jason schifo is correct.To explain it a bit, the sound of the guitar goes into his mouth and then he shapes it by changing the shape of his mouth and it is then sent back through a microphone. I used to have one. It is an other-wordly experience to feel the sound of a distorted guitar in one's mouth, lol. If you haven't checked out any Peter Frampton you should react to "Do You Feel Like We Do". It is a great example of a talkbox. If you could find a live version you could see how it works. Cheers!
Pink Floyd achieved the pinnacle of music. Created 4 masterpiece albums in a row and none of them sounded like the others. Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall... The Wall being a double album with an accompanying incredible movie. No-one has come close to these masterpieces
Most Pink Floyd albums are meant to be listen to as a whole. So you put the album on and listen to it beginning to end. Albums like Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. No bad songs. Just listen straight through.
Picture old Cleveland Stadium, with a crowd of 80,000... During this song, they had a giant pig with glowing red eyes hanging on a cable. As it slowly moved across the stadium, many in the crowd shot bottle rockets at it...otherworldly.
Gotta love any man who got himself banned in America for being communist and the USSR for being anti-communist. Turns out pigs on all sides of the aisle take poorly to having their bullshit pointed out to the 'unworthy' masses...
Timothy Love truly. I personally like piper and saucer but their 70s run is simple top notch. Hell I even like atom heart mother and obscured by clouds. The 70s is PEAK Pink Floyd
RICHIEV333 yea animals is my dad’s personal favorite Floyd album. And it’s understandable, it’s an absolute masterpiece. Definitely up there for me, but it’s hard to pinpoint a favorite when you got like 5 favorites. He even says that animals is his go to favorite but depending on how you’re feeling it could easily interchange with any of their core 70s albums
I love watching Jamel react to Pink Floyd. I am in my late 40's and reintroducing myself to Floyd as Jamel hears them for the first time. Though I loved them as a kid and young adult, I am appreciating them even more, now.
This album was my introduction to headphones only music. I was 15 and recently initiated into the stoner culture. At 55 this still has the same effect on me. My favorite Pink Floyd album by far
Yep, and some killer bass playing right along with the guitar during the solo. Oh, yeah...that's Gilmour on bass as well as guitar. Such an amazing talent!
I saw Pink Floyd when this album came out. They had a giant floating pig with red eyes that flew out over the audience! Of course l was stoned out of my mind!! It was a great show.
Thats amazing. Im a little younger and saw the Division Bell tour and cherish that moment. What I would give to of been there in the 70s.....20 years of my life I would give.
I saw them at the Cleveland Stadium - crazy show. I was 18. Roger Waters was one angry man, hence, the dark lyrics. Great tunes though. There were times when listening to this album that paranoia set in and i had to go doing something else - one of those hair-raising on the arms things - scared the bejesus out of me at the time. 😫🤣
yeh the giant pig it escaped the stadium and landed in my friends parents Field they kept it safe and the next day the band turned up at the door with a few cases of beer as a thank you.
Random note: Bassist Roger Waters plays rhythm guitar on this and guitarist David Gilmour plays lead guitar and the fretless bass, so the bass solos are also all David.
I love listening to Floyd through headphones; all the nuances take you on a journey. They'll never be another band like them. Alternative jazz-rock, with a touch of psychedelic, and all wonderfully orchestrated.
I saw them perform this on tour at Cleveland Stadium. We had second row center in the upper deck. In the beginning they told everyone to be quit, maybe 80,0000 fans, so they could play pink noise. A hiss slowly got louder then a passenger jet buzzed the stadium. I was trippin on mescaline. BEST SHOW EVER
That sound you are wondering about is a 'talk box' that directs the output from the guitar to their mouth. Most famous use of a talk box is by Peter Frampton on Do You Feel Like We Do, but others also used it.
@@notslickgaming6015 Nope. It's a talkbox. It's a speaker with tube attached to it that the player puts in their mouth. Guitar sound goes through the tube and the player shapes their mouth to make sounds and directs it into their vocal mic. An excellent example of Gimour using it can be found in the live video for Keep Talking. ruclips.net/video/J-8a55jeR-A/видео.html
@@notslickgaming6015 The effect produced by talk boxes and vocoders are often conflated by listeners. However, they have radically different mechanisms for achieving the effect. Talk boxes send the carrier signal into the singer's mouth, where it is then modulated by the singer themselves. On the other hand, vocoders process both the carrier and the modulator signal integrally, producing the output as a separate electric signal. In addition, they are also more common in different genres: a talk box is often found in rock music due to its typical pairing with a guitar, whereas vocoders are almost always paired with synthesizers, and as such, are ubiquitous in electronic music.
