ANIMALS

After 3 masterpieces such as Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, the always progressive Pink Floyd (with Roger Waters as indescutible leader of the band) decided to change style again. 'Animals' is totally different to his predecessor WYWH, there's no symphonic beauty , only just small influences of psychedelic sound. Probably this is the most Progressive record by the Floyd. 'Pigs on the Wing': Wonderful Folk acoustic melody that open and close the album, reminding us that this is a new concept album by Floyd. 'Dogs': My favorite song by Pink Floyd. All of which means this band is in this song: the smart and depressive lyrics of Mr. Waters, Gilmour's amazing solos, jazzy touch of keyboards of Wright and the always proper Mason on drums. 'Pigs': Rock song that starts with a psychedelic melody on the keyboard by Richard Wright. Waters's voice has never sounded better, the heavy guitar solo of Gilmour at the end of the sond is totally awesome ...the bass (played by Mr. Gilmour) is awesome. The anti-establishment point reminds us that this is a work of orwellian influences. 'Sheep': Wright shines in the introduction, a sweet tune of jazzy-psychedelic touches is followed by the roar of the guitar from Gilmour and Waters' aggressive voice .... probably the most Pink Floyd Hard Rocker. Definetly a MASTERPIECE.
