What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

PINK FLOYD "ther division bell"cd,1994.

y'all gonna be shocked by my view of this one...
well,

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!

i wouldnt consider myself by any means to be a Pink Floyd fan, but i have a few albums(animals,the wall,wish you were here,dark side of the moon,final cut) and this one(so i guess that adds up to six studio albums in all..."animals" is the only one that i dont like.
by time this one got recorded Roger Waters had already left the band...and it does show in the lyrical aspect of the record, but overall the guitar playing of Gilmour is simply sublime IMO, and thats what this gets the "love" rating for, its a truly atmospheric,moving album...and not all the tracks sound strictly Pink Floyd sounding...which is not a bad thing.
the pro's at allmusic rate this one 2/5 for a converted 1.2 on the rating system here...not sure why,guess im not really a "floyd-o-phile", and dont understand these guys like a real fan does, even the reviews on other online purchase sites slag this album off...whatever, i think it is brilliant, a coule of tracks i dont like too much and they are the instrumentals "cluster one" & "marooned", man i could crack a few jokes about those titles, but when an album is this good, i aint even going to bother doing so!, pretty hard to seperate tracks on a PF album into individual likes,loves and dislikes as they tend to work as as an album, and not neccessarily intended to be listened to one track at a time, so overall i give this one a very high score of 2.6...which i believe is equal to the score i gave The Wall when i did that a year or so ago....