I have been listening to this tune for 30 years and never looked up the lyrics - realized now I've been singing along using the wrong words all these years, haha!
Bobby Scarfo Gotta agree. It wasn’t always my #1, but it’s grown over the years and is now the one I can listen to over and over and it just gets better. Gilmour’s masterpiece. WYWH is mainly Rick Wright’s spotlight album, but Dave’s guitars on Animals are just insane. So many incredible tones and screaming licks!
The "Animals" LP always has been my favorite from the time it was released. This album got me through a lot of late night cramming for exams back in college! I do remember "Pigs" was the tune that was most played on the album rock stations. But "Dogs" always has been my favorite track musically. Pigs is a very very close #2 for me.
I agree Bobby. I’ve spent a lot of time with Meddle and Dark Side and The Wall and Obscured and Wish and Atom Heart Mother and.....this album and Dark Side always wind up battling for my top spot. As I get older, this one just seems more important
My favorite album they ever released, bar none. By the way, during an interview last year Roger Waters announced there is soon to be a 5.1 Surround Sound Remix of Animals. If it sounds this incredible now, just think what it will be like then; I predict a rift in Time&Space will open up and instantaneously propel earth into the next dimension.
I can see my friends and I laying down in my friends room, with the lights out, black lights on, lava lamps on, and the room full of smoke, going on the PF ride...Awww, Good Times, Good Times..Thankyou Jamal for giving me a Flashback Saturday...😎
Oh yeah ... black light, Peter Max posters of spaceships that look like houseflies, passing the bong and sipping a cocktail, all while listening to PF and LZ on 9.0 ... yes indeed, wonderful times.
Such a great album that so many have either forgotten or never heard. Should have gotten more notoriety, but due to the long tracks it didn’t receive airtime or proper reviews from critics. Just an amazing piece of art.
Streaming services ended buying CDs but I still find myself replacing pink floyd albums every few years ..and the moment my son became a teenage they all seemed to disappear into his car .(.made me proud ) and I got an all new set for myself..Haha
We use to have a saying Back In The Day most of the time we were listening to Pink Floyd. Take a Trip and never leave the farm. And you can still take that trip just listen woo.
I saw this tour at Cleveland stadium with 80,000 friends. During this song, a large pig with glowing red eyes slowly glided on a cable across the stadium above the crowd. It was near the 4th of July, and a lot of people had bottle rockets, which they shot at the pig...the entire show was hallucinogenic...the best concert I ever attended.
Yes sir! Pink Floyd is the real deal. So glad that you are getting to experience this stuff in your life. It really is, life changing stuff. Can't wait to see more! Great reaction as always...
When he sings about Whitehouse. He's not talking about the USA even though it's applicable. He's singing about Mary Whitehouse. A British citizen who talked out against liberalism on TV.
@@johncampbell756 .....You've probably already seen THIS ( Roger in Mexico City 2016....before 300,000 fans ).spreading the message....LOL ruclips.net/video/QWLBtMz5OuY/видео.html
Whitehouse would be best described as a staunch social conservative, if she'd had her way the media would have been censored to hell so forget about watching a movie or tv series were a woman showed so much as an ankle or anyone used a swear word or the tiniest bit of violence was on show so no Tarantino movies, saying that 99.9% of movies and tv would be banned today using Whitehouse's puritanical ideology.
People who haven't experienced it will think I'm exaggerating, but Floyd+LSD is a transcendent experience. Headphones in a dark room with one of their albums on repeat and it's a full on out of body experience. Life is weird...
Floyd and a few other Physcadelic bands started the first Raves and were innovators in stage shows for lighting, sound, and overall experience and totally agree with the Acid + Floyd aspect in multiple ways and you can watch the Wall movie at least 100 times Tripping sober or otherwise and find something different every time
I bought this 8 trach when it came out, I think in 1977. It's just as relevant today as it was then! It's my second favorite PF album after DSOTM. Things never change!
Damn, I need to get that album out and listen to it in it's entirety again, preferably in a darkened room with no interruption. And you're right... "They're God damn geniuses."
