Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

3 words to describe folk music. It's exactly what youd expect, although there's the odd 60s rock flair that pops into some of the tracks. Enjoyable, although I'm rarely in the mood for this kind of sound.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third album by American folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel. The folk rock album is considered the duo's breakthrough and one of their best works. It is certified triple platinum in the US and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. I enjoyed the relaxing vibes on this album. It was an intelligent, creative, and beautiful piece that reflected the social issues of the mid-60's while being a cornerstone of folk rock for decades to come. Everyone should give this album a listen at least once.

I really enjoyed Bookends, but I think this is just a *little* too twee for me. Great production regardless! 3.5

Not terrible, but not really for me. There’s a Christmas song?? 6.5/10

Tolerable, one or two bop moments

Very pleasant

Enjoyably chill

This album really makes me think I'd never want to get stuck in a conversation with Paul Simon. These are lyrics from a man who thinks he is extremely important. Some of these songs are way too over the top folk-y, some of them are pretty good. Was familiar with most of them but pleasantly surprised by the one where they pretend to be Dylan.

I can see where the high ratings for this album come from but it just felt a bit sickly to me. Felt a bit too simple. I think I'd have to be in a certain mood to listen to this again.

It was what I expected. I like them.

Felt like I was missing something so tried to relisten, but still couldn't get into it.

Eh it was fine. Not really my thing.

It's a good album. Some songs are great, some are good, none are bad. But there's three Simon and Garfunkel albums on the list. I like the other two better. That makes this record a good candidate to make way for newer artists. Favorite song: The Dangling Conversation

Un album bien concis. Simon, voyant Garfunkel quitter le studio au bout de 28 minutes, lui adressera alors la phrase si souvent reprise aujourd'hui : "Bah alors tu prends ton aprèm ?". Bâclé.

Cet album nous présente un Garfunkel tentant de mettre des mots sur ses emotions, malheureusement la terreur l'empêchera de s'exprimer. En effet, l'ombre de Simon flotte derrière son épaule, lui succurant des menaces et autres supterfuges pour tenter de le décourager. On en ressort avec un Garfunkel complétement brîmé, qui barbouillera quelques "non non je vous jure que ça va" avant de couper l'enregistrement. On n'ose imaginer ce qui est advenu de lui après ça.

Is it good? Yes. Is it a good album? Eh. Better than the rushed “Sounds of Silence” album, but still shows room for artistic improvement. A couple of standout songs, but cohesively sounds more like a compilation than an album. Can’t rightly put my finger on why. But hey, the music’s still great, and once you watch “The Graduate” (1967) you’ll struggle to find a better mental picture for “Scarborough Fair/Canticle”. Standout Songs: “Scarborough Fair / Canticle” “Homeward Bound” “For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her”

MEh

So aromatic

The album feel's like a musical set in Wales about the rural and urban life during coal industrial revolution, directed by The Beatles with Highlander as the lead singer and main actor PS- Now I understand why the cat died, curiosity is a wondrous thing as this final piece of weird art. 10 as an experience and a poetic piece, but as a musical album it's kinda weak, though it has some fire : Patter's - 9 7 O'CLOCK News - 9

Pretty decent

The hits are solid there were a couple descent deep cuts (silent night, the dylan one, patterns) "your mom is so unhip that when you say dylan she thinks youre talking about dylan thomas" - Paul Simon

Great for going on a rainy morning walk, but only great in that exact context

Yes, pretty, but too sweat for me.

This duo takes folk to its greatest peak by delivering great melodies that I never associated folk with before.

Great folk rock. At this time you can hear they were experimenting with aspects of psychedelia. Great songwriting as well.

Strange

Last 2 songs great, rest is boring

Lovely and herbaceous but it could use a little spice.

what a weird one. it feels so weird to hear pre-bookends/bridge S&G. not an area i'm super familiar with, and for good reason - this is pretty derivative! their sound grew to be so interesting and dynamic before an early end to their partnership, so it's weird to hear them sounding like every mid-60s folk-pop group eh!

Cooles Album:) Ich mag die Gitarrenmelodien und die ruhige Stimme dazu. Aber das ist nicht das Beste Album von Simon & Garfunkel meiner Meinung nach

Soft tracks for gentle souls. Pleasant but bloodless. Pleasingly short. Famous songs but generally forgettable. The album ends in a light ebb.

Title track and homeward bound are great, everything else is fine

Good, but a whole album is a bit too much S&G for me

This was pleasant to listen to, but nothing more

Anti-Semite should be zero

LP

S&G are great, but this album is chock full of "I'm the next great poet" vibes. Leading to several songs that are era-appropriate wankery.

I like Simon and Garfunkel but this isn't a noteworthy album

Pleasantly depressing melancholy from the 1960’s. Not going back.

A few good folky songs and a lot of fluff.

