Wow, I keep hearing new things upon each listen. This one is on a whole different level! Thanks so much for watching...Hope to see you next week for more Floyd!!! 🥰
I have no clue as to how many times I have enjoyed this song, but I suspect I'll never tire of it.
Ditto!
NEVER ! :)
@@Newfie-zc7ug EVER-never! Like a fine wine...
When I have to leave my vehicle in a mechanical workshop, I used to place the CD on this song.
And regularly, the mechanic who worked on my vehicle, compliments me for this musical choice.
I hope he became a full on Pink Floyd fan too!
"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"
The stone is the bad blood built up over the years that saps you of your humanity, rots your heart and eventually drags you down. This is easily my favorite song off the album. That repetitive echo of the word 'Stone'... starts off as a word then slowly becomes a plaintive wail. A sad lonely voice in the darkness crying out for help. It is basically the whole song in a nutshell. This is the brilliance of Roger Waters' writing. Gilmour and Wright's stellar musicianship notwithstanding, it is the eerie hypnotic sonic touches such as these, that I can almost guarantee you stemmed from Waters' brilliant if mildly demented psyche, that adds that certain dimension to the music that causes it to bypass the cerebral cortex altogether and go right to the soul. Pink Floyd were truly a collaboration of music imagination and flat out genius, the likes of which we may never see again.
Unbelievably well put paragraph from start to finish.....
@@retroreactions.... 🙏
It is also a reference to Animal Farm by Orwell. When the farmer, Mr. Jones, saw that the dog was getting too old he would tie a stone around its neck and toss the poor thing in the pond.
brutal analogy then....don't remember a thing from that book..
One thing that seems pretty common in Pink Floyd: Post-Dark Side lyrics were very direct. Poetic, beautifully crafted by Roger Waters, but very little abstraction. One major example is from the song Pigs (Three Different Ones.) Reactors perk right up when Roger says “Hey you, Whitehouse…” The lyrics after that get…strange. I will not give away too much but you should know who Mary Whitehouse was. A miserable censor who “tried to keep their feelings off the street.” She was a “sex educator” who tried to get many shows and music out of the hands of Great Britain’s citizens. People who think about the White House in D.C. hear weird lyrics that sometimes fit, sometimes not. The lyrics get very abstract. When you know who Mary Whitehouse was the lyrics become hilariously bawdy and as subtle as a punch to the face.
(People say Animals is the Pink Floyd “saddest album.” This is the dumbest hot take I have ever read. The other of the big 4 albums are waaaay sadder. Animals is a cartoon rock opera (per Waters and Gilmour at various times.) I think the album has some great dark humor.)
Some of Gilmour's grittiest guitar work here. The acoustic guitar intro (and throughout) is tuned to drop-D, giving it a darker, more ominous vibe, yet still beautiful to the ear. And let's not overlook Gilmour's powerful singing...lots of pathos in that voice.
That explains it...don't know technical side of guitar. Yes this one is on a different level....
Acoustic guitar was played by Waters
This is my favorite Pink Floyd song. And it’s okay if others have different favorites, and my favorites from them sometimes change depending on what is going on in my life. You seriously can not go wrong if randomly picked any song from their catalog.
I am learning that very quickly...Thanks Mike!
Even their albums after Roger left the band were good, especially The Division Bell.
Is that where high hopes is from ?
@@retroreactions.... That's an affirmative!
@@retroreactions.... yes it is.
One of their best songs, IMO 👍🏼
On a different level... even for them!
Mason, Gilmour, Waters, Wright: the best and most unique combination of people in music ever.
Well Brandon, that was worth waiting for and fitting that without doubt this was the best reaction video I’ve ever seen. Possibly my all.time favourite song, I just knew you’d love it and will again and again.
The next two tracks, Pigs (three different ones) and Sheep won’t disappoint either, I’m so looking forward to seeing you experience those as well.
Whilst watching this reaction, I had the strangest feeling that at one point you looked up and could actually see me! It sounds ridiculous but I mention it because I’ve never experienced anything like it before.
Keep doing what you’re doing my friend, you’re a star. 👍🎸🤘
Wow, what an honor to receive such an amazing compliment!!! Maybe I'll stay on this album till finished? Interesting......who knows, I do believe in telepathy :) Thanks for your support and all the kind words R....
The Smashing Pumpkins- "Cherub Rock".......i will never forget hearing this the first time....I was at work and thought WHO sings this song?! It is stellar.
