The crescendo at the end of Sheep gives it the edge, but Dogs and Pigs led to the build up. Then in the end, it's love and a feeling of belonging that makes life worth living.

    One of the many things I love about Sheep is the homage to Fritz Lang's silent sci-fi/political masterpiece, Metropolis (1927) presented in the middle "Lord's Prayer" section of the song. In the movie, in a cavernous hall deep below the city, the robot, Maria, fires up a crowd of disgruntled workers, inspiring them to revolt against the owner class above. Sonically, the song lovingly riffs on this scene with a journey "down" into a room with many sheep gathered together listening to a rather mechanical minister invoke its revolutionary take on compliance. Brilliant and dramatic.

    Jumping back in, pardon. There was nothing digital, most of what they did, even for an echo had to be invented yet.

    Daniel...your genuine desire to learn and understand the great music that has come before your time is most refreshing, and unfortunately rare within your generation. Keep doing what you do, as you do, and why you do. Never let the occasional killjoy change who you are. If I had a son, I would hope that he would be like you.
    Life lessons can take many forms - this one is musically brilliant, lyrically disturbing, yet ends on a hopeful note. By way of comparison, their last studio album (post Waters) - The Division Bell - also carries some sobering themes, but ultimately ends as does their studio journey) with an amazing uplifting look at the future with "High Hopes". The only other closing track in memory that is equally monumental is "Nights in White Satin" to cap off "Days of Future Passed" David Gilmour's outro solo on the lap steel guitar will bring moisture to your eyes (if it doesn't, you may have no soul).

    The allegory started by Orwell but perfected by Pink Floyd may turn up in literature books someday. It's that insightful, powerful and true. You don't have to go very far to meet people ruled by their fear (sheep), aggression (dogs) or appetites (pigs). Art reveals truth and THIS IS ART.
    PS- on the use of autotune/vocoder: less is more. A very little goes a long way- like cayenne pepper.

    I just find Floyd's music entirely mesmorising. I admire the cleverness and musicality (sometimes) of some of the other great prog rock bands of the era, but for me music doesn't need to be overly complicated for one to appreciate it. The simplicity of a lot of Floyd's music for me is a big plus. Any music that makes the small hairs stand up with emotion floats my boat for sure and I get this feeling a lot with most of Floyd's music along with some powerful lyrics. Also, the quality of the production is really something to be admired and that for me adds to the overall appreciation of the music.

    I always like your reactions and analysis Daniel. With some of these albums, it takes a great deal of sensitivity, combined with maturity, to get a grasp of the vast undercurrents and messages being conveyed by the recording artist. Animals by Pink Floyd is definitely one of those. Some people can listen to such an album many times, yet all they hear are the music being played and words being sung. They don't cue into the meaning. You're a very quick study. Very well done.

    Another album from the '70's that does a great job of interpreting a book is "The Snow Goose" by the British prog rock band Camel, which presents the story by author Paul Gallico (published in 1941) that is centered around the time of the Dunkirk exodus during WWII. Unlike Pink Floyd's "Animals", Camel departed from their usual composition methods, and presented the story without any lyrics.

    "Sheep" is also my favorite track from Animals. the atmosphere is tense, dark and electric except at the end where we feel a slight brightening with the luminous guitar chords of Gilmour. it fit in well with what was going on in England at the time at the height of the Punk movement and the economic crisis and racial tensions.

    Agree - the best track on a great album.
    Vocoder - good (notes played live on a keyboard using the human voice to give texture - check out Sunlight by Herbie Hancock). Autotune - bad (digital cleaning of vocals, now used as a lazy, ubiquitous semi-robotic effect in many too many a pop tune).

    1977's "Animals" has the misfortune of having been released in-between 1975's "Wish You Were Here" and 1979's "The Wall". Both the aformentioned are regarded as master-pieces and "Animals" got lost to history, while it's as least as good as "Dark Side Of The Moon (1973)" and "better" than "The Wall". Keep in mind that the words 'Good', 'Better than' and/or "masterpiece" are (or should be) taken into consideration as being uttered by yours truly and are in no way a representation of what or how Pink Floyd should, could, or must be interpreted. We all have ears, brains and the means of adding one plus one; at least, we should. You yourself seem a fine specimen to dissect what's going on here. Intersecting with regard to the folk who have been listening to this music for over fifty years. But, some will say that this is what you're up against. I've been listening to Pink Floyd since 1968 and I don't give a flying feckaroo about what anybody else says or thinks, because, hey, enjoying music is an individual thing. The minute you listen to something, it's YOUR music, YOUR sentiment and YOUR bloody feelings. So, better enjoy, regardless of what anybody else is saying, including myself. Greetings and well-wishings from Belgium...

