pink floyd - animals

description
released in 1977, animals is a concept album by pink floyd that delves into themes of social and political critique. inspired by george orwell's animal farm, the album uses animals as metaphors to represent different classes in society. with its progressive rock style, animals is darker and more abrasive than some of the band's earlier work, focusing on complex, lengthy compositions and intense lyrics.

tracks like "dogs," "pigs (three different ones)," and "sheep" explore the nature of power, greed, and control, with the band's signature sound combining deep philosophical commentary with intricate instrumentation. animals marks a pivotal moment in pink floyd's evolution, blending rock, experimental soundscapes, and biting social commentary into a cohesive and thought-provoking work. the album's stark, minimalist production contrasts with the grandeur of its themes, making it one of the most ambitious and polarizing albums in their catalog.
