A concept album that replaces human social problems with animals.
The tight and aggressive sound expresses the severity of human social issues.
It reached number 2 in the UK charts and number 3 in the US charts. It is a concept album that sharply criticizes social issues by replacing the human world with animals. Elite businessmen are represented by dogs, capitalists by pigs, and ordinary workers by sheep. It lacks the fantastical sound of the previous album, and is closer to an orthodox rock sound.
