Negative Positive
Title: Deeply disappointing
Review: I've been a passionate Paul Simon fan from his early work w/ Garfunkel to the present, but this is set of songs is his weakest work possibly ever. Paul Simon has created so much beautiful music and brilliant lyrics over the years, but this set is just not up to his former standard. It's like he was on cruise control and just put something out, without thinking much about it or trying very hard. With the exception of 'Love', which is wonderful, the songs are weak and uninspired. The lyrics are annoying, preachy, and, especially on 'Pigs, Sheep and Wolves', badly sophomoric. I hope this CD doesn't show that he's lost his musical genius, and that his next CD will be a return to former greatness, but I now have my doubts. I'm getting rid of my copy.
Is the review positive or negative?
