Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Bells Form Hell,
By Drum Child (anywhere but the states) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Division Bell (Audio CD)
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!!!!!

'Turn and face the light...',
By flaming_pie "Jill" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Division Bell (Audio CD)
This album is something of an enigma to even most Floyd fans. Being the first album totally comprised of non-Roger ideas, there was probably alot of pressure on the remaining threesome to come up with something 'good'. Personally, I think that a person's Floyd collection would never be complete without this. 'Marooned' and 'A Great Day For Freedom' are worth the album's price alone. Give it a listen, and (hopefully) you'll realize what a lost masterpiece The Division Bell is.

Punks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Division Bell (Audio CD)
I know a lot of people bash this album, and they might have some reasons, but this album is still excellent. Its got some solid songs on it (what do you want from me, High hopes), with the same excellent Pink Floyd sound as animals or a momentary lapse of reason. This cd is definately worth a listen
