Animals is loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm. Various castes in society are represented as different types of animals (dogs as the businessmen, sheep as the powerless pawns, and pigs as the ruthless leaders). Although this album attacks Capitalism[1], in the book various animals (mainly pigs, sheep, dogs, etc.) represent different roles assumed by individuals in a Communist society.



David Gilmour and Roger Waters' "Dogs" (which had the working title of "You Gotta Be Crazy&quot and "Raving and Drooling", a Waters song which would later become "Sheep", were created at the same time as "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", and originally intended for Wish You Were Here. Their creation process was similar to the method the band used during the late sixties and early seventies. They would adapt and expand their compositions by performing them live, and later in the studio find a more coherent form and concept for the whole album, with Waters writing the lyrics. Animals was the last Pink Floyd album created in this way, as the subsequent The Wall and The Final Cut, were primarily conceived by Waters and worked out in the studio with some input from Gilmour. Although Richard Wright did not contribute much compositionally, he had some influence on the arrangement of the songs, including solo playing on "Dogs" and "Sheep". As with "Welcome to the Machine" and "Wish You Were Here" on Wish You Were Here, Waters wrote "Pigs on the Wing" and "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" to tie together the other songs in the album's concept. His dominance in the writing credits and the discrepancy with the actual creation process is directly related to the increasing tensions within the band.
