I'm 52 and a lifelong Floyd fanatic. Animals is my favourite album. This is the best reaction video I've seen and I've watched a few. Love seeing you enjoy something I first heard 40 years ago. You reminded me of myself hearing it for the first time. There never has and never will be a band to touch Floyd. Thanks for the vid. Keep up the great work.
nice to see young people learning about music like they've never heard b4.. animals is top 5 albums I'd have on a desert island.. you should listen to moving pictures by rush.. classic
@@execatty I would probably go for Grace Under Pressure, myself. But yes, Animals , Rush, Broadsword and the Beast by Jethro Tull, 90125 by Yes and Infected by The The would probably be my 5.
I am 52 as well. Remember, when my sister brought this album home, I looked at the pictures and was intrigued by the images. It was sitting in the pile with my Disney’s Peter and the Wolf and other childhood albums, the moment I drop the needle on the record, felt like childhood’s end, didn’t comprehend what I was listening to all I knew is that it was fucking magnificent ,to this day and it still and always will be my favorite piece of music and now my sister passed it means more to me than ever before their music has always had a huge emotional affect on me, but with the memory of my sister lingering in every note, I have to listen to it alone, because I cannot contain my tears..
Sir I remember putting the needle on the Album. An hearing the first notes... This album is relevant it never goes outta fashion.. it pertains to now.. Seeing music thru someone else's eyes is just beautiful. Seeing the words an music click... ✌🏼💗😊
Definitely some of David’s filthiest guitar work on this album. Such a sense of urgency and rawness. Just incredible. Plays the bass too, and quite impressively, on tracks 3 and 4.
So glad to see this reacted to as required - front to back - bravo!!! What an epic commentary on life in '70s Britain - lyrically, this is Roger at his most bitter, yet best. Pink Floyd don't simply plug into amps - they plug directly into your mind and soul.
He didn't merely react to the album, which would be admirable enough. This dude went into Animal Farm! Above and beyond and he really seems to get the music too. Incredible!
The lyrics and filthy guitar work on "Dogs" is insanity. The way the vocals move in and out while the drums pop in and out is just as amazing. Dogs is my favorite song on the Animals album. Everything about it is perfect.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man All alone and dying of cancer
@@DJWESG1 ooh, I don’t know. I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. I’m pretty sure it’s “shafts.” Edit: no I’m not pretty sure. I’m absolutely sure. It’s “shafts.”
One of my favourite albums of all time, one I have listened to many times. I was 9 on release and listened to it as a young teen years later. It is a masterpiece
I'm 73 and have been a PF fan since Saucer Full of Secrets back in the 60's. Animals has been in a flip flopping race between Animals and DSOTM as my favorite. Somehow Animals wins out most times as my all time favorite PF album. I love that you do the WHOLE ALBUM as it was intended and all PF music was meant to be listened to. THERE ARE NO PF SONGS!! There is only PF EXPERIENCE. Each album is like a piece of art meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Keep up your reviews of such groups that did CONCEPT ALBUMS. PF, Moody Blues and many other bands in that era totally disregarded AM radio demands and never sold out to the 3:00 to 4:00 minute demands of commercial radio and stayed true to their art. Though tunes like Money became AM hits it didn't matter and that's why you are so impressed as with many other reactors today 60 years later that not only did their music matter back then it matters NOW!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole and as always. Entire Album, head phones and fire one up, turn out the lights lay back and enjoy!!
Dude. It is a delight to see you jam out to this masterpiece. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album. Intentially meant to be impossible to put on the radio, Dave Gilmour and Richard Wright absolutely murder on this album (and Roger Waters and Nick Mason are also fucking fantastic too). The lyrics are dark and real as fuck, and YOU KNOW ITS ALL TRUE. you know pigs, sheep,. dogs and the whole thing. It hits like a sledgehammer right into the head. also, loving to see you getting into GIlmour's guitar work. He is able to say with a single note what other guitarists might try to say in a hundred, and they usually still fail. Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarist, and this album is his finest work, in my honest opinion.
David Gilmour also played all the Bass on this album. Roger is credited with Vocals and acoustic guitar. Waters as he did for many of their albums came up with the album concept that ties the songs together. Richard Wright's great synth lead playing is epic on this record
I don't know how anybody can listen to this album and not break out in goosebumps! David Gilmore is a unique guitar sound that can't be replicated. Such a great band
Depends on how you throw your weight. If you do it with the intention to spread Peace and Love then it is never too late and you are never too old. That is one of the reasons that this music here is still current now. Peace.
When Pink Floyd toured this album, (and even afterward) they used to fly a HUGE pig around the stadium! The younger generations have missed so many great bands from the boomer generation. I am sooo happy to see ya'll enjoying the music that I grew up on!
Imagine those of us who are a little older and got to see this done live by Pink Floyd in 1977!! I saw this at the madhouse on McDowell which is where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" took a short break and all of "Wish You Were Here" and then they came out and played half of "Dark Side of the Moon" for the encore!! One of four Pink Floyd concerts I've seen in my life and this one was probably the best with Roger Waters, Gilmore, Richard Wright and Nick Mason and Snowy White a second guitarist, all with the group and they were in their Prime!! Pink Floyd is probably the only group when my wife and I drove home we couldn't speak because we were speechless after those Floyd concerts. Probably Zeppelin and AC/DC too but that Floyd concert was beyond description! I saw at least a dozen people being carried out of that concert physically because they just could not take the intensity of the atmosphere and the music and everything going on!! I'll never forget!!
I was at the 2nd show during that tour at Phillys Spectrum when Roger became ill and couldn't come back for the encores. "Snowy" White took over playing the bass. What happened backstage that night was the foundation of the song, "Comfortably Numb" that would be on their next album, "The Wall."
This is the tour I saw them on. The show was great too. With the balloon animals and the pig that flew around the concert hall. And if I'm not mistaken, it was the same pig that's on the album cover.
