Ive always liked the division bell more than amlor, which is your favorite between the two?

I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.

On the whole, The Division Bell, but I do love 'On The Turning Away' and 'Sorrow' from AMLoR, and 'Yet Another Movie', 'Learning To Fly' and 'The Dogs of War' sound great live.

Oh "On the Turning Away" is the main reason i pull out amlor, "Dogs of War" and "Terminal Frost" are quite good too

for about the past 12 months for some strange reason amlor and tdb are the most played albums i have ???

i have to say the only songs i do not LOVE on both albums are a new machine, and keep talking.

the rest of the stuff is either good or outstanding rocker

tdb is better by a narrow margin i think

i agree with that, i dont care for "Keep Talking" at all, but the rest of the album is pretty awesome

The Division Bell is one of my favourite Floyd albums and i think it gets overlooked far too much, id probably put it in the top four and take out dark side, Amlor is really good too probably better than some of the pre dark side albums but not as good as the division bell

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is one of the worst Pink Floyd albums ever along with More and Ummagumma. The Division Bell is one of their best albums.

1. Dark Side of the Moon
2. Wish You Were Here
3. Animals
4. The Wall
5. Meddle
6. Obscured by Clouds
7. The Division Bell

That's pretty much my view too.

I think the album version of Keep Talking is a little boring but the live version is much better, a bit like Dogs Of War - alot better live.

I think A New Machine is supposed to coincide with Terminal Frost, like one long piece.

While AMLoR could be better, it's here to stay, so there. I like most of it, even One Slip, which is a bit "poppy" for Floyd IMO.

AMLOR on a count of it not sucking completely (though it does suck) it has a couple somewhat decent songs

Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story... her debriefing... will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and her honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot. ~ EVA re: The Boss (MGS3)

i never liked the later floyd sound how they always had kindof a quarter note thump of a bassline. It always bored me, and they have alot of that on those 2 albums.

Youre one of a kind. Just like everybody else.
