IMHO it's better than animals making it my 4th favorite Floyd album.

What he says, only for me it's my 3rd favourite Floyd album after WYWH and DSOTM. High hopes is the best Floyd song since Shine on...

Huh. I thought it would be closer for some reason, although the Division Bell is the better album, I agree.

They both are 2 star ratings...but Momentary Lapse of Reason is slightly better.

Though I went with Division Bell, I don't really get the deal with High Hopes. It's a good solo but not imo a career highlight for Gilmour.

My personal story with  High Hopes: When I listened to it for the first time the echoed voice fading out on "Forever and ever...." touched me deeply, then the guitar coda completed the work.
I don't know why but immediately after I started re-reading all the books of Clifford Simak.

The sense of loss and regret for the time gone is the same as in novels like "City" and "Here Gather the Stars". 
When a song is able to touch me in this way, I consider it a masterpiece. It's a subjective fact, so it's not strange if it doesn't do the same to anybody else. 

Another song which did me a similar thing is The Post-War Dream, but the whole Final Cut worked on me in this way.
