Title: Lyrically brilliant
Product review: Lyrical MagnificencePaul Simon is one of the greatest lyricists of the last fifty years, in any musical genre. His words are sheer poetry and this art is exemplified on this magnificent album. Some people curiously dismiss Simon and Garfunkle as "passe" or "dated," but they obviously haven't listened to this record.What's interesting is that the hit songs from this disc (Scarborough Fair, Feelin' Groovy and Homeward Bound) are not as good as some of the sleepers. Listen to the simple poetic beauty of "Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall" and "The Dangling Conversation." Another incredibly catchy tune is "Cloudy," which never got any airplay but which is classy as any song Simon ever wrote.Paul Simon is unmatched as a lyricist, nothing Dylan or Lennon and McCartney (not even "Eleanor Rigby") can compete with the poetic majesty of this man. Listen to this record and find out for yourself or confirm what you already knew. A magnificent album!
