5 stars Animals is a wonderful record. Perhaps the Floyd's most angry, and despite Roger Waters' misgivings about it's concept (material greed) it seems to stand up to the highest scrutiny.

Dogs may well be the Floyd's finest single track, and despite the absence of credit, Richard Wright is fantastic throughout colouring the sound with great taste and skill.

After it's illustrious predecessors, Animals has a tendency to be underrated, like Meddle does. The fact that one side of each record houses the Floyd's greatest long-form achievements, in Echoes and Dogs.

I like the gloominess of Animals, it has a forboding that the Wall never quite achieves, due to the dramatic shift in style.

The last gasp of classic Floyd, but what a gasp. Buy Buy Buy.
