All the albums ive reacted to (BLOCKED!!) PATREON NOW!! Available on patreon now $3 for all of them! www.patreon.com Meddle ✅ Dark Side Of The Moon ✅ Wish You Were Here ✅ Animals ✅ The Wall ✅ Live at Pompeii (directors cut)✅

I'm 52 and a lifelong Floyd fanatic. Animals is my favourite album. This is the best reaction video I've seen and I've watched a few. Love seeing you enjoy something I first heard 40 years ago. You reminded me of myself hearing it for the first time. There never has and never will be a band to touch Floyd. Thanks for the vid. Keep up the great work.

Some of Roger's grittiest and greatest writing on this album

Definitely some of David’s filthiest guitar work on this album. Such a sense of urgency and rawness. Just incredible. Plays the bass too, and quite impressively, on tracks 3 and 4.

The lyrics and filthy guitar work on "Dogs" is insanity. The way the vocals move in and out while the drums pop in and out is just as amazing. Dogs is my favorite song on the Animals album. Everything about it is perfect.

Pink Floyd Meddle is a great underappreciated album.

best band of all times 😎👍

" you radiate cold shafts of broken glass " what a line It's awesome to see another generation blown away by this incredible music

I don't know how anybody can listen to this album and not break out in goosebumps! David Gilmore is a unique guitar sound that can't be replicated. Such a great band

I'm 73 and have been a PF fan since Saucer Full of Secrets back in the 60's. Animals has been in a flip flopping race between Animals and DSOTM as my favorite. Somehow Animals wins out most times as my all time favorite PF album. I love that you do the WHOLE ALBUM as it was intended and all PF music was meant to be listened to. THERE ARE NO PF SONGS!! There is only PF EXPERIENCE. Each album is like a piece of art meant to be enjoyed as a whole. Keep up your reviews of such groups that did CONCEPT ALBUMS. PF, Moody Blues and many other bands in that era totally disregarded AM radio demands and never sold out to the 3:00 to 4:00 minute demands of commercial radio and stayed true to their art. Though tunes like Money became AM hits it didn't matter and that's why you are so impressed as with many other reactors today 60 years later that not only did their music matter back then it matters NOW!!! Enjoy the rabbit hole and as always. Entire Album, head phones and fire one up, turn out the lights lay back and enjoy!!

When Pink Floyd toured this album, (and even afterward) they used to fly a HUGE pig around the stadium! The younger generations have missed so many great bands from the boomer generation. I am sooo happy to see ya'll enjoying the music that I grew up on!

"It's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around" is my absolute favorite lyrics line ever.

Dude. It is a delight to see you jam out to this masterpiece. My all time favorite Pink Floyd album. Intentially meant to be impossible to put on the radio, Dave Gilmour and Richard Wright absolutely murder on this album (and Roger Waters and Nick Mason are also fucking fantastic too). The lyrics are dark and real as fuck, and YOU KNOW ITS ALL TRUE. you know pigs, sheep,. dogs and the whole thing. It hits like a sledgehammer right into the head. also, loving to see you getting into GIlmour's guitar work. He is able to say with a single note what other guitarists might try to say in a hundred, and they usually still fail. Gilmour is one of the all time greatest guitarist, and this album is his finest work, in my honest opinion.

So glad to see this reacted to as required - front to back - bravo!!! What an epic commentary on life in '70s Britain - lyrically, this is Roger at his most bitter, yet best. Pink Floyd don't simply plug into amps - they plug directly into your mind and soul.

Props for being a true Floyd fan, first time or not. You listen, and think, and experience it. Awesome!

One of my favourite albums of all time, one I have listened to many times. I was 9 on release and listened to it as a young teen years later. It is a masterpiece

David Gilmour also played all the Bass on this album. Roger is credited with Vocals and acoustic guitar. Waters as he did for many of their albums came up with the album concept that ties the songs together. Richard Wright's great synth lead playing is epic on this record

I so miss the "Laser Floyd" shows at the planetariums!

00:38 Animal Farm video summary 14:21 Pigs on the Wing 1 15:48 Dogs 34:14 Pigs 46:00 Sheep 56:03 Pigs on the Wing 2

At 76 I still listen to PF almost every day.

That was really cool to add that part with “Animal Farm”. Roger said that the album is based loosely on this book. Thank you 👍

Imagine those of us who are a little older and got to see this done live by Pink Floyd in 1977!! I saw this at the madhouse on McDowell which is where the Phoenix Suns used to play. They played all of "Animals" took a short break and all of "Wish You Were Here" and then they came out and played half of "Dark Side of the Moon" for the encore!! One of four Pink Floyd concerts I've seen in my life and this one was probably the best with Roger Waters, Gilmore, Richard Wright and Nick Mason and Snowy White a second guitarist, all with the group and they were in their Prime!! Pink Floyd is probably the only group when my wife and I drove home we couldn't speak because we were speechless after those Floyd concerts. Probably Zeppelin and AC/DC too but that Floyd concert was beyond description! I saw at least a dozen people being carried out of that concert physically because they just could not take the intensity of the atmosphere and the music and everything going on!! I'll never forget!!

