Completely agree. You seem to be among the nicest people ever. So glad you are finally getting PINK FLOYD. Please do "The Wall" album in its entirety as soon as you can.
He is definitely those things...but there's another one out there that's very introspective, thoughtful and intelligent....very soft-spoken...but I don't want to insult Jamal by giving his name. So far, every "reactor" that I've watched has something to offer....each in their own way.....but Jamal is definitely in my top two or three! Obviously a really good dude!
My first Floyd show was the Animals tour. They opened by doing the entire album straight through, then took an intermission before coming back and doing the entire Wish You Were Here album. It’s the only show I’ve ever been to where NO ONE left their seat during intermission; we were all too stunned to move…
i agree with one exception- Its their best overall album from start to finish, never heard an album where every instrument and sound can be heard clearly.
Pink Floyd's lyrics really makes the listener imagine what's going on themselves, like reading a book. Pure genius! Pink Floyd is Rock royalty for sure!
Off topic on topic. The light shows that Pink Floyd put on, even the light show Roger Waters puts on these days is an experience in itself. It’s almost like the band is second to the light show.
@@ontariobuds the one and only time I saw Pink Floyd in concert on LSD my best friend and I held hands and cried the entire time. I really needed to hold her hand to stay grounded
Bass player Roger Waters (who's singing this) is definitely one of the greatest lyricists and songwriters in rock music. He wrote all the lyrics on all their huge 70's albums, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. And, as always, David Gilmour's guitar work is breathtaking.
@@giloro85 There's no doubt Gilmour by far is the superior musician, he can play just about every instrument and Roger by far is the superior songwriter and visionary. David did play more bass in the studio on the later albums but Roger also played rhythm guitar on some of the songs on Animals and The Wall. I don't think the bass playing was an issue between Roger and David. Roger had gotten pretty controlling by the late 70s so if David was playing bass on a song I'm sure it was agreed that David could do a better and quicker job in the studio. They are both absolute geniuses in what they do and I love them both. David said most of their disagreements came while they were co-producing The Wall and they would argue over the tiniest things about how a song should be recorded or mixed. But it doesn't matter that Roger wrote most of the songs and David played bass on a number of the tracks, Floyd would not be Floyd without the both of them. And I love Rick, Nick and Syd too. Sorry I wrote so long.
@@qthelost I agree and I would humbly add that FLoyd wouldnt be Floyd without Syd or the almost unspoken influence of Bob Klose and even the art of Sturm Thurgerson. Write all you want, it doesn't bother me!
@@giloro85 And the occasional appearance by Dick Parry on the sax! I sometimes felt sorry for Nick and Rick who were often overshadowed by a couple of giants. Once Roger left the band and David was in control, Pink Floyd would only do an album or tour whenever David felt like it. Nick said there were many years of sitting and doing nothing. Thank God they did that one last reunion performance in 2005 thanks to Bob Geldolf, ironically the guy who played "Pink" in the movie The Wall. He got Roger, Rick and Nick to agree to do it but David wouldn't. Then Roger got David's phone # from Bob and called him and talked him into it. Always great to talk to another Floyd fan. Take care.
@@qthelostDickParry, Snowy White...all an extremely important component of what we envision when we think FLoyd. yes, a great pleasure. Thank you for indulging me. Take care as well.
@@twistonthat3186 True, but the thing that's different now is that the lunatics running governments now have the technical capability to completely wipe out the entire human race and most other life on the planet. For the entirety of human history and the thousands of years that human "civilisation" has been going, that's been impossible, until only a few decades ago. On top of that we're also altering the composition of the gases in the atmosphere at a phenomenal rate because it's good for business. Industrial pollution has been a big problem and a human killer since the industrial revolution, but now it's altering the entire planet's ecosystem - so is dumping of vast quantities of plastics, chemical and industrial waste and so on. No longer is it possible to just dismiss the archaic, ignorant and insane systems we have governing and running societies throughout the world as, "Well, it's always been corrupt so why bother?" I know you didn't say that, but some folk take these things that way. They might read a comment like yours ad think, oh yea right, it's always been like that. Sod it then, we obviously can't change. Unfortunately, as I am sure most of us here realise, we have to change. The time has been reached in the evolution of human society that necessarily demands that we change, otherwise we'll torture ourselves to death by our own corruption, stupidity and apathy.
@@AD-kv9kj I completely agree with you. My comment was towards the original comment on how the song is still relevant. My point was it's always been that way. The song just exposes the foundation of how things are. Yes, we need to change and we need to change fast. There are sick people who control large aspects of our society. Humanity is in real danger with AI and robot armies only a decade away. AI and robots will either save or destroy humanity and Earth.
My dad made sure I discovered them before I could walk lol But once I sat in a dark room with decent headphones on it was transformational. Absolutely geniuses.
Remember the part in the middle of Dogs when the word "stone" echoes repeatedly? That comes back in the middle of Sheep. Just another way the songs connect.
