This is my take as well. It has dynamics and yet is raw. Now stands up production wise with Wish you were here and DSOTM.

I saw them on this tour at New Bingley Hall Stafford March 1977, and the show was stunning in quadrophonic sound.
Having seen them in Liverpool in 1974 I didn't particularly think Animals was any great shakes.
They recycled two songs that had featured during the 1974/1975 tours, so all we got new was Pigs Three different Kinds and the acoustic song Pigs on The Wing split into two parts.
Having seen the live show I completely changed my mind about the LP Animals and it is right up there with Meddle/DSOTM, WYWH as the best Pink Floyd album.
Hopefully a live concert will follow but I won't hold my breath, Waters and Gilmour have a great dislike for each other and hardly speak to each other. What a shame it had to be like that.

I absolutely adore Animals and it is the record that got me into Pink Floyd. It and The Wall are their masterpieces for me.
Dogs especially is just very special and has that indescribable quality that only the very best music does.

Only seeing this thread now, since the bump.
Punk Floyd? Love it. And I get it too.
I loved this album from the get go. Always thought it was better than The Wall and while hard to say better than DSoTM or Wish You Were Here which truly are Prog Rock timeless classics, it was probably my favourite. The only criticism I ever had of it, was that it was too short.
No its not punk, per se. Punk was necessary for music perhaps and the likes of Floyd or very much Genesis and Yes, were the targets of its revolution.
But what it is, is an attitude to what was going on in the world and Britain in particular that is equal to or more venomous, vitriolic and poignant than anything punk had to offer.
Punk’s main fault to me and the generation that idolised it and nothing else, is that it threw the baby out with the bath water. There were tons of fabulous, honest artists that were tarred with the same brush, as being irrelevant like 1977 was ground zero and nothing before it was entertained.
I agree with much of what was written in here last year.
The Stranglers? The Clash? Were they punk and punk alone? I don’t think so, they were better than that.
Johnny Rotten became a cartoon character of himself.
Having said that, I’ve seen Floyd and Waters several times the last time being Waters in Glasgow this year and frankly he is becoming a cartoon of himself too.
The music is great and speaks for itself but his voice is gone and he filled the spaces in between each song with longer and longer political rants that was actually starting to grate with a lot of the crowd.
Listening to this album again now and I like what they’ve done with it, but tbh I was pretty fond of the original anyway.