With a couple of albums under your belt, I think most would agree that you now qualify to be a Floydian. I have been one for 50 years and I wholeheartedly welcome you to the world of Floyd. Continue on my fellow Floydian and prepare for more enlightening journeys. You will forever be changed and better for it. Thank you for a great reaction!! The door is now open.
You are absolutely right @robertwatson,he has become one of us! I have but one suggestion,listen to all their albums with headphones on and listen to each album from beginning to end and listen to them more than several times in a row,every time you listen you’ll hear sounds you hadn’t heard before. This is a band that was like no other band,before or after their splits up.
Don't worry too much about associating the songs with "Animal Farm". The album is only VERY loosely based on it, only as far as picking certain animal species as metaphors. One crucial difference is that Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a satire of the Russian Revolution and communism, while Pink Floyd's "Animals" is a bitter vision of its polar opposite, capitalism, and more specifically about the recording industry, about which Roger Waters was particularly resentful and embittered at the time. The pigs are those who hold the strings of everything, billionaires and politicians. Dogs are executives who serve them and think they're great, until they discover that they've just been used by the pigs, and they herd the mass of sheep (just about everyone else). A sad irony is what happened to that building on the record cover, the Battersea Power Station, a coal-fired electric power plant in the Eastern part of London. At the time the album was made, the plant had been decommissioned and was derelict, and the surrounding neighborhood was totally blighted. Now it's been renovated into a flashy, expensive shopping mall with designer brands for the dogs, to which the sheep also flock happily when they can, and the neighborhood has been gentrified and is now a trendy place. The pigs won.
Pigs is easily one of my top 20 all time favorite songs. I love that you particularly appreciated the disses. “You radiate cold shafts of broken glass!” Is my favorite.
I first heard this when it came out in '77 and I was 15yrs old. Glad to see that young people like you many generations later are getting the same kick as I did from music excellence!
That was a blast. I love this album. It has aged well. Great to see your positive reaction to an underrated gem. Including the Animal Farm summary at the beginning was a perfect touch.
Great album ! Back in 77 we listened to this with in my car with speakers in the back and front. The sound would travel around to each speaker way cooler than headphones. You can get the same effect with surround sound 5 speakers and a subwoofer.
Spot on reaction. "Obscured by clouds" a criminally underlooked classic album should (imo) be pencilled in for your enjoyment. You wont be disappointed. Keep em coming tho. Its a buzz seeing others get the buzz. Cheers
People argue about which is their most classic and impactful album. Dark Side, Wish You were Here, The Wall. For me it’s always been Animals. I actually think the bookend songs (Pigs on the Wing), detract from the impact of those three main songs. Those three songs are as good as it gets. And yes, keep listening my man. I’ve listened to these songs most of my life. Not only do they not get old, it always sounds fresh and new. I am always amazed and taken aback to here something I’d never heard before, or some nugget of wisdom that I didn’t quite get when I was younger. Every note, every word, is just complete perfection 😊
I saw the "Animals" tour at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1977. We were on 3rd base. When the giant pig exploded we could feel the heat and concussion. Amazing show!
Watching Lil J Listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time is like reliving the day I heard it for the first time, the day it came out. I am totally exhausted. It literally took my breath away - again. I had forgotten how much this album had affected my life! Thank you so much for reminding me how much Pink Floyd has meant to me my whole life, this album came out over 50 years ago and I remember it like was yesterday, which is pretty hard to do considering it was in the 70s! 😂
Love. Respect. Totally Appreciate your personal Love of this music artistry. Peace man. I am now 61 years old. I grew up with this music. Bought the album when it was released and only the Universe knows how many times I have listened to it. Never gets old in my opinion. Very deep and philosophical and produced by True Artists.
Animals is not a musical version of the novel Animals by George Orwell. It only takes the characters like pigs, dogs and sheep from it. See Wikipedia for everything on Pink Floyd’s Animals album. Animals is a very underrated PF album. I think it’s one of their best.
As I watch you listen to the story of Animal Farm, my feelings of despair increase. The idea that folks of your generation are entirely unfamiliar with a book that was required reading when I was in public school is disturbing. But even more disturbing is your apparent lack of recognition that the story of Animal Farm echoes the recent history of humanity, some of which is presently replaying itself. Don't be a sheep. Don't be a victim of propaganda, Don't be a victim of ignorance. Take notice of history, and don't let others rewrite it.
Great to see your reaction to this. Over time Animals has become my favourite Floyd album, Gilmour's guitar playing is totally insane. Those solos in Dogs give me goosebumps every time 😃
Animal Farm is a great book and it’s actually a pretty quick read. Orwell also wrote “1984”. Before he became an author, Orwell worked in MI5 (England’s version of the C.I.A.)
Only you could deliver this as excellent as it is with your personal character & insight. I am 67. I was in the US Submarine service when this came out. My life & mind's eye are filled with visions & memories linked to every second of every song from Echoes to the Wall. Unmatched by any other group of musicians. Your appreciation is enjoyable. Now get out there & take the music with you & see what happens.
Forgive me for not saying anything useful, but I just had to comment again for the algorithm because I loved this reaction so much. Not everyone gets how awesome this album is for me. This was perfect. I really appreciate your great reaction. Thank you sir!
This album came out when I was fifteen and my parents couldn’t understand but I was hooked. Great album and yea got to see them once and it was an amazing concert. 🤘🏻blaze on brother
Their best album in my opinion. I'm 57 and my oldest brother (RIP Jeff) used to play this all the time in his room down the hall. Got introduced to a lot of great bands via older brothers. This album is amongst many and one of my favorites by far. Did I hear the dog? Have been for decades now. Great reaction....thank you.
I'm so glad you listen to entire albums vs. just one song. I love watching you enjoy the music of my youth. I'm still listening to it, there's nothing like it.
