Product Description

As Roger Waters's solo career set into a sunset of suspiciously self-serving Wall revivals and compelling if modest-selling solo efforts, his former band became one of the few outfits in the soft live market of the 1990s to burnish its stadium-filling appeal. But their recorded output wasn't quite so rosy. As all post-Dark Side of the Moon albums must have a Big Important Theme, The Division Bell is vaguely about levels of separation (did you say, duh!?), with more than one not-so-opaque lyrical jab at the estranged Waters. But there's a sense that the band may have put more thought into its trademark audio gimmickry (well represented here by the actual sound of the earth's crust cracking--you don't get that on Rage Against the Machine albums!--and a "spoken" intro by Dr. Stephen Hawking, or rather his voice synthesizer) than it did into its songs this time around. The opening "Cluster One" has a hypnotic minimalist lure that dissolves all too quickly into the bluesy waffle of "What Do You Want From Me," while Floyd Mach III leader Dave Gilmour's usually lyrical guitar work is uninspired throughout, a definite Floydian slip. Still, the band maddeningly manages a few moments of the old grandeur here and there. The Division Bell is not a great Pink Floyd album, but an all-too-fallible simulation. --Jerry McCulley

the music is beautiful and haunting. i don't know why i have to say more. i'm the one who bought this for me, no one else.
Format:Audio CD
I thought this was a great album when it first came out and i listened to it over and over again ignoring every fault and flaw until i was bored with it.
And at the time i was hoping for another pink floyd album to come out in a few years but it never happened, so this is a sad ending to the pink floyd legacy.
But since, 1994, everytime i've listen to this album it seems worse and worse, far to fat and bloated, some of the songs have far to much dead space and i think the album could have been trimmed by almost 20 minutes with no real loss.
Some of the lyrics and guitar parts are interesting but for the most point its pretty bad, but i would rather listen to this than some other types of music and that why it gets 2 stars.
And i dont think any songs off this album will ever qualify as classic rock.

This being the second floyd i have purchased, at first i did not like this album.Aboot six months later, its the only record i burn out to.I think its great that they continued since waters departed.Dont get me wrong, waters is a god, but he was getting his own way, and becoming a tyrant in the wall era. David is one of fav guitar players, and does some cool S*** on this album. My fav tracks are:Keep talking, wearng the inside out,high hopes,and poles apart. nick has also done some creative stuff on this album that i liked.nowadays, too many little posers pretend they like pink floyd, and have heard tracks like another brick in the wall,comfortably numb,and money and whatevers on the radio, and they try to be cool, but really, the would like to be listening to eminem,good charlotte and everything else that is gay and on mtv.you ask them if they are hard core pink floyd fans, and they dont even know aboot the division bell, then they dont know pink floyd. this album rules!!!!!

This is the sound of Pink Floyd, the way it's supposed to be heard
'Nuff said.
Cluster One 4/5 Great sound, but I dunno if the way to start an album is JUST music.
What Do You Want From Me 5/5 Great song! Read more

A couple of good songs in a average album
This album does not compare to the 70's and 83 floyd works. However, it is not as bad as some people have been saying. Read more

What's in a name?
This is an incredible album. People criticize this album for not being a typical 'Floyd' album, but who cares what the name on it is? It's good music, and that's all I care about. Read more
