Pink Floyd: Beyond the Waters Era

When Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985, many thought it was the end. But Gilmour and Mason forged on, releasing three more studio albums: A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell, and The Endless River.

While these albums received mixed reviews and were often dismissed as "Pink Floyd lite," time has offered a new perspective. A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell deserve a place in the Pink Floyd catalog, even if they don't reach the heights of classics like Dark Side of the Moon.

The Division Bell, in particular, has moments of brilliance reminiscent of Wish You Were Here. Its first side is a strong contender for the most satisfying post-Waters Floyd experience.

Ultimately, these albums show the enduring power of the Pink Floyd brand and offer a fascinating glimpse into the band's evolution beyond the Waters era.
