This one is about politicians in the UK in the 70's. "Whitehouse " refers to Mary Whitehouse who was a moral crusader who was really into censorship of anything relating to sex etc.....
@@TheCornishCockney absolutely,in my mind Animals is Floyds masterpiece, totally floorless and timeless, Roger Waters lyrics are as relevant today as they were back then,an album for all generations 🐷🎸
The hole Album is a Masterpiece in every Detail. But the Guitarwork on this Album is the best work ever made. I know this Recording for 42 Years now, and every time I hear it, It‘s blowing my mind!
" I don't know, it's just impressive". That's why we have been suggesting it to you! Trust the tool and floyd fans. We have a handle on all the great music!
Seeing Pink Floyd performing Animals live was a stunning experience. The giant floating pigs - are you kidding me! ‘Sheep’ next will pull Animals together. ‘Echos’ from Meddle another recommendation.
I've always wondered if this song has the record as the longest fade-out in Rock & Roll History! Haha. Another great reaction, I'm enjoying your facial expressions, it's very clear what you're thinking and feeling, as you're listening. This album has always stood out to me as somewhat of a Musical Masterpiece, that really doesn't need lyrics. The music in this album, all the way through from beginning to end, is phenomenal, and the musicianship if off the charts. All the parts are incredibly good, the guitar parts, bass, keys, drums, just masterful,... as I intimated earlier. The album Animals was made under a cloud of dissention, Rogers Waters was having serious differences with the other band members, especially David Gilmour. In the past all the members would be involved in the construction of the song, with Waters doing the bulk of the lyrics, and Gilmour writing most of the music. With Animals Roger Waters supposedly came to the band with the song virtually done. He definitely wrote the lyrics, but It's not completely clear if he wrote all the music too, all the parts I mean. I doubt he did that. In my mind listening to this album, the guitar parts are David Gilmours, Waters may have wrote the basic chords of the songs, but the guitar is Gilmour. Also, credit and a shout-out to Nick Mason on drums, and Rick Wright on keys.
Waters wrote pigs (all 3), and I'm pretty sure the rest of the band input some ideas in "Pigs (3 different ones)". Dogs and Sheep were written when they were doing the "Wish You Were Here" album (Lyrics by Roger and music by Gilmour, Wright and Mason). Dogs previous name was "You've Gotta Be Crazy" and Sheep previous name was "Raving and Drooling". For some reason, people see this album as Waters' creation, but this was the very last colaboration these great musicians will ever do. A true shame for the world.
"Power and emotion" is their middle name. And it gives the words so much more depth. Speaking of the above you realize now you have to do the "Wish You Were Here" album which has a power all its own. The lead singer in this one, Pigs, is lyricist Roger Waters. A bit different tone than the chill melancholy voice of guitarist David Gilmour who sings lead or co-lead on much of their stuff.
Been enjoying your videos US. I would rate the three epic songs thusly: Dogs>Sheep>Pigs. They're all great but Dogs is just incredible. Some of Gilmour's best guitar solos, and one of the very few songs you can hear him solo in diatonic modes rather than his usual pentatonic scale with a few arpeggios thrown in. Sheep is great too...it has one supremely creepy section, you'll know it when you hear it. It gave me the willies when I was a young lad hearing this stuff from my big brother. I'd love to see you explore the Meddle album too. It's the most overlooked album by casual listeners because it came at the very end of their sort of underground cult following days, but to me it's the album where they finally successfully brought all of their disparate styles and sound explorations together in a focused way that naturally led to their classic era.
I always have an idea for a video of this in my head (personally feel they should have made a film of this album as it has so much more context as opposed to the wall). So, hear me out, in the middle solo bit with the pig noises; I just picture the house of commons with the majority of the members of Parliament turning into pigs with the wall style animation and eating the genuinely well- meaning members of Parliament. Dark, bleak but totally the theme they were going for! Would have been an amazing video if it was how I had it in my head (but we could all say that with ideas eh!)
Nice to hear an intelligent reaction to PF. As with all the best songs they only get better with each listen. I've been listening to PF for over 50 years and their music is still ahead of its time. If you like good lyrics check out the solo album by Roger Waters, called "Amused to Death". A stunning, incredibly emotional album.
Pigs are a commentary on the corrupt pollitician's and greedy leaders' in this track,I feel lyrics arn't as important on the first listen as its generally a song's groove that can grab you first. That Gilmour outro has to be the best I've heard!!!Loving your discovery!
Boy if you like the “groove” that PF manages to get into their songs….Then You are GOING to LOVE the groove in the 2nd part of “ECHOES” from their album MEDDLE. Reputedly the BEST hard rocking groove of the 70’s with amazing guitar work by David. Make sure you check out the AUDIO version before watching the ‘Live from Pompeii’ version. !
All the amazing bass work on this one was performed by David Gilmour (as well as the guitars and talk box) - he also does the bass work on the following track - "Sheep".
I was on acid a few years back and it started getting a bit sideways so I called my uncle and asked for advice. He just said “Yeah me too man. Pink Floyd Animals.” Click. Saved the day
Roger Waters plays part of the guitar on this song, and leaves the bass to David Gilmour. Roger Waters - rhythm guitar, sound effects, vocoder, vocals, backing vocals David Gilmour - fretless bass, lead guitar, Talkbox Rick Wright - keyboard, acoustic piano, Hammond organ, ARP synthesizers Nick Mason - drums, cowbell
I hope in your personal time, you get to sit down and listen to this album start to finish. It's great as a full album (as are many of Floyd's albums).
