-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
Alex’s FIRST TIME ever hearing DOGS!! Shall we continue on with the next track in the album? 🔥
OF COURSE!
Sheep should be next! But, you really should do UFO Lights Out!
Absolutely! Do the whole album.
MASSIVE THUMBS UP- Social Commentary, lyrics, musicianship, superior work
Absolutely
When they talk about the Gilmour Effect, I always think of this guitar solo. Probably my favorite Floyd song
Dude, WHICH solo? :)
@@David-iv6je Yeah exactly. Which one? Ahahha
@@David-iv6je well, for me it’s the third/outro solo that is amazing… the whole song is played 1 step lower for all string instruments, but when Gilmour went into the booth to record that last one, the guitar he had was in regular tuning. You can hear him scrambling all over the fret board trying to figure out WTF is going on here. So he goes up and down, bends here, super bend there, till it clicks and he figures it out as he goes that he needs to play 1 step(2frets) lower to be « in key ». And thats the result, one of his finest!
@@rumking1391 Not sure which part you are talking about. My favorite is the 3 part harmony solos, which I think of as "Set pieces" (the second starts at 16:50 here). They also have a fourth guitar echo the first phrase of the theme way up high. very intelligent composition, and something relatively new to DG with this degree of expression. (He was doing it in Shine On, but not as pronounced).
I always knew he used DGCFAD (one step down) al tuning so he could play open string chord forms in Dmin instead of Emin. Didn't know if that affected any of his solos. Surely The Man knew he was in D and simply soloed two frets down? For a solo on upper frets it is elementary, and independent of tuning as long as the relative tuning of each string is the same.
@@David-iv6je - I agree totally with you regarding those set guitar pieces - for me a magical moment in the composition of this piece.
Some of Gilmore’s most expressive guitar work in my opinion.
Gilmour*
And not even using his Strat

A dark behemoth of a track. The older I get, the more the lyrics resonate.
I remember buying the Animals album on release. I thought at the time it can't be as good as Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here, l was wrong! 😉 Fantastic from start to finish 👌
This album for me would have to grow on me.
This song I DO like!
Now that I’ve read comments on this album, I understand the concept. Have listened in the past while up doing housework. Now, I’ll put in the buds and listen in its entirety! Thanks y’all !!!
My elder sister bought this shortly after its release and we both were consumed by it for months!! I still dive back in with this entire album in my phone selection (which is over 2800 songs, BTW). I can understand not listening to this track over and over and over coz it is dark and heavy and emotional but definitely worth about 4 or 5 times a year :-)
Keith Jones. I agree. For me, the best Floyd Album ever made!
I bought it immediately after it was released, (as I did with all Bowie and LZ albums) and to be honest, I found at first to be dark and sinister. After one month, it became my favourite album....and still is today.
This album is better than both of those albums.......combined!
Animals is an incredible album that should be listened to in its entirety. 🐖🐕🐑
👍
@@lesblatnyak5947 🎅
100% Agree!
@@karens9900 🎅
Pretty much the only proper way to listen to Floyd from DSOTM to The Wall, drop the needle on side one and let ‘er play!
I saw this performed live at the Philadelphia Spectrum in 1977. I remember every second of it. It was the most amazing live performance of anything I've ever seen.
I saw this same show 3 days before in Cleveland (Municipal Stadium-World Series of Rock). This song stood out and the whole light show was incredible!
I envy you!! I saw them briefly on the shoulders of a relative 5-7 in their early days - local town hall sort of thing. My first was the wall 1980 earls court (still have original posters framed)
As said envy any of you who saw DSOTM, WYWH, A, and before !!! Recently a copy of The Wall Earls Court aopeared on TH-cam.
OMG! The Spectrum! Dude, you just brought back a tidal wave of memories, at least what I can remember😆 (lots of mind altering chemicals)Those were the days!
ME TOO!!!!!! Philly !!
:)...Yo...17 in 77 - SWP...:)...You're a lucky man...We loved this album back then...You're a lucky man!
All Pink Floyd albums are equal. But some are more equal than others...
lol I liked that xD
Meddle is my fav
Lol, I see what you did there🐖🐖
Arthur Carlson: "Do I hear dogs on this record?"
Dr. Johnny Fever: "I do."
