[The Division Bell] [Pink Floyd] [1994] [CD] Pink Floyd have never had it easy, both with the "simple" listener and with the "professional" critics. An accusation that is always put in the room, that Pink Floyd copy themselves. An accusation that goes exactly in the other direction, that you move away too much from their roots. . This shows that all criticism is actually nonsense! Why should musicians not be allowed to copy themselves? And why should musicians not be allowed to deviate from their known line? . Another accusation is the band's perfectionism. Pink Floyd were already perfect in the 1970s, but here and there inconsistencies crept in, which gave the works a certain charm. On "The Division Bell" Pink Floyd play better and more perfect than ever. . It is a great disc on which the three remaining Pink Floyd members that they have not forgotten anything but have even become better. . The result is not a new prog rock album, nor a post psychadelic trip. The Division Bell is in contrast to the Work of the 1970s "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets", "More", "Ummagumma", "Atom Heart Mother", "Relics", "Meddle", "Obscured By Clouds", "The Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here" or even "Animals" or “the Wal”l no masterpiece, The just listed extra ordinary masterpieces can neither be surpassed by Pink Floyd themselves let alone by anyone. "The Division Bell" is simply perfectly made and damn good rock music of the highest quality to be appreciated. If a completely unknown band had created "the Division Bell", then surely all extreme storms of enthusiasm would have broken out among the self proclaimed music experts - whoa, they sound as grandiose as Pink Floyd... . . . . .