Excellent you watched the Animal Farm explanation first. It's a very important book, and although everyone talks about 1984, this book should be required reading for students. Great album and this was awesome. Your reaction was really fantastic to a favorite album of mine
A side note, the term 'sheeple' is still used and comes out of what sheep represent here and in Animal Farm. A person following the crowd mindlessly. Being naive. I love the transitions Pink Floyd accomplishes, on Sheep there's great ones. Pigs on the wing is like the expression when pigs fly. Used to mean something unlikely happening. It gives the whole thing a message of hope, like change can happen. The impossible is possible.
masterpiece , another one whole way through, this for me was pink floyds most commercial listening album, i mean for the layman who doesnt know anything about pf I mean, easy listening album, obviously the other one is momentary lapse of reason, but for me wish you were here album is number one, darkside of the moon 2nd, 3rd is about 4 pink floyd albums equally as good. this album is underrated though too. With roger waters brain and davids paying ability and voice unstoppable force
“Dark Side of the Moon”, is in it’s own category. “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall”, in that order. Of course that’s only one 64 year old man’s opinion. In the 70s and 80s I’ve seen all those albums in concert.
Man i can't even describe how lucky you are.. I'm just 18 and i've gone to nick mason's a saucerful of secret concert last year in İstanbul and it was mind-blowing, it was and it would definitely the best thing i've ever seen in my life. I MEAN I SAW ECHOES LIVE MAAANNNN!! If even just mason's alone concert was like that, i can't even imagine how was the concert that you've seen.. i've born in the wrong decade..
I was MAJORLY disappointed in the critics' review of this album, when it was first reviewed back in 1977 . . . this is clearly some of the best work that Pink Floyd ever did. One of my favorites. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd perform live 5 times when living in New York. They dedicated a full concert to the release of this album, which was the entirety of the first half of the concert. They performed songs from past albums during the second half (after a short intermission). These guys were simply the best fully-sensual experience, in concert . . . both sights and sounds ! No one compares ! Thanks Lil J, for reviewing this !
Excellent choice for a review. Nicely done. And you were very respectful toward the meaning of what I believe to be Pink Floyd's best overall album. Thanks and good luck!
My favorite album by them. 🔥🙌🏼💥 David on guitars (including most of the bass I believe) on this one. Richard on keys/synths, Nick on drums and Roger’s lyrics. Sticky icky is as much as I ever needed!
Pink Floyd road-tested most of this material for two years before we heard it on vinyl. That’s why it’s musically flawless! Even though we hardly understood any of the meaning when it first came out. I remember a Brit classmate explaining Animals’ many lyrics phrases (and UK politics references) that had us baffled; then it all made sense.
Very true they played two tracks live at Knebworth in 1975 even before wish you were here was released in September 1975. one was called RAVING AND DROOLING which eventually became SHEEP and YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY which became DOGS if i remember correctly.
Just found you, happy to see you love my life long best band. BTW, David is playing in NY in November and Ill be there ! Old master is 78 and still the best IMO. There is an album missing on your list. Might not be #1 but well worth a reaction. Please do Division Bell when you can. High Hopes on that album is gorgeous (top 5 for me) and the whole album is also great work.
This album was released in 1977. Was 16, and nothing like Pink Floyd was out there. Bought the album, a bong and listened to the album for an entire weekend. To this day, nothing touches Pink Floyd music.
Such a good reaction especially thanks for not jumping and skipping between parts of the tracks. If you get the time read that book 'Animal farm' by George Orwell. I could be wrong but I think the concept is based loosely around that.
Dude in 1978 me, my cousin and best friend rode around listening to this on mushrooms in the Utah mountains from SLC to Ogden. We got out and climbed a ridge watched a lightning storm and it rained on us so hard we slid down the water created by a deluge. We got back in the car drove out of Weber canyon at dusk and watched the planes from Hill Air Force base take off bank towards us then head out over the Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Trippy as hell and we all remember that day very well with Pink Floyd being a large part of it. Thanks for memories from someone who appreciates the “trippiness” of it all.
YEAHHHH J, IT WAS A GREAT GREAT SHOW IN 77 TOO, FOR THE ( ANIMALS ) TOUR :) I WAS JUST 17 AND GETTING READY TO ENTER THE MILITARY LIFE AND WOUND UP SERVING FOR 35 YEARS ( 77-2012 ) :) HIGHERRRRR THAN A KITE, PARTYING HARD AT CONCERTS BEFORE I ENTERED THE AIR FORCE J :) GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN, LOVED HOW YOU COULD TALK SOFTLY WITHOUT BREAKING! LOVED THAT FOR SURE.YOU'RE LOVING YOU SOME OF GREAT REALLLLL ROCK HUH? CLASSICCCCC ROCK!
Although not a P.F. album but to me Roger Water's " Amused to Death" is a lyrical masterpiece. Written after seeing the Gulf War live on TV. Roger was the song writer for must of the Floyd and Dave was the musical genius.
my fav Floyd album. Gilmour puking out guitar chords via talk box with dogs howling , you know its well past midnight , u feel the cold through ur bones as Gilmour slowly amps up his guitar into a crescendo i can still feel the tension in my stomach cramping ,,,, i am alone , always alone when its Dogs playing...
Love this album. Dogs, i love the finality to it at the end. Sheep is my favourite. However, if you ever get to hear a bootleg from the in the flesh tour, especially from Montreal (yes, the performance that The Wall originated from) . Pigs ( three different ones) is the stand out, that being said, the sheep came along and had enough listening to the pigs. The start of sheep is brilliant. The keyboard lulls you into a false sense of security mixed with a forboding watch out bass line. The more you listen, the more you realise that pigs on the wing parts 1 & 2 are critical to this album.
