As Roger Waters's solo career set into a sunset of suspiciously self-serving Wall revivals and compelling if modest-selling solo efforts, his former band became one of the few outfits in the soft live market of the 1990s to burnish its stadium-filling appeal. But their recorded output wasn't quite so rosy. As all post-Dark Side of the Moon albums must have a Big Important Theme, The Division Bell is vaguely about levels of separation (did you say, duh!?), with more than one not-so-opaque lyrical jab at the estranged Waters. But there's a sense that the band may have put more thought into its trademark audio gimmickry (well represented here by the actual sound of the earth's crust cracking--you don't get that on Rage Against the Machine albums!--and a "spoken" intro by Dr. Stephen Hawking, or rather his voice synthesizer) than it did into its songs this time around. The opening "Cluster One" has a hypnotic minimalist lure that dissolves all too quickly into the bluesy waffle of "What Do You Want From Me," while Floyd Mach III leader Dave Gilmour's usually lyrical guitar work is uninspired throughout, a definite Floydian slip. Still, the band maddeningly manages a few moments of the old grandeur here and there. The Division Bell is not a great Pink Floyd album, but an all-too-fallible simulation. --Jerry McCulley

Really love this album. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan and I really love the different sound and smooth listening of this album. Took me awhile to get used to it and now I love it.

Those of us who are waay into Pink Floyd have a favorite album that we will defend as the BEST ever (for many Dark Side of the Moon) and we will travel whereever we have to go to see them play live. As a P.F. fanatic, I have to say that the promotional tour gig for The Division Bell in Phoenix, Az in 1994 was the most knockout Pink Floyd concert ever.
They were just killin' us with new songs from this album. From the moment they stepped on stage they put the pedal to the metal and never let up the intensity and the thrills which kept us on our feet screaming for hours. Then, they treated us to a stunning array of their earlier songs as well and never sounded better. They locked in our devotion and no one cared when P.F. tossed away the key.
That April night in the desert was very cold, and the moon was full. We stood shivvering in summer clothes until they started to play and the energy levels ratcheted up 'til we were sweating. Then they tripped us out with an awesome array of effects including smoke and lights pulsing to the music; a large overhead TV screen showing a mishmash of totally wierd images; and those outrageous enormous plastic pigs that popped out of chutes on either side of the stage.
Then they brought out the dazzling, colossal mirror ball that opened like a lotus and shot splinters of light that painted the sky, each other and everywhere. We were blissed out while the music blasted us into whole new levels of experiencing both sight and sound. We were glassy eyed and high from each other's energy hours later as we finally stumbled from the arena at concert's end with ears buzzing while trying to sing "wearing the inside out" and gripping the tour tee shirts and posters of the album cover's two talking heads. It was wild.
David, Rick and Nick were HOT that night. David electrified the audience with such dazzling guitar work that we were breathless from screaming. It is probably true that nothing can replace the intensity of that live concert, but The Division Bell studio album is a wonderful way to dial in the memories and be there again. Yet, to P.F. heads it really doesn't matter, we'll make it happen whatever way we can.
Like other reviewers have noted, The Division Bell is about communication. The magic of music is communication, isn't it? "What do you want from me", "Keep Talking",and "Lost for Words" tells their story of anger, pain, and great loss that still simmers in their feelings after Roger walked. The band let us know that it has not been easy to have lost such a gifted musician. I think the lyrics are eloquently understated and brilliant. Does one really need a hammer to get the point?
Those who have seen P.F. live KNOW how cooked the band is and this is why we are still so fanatical about this group. Yes, we may miss Roger, but the Division Bell has its own power and it is still Pink Floyd to the MAX. Many of us will continue to clamor for more from this band - probably until the end of time. While we wait, we always have their albums. Rumor has it that there is a new one on the way. Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but for this music lover, The Division Bell is a new classic Pink Floyd, and that's alright with me.

The Division Bell, in which Pink Floyd demonstrates that they can record an outstanding album without old Rodge. Funny, at this point the quartet is only 50% original members, although Gilmour was on board very early on, part of their scene from the get-go, even boyhood pal of Barrett and Waters. Regardless, great album. I'd describe it as: sleek, horizontal, azure.

I have been looking for this a while but wasn’t paying $1,300 for an original copy so when I saw the remaster I had to grab it. Great quality the sound is clear with defined highs and lows no distortion in sound.

This remastered CD is a definite improvement over the original....

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020

I have a fairly expensive headphone setup with an OPPO BDP105D universal disc player which has highly regarded Sabre DAC 32's built in, which is fed into a Monolith, Alex Cavalli, Liquid Platinum, hybrid tube amp in balanced mode connected to HiFiMan Arya headphones. If you're a stereo maniac like me, you'll know what that is, if not...then to put it into context, it's good enough to distinguish nuances and layers of sound (such as an even more prescient "fly buzzing" from the title track, amongst other minutiae,) that I'd never heard from my original version CD from two decades ago which WAS indeed quite good to begin with!
However, IF you don't have a multiple thousand dollar setup, I doubt you'll know the difference. BTW, I'm not a stereo snob. I did need to listen to this new remaster often and with a great deal of attention (it IS one of MY favorite pieces of music and I could probably hum it "rote" in my mind),... before I could really ascertain said nuances and detail retrieval thus, the differences will be minimal, if at all, to most of us. Who knows, maybe it was some kind of placebo, psycho-acoustic, effect! LOL!
Frankly, I was slightly disappointed. I was expecting some kind of "revelatory" experience I suppose! If anything, it is a testament to the way the original was recorded; though David Gilmour is on the record (whence he heard this "new" remaster) as having said "now this is the way we wanted it to sound when we first recorded it!" Quite possibly needed a little x-tra "scratch" to put a down payment on a villa near Pompei....or some such; I'd say that if anyone deserved it,... then so be it.
You be the judge. The remastered CD is certainly inexpensive enough to take the plunge and that's exactly what I did! I would note that, when I do reach for the "Division Bell" CD,...it is this remaster that I put into my player!
Hey folks, I spend a small fortune in time, energy, and coin in buying and listening to recordings that I buy here on amazon so if this review was HELPFUL, well...you know what to do! Many thanks Ladies and Gents!

Great Album/Poor Quality Vinyl

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023

Verified Purchase

Obviously it’s one of the greatest albums of all time, but fresh out of the box there are too many scratches and what appears to be a very persistent smudge one the second record, resulting in lots of pops and skips. Unfortunately, had to return it, because when I pay for something that’s advertised as new, I’d like it to arrive in actual new conditions.

So so album (6.5 /10)

Reviewed in Australia on November 25, 2021

It's a so-so album in my opinion. I'd give it a 6 or 6.5 out of 10. I think it aimlessly meanders about too much and the song lyrics are fairly forgettable or uninspiring. Apparently this is much better than the previous two or three albums so those others must have been truly awful!!

Really excellent recording, mastering and pressing (the music of course is great!) The music sounds better on vinyl IMHO, and this issue is well worth the asking price.
