Bridge Over Troubled Water

Man, there is just something with Paul Simon that doesn't agree with me at all. The record is fine, it's pretty, and the lyrics are very well written it's just so... chaste. Just not my thing. Favorite tracks: "Cecilia", "Baby Driver"

Nice vocals harmonies, as expected, and it is pretty easy to hear their influence on so much music that came after them, but the songs themselves aren't really doing much for me.

I feel like maybe if I had lived in this era as a young adult I’d really vibe with this, but alas I didn’t. Not really my cup of tea, but not all of them can be.

Meh

I will be honest, and say I'm still not and have never been impressed with "Bridge over Troubled Water". Ofcourse, on this album you'll find several pop classics, but this album is far from a masterpiece. The title-track itself, and quite a few other songs, are immensely overproduced kitsch in my ears. Violins, choirs and the lot. There's a few plus points to the album as well ofcourse. Songs like 'The Only Living Boy In New York' is beautiful, but it doesn't save the album. It feels it's an album on multiple thoughts and might be known as one of the all-time classics. But not for me.

genuinely thought that Cecilia was a Suggs original. never had a reason to think it was a cover. which brings me to the conclusion that yeah they do write a very good song. the problem is that their versions of the song are a bit shit. get someone else to do it. I'd genuinely rather listen to Suggs do a cod reggae version.

Nice but bland

What to say, … it would take a few more listens, but its much like crosby still nash and young. great talent, i know they are loved, not hitting that bar.

Yes, good, but not my thing.

I don't know. I'm getting kinda tired of this american folk music on this 1001 list.

Some classics but also some really dreary tracks that I'm not here for

Sad... Sad... Oh Cecilia! Meh... Sad.. Sad... This is an album to listen to whilst staring into nothingness, but I'll be honest, there isn't a single track on this album which doesn't have a cover that is 100% better than the version on this album.

Simon & Garfunkel's fifth & final album together released in 1970 and was their best and most effortless. This folk rock album contains some of their greatest hits and is certified 8 times platinum. This album also won 'Album of the Year' at the Grammy's. You can almost hear their impending break up in the musical production of the album, but at least they went out with a bang. Also, not my type of music at all, but still good.

What did I just listen to? I don't get it.

I guess there's some fun stuff on here. Clearly good, but it's not for me. Some of this is unlistenable. 2 stars for TOLBINY and Baby Driver

Jack says it's quite gay Very hard to get through this one

Good but snoozer

L'ascolto di quest'album viene rovinato subito alla seconda traccia con la loro versione di El Condor Pasa. Non voglio sapere neanche perché l'hanno fatto, ma suona davvero innaturale, e non mi pronuncio su quando cantano "Yes, I would, If I only could, I surely would", provo tipo odio. Per il resto ho trovato l'album abbastanza mediocre (mai quanto quello di John il picchiatore). So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright, è l'unica che mi ha colpito. Ci sono vari pezzi folk-country classici ma niente degno di nota.

Non è che sia proprio esaltante sto disco a grandi tratti è un discreto polpettone. Per me è un 2.5, gli darei in questa scala un 3 giusto perchè uno dei pezzi si chiama Cecilia, ma poi ora risentendolo al volo mi sono reso conto che alla fine gli unici pezzi che risentirei sono Baby driver e Cecilia quindi 2. Il biondo c'ha veramente 'na faccia di merda.

I have an abiding dislike for Paul Simon and this didn't do much to change that, but it was still worth a listen. Seems like they tried to break the mold a bit by sampling some other genres and adding some different instrumentation, but still to much fetishization of the voices at the expense of other elements.

Boring

I understand how this is a good album, but I struggled to enjoy it. Prefer Simon on his own.

Obviously talented but boring for me

Like they tried to write a classic album by focus group. Aside from "Only living boy in New York" it has no conviction, and left me cold.

2.5 | Es un excelente disco de Simon & Garfunkel. Muestra de verdad la maestría como compositor que tiene Paul Simon, también recuerda que la voz de Art Garfunkel daba una mucho mejor dimensión a sus composiciones. La canción titular es una excelente canción que hoy en día podría hasta considerarse como dentro de los estándares americanos. El detalle en mi visión es que musicalmente no soy un gran fan del folk rock, toda la primera mitad del disco, a pesar de ser tan bien hecha y de ser buenas canciones es muy lenta para mis gustos. Termina siendo un disco que a mi me suena demasiado dulce... demasiado a música para tumbar búfalos que tomaron cafeína. Hay solo unos topes en Keep the Customer y Baby Driver para despertar y volver a bajar el ritmo. Muy buenas letras, música incluso original en su arreglo y muy bien hecho pero no es para mí. Ah! y nememen con El Condor Pasa... Si entiendo que era 1970 y nadie la conocía en EE.UU. Igual nememen.

