Title: aging,growing,living and dying
Review: four days ago, I was ready to review this as a very dissapointing album...I am a staunch Paul Simon fan, and after two listenings I went to amazon. I saw I was the first review and decided that I couldn't let Paul have a bad first review. Then I listened again....and again...and again. What was I thinking? How could I be so foolish? This is a wonderful piece. I don't think it is always accessible...Paul isn't the most accessible artist....I don't think it is always brilliant...but it is art. It dares to be different...to be quiet...to be expressionistic in a world of to the point crap. This is the heartbeat of our quietest genius, the expression of aging, growing, living and dying. I agree that some of the talk singing is annoying, and some of it is a little less than inspired...but we should revere the artist that dares to write the unwriteable. So listen....again and again....it will grow in you, and age, and live but probably not die for awhile
Is the review positive or negative?
