Pink Floyd - Animals (1977) - Full Album

Animals (1977) by Pink Floyd is a politically charged concept album that critiques social hierarchy and capitalism. Inspired by George Orwell’s Animal Farm, it categorises people into metaphorical animals—dogs (ruthless businessmen), pigs (corrupt leaders), and sheep (the exploited masses). The album features lengthy, progressive compositions with sharp guitar work, menacing synths, and Roger Waters’ biting lyrics. Standout tracks include “Dogs,” a 17-minute epic with intricate guitar duels, and “Sheep,” which builds into a chaotic rebellion. Darker and more aggressive than Wish You Were Here, Animals remains one of the band’s most cynical yet powerful works.