Not a huge fan of this one, very hit or miss tracks.

I feel like this is supposed to deserve an automatic 5-star. But I didn’t like it. It was sad, boring, and lame. Sorry.

nunca me ha gustado mucho y menos ahora que se que coverean el condor pasa, 3 rolas a la lista de rolas de los 1001 discos y ya

2.5

Dull. If you put your thumb over Paul Simon's face, it makes Art Garfunkel look like he has massive moustache

This is by far the worst thing that I ever listened to in pop music.

Not a big fan of them. I’ve always thought Garfunkel was the most talented though.

+ voor de moeite. Beetje saai

Un coñazo

NOpe, nothing interesting here...

Snooze fest

Bastante insoportable la verdad

lwk ass

Solo me gusto la primera canción

Didnt really like it

Meh

ew gross

No es mi gusto

That didn't age well ...

Not my style

Lo siento pero no puedo con ellos... :(

I guess this one is ok. I listened and many of the songs felt familiar. Still giving it one.

el condor pasa and cecilia are good other than that meh

Not my cup of coffee

Unlistenable for me! Twee!

Gross

I am bored out of my mind.

Outside of Cecilia, this album is is not good. At least they kept it short. Simon is not good. Garfunkel is not good. Put them together and you get this album. .5 for Cecilia 1.5

Some recognisable classics but it's quite dull

No interest at all.

Not my Type of music, but at the end got kinda accustomed , still nothing I would listen to

хуеьта скучная

1. bridge - 1.5 2. condor - 1 3. cecilia - 2 4. keep - 1 5. long - 1.5 6. bozer - 2 7. baby - 1 8. living - 1 9. me - 1 10. love - 0 11. zong - 1.5

Pull up the drawbridge. Let them drown.

Too slow. Too somber. 1/5

Not a fan.

its not my style. i dont hate it but I definitely don't want to listen to it ever again. i kinda like the track So long, Frank Llyod Write. his voice is nice and I like the music in the background. I'm so glad I'm done listening to this

Not really my thing.

Awful. Just awful. Basically an auditory war crime. I want to fight them both and their stupid dorky faces. Worst thing I've ever heard. Also what the hell is with the album cover? Why is Paul blocking half of Art's face? What kind of art direction is this?

3/5, ladilloso

Pony

preferia ficar ajoelhado no milho em vez de escutar isso dnv

Me duermo

I just don't care.

Ugh, this album was on repeat when I was a kid. My parents played it almost constantly (it definitely felt that way). For whatever reason I can’t stand listening to this particular album. I like some of Paul Simon’s solo stuff - just can’t abide the S&G material.

What is this the fuckin Partridge Family? Boomers were weird

No me gusto nada, es como que un poco de todo, pero no hay mucho de nada.

Meh not a Simon and garfunkle guy

Yeahhhhhhhhh just very very not my type of thing!! Too slow I don't like the vibes I can just never picture myself listening to this again in any sort of scenario. Some of the songs are "ok" like catchy but again just not my typa sound.

it really sucks. The Boxer is tolerable, the rest is just unlistenable 60s flower child ukulele bullshit.

Maybe I’m broken but this felt like an ice pick in my skull

1st track: I hate it. 2nd: omg make it stop. 3rd: OK this is a jam. Rest of album: back to being awful. Sorry, the 1 track doesn't save you from 1 star.

Don't care for them

This one was hard to listen to. Didn’t jive with the style. I can understand how they've influenced other artists, but was just too slow and unmoving for me.

Just not really my kind

No really good

I really struggled to get through this one. I found it incredibly boring. It almost reminded me of being trapped in a school Carol service or something. It felt like it would never end.

I looked in the index of this book and saw that there are no Warren Zevon albums. This three songs with filler is, but no Zevon. Oh well.

BORINNGG

Eh not in the mood

I can see why this is popular and I can appreciate this for what it was at the time, but this is so goddamn sleepy. I have zero interest in listening again. 1/5

I did not need this today, awful.

This is v boring

No me gustó mucho

boring!

Blah....

I’m going to get the kids a new 🆕 car 🚗 for them so that I have them on their own so that we have the same thing as my parents house 🏠 for a few months so they won’t get a lot to go on their cars 🚗 but I’m just wondering 💭 how many miles a day is a good 👍 thanks 😊 have you had any of these drugs

Good

Lots of songs I knew.