    Pink Floyd was formed in 1965... their (most likely) last album was "The Endless River" in 2014. PF had 15 studio albums... 3 live albums, 9 compilation albums not to mention multiple live dvds and solo albums performed by below members of the band.
    Syd Barrett (short-lived founder; guitar plus) the originator and quirky eccentric; inevitably the consequential muse. * January 6, 1946 (rip 2006)
    Roger Waters (bass) was the cultivator (seed sower), the lyrically conceptual prodigy, secondary vocal and co-maestro of songwriting * September 6, 1943 (age 78 years)
    David Gilmour (guitar) was the placidity, guitar virtuoso, the silky smooth voice and co-maestro; the equilibrium. * March 6, 1946 (age 75 years)
    Richard Wright (keyboards) was the essential underlying symmetry; musical nurturer. Occasional singer. * July 28, 1943 (rip 2008)
    Nick Mason (drums) was the heartbeat, structure and foundation; the sole member involved from the emergence of PF to the last recording. * January 27, 1944 (age 77 years)
    FYI: The following Pink Floyd albums are Concept Albums (all songs together tell a complete story)... Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979); The Final Cut (1983) is a maybe, as it was the last album with Roger Waters being in the band. *search on Wiki the album title to get the story behind the concept.

    Sheep is a masterpiece within a masterpiece. Although I'm far from on board with Roger politically, his song craft is undeniable.
    That first user comment that the danger was "wolves" missed the mark IMO. The dogs - and the fear of them - are merely tools to steer them into the slaughterhouse.
    I love that Pigs On The Wing is a Hallmark card to Waters' new love, although the double entendre of "bury my bone" nearly breaks the mood...only nearly, though.

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. FYI: Sheep are known as one of the dumbest animals on earth. (Turkeys are first. It's said that turkeys have been known to drown looking up to sky when it rains. Anthony Bordain opined: Like Bon Jovi fans.) But sheep, they'll believe in anything. Dog are smart, well, smarter, but no one in the animal kingdom (apart from primates) are as smart as pigs. What an amazing album. So many allegories to ponder. When you get to Pink Floyd's "The Wall", you better fasten your seatbelt Daniel! My best.

    Hey Daniel, great show.

    What I love most about Sheep is how much the keyboardist Richard Wright is featured throughout. Nick Mason on drums is pretty intensely in the forefront as well. Gilmour and Waters always get the lion's share of the accolades but their support was never better than in this song.
    That beat and those ethereal electronic choirs.
    Animals is such a great album, Dogs is still my favorite, but this is the happy song, yes a triumphant ending. Again great show!!

  • @snakelite61
    @snakelite61 Před 3 lety +1

    This album is considered by many to be the beginning of the end of the band. Roger had a vision and used a heavy hand to impose his views on the other band members. He's been widely criticized for being a dictatorial egomaniac, but I would argue that he just had more deeply held political views and a greater passion to express them. Just as he had to fight for the darkness in DSOTM and the concept album format, he was able to impose his rather strong will and the intensity of his anger at the system on the majority in this album too. As Nick Mason wrote in his memoir, there was a lot of resistance to what Waters was bringing to the table, but admits that the rest of them weren't really presenting their own material. There had been such resistance in the making of Animals that for the next album Waters brought in a demo-type tape with rough "drafts" of all the songs for two albums "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" and "The Wall". The band listened to both and chose The Wall, an album Gilmore to this day doesn't like. He didn't like the Roger-centric Wall and really didn't like the related follow-up album The Final Cut.

    Yes, Animals and Animal Farm are both dark characterizations of people and I wouldn’t try too hard to identify myself as either pig, dog or sheep. I loved the Jim Carrey quote btw. Musically this album is killer. Nice job on your reviews, I enjoyed it a lot.

    SHEEP
    Lyrics by: Roger Waters
    Music by David Gilmour & Roger Waters
    Meaning of Sheep
    Freely translated from this page of the italian site Legendary Cover:
    legendarycover.it/testi-traduzioni/pink-floyd/sheep/
    One of the most hidden and underrated masterpieces of this group, one of their most successful and interesting songs.
    After meeting the powerful (Pigs) and the individuals who favor power to climb society (Dogs) in half an hour apnea, the time has come to sift through the human soul by talking about those who power makes him live, literally: the masses.
    Sheep, like Dogs, was born in 1974, during the tour of The Dark Side Of The Moon, and like Dogs had a different title, which gave the idea of how you live life without thinking for yourself, precisely "Raving And Drooling ”(Delirious and drooling). Waters will change the title to make it more coherent with Animals, choosing an animal that symbolizes that tranquility typical of those who are willing to suffer every abuse rather than commit themselves trying to change things: the sheep.
    In addition to the title, the style of the song will also change. Raving And Drooling had to be recorded as a jam session, to communicate the absence of critical and structured thinking typical of certain people, just as a jam session is a casual and improvised mixture of elements, without a real beginning and a precise end.
    To further accentuate the madness effect underlying the sheepish attitude, Pink Floyd again use radio presenter Jimmy Young who had repeatedly criticized the band. On Meddle, the phrase "One of these days I'm going to cut you in little pieces" was the answer to Young; on Raving And Drooling, the presenter's voice is randomly recorded, chopped up and reassembled. The result is a voice that utters nonsense sentences, as if it had a mental problem. Waters' voice was then retained and mixed with these inhuman verses with the use of synthesizers.
    It was the idea of madness that Waters wanted to achieve. Sheep are mindless masses incapable of critical thinking. This does not allow them to get out of the maze that pigs and dogs have built around them, an infinite labyrinth made up of fences and walls, to confine them and make them completely harmless.
    They spend their lives grazing to eat and sleep and reproduce, only with the vague feeling that there is something wrong with the society in which they live, without the strength or the courage to understand what it is. Beyond their basic needs they see little and think even less, and it will be on basic needs that power will strike the nail to ensure that these people are on their side. When basic needs are ensured, ordinary people think of nothing else and power can continue its work undisturbed.
    The passage ... continue ->

