The dreamier side of Floyd
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This release was not critically acclaimed. This release was in fact not completely accepted by old-school Floyd fans. This release is different than anything else the band had done up to its point (1994)...but for me, that was exactly the point, and reason why I like it so much. It is a very "mature" release, deals with loss, deals with introspective issues ie: "What do you want from me" "you can sell your soul for complete control, is that really what you need?" "you can lose your selfish pride, see inside, there is nothing to hide, turn and face the light". Yes, profound lyrics are the hallmark of Division Bell. I was lucky enough to see the band perform in the Ohio State University football stadium lovingly known as "The Shoe" during the tour that followed this years release and let me tell you, the band was great, this music is great and anyone who can't recognize that fact maybe should give it more of a chance and try to not compare it to anything that came before it.
