Wikipedia article




"'Animal Army'" is a song by Babylon Zoo, released in April 1996 as the second single from their first album 'The Boy with the X-Ray Eyes' and the follow-up to the band's UK chart-topping debut single "Spaceman". It was unable to duplicate the success of its predecessor, reaching number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and falling off the chart after a further week in the top 40. In Australia, "Animal Army" peaked at number 59 in June 1996 and spent six weeks on the ARIA Singles Chart. In Hungary, the single peaked at number 10.

Reception



'The Daily Telegraph' called the song a "surging, riff-heavy monster" that "could well give [Babylon Zoo] another number one". 'Select' were critical, writing: "No amount of nudity, drugs or free stuff would help make this low-rent gothic mush any better." Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo, a guest reviewer in 'Select', said that the track "isn't nearly as good as ['Spaceman']."
