Title: Verses out of rhythm, couplets out of rhyme
Review: What happened to the great Paul Simon? The guy that made all of that timeless music in the '60s with Art Garfunkel? The guy that made one of my all-time favorite albums "There Goes Rhymin' Simon"? The guy that created "Graceland"?Simon has written more than his share of great tunes, and has turned out plenty of good albums. This is definitely NOT one of them.He sings flat and out of tune, the songs have little to no melodies to speak of, the lyrics are just a bunch of pseudo-intellectual but ultimately nonsensical ramblings for the most part, and Simon just sounds like he's had it.This is weak, weak, weak. Considering other fairly recent failures such as "The Capeman," and the fact that both his voice and his imagination appear to be shot, it might be time to call it a career.