This album might be their most psychedelic and a favorite. Probably my second favorite, behind 'Meddle'. You'd love 'Meddle', sometime. It has a mix of an earthly tranquility, and an ethereal aspect that lifts you into space, and holds you there. My favorite off the album is 'A Pillow of Winds'.
Sounds impeccable! Will add another vote on my list for Pillow, thanks Wallace!
@@retroreactions.... You have other votes for it? Cool!
Oh yes, I'm sure several have suggested it by now...
Bad azz jam I haven't heard this in a very long time, thanks man.
Thanks for watching Jimmy! Glad you got to hear it again..
The first movement on the drop your brain was like trying to process. What the fuck is this beautiful thing then the second you accept it absorbs into your soul and your body is in sync with one of the greatest pieces of music ever written my favorite since the day it came out, and to this day the look on your face reminds me of how I felt the first time I’ve heard it and I never tire of it
One of my favorite Floyd songs, now that I am almost done hearing all their albums!
Pink Floyd wrote dogs, period.
That repeat echo is played on their live pulse tour at the end of “another brick in the wall” song in 1994. Very cool stuff, not many catch that.
One of the most underated songs of all time 👌🏼
Love it so much!
I can only say that Animals is best to listen to the songs in order. I actually learned to play chess listening to Animals. Not advanced but had a book with some examples of openings and so. never got good...basically only knows how the pieces moves but that 's all.
Yea, I bet that's the case with all their albums....gotta get a PF release strategy asap....at least with the live stuff I can react randomly...
Animals is my favorite PF album - at least at the moment. Sheep is the most insane track on the album. They’re all great, but Sheep is otherworldly good
Wow, another vote for sheep! Thanks Greg
@@retroreactions.... you will not be disappointed. There is no praise I can give that would overhype that song. Another PF masterpiece
Pure io amo soprattutto SHEEP...quel parafrasare un bellissimo brano della Bibbia (Salmo 22 /23) che sarebbe una rassicurante e fiduciosa preghiera al Signore che è come un protettivo ed amorevole Pastore delle sue pecore ( che sarebbe ogni essere umano) e che loro invece trasformano in un bisbigliare ( tipico della preghiera ) così duro , cupo e claustrofobico...un orrore senza speranza che è riservato alle pecore /esseri umani che sprovveduti e superficiali si affidano al potente di turno divenendo nelle mani del Padrone Cattivo carne da macello.
Ci sarebbe molto da riflettere anche per noi a riguardo
@@65alef ottima riflessione. Non ci avevo mai pensato
@@vercingetorige4267 😎😉😘
Something about this album grows on you the older you get. I was about 17 yrs old when it 1st came out & was disappointed it didn't match Dark Side & Wish U Were Here, but now I think it's a match.
Since I'm old I get to skip the disappointment phase LOL...
Gilmour played both parts of the double tracked solo. When the did it live, snowy played the second part of the solo in a dualing style. This song existed for over 3 years with different lyrics. It was called you gotta be crazy. What became the song sheep was called raving and drooling.
Thanks for the info Cliff!
I love this whole album. I think "Dogs" is their Magnum Opus. You researched it and found out about the barking. Nooooo, oh well. You called it a Masterpiece. I think it is too. Much respect to this video.
All those animal titles peaked my curiosity so had to ask someone beforehand about the animal sounds! But that vocodered barking, cool as you know what! Thanks as always Renee!
@@retroreactions.... Very Cool, thank you to. : )
Dogs and Time are my faves, followed by Echoes.
I hear Time is amazing, have to discover it soon!
@@retroreactions.... Dark Side of the Moon is obviously a Masterpiece. For me, it has gotten OVERPLAYED. I did see Floyd in concert in 1994. It was at a stadium. It was HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought this masterpiece in 1977, when it first came out & didn't have liner notes to go with my s#itty cassette tape.....but my cheap $i00 stereo & headphones were more than enough.
it s not any random dogs we hear in Dogs ! been a while and maybe i dreamed that ! 🐕🦺🦮
the vocodered dogs were AMAZING!
Pink Anderson
Floyd Council
Two great Blues musicians of which
Pink Floyd derived its name.
