Animals
A Different Direction, But Still Five Stars
Pink Floyd is probably the best artistic music group to come out of the
Twentieth century, and this album is as good as anything in their
discography. The album transcends pop music, and has become an
underrated iconic work of art portraying modern humankind. But I could
also say that about most of their albums. For me, this one paints pictures
in your head about who you really are in this society, and leaves you
feeling empty, wondering what it is we are missing. Not to try and bring
you down, but by displaying this metaphor, Pink Floyd helps us to
understand we are not alone in our misery. By releasing this album, as
well as many others, they show us what they are feeling, and it is the same
emotions we are feeling. I usually consider myself a Sheep, but have often
related to the Dog story as well. Especially the line, And when you lose
control, Youll reap the harvest you have sown. But it is not beyond me to
become a Pig in this contemporary age. Which animal do you resemble?
The music is great, but most people dont get the long, meloncholy
metaphorical compositions. Everybody likes quick snappy songs that you
can dance to, and very few understand that music is probably the most
emotional and powerful artform in existence. This music take s time to
listen to. It is an album to play whenever, whether you are working,
driving, relaxing, self medicating, sleeping, this is the soundtrack to your
life. Pink Floyd was so ahead of their time in everything they did; they still
sound futuristic here in the twenty-first century.
If you like music as an artform, this is for you, if you like mindless music
industry products, go buy the latest American Idol winners CD. In my
humble opinion, it is better than The Wall, and Dark Side of the Moon, but
not by much.