Pleasant, folky choons that hold up well for a 1966 album ‘A Simple Desultory Philippic’ (is this random song name generator?) is so Bob Dylan I had to double-take. Silent Night got blacklisted almost immediately, but other than that it was a sitting-next-to-a-log-fire-in-a-cabin-in-the-woods-style of pleasantry

Very nice. Very soft, but some lovely songs on here.

It's the same song over and over again! The Garfunkel song is rough!

Some god vocal harmonies but no stand out tracks. Would not return to it

I was not a fan of the first song and thought the whole thing might be a bust. Started to enjoy it more after that. Decent.

This is an odd rating for me. This album has four all-time great songs, which should be enough to lift any album to a five rating. “Homeward Bound” and “Scarborough Fair” are probably enough on their own to do that. But the other two — “59th Street Bridge Song” and “For Emily” find their definitive versions on another album, Simon and Garfunkel‘s Greatest Hits, where they are sung live. The versions on this album sound like tinny practice sessions in comparison. Really, you owe it to yourself to go right now to the Greatest Hits album and listen to art Garfunkel sing For Emily. We all know that Paul Simon was the musical genius of the duo, but you need to listen to the power of Garfunkel’s voice as he sings the final words of that song, accompanied by the intensity of Paul’s guitar. That’s the moment when you really appreciate Garfunkel’s voice and the magic of this duo. Other than those four incredible songs, however, the rest of the songs on this album were not hits for a reason. And two of the four are better elsewhere. Hence the 3 rating.

they like to do this thing where they get a tight, quick groove going and then immediately stop it and slow it down for a vocal line. overall i expected it to be worse!!

Fine

Very calming music at the end of a busy day.

Kaikki lempiyrttini. Estetiikka puree, itse musa vähän... tylsää. Teemana sodanvastaisuus? Mutta saa mut silti hyvälle mielelle. Sopii sunnuntaihin, kuten Simon & Garfunkel aina.

A couple of very good songs. A lot of just ok songs.

I just don't have the patience for songs about books and poems and little shops in New York like I used to.

Sooo nostalgic, my mom loves Simon & Garfunkel. I think it is just a little too slow and sad for me.

6/10

Really liked The Dangling Conversation and Homeward Bound, but overall a pretty meh album.

Not too shabby, a lil on the slow side but its still got a few hits

low 3, didn't catch me at all but seemed well written so maybe future potential

Scarborough Fair, Patterns, Homeward Bound, The Big Green Pleasure Machine — супер. A Simple Desultory Philippic — забавный трек, не знаю, чё фанаты дуэта на него ополчаются. For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her — красивая песня, переслушивать не хочется, но впечатление оставляет приятное. В остальном — невыразительный в собственной мягкости фолк.

A pretty decent record, but it definitely wears its influences (British folk-rock and Dylan) on its sleeve. I get more enjoyment out of Nick Drake or Steeleye Span.

I don't love S&G, I think the 1st track is the only one I've liked on this album. For S&G it's good but to be honest I can't get into it much. It's fine in the background for sure.

I liked this. It was a very soothing, meditative listen. The melodies are immaculate, these guys were clearly very good at writing songs. The pallette of instruments kept things interesting as well. Also I think I much prefer shorter listens, my mind starts to wander after the 40 minute mark on a record so clocking in under 30 is a huge plus.

Another very good album from Simon & Garfunkel. Some great songs

Good and boring.

Alright with a few good songs but not their best album

liked, but wouldn’t listen in my free time.

Pleasant listen with Scarborough Fair and Homeward Bound the ones I was most familiar with. Everyone - Simon, Garfunkel, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme all did good work here and can be pleased with themselves. 3 stars.

Very melancholic, perhaps too melancholy. Almost plagiaristic-ally Bob Dylan. They even mention him by name. Not to say I didn’t like the album, I enjoyed every song excluding the final track. 3/5

I enjoyed this album. It didn't make me go WOW! But I still enjoyed it. My favourite songs would have to be Cloudy and Scarborough Fair/ Carnticle. I love the magical enchanted forest-y vibe from Scarborough Fair! It transports me to another world.

Meh. Better than wet socks.

good songwriting, however nicht ganz meine schiene. Didn‘t blow me away.

Silly

me sorprendió creí q me iba a gustar menos 7.5/10

Not goat but soothing album with great instrument

Mooi maar niet zo mooi als bookends

Simon is great when he's at his best. However, a throwaway Dylan impression, and two trad songs on a 28 minute record is a pretty disappointing return. 'Homeward Bound' is a great train song though and some of the harmonies are damn lovely so I guess it's a high three.

Nice, pleasant, gentle acoustic folk album with some lovely songwriting. Apparently the tone of this record contrasted with the sense of impending doom in 1966, but my understanding of 1960s history is not strong enough to take anything from this context. Rating: 3.5/5 Playlist track: Homeward Bound Date listened: 24/10/22

Leuk hoor. Beetje softe muziek, maar wel afwisselend.