I have always lived somewhere rural on a ranch. I first heard Pink Floyd in 1968 while my brothers and I were loading,hauling, and stacking hay. In the nearby small town in northern Arizona the AM station DJ actually played Interstellar Overdrive.(off Piper at the Gates of Dawn) I was immediately hooked.
At first opportunity I purchased the 8-track.
Since then I accumulate everything they ever recorded on vinyl. The routine was always the same Two LPS one eight track.
So I have a set of unopened P.F. LPS.
( that should make some happy at my demise)lol
There are a couple rare, where I could only afford one. "I've never heard them."
We went to the Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Momentary Lapse of Reason concerts. The last one we attended the Encore concert the following night as well.
If you researched then you're aware Animals is about George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Don't really have a favorite PF song. Although Animals Wishyou Were Here and Metal get played the most.
I'm content with listening to Adam Hart Mother Suite or Umaguma.
Saucer full of secrets
Interstellar Overdrive
Set the controls for the heart of the Sun.
✌️
🤠🐂🏞️
Wow, what a history you have with Pink Floyd..... amazing!
Great reactions to a great ICONIC band ! Incredible album💯 TY
Thanks for watching!
We reached the top of the mountain right here boys. Time to break for camp. 🏕 When you listen to the other big songs on this LP, find the new 2018 remix versions bcuz you will be able to hear alot more of those sweet keyboards that Rick laid down on Sheep and Pigs (3 Diff Ones).
This was always my favorite Gilmour playing of all time. That resonance on the strings that goes from one channel to the other is the God tone I'm sure of it! 👌 There's some great bootleg recordings of that '77 tour that you can easily find on YT. Probably MSG July 2nd or the Oakland or early Paris shows are worth a listen. Some loud audiences, but the music shines thru. Also they did officially release the early live versions from' 74 with different lyrics on the WYWH Immersion set. Dogs was "You Gotta Be Crazy" and Sheep was "Raving and Drooling".
Darn OK, well 2018 it is for the rest of the album....Will listen to a live '77 version now, thanks!
@@retroreactions.... No problem. I envy you being able to listen to it all for the first time! 😉 👌 Funny fact, the songs on Animals were so long that on the cassette version, they had to fade out one of the songs (P3DO's) and fade it back in on side 2! Another GREAT little gem is that the 8-track tape version had a longer version of the opening and closing track Pigs On The Wing with their extra touring guitarist Snowy White who laid down a sweet little solo to bridge both halves of pt1 and pt2. Something about the limitations of the 8-track technology prevented having such short songs. This version was released officially on a compilation CD of Snowy White's which I'm sure is easily found on YT. Amazing Floyd still haven't released this version, even on the new remixed CD! But I do prefer the original mix of Pigs On The Wing because there was more echo on Roger's vocals, but for the rest of the album the 2018 remix is mostly better for the boosted instrumentation alone.
You said it! So intricate... Don't know if it was intended but there was a middle section with a 'whiplash' effect (referencing dogs again?). The repeating chorus near the end was a bit like the one in Brain Damage on Dark side. I always notice something different. As you say, a masterpiece.
Animals is an incredible album
A big yes to that!
First time I saw them, they also did the entire album of Dark Side of the Moon. Madison Square Garden.
Best money you've ever spent!!
I enjoy some Weed when i listen to Animals, though i seem to melt into the chair when Dogs plays.
Great song from a stellar album.
"You don't need Weed to enjoy Pink Floyd, you need Pink Floyd to enjoy Weed."
Pink Floyd music never gets old with age, it just gets better.
You'll still be discovering things in their music in 30 years time.
Excellent reaction video bro.
Cheers.
Thanks so much James! I can't even imagine what PF and Dogs sound like while on weed! Great quote btw...
@@retroreactions....
Thanks bud.
My favourite quote that's so fitting for the Pink Floyd Weed experience is from The Twilight Zone...
"Let me take you on a journey not only of sight and sound, but of mind."
Deep and meaningful, just like Pink Floyd's music.
Cheers.
Cheers, thanks for watching and for the comments!
@@retroreactions....
You're welcome.
Really enjoy your reactions! The full package - reaction, facts then rating
Thanks so much Some George! I'm really trying to do well here! Appreciate your compliment and for watching!
What can one say about this… mind blowing, simply brilliant ❤🙏
I LOOOOOOOOVE this song and album!