@@gaborkrausz5402 yeah it's stone. The lyric is "dragged down by the stone", so it's the last word repeating. Though the vocal is heavily processed so you could be forgiven thinking it's ooooh
At the end of of this song Roger is basically saying all human beings are essentially the same. Power corrupts. Notice how the sheep had an uprising and killed the dogs. They though themselves became the new dogs and began to abuse the weaker.
Your face, when you realized the "stone" being repeated again was priceless, you looked a little bit scared and also speechless. Had a lump in your throat.
Listened to this yesterday in the car driving home from a trip, now today watching this video I'm reminded just how much better Pink Floyd sounds with headphones.
Those of us that heard this on vinyl on KILLER systems have only grown fonder of this album...The seventies were so filled with this stuff...I've heard this album at least 500 times..it's so beautifully profound...
@@dustyrhodes1655 Snob? Hell no...:)...An Aficionado! Yes! Playing vinyl is very tactile...I think it brings you closer to the music, because it requires effort...It's removing the album from the slip sleeve tenderly, choosing a side, Putting it on the turntable, Cleaning it, putting the sleeve and album cover away or near for reading lyrics. cuing the tone arm, lowering it all so tenderly, sitting back and waiting for it to start...:)...Those first notes let you know it was all worth the time it took...:)...
Perfect way of explaining to the "new people" why they need to listen, well, experience these epic masterpieces in a certain order. I love this review method besides it taking me back to days of my youth, and becoming inoculated with the Floyd serum of truth. (Ended with a rhyme there)
Dude. The look on your face at "what do you get for pretending the danger's not real" is solid. You know, you know how deep PF goes. I enjoyed your reaction series for Animals. Made me nearly feel like I was listening to it again for the very first time. Thank you sir
The day I bought this album and went home and listened to it for the first time I had no idea that it would be a life long lesson about people , and who you can trust, but the line from dogs that has always stuck with me even 43 years later is if you don't stand your own ground how can you find your way out of this maze.. that's life. I love the look of anticipation on your face when you listen to PF, curious where we are going next I see alot of comments asking for the Wall my second favorite album lol can't wait...♡
Nothing beats them for a live performance!!!!!!!! I had the opportunity to see them twice, once in a outside stadium in Tempe Arizona. They flew the pig on a cable from a crane swinging it around! The music was so loud it was heard inside Sky Harbor International Airport 3 miles away!!!!!!!! They did two performances the second night the City of Tempe made them turn the music down! I was deaf for a week! Since I attended the first LOL, and it was worth every minute!! I have every single recording of theirs ever released, including the theme for Moore, that's never been opened, I bought my first 8-track back in 67 and continued from there. My favorite band of all time and for good reason. ✌️🤠
Hi there, Friend. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 55 years now. They never get old to me! It has been a pleasure watching you react to and become a fan of Pink Floyd. I realize the limitations of having a reaction channel, you should listen to Pink Floyd albums in one sitting to get the most from them. Do it for own personal listening enjoyment. Peace & Pink Floyd forever!
George Orwell was a lifelong democratic socialist and a supporter of the British Labour movement but spoke out against Soviet style totalitarist comunism.
Dogs and Sheep, in tandem, is a total masterpiece, I realized that just now. Always loved the songs separately, but now, your reaction, proves how it all hangs together,,
I was a 15 year old suburban white boy when I bought this, my first Pink Floyd album, shortly after it came out. Mind blown. I have listened to it literally thousands of times. Hundreds of times through headphones. Stone cold sober or under the influence of mind-altering substances. I always hear something I've never noticed before. Every. Single. Time. Without question, in my mind, this band's masterpiece. One of the most powerful, dynamic, DEEP pieces of musical art ever carved in vinyl. It was a pleasure watching you react to it. There is nothing like the first time!
I love the way they parody the 23rd Psalm, as told from the sheep's perspective: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me down to lie. Through pastures green, he leadeth me the silent waters by. With bright knives, he releaseth my soul. He maketh me to hang upon hooks in high places. He converteth me to lamb cutlets for lo, he hath great power and great hunger. When cometh the day we lowly ones, through quiet reflection and great dedication, master the art of karate, then lo, shall we rise up, and then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.
"Thank you for sticking around for these two videos?" Dude you have ME! I am a sixty three year old white guy who loves the shit out of you! I am looking at the black community's reaction videos to Pink Floyd all over the place because I hope with all my heart that all of you will spark a revolution in music by understanding not only what Pink Floyd is delivering to all of us but, their deep understanding of what we all have been enduring for decades. The black community on RUclips gets it, but in my opinion you get it even deeper. The world never changes with one voice. We all have to learn how to sing together. Your tone is clear and true. Thank you. :) I will be looking forward to the rest of what you do.
I appreciate your honest reaction to every video. When I was young me and my friends would talk about the symbolism in these lyrics and your reactions and insights bring back all of those treasured, blessed memories. Shout out to you for going that extra mile with us Boomers!
They tell stories and make you feel them…They switch from mood to mood with the most irresistible groove each time. Each “chapter” if you will is referencing back to previous chapters of themes that paint a whole world. Pink effing Floyd.
