    Animals is an album that requires paying close attention to the lyrics. The dystopyian nightmare. Probably their most lyrically sophisticated album. Or maybe The Wall. It's also the album where they (Roger Waters) started sounding really angry. Animals is their Heavy Metal album. The dog barking sound effect was made by playing a keyboard through a vocoder. Animals also has David's Gilmour's best guitar playing. He plays multiple EPIC solos all over this album. A++

      Peart has said before that he likes Mason as a player and I think he is a good drummer. He might be as good as Peart or Bonham, but he doesn’t really get to show it on that kind of level in Floyd. Your claims might be true, but you wouldn’t know it by listening to Floyd. It’s Gilmour who gets to really shine whereas in Rush and Zeppelin all of their members get to show off their chops on almost every song, especially true with Rush.

    Pink Floyd always created soundscapes - places to visit and marvel at, full of meticulously composed music and lyrics, with hundreds of subtle (and often experimental) uses of new tech (ie, more than 16 tracks available to record with, synthesisers, loops and stereo panning). So nice to see that the new, fresh sounds I heard back in the 70's when this album came out are still working their magic on another generation. Or at least on you, who clearly appreciate what you're hearing.'Pigs on the wing' is a great acoustic piece to learn - and I'm sure we'd all love seeing you play it! PS Love that last sound on 'Dogs' - like a power station closing down. Which is what the building on the cover photo was - Battersea power station, London, UK.

      It's electrical interference.
      As a guitar player, I can tell you we deal with interference all the time. Single coil pickups always pick up a constant hum from the electricity itself.
      Then we have to watch out for computers, monitors, tv's, phones, vapes, remote controls, fluorescent lights, sun spots, even power tools being used down the street, they all make audible noise through the amp.
      But then there's also just bad wiring in your house. That'll create all sorts of audible noise too.
      When I play guitar, I literally have to turn off everything else, and keep the guitar at a 90 degree angle from the amp to minimize noise. If I face the amp, or have my back to it, loads of unwanted noise.

      I think Mason is underrated. He’s definitely the right drummer for Floyd, embellishing and creating the perfect supporting structure for the soundscapes that make this band so great. He has a unique and interesting jazz inspired approach, however Neil Peart he is not and not Bonham either, I think any serious drummer including Mason himself would tell you that.

    • @gelsol

      All the members in Floyd are master textural players, with Gilmour being the one member who could be considered a virtuoso. I don't think Mason has the technical chops of someone like Bonham or Peart, but I don't love him any less, in fact I like him more overall than Peart. Mason is like RIngo Starr. He plays what needs to be played, and it's perfect for the song.

      @mdav30 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      What makes Nick Mason so good is his groove/swing. I would argue his feel and groove is as good as Bill Ward and better than Bonham or Peart. Bonham and Pert were both more technical and power drummers, but neither could play as funky-in-the-pocket as Nick Mason or Bill Ward do (Echoes is maybe the best example, but he really just does it every time). Part of the reason I prefer Sabbath and Floyd to Rush or Zep.

    Great reaction. This is Pink Floyd's version of Animal Farm, where the "animals" he is describing are groups of people in society. Dogs, Pigs and Sheep. The lyrics are heavy and dark, but the music is so captivating - they really stretched out here, and Dogs is a great example of that.

    I really love that you're listening to these entire albums, the way they were meant to be experienced. Also liking the fact that you're going through them in chronological order, from Dark Side of the Moon, so far. You should keep that up, then maybe work your way backward afterwards to see where and how they developed their sound.
    After Animals, The Wall. You may need to split that up into four parts as it's a double album. Please don't skip The Final Cut, it's fantastic and there aren't nearly enough reaction videos for it. I, and some others, tend to think of The Final Cut as a Waters album that's backed by Pink Floyd. I also tend to think of Momentary Lapse of Reason as a Gilmour album, before a return to a more of a full band effort put in with The Division Bell.
    Anyway, love what you're doing here. Keep up the good work. I love to see younger generations discover the music I grew up with. Looking forward to more.

