Completely agree. I’ve been in love with Floyd for over thirty 30 years now and I didn’t really get dogs properly at first but over the years it has slowly become my favourite piece of music ever. Gilmours finest work is on this song imo. Flawless 🎸
No-one is ever ready for the first time they hear Dogs. It's an effing masterpiece! For me, personally, Animals is the Floyd's greatest achievement and an album I've never managed to kill, despite playing it a couple of times a week for the past 45 years. It's just utterly perfect.
Curiously, critics HATED "Animals" and thrashed it when it was first released, and all four Pink Floyd members have reviled it themselves in interviews, calling it an unfortunate and mediocre moment in their career... Now it's sort of a cult album. Me, I loved it right away and still do, all those years later.
@@samuelalexander558, that totally disagrees with what I saw Gilmour stating in an interview. He said "Animals" was fun to make and he liked the result, but it was far from being their best or more creative work, and he wasn't particularly proud of it. And Nick and Rick absolutely HATED it (though in Rick's case, he had good reasons: that was when Roger started treating him bad, and he allowed far less room for Rick's work to shine than in the previous albums). Roger, of course, loves it --- it was the first of HIS albums with Pink Floyd as HIS supporting band, after all...
David Gilmore once said in an interview that he thought Animals was a perfect opera. 3.5 songs on an entire album, and it tells a complete story, I don't think he's wrong
Ok so here goes…..your reaction is top notch, loved it. You must remember that us oldies have been trying to tell the younger generations our music was the best there was for years! Do you get it now? 😂 ❤
@@brainsqueezereactions I understand you mate. First time l heard Pink Floyd back in the 80's l was completely and totally blown away, and since then it was no turning back. We all LOVE your pure and natural reaction to the true masters of music. Pink Floyd is not a music band, but a space shuttle to eternity, the music is independent of time. Have to admit that since l know, and love, this song it was 6:15 wait for it, wait for it... And at 6:20 YESSS, there you go mate 😂😂😂😂
We really need to talk him into taking an Ativan and listening to the entire album kids don’t need to just Listen to the best music ever written. They need to sit back and close their eyes and experience it.
Felt the same way until I checked some other random reaction to a crappy new school rap song and he does the same shit. It’s a shame but this guy’s a Fraud.
The Animals album is loosely based on the book “Animal Farm”. The dogs are representing the businessman. The other tracks are Sheep, representing the working class and Pigs which represent societies elite. Also, the building on the cover is the Battersea power station on the river Thames. There is an interesting story behind the pig flying over it.
@@Babyschlep. The pig was a giant balloon and got away from the handlers. Ended up in a farmer’s field quite a ways from where they were. Probably a little more to it but I just woke up and that’s all I can remember now. 😂
This song is a complete masterpiece. It's not the Pink Floyd song you start someone with. But when it's time, it's time. This has been my favorite PF song since the first time I heard it 35 years ago, and it still is. It's got it all. Both Roger and David on vocals, some of David's best guitar work, Nick going full animal style on the drums, Rick's keys giving those "drowning" sounds. Perfect in every way. I know you want to mix up your reactions and that's understandable, but I really think you should listen to both Pigs and Sheep from this same album soon while Dogs is still fresh in your mind, because they tie in together. Will be curious to hear who you think the Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep are.
I wouldn't forget the introduction and closing with Pigs On The Wing (Parts 1 & 2) … better in the version linked by the Snowy White Guitar Solo for the ribbon loop Stereo 8: ruclips.net/video/3po6131Opko/видео.html
Just so you know for the future, the lineup of the classic era of Pink Floyd consists of: David Gilmour - Guitar Roger Waters - Bass Richard Wright - Keys Nick Mason - Drums
Mark, I knew anything from Animals would drag you out back, slap you around and then straighten your glasses and dust you off before putting you back in your chair 😱. Dogs was a great choice to start. I can only imagine how much the lyrics of Sheep and Pigs will mess with your mind! I’ll be here for it!
Who was born in a house full of pain Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with collar and chain Who was given a pat on the back Who was breaking away from the pack Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone Who was dragged down by the stone Absolute Goosebumps.
Oh luv, you are definitely not the only one listening to this. RUclips reaction channels like yours are introducing more and more of younger generations to this classic and absolutely essential music.😊
It's only a true Pink Floyd fan that is excited, then disappointed when Dogs, an 18min song ends. You 'were' ready - another great reaction man. You may as well do Pigs and Sheep when you get the time. It amazes me how young they were (early 30's?) when they produced this album. And what was I doing at that age? Probably sitting around half stoned listening to Pink Floyd!! :)
Often a measure of a band is how they perform live - Try watching Floyd playing "Sorrow" at the Pulse concert, (in 1994, (I was there)) and you'll swiftly see that Floyd is not "just" a studio band.
Yes! Yes! Dogs is about the type of person that wants to climb the social ladder anyway they can, ruthlessly. And then being screwed over by younger dogs ... and the Pigs. Which should be another listen!
Mark The amount of bands, guitarists and singer's who claim their inspiration to getting into music is because of Pink Floyd and that they were brought up listening to Floyd..!! And the amount of covers and samples in other people's songs taken from Pink Floyd's songs and lyrics is phenomenal...Even Miyle Sirus has covered a Floyd track..!! 'Comfortably Numb..!!
