Animals — 1977

A bleak, Orwellian concept album of long, simmering tracks and Gilmour's searing guitar. Angrier and more political than Dark Side. A favourite among devotees. The Pink Floyd record for listeners ready to go beyond the debut.

On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