@@retroreactions.... I have been watching ytube& young people reacting to all this genius& they are ALL blown away 😊
Yet another prog album masterpiece, each track is gold but Dogs is extra special. Highly recommend you check out Roger Water's live version on his phenomenal "In the Flesh" live DVD from 2000, featuring long time Floyd/Waters live keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Jon Carin handling Dave Gilmour's vocal part, the acoustic guitar parts and Rick Wright's keyboard lead work. Roger's entire band for this tour were extraordinary! Cheers
Watching it now!
We share the same favorite part! 11:42 did you hear the whistles? Also throughout the song listen for the sound of whips in the percussion part. Some sort of cymbal hit I think. 18:33 you reacted to the crack of the whip!
Where I grew up there was a greyhound race track. The first part of the lyrics are more staid and compact, even restrictive. Then the music and lyrics open up and flow like the dogs chasing the stuffed bunny around the track. The best musical pay-off in all of Rock happens as the dog, as portrayed by Gilmour and his guitar, wails at the sunset of his own existence (maybe today?) I have listened to this song at least 70-80 times in the past week as I deconstruct and learn to sing it.
Wow, I haven't even thought of learning and singing along to their music! Just now heard the whistles...dogs...makes perfect sense! Whips too? Genius! I'm sure I will hearing new things everytime I listen...Thanks Louis....
Always a favourite. I think you would enjoy the rest of the album. It's one of their best. I also recommend Welcome to the Machine from the Wish You Were Here album, which feature some wonderful keyboards by Rick.
Don't worry, gonna do it all!
Dragged down by the stone.. drowning by rope and stone.. #fyi ~ excellent reaction man, gotta love a guy who takes notes (; and yes the whole album is a masterpiece #enjoy #newsub
Ha, thanks for the kind words! Can't wait to hear the rest. Thanks for much for your sub and comment :)
My cat used to perk up her ears when the dogs barked.
Haha nice!!
Pigs, Dogs, and Sheep are a takeoff on the book Animal Farm by George Orwell
Such a cool reaction, I just had to watch it again!
Aww thanks so much, I clearly LOVE this song!
my favorite song🖖
You have excellent taste!
recently discoverd you i like your comments a lot I have seen them a few time live in the seventies Keep on going with them Greetings from a old dutch man
To me the "stone" is the burden that ambitious business men (dogs) put on themselves throughout their lives to compete with other dogs. For example overworking "Found dead on the phone". Or a lack of family life "only a stranger at home". It drags them down in the end.
Yea I can see that...deep song....thanks for watching!!
Yes, along with guilt
defenitaly MusicArt , in that young age they where creating their Sound + way to tell they open the curtain to your inside timeMirrow ..... so very hard , it's like soul cleanout .
Dogs of War is a much later song that is also a much worthy listen. Dark Side of the moon - biggest selling album ever
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice, apply. 💛
LOLOLOLOL....ok....
Maybe one of five masterpieces by PF. In last 70's their fans compared Animals with Wish and Dark and didn't listen to the beauty: there's something strange, here, that is an announcement to The Wall. But... all in all it's just a brick in the wall!
If you liked that instrumental psychedelic section you gonna like their song Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun from Pompeii.
Cool, what album is that one from?
@@retroreactions....A Saucerful of Secrets, early Pink Floyd. I don't recommend the studio version though. Pompeii is best. Look in the video description whether it's from Pompeii if you are searching for it.
@@retroreactions.... I don't wanna step on the OP's toes with an answer, just wanted to add that another AH-MAZE-ING live rendition of 'Set the Controls ...' is from Roger's solo "In the Flesh" tour in 2000 which I attended (confusingly, one of his recent tours used the same title, correct link to entire concert video here, note the time-stamps in description): ruclips.net/video/NDTWsuyDYRM/видео.html&ab_channel=FloydianWaters
On my list! Thanks
Dark side of the Moon is also like all of P.F nice to hear as a hole story should be listened in one's the hole Album
The dogs are the enforcers for the pigs. Read or watch a great video of "Animal Farm". A very concise statement about politics. And very accurate. Written by George Orwell. A book that was way ahead of it's time. Peace...
I know I read that one and 1984 I think in high school, but forgot it. Thanks for watching, peace!
