Title: One of the great pop albums
Product review: I'm glad to read the other comments about "Hearts and Bones" posted here; I thought I and my piano teacher were the only two people in America who believe this album is Simon's best. "Rene and Georgette Magritte" alone should have earned this album a Grammy; following that masterpiece with "Johnny Ace" packs a huge emotional wallop that, in my mind, transcends the pop genre. This album exposes as myth the claim that an artist can't write about his own life and still keep wit, irony, and poetry in the mix. Simon does it all. (The album that, for me, comes closest to Hearts and Bones in successfully melding personal insight with great music is Springsteen's Tunnel of Love.) I envy any Simon fan (or music fan) who has yet to hear this album for the first time.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
