ANIMALS

Hands down the best album I have heard. Pink Floyd are at their musical peak. Never have I encountered an album where the tone of the music and lyrics complement each other so brillantly. The 3 main songs pigs, dogs and sheep are epic rides with multi-layered sounds and tone shifts which are both catchy and emotionaly stirring. Dave Gilmours guitar thoroughly dominates this album with some fantastic solos and acoustic work. Waters is at his cutting best, he makes no apologies for sharing his highly critical views of the 3 general categories which all humans fit into. This all may seem a bit depressing and to much for the casual listener but he is very accurate with his assessment of human behaviour (try categorising the next person you meet). I still get goosebumps when I listen to this album after 5 years of constant thrashing. A must have