Kudos to you for reviewing Orwell's Animal Farm before listening to this album. You should read the book, it is a short read. I remember buying the album the minute it hit the stores as all Floyd fans probably did. A new PF album was a happening! I did not like this album at all, first time listening to it. I knew the Animal Farm story (it used to be required reading in high school). However, as the years pass, I find that this is one of my favorite Floyd albums and one that I return to regularly. Funny enough, I saw Pink Floyd one time in concert in the 80's. I stood in the rain for hours to get tickets and just made it. They played 3 nights in ATL and I got some of the last tix for the 3rd night. Terrible seats and worse acoustics in the old ATL OMNI which has since been torn down. Still, I loved it as I never thought I would ever get to see them live. They floated a giant pig across the venue as they did a song or two from this album.
Old guy is oñ point!! Agreed, Moody Blues, Emerson Lake &Palmer ,check out all.Also...I like your intro 💙 to English Lit 101.Rock on,Young Blood is!!!(check out Jimi to)😊
I was in 7th grade riding with my friends sister and bf. This was in the tape player and I said this sounds like Floyd. He said yes it is the new album. I fell in love that night. I consider it Floyd doing punk rock. Have loved it since 47 years now.
I enjoy watching you hear Pink Floyd's music for the first time. You seem like a cool dude. I STRONGLY recommend checking out Brit Floyd. They're the most incredible cover band and their shows are 3 hours long. Lights, music, visuals, background singers, EVERYTHING is perfect. Currently on tour. Enjoy. Shine on!
This gives me Concert Flashbacks. Visually Stunning, can't be explained the Farm balloons, what a Trip😂🎉 Have you heard the news, the Dogs are Dead!😅❤ Thanks J
I was at the Animals tour in 1977 in Philly. Great time great music. Dogs represent the Corporate Owners…Pigs are the handlers of the workers…Sheep are the little people. It’s a very timely metaphor for the class struggle.
Lol, the way you took that deep shaky breath around 32:57 when Dogs ended is exactly the same reaction I have same time, every time. It's like the moment you get released from it and it hits you how heavy that trip just was. It's so nuts.
Great review! Glad another generation is appreciating it ❤ in 77 my twin brother walked up to me with two tickets to Pink Floyd Animals tour Awesome concert. And possibly my favorite album of theirs.
You’re awesome , you listen to entire album & then react which is the best way to appreciate Pink Floyd . You must listen to wish you were here album its brilliant !
Yo in high school I would listen to a cassette my dad had with Animals on one side and Dark Side of the Moon on the other… I’ve always listened to these albums but now I’ve delved deep into Animals and have been really focused on sheep. It’s wild you are diving into it now too. Love your reactiona
Hey, I like your Album Reactions a lot and Iove Pink Floyd. Would you please share the link to this great book description of "Animal Farm" from the Intro? This is very cool 👍
Riding the EL into downtown Chicago, this was one of my favorite Albums to listen to - probably why I ditched the necktie corporate gig for small town living Sanity and great on shrooms
I’m almost to the end of this! Want to say thank you! I am 56 I was a Pink Floyd listening teenager and listened to this a million times Have t listened in like 10 years or more You helped me hear this and hear things with a whole different perspective I never really heard it If that makes sense Wish more peopl would check this out Thank you soo much What a total pleasant experience!
Glad you are enjoying this album - great reactions. I first listened to this album back in the early 80's tripping on acid. Had a few bad trips and it's only been in the last year or so (40yrs later) that I've got back into this album again. Probably their best album for me. I especially love Gilmours lead - the 2nd lead break in Dogs. It's so angry compared to his usual calm soothing style. Maybe Gilmour and Waters were bitching at the time and that's why his lead sounds so angry? Anyway, glad you are getting into Floyd. May I suggest that you give "Wish You Were Here" a listen.
Being able to light one like that on video is about the only thing I envy the Americans for. I have to sneak around town for an hour just to meet the plug, then gotta go out somewhere in the woods to smoke and walk back, probably sober up until I get to the crib. A week ago, i went up a mountain with a buddy of mine, we smoked up there, played a round of chess, and climbed down cause it was about to start raining... in the freezing cold -10 degrees Celsius, which is like 15 in American units.

Definitely some of David’s filthiest guitar work on this album. Such a sense of urgency and rawness. Just incredible. Plays the bass too, and quite impressively, on tracks 3 and 4.
So glad to see this reacted to as required - front to back - bravo!!! What an epic commentary on life in '70s Britain - lyrically, this is Roger at his most bitter, yet best. Pink Floyd don't simply plug into amps - they plug directly into your mind and soul.
England in the mid-70s. Grim, gritty and so great ❤
Well said 👏👏🙌🙌
Great quote!
Great comment!
He didn't merely react to the album, which would be admirable enough. This dude went into Animal Farm! Above and beyond and he really seems to get the music too. Incredible!
The lyrics and filthy guitar work on "Dogs" is insanity. The way the vocals move in and out while the drums pop in and out is just as amazing. Dogs is my favorite song on the Animals album. Everything about it is perfect.
"Dogs" is my favorite song, too! Living to hear Pink Floyd, glad to be alive so I could experience them.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
I've always considered it Floyd's version of punk rock.

One of my favourite albums of all time, one I have listened to many times. I was 9 on release and listened to it as a young teen years later. It is a masterpiece
Same. 9 years old upon release. Listened to it in my teens. Genius album.
Some of Roger's grittiest and greatest writing on this album
I'm 73 and have been a PF fan since Saucer Full of Secrets back in the 60's. Animals has been in a flip flopping race between Animals and DSOTM as my favorite. Somehow Animals wins out most times as my all time favorite PF album. I love that you do the WHOLE ALBUM as it was intended and all PF music was meant to be listened to. THERE ARE NO PF SONGS!! There is only PF EXPERIENCE. Each album is like a piece of art meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Keep up your reviews of such groups that did CONCEPT ALBUMS. PF, Moody Blues and many other bands in that era totally disregarded AM radio demands and never sold out to the 3:00 to 4:00 minute demands of commercial radio and stayed true to their art. Though tunes like Money became AM hits it didn't matter and that's why you are so impressed as with many other reactors today 60 years later that not only did their music matter back then it matters NOW!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole and as always. Entire Album, head phones and fire one up, turn out the lights lay back and enjoy!!
