I love the Division Bell as much as I love Meddle and Dark Side of the Moon. Each of those three albums is so different it's hard to compare them. Division Bell isn't perfect, naturally (a little heavy on guitar solos, all those damned out-of-band players and writers, Keep Talking and Lost For Words just embarrassing), but I find songs like Marooned and A Great Day For Freedom to be very cathartic. And High Hopes is quite an accomplishment for someone who has been writing music for as long as Dave has. I think it's a nice way to end the whole Pink Floyd thing (one of the few things I like about the Echoes compilation is how it closes with High Hopes and Bike).

(Edit: turns out a big chunk of that last sentence was missing.)
