I really like it, indeed, though there are some songs on it I don't really care for. But things like "Cirrus Minor", "Nile Song", "Green is the Color", "Cymbaline", and "Ibiza Bar" are really wonderful.

Indeed many nice songs there, both among the songs that made it into the movie and those that didn't. Not you tipical Floyd song, but still very enjoyable.

Goes without sayingWink but Floyd were always good with Soundtracks, just look at La Vallie :-)
Most of the stuff doesn't even sound like it's soundtrack-worthy.

Speaking of soundtracks, Waters/Geesin's Music From The Body is amazing and the ancestor of Atom Heart Mother, isn't it?
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I have a devastating statement. 

I don't think "Wish You Were Here" is a masterpiece.
 
Pink Floyd is my favourite bands of all time, and yet in my opinion, WYWH pales in comparison to everything else that they recorded between 1970 and 1979 (with the exception of "Obscured By Clouds", which is still pretty good.)
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.

I'm not keen on the  soundtrack albums really.

I have to say, Pink Floyd is a band which I more or less love (or at the very least enjoy) every single album. I admire them so much because pretty much every album sounds completely different to the previous one, and each one has it's unique identity and sound. There's a Floyd album for every mood!

Oh, I love `Division Bell', so melodic and pleasant to listen to! Nice thoughtful lyrics too, and Gilmour's voice in great form :)

The weakest one for me is `Momentary Lapse', just a little too overproduced and worked-over for it's own good, but it's still a fine album. At least half of the tracks are terrific, the rest perfectly listenable :)

^No it isn't. Bland and boring with bad lyrics. A real snoozefest. Love Momentary Lapse of Reason though.

I love The Division Bell, Gilmour is in top shape. Not a classic Floyd by no means but still a very good album.

I must admit the only Floyd album I never listened to is Momentary Lapse of Reason. I'm not so interested either.

TDB and AMLOR are the only two that I don't think are any good. but with TDB I can at least listen to it and be bored, with AMLOR I just want to hurt myself.

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. Geek

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

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.

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.