You're such a soulful person I love watching your videos. Thank you for taking your time to listen to all these great songs. A lot of people nowadays wouldn't even think about giving this old music a chance. It's what I grew up on. It means a lot to watch someone else enjoy it for the first time and be able to understand it so thank you 👍
Presley, I totally agree with you. It's why I'm addicted to reactions. Seeing someone hear/see something I enjoy so much for the first time just takes me back to *my* first time.
I have been listening to Pink Floyd for all of my adult life and it is a joy to see someone experiencing how I felt in my early 20's for the first time. Close your eyes and let the music flow over you.....
Man, I really dig that you are diving in on your musical journey. You listen to the huge hits and then go back for the deeper cuts. Forcing me to go back as well. What a blessing to have this music available to us. I have dozens of albums that we have held onto since I was a kid that I'm making my own journey through now, well with my wife. So glad right now.
I'm such a fan of Pink Floyd, they're my favorite band! I love it when people hear it for the first time, it's a life changing experience for sure. The ending repeating riff of "Sheep" is one of my all time favorite guitar riffs ever, it just sounds so good! Listen to "The Wall" next, imo it's their best album and if you like symbolism in music than you'll love it too!
I applaud you, Jamel, for picking up on the subtlety of the instruments. As I've always said about Animals, David Gilmour made his guitar sound like the animal namesake of each song. That wasn't just a guitar solo in Dogs, it sounded like a dog howling. Same with Pigs. Not so much with Sheep. It's part of the genius of this album that nobody ever mentions.
I was 17 when that lp came out and i bought it. Your face and reaction to hearing sheep for the first time really brought me back to that day. Thanks so much for that im still smiling!!! I’ll be watching!!
The intro to this song has such a 3-dimensional aspect to it that I swear when I close my eyes, I can see sheep in the heather on the hills in the countryside.
I saw the look on your face at 5:32.....: You heard the loop/echo of "stone" from Dogs didn't you... Imagine walking into the record store in 1977 the day before my birthday, getting this album and going home to put it on the turntable and listening to it from start to finish. I still feel the same about it now as I did then. I am so glad you found this album and are enjoying it so much.
Love you man. A “like” click is not enough for you to understand how much your reactions mean to me. You literally help me get through another day on a regular basis. Thank you
I grew up in Los Angeles! We used to go to Griffith park to the observatory and they would do a laser show at the planetarium using all these Pink Floyd songs! I feel so lucky that my teenage years I could go watch a show with my friends! Good times!
Echoes is fantastic, but if he can take "Careful with that axe Eugene" or "several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" then he is one of us....a true Floydian
TheRedGuy the Pompeii version is the full song, just split in half for the movie. There’s a part one (ending before the ambient part) and a part two (starting with the ambient part)
wait till you get into the Wall ... also must be done in order, youve heard a few but great songs by themselves but when there in context of the whole album makes it all the more impactful, a must listen
'The Wall' is nothing compared to 'Animals', and I speak as a PF fan. Too much filler and too long. Of all the PF concerts I saw from 1973 onwards to 1988, Animals (Empire Pool, Wembley (1977) remains the standout: the whole of 'Animals' and; 'Wish You Were Here', plus two Dark SIde of the Moon tracks (Money/Us and Them) for the encore. Although I saw them perform 'The Wall' twice (Earls Court), looking back I now feel it was bloated and over-theatrical. Clearly, you love the album and that's great.
@@pentar3241 100% agree. There are iconic songs on the album. The concept and story are fantastic, but there 's a long stretch of sludgy, whiny songs on it. It's probably one of the finest 'concept' albums, but there is a lot of tedious music on it. Animals is powerful from start to finish. Angry, cynical and you have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to it, but it's a perfect album.
@@grelch Thanks for your reply gretch. It's all subjective, of course. Genesis' double-sided concept album 'Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' is superior, and one I can listen to from start to finish when the mood strikes. It's worth it alone for the drumming by Phil Collins: masterful and hypnotic. I could listen to it as a standalone musical piece without the singing of Gabriel, such is its strength in terms of composition and muscianship: a tour de force! Happy listening!
@@pentar3241 , yes I too, sort of like you said - looking back, The Wall is a bit long and has some filler stuff, but still really good. Some people say that The Beatles White Album should have just been a single album instead of double. I think that's true as well.
Loved you’re reactions, I’ve been a floyd fan for years, but always struggled with this album, now I’m totally loving it, sheep is just amazing, thanks for encouraging me to re visit it👍
Been listening to this album for nearly 40 years...still as relevant as when it was new to me in high school! You will never be the same, Jamal... welcome to your new reality!
"Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream." Definitely one of Waters' greatest lyrics, and definitely the most visually impressive.
Not to mention: *_Meek and obedient, you follow the leader,_* *_down well-trodden corridors, into the valley of steel._* I wonder what this "valley of steel" these sheep are meekly and obediently following the leader down the well-trodden corridors into. Sounds like a really happy place. I bet it's paradise!
