening to this when it came out and I was in High School..me and my friend getting high and zoning out to this was an amazing time..
My favorite Floyd concert out of several. We were at Pig height in the rafters for this,❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
@@docnflossie7351 me too! 🐷🐑🐕✌️❤️
Thanks guys another awesome reaction to another awesome album.
Dev after “Animal Farm” check out “Down and Out in Paris and London” by Orwell. It’s a memoir of his time spent in both cities living in poverty.
I love the song and as usual enjoyed your understated reactions.
Great reaction! We called this head music, because everyone lit one up. Played laid back and enjoyed !
Hello! I stopped in because "Animals" and I liked your reaction very much! Love the captioning! Your channel name is very eye-catching as well. I have your pt. 1 saved to watch later, out of order, of course, I look forward to more from you!
The passage immediately before the 'lord's prayer' is your approach to the abbatoir! This is Pink Floyd's best album by some margin.
I think the guitar sounds so funky because it's the album where Dave used a Telecaster throughout. Has a more biting/cutting tone.
Huge fan of this album. Was only 12 when it was released. Superb
David Gilmour played bass on "Pigs" and "Sheep" because Waters couldn't master the fretless bass the way he wanted it to sound.
read "animal farm" to understand what they where thinking
You've got it exactly right. The second verse is about Margaret Thatcher.
yeah " The bad blood slowly turns to stone". and stone is repeated not only in Dogs but Sheep. The evil is the stone that finally weigh you down. a warning. IMO
"The Stone" is, in fact, a recurring theme throughout The Floyd's body of work. It's not exclusive to Animals.
Long time coming, but after all the darkness, the triumphal guitars at the end of 'sheep' were magnificent.
Great concert, Cleveland Stadium, $7.50 ticket
I saw Pink Floyd during their tour for this album back in 1978. Giant pig floating around the arena. It was amazing. I am going to see David Gilmour at Madison Square Garden this November. Where did you get the album cover background. I love it.

@johnroberthines7811 Dogs was originally titled You've Got to be Crazy while Sheep was Raving and Drooling
There's a lot of good music out there, and then there's Pink Floyd.
I remember when this album came out, I was living in Little Rock AR. The Discount Records shop had a Giant Pig Balloon floating above the store!!! LOL!
This and Wish you were here are my 2 fav PF albums
Sheep !!!!🐑🐑
Dev makes me laugh and asks great questions. I only wish some of the comments you both make while the song is playing are either displayed as text or not muted, as some gets cut. Anyway, thanks both of you for exploring the progressive boomer music that is so adept at allowing your mind to drift to far away places and situations.

I wonder, what type of music does Dev listen to and love? Deliberately ))
Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Tori Amos
the best Floyd albums are ones you hafta listen to in entirety, which is pretty much all of em
The term progressive, had not been coined at this time.
It was just considered another facet of rock.
It was actually nice, back when everything didn't need to be labeled so specifically.
Mary, He is talking about Mary Whitehouse .She was a self proclaimed leader for moral outrage as in profanity on TV and in litrature also nudity an sex in films and TV she would go to num 10 with sgned petitions write to newspapers hold protests she was a real pain in the neck. But most Americans assume he is talking bout your Whitehouse and in later performances after floyd parted he would show images of Trump on screen. Please excuse the spelling always been crap at it
GREAT reaction Mike & Dev! Roger Waters has to be one of the most cynical, cantankerous, curmudgeonly old buggers around! He definitely had something to say, and it wasn't good! Such great lyrics and music though, given the negative subject matter. Animals is truly a masterpiece!
The events while touring this album is what led to Waters' creating The Wall concept.

hey ya'll. so... things are the same then as now really.. young people dissatisfied with the existing culture, then grow up and become the perceived culture, rinse and repeat.
Pink Floyd is legendary.. but I tend to fall asleep listening lol
I feel like I'm leading a one man crusade amongst YT PF Reactors... LOL.
But you guys do your research and appreciate the music, so I will continue to beat my drum;
PLEASE:
Don't overlook "Obscured By Clouds."
As a lifelong Floydian, it's the album I find I now gravitate to for a "fix" after decades of exposure.
It's not a grand concept album, but it's warm and intimate.
It's the band in it's pure distilled form. It's a couple of weeks of work, thrown together on the side while they were perfecting Darkside in the studio.
And it's beautiful.
I said "Ominous" about 3 seconds before you did!!
This is a lot like "Have a cigar" except Roger Waters is singing this song. Roy Harper sang "cigar" for them in the studio.
In Part 1 you indicated about the preference for Gilmour's voice. Waters voice couldn't be more in place on his vocals. Just like in The Wall. What made them great was the ensemble.

oh roger pickin ol mary whitehouse again lol
I reckon this track has some of Roger Waters' best bass guitar work, awesome!
Just maybe the most powerful lyrics of any LP ever. The breaking down of all people into. Sheep... followers...Pigs war mongers. And dogs. 3 different kinds. Olagarts. Epic LP. Nothing better. Right out of 1984. George Orwell.
Right out of animal farm Orwell

The redhead on the left is so hot. Who cares what the music is 👍🏻
Thier refering to mary whitehouse from England
9:19 subBASS waves
(if you do not hear them, you have a weak audio setup)
Waters did have a dark outlook on society, sometimes with reason, but an amazing album
Shrooms!
The harmonies can be done by the same person with multi-tracks and/or overdubbing.
This is one of the greatest albums of all time and this reaction video is nicely done, but Dev looks so not into it, it's quite comical
Progressive at the time? I don't know. We called it head music.
It got so bad Roger spat on a audience member.

Watch Roger waters - pigs live. 🤌🤌
"Was this album considered progressive at the time?" In retrospect, it was punker than punk.
Oh, and most governments of most countries screw us off all the time. it's just that with age we become complacent. Talk about adulthood.
Madame ...Dear Lady...ascolti i Pink Floyd senza cuffie ?!?🎧🎧🎧
Ma NOOOO !!!
TI PERDI TANTO !!!
The third verse of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is NOT about the White House. It's about Mary Whitehouse, a conservative activist at the time when "Animals" was released. :-)
Have you heard the news?

Do you realize that's a slaughter house behind you
It's battersea power station
This remastered version has too heavy drums, in my opinion. Originally they don't make such a punch, thus drowning the music.
Worst lyrical PF album. Horrible Waters claptrap.
Just like what is going on now.
