      Always, literally always thought that Animals was the pinnacle of the Floyd oeuvre. I know that DSOTM is a perfect record, but perfection carries the seeds of its own destruction, Animals isn't perfect, but it is interesting, and acknowledges both new wave and punk whilst not straying too far from the thoughtful, angry, frustrated world view that Mr. Waters was imposing on the band. The perfect example of power and intensity without being loud or violent. They still sound vicious, but it is vicious to a purpose, to show the "Punk Elite" just how a person sounds when they are totally, TOTALLY fucked off with the status quo...Not with status quo...

      Dogs are the ruthless business men, something that Waters has said that is what he feels he is himself. Verse 1 is what it takes to be the ruthless business men, a dog. 2 tells of what it's like to be a dog. 3rd shows what happens eventually to the dogs after living their empty lives. 4th verse Waters sings from inside the mind and how the dogs feel about being a dog.

I remember when I discovered Floyd as a young teen just as I began to discover weed as well and I was hooked. I thought for years these guys were the stoner band of all stoned bands, because how else could they be this creative and create albums like this. Turns out you can be insanely creative without anything lol.

    @scott3744 5 месяцев назад +41

    There was a whole culture in the 1970s and early 1980s about 'building' your home stereo, piece by piece as funds allowed, reading equipment reviews, going to the local stereo store to listen to different components, always trying to upgrade the weakest link in your stereo system, rearranging your whole room to find the best position for the speakers, etc. And then the 'stereo chair'. It could be a bean bag chair, or a recliner, or whatever was comfortable, set right in the 'sweet spot' between the speakers, where the stereo image was *perfect* .
    And then turn all the lights out, so all you can see is from the blue or orange or yellow or red glow of the lights and meters on your stereo equipment.
    Then carefully drop the needle on your record player, turn the volume up, sit back, close your eyes, and take a trip to the land inside of your mind 👍😁

      The first time I listened to this album in entirety was on an old school setup like that. I was 16 and had just discovered weed. Was hanging with a few buddies and we were absolutely ripped, I just wanted to lay down so we put this album on and turned on the black light and just went to another planet. I’ve been sober for decades now, but that moment is what got me hooked on that band, and I still enjoy it, even without an “enhanced” state of mind.

    • @mrodg88

      We had crappy cassettes until CD came, but did the same in the late 80's high school. 15 years old in 87 and my buddy across the street with a license and a car says, "you've gotta come down with me. I have something for you to try and something you need to listen too.". So I burned my first joint, or the sticks and bowls and bongs that circled the dining room table all night long. Then I heard Comfortably Numb for the first time. Bought The Wall the next day, but what is this with the prism? And Wish You Were Here. Bought them all.
      I come home from work at the grocery store one Saturday and from the basement I can hear my stereo cranking. I'm going to kill him! How dare my little brother step foot in my room let alone touch my sacred system. I storm up the stairs, through the kitchen, up the stairs to the 2nd floor, my bedroom is the first one. Burst into my bedroom and.... Dad turns to me, "What the hell is this!" Shine On .. is blasting. I sit down and as it ends, I ask if he's listened to this and hold it out. "Not yet, cool prism cover"
      I hadn't yet discovered Animals. My love for Floyd goes even deeper than the music because we lost him 4 years later and this was my fondest memory, experiencing Dad experience PF for the first time shortly after I did.

Kind of sucks. it was the year of Rocky three eye of the Tiger was a radio I recorded that and long way home by Supertramp and Kris Kross run like the wind and Bob Seeger fire lake and brick in the wall by Pink Floyd It’s only forgot about eight tracks.

    from Wikipedia: Fitting into the album's Orwellian concept of comparing human behaviour to various animals, "Dogs" concentrates on the aggressive, ruthlessly competitive world of business, describing a high-powered businessman. The first two verses detail his predatory nature-outwardly charming and respectable with his "club tie and a firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile", while behind this façade he lies waiting "to pick out the easy meat...to strike when the moment is right", and to stab those who trust him in the back. Subsequent verses portray the emptiness of his existence catching up to him as he grows older, retiring to the south rich but unloved: "just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer", and drowning under the weight of a metaphorical stone.
    The final verse explores a number of aspects of business life and how it compares to dogs, for example taking chances and being "trained not to spit in the fan", losing their individuality ("broken by trained personnel"), obeying their superiors ("fitted with collar and chain"), being rewarded for good behaviour ("given a pat on the back"), working harder than the other workers ("breaking away from the pack") and getting to know everyone but spending less time with family ("only a stranger at home").

