THE DIVISION BELL

Criticized by many, including me, when it was released for not being very original and quite uninteresting. I for one take it back. It felt a little flat at first but after a while it began to grow on me and now I consider it to be slightly better than the previous one, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", overall. Maybe the problem for me is that it doesn't really have any standout tracks comparable to the best tracks on "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason", instead this album is more evenly balanced and feels more cohesive. Gilmour's voice is definitely better than Waters' in my opinion. But whether you prefer Gilmour and his more accessible guitarbased style, or Waters more introspective lyrical version of Pink Floyd is just a matter of taste I guess. I don´t care as long as the music is good and on this album it is. More melancholic and a little softer than "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" but with the same stunning guitarplay from Gilmour, and overall I think it's a slightly better album.
