All,
Animals is the greatest of their entire catalogue.
Everyone goes on about The Wall, ra ra ra. If only they put on Animals and let themselves go.
Waters' lyricism at its most cynical, sharp and biting; Gilmour's soaring and inspirational guitar solos with a grand sense of melancholy; Rick Wright's fantastic VCS and key work. Can't really say much for Nick Mason, except that he kept time brilliantly!
If I'm not mistaken, Gilmour wrote and played Waters' bass parts because Waters' couldn't be bothered.
I'm 27, and I shudder at the thought sometimes that that album is 30 years old. It's just mesmerising.
Gilmour's voice is still as angelic today as it was back then, as evidenced on his latest release.
Regards,
Humayun
