Yeah, I always found it wierd that they gave it a ten. But Pitchfork reviews are sketchy before 2005ish, they seemed to be alot more liberal with the "10.0's". Regardless, I really like Animals because its some of the only 70's pink Floyd that isnt rammed down my throat, so it never lost too much of its luster, since I could listen to it on my own terms.
That Animals review, the writer seems to be drowning in his own nostalgia (the most insidious corruptor of great rock and roll). I feel like alot of the reason he gave it a 10 was because it reminded him of when he was a kid.
