Is there any song on Animals that tops Comfortably Numb? Not in my book. The Wall.

Well, against "Animals" in a prog forum... indeed it had a very slim chance.

Animals is a fantastic album, albeit the most badly produced - not heard the most recent master, just going by my '90s era Jap CD.
The Final Cut I used to dislike. Not now though. It's not exactly an engaging or immediate listen but tehre are some fine tunes on there. Though the period nature of the content may date it the easist. Which is probably why it opens in a 1940s theme rather than a rock idea. Really it's a pre rock, post war prequel to...
The Wall. What an album. Overrated? How is that decided? When it's too popular? If I listen to the radio (I don't) I may hear too much. As a lyrical narrative it works from the start to the end. The musical highlights are many and varied. It has Comfortably Numb. It translates to tributes and school productions. A huge concept on many levels but always comes back to The Individual (like Yes' art work on Going For The One) or 2112 by Rush. Great in concert, great movie. Never mind the politics, the results are just fantastic, that is really what I think...

Indeed "The Wall" is a great album. And I think this is definitely prog album. "Animals: has some punk intentions, not clearly prog.

Oh well, I see more prog on Animals than Punk, that's for sure. No Punk Song would have reached the 10 min mark, much less the 17 min one. Perhaps because of the agressiveness of the music, but still, prog can be agressive too. I also find more of a prog aproach on Animals than on The Wall. I still love The Wall, though, brilliant album and brilliant concept and all... Animals is, along with Wish you Were Here, my favourite album from the band (though usually, if I have to choose, I'll go with WYWH just a step above Animals).

About the Final Cut, I might not place it very high among my favourite Floyd albums, but indeed it's got some killer songs that I love... and then as a whole it works very fine indeed too, it flows very nicely and works together very well. I still think that they should have included The Heroes Return with parts 1&2 together, though... that way it's among my favourite songs from the album... but the way it's presented in the album, with only part 1, it's too short and sounds incomplete and just leaves me frustrated. Really, if this song was included as such, the whole album would have benefitted (and even more on the last re-release with When The Tigers Broke Free included in the album too).
