I only wish it had come 25 years ago - with Plenty of time for Roger Waters to follow it up. Is the measure of a song actually determined by where it falls on the political spectrum? This is Pink Floyd. One common refrain from people who dislike this album is the claim of "leftism." Those people miss the point. In the live show, the character from "The Last Refugee" opens the concert, the video highlights the middle of the show, and finally at the end, she closes the show. The Last Refugee is a fantastic song - especially if you take it in alongside the official video. That isn't to slight the other songs on the album at all. If there's a standout song, "Imagine That" is it. Some of the songs, such as Picture That, implore the listener to picture the mundane, and the horror with which war can insert itself into the mundane - suddenly making those otherwise dull moments, moments of peace. There's a lot of typical Roger Waters here. The music is spectacular and Roger Waters might be 73 years old, but he can hold himself in a song-write-off. There is no lineage which contains "The Division Bell.". There is a lineage at play here, and it goes like this: The Wall, The Final Cut, The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Amused to Death, Is This There is a lineage at play here, and it goes like this: The Wall, The Final Cut, The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, Amused to Death, Is This the Life We Really Want?.
