* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''The Division Bell'' is the best-regarded of the later Music/PinkFloyd albums. With Richard Wright back on board as a full band member, it sounds more like a real Pink Floyd album after ''Music/TheFinalCut'' and ''Music/AMomentaryLapseOfReason'' were glorified Music/RogerWaters and David Gilmour [[IAmTheBand solo albums]]. Sadly, the band disbanded after the album’s release, and by the time they published their final original album in 2014, Wright had been dead of cancer for six years.
* WinBackTheCrowd: After ''Music/TheFinalCut'' and ''Music/AMomentaryLapseOfReason'' were perceived as glorified Music/RogerWaters and David Gilmour [[IAmTheBand solo albums]], this album was praised for sounding more like a real Pink Floyd album, and it is the best-regarded of the later Pink Floyd albums.
