Re: Division Bell

ahh. DB is what I call, a teenage hooked album, Its good and all, but far from WYWH or Animals, musically. Its really hard to follow albums of Pink Floyd sound that do no contain some kind of theme. The Wall, was like ONE project that related to each other from song to song, just like Animals, the sounds differed yet mirrored each other.

Cluster One - is a great instrumental. Simple yet great. Nothing like Echoes, although after hearing Echoes for at least 500 times, it kinda fades on you, Cluster is not as addictive.

WDYWFM - this song has like, went all the way over the top to reach for the "pop" taste. It's just not that progressive sound I was used to. Its like a new band did this song. Good job, you idiots.

Poles Apart - agree that it had a Wall turn to it. Maybe thats what they were aiming at. Althought, to me, its as if, Gilmour is speaking to someone, I always, always think its like a 'one sided dialogue' between Gilmour and Waters.

"did you know.. it was all going to go, so wrong for you"

"hey you..did you ever realize what you'd become" - notice the 'hey you'

just read the lyrics.

Marroned - great track indeed, slightly repetative, shoulda have put all of it on the Echoes CD

AGDFF - disliked, lyrics were good, delivery wasn't as good.

Wearing The Inside Out - is an addiction that disguises itself in many forms. and it will influence you one way or another. the backing vocals added suspence to it.

after the cd falls of to a basicly pop ish style again until the bells start on High Hopes, far from superb, but a great finisher.

when I say pop ish, I mean tracks like Lost For Words/Take It Back, its just NOT THE SAME. Where DID THE SOUND FROM 'Dark Side and
WYWH GO?? Come BACK!!

My little review.
