The album is mostly instrumental ambient, only one track has vocals iirc

Will I Dream During The Process?... a bit Yagya

but yea, horrible horrible type

Finally, someone somewhere in the world is aware that Pink Floyd once released an album called Animals. One of my favourites of theirs, along with A Saucerful Of Secrets and Atom Heart Mother. Those records bring back memories of being a kid in the 70s with an older brother who was obsessed with Floyd at the time.

Managed to bag a copy of A Nice Pair in decent nick a couple of years ago (minus the Mr Phang photo) which made me very happy indeed.

A little teaser from it.

Any hopes I had that this wouldn't be shit have just been flushed down the shitter.

sounds like the music for some kind of corporate inspiration/instructional (inspructional?) vid

lol yes.

it reminded me of early 90's BBC interstitial background music.

i half expected a guys voice to comeover the top announcing Pebble Mill at One.

i really don't like Pink Floyd tho (except for Piper)

oh man, holy shit that's bad. sounds like some kinda muzak or just generic 'spiritual' music that would be used in between segments on some vhs tape about worshiping jesus. i liked lots of momentary lapse of reason and parts of the division bell and think some of those albums showed that DG could at least put out stuff with good music on it still (and lots of those tracks are a fuckton better than anything on the final cut which was mostly waters, or the waters solo albums, but that never stopped lots of people from acting like waters was THE brain behind floyd), but what the fuck is THIS. and yeah its only 30 seconds but its 30 seconds they chose to represent the thing. BAD SIGN. and honestly i wouldnt really want that 30 seconds anywhere on a floyd album. i'd rather listen to some syd barrett shit. even his solo albums are prob miles better than this

the trial was easily my fav on the wall. so good. best part of the movie too

go on judge, shit on him!

so many great moments on the album though, besides the singles. i remember as an inebriated kid, the beginning of the track 'is there anybody out there' legit creeping me out a bit, and the 2nd half with the guitar and violin... so bittersweet/beautiful. mother, empty spaces, one of my turns, thin ice... the whole thing is great. there were only maybe a couple tracks i didn't like too much. its crazy to consider how many teen friend groups have made this album part of their soundtrack, since it came out.

as an adult, for me, i can appreciate still that its great for what it is, but it seems a bit overblown. the metaphor of the wall was stretched just a bit. i feel like you can take almost anything and turn it into a metaphor and inflate it into being this huge important element, even ascribing to that object all or most of the metaphorical qualities they gave to the wall. so it seems a bit forced to me now to stretch that one thing out over a double album. i've maybe become a bit anti-symbolism in my old age, i guess. because anything could be said to represent anything else, with a convincing argument, so the whole idea that symbolism is some genius way for artists to communicate... eh. but ultimately i dont really feel like the wall itself is what matters, with the wall. it was just a platform to talk about issues that affected someone

animals, on the other hand, which i used to also really love, the symbolism in that is even more hamfisted so for me it's become somewhat of a caveat if i try to return to that one. and maybe especially with that one, because where was the self criticism which was in the wall? who are these guys, to categorize everyone else into these groups but seemingly exclude themselves? who are they to judge (oh right, artistes), and how do i know roger waters isn't just as much of a despicable cut-throat asshole as all the businessmen he called pigs?

Hmmmm, it seems to me that you missed the fact that Waters refers to himself as a dog on the track Pigs On The Wing.

While the symbolism is hamfisted on Animals, Pigs on the Wing II ends the album with RW basically admitting he's one of the Dogs

Hehe, no problem.

While on the subject of the Animals album, Dogs is a fucking glorious song. One of my favourites.
