Title: Flawed Masterpiece
Product review: It was "The Sound of Silence" that got me into this fantastic group in the first place. I thought that it could not be improved upon, but then I heard their next three albums. It improved! The poetic folk-rock brilliance of "The Sound of Silence" is stunning, though it is not equaled by any other song on the CD. "Leaves that are Green" is a slightly irritating piece of poetry, "Blessed" is an overly religious screamathon, and "Kathy's Song"'s mediocre melody makes it forgettable. The album bounces back with the enjoyable "Somewhere They Can't Find Me," and the doubly depressing two suicide songs, "Richard Corey" and "Peculiar Man" are really beautiful. I'm not much of a fan of "I am a Rock," though "Groovy Thing" is catchy. What an amazing early album, anyway...
