Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. Inspired in part by George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, Roger Waters condemns the avarice and inequalities of capitalism, metaphorically and musically grouping humans as pigs, dogs, and sheep. The pigs are self-righteous hypocrites inflicting their beliefs on everyone else, the dogs greedy money-grabbers, and the sheep witless followers. Dark, cynical, and brilliantly composed, Animals is an ingenious and under-acknowledged album. --Naomi Gesinger

Summary: Attention Pink Floyd fans
Comment: Most of their albums are being terrorized by some complete and absolute moron writing one star review after one star review (simply to get attention). It seems they're under the mistaken impression that this is "clever". Click on the button labeled "report this" for every one of them, then write a short letter to Amazon about them. I've done this before, they WILL disappear.

Summary: a good buy
Comment: Classic Floyd experience. Most of the album makes chronoligical, evolutionary, etc sense- its a mixture of wish you were here and the wall for floyd fans. Roger does all the singing, but the lyrics are top notch as usual. Gilmour shredds on the guitar on dogs and pigs. Wright doesn't get a lot of airtime but he does have a jazzy keyboard solo on sheep.

Albumwise it's actually my favorite of Floyd's, but thats not because it has my ultimate favorite songs (Numb, Time), its because the flow of the music and the power of the words are better than all the other albums.

Things I might recommend to improve the album-
read Animal Farm (it's what the book is based off of)
and listen to it loud

The only bad things I've experienced is that the album flows so well that it feels very short. While there are 17 minute songs it still flies by too fast.

That's it. Go buy it
