Title: Don't listen just once
Review: Paul Simon is/was a genius. But on the first take, I was disappointed by this album. I was ready to put it aside and move on. But, giving him the benefit of a doubt, I came back to it. By the 4th play I was hooked. There is a lot here; not the immediately compelling rhythms of Graceland or the transparent grace of Rhythm of the Saints or accessible poetry of Hearts and Bones, BUT: some really fine songs and musicianship, if you give it time and a chance.
Is the review positive or negative?
