Pink floyd have made some fantastic albums over the years. Animals rates somewhere in
the middle in terms of quality.The album is darker then previous albums or thereafter and doesnt have that lovely floyd sound that was associated with other albums such as Meddle or Wish You Were Here. The problem being that Rick Wrights contribution in terms of songwriting and actual sound composition is missing, this leaves a big gap in a floyd album along with lack of David Gilmour's beautiful vocals (Roger stick to bass guitar!!!) However one of the key tracks that provided me with interest was Dogs. Mainly because it has Gilmour as lead vocals and guitar which is obviously the way floyd should always operate. The song is passionate and emotional and describes the struggle of survival in the real world with typically excellent Gilmour vocal. Pigs is disappointing in the way it is a typical Roger Walters rant which sets the tone for things to come with future floyd albums such as the Wall. (Again, please stick to bass Roger because you cant bloody sing!!) Sheep is an ok track but nothing special. In conclusion not a bad effort but not an album I would really recommend new floyd fans to buy. Try Meddle or Wish You Were Here first!!
