Title: Listen to it 10x before you judge
Review: Paul Simon amazed me again with an album that should be placed on a pedestal that reaches the heavens. In this album, Simon is more obviously the driving force behind the music, but it also keeps much of the African and South American tones of Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints. Thankfully, Victor Nguini is present on the album--he is guitar's posterboy of understated guitar work genius. Like Radiohead, Simon's last few albums are not catchy, but grow on you more and more everytime you listen to them. Even if you hate the music of this album, you should buy it just for the lyrics. Peaceful as a Hurricane Eye is one of the most amazing songs, lyrically, I've ever heard.
