This is really good, a middle ground between Simon and Garfunkel and the Paul Simon of Graceland I grew up with.
I like my version of X&Y more, but this is a better album. So much promise of what they could be vs. what they became.
An OK listen, not bad but not a lot grabbed me.
More sophisticated zep, needs another listen.

Very seashantish; not bad, but that is what is most memorable.
Not a good sign when, listening to the first track, you think to yourself: this just goes on and on...
What an album! 70s Soul is a gap in my music library and this is a good addition- I wish I could add half stars because this album is almost perfect.
A solid album that falters in the latter half of side 2.
Its age is showing, if I'd heard this in the 90s, I probably would've loved it dearly.
Not a Dead fan, but this was good. Their reputation as a jam band isn't really on display here- for the better. Just a nice set of good tunes.
Probably 3.5 stars, but a solid album.
Really captures the music at the end of the 80s/start of the 90s. May sound dated now, but I can hear the inspiration many artists pulled from this band.
endless harmonies
I just can't with this band- either I like it or immediately tune it out.
It doesn't have the flow of Rubber Soul, but it signals growth in their songwriting and studio experimentation.
Psychedelica and long guitar solos still elude me- some quality songs, but I could not finish this.
Good, but nothing really grabbed me.
The hits good, some are great! But the rest is forgettable.

His baritone was not yet there.
The hits are great, the misses...
Not bad, but nothing grabbed me.