Hiya Mark it's Dahmer's Umpalumba chocolate 🍫 dude, giving a follow up to Dogs off The Animals album..!! As you know I grew up listening to Floyd getting stoned to them right through my teenage years, early 80's onwards (ie) was a right of passage growing up in Liverpool listening to Floyd, don't think I knew 1 person who wasn't Floyd mad..!! The Wall 1st album at 11/12 when it was released, and in school cos of Another Brick in The Wall we'd have sit-ins in the school yard refusing to come in , went on for weeks/months..!! Due to the fact that in early 80's the teachers would knock fuck out o you for trivial miss-behaving, so gave us an anthem to rebel to..!! Anyways then obviously got in Floyd's other album's DSOTMoon, Wish You Were Here and the rest but 1 album that took me years and years to fully appreciate was Animals..!! And now it's my favourite Floyd album ever..!! The whole concept from Dogs to Pigs to Sheep is the GREATEST LYRICS Roger Waters has ever written (ie) Dogs the Businessman who take advantage of everyone and everything Due to pure GREED.. Then the Pigs who are the Tyrannical Tyrannts who rule the World the 1%'s (Basically The World Order) who control the wealth and keep their feet on our necks to keep us submissive and subservient...!! And then us finally the ordinarily common people who Basically do as we are told to keep the status quo...And then their is Gilmour's guitar playing and solo's + Rick Wright's amazing keyboard playing and Nick Mason keeping the bass and phenomenal drumming..!! The most absolute complete social commentary in an album of all time..!! As I think I've told you I was at thr Earls Court Pulse Tour concert + saw Roger Waters in 2018 in Birmingham on his Us and Them Tour and now I'm so lucky to tell you I'm going to see Roger Waters again on the 31st May again in Birmingham at the same Stadium The Attiva..!! Can't wait I'm so excited and I'll let you know how musically and visually Roger's concert is in a couple of months... so to all the Floyd haters "Go Fuck Yourselves as Floyd is for Love and Worship..and now I'm lucky enough to be about to see them LIVE for the 3rd time
I literally love all the "unenamored" with this music, the way they react to it. I'm a 1965 vintage and first heard them when I was about 10 years old. It hasn't let me go since. I know all their songs and I always smile when I see the reactions of people who don't know them. They are mostly young people and Pink Floyd almost always becomes their favorite band. It follows that this music can never die out. Let's remember that this is music that is 50 years old! And it's so modern and all the lyrics are so current. Thank God for giving us all Syd, Rick, Nick, Roger and David...
Pink Floyd exists for me outside of time. They don't fit into any era, their music transcends the sounds that identify any era, from the 60s to now. That's part of why it'll live forever. Plus, it's f*cking beautiful.
First time hearing this was in 1978 as a sixteen year old who knew nothing of the Floyd. Me and my mates all dropped acid, went to an older friend's apartment and started passing the bong around. Without warning somebody put this on the turntable and before we knew it, our entire perspective on (well just about everything, but especially music,) was changed forever. We just sat back and held on for dear life while the Floyd took us far, far away.
Yes lol! Glad you chose this one! My mouth hurts from grinning so much while watching this reaction! It's kinda fun in a sadistic way to know what's coming next in the song and if a "OH FUCK OFF" is coming or not lol. I know you said it's not possible to do a whole album, but if you do Pigs and Sheep, that's basically the whole album! Keep the reactions coming mate!
One of my favorite albums is “Animals”. “Dogs” is an awesome track but so are the rest in album. Can’t believe I bought this album in my teens even without hearing any of the tracks. I fell in love with it at first listen. If you have time to spare, give album “Final Cut” a listen. Lyrics are awesome. Great always to see and hear your reactions. You’re not the only one who feels this way when listening to Pink Floyd.
In my opinion, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin set a standard of musical excellence that all other rock bands of the 70’s aspired to meet or exceed. The result was an astonishing amount of amazing music from multiple bands. You could include The Beatles among the standard-bearers too. I encourage you to continue exploring Pink Floyd, then check out Led Zeppelin, and try out the other bands being recommended in the comments. So many brilliant songs by so many artists and all because these guys set that bar. Many other bands rose to that bar with completely different and original sounds. This Classic Rock rabbit hole is huge but full of treasure. Enjoy the ride.
Oh and the Animals album is loosely based on the book Animal Farm. The dogs are business men, pigs are the politicians, and the sheep are the mindless ones that just follow along.
Yes, we have arrived. I have been looking forward to this for some time. Time to enjoy. Thanks in advance for doing this reaction and all the others. Also, remember there is another band called YES.....good stuff. "Roundabout" ... "Your move/I've seen all good people"... "Close to the Edge" .... "Yours Is No Disgrace" ... Heart of the sunrise" .... "And You And I" and "Starship Trooper" ..... that is seven tracks right there so if there comes a time when you want to hear another brittish band from the same time period as Pink Floyd.....
Easily one of my favourite albums hands and feet Down!! I mentioned before David Gilmore does vocals in the first part, and Roger Waters does the out tro vocals. I just noticed it a few years ago when I listened to the whole album.
Pink Floyd’s PULSE Concert is outstanding - their finest music played to perfection - some with enhanced versions, accompanied by a light show that appears linked to the instruments. Breathtaking.
Also forget to mention, I love your swearing and comments along the way - you are being yourself, so keep it up. I also enjoy the fact that you listen all the way through without stopping.
There's absolutely no music on earth like this. Nor like any of their other stuff. Who are/were these people? How did they come up with it? I don't know but feel so blessed and lucky to have this band fill my ears and brain. Nothing else comes close
I can see you’re having real second-by-second reactions and I love it! It reminds me of myself at age 17 when I found Pink Floyd in 1979. Taking incredible journeys in my room with headphones on or just lying in bed. Absolutely mind blowing and world changing. At age 60 now, it is so gratifying to see new people experiencing the same wonder that I once experienced. Thank you so much for this! Stay open and receptive like this your whole life and you’ll be a happy man. Best of luck to you!
