The Division Bell

[MichaelC]

This has been getting quite a bit of play time recently.

In fact it’s zoomed up my favourite list and is now something I consider essential. Oddly enough, at the time of release, it was played a few times but didn’t hit the mark. But now it gets played as much as wywh and animals, perhaps more so.

Mmm. Got to have another go at listening to that LP then.

 

[robs]

If you bought it new (i.e first press), maybe take a look at what it's worth before risking scratching it by playing the thing!

I like it, but not compared with others.

An under-mentioned album, I agree. And actually the last PF I listened to. Wish You Were Here and DSOTM are my high spots. I find myself listening to the live DSOTM from Pulse now and then.

One of my favourite Floyd albums along with Atom Heart Mother.

 

[MichaelC]

I haven’t played Atom Heart Mother in a long time, time to fix that!

 

[kendo]

The Division Bell Blue Ray (re-jigged for headphones) is a joy to behear!

 

[chartz]

One of my favourite Floyd albums along with Atom Heart Mother.

I love this too, but the recording is such a mess. Geesin did the best he could to salvage it but still, not even close to any form of hi-fi sound!

 

[leroyd]

Division Bell is my favourite Floyd album

 

[Euan]

I'm afraid I find it ploddy, dull, dad rock.

Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Animals for me.

Glad its not just me who thinks this. Tired music from a tired band who should have stopped after The Wall.

 

[Tarzan]

Quit an underrated album- one that Roger Walters thought the other band members could not make.

 

[madmike]

I like it, very poignant contribution from Rick. My impression is that Dave was kind to him after all the crap he got off Roger. And Nick just sat on the fence and watched.

New release on blue vinyl.

after all these years, if i had to pick a desert island disc of floyd it would probably be the wall ,

Hi

Glad its not just me who thinks this. Tired music from a tired band who should have stopped before The Wall.

Comfortably Numb does not an album make.

Comfortably Numb would go quite nicely on the Division Bell in its ploddingly maudlin way. I don't like the Wall that much, too much polemic, but it did have energy and attitude.

Some say they should have stopped after Sid’s departure...

Have we met?

Saying so sounded cool back then.
