The
time is now for a coveted 180-gram LP reissue of the Pink Floyd 1977
classic Animals. The reissue presented here was remixed for the first
time, and remastered, by James Guthrie, Joel Plante and Bernie Grundman
from the original analog tapes. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, it will be
presented in a poly-lined inner sleeve inside a reproduction of the
original LP sleeve.
Animals is a concept album, focusing on the
social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from
the style of the band's earlier work. The album was developed from a
collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the
apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition
to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell's Animal
Farm, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with
pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as
the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the
business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the
other. Although it's been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the
album still resonates today as our social and economic situation mirrors
that of the time.
Animals reached No. 2 in the U.K., and No. 3
in the U.S.. Thanks to the album and the band's back catalog, noted The
Guinness Book of British Hit Albums, "Pink Floyd bested Abba for most
weeks on chart (in 1977), 108 to 106."
NME called Animals "one of
the most extreme, relentless, harrowing and downright iconoclastic
hunks of music to have been made available this side of the sun," and
Melody Maker's Karl Dallas described it as "(an) uncomfortable taste of
reality in a medium that has become in recent years, increasingly
soporific."