When listening to Pink Floyd, don't worry about trying to be cool, just let it take you wherever they want. The best way to listen to PF is with headphones, in the dark, preferably reclining. You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, but you need them to enjoy drugs. Love your reactions to the greatest band ever!
Yes, Yea and Yes. But I still reckon it's best to listen through decent speakers and amp cranked up so you can "feel" the bass, which you don't through headphones - although through headphones is great too because you hear better stereo and subtle things you miss with speakers. In any case, it doesn't matter just so long as you are relaxed (whatever way) and ready for the journey.
Ah, Dogs ...predatory... then ruthless pigs... Then Sheep that'll be most of us. Great lyrics and never has resonated more. Written 45 years ago but could have been written today.
This track is truly stellar. SHEEP is another standout from Animals, and is definitely more standalone than some other Floyd tracks, but a perfect companion to DOGS. You've done one track from The Wall (which is the most narrative-heavy of their concept albums) but some of the tracks from that are far better with context. Some later Floyd tracks that are standalone and top quality are HIGH HOPES, SORROW, and ON THE TURNING AWAY.
This song is a masterpiece! Your reaction to it is great Hector!!! Pink Floyd has a unique song from every album. There are no 2 alike. Enjoy the Pink Floyd journey it’s a long peaceful one that lights your soul on fire 🔥! Animals is based on Animal Farm from George Orwell. Dogs are the police, soldiers, and business men protecting the Pigs - the elite ruling class while the sheep the rest of us are servants to the other animals. Check out Pigs then Sheep! After that you should check out High Hopes and Sorrow from Pulse tour. They are all epic masterpieces. 😊
I was 21 when I discovered this CD and have played it many many times are that time. Sometimes three to four times on repeat. Now I'm almost fifty and still live this album.
This is not music, it was never meant to be music. It’s an all out attack on the senses. ( as described by critic of the movie “ The Wall”). By the way, don’t view the movie unless you are fully prepared to be Consumed in mind and logic. I enjoy your reactions, keep ‘‘em coming.
Yay ! Welcome to the prog rock family 😁. I've got a permanent smile whilst watching your reactions to Floyd. You take us prog rockers right back to how we felt when we first heard em. This track is the Dogs bollox and I was lucky enough on my 1st hearing of having the band standing in front of me ! Bingley Hall, Stafford in 77' at the tender age of 16 . You've got some catching up to do..Ya lucky Fukka.. I'm envious of all the great 1st time emotions you're about to go through. .
This brings such joy to me, seeing the younger generation listening to what i consider the best music of my era, I am 60 and I was at the Animals Concert in 1977 at the Milwaukee County Stadium. There were 66,000 people cramed in. They floated the pig you see on the album cover over everyone but when it got in the parking lot it exploded and damaged cars but we all thought it was part of the show. Everytime I hear this I think of the magical day in my life.
Animals has long been my favorite Floyd album. All true Floyd fans know exactly what you meant when trying to explain the emotional roller coaster they put you on. I hope this is the start of your journey with Floyd. I strongly encourage you to listen to their entire catalogue to get a full appreciation of their genius. Every album is different. It is great to get introduced to the "big four", DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, and The Wall, but don't forget 6 albums before them. They were making amazing music before they got "popular".
"Pink Floyd wrote dogs!" is an often read or heard comment when it comes to epic music... Myself I heard it from 2 different Professors🤓, one music, one from politics, both said that dogs is one of the most relevant songs of the last century for them. Roger Waters is playing it on his tournees till today and updates it in his shows with current themes, last time with Trump and Co 😎 It is even more relevant today then one of these days in the year of album release
Absolutely love your Pink Floyd reactions. I'm so jealous that you get experience them for the first time. I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but the experience is amplified when consuming the full album at once. Especially Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall.
I just love to see someone get as excited about hearing this as I did when I heard it for the first time when it first came out. Heard it a million times by now but I still love it. I saw them twice. Wish I could again but those daze are long gone now
No one should ever hold any thing back when listening to Pink Floyd but in most cases they pull you in and there’s no holding back all you can do is go with the flow and vibe in your own way until they bring you back just enjoy the journey it’s music for mind and soul The Cerebral poets of rock n roll
@@brainsqueezereactions not telling you what to do but giving you some support here..start with the Led Zeppelin live at MSG version or the album version. The Heart Kennedy Center performance is great but if you've never heard Zep it's better to start with Zeps version first
when i got home and saw you were reacting to Dogs I was as excited as you. it is one of my favorite albums. I'm 52 and have been listening to pink floyd for 35 years and they are absolutely number one for me. so excited to see pink floyd still touching people today like they did for me all those years ago. your reactions are the best and put the biggest smile on my face. can't wait for more
@@brainsqueezereactions happy new year mark to you and your family 👪. I'm looking forward to your next Pink Floyd reactions. Have a healthy and happy 2023. I love your reactions to 5his music. Speak to you soon.....
I remember when I was 12 years old, I went to Austria with the bus. A 12 hour trip. I got this tape from my dad, said I had to listen to it. So I did….reluctantly, he of little faith ultimately listened for the entire trip to this album over and over and over again, I just couldn’t stop and 35 years later, still can’t. It just does not get old, still get goosebumps every time. 😊
"And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone Dragged down by the stone (stone, stone, stone, stone, stone)"
I have been listening to Pink Floyd since the amateur music cassettes of their live performances of 1966, that is since before they began to record records, and OBVIOUSLY then I listened to every single track in order on the LPs and, even more obviously, CHRONOLOGICALLY. On the radios, here in Italy as in most of the world, very little has passed because the P. F. "before" were almost unknown, and not too appreciated by the "official" disk jockeys of the time, and "after" the symbolic pieces of each LP began to overcome "too much" the canonical 3 minutes of the 45 laps ... now "the norm" for the attention of the average listener.
