Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell: A Swan Song of Communication and Closure
When Pink Floyd released The Division Bell on March 28, 1994, it arrived with a weight of expectation few albums could bear. It was the band’s fourteenth studio album, the second without founding member Roger Waters, and, as we now know, the final chapter of original studio material from the legendary trio of David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright.
