Animals by Pink Floyd: Prog Rock. Based supposedly on Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ the human race is split into Pigs, Dogs and Sheep. Bookended with two short ditties the other three tracks are sprawling and really live up to the prog. label. Roger Water’s lyrics reflect his bitterness, though he was to go much deeper on later albums. Considering this came out the year that punk broke. It holds up well. TWH: Pigs on the Wing part 1; Sheep; Dogs.

Grade: C
