Since i haven't written a blog all week I decided to talk about one of my favorite albums of all time. This is a very underrated album along with The Final cut and Meddle. These three albums are out shined by there 3 best selling albums Dark side of the moon, the wall and wish you were here.
Animals is a concept album that focuses on the world of capitalism in America. According to pink floyd there are three types of people. Pigs are people with the power and abuse that power, they are generally at the top of the business ladder. Dogs who are business men who do anything to get ahead of the pack, including betraying there own friends. Sheep who follow anyone who are in control, they are the blue collar workers.
There are only 5 songs, but some of them have the length of 3 or 4 normal songs. "pigs on the wing part 1 and 2" are the intro and outro songs. Both of the songs are acoustic and short compared to the middle 3 songs. "Dogs" is my favorite song in the album and it is the easiest to listen to. David Gilmour has a amazing guitar solo half way through the song. "Pigs (three Different ones)" is the second best song on the album. "sheep" is my least favorite song on the album because for me it takes too long to get into.
Also a little tidbit: without Animals roger waters would have never thought up the concept of The Wall.
