Pink Floyd’s Animals is a rather disapointing affair on all counts. Sixties psychedelia is now dated and trite; likewise is a genre known as Space rock. Animals falls somewhere between the two.The new album lays bare Pink Floyd's limited musical abilities. Most of the material here is stuffed with long, incompetent guitar solos that serve mainly as filler. Music never was Pink Floyd’s strongpoint; it was always the demented illusions and the wonderfully crazy imaginations of its members that made them unique as well as famous.Roger Water’s lyrics are an exercise in pretension. Song Titles like “Pigs,” “Dogs,” and “Sheep” are used in an illiterate Orwellian adaptation of Animal Farm. These themes, pretending to carry some weighty offering of politicial and social significance, are most often silly; especially when combined with a whole barnyard of sound effects.
