Title: Doesn't Work
Review: This is a really bad Paul Simon album (I never thought I could even think those words). It is by far his worst, so far below anything he has ever released. I recently went on the net and read a few interviews with Paul Simon. All of them referred to how Paul is a craftsman, takes great care with his work, and won't release anything that he is not proud of. In light of his comments over the years I am frankly surprised that this is even out there. I have just about everything that Simon has released and I like everything except You're The One. The songs are unmemorable, the lyrics are often forced and awkward. After I recently had a renewed interest in Paul's music I went back and listened to this cd again, thinking perhaps I was too hard on it. I could barely get through one listen. If you are considering getting this you would do much better to instead buy any of Paul Simon's other works.
Is the review positive or negative?