    Outstanding reaction (and thanks for doing the entire side1). When you get to side 2, you'll need to understand the overall concept (a re-imagining of George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm") to portray Roger's version of life in GB during the '70's. Simply put, the dogs represent 'big' business, the pigs are the political factions, and the sheep are the citizens getting screwed over by both. You can draw your own conclusions at the end. Thanks again for the analysis of a sonic masterpiece - absorbing the lyrics will take a little more time. (but ultimately well worth it). Sit back and enjoy - every PF album is a journey somewhere.

    The first rock concert given at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal was that of Pink Floyd on July 6, 1977, one year after the 1976 Montreal Olympics games.
    During this concert, the band played two complete album (Animals) and (Wish You Were Here).
    As an encore, they played the tracks (Money) + (Us and Them), followed by a 2nd encore (Drift Away Blues).
    At the end of this last encore, while roadies get the equipment out, Nick Mason was HILARIOUS, since at the end, he basically had nothing else but his seat and one of his drums.

Sometimes on "Dogs" you hear barking, and other times you hear this note which you can barely tell is a distorted dog bark. They use the actual sound and a synthesized mpression of that sound and go back and forth. They also create the impression of a sheep's "baahhh" on "Sheep," with Waters's voice. In typical Floyd fashion, they explore an idea so fully and from so many different angles without ever being boring.

    Growing up in the 60s my conception of the 70s was that of a great dropoff, musically. When disco hit I retreated into discovering classical music, with a few excursions into Zappa, Kraftwerk, and the Greateful Dead. I only really discovered the incredible work Pink Floyd was doing during this era much later, and the fact that their output still sounds timeless is a testament to its worth. It's gratifying seeing a member of a younger generation making the exact same discoveries. Animals is one of their tidiest and most insightful works.

    This is one of my favourite PF albums, it is so meaningful and so reflective of our world. Timeless, the desire for power, the use of the dogs as enforcers. The fact that the dogs are expendable tools only occurs to them ( the dogs) when they get old and are no longer of use that the song hits home. It is spiritual on many dimensions. The dogs are ‘used’, the sheep are abused and the pigs don’t care.

    The whistling signals at around 16'20" to 16'50" are a shepherd commanding his sheepdog, which fits nicely with concepts on one of the other tracks ("Sheep") as well.

    The poetic lyrical style coupled with the way the songs flow into one another causes this masterpiece to shine in my opinion. The third or fourth listen, when you have a handle on the magnificent melodies and techniques of the music you will be able to focus on the story being told, the meaning behind the lyrics, and appreciate it even more. So. Good.

    You seemed like you were quite engrossed and loving the aural soundscape that Animals creates.
    The Lyrics paint often depressing or horrific visions in your mind while the majestic music penetrates your soul.
    It's a strange combination that blends beautifully, and is without doubt a masterpiece.
    I consider Animals to be my favourite Pink Floyd album, and i personally think it's Pink Floyd at the peak of their powers.
    Lyrically and musically Animals is a Tour De Force of the Progressive Rock Genre and a damn fine album indeed.

    Bought this as soon as it came out in the UK. A reflection of where the country was at this time. They flew the pig over Battersea power station in London but it escaped! In the end they had to shoot it down as it was a potential threat to aircraft landing at Gatwick and Heathrow airports. Pigs did appear at other times for example when I saw Floyd live at the old Wembley Stadium in London. It flew the length of the stadium that evening. Great times and memories. Fantastic that you appreciate the music I have been listening to all my life.

    I love the way you are discovering classic music. Back then we couldn't wait for the release of a bands new album. Would go to the record store then come home and do exactly what you're doing , listen to a whole side of an album then the other side. It was an expierience. Reading the lyrics & liner notes while listening. Sometimes buying 2 or 3 albums at a time and just immersing ourselves in the music.

