Excellent
Another great album that mixes rock and roll and pink floyd's spaced out jams together very nicely. More sound effects then in Wish You Were Here but, like all Pink Floyd albums, it is a different style than the others.

Orwell Revisited
Better known for their album "Dark Side of the Moon", here the band Pink Floyd presents "Dark Side of the Farm", the un-real estate in question being George Orwell's novel about the unsavory consequences of a barnyard revolution. Always fans of unsavory consequences, Pink Floyd presents three animal characters from the novel.Conceptually, the album seems an interesting insight into American culture. The sheep are ignorant consumers shepherded by businessmen who are little more than wolves in sheep's clothing , and the whole affair is managed by a bunch of capitalist pigs. Musically, the album isn't quite as revolutionary as "Dark Side of the Moon" - maybe the band wanted to rewrite a novel or maybe state of the art electronic musical effects aren't quite state of the art anymore. Nonetheless, it's still rock n' roll to me and the tune "sheep" is a genuine thrill ride for fans of good, hard rock. "Dogs" is more concerned with its lyrics and "Pigs" presents a thought provoking trio of movers & shakers - a businessman, a politician and a homeless, aging hag.
I got this album as an aging "baby boomer" who first experienced it as a vinyl LP and could have gotten the better known work, but perhaps I'd heard it too often. "Animals" is therefore a good alternative for Pink Floyd fans a little jaded by excessive radio overplay decades ago.
