A time comes in all of our lives where we must choose: Simon or Garfunkel?  I think most people pick Simon and you can certainly see why from this album.  Garfunkel seems a lot less of a tight ass though.  Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

Anyway, this is a really experimental album.  Simon incorporates all different kinds of music in it, from Jamaican to folk rock.  He also happens to possess one of the sweetest voices known to mankind.  All this makes for a pretty beautiful album.  Still, it is not the most interesting one I have ever heard.  Worth a listen though.

RATING: 3/5
