Title: Worst Paul Simon Album Ever!!
Review: Horrible. This is the word that I kept muttering to myself as I listened to the new Paul Simon album. As I was buying "You're The One" I had visions of "Graceland" dancing through my head. That is, I believe, one of the best albums I've ever heard. It sounds as great today as it did fifteen years ago. His follow up, "The Rhythm of the Saints", was also very good. But whatever you do, don't go expecting his new one to be anywhere in the same ballpark as those two. That was my mistake and I couldn't have been more disappointed. There's not one song that has a memorable melody. The songwriting is weak to say the least. And that half singing/half speaking thing he does is incredibly annoying. He's done it only sparingly in the past so it's never bothered me that much, but he does it way too much on this album. If he just wants to read bad poetry than he needs to go ahead and do that. That way the rest of us who prefer music can save our money and skip it.
Is the review positive or negative?
