Preceded and followed by a pair of all-time album-scale sprawls, Animals is comparatively compact, swinging in with an intro, 3 long songs, and an outro.
It's Floyd at its most traditionally proggy: the songs are twistily structured, dense with atmosphere, and thick with slabs of riffage. It's not super accessible, but it's not all that difficult either: every song creates its space and drifts along at the right pace, providing enough twists to keep things interesting, but stopping short of Yes/Crimson territory, never indulging in any really jarring swerves in timekeeping or tone. Compelling, if powerfully joyless, this is music for wallowing deeply, for wandering indistinctly 3.5/5