@@kevinsteadman7215 Not usually, true, but there were honourable exceptions! When Wish You Were Here was released Alan Freeman played the entire album, uninterrupted, on the Saturday Rock Show. Those were the days…
Here is an amazing song from an amazing band, Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused"! This song blew me away when I first heard it, it's just a monster tune where at one part their lead guitarist is playing his guitar with a violin bow!
Dude, you are fun as hell to watch with. It’s like turning on a friend to something new, and there’s nothing more gratifying for a music lover than seeing someone else love a song as much as you do. Big thanks from Seattle area!
Please keep the Floyd coming bro! Love ALL your reactions, but please react to the live Floyd songs. You seem to love the David Gilmour solos and the live versions are so much better and longer than the studio versions. Luv you bro! RUN LIKE HELL!
Two of my favourites are from there 1971 concert at Pompeii: Careful with that axe Eugene & One of these days. Take a look if they fit in your schedule, I would be thrilled if you could do them. Oh, if you like to some Floyd Blues, listen to “Shamus” on that same concert, (I hope I have the title right).
Looking forward to your reaction to Pigs and Sheep. As someone who has listened to Pink Floyd for over 40 years there’s nothing better than seeing people discover this bands music for the first time. Love your reactions and good music should make you feel al kinds of different emotions. Cheers from Australia.
I LOVE that you are diving in face first ! the transfer of thoughts and feelings into words and music has always fascinated me - and no one did it better than Roger Waters and Pink Floyd
PF did an awesome, smooth mix of progressive and psychedelic rock. Being gripping and different at evey turn was the hallmark of so many bands of this period (1970's). FYI material as good as this (tho a bit heavier) is still being written, eg from Porcupine Tree or Devin Townsend. Lots more from the 70's. Few match the pinnacle PF achieved - but many got so, so close they have to be heard... Nice reaction! :) Whole album play of "Animals"? Still got Pigs and Sheep to do.
That is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a reaction. I absolutely loved watching you listening to dogs for the first time. Dogs is my favorite Pink Floyd song. If there is such a thing. Of course I’ve got about 25 favorite Pink Floyd songs as well. Keep up the good work. That was very refreshing and I was laughing out loud with you. And even screamed a few times. I don’t do much of that stuff at my age anymore. Thank you.
Yeah, Wish You Were Here is the name of the album and also the name of one of the songs you should check out along with Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar. Not a bad song on the entire album. Enjoying it! Keep it up!
"Dragged Down By the Stone" the Stone is Life itself! I love your enthusiasm for Pink Floyd, they're an incredible band! Why not do the rest of the "Animals" album, it's only two or three songs more? Also "Sorrow" live from 1994 Pulse Concert!
Never heard Dogs called fun, but hey, there's a first time for everything. 😉 "AHHH, FUCK OFF!" says Brian during every Floyd tune. But this time you've nailed the theme of the album, which is basically, everyone fuck off.
Great reaction Mark, I love how you feel everything and appreciate that Pink Floyd didn't waste a single note in their songs, it all had a purpose, the music tells ths story as much as the lyrics. Keep doing what you're doing man, loving the vibe.
That was exactly how I thought you would react to that man. Fucking brilliant. I could see that you were right there, in the music, feeling it. Thank you man.
Hello Sir. May I suggest please, Pink Floyd live at Gdansk. Listen to and watch the live video for Echos. The way the guitar and keyboard talk to each other at the end will bring tears to your eyes. I believe this is the last live performance before Richard Wright passed away and David Gilmore has said he will never play that song again. They're pretty damn good for old fogies! Love seeing the music take over your entire being. That's the Floyd experience. Welcome aboard for the ride of your life.
Even the making of this album cover is a thing of legend. The floating pig, Algae, got loose on the second day and floated over to Heathrow. They had snipers to shoot Algae down if he got loose, but they weren’t there that day. Pilots flying into Heathrow were reporting that they were seeing a floating pig and they had to shut down the airport for a while while the Pink Floyd crew retrieved Algae.
I love your reactions! Everyone reacts and feels differently to music and music is absolutely 100% personal in how we hear it and feel it. Don't let 1 out of 1000 people get to you with a dig. The other 999 are with you and love it! We have all been there discovering Pink Floyd track by track like you. It's awesome. My suggestions (there are too many, really) are "Us and Them", "High Hopes", "Learning to Fly", and if you really want powerful emotion, try "When the Tigers Broke Free" (referring to Tiger tanks in WWII which killed Roger Waters' father in battle in 1944).

Heading off to band practice, but had to listen to this for the 10th time to get me juiced. I love this.
"Animals" isnt the most well known Floyd album, but it IS the best Floyd album
The Animals album is loosely based on the book “Animal Farm”. The dogs are representing the businessman. The other tracks are Sheep, representing the working class and Pigs which represent societies elite.
Also, the building on the cover is the Battersea power station on the river Thames. There is an interesting story behind the pig flying over it.
And and another person says try and listen to pigs n sheep and figure who they are representing. Nice one for the spoilers rofls shit
What’s the story behind the cover?