@@hoon_sol - Whoa. Calm down. You were wondering what the lyrics meant and I told you. Do you know what the song is about? Why ask a question and someone politely answers and then you have a tantrum when you get the answer.
@@kdphotos4691: You truly are one dense moron. No, I was not wondering what the lyrics meant. I was "wondering" rhetorically, as is obvious to anyone with half a functioning brain cell still intact. What's even more hilarious is that I was "wondering" rhetorically because it's so obvious what it refers to, and that is *NOT* industry at all, not even remotely close. Yes, I know perfectly well what this song is about; and clearly you have zero clue.
Once again love your reaction to these sounds. Just like when I first heard them over 40yrs ago now. I had to get All their back albums and couldn’t wait for the next. Never get tired of listening to floyd they’re timeless
Great reaction! I like hearing it again through your ears. It's like fresh man. I was again reminded of how much I love the bass coming up out of the electric piano at the beginning. Sublime it is. Pink Floyd is a mindfuck.
Your reaction was my reaction to this when I heard the album at 14 yrs old..😉😎..I'm 59 and have been listening to PF since I was 11...They are a part of my life....😎..Thankyou for reacting to the songs most requested...Your so COOL..😎
Good Sir, Kind Gentleman, Brother, thank you so much for sharing these videos especially the Pink Floyd ones. They are magicians. You are a real trooper to sit through some of these very long and super dark ones. I just searched to make sure you listened to Great Gig in the Sky. Have a wonderful day and thank you again.
I watch you experience what I've been blessed to discover... I see the discovery, appreciation and connection with Pink Floyd and their message and timelessness regardless of age, race, or affiliation in you as you listen.. it is amazing to watch. Thank you! It's an amazing journey to take with you!
So much fun watching you experience this album in the order the songs were intended! Imagine me as a young man buying this album with my birthday money, riding home on my bike, calling my two best friends over and all of us listening to this together. Minds were blown that day!
Such a fucking good band...so underappreciated these days. You really are an amazing influencer as far as music is concerned...keep doing your thing brother!
Jamal, I watched you react to Dogs, Pigs and Sheep and I couldn't wait to see your reaction to Sheep! As I watched you we said exactly the same things and I didn't know what you were going to say. The stank face you had at the point of "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" set me off, as I knew you were going to, as you did, have a jaw drop. My heart swelled with pride and my smile exceeded my wildest expectations! This was a grand reaction. Thanks for doing that!
The very 1st and last tracks are so important to this album. They might not seem to be. But the 1st short track is about revelation and drowning the dogs. The last track is about. We are all Brothers and Sisters who must get along for the planet and all are own personal sakes.
Speaking of weird sounds on Pink Floyd albums, you should also check out the 1992 Roger Waters album "Amused To Death". Besides having some great guitar work by Jeff Beck, the album was mixed using QSound, which simulates a surround sound setup using only stereo speakers or headphones. You'll hear a dog barking, and it sounds like it is coming from the backyard next door.
I also found out this incredible band - Pink Floyd early this year. Now I listen to Pink Floyd music everyday. It is a joy to see your review and reaction on the musics. Rainbow and Black Sabbah are also my fav band, the vocal Ronnie James Dio is supper good and powerful. Therefore, I recommend you to listen "Heaven and Hell" if you have never listen to it before. This song is one of my top list. Hope you will try
Jason Lee, Dio, yes! H&H is one of my favorites of all time. If you want to expand your seventies rock experience, listen to Gamma. Their song “Voyager” is epic. Robin Trower is another “underplayed, nowadays” artist. “Bridge of Sighs,” live is amazing. I’ll try to find the link. Edit: Link for Trower’s Bridge of Sighs: ruclips.net/video/0tLsFsGxLmE/видео.html Link for Voyager: ruclips.net/video/kGbBkq1Mfek/видео.html

I've so enjoyed watching you discover "Animals." I think it is the single most under-rated Floyd album ever.
It got dwarfed between Dark Side and The Wall
It absoulouty could be their best Dogs Pigs 🐖 Sheep What's better...WYWH is right their Dark Side 5 or 6 but not close to these two
i agree with one exception- Its their best overall album from start to finish, never heard an album where every instrument and sound can be heard clearly.
It's (possibly) their best.

Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air..

It's also on the Wall if you listen closely! At least the word stone comes up.

Is still. Tongue like a razor. Almost no better.
you could alternatively say, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" ;)
And the farmer (capitalism ) remained abusive , dissolute and greedy ,Those on the right seem to overlook that .
After 45 years these songs still make me weep
Because they are more relevant than ever.
because even with a 50 year warning we still fucked up and found ourselves in this position.
Your face, when you realized the "stone" being repeated again was priceless, you looked a little bit scared and also speechless. Had a lump in your throat.

Cast down by The Stone.
*STONE*

David Gilmour on bass on this one, Roger Waters plays the awesome rhythm guitar at the end. What a song. What an album. What a band.
Just an FYI. The reason the bass on this album is so hot is because Gilmour laid down all the bass tracks!
@@masssalt Waters does play bass on Dogs.
It is mostly just playing octaves and running a pentatonic scale?
