Funny how everyone who says The Division Bell has some rationalization or explanation why. Well, guess what--you NEED one! That thing STANK. "Learning to Fly", for God's sake? Give me "What God Wants", if you want to hear a kickin' post-Floyd tune.
It's a close draw for me between Animals, Wish you were Here, and Meddle.
The Wall drags badly the second half. It starts to sound like the soundtrack that it is.
I like Dark Side, but it's so emotionally chilly, I usually can't listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Not that that's a mistake--it's a brilliant exploration of emotional distance (listen closely to the lyrics on the last song if you have questions about that--"And everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon"). It's just hard to sit through.