@@Babyschlep. The pig was a giant balloon and got away from the handlers. Ended up in a farmer’s field quite a ways from where they were. Probably a little more to it but I just woke up and that’s all I can remember now. 😂
This song is a complete masterpiece. It's not the Pink Floyd song you start someone with. But when it's time, it's time. This has been my favorite PF song since the first time I heard it 35 years ago, and it still is. It's got it all. Both Roger and David on vocals, some of David's best guitar work, Nick going full animal style on the drums, Rick's keys giving those "drowning" sounds. Perfect in every way.

Just so you know for the future, the lineup of the classic era of Pink Floyd consists of:
David Gilmour - Guitar
Roger Waters - Bass
Richard Wright - Keys
Nick Mason - Drums
... and the lingering ghost of Syd Barrett ...
And David, Roger and Rick on vocals. David the most notable one.
We should not forget Dick Parry on saxophone. As needed of course.

Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

That actually makes me feel happy!
It's only a true Pink Floyd fan that is excited, then disappointed when Dogs, an 18min song ends. You 'were' ready - another great reaction man. You may as well do Pigs and Sheep when you get the time. It amazes me how young they were (early 30's?) when they produced this album. And what was I doing at that age? Probably sitting around half stoned listening to Pink Floyd!! :)
Often a measure of a band is how they perform live - Try watching Floyd playing "Sorrow" at the Pulse concert, (in 1994, (I was there)) and you'll swiftly see that Floyd is not "just" a studio band.
It changes all the time, because Pink Floyd are the masters of detail, layers and transitions. So fucking smooth.
It's good to see Mr Hector finally get off the fence and start to enjoy Pink Floyd 🤣🤣🤣🤣... love it Bro 👍
Best reaction I've seen man,I'm living through the Floyd again through you
Yes! Yes! Dogs is about the type of person that wants to climb the social ladder anyway they can, ruthlessly. And then being screwed over by younger dogs ... and the Pigs. Which should be another listen!
Mark The amount of bands, guitarists and singer's who claim their inspiration to getting into music is because of Pink Floyd and that they were brought up listening to Floyd..!! And the amount of covers and samples in other people's songs taken from Pink Floyd's songs and lyrics is phenomenal...Even Miyle Sirus has covered a Floyd track..!! 'Comfortably Numb..!!
Hiya Mark it's Dahmer's Umpalumba chocolate 🍫 dude, giving a follow up to Dogs off The Animals album..!! As you know I grew up listening to Floyd getting stoned to them right through my teenage years, early 80's onwards (ie) was a right of passage growing up in Liverpool listening to Floyd, don't think I knew 1 person who wasn't Floyd mad..!! The Wall 1st album at 11/12 when it was released, and in school cos of Another Brick in The Wall we'd have sit-ins in the school yard refusing to come in , went on for weeks/months..!! Due to the fact that in early 80's the teachers would knock fuck out o you for trivial miss-behaving, so gave us an anthem to rebel to..!! Anyways then obviously got in Floyd's other album's DSOTMoon, Wish You Were Here and the rest but 1 album that took me years and years to fully appreciate was Animals..!! And now it's my favourite Floyd album ever..!! The whole concept from Dogs to Pigs to Sheep is the GREATEST LYRICS Roger Waters has ever written (ie) Dogs the Businessman who take advantage of everyone and everything Due to pure GREED.. Then the Pigs who are the Tyrannical Tyrannts who rule the World the 1%'s (Basically The World Order) who control the wealth and keep their feet on our necks to keep us submissive and subservient...!! And then us finally the ordinarily common people who Basically do as we are told to keep the status quo...And then their is Gilmour's guitar playing and solo's + Rick Wright's amazing keyboard playing and Nick Mason keeping the bass and phenomenal drumming..!! The most absolute complete social commentary in an album of all time..!! As I think I've told you I was at thr Earls Court Pulse Tour concert + saw Roger Waters in 2018 in Birmingham on his Us and Them Tour and now I'm so lucky to tell you I'm going to see Roger Waters again on the 31st May again in Birmingham at the same Stadium The Attiva..!! Can't wait I'm so excited and I'll let you know how musically and visually Roger's concert is in a couple of months... so to all the Floyd haters "Go Fuck Yourselves as Floyd is for Love and Worship..and now I'm lucky enough to be about to see them LIVE for the 3rd time
I literally love all the "unenamored" with this music, the way they react to it. I'm a 1965 vintage and first heard them when I was about 10 years old. It hasn't let me go since. I know all their songs and I always smile when I see the reactions of people who don't know them. They are mostly young people and Pink Floyd almost always becomes their favorite band. It follows that this music can never die out. Let's remember that this is music that is 50 years old! And it's so modern and all the lyrics are so current. Thank God for giving us all Syd, Rick, Nick, Roger and David...
Pink Floyd exists for me outside of time. They don't fit into any era, their music transcends the sounds that identify any era, from the 60s to now. That's part of why it'll live forever. Plus, it's f*cking beautiful.
Hear,Hear
First time hearing this was in 1978 as a sixteen year old who knew nothing of the Floyd. Me and my mates all dropped acid, went to an older friend's apartment and started passing the bong around. Without warning somebody put this on the turntable and before we knew it, our entire perspective on (well just about everything, but especially music,) was changed forever. We just sat back and held on for dear life while the Floyd took us far, far away.
Yes lol! Glad you chose this one! My mouth hurts from grinning so much while watching this reaction! It's kinda fun in a sadistic way to know what's coming next in the song and if a "OH FUCK OFF" is coming or not lol. I know you said it's not possible to do a whole album, but if you do Pigs and Sheep, that's basically the whole album! Keep the reactions coming mate!