The Pink Floyd experience is life experience. This band has influenced my outlook on reality since I became aware of them as a child. Sheer genius.
Listened to this yesterday in the car driving home from a trip, now today watching this video I'm reminded just how much better Pink Floyd sounds with headphones.
Those of us that heard this on vinyl on KILLER systems have only grown fonder of this album...The seventies were so filled with this stuff...I've heard this album at least 500 times..it's so beautifully profound...
I still listen to it on orginal vinyl....call me a snob but its the only way I can listen to it these days.
@@dustyrhodes1655 Snob? Hell no...:)...An Aficionado! Yes!
Playing vinyl is very tactile...I think it brings you closer to the music, because it requires effort...It's removing the album from the slip sleeve tenderly, choosing a side, Putting it on the turntable, Cleaning it, putting the sleeve and album cover away or near for reading lyrics. cuing the tone arm, lowering it all so tenderly, sitting back and waiting for it to start...:)...Those first notes let you know it was all worth the time it took...:)...
@@godbluffvdgg any time I run across any first or 2nd press Floyd I pick it up
Its Amazing ! Very underrated album !
This album will be forever timeless, it still rings true today and probably tomorrow. It will be my favorite Floyd album.
Priceless! The look on your face when you hear them mention the dogs. Pink Floyd made movies with music every song is an act in the screenplay.
Perfect way of explaining to the "new people" why they need to listen, well, experience these epic masterpieces in a certain order. I love this review method besides it taking me back to days of my youth, and becoming inoculated with the Floyd serum of truth. (Ended with a rhyme there)
"What do you get for pretending the danger's not real?" I had to come back and listen to this today 5/24/2020 Right?!
Love it. Roger delivers the line with such bitterness and malaise. Excellence 👌
Dude. The look on your face at "what do you get for pretending the danger's not real" is solid. You know, you know how deep PF goes. I enjoyed your reaction series for Animals. Made me nearly feel like I was listening to it again for the very first time. Thank you sir
The day I bought this album and went home and listened to it for the first time I had no idea that it would be a life long lesson about people , and who you can trust, but the line from dogs that has always stuck with me even 43 years later is if you don't stand your own ground how can you find your way out of this maze.. that's life. I love the look of anticipation on your face when you listen to PF, curious where we are going next I see alot of comments asking for the Wall my second favorite album lol can't wait...♡
This album is a religious experience..... great reaction!
Religious experience? Did you listen to the lyrics? Really. This is Waters at his subversive utmost.
Even at my age, I still love watching first timers reactions while they’re getting blown away by Pink Floyd.
Nothing beats them for a live performance!!!!!!!! I had the opportunity to see them twice, once in a outside stadium in Tempe Arizona. They flew the pig on a cable from a crane swinging it around! The music was so loud it was heard inside Sky Harbor International Airport 3 miles away!!!!!!!! They did two performances the second night the City of Tempe made them turn the music down! I was deaf for a week! Since I attended the first LOL, and it was worth every minute!!
I have every single recording of theirs ever released, including the theme for Moore, that's never been opened, I bought my first 8-track back in 67 and continued from there. My favorite band of all time and for good reason.
✌️🤠
Thank you for giving Pink Floyd props. They were a huge part of my life. Keep up the great reviews on all the bands you listen to.
Battersea Power Station. Once a symbol of the working class, now a play ground of the rich. Great reaction mate. Keep them up. Best out there.
This song has never been more relevant than it is right now.
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old
so true!
You got that right!
even more now
And growing more relevant by the day.....
Hi there, Friend. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for 55 years now. They never get old to me! It has been a pleasure watching you react to and become a fan of Pink Floyd. I realize the limitations of having a reaction channel, you should listen to Pink Floyd albums in one sitting to get the most from them. Do it for own personal listening enjoyment. Peace & Pink Floyd forever!
SHINE ON my friend
Roger was inspired by George Orwell's book "Animal Farm"
It's a shame 'Ol Rog didn't get the part where George Orwell absolutely hated neo-marxist, Leftist-collectivism. Oh, well...
@@brocklanders6172 i hate that stuff, but did Orwell?
@@APAL880 Yes. Roger Waters loves it.
George Orwell was a lifelong democratic socialist and a supporter of the British Labour movement but spoke out against Soviet style totalitarist comunism.
@@APAL880 thing is how relevant it is today
Dogs and Sheep, in tandem, is a total masterpiece, I realized that just now. Always loved the songs separately, but now, your reaction, proves how it all hangs together,,
"Animals" is my FAVORITE Pink Floyd album. I'm glad you got a chance to enjoy it. :)
I was a 15 year old suburban white boy when I bought this, my first Pink Floyd album, shortly after it came out. Mind blown. I have listened to it literally thousands of times. Hundreds of times through headphones. Stone cold sober or under the influence of mind-altering substances. I always hear something I've never noticed before. Every. Single. Time. Without question, in my mind, this band's masterpiece. One of the most powerful, dynamic, DEEP pieces of musical art ever carved in vinyl. It was a pleasure watching you react to it. There is nothing like the first time!
