Which Pink Floyd album features Easter Island statues on the cover?

The Pink Floyd album featuring the famous Easter Island-like statues on its cover is The Division Bell. Released in 1994, it was the band’s fourteenth studio album and their second after Roger Waters’ departure.

The cover was designed by Storm Thorgerson, Pink Floyd’s longtime visual collaborator. It shows two enormous metallic heads facing one another across a landscape, creating the impression of a conversation or confrontation. Although they resemble Easter Island’s moai, they were specially constructed sculptures rather than ancient statues from Rapa Nui. The imagery reflects the album’s recurring theme of communication—and the difficulty of achieving it.

The Division Bell reunited guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason, and keyboardist Richard Wright for a major studio project. Its title comes from the lyrics of “High Hopes,” which refer to the division bell traditionally rung in the British Parliament to call members to vote. The album includes “Keep Talking,” “High Hopes,” and “Coming Back to Life.”

A common mix-up is to describe the cover as showing actual Easter Island statues. More precisely, it features modern sculptures inspired by the visual language of moai. The alternate cassette artwork used different, larger stone sculptures.
