This image released by Sony Legacy Recordings shows “Animals,” by Pink Floyd, a 2018 remix of the band’s 1977 release. Nothing is easy when it comes to Pink Floyd and its legacy, which explains why the 2018 remix of the band’s 1977 release “Animals” is just now seeing the light of day. Lead guitarist David Gilmour wouldn’t sign off on the liner notes, according to Floyd songwriter and co-lead singer Roger Waters, who agreed to letting the remix out without any notes. So fans are left with the music, now in 5.1 surround sound for the first time, a newly imagined cover, a 32-page booklet with previously unreleased photos, but none of the backstory. There are also no bonus tracks or previously unreleased songs.
“Animals” is a concept record much like its predecessor “Wish You Were Here” and “The Wall,” which would be released two years later. Taking its inspiration loosely from George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” the record assigns animals to different types of people: pigs, sheep and dogs. The three main songs all run at 10-plus minutes, bookended by two slightly different versions of “Pigs on the Wing” clocking in at around 1:30.“Animals” is a dark and brooding critique of capitalism and greed, making it perhaps among the least accessible of Floyd releases.
I'll listen to it when Mr Waters has nothing further to do with the band.
There’s probably only 10 or so rock masterpiece albums (imo). Pink Floyd has two, Dark Side and Animals.
This write-up doesn't actually review the work at all. It's a press release
My favorite album