A little underwhelming; Simon seems not yet at the height of his songwriting powers nor Garfunkel at his best as a singer. The match up seems almost forced here. Scarborough Fair, Silent Night and Cloudy just fail to ignite, with excitement only building on some more up tempo tracks - but even Homeward Bound has gotten tired with repetition, same with Feeling Groovy. A curiosity.

Nice one

Lekker rustig.

This is the first studio album I've listened to by these guys, which is weird because I've meant to dive into their catalog before—every time I've ever heard an album track by them I've always dug it. Anyway, I discovered a couple gems on this one. Overall: The production is often great, but more often than not, I found the arrangements distracting (e.g. the live versions of Homeward Bound and For Emily are much better than the ones found here. Those are stripped down so you can actually hear the singers). Paul Simon is a fantastic and quirky songwriter, but he hadn't quite found his voice yet on this album. His efforts at satire are embarrassing, and I often found myself rolling my eyes at his too earnest and sometimes pretentious lyrics. Still, Scarborough Fair is kind of magical. I dug Patterns. Cloudy was cool. And The 59th St Bridge Song . . . maybe this was a remastered version or something, but damn, I was getting some serious ASMR action from that tune, which I never noticed before. I also love how short it is. It comes, makes you smile, and leaves before it gets cloying. Not a bad listen, but I was hoping the deeper cuts would be better. There weren't any track that were as great as, say, Richard Cory or Hazy Shade of Winter. But I'm up for listening to their other LPs.

Homeward Bound is a five-star song but the most of the rest of this album doesn't showcase the amazing work of S&G. I still enjoyed it but as I know they have better music, it felt average

Good song writing but not overly catchy and nothing I'll come running back to. I enjoy Simon and Garfunkel but this album was on the boring side for me. Still a good listen.

Homeward Bound is outstanding. The rest is very mediocre for Simon & Garfunkel standards.

A nice listen, homeward bound is def my fav.

Listened to on 9/22/22 3/5 Favorite song:silent night 7:00 news Very easy to listen to - nothing spectacular but some weird fusions

Easy to listen to and quite folksy. I actually liked the title track the least. Favorite was Homeward Bound.

Not my favourite Simon and Garfunkel album. The songs are okay, but the best is yet to come.

I am very thankful I wasn't a teenager when this came out...I would have been an insufferable hippy... but I do love Simon and Garfunkel...and some of these songs hold up so well to me... Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound, 59th Street Bridge, For Emily, but Silent Night is more like a timepiece ... some tracks are a little folksy too, Cloudy, is almost an afterthought of a song... but these two, when singing together...still have a magical sound together.

Easy listening

Need to listen again, pretty calm

Sounds like they put some filler in to turn amazing singles into an album

Solid; not the type of music I normally listen to…feeling groovy my favourite

6/10

Enjoyed every song. strong 3

Nice light album. Nothing really stands out.

Gryta

Some nice songs, not much else to say. One or two have been ruined a little by singing them in school choir years ago..

Chill album, mellow, poetic

I mean it’s just Simon & Garfunkel. Good but nothing mind blowing.

Not my fav.

Nice and chill

I've always loved their harmonies and their soft, relaxing sound. Not my favorite S&G album, but a good one nonetheless.

Pleasant but dull

Another week, another Paul Simon album. A couple of moments, a traditional English ballad, a terrible Dylan pastiche, a Christmas Carol made interesting by having the evening news program recorded under it providing a nice juxtaposition.

Signs of greater things to come.

I think I need to do the entire 1001 album experiment at least three times, because it seems unfair to Simon & Garfunkel to have me judge this album on a beautiful and hot July Friday when I have an exciting weekend to look forward to. I might rate this album higher on a different day, in an altogether different mood. I cannot deny the poetry of the songwriting, especially on the iconic Scarborough Fair, Dangling Conversation, and Flowers Never Bend. Green Pleasure Machine was just stupid fun that made me smile. For Emily was my least favorite track on the album, and I felt emotional in the closing Of the album with 7 o’clock news, and I was thinking how we could probably create an entire new version annually or less.

-Some kinda cool and spooky vocal effects and harmonies in "Patterns." Also the backing drums are cool -I like the upbeat pace of "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine." The drums are also kind of shredding -Woah the synth kinda go crazy in "A Simple Desultory Philippic." Also lots of pop culture references that I at least kinda get. Also Bob Dylan parody thrown in there -I like how everything is thumping at the same time in "A Poem on the Underground Wall" -"7 O'Clock News / Silent Night" is pretty spooky combo of, well, the news and "Silent Night" -Nice, with some interesting points, but other than "A Simple Desultory Philippic" there is nothing that makes me want to listen to any part of the album again

A classic but not mind blowing so only a solid 3*

Nah, not for me. Americans covering bad English folk songs is unnecessary, and the other tracks sound like an attempt to copy the title(ish) track. 7 o'clock news/silent night is the one original thought here, just weird enough to maintain interest.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme is undeniably well-crafted by legends, it's just not so much my thing or my speed. It's a bit twee in places, a bit too 60s in places, but does a great job of being everlasting despite a 28 minute run-time. Easy 3/5.

