I'm just curious, since i was so pissed off years ago, but i'm can't stop listening to it. So cohesive and powerful i'm wondering why i disliked it earlier...

It was one of the albums that got me hooked on Gilmour's work (with and without Floyd), and I appreciate it for its own merits.

High Hopes, Marooned, Keep Talking... so many great tracks.

I rejected it some years back, but never gave it another try. My tastes have expanded greatly since then - do you think it'd be worth picking up a copy and giving it a shot?

 

[moogoob]

I would say so. Music is extremely subjective, so even if you don't like it at least you gave it a shot.

I didn't really get into the Division Bell at all. I still have a copy but it gets hardly any play.

The Final Cut however left me cold for years until I got into Roger Waters' solo stuff.

TBH I havent given that album a fair chance. Maybe I will listen to it today and see if I like it.

Definitely not one of Pink Floyd's best albums, but still better than a lot of other stuff out there.

I liked the album from the beginning. Very good display of Gilmour's guitar work. If you go in expecting TDSOTM you will probably be disappointed, but on its own, I believe it is an excellent album. I play it frequently.

I consider it one of the only Floyd albums with filler material, but it's still pretty good. Some of the lyrics could be improved from what I remember.

 

[Sabrage]

I only just got the album when my Floyd-rage was dwindling. Can't say I ever got in to it.

It's certainly not one of their worst either.

*cough* Final Cut *cough*

(Personal opinion, of course. No offense to fans of The Final Cut.)

x2. Final Cut turned me off so much that I never even looked for more Pink Floyd albums. Division Bell had been out for years before I even knew about it. I've heard it a couple of times and it does nothing for me.

Final Cut also turned me off on looking for anything by Roger Waters.

I didn't like it at first but then really liked a couple years later. Now I'm back to not really liking it again.

 

[captainzoli]

When it first came out, I only liked a couple of the songs on it, but after all these years, I've found I enjoy it all more and more. Same thing happened to me with the Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites album.

I tried to like it, but I just couldn't do it. To me, Pink Floyd's greatness ended with The Wall.