As a 57 year old Floyd fan I can say without a doubt that your reactions are 100% authentic as you squirm and squeal at all the right moments !

Say goodbye to hip hop !!! welcome Pink Floyd !!

With a couple of albums under your belt, I think most would agree that you now qualify to be a Floydian. I have been one for 50 years and I wholeheartedly welcome you to the world of Floyd. Continue on my fellow Floydian and prepare for more enlightening journeys. You will forever be changed and better for it. Thank you for a great reaction!! The door is now open.

The transitions within their music are amazing. Everything is seemless. This is art!

Pigs is easily one of my top 20 all time favorite songs. I love that you particularly appreciated the disses. “You radiate cold shafts of broken glass!” Is my favorite.

I saw the "Animals" tour at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1977. We were on 3rd base. When the giant pig exploded we could feel the heat and concussion. Amazing show!

Watching Lil J Listen to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time is like reliving the day I heard it for the first time, the day it came out. I am totally exhausted. It literally took my breath away - again. I had forgotten how much this album had affected my life! Thank you so much for reminding me how much Pink Floyd has meant to me my whole life, this album came out over 50 years ago and I remember it like was yesterday, which is pretty hard to do considering it was in the 70s! 😂

Starting with Animal Farm... mate.. Person of culture. Absolutely great reaction. This album is utterly savage, and has stuck with me to this day.

I first heard this when it came out in '77 and I was 15yrs old. Glad to see that young people like you many generations later are getting the same kick as I did from music excellence!

Great album ! Back in 77 we listened to this with in my car with speakers in the back and front. The sound would travel around to each speaker way cooler than headphones. You can get the same effect with surround sound 5 speakers and a subwoofer.

Love. Respect. Totally Appreciate your personal Love of this music artistry. Peace man. I am now 61 years old. I grew up with this music. Bought the album when it was released and only the Universe knows how many times I have listened to it. Never gets old in my opinion. Very deep and philosophical and produced by True Artists.

I genuinely cackled out loud to "is that a synth?" Yes sir, with this band, there was almost always a synth in some form. Love this reaction brother.

Dogs🔥🔥🔥

Don't worry too much about associating the songs with "Animal Farm". The album is only VERY loosely based on it, only as far as picking certain animal species as metaphors. One crucial difference is that Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a satire of the Russian Revolution and communism, while Pink Floyd's "Animals" is a bitter vision of its polar opposite, capitalism, and more specifically about the recording industry, about which Roger Waters was particularly resentful and embittered at the time. The pigs are those who hold the strings of everything, billionaires and politicians. Dogs are executives who serve them and think they're great, until they discover that they've just been used by the pigs, and they herd the mass of sheep (just about everyone else). A sad irony is what happened to that building on the record cover, the Battersea Power Station, a coal-fired electric power plant in the Eastern part of London. At the time the album was made, the plant had been decommissioned and was derelict, and the surrounding neighborhood was totally blighted. Now it's been renovated into a flashy, expensive shopping mall with designer brands for the dogs, to which the sheep also flock happily when they can, and the neighborhood has been gentrified and is now a trendy place. The pigs won.

Only you could deliver this as excellent as it is with your personal character & insight. I am 67. I was in the US Submarine service when this came out. My life & mind's eye are filled with visions & memories linked to every second of every song from Echoes to the Wall. Unmatched by any other group of musicians. Your appreciation is enjoyable. Now get out there & take the music with you & see what happens.

Genius + Genius + Genius + Genius = Pink Floyd!

Animal Farm is a great book and it’s actually a pretty quick read. Orwell also wrote “1984”. Before he became an author, Orwell worked in MI5 (England’s version of the C.I.A.)

Sorry for being late to the show. "Wave upon wave of demented avengers marching cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream" Damn what a line.

Spot on reaction. "Obscured by clouds" a criminally underlooked classic album should (imo) be pencilled in for your enjoyment. You wont be disappointed. Keep em coming tho. Its a buzz seeing others get the buzz. Cheers

People argue about which is their most classic and impactful album. Dark Side, Wish You were Here, The Wall. For me it’s always been Animals. I actually think the bookend songs (Pigs on the Wing), detract from the impact of those three main songs. Those three songs are as good as it gets. And yes, keep listening my man. I’ve listened to these songs most of my life. Not only do they not get old, it always sounds fresh and new. I am always amazed and taken aback to here something I’d never heard before, or some nugget of wisdom that I didn’t quite get when I was younger. Every note, every word, is just complete perfection 😊

I'm so glad you listen to entire albums vs. just one song. I love watching you enjoy the music of my youth. I'm still listening to it, there's nothing like it.