Aesop Rock does a song called Pigs that's in his top 10 in my book. i just watched ur reaction vid of the gates & it's why i subscribed : ) There 's vid on youtube of aesop doing Pigs live that is sooooo gooood,. There's also an acapella version of it & hearing him acapella adds such clarity BUT DANG THE LIVE VID IS GREAT QUALITY & TO WATCH HIM WRAP HIS TONGUE AROUND IT IS OTHERWORLDLY.
let me help you - google mary whitehouse and see Hey you, Whitehouse Ha ha, charade you are You! House proud town mouse Ha ha, charade you are You're trying to keep our feelings off the street You're nearly a real treat All tight lips and cold feet And do you feel abused? You! Gotta stem the evil tide And keep it all on the inside Mary, you're nearly a treat Mary, you're nearly a treat But you're really a cry
One song to check out by Floyd is Several Spiecies of small fury animals gathered in a cave and grooving with a pict. Ummagumma album plus a must is Set the Controls for the heart of the sun
Might I suggest Atom Heart Mother... most Floyd fans find it a little much... but I think your brain may be somewhat better suited for an experimental album like AHM. Of course there is no Floyd album that's not worth the time. Wish You Were Here, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, More, Saucerful of Secrets, and on and on...
Really appreciate you young people discovering and experiencing what we took for granted. Leaves hope that music that takes real talent will perhaps make a comeback instead of heading down the dark Ally the music industry has gone.🙄 You really have to admire the technical abilities of Nick Mason you can create so many different sounds at one time. You would swear he was an octopus using all eight arms, 9 brains, and 3 Hearts! Should listen to grantchester Meadows off the Uma Guma album. Actually listen to the whole thing. You also should listen to atom heart mother. There is a video of them playing with the full Orchestra. When I was young it didn't matter how I heard Floyd but the first time was always with headphones. Now my house is finally set up the way I always wanted to sound system 15 Channel surround sound with Atmos you can kick back anywhere in the entertainment room or Library and there is literally a different sound coming from all directions. It's like experiencing them for the first time all over again. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
Top 3 PF tune for me behind Echoes and Shine On. Please react to Echoes!! You could do a Meddle Album reaction or Live at Pompeii. Either, or...it would be fantastic!!
Yes echoes will blow your mind , live in pompeii are incredible b but you should start with album first in my opinion, becasue is full song and quality audio and arangment are crazy
Pigs (Three Different Ones) is the climax of the album, a violent charge against the top of the pyramid, the institutions, the powerful represented by loathsome boars. The caricature of the Soviet leaders in The Animal Farm turns into an allegory of capitalism which devours the world by gorging itself on its profits (1st pig), political power (2nd pig) and the power of controlling thought (3rd pig) .
thankyou I now know why this is not a favourite for me...... any time Roger sings ruins it for me. The music (bass included) is awesome....... Dave Gilmour saves this song at the end.
only Trump was one of the best things that happened to America over this clown who can’t even form a sentence. This song is truly about him and his handlers currently controlling the government.
@@Dustyholes so true. This song perfectly describes the globalists overlords and their greedy, corrupt politicians whom they own. Waters is too cynical and full of TDS to see the irony.
We don’t want to hear your opinion, but you still gave it… Edit - you should state “I” don’t want to know your drug story- some of us might, you don’t speak for “us”.
@@urbanshamanproductions9092 DOH, YOUNGSTERS LISTEN TO YOUR CHANNEL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET THE WORLD KNOW U SMOKE WEED, not setting a good example. Is that clear enough for you...
Can’t wait for you to listen to Meddle. Echoes will melt your brain. The live at Pompeii performance is incredible.
1971 performance! (Edited for wrong # hit on phone.)
i prefer the bassline in the studio version but the rest of the live version is phenomenal. Echoes is a timeless masterpiece.
This one is about politicians in the UK in the 70's. "Whitehouse " refers to Mary Whitehouse who was a moral crusader who was really into censorship of anything relating to sex etc.....
Animals is by far the most underrated PF album!
Not by me,my kids,and now my grandkids!
Animals is a flawless,relevant,timeless work of art.
Thank God i'm a boomer and grew up with all this magic.
@@TheCornishCockney absolutely,in my mind Animals is Floyds masterpiece, totally floorless and timeless, Roger Waters lyrics are as relevant today as they were back then,an album for all generations 🐷🎸
I think it’s fairly rated, the fans know it well and it really doesn’t need the status of DSOTM to be appreciated for the masterpiece it is
Naaahh. Ummagumma? The Piper? But it sure is underrated, of course.
@@TheCornishCockney Same here Red, Tons to say, but I would only be repeating what´s already in your head.
The hole Album is a Masterpiece in every Detail. But the Guitarwork on this Album is the best work ever made. I know this Recording for 42 Years now, and every time I hear it, It‘s blowing my mind!
I give up. I just can't even describe how good they are, anymore. We will never see anyone like them again.
This is the kind of album you like the more you listen to it.
Ps: so glad that after Tool you're doing some Pink Floyd too man!
I still suggest listening to the whole album and just appreciate how clean it is.
Especially how the songs flow into each other seamlessly.
Ah yes, the “ha-haaaaaaaa” song.
Btw, might wanna re-read the title, it’s (Three Different Ones)
Cant wait for Sheep! Another great tune. I still put Dogs on top of my list though.
All 3 are GREAT!...Sheep...Dogs...Pigs...(my order).
Dogs is a psychedelic rocket ride!
Dogs is their best, pigs and sheep are both in second for their own sound
Get your hands on an indica that mercilessly slams you into the couch and listen to the whole album. I’m not a Dr., but this is my prescription.
That's what I do while watching Floyd reactions 😉🤘
That would do it
David Gilmour’s guitar and bass work on this track is just next level in complexity (tone and temperament) and intensity
" I don't know, it's just impressive". That's why we have been suggesting it to you! Trust the tool and floyd fans. We have a handle on all the great music!

