1001 Albums Summary

Definitely interesting sounding with the use of African musicians adding a unique flavor compared to most western music. Doesn't really grab me though and a lot of songs feel like they don't go anywhere. I love You Can Call Me Al though and I think it's the zenith of what this album is trying to do in terms of combining kinda softer pop rock, Simon's odd and infectious delivery, and the African sounds.

Really nice guitar playing here and some interesting lyrics. But I feel like most of the songs sound too similar.