Good on you Lil J. So glad you discovered this mastery of music

Great to see your reaction to this. Over time Animals has become my favourite Floyd album, Gilmour's guitar playing is totally insane. Those solos in Dogs give me goosebumps every time 😃

That was a blast. I love this album. It has aged well. Great to see your positive reaction to an underrated gem. Including the Animal Farm summary at the beginning was a perfect touch.

I appreciate your comments and your intellect and thank you very much.❤

The music will drag you in and the lyrics will gut you. It doesn't hurt that they had one of the best guitarists ever.

Some of this album is so paralyzing that I often forget to breathe.

Love your reactions to Floyd , I’m a longtime Floydian . This is my favorite album ❤

Props for starting with animal farm

Their best album in my opinion. I'm 57 and my oldest brother (RIP Jeff) used to play this all the time in his room down the hall. Got introduced to a lot of great bands via older brothers. This album is amongst many and one of my favorites by far. Did I hear the dog? Have been for decades now. Great reaction....thank you.

Animals is not a musical version of the novel Animals by George Orwell. It only takes the characters like pigs, dogs and sheep from it. See Wikipedia for everything on Pink Floyd’s Animals album. Animals is a very underrated PF album. I think it’s one of their best.

this is always the pink floyd album that i keep coming back to listen to is pretty epic.

“Dark Side of the Moon”, is in it’s own category. “Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, “The Wall”, in that order. Of course that’s only one 64 year old man’s opinion. In the 70s and 80s I’ve seen all those albums in concert.

Excellent you watched the Animal Farm explanation first. It's a very important book, and although everyone talks about 1984, this book should be required reading for students. Great album and this was awesome. Your reaction was really fantastic to a favorite album of mine

This album came out when I was fifteen and my parents couldn’t understand but I was hooked. Great album and yea got to see them once and it was an amazing concert. 🤘🏻blaze on brother

Forgive me for not saying anything useful, but I just had to comment again for the algorithm because I loved this reaction so much. Not everyone gets how awesome this album is for me. This was perfect. I really appreciate your great reaction. Thank you sir!

Subbed when I saw the blunt getting torched. Awesome reaction Lil J

Well done ! The animal farm intro was the warm up to the bang on the head nice. Aye memories. Yes Pink Floyd can send you to other places.

dogs might be one of the best songs of all time

Dude in 1978 me, my cousin and best friend rode around listening to this on mushrooms in the Utah mountains from SLC to Ogden. We got out and climbed a ridge watched a lightning storm and it rained on us so hard we slid down the water created by a deluge. We got back in the car drove out of Weber canyon at dusk and watched the planes from Hill Air Force base take off bank towards us then head out over the Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake. Trippy as hell and we all remember that day very well with Pink Floyd being a large part of it. Thanks for memories from someone who appreciates the “trippiness” of it all.

I appreciate that you pay attention to the lyrics. So many people get caught up in the music and forget the lyrics. That's understandable when you're listening to something new. But the lyrics in Pink Floyd are just so good that they are just as important as the music itself.

I was at the Animals tour in 1977 in Philly. Great time great music. Dogs represent the Corporate Owners…Pigs are the handlers of the workers…Sheep are the little people. It’s a very timely metaphor for the class struggle.

special person you are bro

Loving watching these reactions to pink Floyd and watching the raw filth dig deep into your soul. And tripping while listening is another new level you have to see. 45yrs and still get the same emotions. Its classical music with lyrics. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚

Hell yeah, been waitin for this. I think Dark Side is their best album as a whole, but Dogs by itself is tough to beat.

Although not a P.F. album but to me Roger Water's " Amused to Death" is a lyrical masterpiece. Written after seeing the Gulf War live on TV. Roger was the song writer for must of the Floyd and Dave was the musical genius.

This made me so happy to see you listening to this.. I love how you educated everyone what is up an your amazing young man. ✌🏼💗😊

One of my favorites for sure. Awesome job bro!

Great review man , incredible band, respect from 🇬🇧, great channel bye the way!!

