ANIMALS

This is my favourite album by my favourite band. It's a masterpiece from the first to the last second. The opening and closing Pigs on the wing are two short beautiful acoustic pieces. But the true genius of this record hides in three huge compositions. Dogs is, in my opinion, the best song ever written. The lyrics, the lenght and especialy the mood of this song are absolutely brilliant. It's strong, dark and very emotive. Pigs is the weakest here, although it would easily be a real gem on any other album. Finally Sheep is really energetic, fast, great crafted masterpiece. It's a shame that it only lasts for 10 minutes. One other thing that's worth mention is the production. I can't imagine what people thought when hearing this album in the late seventies. Production and the quality of sound is stil better than on the most of new records. It's absolutely amazing. This is THE album. The best of all times. Essential.
