THE DIVISION BELL

After all the critics Pink Floyd received after their previous release "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason", they take a looooong break,and this is for better I should say.

Once again, David Gilmour puts all the feeling he has inside this album, and his playing is absolutely amazing. Rick Wright is once again a creative force for this work, and he really helped. He's sometimes underrated, just because he's always been behind the shadow of two of the biggest Rock & Roll icons like David Gilmour and Roger Waters, but he deserves his place too.

So getting back to the album, Pink Floyd recovers that characteristic heavenly sound, the songs are very moody, very calmed and wonderful.

The album has his better moments in "What Do You Want From Me", when Gilmour shows off his talented playing and makes the guitar cry over and over again.

"Marooned" is an instrumental gem, the keyboards and the drums unite to let the guitar talk without a word. Magnificent Track.

And the album is closed with one of the greatest songs in Pink Floyd History, their last anthem, a song you never get tired of. "High Hopes" describes a perfect landscape for a musical trip, where everythig is better.

In conclusion, as their last Studio Release, this is the perfect way to close the circle of one of the most emblematic bands in History. God Bless Pink Floyd.

Of course, this is not Dark Side of The Moon or even The Wall, but this album saved Pink Floyd's prestige. So, I'm gonna give it 4 stars.