  • @MDElam
    @MDElam 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I really like your reactions to PF a lot! One of the best reactors to the band in my humble opinion. To your early point about the drum patterns in "Dogs," many (I and others) have commented on various reactors' PF reaction videos that Nick Mason is pretty underrated as a drummer. He even thinks of himself as just average (or something to that effect); he doesn't think he's bad--just not great. However, Nick Mason's own view of himself notwithstanding, he is much better than many realize. He's about one of the most solid, consistent drummer/percussionists in rock music. I doubt he'll make a list or be featured in a show about the greatest rock drummers, but the space he allows for the music ("Comfortably Numb" is a good example), the just-right fills ("Dogs" is a great example), the balance in drum-solo-like features (the beginning of "Time" is the best example) all show that he is the most appropriate drummer for this combination: David Gilmour and his guitar, Rick Wright and his keyboard/synthesizer, and Roger Waters and his bass. Sure, drummers like Neil Peart, Max Roach, Bill Bruford, Buddy Rich, Carl Palmer, Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, etc. (forgive all the name-dropping) will be at the top of most lists, along with others--and rightly so--but Nick Mason has carved out his own place of greatness not for standing out, but for fitting-in the best. Keep up the great format, and I appreciate your work!

    • @frankshailes3205
      @frankshailes3205 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I read Nick putting himself down once for not being trained; though he said he had about 2 weeks' training at some point later on, but didn't take to it. When you listen to him talking about tuning his drums, it's clear he's an absolute expert, self-taught or otherwise!

    Sadly, Animals sort of marks when Pink Floyd ceased to be a cohesive unit and became Roger Waters' backing band. Dogs and Sheep were based on Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling which they'd been performing at gigs. Waters split his song Pigs on the Wing into two parts to bookend the album and wrote the rather awful Pigs himself which meant Gilmour, Wright and Mason came away from the project with co-writing credits only for Dogs and Sheep. During sessions for The Wall Waters' megalomania reached its zenith, culminating in him sacking Rick Wright. And this was just the start of their problems. At the time though we knew nothing of this and were just thrilled to have another Floyd album. My god, when Sheep hit that riff at the end I thought my head would explode. Then again shortly afterwards New Wave hit hard and I didn't listen to the Floyd again for at least ten years.

I highly recommend taking some time when you can to go back and not just listen to the music but listen to the words. This album tells a story. It's out there on the internet but I think it would be fun to see if you can figure out the story on your own. Us old farts had no choice! LOL

    I found your channel through Pink Floyd then saw your Babymetal and Wagakki Band reactions. Can't believe I never heard of them before. Now I'm obsessed with both of bands.
    Since you've been doing Pink Floyd hopefully you'll do some of their pre Dark Side albums, specifically Meddle and Atom Heart Mother. Many will suggest Echoes live at Pompeii, do yourself a favor, listen to the studio version first which is the entire second side of Meddle. You will then appreciate the live version much more. However, do watch the Pompeii versions of the hypnotic Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and/or the dissonant Saucerful of Secrets.
    Love watching your reactions. Normally I dislike when reactors pause the music but not you because your pauses tend to be short and you usually back the song up a little.

    Hey, Miss Verdy.
    Great react. You're an official Floyd fan now. I was a drummer but Pigs On The Wing was the first song I learned on acoustic guitar. And I learned bass playing to this album.
    This album was all written by Roger and the one where he started to exert more control over the band. The cracks began to appear on WYWH and only widened with this one. Regardless, it's a fantastic album. Darker than previously. It's theme deals with types of people in society. Roger was somewhat inspired by Orwell's Animal Farm novel.
    Enjoyed your react (and your smile).

    If this were just an instrumental, without the lyrics, it would deserve accolades for that alone. But many people don't listen to the lyrics, and in this case, it's imperative, to get the full value of it. This is actually a protest song, about unfair treatment of bands, by the record companies, a protest that continues with many of their other songs. It deserves a separate listen/reaction, concentrating on the meaning in the lyrics, and you will be blown away by how the instrumentals blend in perfectly to the lyrics' meaning, step by step. That makes this song three times more powerful than the instrumentals alone. (The sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the two separate parts).