This is beautiful, very gentle, folksy music. There aren't many cleverer lyricists than Paul Simon, but this is all a little bit too gentle for me. Homeward Bound is the best of the bunch, and Scarborough Fair / 59th Street Bridge Song not too far behind, but it doesn't have enough bite. 3/5.

not much my type of music…some brilliant compositions pop up anyway though…

There's at least a glimpse into Simon's immense talent here, in "Patterns". And of course there are hits here, but otherwise it's unspectacular.

Positiv hervorzuheben ist, dass die Platte angenehm kurz ist, leider ist sie dabei sehr durchwachsen. Wieder einmal kannte ich von einer bekannten Band nur ihre bekannteren Songs (auf dieser Platte also: Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound und Feelin‘ groovy), und bin überrascht, wie bestenfalls mittelmäßig die restlichen zumindest auf diesem Album sind. Ganz, ganz schlechte 3 Sterne.

Pretty good album, some real classics on here.

Tasty.

A most pleasant listen if slightly pretentious (just too earnest) at times (see last cut). Some lovely moments – the title cut/opener, and “For Emily” – and pretty authentic as a ‘60s artifact (both a weakness and a strength). One tries not to let anti-Simon feelings that have emerged in the years since (not just cultural appropriation but the sense of entitlement and just being insufferable as a person) cloud one’s objective judgment on this one.

3/5 niceish

Okay

i might say it's okay, i enjoyed it

that was not my bag baby. great harmonies though, just not my bag

"I've lost my harmonica Albert" - haha, ded!

It's pretty good. I understand why it's on this list. I'm just not a huge fan of this particular record.

Bookends is in my Top10 but I've never managed to get into this one apart from the hits it's populated by mid-60's music for the socially conscious College student. I consider them girding up for later times. Listening the whole way through doesn't change my opinion- great timeless song then a filler which really shows it's age.

Добротный альбом, который достоин попадания в список. Без явных хитов (которых у этого дуэта немало), но зато цельный.

This is very pastoral. The first song ,Scarborough fair’ was the best one. Pretty simple songwriting here but it has its charm. Overall I think 3 stars for this one. It was enjoyable but pretty run of the mill.

I like it just fine, although it never ever ever occurs to me to actively want to listen to it. Why is that?

I like Simon and Garfunkel even though I typically do not like folk music. I was familiar with a majority of these songs. There were some that I did not know. The album is relatively short which was a little surprising.i probably would not listen to the entire album again but I would listen to certain songs.

3.7 - Not as rich and satisfying as other Paul Simon albums. "Scarborough Fair" is a quiet beauty filled with hushed intensity, a masterpiece. There are other moments of beautiful poetry and melody - "Patterns", "Homeward Bound", "For Emily...". Mixed in are a few misses. The gentleness of "The Dangling Conversation" becomes cloying to my ears. "A Simple Desultory Philippic" is an homage to Bob Dylan that's too fawning. "7 O'click News/Silent Night" doesn't land with the same impact as I imagine they thought it might.

Good, but I really dislike Scarborough Fair. Always have.

Ouf... zzzzzzz.... faut pas trop être fatigué pour écouter ça! On dirait qu'ils veulent pas déranger.... Connaissais scarborough fair, le reste est pas mal du pareil au même. J'exagère un peu. Ça a un son, c'est identifiable aux première notes, c'est smooth, avec une bonne tisane, pour reter dans les fines herbes, ça se prends bien

Sympathique mais probablement pas le meilleur du duo. Pièce préférée: Homeward Bound

25th February 2022 Started on the Friday and finished on the Sunday. Friday was Ali’s wedding at Elmore court which was amazing. Lovely folky song crafting, surprised by the Dylan impression in the middle!

Normal

Not bad listen - quite quick and good to work to. Patterns spoke to me the most in its simplicity.

Best Song: Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall. Whimsical lyrics with excellent use of rhyme. Worst Song: Homeward Bound. Not terrible, but feels like the kind of song that would play in a coffee commercial. Overall: A very short album, filled with short songs. Pleasant to listen to, but leaves nothing particularly memorable.

Two S&G albums in a row. This one is better than the last one, but it's the same review.

meh

This is folk rock in a very traditional way and it has a great progression from "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" to "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night", almost telling us a story. "Homeward Bound" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" are also very remarkable songs and Paul's voice mixed with Art's is always a delight.

6/10 Очень милая штучка, нравится гитарки, очень напомнило Битлз. Но под конец както надоедает

Meh. Feels inconsistent -- the haunting folk of "Scarborough Fair" and "To Emily" bookending some pretty forgettable and dated-sounding (not to mention pretentious) stuff.

Some good songs but lost me at times - the bob dylan parody and silent night kind of cringed me

Lovely harmonies. Some good pop/folk. Nice and familiar. However, it's not Bridge Over Troubled Water!