This song was actually written in '73 when they did a tour for nearly 1.5 yrs working out 3 compositions that they wanted to truly be reflective of their growth as musicians. Not a single band member thinks Dark Side of the Moon is a reflection of their best work, feeling it was incomplete, hurried, and unpolished. This was the inspiration for these 3 compositions which were Dogs, Sheep, and Shine on You Crazy Diamond. They were to be the follow-up album from Darkside, but epic meaningful events in their life caused that historic alteration in which Dogs and Sheep were pushed to the next album, and lots of the motivating inspirational material that made up Pigs composition was first muddled within the Wish You Were Here album but found to be not the right context in the end, and Have a Cigar along with Welcome to the Machine were penned instead. But if you listen to those two songs just before listening to Pigs(three different ones), you will undoubtedly catch the likeness and similarities. It is almost unimaginable to think of how those shows were, with Darkside of the Moon tracks bookending and filling the gaps between Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Dogs & Sheep.
Wow, what an interesting journey these songs took! Thanks Robert...
Indeed, and some of the bootleg live versions of the early versions are amazing.
@@retroreactions.... if you ever find yourself with the time, listen to Sheep, Pigs(three different ones), Have a Cigar, Welcome to the Machine, Dogs, Shine on You Crazy Diamond (parts I-V followed by parts VI-IX). All of those compositions and songs are from the same vein only tapped over the period of 7ish years.
Rest of Animals coming soon I think. I have a reaction to Shine 1-5 already! Thanks
@Retro Reactions Don't forget 6 to 9 of Shine on. In alot of peooles opinion its even better.
I love your PF reactions, I've binge-watched all of them last night/this morning, and you already are one of my favorite "reactors" 😀
Aw wow, that's so kind of you!! I'm trying hard to get a little better in each video. Your comment gives me much motivation. And I am doing TONS of PF in the future (every week) as you can probably imagine, so hope you can stick around for the journey! Dogs was amazing as you saw! Peace...
@@retroreactions.... Tell you what, you're so good and seem so nice, I'll even watch your reactions to other bands/singers, even though I never do that 😀
Aw, thanks. Definitely no obligation, but whenever you can....you may find something you really like too!
🎶❤️🎶
The first time that I ever heard 'Dogs' was when Disc Jockey -Dr. Johnny Fever played it on the radio during an episode of WKRP In Cincinnati. Classic show!
Nice! Wasn't that a TV show as well?
@@retroreactions.... Probably the best comedic sitcom for rock in roll music lovers that was ever created. ruclips.net/video/1enfo8zn3_g/видео.html
Iconic!!
@@retroreactions.... "In Concert" is a very special episode of WKRP in Cincinnati. The plot is centered around the deadly gate-rushing incident that occurred in Cincinnati prior to the December 3, 1979, performance by The Who at Riverfront Coliseum, eleven weeks before the episode aired. Attendees arrived as much as six hours before the start of the concert to attempt to garner the best available seats, and a crowd had gathered by 3:00 p.m. An hour before the start of the concert, "thousands were tightly packed around the entrance doors", and by 7:20 p.m.the crowd consisted of 8,000 people. Some members of the crowd rushed the gates on the plaza level on the west side of the Coliseum, crushing those at the front. The incident resulted in the death of 11 individuals by compressive asphyxia and injuries to 23. Hugh Wilson, the show's producer, said he initially rejected the idea for the episode, but later accepted when writers told him that the incident happened in Cincinnati, in which the show is based, and involved rock and roll, the show's primary subject. The episode would focus on the fact that few cities in the United States addressed the issue of festival and unreserved seating after the incident.

My favourite Pink Floyd song. Amazing reaction!
You may also like the 2018 remix which was released last october. Gives a whole new dynamic.
Oh wow, what was changed?
@@retroreactions.... the instruments are more prominent now, including Wright's magic.
😎👍🎶🎶
Thanks Gerry!
@@retroreactions.... good week-end to you 🙋♂
Likewise... :)
Yup, that went down well, I enjoyed the music and company very much. Even though I have sat through this wonderful piece of art many times, it was great to watch someone who appreciates music experience it for the first time. Thankyou for praising the "middle section", Richard Wright is on brilliant form here, I can't help but follow his cue, like it were a shooting star in a vast void, visiting insignificant moments from time as well as odd dogs wandering in the night, as they savage from turned over dustbins in dark alley ways, but find nothing. Then I am dragged out expertly by the rest of the piece. The fact that the character in this story is referred to as 'you', in my case, that means 'me', so the parable can sometimes lead to the feeling of a tragedy and even sympathy. Ha! Thankyou for your time, it is the greatest gift a mortal can offer.