I love the way they parody the 23rd Psalm, as told from the sheep's perspective: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me down to lie.
Through pastures green, he leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives, he releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang upon hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets for lo, he hath great power and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones, through quiet reflection and great dedication, master the art of karate, then lo, shall we rise up, and then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.
These are the lyrics in Sheep?
Jonathan Bornstein ya it’s done in a really weird and hidden voice during on of the weirder instrumental parts

Vegan manifesto?
Ronald Elkins yes but I always thought that they should have made the last several lines of it a little more discernible to the listener.
Brings me great joy to watch your Floyd enlightenment!
"Thank you for sticking around for these two videos?"
Dude you have ME!
I am a sixty three year old white guy who loves the shit out of you!
I am looking at the black community's reaction videos to Pink Floyd all over the place because I hope with all my heart that all of you will spark a revolution in music by understanding not only what Pink Floyd is delivering to all of us but, their deep understanding of what we all have been enduring for decades.
The black community on RUclips gets it, but in my opinion you get it even deeper. The world never changes with one voice. We all have to learn how to sing together.
Your tone is clear and true.
Thank you. :)
I will be looking forward to the rest of what you do.
Thanks Brotha 🙏🏾 I Appreciate you
I get it 🙏🙏👍👍
I appreciate your honest reaction to every video. When I was young me and my friends would talk about the symbolism in these lyrics and your reactions and insights bring back all of those treasured, blessed memories. Shout out to you for going that extra mile with us Boomers!
Yes Jamel, you figured it out, a (continuous) story they tell haha
I keep changing my favorite song on this album
Todd kelly, same here. When i hear each one, at that time, its my favorite.
I have no favorite PF I think...love them
it's 'dogs' for me solid hands down
it happens to me too
I just see it as one long song with different sections.
They tell stories and make you feel them…They switch from mood to mood with the most irresistible groove each time.
Each “chapter” if you will is referencing back to previous chapters of themes that paint a whole world.
Pink effing Floyd.
I'm jealous. How amazing would it be to be able to go back and experience Pink Floyd for the first time all over again.
You've come so far and the road has only begun my friend.
You're such a soulful person I love watching your videos. Thank you for taking your time to listen to all these great songs. A lot of people nowadays wouldn't even think about giving this old music a chance. It's what I grew up on. It means a lot to watch someone else enjoy it for the first time and be able to understand it so thank you 👍
Thank You for watching with me🙏🏾 I Appreciate you👍🏾
Presley, I totally agree with you. It's why I'm addicted to reactions. Seeing someone hear/see something I enjoy so much for the first time just takes me back to *my* first time.
I have been listening to Pink Floyd for all of my adult life and it is a joy to see someone experiencing how I felt in my early 20's for the first time. Close your eyes and let the music flow over you.....
Back in 78 i was nearly 14year young and 1 times listing too pink floyd album animals it blows my mind up and i became a huge pink floyd fan
I've always thought that all of life's lessons are in song lyrics. Happy listening my man.
Man, I really dig that you are diving in on your musical journey. You listen to the huge hits and then go back for the deeper cuts. Forcing me to go back as well. What a blessing to have this music available to us. I have dozens of albums that we have held onto since I was a kid that I'm making my own journey through now, well with my wife. So glad right now.
It's amazing how the lyrics blend into and become synthesized. I've listened to this song many times and still can't find the point that it changes.
I'm such a fan of Pink Floyd, they're my favorite band! I love it when people hear it for the first time, it's a life changing experience for sure. The ending repeating riff of "Sheep" is one of my all time favorite guitar riffs ever, it just sounds so good!
Listen to "The Wall" next, imo it's their best album and if you like symbolism in music than you'll love it too!
I applaud you, Jamel, for picking up on the subtlety of the instruments. As I've always said about Animals, David Gilmour made his guitar sound like the animal namesake of each song. That wasn't just a guitar solo in Dogs, it sounded like a dog howling. Same with Pigs. Not so much with Sheep. It's part of the genius of this album that nobody ever mentions.
They were ahead of their time. I always found dim lights and a glass of good bourbon is a good way to listen to these guys.
Alan Peterson,
Dim lights (or better yet, one of those light balls that reacts to music) and some good indica.
I was 17 when that lp came out and i bought it. Your face and reaction to hearing sheep for the first time really brought me back to that day.
Thanks so much for that im still smiling!!! I’ll be watching!!
The intro to this song has such a 3-dimensional aspect to it that I swear when I close my eyes, I can see sheep in the heather on the hills in the countryside.
Love seeing folks get turned on to what I grew up with. 😎🎼🎵🎶🎧
I saw the look on your face at 5:32.....: You heard the loop/echo of "stone" from Dogs didn't you...
Imagine walking into the record store in 1977 the day before my birthday, getting this album and going home to put it on the turntable and listening to it from start to finish.
I still feel the same about it now as I did then. I am so glad you found this album and are enjoying it so much.
Heh, my first copy of this was on 8-track. Whew.
