animals

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'album for pink floyd' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'article one tipping hit' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'tipping' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'hit' becomes 'slam' (slamming is a kind of hitting).
'slam' in reverse letter order is 'mals'.
'an'+'i'+'mals'='ANIMALS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for animals that I've seen before include "Fauna (as opposed to flora)" , "Beastly types" , "Living things" , "brutal men" , "pets maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
