Realized this morning that i'd never listened to Dark Side of the Moon in full. I listened to it expecting to be impressed but I couldn't sit through the whole thing. I don't know why! I like The Wall though.

That's wild to me.

Then again, my boss says he spent the summer after high school cleaning out a chicken house at night while listening to The Wall on repeat. I still haven't been able to look at him the same way since he told me that.

The clock shit is annoying

Too many slow songs

Good album though

"Money" is so awesome

Too many slow songs

Ah, so you're looking for

re the comf numb text those demo lyrics for verse 1 and 2 are indeed p laughable imo peaking at
Listen. I am a physician. And I can handle your condition like a magician.

Listen to some punk groups

While listening to Animals again today, I found myself wondering why it doesn't quite have the reputation that Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall have. To say it's an underrated record would just be plain stupid, as it's considered to be part of Floyd's so-called "classic" run, but where there's been countless articles on the albums before and after, and documentaries made about Dark Side... and Wish You Were Here, and you don't have to look very far online to read someone's geeky analysis of The Wall, Animals just doesn't get the same treatment, as great as it is.

It's also incredible to think that the bulk of Animals and Wish You Were Here was written during the same period, immediately post-Dark Side. Gilmour apparently wanted 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and the tracks that became 'Dogs' and 'Sheep' to be on the same album but Waters disagreed.

because the songs are too long for radio

xp listened to Animals this weekend & thought the same thing - mookieproof OTM

because the songs are too long for radio

"Do I hear dogs barking on that thing?"

Well also it's not "pretty" in the way that Dark Side or Wish are, which probably limits the fanbase.

There wasn't a single. The timeline was pretty compressed, as it is kind of wild to consider only four years pass from Dark Side to Animals. The two records before it were huge and probably threw quite a bit of shadow even on Animals as a new album. And in a couple more years (as Floyd came unglued in the background) an even more expansive and huge radio hit album in the Wall happens. I can kinda see why Animals isn't quite as known taking all that into regard.

I like going back to Animals more frequently because of its unfamiliarity in relation to the albums that surround it.

Animals is a bit of a relative triumph given how the in concert versions of You Gotta be Crazy and Raving & Drooling were so leaden.

I feel the pull of Roy Harper on this record too, especially Stormcock and HQ wrt structure and that kind of righteously ticked off vocal delivery.

Interestingly, once the early years box comes out, it'll be the only studio record left untouched by the reissue project (apart from The Final Cut and who is gonna go *there* in a hurry)

I think of Animals as Floyd's punk album - released in 1977, nasty lyrics, unusually vigorous playing.

vocals on Sheep are pretty David Byrnish

I once asked Guy Pratt if Waters played much bass on the record, the bass on Pigs seemed unusually dextrous for Waters, he just laughed and looked at me like I was an idiot.

The 8-track version of "Pigs on the Wing" with Snowy White guitar solo in the middle rules.

I crack up silly whenever I hear that thing.

I mean, it is good and all. Just sounds out of place after hearing it the other way for 20 years.

Is there anywhere you can listen to or download stereo fold-downs of the various quadrophonic mixes?

haaaaa, hopefully there is a more budget friendly version of this stuff ...

There is, but no idea what's on it:

Cre/ation - The Early Years 1967-1972
Set across 2 CD’s, Cre/ation The Early Years 1967 – 1972 charts the evolution of the band and bears witness to their part in cultural revolutions, from their earliest recordings and studio sessions to the years prior to the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon, one of the biggest selling albums of all time. From the single Arnold Layne to the 24-minute epic Echoes, fans will see the invention of psychedelic progressive rock via an insightful collection that explores the Pink Floyd story from the time Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett met at London’s Regent Street Polytechnic, through to Syd’s departure and David Gilmour joining to form the iconic lineup.

hoping for a remastered version of "Scream Thy Last Scream"

Page has been taken down now but is still on google cache.

They should have made two boxes, one for the Syd years and one for the early Waters years. This is too bloated.

There was a 2cd "1967-1972 Cre\Ation" set there yesterday, "From Arnold Layne to the 22 minute "Echoes" " it looked like it was all previously released stuff, although there was no track listing.

Oh, you said that.

I'd be into a '65-'68 set. I thought there was an Immersion set for the psychedelic era in the pipeline. Thought I'd heard various people say that in various places. So does this mean no that.

&yes way too large a set anyway. Hope they'll break it down smaller later and do it by lp or something. Would like the remastered live stuff and singles etc.

The higher the price, the more likely there'll be knockoff versions and/or downloads. Which leads to a hike in price to cover all the perceived additional listeners, and so on.

It could also be considered to be a cynical ploy to make people in both the Barrett and Waters camps buy the whole set. I would jump at a '69-'72 set but I have no interest in a '65-'68 set, and I'm sure there are many (especially on ILM) who have the reverse view. This way, we have to shell out for both.

Official announcement now up:

http://www.pinkfloyd.com/

All the discs from the big box will be available individually save one, "CONTINU/ATION." Right now it's 318.40 UKP shipped to the US from Amazon UK (~$418), if you're feeling rich (of course, can always cancel your order before shipping date). Sorta tempted, even though I'd also prefer just a Syd-era set.

Fuck I hope rutracker or exystence still "exyst" in a couple of months

Is this a bonus material set or one including the officially released lps?
I can't see the tracks I'm familiar with from the lps listed.
So is this analogous to the Beatles Anthology series rather than an expanded early History?

I bought the early lps when the local HMV had them on sale for the most part anyway but I'd just assumed that this was expanded reissue based rather than all bonus.

Point Me At The Sky again! Has that been re-released any time other than the early singles CD bonus that came with the old box set?

Haven't seen anyone able to make the math work to get to the alleged 27 disc count.

think they're including the 7 inches in the disc count
that 2 CD thing looks like a great listen -- though LOL at them not putting vegetable man on there. that one's gonna cost ya!

What does John Latham signify? are those different takes on well known songs or something? Think it's on disc 2 and there's a stack of them
