5* ConsolationAward: The band's sole Grammy was the Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "Marooned", taken from this album.
6* MemeticMutation: The "Publius Enigma" phenomenon, an early example of an AlternateRealityGame.
7* NewbieBoom: As with the previous album, this album brought a bunch of Generation X fans on board.
8* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: ''The Division Bell'' is the best-regarded of the post-1970's 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]], respectively. 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.
9* VindicatedByHistory: While the reception to the album from critics and fans was mixed on original release, its reputation has improved over the years to the point where fans often mention it in the same breath as ''Music/{{Meddle}}'', ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'', ''Music/{{Wish You Were Here|1975}}'', ''Music/{{Animals|1977}}'' and ''Music/TheWall''.
10* WinBackTheCrowd: After ''Music/TheFinalCut'' and ''Music/AMomentaryLapseOfReason'' were perceived as glorified Music/RogerWaters and David Gilmour [[IAmTheBand solo albums]], this one was praised for sounding more like a real Pink Floyd album, leading it to be Pink Floyd's best-regarded record since ''Music/TheWall''.
