Animals is my favorite of the two (and Dogs is my favorite PF song), but since we're supposed to remain objective, I think DSotM is the better album. Both albums are lyrical masterpieces, both make grand statements about life in general, both are musically excellent. But Animals seems too harsh, it really leaves little room for hope. (Other than "You know that I care...") DSotM ends with a small bout of insanity, but the album as a whole seems a million times Brighter than Animals.
Bah, I can't put my finger on it, but I think DSotM is the better album.

i really love the two albums, but if i had to choose only one it would be The Dark Side Of The Moon......i don't really think that DSOTM is better than Animals in any shape or form, i think that they are different albuns, with pretty different lyrics and music.......it just happens that DSOTM really gets me

I have Animals now. One day after my message, I have copied Animals from an lp to my computer and put it on a cd.Feeling Very Pink wrote:Please, please do. Dogs, Pigs' and 'Wing are essential!Syd_Count wrote:I don't have Animals, so I don't know which is best. I only know Sheep which is on Echoes. I'm thinking of buying Animals, but I'm not sure.
I like Pigs three different ones, and Pigs on the wings. But I think Dark Side of the Moon is better, lyrically.

My mood kind of determines which of the two I like better, at the moment I feel inclined towards Animals. Sheep is simply brilliant (my fav from that album), both musically and lyrically (love the guitar work at the end of Sheep). Animals tho as was mentioned before is a harsher, "angrier" album than DSOTM, much more of Waters' brilliantly bitter ranting. I think Gilmour's guitar playing is better on Animals than on DSOTM, often wondered why he sez that album is one of his least liked PF works.