As a 57 year old Floyd fan I can say without a doubt that your reactions are 100% authentic as you squirm and squeal at all the right moments !
As another 57 year old Floyd fan i agree
@@richbowie76 as a 17 year old pink Floyd fan I too hereby agree
Im still a sperm but I can confirm that this reaction made me find the egg
59 and a twelth, yep me too. The man knows. 🙏

Dude. It is a delight to see you jam out to this masterpiece. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album. Intentially meant to be impossible to put on the radio, Dave Gilmour and Richard Wright absolutely murder on this album (and Roger Waters and Nick Mason are also fucking fantastic too). The lyrics are dark and real as fuck, and YOU KNOW ITS ALL TRUE. you know pigs, sheep,. dogs and the whole thing. It hits like a sledgehammer right into the head. also, loving to see you getting into GIlmour's guitar work. He is able to say with a single note what other guitarists might try to say in a hundred, and they usually still fail. Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarist, and this album is his finest work, in my honest opinion.
That was really cool to add that part with “Animal Farm”. Roger said that the album is based loosely on this book. Thank you 👍
I thought that adding the intro was awful and an insult to the album.
@@PaulSchuster-yj4zb shut up Napoleon
David Gilmour also played all the Bass on this album. Roger is credited with Vocals and acoustic guitar. Waters as he did for many of their albums came up with the album concept that ties the songs together. Richard Wright's great synth lead playing is epic on this record
Pigs: Roger plays that crunchy guitar rhythm, Dave plays that sweet fretless bass! (The best bass on any Floyd album)!
I don't know how anybody can listen to this album and not break out in goosebumps! David Gilmore is a unique guitar sound that can't be replicated. Such a great band
"It's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around" is my absolute favorite lyrics line ever.
Depends on how you throw your weight. If you do it with the intention to spread Peace and Love then it is never too late and you are never too old. That is one of the reasons that this music here is still current now. Peace.
@@garyiow8482 Agreed!

Props for being a true Floyd fan, first time or not. You listen, and think, and experience it. Awesome!
He`s hooked for life,
When Pink Floyd toured this album, (and even afterward) they used to fly a HUGE pig around the stadium! The younger generations have missed so many great bands from the boomer generation. I am sooo happy to see ya'll enjoying the music that I grew up on!
I caught the show in Cleveland. Good times!
best band of all times 😎👍
Pink Floyd Meddle is a great underappreciated album.
MEDDLE IS A TREASURE 🎉❤
Imagine those of us who are a little older and got to see this done live by Pink Floyd in 1977!! I saw this at the madhouse on McDowell which is where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" took a short break and all of "Wish You Were Here" and then they came out and played half of "Dark Side of the Moon" for the encore!! One of four Pink Floyd concerts I've seen in my life and this one was probably the best with Roger Waters, Gilmore, Richard Wright and Nick Mason and Snowy White a second guitarist, all with the group and they were in their Prime!! Pink Floyd is probably the only group when my wife and I drove home we couldn't speak because we were speechless after those Floyd concerts. Probably Zeppelin and AC/DC too but that Floyd concert was beyond description! I saw at least a dozen people being carried out of that concert physically because they just could not take the intensity of the atmosphere and the music and everything going on!! I'll never forget!!
Great memories!
I was at the 2nd show during that tour at Phillys Spectrum when Roger became ill and couldn't come back for the encores.
"Snowy" White took over playing the bass.
What happened backstage that night was the foundation of the song, "Comfortably Numb" that would be on their next album, "The Wall."
This is the tour I saw them on. The show was great too. With the balloon animals and the pig that flew around the concert hall. And if I'm not mistaken, it was the same pig that's on the album cover.

With a couple of albums under your belt, I think most would agree that you now qualify to be a Floydian. I have been one for 50 years and I wholeheartedly welcome you to the world of Floyd. Continue on my fellow Floydian and prepare for more enlightening journeys. You will forever be changed and better for it. Thank you for a great reaction!! The door is now open.
You are absolutely right @robertwatson,he has become one of us! I have but one suggestion,listen to all their albums with headphones on and listen to each album from beginning to end and listen to them more than several times in a row,every time you listen you’ll hear sounds you hadn’t heard before. This is a band that was like no other band,before or after their splits up.
I'm now going to start referring to the process of new people getting into Pink Floyd as a "Floydian Slip".
I'm a Freddy mercurian 😀
The transitions within their music are amazing. Everything is seemless. This is art!
The best album that is ever made.
@@torbjrnlund903 certainly in my top 10, best pf album for sure
...of the highest order!
Don't worry too much about associating the songs with "Animal Farm". The album is only VERY loosely based on it, only as far as picking certain animal species as metaphors. One crucial difference is that Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a satire of the Russian Revolution and communism, while Pink Floyd's "Animals" is a bitter vision of its polar opposite, capitalism, and more specifically about the recording industry, about which Roger Waters was particularly resentful and embittered at the time. The pigs are those who hold the strings of everything, billionaires and politicians. Dogs are executives who serve them and think they're great, until they discover that they've just been used by the pigs, and they herd the mass of sheep (just about everyone else).
A sad irony is what happened to that building on the record cover, the Battersea Power Station, a coal-fired electric power plant in the Eastern part of London. At the time the album was made, the plant had been decommissioned and was derelict, and the surrounding neighborhood was totally blighted. Now it's been renovated into a flashy, expensive shopping mall with designer brands for the dogs, to which the sheep also flock happily when they can, and the neighborhood has been gentrified and is now a trendy place. The pigs won.
Pigs is easily one of my top 20 all time favorite songs.
I love that you particularly appreciated the disses.