Not really a fan of Simon and Garfunkels vocals, but there are some alright tracks on there.

meh

Quality and enjoyable

звучит качественно, особенно учитывая что это 1966 год. Но не мое, совершенно такой звук не заходит

Really made me feel peaceful, these guys sure know how to hold a melody, I expect big things from them in the future! I got questioned why I was listening to silent night in January

Relaxing lovely album.

Good, but not great folk album.

Simon and Garfunkel always reminds me of being a kid in the back of the car. My parents would talk and argue over maps, I would daydream staring out the window as the vast prairie would stretch out for what seemed like an infinity. A bright glaring sun would illuminate the land and cast long sinister shadows. I've never actually been to the states and the only S&G song my dad listened to was the one about a sparrow and a snail so must be an appropriated memory from a film or something.

Look, I love this pair’s music, but this album errs to much towards folk music for my precious taste. I wonder when I’ll get the opportunity to rate the real thing, Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Nice and relaxing

Decent

Liked Scarborough Fair, didn't really care for the rest.

Classic, soothing Simon & Garfunkel, not much to say here. It's great music, but it's not on repeat for me.

Calming, dreamy

I liked it a lot, only it was a bit too easy-going for me

Not my favorite S&G record

Solo tengo el disco "Live from New York city, 1967" que me parece genial y resume bastante su carrera. Este disco está bien pero a ratos puede ser muy tranquilo, demasiado incluso. Me gustan Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound, The 59th street bridge song y The dangling conversation.

nice easy listening, which also makes me feel like i´m not really missing something

All their albums are good.

Paul Simon - always good, but calm down

There are a couple of really good songs on this album but most of it is just way too pretentious. Felt very "I'm 14 and this is deep" to me. For example, on the last song of the album, they sing "Silent Night" as you hear a newscaster describe horrible events of the day in the background. It's the kind of thing I would have come up with in 7th grade and then felt real smug about it afterwards. I think I would have given this a higher score when I was younger but these days I just found it mostly annoying.

35. Simon & Garfunkel Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme 12 tracks. Really interested to listen to this because while there is no doubting their genius, some of it hasn't "clicked" with me before. so keen to give it another go. Still not clicked. 3/5

Someone needs to start a band and call it The Simon & Garfunkels of Death Metal. Speaking of Death Metal, I really hated the Silent Night track. Alternatively, I loved (LOVED) the Poem on the Underground Wall... it made me realize what a huge influence S&G were on Elliot Smith.

Once, a yoga instructor played S&G during class to mix things up and it was the BEST. so I did that. ❤️

Peaceful, relaxing. I really enjoyed the second side of this record (and their Dylan pastiche). First half, minus "Scarborough Fair", somewhat forgettable. Gorgeous harmonies. Favorite tracks: "A Poem on the Underground Wall", "Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall"

I've heard a variety of tracks and a couple of full albums from Simon & Garfunkel, but this album was mostly new to me. Some tracks I have heard many times before, but different renditions that what appears on this album ("Scarborough Fair/Canticle", "Homeward Bound", and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"). This album is much more solidly folk music than what I'm used to hearing from the band. "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" was an album favorite (and a moderately familiar track), along with the previously listed tracks. "Patterns" (with it's dying rats) and "A Poem on the Underground Wall" were just weird enough to keep this album squarely in the 'okay' zone.

no thanks

A bit boring in my opinion

Meh

Literate folk. Different versions of some songs that I’ve always heard another way.

Very 60's acoustic, folky jams. A clear example of the poeticism of Paul Simon's songwriting.

Give these guys credit for creating a distinctive chill, mellow folk/pop genre. If you’re in the mood for this on a rainy Sunday afternoon, this album fits the bill perfectly.

3; Chill, relaxing and alright but feels as old as it is

Beautiful balance of vocals and acoustic instruments.

not as good as bridge over troubled water

Solid folk rock album. Their music does stand the test of time and still is unique and enjoyable today. Homeward bound is great. Sometimes Simon and Garfunkel’s music does bore me a little with the soft tones but it’s still a good album. 7.5/10

Bit of a classic, old school for old people

30.05.2021. Simpatično ali nije moj fazon.

Not my favourite S&G - Very focused on a particular mood and time and very whimsical in general however too many of the tracks are the same slow harmonies over acoustic guitar picking - The tracks the deviate from this are the most enjoyable in my opinion The Big Bright Green Treasure injected some energy into the album at a good time Got a bit of the Zombies going on with The Dangling Convo - Don't like the track though By track 8 I kinda felt like I knew what I'm getting but Desultory Phil was a nice surprise - Enjoyed the guitar and groove Top Tracks: A Poem in the Underground Mall Scarborough Desultory Phil Big Right Green is cool What the fuck is that last track? lol Giving it a 3 - Some good tracks and can appreciate it's good music but too much of the same thing

I enjoy this as background music while it puts the lotion on its skin. If I hold my penis with my doll hand it looks massive. I’ve heard worse than this before but also better than this before.