Great reference, lol. They should totally check out that clip from WKRP in Cincinnati, hilarious!
@@JC-es5un th-cam.com/video/UPABesa7wcE/w-d-xo.html
Scrolled comments to see if someone mentioned this, my first taste of Floyd as a kid. Much later when i finally listened to this album, i totally understood why Johnny was so still, listening, he was transported until the Turkey Killer showed up
Frkng hilarious
Gripping!
SHEEP is an absolute ‘S-tier’ banger! More vocal to synth transition madness here!🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏
my fav
My fave as well.
The vocal to synth transitions are the best!
I regret that I have only one like to give this comment. This whole album is S-Tier without any doubt!
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dreammmmmm....
When Waters starts singing after the long break WOW, love his vocals
Gilmore sang the vocals. Not Waters.
@@beerman1957 Nah, dogg. Waters takes over vocals starting with the line, "Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused..."
@@beerman1957 Only before the long break. Waters on 2nd part.
@@KyleS.1987 Yup, what this man says. Gilmour before the interlude, Waters after.
Music is very Gilmourian, so you can probably give him credit for a lot of the musical composition.
David first ( the longest part ) then Roger comes in near the end.
Is there any section of this track that Dave Gilmour isn't literally on fire, setting light to your ears?
Roger Water's lyrics are deadly. As amazing as the music is, and it's some of their best, Roger's lyrics are the strongest part of this song.
Gilmour is singing
Oops I read wrong. I thought you said Roger Waters’ singing. I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd since 1970. I love every song they put out since then, but I have to admit, I don’t care for Roger Waters at all he almost destroyed Pink Floyd.
@@jeffbruns2421the vocals are shared and Waters wrote pigs, sheep, pigs on a wing both musically and lyrically. The only song on Animals with shared credits is dogs.
Yes! The whole album - my favorite album by them. 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼
Animals is a very underrated album. It deserves to be played in full. It kind of fell through the cracks with "Wish You Were Here" preceding and "The Wall" following it.
Animals is best known as their most underrated album.
...By pretty much everyone.
...
For a truly overlooked gem, I recommend "Obscured By Clouds."
Much more...obscure.
it's far superior to The Wall in my opinion.
Yeah, Rolling Stone gave it a shitty review. I think they had told the big record companies to go F themselves.
Animals is probably my favorite Floyd album. Musically intense!
For some reason I can't get into it,it just doens't do it for me.
@@Lechuque I don't know why but that's the way i feel about The Wall. Been listening to Floyd ever since Meddle came out. Definitely Wish You Were Here & Animal's are the two albums I've listened to the most all these years.
Animals is more spare, dark and heavy than WYWH, DSotM or earlier albums. The Wall went even more spare, with less complex orchestration. The "Trial" stuff in The Wall also turns some rock fans off. (I'm OK with it in the context of a rock opera/concept album.)
But having figured out and gotten good at all the guitar parts throughout, I consider WYWH to be best in guitar licks with Animals a close second. But there are a few on the Wall and even The Final Cut that are chillingly good guiat parts.
@@David-iv6je Parts of The Wall sounds like a Broadway musical, not my cup of tea. WYWH is my personal favorite, "Animals" is probably number 2 for me...
@@pulsarlights2825 Yes, that's exactly it. I'm not overly fond of them, but I do appreciate their impact in the context of a concept album. Most other concept albums with a strong stoiy also make some compromises that depart from the usual fare. Compared to a loose concept album like, say, Sgt. Pepper's or Ziggy Stardust.
Saw this performed live summer of '77. Dogs howling around the periphery of Soldier Field in Chicago, giant flying pig, the whole 9 yards. Kick Azz! Makes me feel lucky to be my age. Lol
Seen the same show in Cleveland. Mind blowing experience.
me too at anaheim stadium in california. it was the concert that set me on my 44 year journey with pink floyd.
You are lucky indeed. This is so awesome.
I saw them in Milwaukee!! ✌🎼🎤🎸
Saw it in Philly. Unbelieveable.
Best Gilmour solo of all time might be at the end of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" from Animals. It's a hair-rising-on-the-back-of-your-neck moment when he swoops in with that first screaming bend.
