There's just something about a Pink Floyd song that differentiates itself from all others. Ethan may have hit upon it at the 7:10 mark when he said, "It's so calming, already." Pink Floyd music has that affect on so many. I don't know how many times I put on the headphones, slipped a Floyd record on the turntable and left my worries aside when I was a teen. Great reaction guys. You play off one another so well.
Surprised no one commented about David Gilmour using a talk box on this song. My favorite album by them…hope you do more PF after this one 👍🏼🕳🐇 PS - smart kid!
Guys...that is Journey to the Centre of the Earth, original 1974 version. It's the story of the novel done as a terrific rock album, full orchestra & choir, the works. Trust me, you'll love it. I got a tape version of it for my tenth birthday back in '74...it snapped due to me playing it so much!. It's a true classic.
Hey there Larry and Ethan! Love love love me some Pink Floyd. This is my absolute favorite album ever. I bought this album back on 1977 and I listen to this whenever I'm feeling a bit down. You need to hear Sheep from this album to complete the trifecta! Love your reactions. Ethan I love your comparison to Animal Farm. Enjoy, stay safe and always have fun!!! Cya
Instant thumbs up before viewing. Their catalogue is so expansive and there is a 99% chance of you picking their best track .... we wait and see!!! LOL 19:01 Ethan "I didn't like the pig noises...". Great 'Deliverance' there (when you geddit!!). Us older folks know our films ;)
Just wondering if the little guy was as weirded out by the dog sounds in the song "Dogs" as he was about the pig noises here? And why not? Spoiler alert.. there will be sheep sounds in "Sheep".
Hey guys, thanks for checking out this Masterpiece you can't go wrong with Pink Floyd. I appreciate you guys so much. Please listen to the beautiful song Year Of The Cat by Al Stewart. It's a song you get lost in like Pink Floyd. 💕🎶
Love this song! Great reaction, guys. Sorry you didn't like the pig noises :)... Of course you heard the sheep during the fade out of this song, and you probably heard the barking noises during Dogs. A couple of fun facts... I believe this is the only PF song to include a cowbell. Also, that is David playing the fretless bass (in addition to the guitar), not Roger.
Wow...you're tackling Animals. Loosely based on George Orwell's Animal farm novel. The flying pig on the album cover above Battersea Power Station is actually an inflatable - no Photoshop in those days. It broke loose of it's moorings but they got it back. When The Simpsons Movie opened in London, for publicity, they flew 'Spiderpig' above the station. New Dolby 5.1 mix of the album coming out....soon.
You are going to enjoy that CD. It's a good listen!!! You should also look into getting and listening to Rick's "Myth's and Legends of King Arthur"...Huge stuff!!!
Its "People" Pigs are the politicians etc. Whitehouse is a lady British politician. Her first name "Mary" is also mentioned. Sheep are, well Sheep. and Dogs are the Financial "High Society"
Ha! What I meant by "listen from the beginning" is that it's a lot like Pink Floyd; it's meant to be listened to as a continuous experience, not "shuffle-played" randomly, since it actually tells a story. :-) I'll be curious to hear what you think of it after you hear it! (Come to think of it, you might be able to do a reaction video to it; the whole thing is only about 35-40 minutes long.)
@@fatherandsonreactions Full disclosure, by the way -- it's not *quite* like "Yes". :-) Rick Wakeman as a solo artist kind of has his own thing going on; his style is more a blend of classical orchestra with rock elements added (or vice-versa, depending on how you look at it), and in some ways it's kind of hard to describe it in terms of being "like" anything else you might already be familiar with. All I know is it made quite an impression on me when it came out, back when I was around your age, so hopefully it'll do the same for you. :-)
The Album is called "Animals". You must listen to the album in the correct order (sounds so officious) , its a concept and makes great sense. (Listen or read the words). Not quite animal farm, or is it even worse? (because it might be true)?? My fav PF album though. I agree with (some) others "Sheep" is the best track.
Here's the historical background behind Pink Floyd's (Animals) album: In 1976, the United Kingdom was swimming in troubled waters. Mired in an unprecedented economic crisis, Anglo-Saxon pride is battered by a rescue of the F.M.I. Musically too the country is lagging behind, having succumbed to the disco wave and it is ABBA a Swedish group that outrageously dominates the podium of the charts. But that is nothing compared to the tornado that is about to sweep over the British establishment. The punk movement, this new protest movement from the United States, will permanently shock a part of British society by rebelling against the archaic values that rule it. Titles like: (Anarchy in the U.K) sum up all punk thought, they all cultivate, besides this hatred of the system, that of their elders (rock bands) whom they consider finished and good to throw away. With Pink Floyd at the head of the gondola, which sabotaged the true values of rock and its three chords by making it too intellectual and sophisticated. To the point of finding Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols) walking down Carnaby Street flanked by an "I hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt. Wounded in his increasingly voluminous pride, Roger Waters decides to deliver his point of view (philosophical anyway) on the new world order. The Animals album will be a social review inspired by a work published in 1945, The Animal Farm by George Orwell (also author of 1984).
