THE DIVISION BELL

In my opinion this is not only the best floyd album, but for me it is my favorite album period. I always thought that Gilmours guitar tone is what seperated the sound of Floyd from all of the other music I listen to and on this album Gilmour retains and refines the guitar tones that made him famous. I always fought this album in my mind trying to classify it as a "later" Pink floyd work that didn't deserve the respect of Dark side, or Wish you were here, but I found myself reaching for this album more and more. The more I listened to it, the more things I could pick out of it that I thought were incredible. I would suggest this album to any one, and ask them not to look for a new version of old floyd albums, but rather to look for what makes this albuim so great, it's etheral guitar work and beautiful tone. Lyrically I feel it could have been more varied on it's themes, But the music by far makes up for it.

I think that the outro in Poles Apart is the best bunch of notes ever strung together on any song..........just incredible!
