Animals: Pink Floyd's Orwellian Dystopia | ThisIs ReadyMade

In 1977, Pink Floyd released their tenth studio album simply titled Animals. It was their reinterpretation of the classic George Orwell book Animal Farm and shifted the setting and time frame to make a bleak yet powerful statement on classism, capitalism and the systems we live under. The album - while not the most popular of their golden years (though still wildly successful) - remains incredibly important and interesting all these years later and this video explains why.
