Well Animals has three epic size songs with a variety of themes, melodies and patterns. It seems to be mature work as well but the DSotM still stays the best and most well known Pink Floyd album ever - not because all the songs are like awsome (that they are...) but the whole thing added up gives a great mixture with very well worked songs. I agree to the opinion that in order to rate a floyd album you must hear them nearly all, so take the time to hear slowly all the albums from See Emily Play as a song and Piper at the Gates of Dawn - album till the Wall and the newer ones too, but with the new ones Roger is absent so you must see them from a different point of view.