If there’s one word I can use to describe this song, it’s anger-and not the kind based off of fear, but rather the kind based off of almost pure disgust, resentment, and contempt. This is especially expressed in the overall music, the lyrics, the vocal delivery, and the final guitar solo, the last of which is one of the most blistering, searing, bitter, and vindictive ever recorded. The entire song itself is one of the most perfect distillations of (not-so) silent anger and contempt that I have ever heard in any song from any band, and it does so in a far superior and more effective manner than any punk rock band ever could. And I absolutely love Pink Floyd for making it, even though I don’t entirely agree with the lyrical content of it (which is the song’s only weakness for me, as with the two other main songs on the album, but it’s actually so small and not significant enough that at the end of the day, it’s not enough to significantly or meaningfully reduce the strength of any of them).
Had to hitchhike to Ohio to see this show. They had huge blow up animals floating in the air and the light show was crazy! Just about everyone was tripping which just intensified everything. They did the whole Animals album. Holy shit. I can still close my eyes and feel the experience!
Hello from Cody Wyoming! I saw them in Denver and you're exactly right they have the big blowup animals floating in the air it was crazy to me as well... but completely awesome😊
Yes, Pink Floyd is a unique band. It does not have the characteristics of fashionable or not fashionable. This is the music of all generations. Very high quality and professional. I am glad that she continues to win the hearts of young people.
Everyone out there, check out Roger Waters' performances of this in 2016. The stage, the performance and the relevance to modern times are all (still) incredible--not to mention the climax. The Mexico City pro job is amazing--especially considering the audience. There's also a good center smart phone video from Desert Trip that shows the whole stage and the climax the way it should be seen.
You may or may not like Roger's politics, but the guy has got to be ranked right at the top of songwriters in the rock a d roll era. He's just written too many great songs.
erestube I saw him play it live in Portland. It was so huge and intense and there was an energy in the room that was almost like electricity was going to zap out of it. I was absolutely in awe. The Mexico video captures the intensity on an even greater level. Truth!
@Tobyy His mother and father were both members of the communist party. Given that his father was killed in WW2 when he was 5 months old, that meant his mother was his biggest [political] influence. Since his his mother didn't leave the communist party until the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union, would it be reasonable to assume she was an ardent supporter of Stalinism? (Stalin died in 1953, yet she stayed in the party). Are Roger's politics any surprise?
Pink Floyd. You will never see the likes of them again. The music that they played at the time and on the equipment that they played it on will never be duplicated. Unequaled talent.
Great to see a genuine reaction rather than a contrived one that seems to be the order of the day on many reaction videos. Keep it going. There is so much wonderful music to explore.
I fell in love with Floyd when they started back 50+ years ago. In the late 60's and early 70's they were not alone since prog rock was just getting started, but they were the best. I am privileged to have grown up when I did.
As others have pointed out, when Roger sings about Mary, he's referring to Mary Whitehouse, the British contemporary social critic and opposer of social liberalism and fun in 70's and 80's Britain (PORN!!!). And I do like the "pig trumpet". It's like "snout blues" or something.
My friend, I have news for you; when you ain't seen NOTHING yet! I love watching you discover this band.Keep going. When you said these guys are geniuses you were right, but you have yet to see how deep they can go. Think about this; This was created decades ago and could not be more relevant than it is right now.
Animals is so often overlooked but it’s truly a masterpiece. The lyrics, the music, everything about it is amazing. People talk about Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall all the time but Animals is superior in quality and workmanship in my opinion
I was fortunate to see this concert tour on my 17th birthday in Phoenix Arizona in 1978. That giant freaking pig blew my mind. Man the air was dank at that show!
No it isn't. It's about the people (pigs) in power who profit off of being in power. Stop trying to make it revolve around your own politics. It flows both ways. Both sides are guilty btw...
Thanks for your reaction. I love how you are so smart about listening to the lyrics. Please don’t ever change your style of listening. Love you brother.
Growing up listening to my parent's lps, this was my favorite album. An old silver-face Pioneer system and a solid pair of over-the-ear headphones - This album was (and IS) amazing! Songs are still relevant.
I'm 60, I play guitar and keyboards. I've have the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd live three times, Roger Waters three times and David Gilmour four times when on solo tours. (I've seen 500 live shows) Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever!
Without a doubt you are my favorite reactionist, if that’s a word? Keep up with the Floyd reactions you have a love for Floyd and your reactions are perfect 👌🏽
The best way to appreciate Floyd is to start at side one of each album, and listen to it in it's entirety. Animals is an outstanding piece of art, using the title critter as the lead vocalist.