    • @Enrico.Sbardolini

      … its work undisturbed. -> reprise
      The passage also has religious influences, the sheep is a symbol of candid innocence, and the phrase
      It can mean that reality can be terribly different from what it seems to those who see it with the eyes of a "faith", religious or otherwise, such as in institutions or in a person seen as a "guide".
      The sheep pretend not to be in danger and faithfully follow the leader. When reality inevitably shows itself as it really is ("Now things are really what they seem"), they will be surprised not to be in a nightmare.
      Waters composes this piece, but Richard Wright makes it masterful. The piano beginning, between the piercing bleats of the sheep and Gilmour's bass (he plays the bass in Sheep) is an instrumental section that gives an almost dreamlike charge to the piece. It is a fuse, because the song flows with progressive, almost obsessive urgency. Waters' voice fading into the hum of the synthesizer evokes something that falls apart until it disappears, such as critical thinking; the heart rate pounds until the second verse, when suddenly everything is quiet, to enter the altered sermon of the sheep world.
      After an echo of the word “stone” from Dogs, when Gilmour sang “… carried down by the stone”, Waters recites a sort of prayer in a distorted, incomprehensible voice. The idea is always to propose the alien language of society's "sheep". It is a blind litany, disturbing and devoid of color, where the voice plays a long series of metallic sounds that mix with the effects of the synthesizer and the inevitable bass, constant background throughout the song. The sermon begins bland but is infected by the pressing rhythm of the song, soon the obsessive bleating of the sheep becomes deafening, it is surmounted by the voice that continues to utter senseless sounds until everything ends as it suddenly began with the third verse sung.
      Power uses religion and politics to control the masses that might rebel, as happens in the ending of the passage, where the sheep turn against their masters, with a cry. This verse may have a second interpretation, that is, throwing oneself around someone's neck in a blind act of devotion.
      The sheep are so many that they seem like an army, they all go in the same direction as every flock, a brainless mobile mass that thinks it is inside a dream.
      In the last verse, the dogs died under the revolt of the sheep. But it is a change of power. Those who have undermined him are preparing to take his place, in fact there is to be careful, someone tells the most harmless sheep to stay at home and "do what they are told".
      The song ends as it began and as it went on, in a masterly way: David Gilmour's solo is joyful, it seems like an uncontrolled and perhaps exaggerated party, a party that probably won't last long.
      Individuals who take the place of the old powerful will dispense the same abuses to ordinary people, who only have to think about getting old, without getting in the way. It may be dangerous.

    Although I dont like to rate most bands albums, and it is so tough to rate the Floyd's catalog.. Lets first state that after Roger it was a 35 year lapse of reality... Without a doubt Pink Floyd made great strides with each album. For many years they were a psychedelic jam band and the songs would come from those jams. But as time went on, more songs came on their own. Meddle.. saw a split where there was a distinct difference between Cut you into little pieces and San Tropez... Obscured by Clouds pointed the way to DSOTM.. Most people 'back in the day' said the Wish you were Here was their favorite and they were bored with Dark Side.. Saying I have a favorite its a tight race.. I loved Obscured... and Dark Side and Wish.. equally... but Animals.. is a different species.. and its tied as my favorite with The Final Cut...

    I remember buying this on 8-track when it came out. I think it was their last truly great album. The next one, "The Wall", is good in parts but is spoiled by Roger Waters' massive ego and belief that he was the whole show and that the other guys were just his backing band. Their last album, "The Final Cut", is pretty much a Roger Waters solo album and is their absolute worst, especially with all of Roger's tone-deaf caterwauling.

    If you haven’t reviewed them yet, “Meddle” and “Obscured By Clouds” are two other amazing Pink Floyd albums, not a bad song on either.

    I would like to recommend you a song called "El desastre de Hésperus" by Palmira Romano. If you like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Uriah Heep or Deep Purple, I think you could like it.