And the Pompeii version loses some of the funk
@@twigwoodman3567 Tru dat!
Sheep is another total classic.. cant wait for your reaction
Really been looking forward to your reaction for this one. I had to fire up a bowl first, lol.
Let’s go!
The greatest fade-out in Rock. This tune is the bollocks x
enjoy the rabbit hole! 🐇😄 great job keep it up! 💯👍

The first time I heard this album I was trippin on acid and it was the PERFECT accompaniment.
One of my go to picks for an album while trippin
HANDS DOWN David’s best guitar work with Floyd!!! *in my opinion*
Roger Waters plays part of the guitar on this song, and leaves the bass to David Gilmour.
Roger Waters - rhythm guitar, sound effects, vocoder, vocals, backing vocals
David Gilmour - fretless bass, lead guitar, Talkbox
Rick Wright - keyboard, acoustic piano, Hammond organ, ARP synthesizers
Nick Mason - drums, cowbell
This is my favorite song on the album.
damn that’s definitely an unpopular opinion
Love the energy from the version 'Live at zocalo, Mexico City'
So different and influential before their time. This is prog rock before anyone knew what prog rock was. Incredible masters of the culture. ❤️❤️
I hope in your personal time, you get to sit down and listen to this album start to finish. It's great as a full album (as are many of Floyd's albums).

The unjustness of the pecking order in one album.
STILL highly relevant today.
Pink Floyd >>>>>>>>>>the rest.
let me help you - google mary whitehouse and see
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha ha, charade you are
You!
House proud town mouse
Ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You!
Gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary, you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
Defo social commentary, the state of people in general 😭😍
Groovy as hell!
Love the quality of your vids!
This song is all about the groove, the next one is all about the lyrics.
My favourite track on this album is Sheep...I love the lyrics. Dogs a close second.

U name any other band that can put pig noises into a song and make it sound so good
DSOTM brought you here, after you have heard Sheep, where next, be prepared to have your brain well and truly nourished.
now SHEEP !!! be prepared for a treat !!! and for a wonderful and unexpected extro.
makes the hairs on my neck stank up... Ha Ha, Charade you are!
the bass fills in this one are the quintessence of tasty
Cartman on South Park: “Ha ha charade you are!”
The last main song from Animals is Sheep, and trust me dude when I tell you....it’s gonna blow your mind!
The biggest debate about this album is probably: "Pigs vs Dogs, which is better?"
They're both such fantastic songs.
I still can't figure out how they came up with this stuff
The best Pink Floyd Album of all time
Top 3 PF tune for me behind Echoes and Shine On. Please react to Echoes!! You could do a Meddle Album reaction or Live at Pompeii. Either, or...it would be fantastic!!

Looking forward to your reaction to Sheep next.
so looking forward to next week...... sorry but for me pigs are just what come between dogs and sheep...... but I love all Animals equally...
Pink Floyd great band if you love there music you must check out porcupine tree you look like you would become a Steven Wilson fan must check out
We need to get this guy listening to Rush!
The Necromancer
Traffic, low spark of high heeled boys
lovin that cowbell ;)
When someone asks you what you're favourite track is just say "the one with the animals in it", it's the only correct answer, they're all amazing!
My fave off animals
& in case you had forgots....Fink Ployd is the stoned band to best amazing listen to.
Nowhere near as good as Dogs but then nothing is. Can't wait for Sheep 👍
Funky bass courtesy of Dave G.
