Title: Neil Diamond--One poetic voice of the 60s
Review: Neil Diamond, for better or for worse, sang his collection of ballads, love songs, etc. for those who would listen and for those who could listen. In some sense his music is soothing to the soul, speaking in weak poetry but potent prose the language of the heart, the mind and the soul. His music is sometimes almost trivial. At other times profound. I recommend listening, moving past the weak poetry and letting the mind and the heart hear his subtle but wondrous use of words to span the range of human emotion. I must admit that a certain amount of my attraction to Neil Diamond songs is sentimental and I owe the recent burst of sentimentality to the fact that I have awakened to the clock radio twice this past week playing Neil Diamond.
Is the review positive or negative?
