Gilmour (guitar and vocals) and Richard Wright (keyboards), who’d both made significant contributions to The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, were less involved this time around: Between the two, they managed only one co-write (Gilmour on the 17-minute "Dogs"). Not to say the vibe was fully democratic. But Animals, at least sonically, highlighted the old-school all-hands-on-deck spirit that defined their '70s peak. Ironically, the original Animals offered the last taste of their creative balance. Sure, you could make a good argument for their 1979 follow-up, The Wall - a concept album almost entirely spearheaded by Waters - as Pink Floyd’s masterpiece.
