  • My Review of the New Remix of Animals by Pink Floyd! Is the Remix Better than the Original Album?
    Hey everyone!
    When Pink Floyd released their album Animals, we knew instantly that this was one of Pink Floyd’s very best works!
    And we have all been waiting patiently for the remix of Animals to finally arrive! We’’ it’s finally here, and tonight I give a thorough track by track analysis of the entire album, while giving my thoughts on what the album was all about!
    Is the new remix better than the original album? What should you even look for while listening to this new remix? And finally, what kind of equipment did they use to achieve the new remix?
    These and many more questions will be answered in tonight’s video!
    If you enjoy the video, be sure to give it a Thumbs-Up as that helps the CZcams algorithm better identify the channel to a larger audience!

    Hi Michael, Love Pink Floyd one of my favs. I don't have Animals but do have 7 of the others by Pink Floyd. Another amazing insightful review by the King.
    Join us tonight to discuss songwriters Lou and Dana will be there together so we can a have a female perspective also. Dan is not feeling well so he probably won't be with us tonight.

      So sorry I missed the show, Royce!
      Post surgery has been a bit of a bitch to deal with! I’ll do my best to make the next one!
      Everyone, Royce’s streams are wonderful! He usually covers a particular subject, like the great songwriters of our time, and then has a discussion on that for the night!

    Hello, Michael.
    Animals is one of my favorite albums of all time.
    I've just listened to the new remix on headphones a couple of times.
    To my ears, the biggest improvment was in Pigs (3DO). It's amazing how we can now hear the great basslines (played by Gilmour) so clearly.
    The other tracks have more clarity and instrument separation than the original too, but I'm not sure it's better.
    Maybe the darker original mix suits the gloomy mood of the album in a better way.
    Anyway, I'll keep on listening to both to find out.
    Cheers.

    I'm so addicted to this channel.
    You know, technology can be awesome.
    Sound can be brought to such new and great levels and I suppose hearing my fave albums being remastered should be a wonderful thing.
    I remember buying "Animals" and sticking it on my record player and being blown away.
    Sitting there cross legged on my bedroom floor holding the album cover in my hands...the whole experience was riveting.
    I wore that album out like so many others.
    I remember getting my first real stereo system and headphones..this was one of the first albums I listened to and yes, it was a new experience listening to it the way it was meant to be heard.
    So I guess I should be happy about the new remasters but I'm more wistful than happy.
    Then you have those remasters where the artist is actually going in and playing parts over in the studio and adding them to the old recordings or just completely re-recording the songs. Aye, Jeff Lynn?
    I'll take the originals any day but will always have a listen to new versions.
    GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.

    Nice review of the 2018 mix! You missed what is to my ears one of the greatest improvements on the whole albums, though, namely the bass guitar line on ‘Pigs (Three Different Ones)’. By placing it significantly more forward it now gives the song a deliciously funky vibe, and brings it on a par with the two songs flanking it, which I never felt was *quite* the case previously. REALLY well done!

    Thank you. This is excellent, a blend of observation, insight and opinion, far beyond the usual mundanities.
    I was listening out for certain things in this new mix and I got them. In short, the codas do their jobs really well now, so the long tracks satisfy. The bookends may have been changed just for the sake of it but I suspect the intention was to make a greater distinction between them and the epic tracks. Works for me anyway. One of my least favourite PF studio albums just jumped up and made me reconsider.
    By all means keep the old mix too, but I say, if you don't own a copy of this album, buy the 2018 remix for sure.

      Animals is like Dark Side of the Moon's darker, edgier brother and both albums can be traced back to The Floyd's 1969 Man and The Journey stage show which built a day in the life storyline around songs from the More soundtrack and Ummagumma.

I am still waiting for my deluxe set to arrive but as far as the cover is concerned I have to go for the new cover possibly because I was driving trains in London for the last 20 years and that is Victoria siding there where I would sit on occasion waiting to take my train into Victoria Station. You might be interested to see the power station now,bit of a transformation.I would be interested to know where you got your Beatles and Zeppelin wall mounts from.