Pig noises introduce the chapter like dogs and sheep. The Whitehouse refers to Mary Whitehouse, a horrible politician at the time. The pigs greed is nothing 20th century but something that has occurred since the beginning of civilization. On your own listen from beginning to end nonstop and it flows much better.
There are only 3 more songs on the album, and Pigs On The Wing parts 1 and 2 are just short bits that bookend the album. So the next one to do is Sheep. Personally, Sheep is my favorite song on the album.
The first song of the very underrated but epic concept album Animals. This album is loosely linked to the novel Animal farm. You already did Dogs and I hope you’ll do the rest of the album too. PF is and will always be my most favorite band. Nightwish and Ayreon follow. Rick Wakeman is a great keyboard player; best known from Yes. His solo work contains some great albums. Yes is in my top ten too. Look for Yes symphonic live, or the Yessongs album. Live at Montreux is epic. I lost my appetite for reading too when I changed from primary school to the next. It will come back though it may take years.
The book "Animal Farm", by the way, is an allegory of the events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917, and then into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. The "pigs" in the story, particularly Napoleon, are meant to represent Stalin and the commissars underneath him who took control of the Soviet Union and betrayed the "all animals are equal" idealism of "Old Major" (who represents a mix of Lenin and Karl Marx) by setting themselves up as the "inner party" beneficiaries of the system and declaring "some animals are more equal than others." The pigs becoming more human-like in their behaviors and appearances represents how they eventually became the same kind of exploitative repressors as the humans they previously overthrew.
Kind of along the lines of meet the new boss ,same as the old boss. There are many things that follow this path. Worker Unions come to mind. They set out to protect workers from predatory employers and have evolved into the Union Bosses taking advantage of the workers instead. UAW has had several examples of this in the last few years and it has happened before as well.
Animal Farm was also about the evils/dictatorships of communism -- how those revolutions go bad. And, the book addresses how revolutions/dictatorships use the corruption of language and history to assume and then maintain control (if I'm remembering correctly).
“Hey you, Whitehouse, ha-ha - charade you are!... you’re trying to keep our feelings off the streets.” Constance Mary Whitehouse CBE was a British teacher and conservative activist. She campaigned against social liberalism and the mainstream British media, both of which she accused of encouraging a more permissive society
Remember Animal Farm and the Berkshire Boar Napoleon. Got his own way. Dad liked cowbell!! I guess all of these pigs refer to social figures each seeking a different thrist for prominence. All else aside this is an extraordinary piece of music!🎶👍
Aww, poor baby. I fell down the stairs when I was a kid, landed in a heap at the bottom and couldn't move. By the time I was seen in Casualty (the 'ER') and had an x-ray, I was fine. Always been wary of stressing my lower back and correcting my posture at the computer.
I don't know if you will find this as interesting as I do, Animal Farm is an allegory for The Russian Revolution in 1917 but the album just uses the books motif to make direct political commentary on Brittish life in the 1970's, though still vailed in allegory the album is far more literal.
@@davemac1197 Agreed. Show 'em the new Maiden vid released today, they'll love it. It's animated (and a very decent tune to boot)!! I was impressed and that's saying summat. Must be my apathy. PMSL.
Good stuff guys!! Lots of lots of interesting insight on this tune.. Ethan, you should check out "Suppers ready" from Genesis! It's about 23 minutes and could possibly be the greatest prog rock song in history!! It's a work of 🎨..take care guys👍
@@fatherandsonreactions alright brother, be ready, it's a trip..recorded in 1972, it influenced many prog rock bands that followed. ..their are like 6 or 7 parts to the song, and it all ties up in the end. The musicianship with Peter Gabriel on vocals, Phil Collins drumming and Tony Banks on keyboards are sick! Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett on the strings unmatched! Enjoy, talk later👍
By the way guys, thanks for providing some laughs today! Your chemistry is so right. And Larry practice holding the pollllll Thursday intro. Ethan um I don't like pig sounds either!👍
Great song to start my Thursday with! Ethan, you might also like to take a listen to this album Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur / Knights of the Round Table. Stay safe & stay strong you two! 💙💙
Pretty cool cut. I never got into this album much growing up. Wasn’t a huge PF fan so I heard mostly the main stream stuff. So this is fairly new to me. Which at this day and age I’d rather revisit stuff I missed than hear the new garbage put out these days.