This whole album, as much as it is loved by fans, is still, in my opinion, underrated - even by me! This song is immaculate, and Sheep is always better than I remember it being. Dogs is a masterpiece. Any other band, this would be their absolute Pinnacle. For Floyd, it's just one among many.
You really don't have to have read "Animal Farm" to listen to this album, to be honest. The only concepts from that book are the three archetypes of Dogs, Pigs and Sheep. Roger frames those ideas in his own way.
Agreed. I bought this CD in high school not knowing in a few months we would be reading Orwell's book. Because of Pink Floyd I was thoroughly engaged.
Dogs were the law enforcement/military - Pigs were the rich/politians - Sheep were citizens.
An incredibly dark song, but damn, is it a doozy. Beautiful solos and cutting lyrics. If it weren't for Gilmour's magical voice, this song might be a bit too dour for me. With all that said, Animals is a masterpiece.
Well stated! Perhaps that's the brilliance... It's that contrast of the dark theme being delivered in a such a gorgeous sonic package. Agree... Masterpiece! :)
Gilmour and Waters wrote the songs, but Waters did most of the vocals. This is why the lyrics are so dark. Waters was all doom and gloom.
@@georgeclarke8137 I assume you mean Waters wrote most of the lyrics.
@@georgeclarke8137 Waters wrote the lyrics of course (Gilmour was not good at lyrics). But Waters only sang the last section. That's all Gilmour on vocals before the interlude.
This was a Floyd secret weapon: two lead vocalists and even a third if you count sporadic appearances by Wright on lead (famously, the bridge of Time). Waters and Gilmour also split vocal duties on "Comfortably Numb: Waters is the minor key verses, Gilmour the major key (and hence more optimistic) choruses.
Animals is definitely Floyd’s “peak of creativity”. An absolute epic. And wish you were here is right there with it.
This song also has one of my favorite lyrics of all time.....
"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in"
Sounds like politicians...
It's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around. Is mine.
Do you work in a bank?
In the end, you’ll pack up
Fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer.
That part can't be taken out of the context of the song's lyric, otherwise it would be very misunderstood.
Disappointed by the A, even relative to their other work. This is easily one of their best.
I agree! I'm very disappointed.
Andy should have thrown a fit over Alex’s A rating. Nothing less than S+ for Dogs is acceptable. :)
This is arguably the best song Pink Floyd ever made right next to Echoes.
Echoes was voted by whatever group of experts to be the most well composed song ever, weighed against Bach and Brahms, and all the old heavy hitters.
YESSSS!!!!
My man over here.
Not arguably to me.
It is so great - became my fave PF song on its release as a teen. Saw them on their Animals tour. They came out and did the entire album in running order - took a short break and came out to do Wish you were here - start to finish. Encores were a selection from DSOM. Fucking awesome concert - S tier for sure
@@finalsecretofchrono1339 Echoes imo is their best song.
"Dogs" was used in a scene from the sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati" th-cam.com/video/UPABesa7wcE/w-d-xo.html
Alternately, play Three wishes by Roger Waters. ( The man has to be forgiven some day)
Do I hear dogs?
I do.
WKRP was the best.
The first time me and 3 of my buddies ever tried LSD, it was March of 1989, we were camping, and one of my friends had this on cassette. It was our soundtrack that weekend! I was 18 then, 51 now, and this album always returns me to that day. One of the best days of my life! Changed me forever in many ways!! I've never looked at a tree or a cloud the same! Holds a special place in my spirit!!!
53 here. The company I work for does not randomly test for weed anymore due to covid. I treat myself to Dogs and weed a couple of times a month now.
The irony is that these guys HATED LSD. Pink Floyd was NOT A DRUG BAND. (That being said, I took partake on rare occasion.)
First time I did mescaline, I did "Echoes".
I would have to disagree about Floyd hating LSD. They hated that LSD burned out Sid Barrett’s brain. But I never heard any of them say that they never took hallucinogens. They may not have used LSD to play the music but I’m sure they used it to write it. When you listen to Pink Floyd, on a trip to music goes directly to the right spot in your brain and it’s 100 times better because you understand it on the same level as the people who created it…my opinion 😊
Really disappointed with the "A". This is a masterpiece. Plus, why judge this song against Pink Floyd's other songs? This song compared to most music across the board is epic.
