ANIMALS

Here's a case where, I think, the music was recorded first, and then taken out on the road and really learned by the band. The album itself has a rather uncertain and unfinished quality, as if they really didn't know what the songs were about. By the time they got to the United States, and particularly toward the end of that tour, the indentities of Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep had become quite clear, and the outward animosity which Waters would express toward audiences which were often disruptive and rowdy became really intense. The record is rather tame in comparison.
