album review

The second post-Roger Waters Pink Floyd album is less forced and more of a group effort than A Momentary Lapse of Reason -- keyboard player Rick Wright is back to full bandmember status and has co-writing credits on five of the 11 songs, even getting lead vocals on "Wearing the Inside Out." Some of David Gilmour's lyrics (co-written by Polly Samson and Nick Laird-Clowes of the Dream Academy) might be directed at Waters, notably "Lost for Words" and "A Great Day for Freedom," with its references to "the wall" coming down, although the more specific subject is the Berlin Wall and the fall of Communism. In any case, there is a vindictive, accusatory tone to songs such as "What Do You Want From Me" and "Poles Apart," and the overarching theme, from the album title to the graphics to the "I-you" pronouns in most of the lyrics, has to do with dichotomies and distinctions, with "I" always having the upper hand. Musically, Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Wright have largely turned the clock back to the pre-Dark Side of the Moon Floyd, with slow tempos, sustained keyboard chords, and guitar solos with a lot of echo. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

      • Live in Kansas City

      • This is a MUST have for your Pink Floyd collection.  Saw them in 1994, Kansas City.  The bells they rang during High Hopes song, were HUGE.  The backup singer are phenomenal.  The album is almost as good as the real thing. *smile

      • Waterless Floyd (Division Bell

      • I am an avid Waters fan, but the song on Division bell “Coming back to Life” has a very deep and special meaning to me. It is sad now we will never get to see Pink Floyd together again as a band with the passing of Richard Wright.

      • It Kept me Coming Back for Mor

      • There are two albums that came out after Waters sadly split with the group; A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and this album, The Division Bell. Of the two, I heartily recommend this one. The progressive music area is wrapped up completely in this package. There is a lot of emotion here, from the bluesy feel of "What Do You Want from Me" to the airy, rich Pink Floyd I have grown to love in "Cluster One". While the lyrics are by-far less powerful than lyrics written in the past (again, because Waters left the group, he was a powerful lyricist), but it is far more musically developed than the music in the past. Riffs are layered perfectly and songs don't just transition from one riff to the other. Perfection in my opinion.