They should really consider just going to a “Spin or smash” format. Their ratings are all over the place.
This song gets better with repeated listenings
@@alrivers2297 True. Most great ones do.
Yes Deborah. I agree
It's just a whole lot to take in in your first listening unless ur a very experienced and a very good listener of songs or a composer
This is in my top 3 PF albums. Funny story - I used to play this for my little canine companion and she would always start howling along with the dogs during those parts. She is long gone, but I still cherish that memory we shared. S tier in my dog's opinion. Thank you PF.
Animals is one of the most underrated albums ever, further proving the genius that the Floyd possessed!
I am very tired of people describing well known, highly acclaimed works, artists, etc. as “underrated .”
@@markhamstra1083 then take a nap 😉
@@ronturner846 I’ve had a good night’s sleep, but it didn’t improve the situation. There are still far too many people trying to elevate themselves for having the quality to appreciate something that they label as “underrated” when, in fact, that thing has long been known, loved and praised by a very large number of people. I’m afraid another remedy is required.
Your analysis is confusing me just as much as the song. I guess I don't get Floyd enough to dive that deep. Radio stuff cool, but to all you hard core Floyd fans: Rock on, Rockon.🎶🎵🎶🎵
Thank you, I certainly will 🤗
PF's finest album, in my book.
Absolutely epic transitions. Perfect song for this chilly Monday.
I still love the story about how the inflated pig had some trouble with the heavy winds in London.... I loved the Animals album, but somehow a bit dark, always preferred to play Dark SIde of the Moon, WIsh You Were Here or The Wall. There are a few songs by Pink Floyd you can give S, but not this one, they did more beautiful ones.
The whole song is a set up for that last bit: "Who was...." over and over until they hit you with the second "Dragged down by the stone", only the second time it has maximum impact. If THAT doesn't give you chills, I don't know what will. Man...does that song sum up the way things are today or what?
S+++++
Dogs is the main reason that Animals is my favorite Floyd album. Pigs and Sheep would be 2 more reasons. Anyone else out there old enough to have heard this album on 8 track with the Snowy White solos during Pigs On the Wing 1 & 2?
Agreed… wore thru 3 different 8-tracks of “Animals”. Snowy White shines on that solo. Too bad most folks are unfamiliar with that track as one piece, not the split version from the album. ;-)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow this is going to be so sweet I love this journey and everybody's going to tell you you have to do the whole album but I don't care it's going to be great
IMO Animals is gold, it never gets old for me
This is S Tier all day for me. My favorite Gilmour guitar work btw and I can relate to the lyrics on a real level. I don't think of it as being so dark, it's just part the real world out there. It actually lifts me up because it's a confirmation of things I know and others do too. Thanks for doing this, Gents. Cheers!
It’ll never get old watching someone listen to Floyd and seeing them get lost the EXACT same way you guys do. Music expert, music novice, first time listener, seasoned floyd fan…doesnt matter. You put them on and the music just envelops you…truly one of a kind.
My absolute favorite Floyd and possibly my all time favorite Floyd
React to both Pigs On The Wing songs with the hidden guitar solo from Snowy White!
“One of the number 1 movies of the entire decade”, The Godfather. Ok, don’t expect movie expertise from y’all but: it is one of the number 1 movies EVER! Just sayin.
You have to do Pigs next
Was hoping your next long song was going to be "Supper's Ready". No worries, but please play it soon! Cheers and Happy Monday!
Yes! They gotta start diving into more genesis.
THE Best Pink Floyd track EVER.
I can't believe you haven't done Dogs yet! Be right back, I have to... prepare for this experience
👍🏼🤣
First time I heard this song I would have given it Alex's grade. 40+ years later, I feel it's definitely worthy of Andy's grade.
I'll never forget when this album came out, it literally exploded onto the scene!! Animals was in its day, the penultimate album to trip to, although the entire Floyd catalog works adequately for that purpose.
The penultimate album? What was the first then? Space Ritual?
