Pink Floyd's second Post-Waters album, 1994's The Division Bell dives a little further into New Age adult contemporary U2-esque suckage.
It might not sound as forced as their previous record, Momentary Lapse but it's just as bland and empty. There's a few good songs but most are complete misses and make you wonder if David Gilmour & Co. were even trying. In attempt to throwback to the Floyd of yesteryear, Gilmour loosely tosses on a concept of communication to the album which just seems to be an excuse to hurdle a couple of bitter swipes at Roger Waters.
It's good that Floyd called it a day after this but it's unfortunate they left us with this crap as their swan song.

Owned this. Got bored of it very quick. Sold it. Bought it again from someone needing quick cash. Still bored. Sold it again, for a profit!
The only song I have from it now is the 12" of High Hopes. It has a live version of One of These Days on the flip side, and is the blue vinyl with the etching on. http://12in.ch/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/highhopes002.jpg
1 different cover for each format out of 5 from me.
Now that I think of it, it wasn't the "flip side" because the etching was on side B. Doh! All songs were on side A.
Love One of These Days.