Pink floyd is undoubtedly the greatest thing that ever happened for the mankind. We are truly blessed 💙
That's David Gilmour, The Lord Of The Strings.
One of my favorite albums is “Animals”. “Dogs” is an awesome track but so are the rest in album. Can’t believe I bought this album in my teens even without hearing any of the tracks. I fell in love with it at first listen.
If you have time to spare, give album “Final Cut” a listen. Lyrics are awesome.
Great always to see and hear your reactions. You’re not the only one who feels this way when listening to Pink Floyd.
In my opinion, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin set a standard of musical excellence that all other rock bands of the 70’s aspired to meet or exceed. The result was an astonishing amount of amazing music from multiple bands. You could include The Beatles among the standard-bearers too.
I encourage you to continue exploring Pink Floyd, then check out Led Zeppelin, and try out the other bands being recommended in the comments. So many brilliant songs by so many artists and all because these guys set that bar. Many other bands rose to that bar with completely different and original sounds. This Classic Rock rabbit hole is huge but full of treasure. Enjoy the ride.
Couldn't agree more.
And Sabbath
Who is Led Zeppelin..? 😉
Then there is Steely Dan
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Oh and the Animals album is loosely based on the book Animal Farm. The dogs are business men, pigs are the politicians, and the sheep are the mindless ones that just follow along.
ohh Dude, exactly what I feel again and again I listen to this. It's my favorite album of all time.
Your reaction are as awesome as Pink Floyds music is. Well done mate!
Pink Floyd, "Welcome to the machine", with head phones. And all brought to you by the 1970's
Yes, we have arrived. I have been looking forward to this for some time. Time to enjoy. Thanks in advance for doing this reaction and all the others. Also, remember there is another band called YES.....good stuff. "Roundabout" ... "Your move/I've seen all good people"... "Close to the Edge" .... "Yours Is No Disgrace" ... Heart of the sunrise" .... "And You And I" and "Starship Trooper" ..... that is seven tracks right there so if there comes a time when you want to hear another brittish band from the same time period as Pink Floyd.....
This. I'd say start with Heart of the Sunrise.
Yes! Yes! Roundabout is a great intro.
Awaken. Endless Dream. Perpetual Change. ...
Easily one of my favourite albums hands and feet Down!! I mentioned before David Gilmore does vocals in the first part, and Roger Waters does the out tro vocals. I just noticed it a few years ago when I listened to the whole album.
Pink Floyd’s PULSE Concert is outstanding - their finest music played to perfection - some with enhanced versions, accompanied by a light show that appears linked to the instruments. Breathtaking.
I'm so excited every time I see a Pink Floyd video from you!
This is the greatest song ever recorded… from my favorite album of all time
I’m here….another fav! Let’s go! 👏👏👏
I love the way the guitars harmonize in this song and throughout the animals album
They are masters of transitions
Also forget to mention, I love your swearing and comments along the way - you are being yourself, so keep it up. I also enjoy the fact that you listen all the way through without stopping.
You have been going down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole. You are welcome!😎
There's absolutely no music on earth like this. Nor like any of their other stuff. Who are/were these people? How did they come up with it? I don't know but feel so blessed and lucky to have this band fill my ears and brain. Nothing else comes close
I can see you’re having real second-by-second reactions and I love it! It reminds me of myself at age 17 when I found Pink Floyd in 1979. Taking incredible journeys in my room with headphones on or just lying in bed. Absolutely mind blowing and world changing. At age 60 now, it is so gratifying to see new people experiencing the same wonder that I once experienced. Thank you so much for this! Stay open and receptive like this your whole life and you’ll be a happy man. Best of luck to you!
When the Gilmour solo hits felt like a tomb opening after 7000 years
When listening to Pink Floyd, don't worry about trying to be cool, just let it take you wherever they want. The best way to listen to PF is with headphones, in the dark, preferably reclining. You don't need drugs to enjoy Pink Floyd, but you need them to enjoy drugs. Love your reactions to the greatest band ever!
Hey Michael, Don't tell him what to do. He hates that.
Yes, Yea and Yes. But I still reckon it's best to listen through decent speakers and amp cranked up so you can "feel" the bass, which you don't through headphones - although through headphones is great too because you hear better stereo and subtle things you miss with speakers. In any case, it doesn't matter just so long as you are relaxed (whatever way) and ready for the journey.
Ah, Dogs ...predatory... then ruthless pigs...
Then Sheep that'll be most of us. Great lyrics and never has resonated more. Written 45 years ago but could have been written today.
Right On thx for checking out my favorite Pink Floyd tune!
This track is truly stellar. SHEEP is another standout from Animals, and is definitely more standalone than some other Floyd tracks, but a perfect companion to DOGS. You've done one track from The Wall (which is the most narrative-heavy of their concept albums) but some of the tracks from that are far better with context. Some later Floyd tracks that are standalone and top quality are HIGH HOPES, SORROW, and ON THE TURNING AWAY.
my personal #1 PF song
I was there when this was released and was 18. What a trip. I have listened to it hundreds of times. Your reaction is priceless!
This song is a masterpiece! Your reaction to it is great Hector!!! Pink Floyd has a unique song from every album. There are no 2 alike. Enjoy the Pink Floyd journey it’s a long peaceful one that lights your soul on fire 🔥! Animals is based on Animal Farm from George Orwell. Dogs are the police, soldiers, and business men protecting the Pigs - the elite ruling class while the sheep the rest of us are servants to the other animals. Check out Pigs then Sheep! After that you should check out High Hopes and Sorrow from Pulse tour. They are all epic masterpieces. 😊
I was 21 when I discovered this CD and have played it many many times are that time. Sometimes three to four times on repeat. Now I'm almost fifty and still live this album.
