And yet I do. How can one explain such a discrepancy?  |

If "matured" means "aged", I agree.  |

I think that the Division Bell shows a truly matured band.

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

The Floyd albums sans Waters are good, but like The Final Cut (which is pretty much a Waters solo album) are nowhere near the quality of those produced by the band as a whole.

Just like what the people above me said, appreciation is exactly how you've described it, Dean. It still means just what it meant a year ago, five years ago, 50 years ago. I don't think it has anything to do with being old-fashioned.

Indeed, it is missing Waters. But I'm not sure that's entirely bad. We already got the masterpieces of the 70's, and even with Waters it's not certain they would have achieved that again (though Amused to Death kind of shows us that perhaps Waters was already ready to give it another try). The Wall and The Final Cut already had quiet a different aproach than the previous few albums. And the same lack of Waters allowed Gilmour to explore some different ideas, and the guitar playing may just as well be better than ever, at least in the solos. |

As much as I love and adore Gilmour plus Richard, Division Bell had a missing element and this was Walters.

Well, if we're being honest with ourselves, we will realize that it's the hardcore fans that are the most critical and complain the most........because they have been led to expect greatness from their idols. Having said that, the word "appreciation" does indeed mean exactly what you say..........but do we have to take everything literally? My general feeling with such threads is that we discuss what we like AND what we dislike about a band and their output, with the understanding that it is all coming from the perspective of people who appreciate the band overall.  |

Not a big fan of either Division Bell or Momentary lapse, but Division Bell is far superior in just about every possible way.
Of course, I'd take any 70's Floyd album over it any day. |

I don't hate The Division Bell, there are some lovely tracks on it. However, I do not appreciate it as much as what I consider to be the golden era of Floyd, I.e. Meddle to The Final Cut. I just think that Gilmour was not as good a songwriter or lyricist as Waters, even with help.

You make a good point. Sorry for the negativity. I have to say I don't in any way hate Division Bell. I don't hate any Floyd album. It is all comparative.

shall we make a separate thread titled "things pink floyd fans don't particularly like about pink floyd" for non-"appreciation" topics?

There something about the word 'appreciation' that I like. Not sure what that is exactly, but I think it has something to do with the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something rather than listing all the faults and things I don't like about someone or something. But there you go, that's just me - I'm old fashioned like that.
