On 18 January 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to Animals (album). The result of the discussion was not moved. |
Gilmour is doing back vocals on Dogs (song 2), the harmony under himself, at around 6:55 min. "you'll reap the harvest you have sown" and after "the bad blood slows and turns to stooooonnnnnneeeeee..." and after that also, in that same song. I don't have any sources for that, our human ears should be enough. I suggest adding an "harmony vocals" on song 2 for Gilmour.
Also, I think it's misleading that the songs are identified by their number on A (1-2) and B (1-2-3), and just under, in the credits section, we refer to it as 1-2-3-4-5. I would put Side A : 1-2 and Side B : 3-4-5.

the final sentence of the article's intro says, "It initially received mixed reviews, but gained more favourable reviews in later years, and is considered one of the band's best works."
Does this not require citations? 2600:6C40:667F:E9A9:568:21A:11EA:2F11 ( talk) 13:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
In the Packaging section, nestled between two paragraphs (actually, what should be at least three paragraphs, above, and one below) is this non-sequitur:
During the Isles of Wonder short film shot by Danny Boyle and shown as part of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the camera zooms down the length of the River Thames, from a small spring in the countryside all the way to the Olympic venue. During the fly-by, a pig can be seen floating above Battersea Power Station.
It's (first-party) cited, but nevertheless one might note that it's not actually about the Animals album or its packaging at all. It's the sort of random trivia that, if anything, belongs in a "References" or "In popular culture" section — or it would, if those weren't discouraged in general. But them being discouraged doesn't mean these things should just be inserted into the rest of the article instead. FeRDNYC ( talk) 01:57, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Bensci54 ( talk) 18:23, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Animals (Pink Floyd album) → Animals (album) – I decided to look into why this album is so specifically disambiguated, and I saw that while there are multiple albums called Animal at Animal (disambiguation), there are only two plurally named Animals without a definite article preceding it, this and an album by the band This Town Needs Guns. Between the fact that page views for the Pink Floyd album are in the thousands for the last month alone, while the TTNG album only managed around a dozen per day in that time, Googling "Animals (album)" almost exclusively brings up results for this album as well as eponymous releases by the band the Animals (which contain the definite article in them, establishing the distinction immediately). To me, this seems like the WP:PDAB in this situation. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 17:57, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