@@rickbarton9130 Ah, the good old days. 8 track in the car was the business.
I did the same 1977...timeless album...Sounds so good just two albums removed from DSOTM.....but vastly different.
Love you man. A “like” click is not enough for you to understand how much your reactions mean to me. You literally help me get through another day on a regular basis. Thank you
I grew up in Los Angeles! We used to go to Griffith park to the observatory and they would do a laser show at the planetarium using all these Pink Floyd songs! I feel so lucky that my teenage years I could go watch a show with my friends! Good times!
I think you are now ready for Echoes grasshopper.
Live in Pompeii
Echoes is fantastic, but if he can take "Careful with that axe Eugene" or "several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" then he is one of us....a true Floydian
Todd Kelly or maybe even "Funky Dung" .
@@jaysims528 no, that's like 15 minutes. The REAL echoes is 25 minutes. Tho I do love the Pompeii concert!
TheRedGuy the Pompeii version is the full song, just split in half for the movie. There’s a part one (ending before the ambient part) and a part two (starting with the ambient part)
Ok guy, so now you can go through "Shine on Your Crazy Diamond" and "Echoes", and you'll know all the secrets of the Universe.
I thought he did SOYCD months ago?
That is by far my favorite pink floyd album and favorite track on this album
That's badass that you reacted to this song and album man.
wait till you get into the Wall ... also must be done in order, youve heard a few but great songs by themselves but when there in context of the whole album makes it all the more impactful, a must listen
'The Wall' is nothing compared to 'Animals', and I speak as a PF fan. Too much filler and too long. Of all the PF concerts I saw from 1973 onwards to 1988, Animals (Empire Pool, Wembley (1977) remains the standout: the whole of 'Animals' and; 'Wish You Were Here', plus two Dark SIde of the Moon tracks (Money/Us and Them) for the encore. Although I saw them perform 'The Wall' twice (Earls Court), looking back I now feel it was bloated and over-theatrical. Clearly, you love the album and that's great.
@@pentar3241 100% agree. There are iconic songs on the album. The concept and story are fantastic, but there 's a long stretch of sludgy, whiny songs on it. It's probably one of the finest 'concept' albums, but there is a lot of tedious music on it. Animals is powerful from start to finish. Angry, cynical and you have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to it, but it's a perfect album.
@@grelch Thanks for your reply gretch. It's all subjective, of course. Genesis' double-sided concept album 'Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' is superior, and one I can listen to from start to finish when the mood strikes. It's worth it alone for the drumming by Phil Collins: masterful and hypnotic. I could listen to it as a standalone musical piece without the singing of Gabriel, such is its strength in terms of composition and muscianship: a tour de force! Happy listening!
@@pentar3241 , yes I too, sort of like you said - looking back, The Wall is a bit long and has some filler stuff, but still really good. Some people say that The Beatles White Album should have just been a single album instead of double. I think that's true as well.
@@pentar3241 wow, your comment makes me want to listen to that Genesis album. I haven't heard that one.
Loved you’re reactions, I’ve been a floyd fan for years, but always struggled with this album, now I’m totally loving it, sheep is just amazing, thanks for encouraging me to re visit it👍
Been listening to this album for nearly 40 years...still as relevant as when it was new to me in high school! You will never be the same, Jamal... welcome to your new reality!
"Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream."
Definitely one of Waters' greatest lyrics, and definitely the most visually impressive.
Not to mention:
*_Meek and obedient, you follow the leader,_*
*_down well-trodden corridors, into the valley of steel._*
I wonder what this "valley of steel" these sheep are meekly and obediently following the leader down the well-trodden corridors into. Sounds like a really happy place. I bet it's paradise!
@@hoon_sol - It refers to industry.
@@kdphotos4691:
Hilariously wrong. One of the most common-and stupid-misinterpretation of that piece of lyrics that's out there. Try again.
@@hoon_sol - Whoa. Calm down. You were wondering what the lyrics meant and I told you. Do you know what the song is about? Why ask a question and someone politely answers and then you have a tantrum when you get the answer.
@@kdphotos4691:
You truly are one dense moron. No, I was not wondering what the lyrics meant. I was "wondering" rhetorically, as is obvious to anyone with half a functioning brain cell still intact. What's even more hilarious is that I was "wondering" rhetorically because it's so obvious what it refers to, and that is *NOT* industry at all, not even remotely close. Yes, I know perfectly well what this song is about; and clearly you have zero clue.
I like how you listen to the songs in oreder, very important for listening to Pink Floyd since most of their albums are concept albums. Great job.
Animals is a concept album, loosely based off the George Orwell novel, Animal Farm.
Once again love your reaction to these sounds. Just like when I first heard them over 40yrs ago now. I had to get All their back albums and couldn’t wait for the next. Never get tired of listening to floyd they’re timeless
Great reaction! I like hearing it again through your ears. It's like fresh man. I was again reminded of how much I love the bass coming up out of the electric piano at the beginning. Sublime it is. Pink Floyd is a mindfuck.
True genius each and every member.