    Great review Michael! Got the vinyl version on Friday. Love the reimagined cover. Cool having an alternate version to hear things anew. The beauty of the Animals album is that, unlike Dark Side, WYWH, and The Wall, none of these songs have been burned out from years of excessive rotation on classic rock radio. Therefore, this album always sounds much fresher. 🐖 🐕 🐑👍

      Seriously though, while I always prefer mixes I grew up on (OK, Boomer - and I’m not even a Boomer!), I am open to remixes with the knowledge that it supplants nothing, just offers a different (and sometimes refreshing) perspective. The only exception to that rule for me is Let it Be…Naked, which I think is much superior to the original album, both mix-wise and track list-wise.
      The new Animals is a good listen. I prefer some of the original vocals, but love what I’m hearing on the instrumentation overall. And even more than most Floyd epics, this is best listened to in one immersive sitting. Great, great album.
      The original sleeve is one of their best, but I really do love this new cover. When you look at the incredible changes made to that whole Battersea area and the upscale affluence it now represents, the new cover is again a perfect symbol for this updated remix.

    These remixes are done mainly so the surround sound can be developed. Unfortunately, most people will only get the stereo version as they don't have the systems to hear the surround sound but it's for the surround sound that this has been done. That by the way is superb, not as dynamic as Dark Side of the Moon but it hasn't got the sound effects that album has. Similar to Wish You Were Here, superb.
    The stereo however, will never replace the original version.

    I'm not sure how I feel about remixing this album, or any PF work. Floyd is my absolute favorite band, with Wish You Were Here being my #1, and since I've listened to their catalog countless times, there's a certain expectation of that sound going in to it, so any alterations may just soil the experience. I'll reserve judgement until I hear the remix, but I have to say I have reservations going into it.

    Seems like to me that if the music is good enough originally, then trying to improve it will leave an aspect less than before. It is like you only have so much money to spend and if you give more in one area, you have to take away in other areas. Just my thoughts.

  • @nicksallnow-smith7585

    I have commented before I think about my view of the key role of Roger Waters in Pink Floyd. My strongly held view is that ,while the other members where are great musicians, the creative genius was Roger alone. His role gradually increased from Obscured by Clouds onwards. When I play Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, and The Final Cut in sequence, I hear the same incredible genius at work. If I then play Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell the creative impulse is completely different, and to my ears much less compelling. If, on the other hand, I go on to play Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Radio Kaos and Amused to Death I hear exactly the same creative feel. Gilmore was a brilliant guitarist but he did not produce the creative output that rivets the listener to his chair. This even comes through in the live performances. Compare Pulse led by Gilmore, with In the Flesh led by Roger. In my opinion Andy Fairweather Low and Snowy White stand in very well for David Gilmour, and to my ears the rendition of Floyd classics is more intense and exciting then what you hear in Pulse. When you consider Roger is the only original member in the former with three of the four in the latter this is very telling. This is a very long way round saying that I believe the Animals is a Roger Waters album with some brilliant guitar work by Gilmore.

    Hi Michael, something that bothers me a little bit about this new mix is the drums. It is nice that they are powerful and clear but they are relatively devoid of reverb. To me they sound incongruous when compared to the rest of the Floyd catalogue and stick out like a sore thumb here. They're too dry for me. Sounds a bit odd. Be interested to hear your thoughts on this. Cheers! Christian, UK

    • @pavinder
      @pavinder Před rokem +1

      Completely agree. In the new mix, the power and resonance of the drums have been completely lost. Listening to the long instrumental passages in Dogs for example, originally the drums were this deep resonant leviathan thump supporting the entire piece, but now they've been stripped back to a tighter - and quieter - little thud.

    On the 5.1 mix, the bass and drums are inconsistant on the three main songs. Pigs being the heaviest which was cool, but Dogs was wimpy. The drums were very forward on Sheep but not the bass. It was interesting to hear it differently after 45 years but it was a flawed remix imo, and yeah the guitar solos were sometimes thin and kind of cruddy.
