Who wrote the lyrics and music? Where was the head of the writer? Im a lyricist and the lyrics to Pink Floyds albums are awesome but I want to learn everything I can about Gilmours/Waters mindset and what they're writing about! Also, "Animals", "Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "Wish You Were Here" intrigue me as well...

"Despite no musical connections between them, most of the songs on the album are linked by the theme of communication. It is often described as Anti-Wall. Whereas The Wall is about closing oneself off from the world, The Division Bell is about staying in contact with humanity, for instance "Keep Talking".
While some songs can be interpreted as references to the past relationship problems between Pink Floyd members, especially the estrangement between David Gilmour and Roger Waters, Gilmour denies that the album is an allegory for the split and acknowledges only 'a couple of hinted mentions that could or could not have something to do with him [Waters]'" - Wikipedia
