ANIMALS

After the overwhelming success of their two previous releases, Pink Floyd lets the light shine over us. This is a clear reflection of Roger Water's lyrical and musical progress through his career in the music industry. The democracy was over and the monarchy of the new Pink Floyd leader started with very good results, only helped by Gilmour in the majestic "Dogs". Song by song, the band's talent and their unique style is engraved with golden letters. This album also contains 3 of the best Pink Floyd songs ever, the music has, in my opinion, the more mature sound and continues the great musicianship achieved on "Wish You Were Here" and "Dark Side Of The Moon". The analogy made between human beings and animals is an unbeatable concept that only Roger could imagine.

"Pigs On The wing Pt. 1 & 2". These tracks are simply perfect to start and finish this wonderful job. They also prepare and conclude the landslide of sounds that's coming.

"Dogs" is my favorite Pink Floyd song of all times, lyrical and musically perfect. It shows again that the Waters-Gilmour couple is one of the biggest in contemporary music history. The ambient passages and excellent performed guitar solos add the right tone to the job by Rick Wright on keyboards.

"Pigs" is the ambition of the human being captured in 11 minutes plenty of glory; in which so many different landscapes are explored each second. Since the dark beginning with the keyboards through the bass and guitar solo, the nuance added by the cowbell and the pork sounds that harmonize in an incredible way. Everything fits perfectly to create this wonderful track.

"Sheep" follows the same line as the previous songs with a very slow start that is increased bar by bar. The chorus is one of the most humming moments in the whole album spiced with the guitar fills that really shows of this piece.

At the end of this work, Pink Floyd doesn't disappoint us, the strong concepts covered during this release and the orchestration is kept by the particular seal of this British band, and it's no less than another masterpiece by the creators of the Dark Side of the Moon.
