I would say they tailed off a bit too but in no way do they suck just because Roger Waters threw a temper tamtrum and left.
Division Bell is a solid album ... the concert was off the charts as far as a Pink Floyd concert goes.
Learning to Fly came out about twenty years ago, I was about 15 or so. It had a big effect on my life and I relate to it more than any other Pink Floyd song (why I put it up here). To some it was a song about Heroin, to others it was about facing fears (me) or whatever else you took out of it.
BTW, leemajors is right....they tailed off when Roger Waters left (I wouldn't say sucked).

Yeah it was.
I went to one concert and a whole bunch of light shows at Sunken Gardens.
Back in the day, I saw a laser light show sponsored by KZEP at the Majestic and it was awesome!!
I would really love to have seen them back in the old school days.
But thankful, I got to see them anyway.
i thought they were fairly vapid lyrically after he left. his voice was reedy and screechy, but it worked within the band and they never sounded as good after. IMO, the In the Flesh tour/shows were way better than that bloated Pulse thingy. Then again i kinda find Gilmour's voice fairly annoying, especially when he is singing Waters' lines. Regardless, they all sounded better together than when they split.
Oh without a doubt ... there are some really old songs, that you would never know it was Roger singing. He did give a certain pazazz so to speak to the band.
I however, love David's voice. To me it gives it that sultry, creepy kind of thing to the songs.