“You radiate cold shafts of broken glass!” Is my favorite.
One of my favorite songs of all time too. Hits every damn time!
I first heard this when it came out in '77 and I was 15yrs old. Glad to see that young people like you many generations later are getting the same kick as I did from music excellence!
My father is the same age as you and I’ve been hooked on pink Floyd ever since he introduced them to me when I was younger
That was a blast. I love this album. It has aged well. Great to see your positive reaction to an underrated gem. Including the Animal Farm summary at the beginning was a perfect touch.
Great album ! Back in 77 we listened to this with in my car with speakers in the back and front. The sound would travel around to each speaker way cooler than headphones. You can get the same effect with surround sound 5 speakers and a subwoofer.
Starting with Animal Farm... mate.. Person of culture. Absolutely great reaction. This album is utterly savage, and has stuck with me to this day.
I so miss the "Laser Floyd" shows at the planetariums!
Ha! That took me waaaaay back. Lol
Yea I remember that I went to one.
Spot on reaction. "Obscured by clouds" a criminally underlooked classic album should (imo) be pencilled in for your enjoyment. You wont be disappointed. Keep em coming tho. Its a buzz seeing others get the buzz. Cheers
People argue about which is their most classic and impactful album. Dark Side, Wish You were Here, The Wall. For me it’s always been Animals. I actually think the bookend songs (Pigs on the Wing), detract from the impact of those three main songs. Those three songs are as good as it gets. And yes, keep listening my man. I’ve listened to these songs most of my life. Not only do they not get old, it always sounds fresh and new. I am always amazed and taken aback to here something I’d never heard before, or some nugget of wisdom that I didn’t quite get when I was younger. Every note, every word, is just complete perfection 😊
I saw the "Animals" tour at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1977. We were on 3rd base. When the giant pig exploded we could feel the heat and concussion. Amazing show!
I genuinely cackled out loud to "is that a synth?" Yes sir, with this band, there was almost always a synth in some form. Love this reaction brother.
Watching Lil J Listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time is like reliving the day I heard it for the first time, the day it came out. I am totally exhausted. It literally took my breath away - again. I had forgotten how much this album had affected my life! Thank you so much for reminding me how much Pink Floyd has meant to me my whole life, this album came out over 50 years ago and I remember it like was yesterday, which is pretty hard to do considering it was in the 70s! 😂
Love. Respect. Totally Appreciate your personal Love of this music artistry. Peace man. I am now 61 years old. I grew up with this music. Bought the album when it was released and only the Universe knows how many times I have listened to it. Never gets old in my opinion. Very deep and philosophical and produced by True Artists.
Animals is not a musical version of the novel Animals by George Orwell.
It only takes the characters like pigs, dogs and sheep from it. See Wikipedia for everything on Pink Floyd’s Animals album.
Animals is a very underrated PF album. I think it’s one of their best.
As I watch you listen to the story of Animal Farm, my feelings of despair increase. The idea that folks of your generation are entirely unfamiliar with a book that was required reading when I was in public school is disturbing. But even more disturbing is your apparent lack of recognition that the story of Animal Farm echoes the recent history of humanity, some of which is presently replaying itself. Don't be a sheep. Don't be a victim of propaganda, Don't be a victim of ignorance. Take notice of history, and don't let others rewrite it.
Great to see your reaction to this. Over time Animals has become my favourite Floyd album, Gilmour's guitar playing is totally insane. Those solos in Dogs give me goosebumps every time 😃
Animal Farm is a great book and it’s actually a pretty quick read. Orwell also wrote “1984”. Before he became an author, Orwell worked in MI5 (England’s version of the C.I.A.)
Known as "B." In his works..
Only you could deliver this as excellent as it is with your personal character & insight. I am 67. I was in the US Submarine service when this came out. My life & mind's eye are filled with visions & memories linked to every second of every song from Echoes to the Wall. Unmatched by any other group of musicians. Your appreciation is enjoyable. Now get out there & take the music with you & see what happens.
Forgive me for not saying anything useful, but I just had to comment again for the algorithm because I loved this reaction so much. Not everyone gets how awesome this album is for me. This was perfect. I really appreciate your great reaction. Thank you sir!
Sorry for being late to the show.
"Wave upon wave of demented avengers marching cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream"
Damn what a line.
One of the best, ever!!!
This album came out when I was fifteen and my parents couldn’t understand but I was hooked. Great album and yea got to see them once and it was an amazing concert. 🤘🏻blaze on brother
Ha crazy me to born in 62 i was a Freshmen in High school and still listen I saw them at Giant stadium 7/17/1994 great show.
Their best album in my opinion. I'm 57 and my oldest brother (RIP Jeff) used to play this all the time in his room down the hall. Got introduced to a lot of great bands via older brothers. This album is amongst many and one of my favorites by far. Did I hear the dog? Have been for decades now. Great reaction....thank you.
Same age as you, bro. I feel the same way. Best album. Dogs is the best song. The solo is extraordinary. Nothing like it.
I'm so glad you listen to entire albums vs. just one song. I love watching you enjoy the music of my youth. I'm still listening to it, there's nothing like it.
Well done ! The animal farm intro was the warm up to the bang on the head nice. Aye memories. Yes Pink Floyd can send you to other places.
At 76 I still listen to PF almost every day.
Excellent you watched the Animal Farm explanation first. It's a very important book, and although everyone talks about 1984, this book should be required reading for students. Great album and this was awesome. Your reaction was really fantastic to a favorite album of mine
A side note, the term 'sheeple' is still used and comes out of what sheep represent here and in Animal Farm. A person following the crowd mindlessly. Being naive. I love the transitions Pink Floyd accomplishes, on Sheep there's great ones. Pigs on the wing is like the expression when pigs fly. Used to mean something unlikely happening. It gives the whole thing a message of hope, like change can happen. The impossible is possible.
