I picked up the Pink Floyd ablum Animals. What an amazing album. Nobody makes that kind of music anymore. The idea of a concept album is essentially dead, its too bad.
From what I've read about it and what I've interpreted I think this album compares various animals (Dogs, Pigs and Sheep) to different human behaviors in society. The dogs are greedy and money-centred, the Pigs are self-centred, ignorant and arrogant people who over indulge in society, finally the Sheep are the ignorant, passive and uninterested followers.
Yet another masterpiece to add to my Floyd collection.
Floyd rocks. I highly recommend the David Gilmor DVD where he appears at Royal Festival Hall in 2002. He starts out by himself on an acoustic guitar playing Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Just trust me go and get it and then let yourself be blown away.
Yeah I a page for that DVD. I think it was on pinkfloyd.co.uk somewhere. It looked really cool.
Shine on You Crazy Diamond is an amazing song.
