ANIMALS

I have never found this album depressing as many others do. Without doubt my fave Floyd. Always a fan of legthy songs, esp. with such lyrics. If you don't consider yourself in any of the 'categories' of animals then it is not depressing music. I get more from this album everytime i listen to it, my particular favourites being of course 'sheep' and 'dogs', the former having one of the most uplifting outro's ever. Find yourself some quiet countryside with real animals, lie down with mp3 player or equivalent on relax and either enjoy lyrics or let them go over your head and drift in the music. I constantly marverl at the astounding simplicity/compexity of the lyrics - favourite line being 'who was broken by trained personnel' and 'you house-proud townhouse'. Use of keyboards I think very Floyd but also neccesary. Guitar in sheep absolutely mind blowing, been playing for 19 years and can't come close to some of those sounds!! I cant go past Battersea Power Station on train from waterloo without the 'sheep' intro coming into my head! message from album i think is be neither sheep, dog, or pig. Be a nice person.
