    Animals is a transition record for William, and even when he's figuring things out, he makes beautiful honest music.

    Repeat listens yield rich and profound rewards. [Mar 2009, p.104]

    If the subject matter becomes a little too repetitive after multiple listenings, there’s always the music itself to enjoy.

    His voice leads the material along, punching up the momentum of the heavier songs and providing an earthy low end for the simpler ones.