Say goodbye to hip hop !!! welcome Pink Floyd !!
As "another sad old man" One of the things that makes me smile is watching people from different musical cultures discover early Pink Floyd .
Good on you Lil J. So glad you discovered this mastery of music
Hell yeah, been waitin for this. I think Dark Side is their best album as a whole, but Dogs by itself is tough to beat.
masterpiece , another one whole way through, this for me was pink floyds most commercial listening album, i mean for the layman who doesnt know anything about pf I mean, easy listening album, obviously the other one is momentary lapse of reason, but for me wish you were here album is number one, darkside of the moon 2nd, 3rd is about 4 pink floyd albums equally as good. this album is underrated though too. With roger waters brain and davids paying ability and voice unstoppable force
Man you can't say animals is the most easygoing with a song like Dogs in it, i tried to listen to it but i just can't, i get bored so fast
@@sebas288 ha then u must hate pf , since its 1 of their best songs
Love your reactions to Floyd , I’m a longtime Floydian . This is my favorite album ❤
“Dark Side of the Moon”, is in it’s own category. “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall”, in that order. Of course that’s only one 64 year old man’s opinion. In the 70s and 80s I’ve seen all those albums in concert.
Man i can't even describe how lucky you are.. I'm just 18 and i've gone to nick mason's a saucerful of secret concert last year in İstanbul and it was mind-blowing, it was and it would definitely the best thing i've ever seen in my life. I MEAN I SAW ECHOES LIVE MAAANNNN!! If even just mason's alone concert was like that, i can't even imagine how was the concert that you've seen.. i've born in the wrong decade..
This made me so happy to see you listening to this.. I love how you educated everyone what is up an your amazing young man. ✌🏼💗😊
Subbed when I saw the blunt getting torched. Awesome reaction Lil J
I was MAJORLY disappointed in the critics' review of this album, when it was first reviewed back in 1977 . . . this is clearly some of the best work that Pink Floyd ever did. One of my favorites. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd perform live 5 times when living in New York. They dedicated a full concert to the release of this album, which was the entirety of the first half of the concert. They performed songs from past albums during the second half (after a short intermission). These guys were simply the best fully-sensual experience, in concert . . . both sights and sounds ! No one compares ! Thanks Lil J, for reviewing this !
The music will drag you in and the lyrics will gut you. It doesn't hurt that they had one of the best guitarists ever.
Excellent choice for a review. Nicely done. And you were very respectful toward the meaning of what I believe to be Pink Floyd's best overall album. Thanks and good luck!
I appreciated your thoughtful reaction. Subscribed!
My favorite album by them. 🔥🙌🏼💥 David on guitars (including most of the bass I believe) on this one. Richard on keys/synths, Nick on drums and Roger’s lyrics. Sticky icky is as much as I ever needed!
Yes...the amazing bass, especially on Pigs, is all David , along with lead guitar and voice box (Roger played rhythm guitar) .
@@williamosborne6866 Gilmour playing bass on SHEEP ...the best 🔝🔝🔝
Pink Floyd road-tested most of this material for two years before we heard it on vinyl. That’s why it’s musically flawless! Even though we hardly understood any of the meaning when it first came out. I remember a Brit classmate explaining Animals’ many lyrics phrases (and UK politics references) that had us baffled; then it all made sense.
Very true they played two tracks live at Knebworth in 1975 even before wish you were here was released in September 1975. one was called RAVING AND DROOLING which eventually became SHEEP and YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY which became DOGS if i remember correctly.
Thank you for this reaction and showing the book at the beginning. Never new the animal farm story . Makes the album more enjoyable.
Just found you, happy to see you love my life long best band. BTW, David is playing in NY in November and Ill be there ! Old master is 78 and still the best IMO. There is an album missing on your list. Might not be #1 but well worth a reaction. Please do Division Bell when you can. High Hopes on that album is gorgeous (top 5 for me) and the whole album is also great work.
This album was released in 1977. Was 16, and nothing like Pink Floyd was out there. Bought the album, a bong and listened to the album for an entire weekend. To this day, nothing touches Pink Floyd music.
Some of this album is so paralyzing that I often forget to breathe.
this is always the pink floyd album that i keep coming back to listen to is pretty epic.
Such a good reaction especially thanks for not jumping and skipping between parts of the tracks. If you get the time read that book 'Animal farm' by George Orwell. I could be wrong but I think the concept is based loosely around that.
Dude in 1978 me, my cousin and best friend rode around listening to this on mushrooms in the Utah mountains from SLC to Ogden. We got out and climbed a ridge watched a lightning storm and it rained on us so hard we slid down the water created by a deluge. We got back in the car drove out of Weber canyon at dusk and watched the planes from Hill Air Force base take off bank towards us then head out over the Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Trippy as hell and we all remember that day very well with Pink Floyd being a large part of it. Thanks for memories from someone who appreciates the “trippiness” of it all.
YEAHHHH J, IT WAS A GREAT GREAT SHOW IN 77 TOO, FOR THE ( ANIMALS ) TOUR :) I WAS JUST 17 AND GETTING READY TO ENTER THE MILITARY LIFE AND WOUND UP SERVING FOR 35 YEARS ( 77-2012 ) :) HIGHERRRRR THAN A KITE, PARTYING HARD AT CONCERTS BEFORE I ENTERED THE AIR FORCE J :) GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN, LOVED HOW YOU COULD TALK SOFTLY WITHOUT BREAKING! LOVED THAT FOR SURE.YOU'RE LOVING YOU SOME OF GREAT REALLLLL ROCK HUH? CLASSICCCCC ROCK!
Although not a P.F. album but to me Roger Water's " Amused to Death" is a lyrical masterpiece. Written after seeing the Gulf War live on TV. Roger was the song writer for must of the Floyd and Dave was the musical genius.
