minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•5 months agoIt’s an okay album. It’s a rock opera. It’s very melodramatic. There are some great songs. I go back and forth on Animals or Meddle as their best record, with Wish You Were Here close behind. Definitely The Wall feels much more like the solo Roger stuff than the best of Floyd. Though the real purists only like the Barrett stuff.
minus-square@mindbleachlink1•5 months agoIt’s Animals. If every track besides “Dogs” sucked, it’d still be a top-five album, because of “Dogs.” But “Pigs” and “Sheep” are damn near as good. I love the hell out of Meddle, but that’s 90% "Echoes* being a peak example of long-form prog. Side one is just… okay.
