The Division Bell

Review Score: (10/10)
Now, when I first got this album, I thought it was a vast improvement over Floyd-Mach-Three's last effort, "A Momentary Lapse of Reason." But, the more I listen to it, the more I realize it's just a bunch of boring tripe.

There are good songs on the album, but not many: "Cluster One" is good. Good way to open an album. "Wearing the Inside Out" is a triumphant return to the world of vocalizing for Mr. Wright. It's a fine, jazzy tune. "High Hopes" is a nice way to end the Floyd's career. Very reminiscent of past songs.

The rest are either poor, or listenable only. "Keep Talking" grates on my nerves severely. I used to like "Coming Back to Life," but it's just worn thin with me. "What Do You Want from Me" has alright lyrics, if only they had come up with original music. "Have A Cigar," anyone?

Skip this. Get "Saucerful of Secrets."
