The Division Bell is the fourteenth studio album by Pink Floyd, released on 28 March 1994 through EMI in the UK and Columbia Records in the US. It is their first album to officially feature the returned Richard Wright, who was a session musician for A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The album would also be the band's last to feature Richard Wright during his lifetime; he passed away of cancer in 2008, with The Endless River only featuring archival recordings of his. The band launched a successful stadium tour in support of the album, which would also turn out to be their last. A live album of the tour, featuring a complete performance of The Dark Side of the Moon, titled Pulse, was released on 5 June 1995.The Division Bell was supported by five singles: "Keep Talking", "Lost for Words", "What Do You Want From Me", "Take It Back", and "High Hopes". A music video for "Marooned" was also released in 2014 for the album's 20th anniversary.Preceded by A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Proceeded by The Endless River. | |

Why We Are Bummed: Communism Fell | |
| The Division Bell (Music) / int_67b24bc8 | comment |
Why We Are Bummed Communism Fell: According to David Gilmour, "A Great Day for Freedom" is about the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse, first focusing on the initial joy of liberation before veering into the chaos and disappointment that followed in the form of economic hardship throughout eastern Europe, the Yugoslav Wars, the Bosnian genocide, and the rise of new dictators to replace the old ones. | |

| The Division Bell (Music) / int_cee9aeed | comment |
Alternate Reality Game: The album was promoted with an early example of this trope in the form of the "Publius Enigma" phenomenon, in which an anonymous internet user (nowadays believed to be an EMI employee) promised a reward for anyone who could uncover the riddle that was supposedly contained within The Division Bell. To this day, the puzzle still has yet to be solved— and some people doubt whether or not it was meant to be solved at all, or even if the puzzle existed in the first place for that matter. | |

Design Student's Orgasm: The album cover, designed by Hipgnosis alum Storm Thorgerson, depicts a pair of giant, stylized heads facing each other in an empty cornfield, with Ely Cathedral (and either glowing lights on the CD release or red flags on the digital release) between their mouths. The alignment of the two not only form two faces communicating with one another, but also a single third face, representing Syd Barrett. | |

Series Fauxnale: "High Hopes", the album closer, is said to be an autobiography of the band's history, and was widely considered the band's sendoff by fans and analysts. However, the classic lineup eventually reconvened for Live-8 in 2005, and David Gilmour & Nick Mason put together the band's true final album, The Endless River, in 2014. | |

Alternate Album Cover: Four different cover photos are used depending on the format. The CD release features the metal heads lit directly by the morning sun, with four lights glowing in the background between them. The LP release features the metal heads lit from the side by the midday sun, with nothing between them except Ely Cathedral. The cassette release is shot similarly to the LP release, but uses two "stone" heads (actually polystyrene and fiberglass) instead of the metal ones. The digital download/streaming release uses a resurfaced outtake that features the metal heads in overcast weather, with three red flags in the background between them. | |
