Consisting of three tracks each longer than ten minutes and two tracks under two minutes, Animals is not for the attention- span- deficient. It is the acute anthropomorphic fantasy, possessing a timeless quality that has thrust it into the category of 'classic,' though it may remain forever in the shadow of its more commercially successful older brother, Dark Side Of The Moon. Animals fascinated me then as it still fascinates me today. My brother was in college, and one day I went through his records and listened to the ones with the coolest covers. I admit without qualm that it began for me with Animals.