@@markbrown4127 "Fluffy Poo-Poo and the Magic Three-Bean Casserole"
@Bookhouse Boy I'm wearing that t-shirt right now!! Tbh I was pointing out the meaning of penultimate haha
Got high to this album weekly for a year. Back in the 90's
BRO LONG TIME FAN OF PINK FLOYD FOR SURE AND IT IS TRUE WHAT Y SAID HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
I don't know if I would give this an S. I think I'm in between Andy and Alex on this one. I would give this an A+
*Mr. Carlson:* _"Do I hear _*_dogs_*_ barking on that thing?"_
*Johnny Fever:* _"I do."_
This memory made me smile! Thanks!
It will make your dogs howl .
Mood Music Monday! Gorgeous to vibe out to. I'll admit, I haven't listened to this in a long while. However, gotta admit it's chicken soup for the soul. Comforting! Great start to week. Have a wonderful day fellas! 💞✌️🤗☃️👋
"Chicken soup for the soul". Ha! Writing it down. 📝
@@flubblert There ya go! haha 😉 Have a great day flubbert 😊🙌
@@lisaw5604 👍
I saw the Animals tour at MSG. But it was actually The Wish You Were Here/ Animals Tour as they played Wish You Were Here in it's entirety, took a break, played Animals in its entirety, took another break then played Time & Money. An amazing show.
Animals and Meddle are my favorite PF albums. The lyrics on Animals are so good!
Pretty much the same with me.
After 45 years of listening to them, same.
Yeah, that’s probably me as well. I tend to waffle a bit, depending on mood, age, what I’m listening to at the time etc.
Me too
I don't normally second guess either one of your ratings, but A? Are you kidding? This is a masterpiece track from a masterpiece Album.. Furthermore, comparing it to other PF tracks is unfair. How do you improve or even match so many masterpieces?
This is the Floyd's last great album. The last real group effort before the band turned into the Roger Waters Experience. It's also probably either their best or their second best.
To me Dark Side of the Moon is the quintessence of their work, but Animals is definitively my second favorite and their second most epic IMO.
The Wall was their last great album with Waters, but The Division Bell is the group's last great album overall
My understanding is that This is rogers Capitalist interpretation of the Socialist themed book Animal Farm. The Pigs are the masters (think politicians, business owners…etc) the sheep are the mindless followers, and the dogs are the hustling middle men who do the pigs bidding, think salesman or police officer. In the end roger figured himself a dog as evidenced by the lyrics of the last song on the album and interviews over the years.
What can be said? Pink Floyd is the absolute finest band in the Universe.
Definitely in my personal Top 10! And probably the best concert I've ever attended (Milwaukee, 1977)
I seen the Cleveland show in 77. It's amazing all these well decades later l can still remember it like it was yesterday.
Perfect song for me to listen to on my lunch break in between processing documents for corporate lawyers ...
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album. I always seem to have to listen to this whole album not just one track.
I bought this album in high school for the price of a joint 2$ back in the day I personally think it's Pink Floyds best album
Nice that you did "Pigs On the Wing" as the intro.. "Dogs" is the first chapter in this conceptual masterpiece. You must continue with " Pigs(Three Different Ones)", and then "Sheep ", closing with "Pigs On the Wing, Pt. 2" to complete the experience.. Thanks, guys..
So they should just listen to the album in its entirety
Animals for me is second only to DSOTM.
Yay! I got to see the Portland stop on the original Animals tour. Sublime, my second favorite concert (after seeing The Who with Keith). Souring double guitar tracks. What’s not to love? Thanks lads!
I saw the Chicago stop at Soldier Field. One of the highlights of my life.
I caught the Tampa show at the big sombrero. Giant inflatable pigs floating over the crowd. Quite the show.
I was there too at the Portland Memorial Coliseum. They played Animals then Wish You Were Here, and as an encode played Money. Without a doubt the best rock concert I ever attended. The sound quality was fantastic and it wasn't extremely loud...perfect actually!
Nice, starting with "Pigs on the Wing (Part 1)" before diving into the darkness of "Dogs"
First time seeing PF was at the old Tampa “Sombrero” stadium. I was 2 hours into “ shrooms”, and they hit me with the Animals album, and more. I can tell you I was mesmerized for hours! Nothing like Pink Floyd live.
That Tampa show was incredible. I just wish I remembered more of it.
They were a thing among my peers. Kids in my HS did all kinds of drugs and stuff then, crazy they survived to adulthood, lol.
This went from being one of my favorites, to one of my least favorites. I get the appeal, it's very much of a 'clear your time and listen', it's like a darker version of Wish You Were Here, an already dark album.