    Their music was so ahead of their time. Another music masterpiece that takes you to another place. So fortunate to see Pink Floyd and Roger Waters multiple times in my life.

    The GOATs always include social commentary as a hallmark of their music. Pink Floyd is easily one of my favorite bands, up there with Rage Against the Machine.

    When Pink Floyd was taking pictures of the giant inflatable pig floating near the smoke stacks, a strong wind blew the pig and they lost control of it. It floated for several miles until it landed in a farmers field.

    " Floyd's one of the greatest bands ever."
    Well surmised, my brother.
    And you both are so correct on your comments on Pink Floyd's "take your time" manner of writing songs. As a teen of the 70's, I learned to slow my "fast paced brain" down partly by listening to -- and learning to listen BETTER to -- PF's albums. As well as the albums of Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull , etc. Another great reaction, guys.
    Keep on r'actin .
    Oh -- don't fret it, Hollywood ... all true Pink Floyd fans , myself included, not only get where you are coming from, but we have BEEN where you're at ... rabid [ no pun intended ] Pink Floyd fans.

    I’ve listened this song thousands of times in my life and it never dawned on me until just now that the final lyrics are about the subject failing to take responsibility for the miserable, selfish, depraved life he led. He claimed none of it was his fault because he was raised to be who he became. Not only that he was a good boy and did exactly what society told him to do. What a grave image to be “found dead on the phone”. To die alone having betrayed every single person he ever knew to the degree not one of them would answer his call.
    Thank you rappers react for letting me see this song through your eyes.

    Went to a party once, just after this was released and which split inadvertently into two rooms. There was the loud music, loud people in one and then there were about 10 of us in the other listening to this and other pink Floyd albms all night. We just sat there tripping away to the music all night and we had by far the better night of the two rooms

    Hollywood, you said Floyd's music is like watching a movie. There's a specific track called "echoes", idk if you guys have listened to yet or not, but that's one that I can see a story in my head when I listen to it. Would be really interested to discuss with you what you "saw" while listening to that track.

    David Gilmour was the first rock artist to use the talk box, and he also is the master of taking 1-4 notes, and just touching your spine with each one. He has direct touch to his guitar neck and our expanse into nirvana.

    The album cover is Battersea power station, now a shopping complex.
    Wikipedia:
    Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames in Nine Elms, Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
    The iconic red telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, one of the architects.

    @DavidAston-bn9bz 5 месяцев назад +2

    Great to hear fellow Floydians experience one of their classics for the first time for 17 minutes! The good news is you will enjoy it even more the second time! If you haven't heard it yet you must check out the wistful "High Hopes" which is the last song from their last proper album. A fitting way to bow out.

  • @bluecalix
    @bluecalix 5 месяцев назад +2

    I think as I get older Animals more and more becomes my favorite Floyd record and the one I play more than any other. This is the Floyd at the height of their powers. Killer Gilmour track with some of the TASTIEST guitar work you've ever heard, Waters dropping some INTENSE lyrical truth bombs, Mason with POWERFUL drumming and Wright holding it all together with synthy GOODNESS.
    It's mostly David with the lead vocals, but the last bit is Waters.
    I read this song as like you say someone buying into the corporate world and learning the ways to get ahead (and F over anyone around you) and then as they get older realizing that all of that hate and aggression they put out into the world will eat them from the inside out and they will die alone.
    You gotta be crazy ....

    Those last vocal lines "Who was born in a house full of pain" are just mindblowing, heartbreaking, sublime and devastating.
    The lyrics in this song are among the best Roger ever wrote, and the guitar work is just soul crushingly beautiful.
    After you've heard this song 100 times and you memorize every single detail, every single string bend, every single word, it will never, ever leave you, and thats what makes Pink Floyd a timeless band.
    Great reaction dudes. Keep on going.

    If you react to Pigs (Three Different Ones) listen to the 2018 remix which brings the bass (played by Gilmour as well) and the drums to the front. Gilmour also plays through a Heil Talk Box and the outro solo is one of his best. A true master.