I enjoyed the album quite a bit. I wouldn't say that I absolutely loved it but I am able to appreciate it. My favorite track of this album has to be Scarborough Fair / Canticle because I remember in high school, I learned how to play this piece on piano. It's an alright album, personally not something I would seek to listen to but it is a nice gem.

Great album just nice to listen to

Плох ли этот альбом? Да ни в коем случае? Хорош ли? Ну, после хороших альбомов не забиваешь на рецензии в течении нескольких недель. Саунд альбома приятный, навскидку чувствуются нотки альбома Crown of Creation за авторством Jefferson Airplane. Хорошие композиции в этом саунде тоже запилены, Scarborough Fair / Canticle, Cloudy, Homeward Bound, For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her. Но имеются и архаичные одиозные моменты, свойственные своему времени. Например, припев The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine кажется раздражающим. И, собственно, главный вопрос. Хотел бы я после вернуться к альбому? Думаю, нет. Так что выше тройбана не натянуть.

ну хз норм музончик для фона, а так хайпа этого не пойму

Simon and Garfunkel are really a wake up at half 8 kind of duo. You couldn't wake up at half 1 and listen to Simon and Garfunkel. It simply can't be done

Very chill vibes. Great harmonies. Not quite on the level of Bridge over troubled water

Was ready to give this a 2 at the beginning because it really just isn't my time of music at all, but it was actually genius, some clever lyrics and concepts. So, 3/5

Another band I'm not familiar with except their hits. Sounds timeless, you could release the record today with the same sound. And I mean that as a compliment.

3.4

Interesante

Gentle, pleasant and soothing are just three ways to describe this soft, warm caress that Simon and Garfunkel provide on this album. It also describes the way your mum sucks off your dad and his mates from the pub. Yes, YOUR mum. 🍆

"And you read your Emily Dickinson And I my Robert Frost And we note our place with book markers That measure what we've lost Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm Couplets out of rhyme In syncopated time" (The dangling conversation) "I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled 'til I'm blind I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed That's the hand I use, well, never mind" (A simple desultory philippic (or how I was Robert Mcnamara'd into submission)" Siempre tengo un poco de debilidad por las canciones donde la música es :) pero la letra es :(. Tampoco me habría importado que todo el disco fuese como "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme".

Wenn Folk, dann dieser hier; ich mag diesen Harmoniegesang gern und die ganze Softness, die das trotzd politischer Haltung ausstrahlt. Ordne das ingesamt ähnlich ein wie damals Don McLean, und was ihm sein American Pie ist denen hier ihr 7 O'clock News/Silent Night. Dankeschön, dafür dann gern einmal 3,4

Gran combinación de voces. Agradables de escuchar en cualquier momento

Funny

I've heard much of this before. I just don't think it holds up compared to Paul Simons's solo stuff.

Iconic album, a few good tracks. Just not my thing tho.

Alles in allem nicht schlecht, aber mir etwas zu eben im Gesamtkonzept. Habe aus Versehen noch 2 Alben gehört, weil ich nicht gecheckt hab das eine bereits vorbei war. Spricht nicht für die musikalische Entwicklung. Es ist nicht nichts, aber ob es etwas ist. dunno. Won't skip it, won't listen again

good

kinda scary

Solid folksy album

meh

Definitely not my speed, but I can appreciate it leading to so many other more modern sounds.

Cool album. Chill. I likely won’t listen to it again but not bad.

Several classics. And 7 O'clock News/Silent Night.

A much more engaging listen than 'Bridge...' for sure. Dapples in several types of genres and arrangements that create unique, memorable tracks while preserving a sense of unity throughout the LP. Worth another listen for sure.

Not my favourite by them but still good 3.3

Not my fav record by them, but still has some bangers.

Nice and chill. Very hippy. Definitely would like a joint listening to this.

Its okay. nothing too special for me.

Folk’s never really been my thing

Lease favorite S & G album

Folk, harmonies and not a lot else. You know what you’re getting, but it’s still delivered very well!

Correcto

Didn’t do it for me

I only really liked the song Mrs. Robinson, which isn’t on this album, but that’s my frame of reference for Simon and Garfunkel. Anything else is a no go.

So inoffensive and dull it's honestly bizarre

pretty calming, with a fair variety of tunes from upbeat to soothing.

I don’t think I actively hated it, but I actively didn’t like it.

Was interested in listening to this as I've never heard it before. It's just music for wusses

Not my thing

These kind of light vocal harmonies just sound lame to me

Tiene un sonido fantasioso y melancólico para película de fantasía con hadas, no me llamo la atención y no es mi tipo de música pero estuvo muy bien escuchar otro tipo de música

Es bastante juegueton, poético pero muy parecido entre sí. Siento que un álbum de ellos basta para conocerlos

Like a virgins love note to their first crush in a sort of bad way

A languorous classic. Complex and nuanced but never gets going for me.

Technically it's good, but not one I'll turn to often. It was fine to experience, but not one I feel like going back to.

