this is probably the wrong thread to ask this on but is the division bell any good?

It inspired this, so how can it not rule?
(sorry for huge but it's Floyd + cake, you all can manage)

Oh god, I was still a teen when I really got into Pink Floyd (1994ish) and I liked DB. It is mostly a Gilmour thing and not limp so much as... I lack the word, something like rote?

I also was really into the Pulse live stuff, which is at least competent touring musicians and old men, right?

the thing is there was that whole early-days-of-internet ENIGMA thing w/division bell which was the first time I'd cared about post-Barrett Floyd since my high school stoner days

'Marooned' and 'high hopes' are worth the admission price alone. I prefer it to The Wall.

While I'm at it this is how I would personally rate the PF albums:
1. Meedle2. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn3. Animals4. Dark Side of the Moon5. Wish You Were Here6. Ummagumma7. The Division Bell8. The Wall9. Atom Heart Mother10. A Saucerful of Secrets
― Moka, Thursday, 29 September 2011 01:29 (twelve years ago) link
I've only heard the final cut a couple of times. I found it dull but the holophonic effects sound brilliant on headphones... the whole album has a really nice sound, just no content.
― Moka, Thursday, 29 September 2011 01:30 (twelve years ago) link
1. The Wall2. Dark Side3. Animals4. Meddle5. Piper5. Saucer6. Wish You Were Here7. Obscured by Clouds8. More9. Umma Gumma10. Atom Heart Mother11. Momentary Lapse12. Division Bell13. The Final Cut

The nile song rules
― WARS OF ARMAGEDDON (Karaoke Version) (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 29 September 2011 02:57 (twelve years ago) link
Alright that song is pretty gooood. Why does nobody ever mention 'more' when talking about Pink Floyd? It sounds like it predates the ambitions they were going for in Meedle. It's interesting to hear their sound evolving from More into a definite musical entity responsible for one of the best album runs in rock history: meedle>dsotm>animals>wish you were here>the wall. But then again, few bands can RULE as hard as PF.

word'em up
pink floyd rules!
― nicky lo-fi, Thursday, 29 September 2011 12:02 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know if I agree its the best run. More like diminishing returns. dsotm is better than wish you were here which is better than animals which is better than the wall which is barely tolerable!
More has several essential PF classics, but also a lot of soundtracky noodling that gets skipped. For the good stuff though, it's always been one of my faves. The two hard rockers (Nile and Ibiza) and the ballads/psyche-folk stuff, Cirrus Minor, Crying Song, Green is the Colour, Cymbaline are all totally essential.

When did Roger Waters turn into Richard Gere??????

Animals "smaller" than Wish You Were here, but deeper imo
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 29 September 2011 12:43 (twelve years ago) link
The other night I noticed an interesting irony of Pink Floyd: their formative work seems to resonate most with me the older I get, while their "mature" work I haven't wanted to hear since middle school. That is, older me finds much to love in Piper->Dark Side, increasingly less from WYWH->The Wall. MLOR I consider its own thing. Division Bell I've only heard in the context of that nicely sequenced two-disc best of.

He smiles like a goddam joker! At the Live 8 reunion, he had that same smile plastered across his face the whole time.
I'm happy he's happy, but damn. I thought you were Roger "let's build a wall between us and the audience" Waters.

from my limited experience talkin Floyd with the ladies, they go apeshit for R Waters, always have--I wonder if it bothered pretty boy Gilmour although it doesn't look like anything ever bothered him