From the time this album came out in 1978, when I was 14 years old, until 2019, I've easily ( and I'm not kidding here), have very easily listened to Pink Floyd Animals well over 1,500 times. It never gets old or boring or irrelevant. I listen to it in full at least once a week. Everyday when I was a kid. I like the reaction of a young man that gets and truly likes us old folks' music. I'm telling you, Roger Waters and David Gilmour are stone-cold fucking genius. They weren't pissing about when they made this album 42 years ago. It's always and easily been not only my favorite Floyd album, but I think it's the best rock album of all time. Even better than "Dark Side of The Moon", if that's even possible; but you can hear here that it surely is. ENJOY!>PRESS RE-PLAY.
This was written in 1977, and the message it sends is still true today. Some things never change.
They were DEFINITELY way ahead of their times back in the 70's...
they had a head start in the 60s....Sid!
Wow. It's really crazy to think how unique they were.
I really love David Gilmour's solo's. He doesn't have to shred, he gets every emotion out of that guitar!
...'Dogs' solo es bueno!
Carey M spot on. He truly makes the listener feel every emotion that he feels. Every one of his solos put me in the moment he was feeling.
In firth of a fifth by genesis Steve Hackett does that too. He doesn’t go fast but gets all the emotions out of his guitar
Certainly one of the most underrated players in rock history. Truly a maestro
Not just any emotions... pig emotions! I find myself oinking along to the guitar parts....
“...The hell was that?!” is my single favorite moment from any of your reactions!
Quite possibly the best moment in reaction history. Definitely, meme worthy. Destined for the meme hall of fame.
David Gilmour using a device called a talk box

They brought in some pigs and tortured it to get that sound.
I'm kidding
There's no chronology to Pink Floyd. I picked up Animals way before their other work. They are timeless. It's all good.
I heard division bell first, such a great album.. as much as I love all the other albums.. Division Bell is perfection
The only thing that matters is understanding Roger Waters is Pink Floyd and 73-79 was the absolute best they ever were and would ever be.

I saw this tour at Cleveland stadium with 80,000 friends. During this song, a large pig with glowing red eyes slowly glided on a cable across the stadium above the crowd. It was near the 4th of July, and a lot of people had bottle rockets, which they shot at the pig...the entire show was hallucinogenic...the best concert I ever attended.
Yes sir! Pink Floyd is the real deal. So glad that you are getting to experience this stuff in your life. It really is, life changing stuff. Can't wait to see more! Great reaction as always...
When he sings about Whitehouse. He's not talking about the USA even though it's applicable.
He's singing about
Mary Whitehouse. A British citizen who talked out against liberalism on TV.
Make no mistake, they were calling her out for her bull(pig?) shit.
Roger pissed some people off a couple of years ago on his US tour. When he played this, he had "FUCK TRUMP" up on the screens.
@@johncampbell756 The wall tour, during Mother "should i trust the government" No fucking way splashed across the wall.
@@johncampbell756 .....You've probably already seen THIS ( Roger in Mexico City 2016....before 300,000 fans ).spreading the message....LOL ruclips.net/video/QWLBtMz5OuY/видео.html
Whitehouse would be best described as a staunch social conservative, if she'd had her way the media would have been censored to hell so forget about watching a movie or tv series were a woman showed so much as an ankle or anyone used a swear word or the tiniest bit of violence was on show so no Tarantino movies, saying that 99.9% of movies and tv would be banned today using Whitehouse's puritanical ideology.
They used a voice box in this tune to mimic the pig sounds.
I think it's called a "talk box."
First time I heard this album I was on lsd and painting on a large canvas... It was a wonderful experience
People who haven't experienced it will think I'm exaggerating, but Floyd+LSD is a transcendent experience. Headphones in a dark room with one of their albums on repeat and it's a full on out of body experience. Life is weird...
Floyd and a few other Physcadelic bands started the first Raves and were innovators in stage shows for lighting, sound, and overall experience and totally agree with the Acid + Floyd aspect in multiple ways and you can watch the Wall movie at least 100 times Tripping sober or otherwise and find something different every time
I was on lsd at the board walk during a grunion run in Cali , florescent fish , actually wash up on shore
I bought this 8 trach when it came out, I think in 1977. It's just as relevant today as it was then! It's my second favorite PF album after DSOTM. Things never change!
60`S AN 70`S RULED MUSIC...TO THIS DAY...