2,5

It was okay. Simon and Garfunkel usually isn’t for me but there are some real tender raw moments that you can’t help but feel. Homeward bound and Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall are my two favorite but I also love the opening tracks medieval feel. Reminds me of John cales version of Venus in furs

I expected to like this more. Other than Scarborough Fair and Homeward Bound, which are lovely tunes, I didn't really get hooked in, and found a lot of it too twee.

Sixties folk fare from S&G

A bit dated.. Doesn't quite do it for me.

Not even the fact that it's by Simon & Garfunkel will save it from the fact that it's f*lk rock.

Aight

All is groovy.

Paul Simon is just as overrepresented on this list as the Byrds or Elvis Costello. All of them made pretty okay music, but none of them at that essential. So, I really don't want to rate this 1 out of spite, but with every new entry (this is my 6th Paul Simon record) my readiness to listen sympathetically declines. So, this has some good songs and some stinkers and way too little dynamics for my taste. And Holy Night? Wow, even worse than El Condor Pasa.

Ok so, I think I owe Paul Simon a formal apology. In my review for Graceland, I wrote that “His solo career post Simon & Garfunkel had promise but Graceland was a difficult and confusing choice made by a man trying to find himself again in other people’s culture.” And you know what… when I wrote that I thought higher of Simon & Garfunkel. But now, after listening to this and Bookends, I want to say that maybe Simon & Garfunkel wasn’t as great as I thought. And maybe Paul Simon had to do what he could to regain relevance. Onto this album though, there were exactly 2 songs I had heard from this album prior, Homeward Bound and 7 O’Clock News. And those are probably the only ones I will relisten to. Mostly Homeward Bound although 7 O’Clock News makes an interesting christmas playlist. Season: Early Winter Favorite Song: Homeward Bound

2.5 - Meh

Song 1: Scarborough Fair/ Canticle -- wir droppen den album title einfach song 1 lol- "then she´ll be a true love of mine" geht lwk hart- sehr ruhig- nettes lied aber es fehlt "der moment" oder hook.. Song 2: Patterns -- coole drum sounds- dramatischer aber immernoch lowfi production- Song 3: Cloudy -- "I havent seen you in a long time" - schönste sounds bis jetzt Song 4: Homeward Bound -- kenn ich schon - banger - Song 5: The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine -- schnellstes lied bis jetzt - we live in a society - groovy am ende Song 6: The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin` Groovy)- kenn ich schon- groovy- idk ob ich mag wie er "groovy" singt lol- süsses kleines lied Song 7: The Dangling Conversation -- wieder ruhiger- interessante instrumente- gutes lied, mag den text Song 8: Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall -- schon gespeichert- mittleres tempo - ähnlich stark wie das lied davor Song 9: A Simple Desultory Phillippic- Rockiger aber selbst für ´66 eher nüchtern- straight edge (?)- komische lyrics, muss vllt nochmal angeguckt werden Song 10: For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her- sehr ruhig- bereits gespeichter- emily mentioned roter kreis- ganz nett aber idk es fehlt für mich diese extra note mal wieder Song 11: A Poem on the Underground Wall -- gespeichert - lyrics die "hart" aufeinander folgen- stärkere emotionen als bei einigen anderen liedern tho Song 12: 7oclock news/ silent Night -- xmas lied all of a sudden ??? huh - coast to coast vibe mit unterlegtem monolog - Album: Sammlung netter kleiner Lieder - Lofi vibes und production- winter stimmung 6 oder 7 lol von 10 ?

Every song is just a rip off of “Teamocil” by Dr. Fünke’s 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution.

Staples of the era but either overplayed or uninteresting.

Not their best. Don't know why it's on this list. IMHO it has no stand out tracks.

Not my cup of tea.

no me gusto tanto

As a kid, I always thought of Simon & Garfunkel as corny music for grown-ups. It’s still that, but also way weirder than I was expecting.

2.25 - I want to like this. I like plenty of music inspired by this, but I just don't like this.

bem normal, nada muito cativante, mas divertido até

17. 사이먼 앤 가펑클 - 파슬리, 세이지, 로즈마리 앤 타임 (1966) 총 12곡 수록, 28분. 잔잔하고 좋은 노래들이 많음 근데 난 잔잔한 노래보다는 시끄러운 노래가 좋음 더 댕글링 컨버세이션은 괜찮나? 싶기도 한줄평: 그 이 밴드 뭐 유명한거 있지 않았나 취향: ★★☆☆☆ 재방문: ★★☆☆☆

POURQUOI IL Y A DOUCE NUIT RAAAAAAAHHH c'est littéralement juste bob dylan

2.5

C+

This was not my cup of tea. I can understand that based on lyrics it can be a good listen but it all feels bland and all similar.