@@secondchance6603 Sure they did. Dark side of the Moon, Wish you were Here, The Wall all got a lot of airplay. Maybe you define standard stuff differently
That's what animals was all about bro you got to get into the groove and understand you're missing the whole thing young and you're missing the whole thing listen to it again put your headphones on Crank It Up and melt into the music and then you'll get it maybe if you saw it live or seeing a Floyd live you would get it which will help Quadrophenia sound the sound goes all over the room constantly back and forth. And the book that you're reading has ZERO to do what Waters and Gilmore were writing about. It's more about Society Corporation Ect. Rick Wakeman will be pretty close the same as us Journey citizen Earth it's a good album to listen a couple times it seems like with you but you'll like you'll like it brother.. PEACE ✌
This is not a Pink Floyd album in my collection but I was familiar with Animal Farm from school as well. I love their music but I never cared for Roger Water's leftist politics. The book is about Stalinism, but computer says that Water's adapted the ideas in the book to attack capitalism. Everyone not living under a rock in the UK recognises the album cover picture of London landmark, Battersea Power Station. Built between 1929-35 and criticised as an eyesore in the heart of London, powered the central area of the city until Battersea A was decommissioned in 1975 and B in 1978. The 42 acre site, with the station itself a Grade 2 listed building still a major landmark, spent many years in redevelopment hell with many different proposals until work started in 2012 to develop apartments, offices, shops, bars, and entertainment spaces, for a Malaysian investment consortium. Apart from Pink Floyd's album cover, it featured in Alfred Hitchcock's Sabotage, The Beatles Help!, appeared on several album covers for The Orb, as a disused site a filming location for many epidoes of Doctor Who, the film Children Of Men, and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. I still think it's an eyesore.
@@cherylreichardt - I think at one point they were going to have the main building contain an art gallery and have a flying pig suspended over it on a permanent basis as a homage to Pink Floyd. Don't know if that's still happening, it's still a construction site.
@@lisamorrison2149 - I've only got aircon in the car, which ironically is in the only cool room in the house - the garage! Nice to see Ethan get a bit of Rick Wakeman. I've got The Six Wives Of Henry VIII and Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table. Rick was the master of the short snappy album title!
You’re talking about Animal Farm which is about the Russian Revolution. Have a look a this song live it’s very interesting ruclips.net/video/QWLBtMz5OuY/видео.html
That's another good one as well -- but "Journey" was, personally, my first introduction to Wakeman's solo work, so it's the one that made the biggest impression on me, seeing as how I was only about nine at the time. :-)
I going to share everything I liked about this song. OK, done. Boy, are my fingers sore. Actually, I find Ha, Ha, Charade You Are to be way more annoying than the pig noises. I probably would have enjoyed an audio reading of Animal Farm more than this song. Maybe you and your brother can create a 2nd channel - Books on Tape Reactions. Perhaps start with War and Peace. You really have only song left to react to on Animals (Thank goodness), and that is Sheep. Pigs on a Wing Parts I and II bookend the album, but each song is only about a minute and a half.
My favorite floyd album.a masterpiece
Mine too
'Sheep' is a great song as well - the whole album is superb.
Superb is an underestimate!
NIIIIIICCCEEEE!!! THE PIGS ARE ALLLLLLLL ABOUT OUR GOOD GOVERNMENT YOU GUYS! LOL :)
And I recommend you another book, "1984", writen by the same guy who wrote "Animal Farm"
i love it when ya do pink floyd!!!!!!
Probably the most underrated Floyd album. So many good songs including this one
The famous inflatable pig that broke free which ended up in field with a herd of cows

That's another good one as well -- but "Journey" was, personally, my first introduction to Wakeman's solo work, so it's the one that made the biggest impression on me, seeing as how I was only about nine at the time. :-)
I going to share everything I liked about this song. OK, done. Boy, are my fingers sore. Actually, I find Ha, Ha, Charade You Are to be way more annoying than the pig noises. I probably would have enjoyed an audio reading of Animal Farm more than this song. Maybe you and your brother can create a 2nd channel - Books on Tape Reactions. Perhaps start with War and Peace. You really have only song left to react to on Animals (Thank goodness), and that is Sheep. Pigs on a Wing Parts I and II bookend the album, but each song is only about a minute and a half.