Amen
Cmon man Brittney Spears is pretty good 🤢🤮😂
Amen...
My favorite song on this album I literally wore it out from playing it over and over for a month when it was released.
Welcome to the incredible guitar playing and ingenuity of Mr David Gilmour!!
Yes sir!
When god was handing out talent, David Gilmore got most of it.
This was written and sung by Roger Waters
Gilmour, please.
What pisses me off is that he's #3 on "A" list of greatest guitarist. He should be fuckin #1.
@@melburnett That's subjective. What criteria are you using to opine that?
Joey Ledford ability to speaks his guitar
One of my favorite Floyd Songs
Damn, I need to get that album out and listen to it in it's entirety again, preferably in a darkened room with no interruption. And you're right... "They're God damn geniuses."
If there’s one word I can use to describe this song, it’s anger-and not the kind based off of fear, but rather the kind based off of almost pure disgust, resentment, and contempt. This is especially expressed in the overall music, the lyrics, the vocal delivery, and the final guitar solo, the last of which is one of the most blistering, searing, bitter, and vindictive ever recorded.
The entire song itself is one of the most perfect distillations of (not-so) silent anger and contempt that I have ever heard in any song from any band, and it does so in a far superior and more effective manner than any punk rock band ever could.
And I absolutely love Pink Floyd for making it, even though I don’t entirely agree with the lyrical content of it (which is the song’s only weakness for me, as with the two other main songs on the album, but it’s actually so small and not significant enough that at the end of the day, it’s not enough to significantly or meaningfully reduce the strength of any of them).
Agreed. ... a greed.
My favorite prog-rock diss track.
@Ricky Spanish The were plenty of other psychedelic and prog rock bands out there, sheesh!!
@Ricky Spanish wut?
When I first heard this album, I thought I understood the lyrics. I'm much older now and I understand them differently through the lense of time.
Time
Thank god I’m not the only one....thanks
and that will only continue to be true
I'm gonna tell jamal that the song is about mary whitehouse - a british woman who was against bad lyrics in music and they were attacking her
mrdnarna Yeah, I thought it was about American presidents until just few years ago until I found out who Mary Whitehouse was.
All pink floyd songs have deep meanings and animals is one of their angry and brilliant albums
Had to hitchhike to Ohio to see this show. They had huge blow up animals floating in the air and the light show was crazy! Just about everyone was tripping which just intensified everything. They did the whole Animals album. Holy shit. I can still close my eyes and feel the experience!
My favorite concert
Hello from Cody Wyoming! I saw them in Denver and you're exactly right they have the big blowup animals floating in the air it was crazy to me as well... but completely awesome😊
u hit the nail right on the head, bro! these guys were goddamn geniuses! amen!
if Orwell's political satire book Animal Farm had a literally interpreted soundtrack. Love your energy Jamel.
Listen to the entire albums! Each one has a theme! The songs in and of themselves are great, but an entire album is a true experience!
Yes, Pink Floyd is a unique band. It does not have the characteristics of fashionable or not fashionable. This is the music of all generations. Very high quality and professional. I am glad that she continues to win the hearts of young people.
Everyone out there, check out Roger Waters' performances of this in 2016. The stage, the performance and the relevance to modern times are all (still) incredible--not to mention the climax. The Mexico City pro job is amazing--especially considering the audience. There's also a good center smart phone video from Desert Trip that shows the whole stage and the climax the way it should be seen.

You may or may not like Roger's politics, but the guy has got to be ranked right at the top of songwriters in the rock a d roll era. He's just written too many great songs.
erestube I saw him play it live in Portland. It was so huge and intense and there was an energy in the room that was almost like electricity was going to zap out of it. I was absolutely in awe. The Mexico video captures the intensity on an even greater level. Truth!
@Tobyy
His mother and father were both members of the communist party. Given that his father was killed in WW2 when he was 5 months old, that meant his mother was his biggest [political] influence. Since his his mother didn't leave the communist party until the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union, would it be reasonable to assume she was an ardent supporter of Stalinism? (Stalin died in 1953, yet she stayed in the party). Are Roger's politics any surprise?
The "haunting" sound of the synthesizer parts, are what first attracted me to this song.
Dude, that song is absolutely EPIC! And Gilmore on the talk box is genius!
Pink Floyd. You will never see the likes of them again. The music that they played at the time and on the equipment that they played it on will never be duplicated. Unequaled talent.
My favorite from this album. Masterpiece.
