>>61355613
>>61354590

Gilmour and Waters are grumpy morons
>>61356273

>>61356346
sid vicuous > syd barret
Prog era:
Animals > Dark Side of the Moon > Atom Heart Mother > WYWH
Psych, Experimental era:
A Saucerful of Secrets > Paper At The Gates > Ummagumma
>>61356346
Madcap
>>61355613
Exactly, wot's... uh the deal?
>>61356346
peel session
>>61354590
ha ha charade you are
the wall is extremely overrated imo, it's just waters jerking off to himself
>>61356380
>OST:
ObC > More
>Roger "my daddy died in WW2, so I'll make some albums" Waters era:
The Wall > Final Cut
>Post-Waters era:
Division Bell > Endless River > A Momentary Lapse
>>61356380
Roger Era:
The Wall > The Final Cut
David Era:
A Momentary Lapse of Reason > The Division Bell > The Endless River
I think David Era's albums had the best album covers and titles, but were not nearly as good lyrically as Roger's stuff.
Question, should I bother getting into post-The Wall albums? I already listened to most of the albums prior
>>61356570
Why not? Just don't expect anything too great.
>>61356494
agreed, I thought it was the greatest album ever in high school, but it's probably more like a 6/10. if they trimmed it down to one disc and added some more energy it would be an 8/10
>>61354590
Should I bother listening to The Endless River?
>>61356688
and with less obvious metaphors
>GET IT, THE WALL SYMBOLIZES DISCONNECTION AND ISOLATION FROM PEOPLE HURHURHURUHR SO CLEVER
>>61354590
/mu/ is full of faggots who will never admit that ,objectively, DSOTM is the best album
Only edgy infantiles think animals is a better album mostly because it backhandedly criticises "normies". It's not even a fuking original idea, they took it from Animal Farm
People are going to ignore me or call me pleb, pretentious, the list goes on
But my favorite Floyd album is this. I think the weirder more abstract they got the better. And with Abbey Road studios chalk full of the latest technology, sound library, equipment... everything at their disposal, they made their most experimental and most psychedelic work.
On a more personal note, it is absolutely that much more stellar under the influence of marijuana or psychedelic drugs
>>61356927
saying albums are 'objectively' the best is really stupid.
>>61356927
>DSOTM
>original idea
Dark Side of the Moon is literally about life and death, what you experience everyday, what i experience everyday, what we all experience everyday, so, it's nothing new either
>>61356927
Have you even read Animal Farm?
>>61357077
exactly
>>61357077
Have you? it's a known fact it drew inspiration from Animal farm. you can search it online, fag
>>61357133

>>61356346

>>61356494

live or studio
>>61357247
both, but I lean more towards the studio

The characters are loosely based on those from Animal Farm, but the concept is totally different. Animal Farm is a criticism of the Stalin-controlled Soviet Union (Communism), while Animals is a criticism on capitalism.
Also, you're avoiding the question: Have you read Animal Farm? I have.
>>61357582 (me)
also, your source states:

"As far as I have been able to determine, any direct influence of Animal Farm on Animals is very limited."
>>61357582
> The characters are loosely based on those from Animal Farm
great that you agree with me and the rest of the population.
Yes I have read it, edgelord
>>61357775
The concepts are completely different, though.
>>61356927
>it backhandedly criticises "normies". It's not even a fuking original idea, they took it from Animal Farm
no they did not
>>61354590
What should I listen to if I want more stuff like Animals? It's honestly one of the best things I've ever listened to.
>>61358607
Lonerism

Exactly
Roger Waters: Great Storyteller. Interesting Musical Mind. Horribly Retarded Economic/Politic Sense.
Every other member of Pink Floyd: Decently Competent Musicians.