I probably would have appreciated this more had I been born 10-20 years earlier.

han mich eigentlich fast ned ufd musig chöne achte wills ned so spannend gsi isch, bis Silent night am Schluss cho isch wo mi biz fertig gmacht het. Da hets leider gar ned garfunklet. 2 halbvertröchneti Rosmarin-büsch

Meh

first half made me feel something at times, totally get why one would love them. folksy stuff isn’t typically my thing but parts were good. second half so boring. also robert mcnamara song sounded like bob dylan, maybe all 60s rock folk is by dylan

Not my favourite Simon and Garfunkel album

Thankfully short

Scarborough Fair/ Canticle: No es para NADA mi estilo. Me da un poco de miedo, tipo es medio tetrica, no me gusto. Patterns: Los mismo, para nada mi estilo, peeeeroooooo, la instrumental de esta esta muy buena. Igualmente no la pondria en una playlist asi como para escucharla. Cloudy: Otra vez, no es mi estilo. Mejor que la primera es, pero tampoco la escucharia. Homeward Bound: Buenas vibras, pero todas me parecen turbias. The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine: Creo que es una de las que mas me gusto, muy buena vibra, peor tampoco me encanta. The 59th Street Bridge Song: Me da miedo The Gangling Conversation: No se pero esta me da muco¿ho mas miedo que las demas, al menos el principio. Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall: Esta es buenas vibras, una de las que mas me gusto. A Simple Deultory Philippic: No es mi estilo de musica, pero meh. For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her: Me da miedo basta A Poem on the Underground Wall: No me gusto 7 O'clock News /Silent Night: La que mas miedo me dio lejos. En concljusion, la muscica de esta epoca y de este tipo me parece muy turbia, tipo me da mucho miedo mal. No es mi estilo, no me gusto la verdad

It’s not exceptional

Nope. Cant do the whole album.

not my thing

4/1 Nothing really stands out on this one

It was beautiful 500 years ago. Sappy now.

Respect but slow for me

A fine listen, nothing memorable to me really. Vocals are very pleasant, melodies are fine, but something is missing for me

No termino de decidir si me gustó o no, al principio senti que íbamos a hacer hechizos en bosque, después todo se volvió triste. Mi cancion favorita Homeward Bound. Le doy 2/5.

qcy lo escuche en el gimnasio y no era la vibra, pero algo amoroso en el campo me hizo llegar. con mi pareja

Lite mysigt men väldigt lugnt

Not exactly what I expected. This is a good example of a lot of hype but not the result I wanted.

more?

Get out of my face Paul Simon. It's a 2 because I admit it's influence and some good songs, but it's a 2 because Paul Simon can go take a walk for all I care.

It’s just a bit to weird for me. Didn’t love it

Yes, obvious quality. But I won’t listen again.

It has a few bangers - Scarborough Fair, Homeward Bound, Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, but it's pretty pretentious and wannabe Bob Dylan! They hadn't found their voice as individuals yet.

I expect I’m supposed to like this. I don’t remember this album but my parents certainly played a lot of music like this (more often America) in my extreme youth and in this regard might expect a certain nostalgia. But it’s not there. This is boring vanilla and unexciting especially for the time. My grandparents had a nice cabinet based color TV when I was a kid too - doesn’t mean I want to watch movies on it today. 2/5

There’s something so condescending about Paul Simon in particular. He’s a talented guy but these songs are either pretend or pretentious. The key to successful satire is you have to do it better than your target. He most certainly does not when he makes fun of Bob Dylan. He comes off as the folk scene version of Napoleon. Good at what he does but completely self serving.

93. 60s

meh, i need something bigger

they are gay lovers

I really like the layering on the first song. And I sounds like a ballad. Like what, put me in game of thrones. The rest of it was ight

Not sure what I was expecting. It sounds like being in a forest and trying to find a way out but never finding it. Idk decent.

Maybe there is a time a place for this album but the day I listened to it was not that time or place.

What a soft boring album.

This isn’t a bad album, it’s definitely more of a slow paced and quiet vibe. I wouldn’t really consider listening to the whole thing again, nothing really jumped out at me. It’s one I would be listening to in late fall/winter. A couple of the songs were added to my quiet morning playlist on Spotify. Overall it’s not bad but it’s definitely not one I would be recommending let alone listening to again.

Gejaule.

Saai

It’s a nice record overall, but there isn’t a single truly catchy song on it for me.

The album with Homeward Bound I gotta say, not listened to this since the 70's, and it quickly becomes clear that's really where it belongs When my kids ask about the 60's, I'll be playing them the Beatles, Beach Boys, Phil Spector and now this album as a primer - I look forward to seeing their reaction! Like a fine wine, that did not age well

I love these guys but thing really never took off after the brilliant title track. The Bob Dylan parody was pretty fun though. ⭐️⭐️

algunos temas me hacen acordar a bob dylan, bien sesentera la onda del álbum, aunque solo me llamaron la atención 2 o 3 temas. bastante mid pero es aceptable la calidad bajo mi punto de vista

Too much of that time period

2.5

I think I can say, I don't enjoy Simon & Garfunkel. The whole album is just a bore. The lyrics don't draw you in and the music itself isn't intriguing.

A very solid album, quite a bit more musically diverse than I was expecting. High 2s.