This is not music, it was never meant to be music. It’s an all out attack on the senses. ( as described by critic of the movie “ The Wall”). By the way, don’t view the movie unless you are fully prepared to be Consumed in mind and logic. I enjoy your reactions, keep ‘‘em coming.
Your new full time job is bringing us the joy of your reactions to all things Floyd.
Yay ! Welcome to the prog rock family 😁. I've got a permanent smile whilst watching your reactions to Floyd. You take us prog rockers right back to how we felt when we first heard em. This track is the Dogs bollox and I was lucky enough on my 1st hearing of having the band standing in front of me ! Bingley Hall, Stafford in 77' at the tender age of 16 . You've got some catching up to do..Ya lucky Fukka.. I'm envious of all the great 1st time emotions you're about to go through. .
Yup, yup.. good man. Now Sheep! Then 'One Of These Days' off of the album 'Meddle' Keep it going!!
This brings such joy to me, seeing the younger generation listening to what i consider the best music of my era, I am 60 and I was at the Animals Concert in 1977 at the Milwaukee County Stadium. There were 66,000 people cramed in. They floated the pig you see on the album cover over everyone but when it got in the parking lot it exploded and damaged cars but we all thought it was part of the show. Everytime I hear this I think of the magical day in my life.
The day just keeps getting better! I absolutely love how the guitars come in. They absolutely tell a story and it’s so emotional! 🔥
Animals has long been my favorite Floyd album. All true Floyd fans know exactly what you meant when trying to explain the emotional roller coaster they put you on. I hope this is the start of your journey with Floyd. I strongly encourage you to listen to their entire catalogue to get a full appreciation of their genius. Every album is different. It is great to get introduced to the "big four", DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, and The Wall, but don't forget 6 albums before them. They were making amazing music before they got "popular".
"Pink Floyd wrote dogs!" is an often read or heard comment when it comes to epic music... Myself I heard it from 2 different Professors🤓, one music, one from politics, both said that dogs is one of the most relevant songs of the last century for them.
Roger Waters is playing it on his tournees till today and updates it in his shows with current themes, last time with Trump and Co 😎
It is even more relevant today then one of these days in the year of album release
Great seeing Animals getting the attention it deserves
Absolutely love your Pink Floyd reactions. I'm so jealous that you get experience them for the first time. I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but the experience is amplified when consuming the full album at once. Especially Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall.
i get the same feelings even after 45 years of listening to this song. it takes you on an incredible journey.
I just love to see someone get as excited about hearing this as I did when I heard it for the first time when it first came out. Heard it a million times by now but I still love it. I saw them twice. Wish I could again but those daze are long gone now
No one should ever hold any thing back when listening to Pink Floyd but in most cases they pull you in and there’s no holding back all you can do is go with the flow and vibe in your own way until they bring you back just enjoy the journey it’s music for mind and soul
The Cerebral poets of rock n roll
Yea!! My favorite guy!! Playing and reacting to a mind blowing group! We need to get into some Led Zeppelin in the future!!
Sunday.....stairway to heaven 😊😊😊😊😊
@@brainsqueezereactions not telling you what to do but giving you some support here..start with the Led Zeppelin live at MSG version or the album version. The Heart Kennedy Center performance is great but if you've never heard Zep it's better to start with Zeps version first
Any thing off Led Zeppelin's first Album, the greatest Blues Rock album ever made.
when i got home and saw you were reacting to Dogs I was as excited as you. it is one of my favorite albums. I'm 52 and have been listening to pink floyd for 35 years and they are absolutely number one for me. so excited to see pink floyd still touching people today like they did for me all those years ago. your reactions are the best and put the biggest smile on my face. can't wait for more
Im hooked to PF.... literally addicted and now opened up more doors! Led Z, Stevie Ray and sooo many more
@@brainsqueezereactions happy new year mark to you and your family 👪. I'm looking forward to your next Pink Floyd reactions. Have a healthy and happy 2023. I love your reactions to 5his music. Speak to you soon.....
I remember when I was 12 years old, I went to Austria with the bus. A 12 hour trip. I got this tape from my dad, said I had to listen to it. So I did….reluctantly, he of little faith ultimately listened for the entire trip to this album over and over and over again, I just couldn’t stop and 35 years later, still can’t. It just does not get old, still get goosebumps every time. 😊
"And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone
Dragged down by the stone (stone, stone, stone, stone, stone)"
Do it your way. Do you think we all sat around and listened to these songs in order? No… we waited to hear the stuff on the radio like everyone else.
Well, SOME OF US got stoned and played the WHOLE album! (Bought em NEW) 🤷♀️😏🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣🤗
@@Spunky62 I was just about to say this. Tripping on acid too 🤣
Pink floyd was never played on the radio mate not in England anyway
I have been listening to Pink Floyd since the amateur music cassettes of their live performances of 1966, that is since before they began to record records, and OBVIOUSLY then I listened to every single track in order on the LPs and, even more obviously, CHRONOLOGICALLY. On the radios, here in Italy as in most of the world, very little has passed because the P. F. "before" were almost unknown, and not too appreciated by the "official" disk jockeys of the time, and "after" the symbolic pieces of each LP began to overcome "too much" the canonical 3 minutes of the 45 laps ... now "the norm" for the attention of the average listener.
@@kevinsteadman7215 Not usually, true, but there were honourable exceptions! When Wish You Were Here was released Alan Freeman played the entire album, uninterrupted, on the Saturday Rock Show.
