Reviews (page 8 of 8)
I gave the first two songs a solid listen. I skipped around through the tracks. I picked random points of songs to listen to. I finally accepted, this is not my thing and I will not make it all the way through. a couple lyrical sweet spots, but that's about it. (maybe it would've been better if he hadn't erased Garfunkel's contributions? just sayin...)
Snooze
Just because it says Paul Simon doesn’t mean it’s any good
This was bad he is talented just the album content was lacking
Definitely not on part with his work in Simon & Garfunkel. This was not for me in the slightest. Almost shut it off by the ridiculousness of Cars are Cars. Yes Paul, cars ARE cars, now please stop singing! 1/5
Bounced hard off this, many songs sound like something you come up with in the shower.
I know 'Heart & Bones' is a big track but not for me and the rest of the album is a bit boring.
I got 2 songs in and was just.... I'm not gonna waste my time. I know what I'm in for.
Wow. This is possibly the most vanilla album on the list. Paul Simon is a talented and successful artist, but this - this is just bleh.
Boring
Felt everything was boring and uninteresting. The vocals were fairly soulless pop and the instrumentals were also nothing special
1.5 probably. Dull.
So bad it hurt my soul
Not good.
Fuck everything about this album. Jesus titty fucking Christ
Not for me. Some of it has aged very badly
Boring and in places comically bad
Could Paul Simon be the most over-rated artist of all-time? Why not send us a collection of John Denver Ballads? I'm baffled how this LP, which was a commercial and critical failure, could be picked over many exceptional and influential LPs that did not make the 1001 list. I was willing to suffer through the whole thing, but my co-judge told me to take this "middle-of-the-road garbage" off after three songs.
Absolutely shite.
Wtf is this? Lyrics are awful, musically meandering...ugh
Again, some album that no one has ever heard. Are they picking the most obscure albums from some of the biggest names just to make sure you listen to them? To be fair, early 80s Paul Simon sucks anyway. Muzak with falsetto vocals.
Feels like a children's school album. Would much prefer listening to Simon and Garfunkel. This has all my least favorite of the 80s elements in the album.
pffffffffffffffffffffffffffbgbghhf
Not good
Think his older work is much better
One thing this process has taught me us that Ireally dont like Paul Simon hes mumbly wistful obtuse storytelling just gets my goat. The music is just bland and the whole thing sucks man. If this album were to a fairground ride it would be one that goes really slow and boring but still makes you sick and break your legs. Probably give you tinnitus as well.
no mamen. demasiado paul simon. no vale la pena.
There must be some mistake here in including this album. I’d subtract a star if I could knowing that Simon’s next album was Graceland.
Garfunkel hard carried this chud
weird white man island music
Soft, bloated, unoffensive, smugly inane lyrics, about as much character as white bread. If he wasn't already famous, he'd have been laughed out of the studio (\"2 x 2 is 22\", \"cars are cars\"). Some good session musicians trying to keep a straight face while playing on this dross, but doesn't redeem it. Negative 5 stars, I will go out of my way to burn any physical copies I find.
RRRRAAAASSSSSSPPP!
Not a fan. Sounded like Jimmy Buffet crossed with The Meat Puppets at times.
More easy listening if you’re into easy listening. Inoffensive if you’re not into offensive. This is “safe music” and you put it on if you don’t want anyone complaining in a crowd because while it isn’t special in any way, people are afraid to say they don’t like something Paul Simon has put out and don’t care for this pedestrian album. This sounds like an album Paul Simon’s label put out when when he has no hits.
10 ply.. Super soft. Just.. Goofy lyrics.
Not my cuppa