However, I noticed that it had a shelf life for me, and I never go back to this album anymore. Probably just too much heh. You can really feel the tension in the band, and frustration of Waters, and while that makes for good art, it is an emotion that I just can't spend too much time in.
Interesting, I have the exact opposite experience with those two albums. I have no desire to listen to Wish You We’re Here ever again, (though it used to be a favorite), but Animals still sounds fresh to me.
@@briancullen9575 Radio kind of killed the middle 3 songs of Wish You Were Here as well. They're both great conceptual albums. One reason I like The Wall is that it was a good change up in style, while retaining the concepts from both.
Do some Leon Russell. Been long overdue.
Here's my video of Roger Waters at Tacoma Dome. 6-24-17.
"Dogs" followed by "Pigs" !!!
th-cam.com/video/PpuX4SALPSw/w-d-xo.html
SQUEEEEE! It's time for another Andy & Alex reaction! 😺
Probably my favorite Floyd tune
I had not listened to this song in probably 30 years! What struck me is how much the intro portion of the song sounds like The Gunner’s Dream off the Final Cut album, which happens to be one of my favorite Pink Floyd tunes. If you have any friends or family members in the military, this one will hit home.
The Final Cut is extremely underrated, IMO.
the whole final cut album is underrated
Lyrics, guys! Read the lyrics!
the first part they played was Pigs On the Wing part 2, Dogs begins around 2:40 on this video
Part 1.
The War on Terror and the Covid Hysteria is nothing compared to the Cold War. It went on for decades. Whatever faith that survived the wars was destroyed. A simpler time when all we had to fear was total thermonuclear war.
Animals is easily my favorite Pink Floyd album.
Pigs
One of my favorites... thanks!
I smoked a crapload of weed to this album back in the day. I love this album the most of all the Floyd albums.
Floyd is an S tier BAND. Period.
WKRP in Cincinnati - Pink Floyd LOL

GOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!!!
☮️❤️♾️
My favorite Floyd album.
When I was 20, this resonated with me mostly sonically.
As a 61 year old now, this epic has both helped AND hurt me by it's lyrics giving me a reluctant understanding of my pending mortality.
I hear ya. Once you become the senior generation so many things that once brought pleasure now bring bittersweet musings on one's own limited time.
truth. but it could serve as a warning and a chance to avoid becoming that sad old man
Maybe my favorite PF song
One of the fastest clicks ever. I don't know if Animals is my what I'd consider PF's best album, but it's certainly my favorite. Enjoy!
This is their best album in my opinion. Been loving floyd a long time. It's actually based on Mary Whitehouse or something, a corrupt English parliamentary individual. There's a animal farm cartoon like drawing with the album
It's so original - if you ever have a brutal corp job where you are fighting for position + protecting your corner etc only to realise it's all BS and suddenly you don't know who you are anymore - that's where the lyrics really speak to you.
It isn't that Dogs, or anything off of Animals, isn't excellent.
It's that Pink Floyd's other songs, such as Echoes, or Comfortably Numb, are basically PERFECT.
Not my type of PF. I'm more into Dark Side and The Wall.
It is impossible to hear a Pink Floyd song for the first time and then assess it in a way as if you have heard it...You can't possibly have heard this song in one listen...So, please young men, the adoption of the "Musical Critic" and then making pronouncements after the first listen isn't authentic...what would be much more enjoyable is to introduce the song, do a small reaction then listen 10 X...Then come back and give us the real opinion.
Good point!
I really like this album, but Sheep is my favorite song. Having learned of the band’s increasing dissatisfaction with Roger’s dominance within the band (if that’s the best way to describe it) Gilmour’s aggressive playing on Sheep (and as you mentioned, his “un-Gilmour-like” playing) sounded like he was expressing those emotions through his playing. As WYWH soared with its soulful and painful tribute, this album feels like the band is ready explode with pent up anger and frustration and Gilmour’s playing articulates that.
Agree,Agree,Agree!
Synthing the dog barks is a genius move
Animals is my favorite PF album. It is beautiful musically and lyrically
Your really need to hit ‘There’s No Way Out Of Here’ off of Davila Gilmour’s solo album after you finish Animals
