4 stars Big man, pig man. Haha charade you are!

Pink Floyd's Animals is quite funny album. At first listen it is boring, at second listen you feel like all the songs are the same, and then it starts to open.

The intro and outro songs "Pigs on the wing's" are quite beautifully crafted acoustic songs. Waters' vocals are emotional and also catchy. I love both parts.

"Dogs" is a tough one, I never really liked it, at some times Waters' vocals are quite annoying and boring, and sometimes good. Gilmour's guitar solos keeps the 17mins together.

"Pigs (three different ones)" have always been my favourite. Vocals are great, the melody is fantastic and the guitar solo in the end is one of the greatest and most emotional I've ever heard, fantastic song. Also a big 'hey!' to Wright's keyboardwork.

"Sheep" is also a good song, not as good as the previous, but still very thoughfully crafted and nice variying melodies makes this one good.

I also want to credit Nick Mason for his drumming. He plays like Ringo but still it sounds amazing.

A solid addition to any prog music collection!
