It’s their best album ever but $13 for 5 songs, 3 of which are “album only” is absolutely absurd. Go on yt and screen record them for free.
My Personal Favorite Pink Floyd Album
5
By Stratocaster King
I love Pink Floyd, they are probably my favorite band of all time and Animals is my favorite album ever. Despite being only 5 songs long, this album manages to make long epic masterpieces. Dogs is my favorite Floyd song hands down. Pigs is also incredible and Sheep is also amazing and really underrated. This album is truly a must listen for any Pink Floyd fan.
Their best

If you are just discovering Pink Floyd via the release of Dark Side Live and 50th Anniversary versions, this is the next album to buy. It represents everything they were. The Wall, although more popular was more of a forced effort to confirm. This is true Pink Floyd. Turn down the lights and turn up the music. It’s magic!

So besides Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" that was the only album I loved from the band. One day as I was listening to my rock mix on Spotify and the song "Dogs" came on. Despite it being a 17 minute song, I actually like the song. As a matter of fact, when I drive home from work, I find myself listening to the whole entire album at least twice a week. I do agree with most of the post when many said it was an underrated album. They are correct. Definitely on my Christmas list of albums I want to own. Beside "Dogs" my favorite songs are "Sheep" and "Pigs on the Wing 2"
Just not there!

It’s like the band was stuck in a rut after Wish You Were Here! They tried too hard on focusing on long compositions & really hurt the writing over all!! Just never felt “it” with this album!!
HUGE FLoYD fan

I bought this album on 8-track back when it was first released. I’m a HUGE PF/Dave Gilmour fan and consider DG the Grand Master of all guitar masters. A couple of his guitar solos are the only guitar works by anyone that have brought a tear or two to my eyes. I consider both post Waters albums, “A Momentary Lapse Of Reason” and “The Division Bell”, to be true MASTERPIECES of musical artistry that are nearly up there with “The Dark Side Of The Moon”! So I’ve TRIED to like the songs of the “Animals” album. Lord knows I’ve tried. But they do nothing at all for me :-(
Try the 2018 Remaster

By Patlmac
This is a great album for sure… I have been listening to it for decades. But I recently stumbled upon the 2018 remaster, and it is hard to express how much better this remaster is than the original. This is not just some duplicate copy with the hissing and cracking cut out. It’s been remixed with all of the right things fixed, and all of the right things left alone. Fuller, deeper, wider, brighter … I might not listen the original again. Seriously.
You got to be crazy!!

Not the Pink Floyd album people wanted, but the one people needed

While Animals isn’t my favorite Pink Floyd album, it’s easily my second favorite.
The whole concept of the album is very prescient and timeless. Sure, it’s loosely based on the writings of Orwell, but I think that those themes combined with the music of this album really brings it to life in ways that a written or spoken word can’t. Honestly, I think it would be interesting to see an Animal Farm or 1984 film that fits with Pink Floyd’s music.
The three epics in this album have this feeling of anger, confusion, envy, and existentialism: all things that we continue to experience in modern capitalist society. Every time I listen to this album, it’s a new experience and gets me to think even more. And I think the album cover of the Battersea Power Station with the flying pig is probably the best representation for what they wanted to show what this album was all about. And it’s also my favorite album cover.
Maybe people, including many Pink Floyd fans, don’t like this album and I’m not sure why. I think it’s because it’s very overtly political and not subtle. But then at the same time, will praise The Wall (my favorite Pink Floyd album), which is not subtle whatsoever. But, I think when you listen to Animals, you will find some much within it lyrically and musically.
Of the epics, my favorites are:
Sheep
Dogs
Pigs
All are great songs though. You all should give it a listen.
Heavy Floyd

By Zillowappsucks
Definitely the group’s heaviest album. David Gilmour’s playing on this album is ridiculous. If you love classic rock guitar, this album is like the Gold Standard. It has it all. Acoustic, multiple solos, harmonies, feedback, overdubs. Animals delivers.
Classic Acid Rock in the Barnyard!

I’ve been listening to this album since it first came out. There’s a bit of genius in the comparisons made between human and animal behavior. If you get it, make sure you get all five parts in the proper order.
Happy Listening!
Will never get tired of this gem

I love Pink Floyd pretty much unconditionally. I’m into all their different eras, respect everything for what it is, and I just love it all. But this album? This is something else entirely. From the captivating grip “Dogs” manages to hold over you from the moment the needle drops, despite its long length, to the catchy “Pigs (Three Different Ones)”, and the simplicity of both the intros and outros, Pigs On the Wing, this album is a masterpiece. Oh and don’t forget “Sheep” too! Gotta love “Sheep”! This was my first PF album on vinyl, and rightly so. It’s mind blowing. I played dogs for my sister, and although she initially scoffed at its hefty length, she was enthralled by it. This album manages to amaze new fans every time and in my opinion, it is by far the best thing that came out after dsotm.
Pink Floyd at it's best. (almost)

Without "The Wall" or "Animals", "Dark Side of the Moon" puts Pink Floyd in the Rock and Roll HOF. I love their first 2 albums. The Wall is one of those perfect storms. Wow. I remember years ago my younget son was looking out the window as I was playing "Dogs". When he heard the dogs barking he thought they were someones dogs barking in the distance. He said, "those dogs are going to get into trouble". So cute.
Possibly the best album ever
