The Animals is the self-titled debut album by the British R&B/blues rock band the Animals. It was released in the United Kingdom on 6 November 1964 on EMI's Columbia Records

Review by Bruce Eder

The group's U.K. debut long-player, containing -- in the custom of the time in England -- not one of their singles up to that point, including "House of the Rising Sun." Apart from "Story of Bo Diddley" (which is, itself, heavily steeped in conventions out of Bo Diddley's repertory), everything here is a cover of traditional blues and R&B material, ..For adult orientation, The Animals is roughly on a par with the Rolling Stones' debut LP (though that album is also more fun). The group would do better in the future in a less stiff and intense posture, but this is a strong debut.

“Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street’

Power to the People – Let the working class become its own hero. #MusicisLife #TedTocksCovers #JohnLennon

It has now been 45 years since John Lennon was assassinated. Yes, it was an assassination. Some call it a premeditated murder or just a murder. It was senseless. It was brutal. Emotionally speaking…

David Johnson reviews "Animalism," the final album by The Animals, highlighting lead singer Eric Burdon's vocal growth despite the band's split. While Burdon and drummer Barry Jenkins excel, the remaining members lack inspiration. The album features strong tracks like "Hey Gyp" and "Going Down Slow," but overall suffers from inconsistent performances.
