ANIMALS

I'm giving this 4 stars & not 5 for the following reasons. This is an album where the lyrics are shoved down your throat. Dogs - blokes who work themselves into an early grave & are abused by everyone (especially their loved ones). Pigs - the very rich who do nothing & have great lives on the backs of other peoples sweat. Sheep - the very poor who don't think for themselves & don't care whatever happens. It's pretty grim stuff & I'd go as far to say it's plain miserable. I wonder where they think they fit in this rotten world. There's a difference between being dark & being miserable.Van Der Graaf Generator are dark but it's more poetic & more uplifting. If you're suffering from clinical depression do not buy ANIMALS.