Great to see a genuine reaction rather than a contrived one that seems to be the order of the day on many reaction videos. Keep it going. There is so much wonderful music to explore.
I fell in love with Floyd when they started back 50+ years ago.
In the late 60's and early 70's they were not alone since prog rock was just getting started, but they were the best.
I am privileged to have grown up when I did.
I absolutely ADORE your reactions... You truly feel the music, the lyrics and all the energy it bestows upon it's audience. Thank you.
As others have pointed out, when Roger sings about Mary, he's referring to Mary Whitehouse, the British contemporary social critic and opposer of social liberalism
and fun in 70's and 80's Britain (PORN!!!). And I do like the "pig trumpet". It's like "snout blues" or something.
last "State of the Union" I turned off audio and looped this... epic.
It's called a talk box. You'll develop after a few listens of this album Jamal
It’s just simply a musical and lyrical masterpiece. Probably the most underrated song of all time.
Pink Floyd is simply the BEST....
My friend, I have news for you; when you ain't seen NOTHING yet!
I love watching you discover this band.Keep going. When you said these guys are geniuses you were right, but you have yet to see how deep they can go.
Think about this; This was created decades ago and could not be more relevant than it is right now.
Animals is so often overlooked but it’s truly a masterpiece. The lyrics, the music, everything about it is amazing. People talk about Dark Side Of The Moon or The Wall all the time but Animals is superior in quality and workmanship in my opinion
I was fortunate to see this concert tour on my 17th birthday in Phoenix Arizona in 1978. That giant freaking pig blew my mind. Man the air was dank at that show!
“More cowbell!”
I believe it's a wood block.
A masterpiece about the evils of the 1%.
Yes, and also a little about all of us.
Sorry, but..
#Sanders2020
Not sorry, but sorry for bringing up politics.
1% = 76 million people.
No it isn't. It's about the people (pigs) in power who profit off of being in power. Stop trying to make it revolve around your own politics. It flows both ways. Both sides are guilty btw...
@@danbardos3498 Are you talking to me?
Thanks for your reaction. I love how you are so smart about listening to the lyrics. Please don’t ever change your style of listening. Love you brother.
Watching you listen to them brings me back to my first time hearing them and I get to relive the experience :)
The more you listen to it the more infectious it becomes. One of my favorite PF songs (and album).. Simply genius.
Animals is a MASTERPIECE and indeed they are geniuses....
Growing up listening to my parent's lps, this was my favorite album. An old silver-face Pioneer system and a solid pair of over-the-ear headphones - This album was (and IS) amazing!
Songs are still relevant.
I'm 60, I play guitar and keyboards. I've have the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd live three times, Roger Waters three times and David Gilmour four times when on solo tours. (I've seen 500 live shows) Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever!
Animals is such a great album!
Without a doubt you are my favorite reactionist, if that’s a word? Keep up with the Floyd reactions you have a love for Floyd and your reactions are perfect 👌🏽
Thanks Brotha🙌🏾
The best way to appreciate Floyd is to start at side one of each album, and listen to it in it's entirety. Animals is an outstanding piece of art, using the title critter as the lead vocalist.
Hands down the best Floyd album. Dark Side and Wish You Were Here are close but this is the best. Just incredible music and writing. Timeless band.
Love watching you listen to Floyd and Zep. This Album is so good. I like the beginning of Sheep...
From the time this album came out in 1978, when I was 14 years old, until 2019, I've easily ( and I'm not kidding here), have very easily listened to Pink Floyd Animals well over 1,500 times. It never gets old or boring or irrelevant. I listen to it in full at least once a week. Everyday when I was a kid. I like the reaction of a young man that gets and truly likes us old folks' music. I'm telling you, Roger Waters and David Gilmour are stone-cold fucking genius. They weren't pissing about when they made this album 42 years ago. It's always and easily been not only my favorite Floyd album, but I think it's the best rock album of all time. Even better than "Dark Side of The Moon", if that's even possible; but you can hear here that it surely is. ENJOY!>PRESS RE-PLAY.
Respect.
This LP always SMOKED! And it blew The Wall away IMO.
Your reactions are just the best. The facial expressions extreme. So immediate! Fabulous! #Jamel_AKA_Jamal
That solo at the end, it always felt like Gilmour's most angry solo to me. And Waters baseline during that solo. Absolutely love it.
The bass is also Gilmour, he pretty much played almost all bass on Animals.
roger only played bass in dogs