What an excellent comment/compliment. I literally feel your support from afar.....middle made me lose my mind, in the best way possible! Thank you :)
I love that you key in (booo) so much to Rick's stellar synth work, and that you were moved so much by it in this track. Imagine if he'd been let off the chain, who knows if you would've survived this reaction! lol. I didn't know what to make of Dogs (or indeed the entire Animals album) on first listen, owing to the fact that Dark Side, Division Bell and various and sundry radio hits were all I'd heard up til that point, but slowly over the past few dacades it has climbed that ladder rung by rung, until now it fights with Hey You and Shine On Parts 6-9 as my all-time fav PF masterpiece. As you said, it's so dense with detail that you'll pick out new things every time. AMAZING reaction Brandon, well worth the wait!!
Awesome words! Thanks for inspiring me to do it....funny how I latched onto it pretty much instantly!
@@retroreactions.... You'll see this more and more as you become well-versed - PF is a band that it's very hard to "get" - beyond a surface-level appreciation of their alluring musicality - until one matures into adulthood, and the more one ages, the more relevant they become. You recognized Dogs' glory and power faster than I did because you have the necessary foundation of life experience to map onto it.
:..)
Over the years Animals was a slow burn for me. But it has a place amongst the other great Floyd albums. Pigs is my favorite track. Anyway, another great reaction my friend
Thanks Hamish! Excited for Pigs and Sheep!
wonderful reaction ... now: sheep 🙂
May stay on this album....I was told to go in order...your thoughts?
@@retroreactions.... sure, do pigs :-)
Sweet... oink!
Layer upon layer, upon layer, upon layer, upon layer, is Pink Floyds music.
Actually, there was very little bliss between band members by this time, the "Animals" Album. The friction between Waters and Gilmour had become almost untenable by this time, so much so that Waters wrote the Animals albums on his own.
Oh, the other guys got credit for their own individual contributions. Waters didn't write all the parts himself, but it wasn't like other albums where they would ALL write, and record their parts together, in the studio. Waters virtually came to the band and said,... I'm paraphrasing here,... 'I wrote our new album'.
The Animals album is considered by some, as the beginning of the end of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters.
The power struggle between Gilmour and Waters is legendary, it's listed as the longest Rock & Roll feud in history, there have been many writings on it over the years. Waters quit the band in 1985 assuming, incorrectly, that Pink Floyd was finished, and he was quoted, att saying, Pink Floyd is a "spent force creatively".
Nevertheless Gilmour, Wright and Mason continued on as Pink Floyd, selling out 90,00+ seat venues all over the world for over two decades more, after Waters left. Roger Waters sued to stop them from using the Pink Floyd name, he lost.
In 2005 Pink Floyd and reunited for a few songs at Live 8, it was the first time in 20 years since they played together, it was emotional for the fans. Not so much for Gilmour, and they never played together again.
The video of The "Reunion at Live 8 is on RUclips, I think they perform 3 songs, including Comfortably Numb.
reluctant
Thanks for the band info. I can't believe I haven't watched Live 8 yet..
You should have seen it live!
I have now! In several versions on my own..just keeps getting better and better..
Is good. To get the original experience, you need to meditate on the various pictures included on and inside the album, noting the hidden pictures of the dog, etc., preferably in a non-quotidian state of mind, not of the alcohol type, as that only dulls the senses. A strong espresso con leche, pour example. As good as is dogs, pigs is pretty good too, which makes me sound like a hick saying so. Sheep, however, for me at least, is the real piece de resistance, tour de force, magnum opus, at least of the album. "Ummagumma", one of the older ones, is, for me, the most experimental and profound of their albums. "Several Species". "Narrow Way". "Sisyphus". We earlybirds thought they had gone commercial with Dark Side, while digging nonetheless, while realizing too, that they had been corralled and shrunken. But they showed the world that they could also do popular music, and went on to create the most popular of all.
Wow, you're making me more excited to hear the others off this album. Thanks!
It's actually Roger singing not Dave.
Historical background of the album (Animals):
In 1976, the United Kingdom was swimming in troubled waters. Mired in an unprecedented economic crisis, Anglo-Saxon pride is beaten 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). The In The Flesh tour that followed in 1977 was also famous for the Montreal concert where Waters spit in the face of a spectator, which led him to want to erect a wall between the stage and the audience: the birth of The Wall album.