Great video. Respectful and thorough reaction to a classic✌🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽

YEAHHHH J, IT WAS A GREAT GREAT SHOW IN 77 TOO, FOR THE ( ANIMALS ) TOUR :) I WAS JUST 17 AND GETTING READY TO ENTER THE MILITARY LIFE AND WOUND UP SERVING FOR 35 YEARS ( 77-2012 ) :) HIGHERRRRR THAN A KITE, PARTYING HARD AT CONCERTS BEFORE I ENTERED THE AIR FORCE J :) GOOD WORK YOUNG MAN, LOVED HOW YOU COULD TALK SOFTLY WITHOUT BREAKING! LOVED THAT FOR SURE.YOU'RE LOVING YOU SOME OF GREAT REALLLLL ROCK HUH? CLASSICCCCC ROCK!

my fav Floyd album. Gilmour puking out guitar chords via talk box with dogs howling , you know its well past midnight , u feel the cold through ur bones as Gilmour slowly amps up his guitar into a crescendo i can still feel the tension in my stomach cramping ,,,, i am alone , always alone when its Dogs playing...

My favorite album by them. 🔥🙌🏼💥 David on guitars (including most of the bass I believe) on this one. Richard on keys/synths, Nick on drums and Roger’s lyrics. Sticky icky is as much as I ever needed!

Dude that was great! You GET it. 👍🏾👍🏾

Excellent choice for a review. Nicely done. And you were very respectful toward the meaning of what I believe to be Pink Floyd's best overall album. Thanks and good luck!

So glad you covered this. A little education on the way things are. And also, your sound system is awesome! I can hear things I’ve missed

Thanks lil j for your service , your one ,full albums is the way , thanks again,

You did not just say that 🎉 welcome to the wonderful world of PINK FLOYD

Great reaction! my favourite album of all time ❤

I was in 7th grade riding with my friends sister and bf. This was in the tape player and I said this sounds like Floyd. He said yes it is the new album. I fell in love that night. I consider it Floyd doing punk rock. Have loved it since 47 years now.

I’m almost to the end of this! Want to say thank you! I am 56 I was a Pink Floyd listening teenager and listened to this a million times Have t listened in like 10 years or more You helped me hear this and hear things with a whole different perspective I never really heard it If that makes sense Wish more peopl would check this out Thank you soo much What a total pleasant experience!

Thank you for this reaction and showing the book at the beginning. Never new the animal farm story . Makes the album more enjoyable.

Bringing back Memories. This is a Masterpiece 🫵 Good choice.....

My heart had been beating quick too, Bro 😇 tyvm 🙏

Pulls no punches . One of their best things .

As I watch you listen to the story of Animal Farm, my feelings of despair increase. The idea that folks of your generation are entirely unfamiliar with a book that was required reading when I was in public school is disturbing. But even more disturbing is your apparent lack of recognition that the story of Animal Farm echoes the recent history of humanity, some of which is presently replaying itself. Don't be a sheep. Don't be a victim of propaganda, Don't be a victim of ignorance. Take notice of history, and don't let others rewrite it.

masterpiece , another one whole way through, this for me was pink floyds most commercial listening album, i mean for the layman who doesnt know anything about pf I mean, easy listening album, obviously the other one is momentary lapse of reason, but for me wish you were here album is number one, darkside of the moon 2nd, 3rd is about 4 pink floyd albums equally as good. this album is underrated though too. With roger waters brain and davids paying ability and voice unstoppable force

Great reaction to my favorite PF album ❤

Takes you on a journey! Keep up the good work

Dude I felt the exact same way, we all did

Old guy is oñ point!! Agreed, Moody Blues, Emerson Lake &Palmer ,check out all.Also...I like your intro 💙 to English Lit 101.Rock on,Young Blood is!!!(check out Jimi to)😊

Thank you.....I loved this !! Pink Floyd is ALWAYS an experience !!!

I was MAJORLY disappointed in the critics' review of this album, when it was first reviewed back in 1977 . . . this is clearly some of the best work that Pink Floyd ever did. One of my favorites. I was fortunate to see Pink Floyd perform live 5 times when living in New York. They dedicated a full concert to the release of this album, which was the entirety of the first half of the concert. They performed songs from past albums during the second half (after a short intermission). These guys were simply the best fully-sensual experience, in concert . . . both sights and sounds ! No one compares ! Thanks Lil J, for reviewing this !

Great reaction!

Pink Floyd road-tested most of this material for two years before we heard it on vinyl. That’s why it’s musically flawless! Even though we hardly understood any of the meaning when it first came out. I remember a Brit classmate explaining Animals’ many lyrics phrases (and UK politics references) that had us baffled; then it all made sense.

I saw this live at Soldiers Field in Chicago. Speaker towers placed throughout the whole stadium. The PA was so powerful that no part was ever distorted in any way. It was like tens of thousands of people wearing the same surround sound headset. Hard to imagine, right?

Hands down their best album, period.

Just found you, happy to see you love my life long best band. BTW, David is playing in NY in November and Ill be there ! Old master is 78 and still the best IMO. There is an album missing on your list. Might not be #1 but well worth a reaction. Please do Division Bell when you can. High Hopes on that album is gorgeous (top 5 for me) and the whole album is also great work.