Those were the days…
Here is an amazing song from an amazing band, Led Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused"! This song blew me away when I first heard it, it's just a monster tune where at one part their lead guitarist is playing his guitar with a violin bow!
Sweet so glad you got here. Now for a quickie head back over to The Wall and listen to Mother Short and definitely sweet
Every thing pink Floyd is a story and can be linked
Dude, you are fun as hell to watch with. It’s like turning on a friend to something new, and there’s nothing more gratifying for a music lover than seeing someone else love a song as much as you do. Big thanks from Seattle area!
Musical geniuses. Rock had quite a few. and their music is as relevant and amazing FIFTY years later.....that is when you know it is genius.
Please keep the Floyd coming bro! Love ALL your reactions, but please react to the live Floyd songs. You seem to love the David Gilmour solos and the live versions are so much better and longer than the studio versions. Luv you bro! RUN LIKE HELL!
I first heard Pink Floyd's Animals in 1977 - it's probably the album I've listened to most of all. Still love it hugely
Two of my favourites are from there 1971 concert at Pompeii: Careful with that axe Eugene & One of these days. Take a look if they fit in your schedule, I would be thrilled if you could do them. Oh, if you like to some Floyd Blues, listen to “Shamus” on that same concert, (I hope I have the title right).
Glad you enjoyed it. Tip of the iceberg, enjoy the journey.
Been so long since I have had headphones, I am jealous. I remember listening to this with headphones decades ago and it was quite the experience.
Looking forward to your reaction to Pigs and Sheep. As someone who has listened to Pink Floyd for over 40 years there’s nothing better than seeing people discover this bands music for the first time. Love your reactions and good music should make you feel al kinds of different emotions. Cheers from Australia.
I LOVE that you are diving in face first ! the transfer of thoughts and feelings into words and music has always fascinated me - and no one did it better than Roger Waters and Pink Floyd
The only problem with listening to Dogs is now I have to (HAVE TO!) go listen to the rest of Animals.
PF did an awesome, smooth mix of progressive and psychedelic rock. Being gripping and different at evey turn was the hallmark of so many bands of this period (1970's).
FYI material as good as this (tho a bit heavier) is still being written, eg from Porcupine Tree or Devin Townsend. Lots more from the 70's. Few match the pinnacle PF achieved - but many got so, so close they have to be heard...
Nice reaction! :) Whole album play of "Animals"? Still got Pigs and Sheep to do.
You said it mate Pure Genius this track one of my absoulute faves I knew the guitar drop would get you 🤣🤣🤣
That is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a reaction. I absolutely loved watching you listening to dogs for the first time. Dogs is my favorite Pink Floyd song. If there is such a thing. Of course I’ve got about 25 favorite Pink Floyd songs as well. Keep up the good work. That was very refreshing and I was laughing out loud with you. And even screamed a few times. I don’t do much of that stuff at my age anymore. Thank you.
YES YES YES! 💜💜💜 That's why we love these reactions! You're genuine! 🤗🤗🤗
Yeah, Wish You Were Here is the name of the album and also the name of one of the songs you should check out along with Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar. Not a bad song on the entire album. Enjoying it! Keep it up!
"Dragged Down By the Stone" the Stone is Life itself!
I love your enthusiasm for Pink Floyd, they're an incredible band! Why not do the rest of the "Animals" album, it's only two or three songs more?
Also "Sorrow" live from 1994 Pulse Concert!
Never heard Dogs called fun, but hey, there's a first time for everything. 😉
"AHHH, FUCK OFF!" says Brian during every Floyd tune. But this time you've nailed the theme of the album, which is basically, everyone fuck off.
Great reaction Mark, I love how you feel everything and appreciate that Pink Floyd didn't waste a single note in their songs, it all had a purpose, the music tells ths story as much as the lyrics. Keep doing what you're doing man, loving the vibe.
My cheecks hurt from smiling and the tears rolling from my face laughing and loving it just to see your joy. ahhhh
That was exactly how I thought you would react to that man. Fucking brilliant. I could see that you were right there, in the music, feeling it. Thank you man.
Sooo glad you like LEGENDARY music!😁👏👏👏💐💐💐🥰💯😎
Hello Sir. May I suggest please, Pink Floyd live at Gdansk. Listen to and watch the live video for Echos. The way the guitar and keyboard talk to each other at the end will bring tears to your eyes. I believe this is the last live performance before Richard Wright passed away and David Gilmore has said he will never play that song again. They're pretty damn good for old fogies! Love seeing the music take over your entire being. That's the Floyd experience. Welcome aboard for the ride of your life.
"Do you like daags?"
This album was based on George Orwell’s Animal Farm
Even the making of this album cover is a thing of legend. The floating pig, Algae, got loose on the second day and floated over to Heathrow. They had snipers to shoot Algae down if he got loose, but they weren’t there that day.
Pilots flying into Heathrow were reporting that they were seeing a floating pig and they had to shut down the airport for a while while the Pink Floyd crew retrieved Algae.
I love your reactions! Everyone reacts and feels differently to music and music is absolutely 100% personal in how we hear it and feel it. Don't let 1 out of 1000 people get to you with a dig. The other 999 are with you and love it! We have all been there discovering Pink Floyd track by track like you. It's awesome. My suggestions (there are too many, really) are "Us and Them", "High Hopes", "Learning to Fly", and if you really want powerful emotion, try "When the Tigers Broke Free" (referring to Tiger tanks in WWII which killed Roger Waters' father in battle in 1944).
