Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
This is a solid, powerful album following the troubled Capeman project. The sound quality is spot on and it really shines, particularly on vinyl. Truth be told, even the (HD)CD version sounds great, but this one is absolutely phenomenal. My top tracks are The Teacher and Love. Simon often talks about his love for writing Darling Lorraine (lyrics), but to be honest, I'm a bit confused because while the melody is incredible, I've always found the lyrics and the story quite average. Maybe I'm missing something. One downside is Simon's vocals on Quiet, which could have used more emotional depth. That said, all the other tracks are worth a listen for their freshness, wit, metaphors, and harmonies, of course.
Great and powerful album following the troubled Capeman project. The sound quality is incredibly precise and it truly stands out on vinyl. Truth be told, even the (HD)CD version sounds impressive, but this one is absolutely outstanding. My top tracks are The Teacher and Love. Simon frequently expresses his affection for crafting Darling Lorraine (lyrics), but to be honest, I'm a bit confused because while the melody is stunning, I've always found the words and the story rather ordinary. Perhaps I'm missing something. Another issue is Simon's vocals on Quiet, which could have used more emotional depth. That said, all the other tracks are worth a listen for their freshness, wit, metaphors, and of course, harmonies.
As a Paul Simon enthusiast (as of 2016, he could still deliver an incredible live performance), it's disappointing to admit that this album feels rather flat. One song fades into the next without much distinction; the music fails to engage and carry the listener along. This has been the case with every Simon release since "You're the One": if he hadn't been such a remarkably insightful songwriter in his prime, this strange lack of vitality might not be as apparent. The only track that resonates with me is 'Love', a sorrowful ballad highlighted by Simon's own sitar playing, and you can find that on his 2003 greatest hits collection "On My Way, Don't Know Where I'm Goin'".
