-
Animals
is
a
concept
album,
focusing
on
the
social-political
conditions
of
mid-1970s
Britain,
and
was
a
change
from
the
style
of
the
band’s
earlier
work.
The
album
was
developed
from
a
collection
of
unrelated
songs
into
a
concept
which
describes
the
apparent
social
and
moral
decay
of
society,
likening
the
human
condition
to
that
of
animals.
Taking
inspiration
from
George
Orwell’s
Animal
Farm,
the
album
depicts
the
different
classes
of
people
as
animals
with
pigs
being
at
the
top
of
the
social
chain,
dropping
down
to
the
sheep
as
the
mindless
herd
following
what
they
are
told,
with
dogs
as
the
business
bosses
getting
fat
on
the
money
and
power
they
hold
over
the
other.
Although
it’s
been
a
long
time
since
1977,
the
narrative
of
the
album
still
resonates
today
as
our
social
and
economical
situation
mirrors
that
of
the
time.
The
album's
iconic
cover
shows
an
inflatable
pig
(now
known
as
Algie)
floating
between
two
chimneys
of
the
Battersea
Power
Station,
conceived
by
Roger
Waters,
and
designed
by
long-time
collaborator
Storm
Thorgerson
of
Hipgnosis
Studios.
For
this
new
release,
the
artwork
has
been
re-designed
for
the
modern
era
by
Storm’s
Hipgnosis
partner
Aubrey
‘Po’
Powell.
Taking
new
shots
of
the
building
as
it
appeared
during
the
recent
conversion
work,
Po
experimented
with
new
angles
and
produce
some
striking
new
takes
on
the
classic
original.
