Album of the Day

The Division Bell, by Pink Floyd (1994): On the Floyd stuff disc I have in the car, I commit what to many Floyd fans must be a heresy - I follow a cut from the old Syd Barrett-led days with "Take It Back" from The Division Bell. I wasn't so deeply into the Floyd back catalog when this album came out, so I supposed I didn't have the same built-in bias against it that some fans do. It's surely not Wish You Were Here, but I prefer it greatly to the only Roger Waters solo album I have (Amused to Death). And given the fair amount of writing Rick Wright did on this one, it's easily as much a Floyd album as, say, The Final Cut.
