Part 5 of 5 polls. Here are the last three Pink Floyd albums, recorded by the David Gilmour-led version of the band.
Discuss their comparative merits, in as much detail as you like.

Yet to hear The Endless River, so I'll not vote, but I prefer the Divsion Bell to AMLOR.

I don't know anything post-Waters and I really don't feel like listening to them.

"The Divison Bell". With that album the band sounded a bit again as in their albums from the early seventies, which is my favourite period of the band. I still have not listened to "Endless River" as a whole, only to a few songs in their Facebook page.

I voted for the underdog AMLOR - as an 80s album, it's one of the best for me at least, and it's got one of the best use of 80s instruments (especially 80s synths) on a record.

The Division Bell is the best post-Waters Floyd album, so much so that they made a second Division Bell album last year.

Division Bell all the way. Love that album and the lyrics are excellent. I also love The Endless River, but it is what it is and even though I understand the reason for the lack of lyrics and the short track, it does suffer from that. MLoR is only average at best.

Here's the only trio where I'd say the Floyd haven't blown me away. I really enjoyed Momentary Lapse when it came out, and I still do, but maybe that was all the Water-less Floyd I really cared to hear, because I never really opened my ears up to Division Bell. Just never really cared enough to give it a solid listen. Sure, I've heard all the songs, and none of them are bad, but it's just not something I'm all that attached to. I got the Endless River for Xmas, and I've listened to it twice and thought it was very weak, even considering the source (rehearsal jams, basically. but rehearsal jams that any half-decent band could have done, albeit most half-decent bands wouldn't have had such great recording equipment handy).
So Momentary Lapse for me. One slip, and down the hole we fall.

Why so little love for AMLOR? With songs like On The Turning Away, Sorrow, and Learning To Fly, It ranks as my second favourite 80's album behind Grace Under Pressure.