Your reaction was my reaction to this when I heard the album at 14 yrs old..😉😎..I'm 59 and have been listening to PF since I was 11...They are a part of my life....😎..Thankyou for reacting to the songs most requested...Your so COOL..😎
Good Sir, Kind Gentleman, Brother, thank you so much for sharing these videos especially the Pink Floyd ones. They are magicians.
You are a real trooper to sit through some of these very long and super dark ones. I just searched to make sure you listened to Great Gig in the Sky.
Have a wonderful day and thank you again.
I watch you experience what I've been blessed to discover... I see the discovery, appreciation and connection with Pink Floyd and their message and timelessness regardless of age, race, or affiliation in you as you listen.. it is amazing to watch. Thank you! It's an amazing journey to take with you!
I gave you a like before the video started when I saw the song. This may be my favorite Pink Floyd album. I have about 4 of them.
Waaay ahead of their time. I love em.
I LOVE your videos!!! You make me happy watching your genuine reaction to some of my all-time favorite songs!! THANK YOU!!
I normally don't like reaction vids, but I really do enjoy yours. Pink Floyd and Primus are 2 of my all times! Keep up the good work my friend.
Glad you’re back to Pink Floyd! Love your remarks.
So much fun watching you experience this album in the order the songs were intended! Imagine me as a young man buying this album with my birthday money, riding home on my bike, calling my two best friends over and all of us listening to this together. Minds were blown that day!
Great story Ken lol and here we are just big Kids listening to great music lol...♡
I have not Seen anyone play these for 30 years...Thank You!
I get the same feeling when i listen to this epic album 40 yrs later...blows my mind everytime
Such a fucking good band...so underappreciated these days. You really are an amazing influencer as far as music is concerned...keep doing your thing brother!
See, I knew that you'd like this one Jamel!
Pink Floyd albums are like a book and the songs are chapters that tell the story.
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album,and Sheep is my favorite song on it.
As a 100k sub special, you could do the The Wall reaction! That is a hell of a journey!
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Yes!
Bro! Listen Echoes ( Live Pompeii ) that is amazing song. That song you will love
@tuco u goddamn right no one appreciate one of these days
You have to be ready for “echoes” Pompeii, he’s ready... enjoy
Echoes live at Gdańsk is also worth mention as it was Rick Wright’s last performance
@Tuco The Rat One of these days was fantastic live. Saw Roger in Houston couple years ago.
@Tuco The Rat You were great in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly btw amigo. Respect.
brilliant what a reaction Video from you a great song from Floyd and now 40 plus yrs old still relevant,
Jamal, I watched you react to Dogs, Pigs and Sheep and I couldn't wait to see your reaction to Sheep! As I watched you we said exactly the same things and I didn't know what you were going to say. The stank face you had at the point of "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" set me off, as I knew you were going to, as you did, have a jaw drop. My heart swelled with pride and my smile exceeded my wildest expectations! This was a grand reaction. Thanks for doing that!
The very 1st and last tracks are so important to this album.
They might not seem to be.
But the 1st short track is about revelation and drowning the dogs. The last track is about. We are all Brothers and Sisters who must get along for the planet and all are own personal sakes.
Mark is talking about 'Pigs on the Wing'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_on_the_Wing
He's correct. The Yin to the Yang... so to speak.
but what happen with the pig ?
@@alexterrieur5800
Listen to sheep once again and you hear their version of the lord's prayer.
The sheep rose up and made the burgers eyes water. 😉
@@straightreject2947 thx i think im gonna read the book animal farm.i love this way to compare humanity
I always skip Pigs on the Wing (both of them). I guess I should listen to the whole album, in order. I haven’t done that in 40+ years.
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast.
Forty years later,this masterpiece sounds better than ever..thanx !
"Bleating and babbling they fell on his neck with a scream" has to be my favorite lyric of all time
Speaking of weird sounds on Pink Floyd albums, you should also check out the 1992 Roger Waters album "Amused To Death". Besides having some great guitar work by Jeff Beck, the album was mixed using QSound, which simulates a surround sound setup using only stereo speakers or headphones. You'll hear a dog barking, and it sounds like it is coming from the backyard next door.
@R.Gray such an incredible album!
I also found out this incredible band - Pink Floyd early this year. Now I listen to Pink Floyd music everyday. It is a joy to see your review and reaction on the musics. Rainbow and Black Sabbah are also my fav band, the vocal Ronnie James Dio is supper good and powerful. Therefore, I recommend you to listen "Heaven and Hell" if you have never listen to it before. This song is one of my top list. Hope you will try
Jason Lee,
Dio, yes! H&H is one of my favorites of all time.
If you want to expand your seventies rock experience, listen to Gamma. Their song “Voyager” is epic. Robin Trower is another “underplayed, nowadays” artist. “Bridge of Sighs,” live is amazing. I’ll try to find the link.
Edit:
Link for Trower’s Bridge of Sighs:

My absolute favorite Pink Floyd song! Thanks for sharing your reactions
Dude; you can make any bad day I've had go away. Thank you for doing this (and all of the other ones too!)