One of my favorites from Roger.... his concert "In The Flesh" is one of if not the best I have ever seen.
my fav Floyd album. Gilmour puking out guitar chords via talk box with dogs howling , you know its well past midnight , u feel the cold through ur bones as Gilmour slowly amps up his guitar into a crescendo i can still feel the tension in my stomach cramping ,,,, i am alone , always alone when its Dogs playing...
Love this album. Dogs, i love the finality to it at the end. Sheep is my favourite. However, if you ever get to hear a bootleg from the in the flesh tour, especially from Montreal (yes, the performance that The Wall originated from) . Pigs ( three different ones) is the stand out, that being said, the sheep came along and had enough listening to the pigs. The start of sheep is brilliant. The keyboard lulls you into a false sense of security mixed with a forboding watch out bass line. The more you listen, the more you realise that pigs on the wing parts 1 & 2 are critical to this album.
Sheep is my favorite too although the whole album is brilliant. Love Gilmour's bouncy bass in Sheep.☺️
So glad you covered this. A little education on the way things are. And also, your sound system is awesome! I can hear things I’ve missed
Kudos to you for reviewing Orwell's Animal Farm before listening to this album. You should read the book, it is a short read.
I remember buying the album the minute it hit the stores as all Floyd fans probably did. A new PF album was a happening! I did not like this album at all, first time listening to it. I knew the Animal Farm story (it used to be required reading in high school).
However, as the years pass, I find that this is one of my favorite Floyd albums and one that I return to regularly.
Funny enough, I saw Pink Floyd one time in concert in the 80's. I stood in the rain for hours to get tickets and just made it. They played 3 nights in ATL and I got some of the last tix for the 3rd night.
Terrible seats and worse acoustics in the old ATL OMNI which has since been torn down. Still, I loved it as I never thought I would ever get to see them live. They floated a giant pig across the venue as they did a song or two from this album.
dogs might be one of the best songs of all time
Little late to comment but I just wanted to say you did it right man, listened to the whole album without stopping 👍
Dogs🔥🔥🔥
Old guy is oñ point!! Agreed, Moody Blues, Emerson Lake &Palmer ,check out all.Also...I like your intro 💙 to English Lit 101.Rock on,Young Blood is!!!(check out Jimi to)😊
Great reaction to my favorite PF album ❤
I was in 7th grade riding with my friends sister and bf. This was in the tape player and I said this sounds like Floyd. He said yes it is the new album. I fell in love that night. I consider it Floyd doing punk rock. Have loved it since 47 years now.
I enjoy watching you hear Pink Floyd's music for the first time. You seem like a cool dude. I STRONGLY recommend checking out Brit Floyd. They're the most incredible cover band and their shows are 3 hours long. Lights, music, visuals, background singers, EVERYTHING is perfect. Currently on tour. Enjoy. Shine on!
This gives me Concert Flashbacks. Visually Stunning, can't be explained the Farm balloons, what a Trip😂🎉 Have you heard the news, the Dogs are Dead!😅❤ Thanks J
I was at the Animals tour in 1977 in Philly. Great time great music. Dogs represent the Corporate Owners…Pigs are the handlers of the workers…Sheep are the little people. It’s a very timely metaphor for the class struggle.
Props for starting with animal farm
Lol, the way you took that deep shaky breath around 32:57 when Dogs ended is exactly the same reaction I have same time, every time. It's like the moment you get released from it and it hits you how heavy that trip just was. It's so nuts.
You did not just say that 🎉 welcome to the wonderful world of PINK FLOYD
Great review! Glad another generation is appreciating it ❤
in 77 my twin brother walked up to me with two tickets to Pink Floyd Animals tour
Awesome concert. And possibly my favorite album of theirs.
You’re awesome , you listen to entire album & then react which is the best way to appreciate Pink Floyd . You must listen to wish you were here album its brilliant !
Yo in high school I would listen to a cassette my dad had with Animals on one side and Dark Side of the Moon on the other… I’ve always listened to these albums but now I’ve delved deep into Animals and have been really focused on sheep. It’s wild you are diving into it now too. Love your reactiona
Hey, I like your Album Reactions a lot and Iove Pink Floyd. Would you please share the link to this great book description of "Animal Farm" from the Intro?
This is very cool 👍
Riding the EL into downtown Chicago, this was one of my favorite Albums to listen to - probably why I ditched the necktie corporate gig for small town living
Sanity and great on shrooms
I’m almost to the end of this!
Want to say thank you!
I am 56
I was a Pink Floyd listening teenager and listened to this a million times
Have t listened in like 10 years or more
You helped me hear this and hear things with a whole different perspective I never really heard it
If that makes sense
Wish more peopl would check this out
Thank you soo much
What a total pleasant experience!
Glad you are enjoying this album - great reactions. I first listened to this album back in the early 80's tripping on acid. Had a few bad trips and it's only been in the last year or so (40yrs later) that I've got back into this album again. Probably their best album for me. I especially love Gilmours lead - the 2nd lead break in Dogs. It's so angry compared to his usual calm soothing style. Maybe Gilmour and Waters were bitching at the time and that's why his lead sounds so angry? Anyway, glad you are getting into Floyd. May I suggest that you give "Wish You Were Here" a listen.
Being able to light one like that on video is about the only thing I envy the Americans for.
I have to sneak around town for an hour just to meet the plug, then gotta go out somewhere in the woods to smoke and walk back, probably sober up until I get to the crib.
A week ago, i went up a mountain with a buddy of mine, we smoked up there, played a round of chess, and climbed down cause it was about to start raining... in the freezing cold -10 degrees Celsius, which is like 15 in American units.
Ayyo this was awesome to read bro. Unfortunate that you have to go through all that just to get some sticky icky. But Thanks for sharing this 🔥
I noticed a little edit there on Pigs(three different ones). Smooth.
Genius + Genius + Genius + Genius = Pink Floyd!
I appreciate your comments and your intellect and thank you very much.❤
