    This album was a part of my teenage life. I remember getting tickets to see them at Vet's Stadium with my best friend and the only night available was the same night as our senior prom. Guess what we decided to do? Being able to see them live at such a young age was by far amazing. I remember during "High Hopes" they illuminated the liberty bell sign when the lyrics, "The ringing of the division bell has begun" was belted out. I have to say, I don't have a favorite song as they all are wonderful and hold such memories to me. A great album to have in your collection if you are a Pink Floyd fan.

    This will probably be the last new Pink Floyd album. I rank it higher than "Momentary Lapse of Reason." It's not fair to rank it with great albums like "Meddle" and "Wish You Were Here," but this era of Pink Floyd deserves be looked at outside of the great Pink Floyd albums. One of the best albums of the early 1990s, in my own humble opinion.

    Pink Floyd are like Shakespeare. Artists have to live in their shadow. A soft band? I disagree. This band is a reach for the cut-throat razor band.

    Wearing The Inside Out es un tremendo tema. Suave, sutil.

    I love Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, but i have to say that this one is my favorite. Listening to Take It Back.

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
