Rated 6/10
Hard for me to rate because
- I was surprised at how many of the songs I already knew
- I really got a bit tired of all the harmonizing schtick by the end of the album
- the songs kept running through my mind for a couple of days after listening to
So it’s kinda of a love/hate thing.
Rated 6/10
Latin-electro-jazz-funk
Rated 4/10
A two-hour slog through what sounds like a bunch of Beatles outtakes.
Rated 4/10
I didn’t really like it in the 80s either.
Rated 6/10
Starts off strong with “Cisco Kid”, but then doesn’t really grab me after that.
Paul Simon himself provides the review of this album: “all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity”. 2/5.
Rated 6/10
Probably an amazing album if you really like salsa and Latin vibes.
Rated 8/10
Simultaneously futuristic and nostalgic
Rated 4/10
Great band and backup vocals, but the lead singer isn’t very good.

Hard not to like.
Rated 8/10

Rated 6/10
It was fine, but nothing really grabbed me.
Rated 2/10
These guys seem talented, but did anyone tell them that Prog rock does not mean “incoherent jumble of notes”?
Rated 8/10
Enjoyed it more than I expected.
Rated 6/10
Sometime over the top 70s rock is kind of fun. Probably won’t listen again though.
Rated 6/10
The hits were okay, but some of the other stuff not so much. Might listen again.
Rated 8/10
Classic American folk music.
Rated 8/10
Objectively this is probably not a 4/5, but I’m giving it a 4 because
1. Iconic album cover
2. Its outsized influence on early alternative new wave
3. Nostalgia
Rated 4/10
Wow I never noticed this on their hits, but that guy can not carry a tune.
Rated 6/10
This album is best when it is at its most soulful, bluesy mood. The rest—not so much.