Wow, thanks for all that great info. Lots of history there. I assume there is no spitting incident footage?
I suggest song "cymbaline" church version from "more" album which might be mediocre as a whole but this particular performance of that hidden gem is dope
Cymbaline is an early fan fav along with Green is the Colour and Nile Song from that album. All three worth looking into, even if they just barely miss the '70's window. Agreed on that church performance, simply amazing.
Are we talking early Floyd?
This is another deep concept album (Like DSOM) that should be listened to as a whole composition...easily Roger Waters at his most bitter and acerbic, with his scathing commentary on life in Britain in the mid '70s. Dogs are the business that prey on the population (Sheep) and are, in turn, both are screwed around by the political class (Pigs). When you get to these two tracks, you will better understand the dynamic that Roger was going for. Ironically, all three tracks are bookended by two parts (Pigs On The Wing I and II), which are diametrically opposed to the darkness in between, beginning and ending the whole thing on an upbeat note.
It says, the bad blood froze and turned to stone, so it’s the dog’s own undoing. You were right with karma all along
As I understand it, This album is where the creative differences between Gilmour and Waters really started getting problematic. This is really Waters’ album when it comes to concept and direction. Then The Wall marked the end of their collaboration. Some fans take sides. I try not too…..although I will say I adore Gilmour’s guitar playing, and I think Waters is a very angry and unhappy soul. Such a presence I would think would be difficult to work with intimately rear after year, no matter how brilliantly creative he might be. I did love some of Waters solo work…..Radio Kaos. It is also interesting to note that, now that Gilmour controls the PF catalogue, I believe Animals is the only album of the major run that has not been remastered. Others no doubt know more about Floyd minutiae than I…..
Yea I need to learn up on the whole ownership history, clearly Roger is legally allowed to perform PF songs still...
There is a recent interview from Nick Mason where he says that they actually all were working together seamlessly when they recorded this. I’ll try to find the link, but as the one and only true link to all of them from the beginning, I trust and believe what he says.
I agree, that this is a pure Roger Waters album. As I mentioned in another comment, for the Wall Roger Waters came up with two ideas, what later became The Wall and what became Roger Waters first solo Album The Pro's and Con's of Hitch Hoking... Then af course The Final Cut is 100% Roger Waters as well. Now I like both Roger Waters' and David Gilmour's take on music so I'm OK
Interesting.... if true, it must have affected the sound of the album somehow for the better...
There was a huge re-release - remixed version of Animals they came out a few months ago that both Gilmour and Roger both signed off on. New album cover, new liner notes and everything. It was a pretty big deal. Of course it didn't happen without some of the usual Roger Waters bitterness that made a few headlines, but at least it did finally come out. And it sounds magnificent!

"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in!" - This is one of those PF moments that carved a new wrinkle in my 18 yo brain the first time I heard it. Roger Waters's world-view may be cynical and dour, but he's not wrong... And I would add, for those who claim their music is depressing, listen closer. There was nearly always at least one ray of hope infused into his lyrics. You may have to wait until the very end of the album, but it's there. He was always trying to impress on the listener that "this may be how the world works, but it doesn't HAVE to be."
Totally agree!! The Wall being a prime example. Not just hope, but understanding.
@@flubblertmhm, 'empathy'. Roger is a walking contradiction - a meglomaniac with a super confrontational personality, and yet one of the most compassionate social activist celebrities one can imagine.
great reaction - any chance for full dark side of the moon react? thanks
Thank you so much! Not sure yet how I will do it but yes I should be doing that full album in the next couple months.... :)
I do know I believe 2 songs off it, Us & Them and Money
@@retroreactions.... thanks man
Here is the "evolution" Brandon spoke of. Much wordier and almost keyed out of Dave's vocal range. SO glad they workshopped it into it's final form! ruclips.net/video/jqULy8xQjZU/видео.html&ab_channel=RastamanVibrations91
"Dragged down by the stone". Isn't this how horrible people got rid of their pets? It was an ancient Roman punishment: thrown into the sea with a millstone around the neck.
How can someone hard digest a Pink Floyd song? Weird…
I've seen Best Guitarist lists ,even in Rolling Stone and David is not in the top 10..............I saw one top 20 .Nope, he is not there . ??????????????
Wow, to err is human......
You cannot find a PF song that is not fantastic.
Will blindly and wholeheartedly agree with that!
