Bridge Over Troubled Water

Brilliant album.

"I was blinded by the balls on that kid." It's odd to have this album associated to Kevin Spacey but in spite of that I loved this album.

One of the best albums. The original chill vibe. Fuckin love Paul Simon

Songwriting doesn’t get much better than this

On the one hand, I'm already growing weary of getting so many boomer rock LPs in a row. I'm ready to hit basically anything else next. On the other, I think that Paul Simon's compositions and Art Garfunkel's angelic voice are as perfect of a musical pairing as will ever exist. I have too much love for their music to be very objective, but I'll admit that the album peaks with "The Boxer", and that last third mostly kind of coasts. That's not great for such a short album, but at the same time, I wouldn't call anything on here remotely bad. And at its best, this is pop folk at its highest form. A

I really think this is one of the most American records ever made. There are a lot of quintessential American music ideas on this album that combine to create an extremely soulful record you just wouldn’t see today.

It's beautiful but also a bit sad. I feel in a melancholy mood could cry to The Boxer and the title track. But there are also happy songs like Baby Driver and Celilia which make it a rollercoaster of emotions. Paul Simon's songwriting is usually great, and both his and Art Garfunkels vocals transform the tracks to another level. I used to listen to Simon and Garfunkel solely through their Essential CD and all but Why Don't You Write To Me were on it, which is a good indication of how great this album is.

This is some seriously hippy-dippy bullshit and the fact that I still love it means that it gets a 5. I feel like the title song, one degree to the left or right, just becomes too dumb to live. But right where it is, is perfect. Also, the album art has always made Garfunkel look like he's got a massive fu manchu. But it's also got three or four all-time great songs ever written, at least.

My goodness, so many good songs here. And so many that I didn't realise I knew. Pick of the bunch is 'Baby Driver', but I'm wondering - did these guys pioneer noise gated drums? Otherwise, what is that snare sound on the title track and 'The Boxer'? What an achievement. Going to go buy a physical copy of this bad boy post haste.

Yeah, kinda hard to argue with the sheer songwriting chops on this mofo. Every single song gives you something new to savor in a way that's different from the song that preceded it without doing a genre tour or trying to put on hats that do not fit. Which is extra good, because I don't think a lot of hats are going to fit on that big ol' Garfunkel doo anyway, amirite? Bonus points for inspiring at least two movie titles.

The title track is just incredible, one of my favorite of all time. And legitimizes Art Garfunkel's contribution to the album. I didn't remember that it was also the first track, which seems like strange timing/organization. Feels like it should be the closer on either side one or two. The Boxer would be a great lead in to it. That is also an incredible song. Paul Simon is just a super talented writer and composer. The poetry in these soaring songs is great, but so is his biting observation in some of the more upbeat pieces - I forgot how much fun and witty Keep the Customer Satisfied Was. Baby Driver also super fun (a little less witty) and Cecilia was fun at one point in its life. But really, why not an upbeat side (3, 4, 7, 9, 10) and a subdued side (8, 2, 5, 6, 11, 1) to the album? Or slowly build up the pace before walking it back down again? Probably being too critical here, it's a pretty great work of art.

5 Sterne ohne nachzudenken. Da ist alles da. Von Bossa Nova (So long frank lloyd wright) über die kleinen intimen momente (song for the asking, the only living boy in new york), bis zu den ganz großen gesten (Bridge over troubled water). Natürlich the Boxer. Weniger Folkig, aber warm und fuzzy. Großes Kino.

7/10 love it

Fantastic all the way through. An absolute classic. Though the randomly inserted live cover of "Bye Bye Love" was weird and out-of-place. The title track gets much attention, but it actually might be my least favorite on the album. For me, "The Boxer" and "Only Living Boy in New York" are far more interesting.

Even the non-hits on this album are rich in both their lyrics and their musical stylings. And the hits are monstrous. Both The Boxer and Bridge... are quintessential folk-pop anthems that never get old for me. Only Living Boy... is an emotion-packed lament for one's individuality. If I Could and Cecilia bring the janky rhythms and off-beat instrumentation of world music to the fore, scoring on both points. There's no denying the influence and staying power of this album.

Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of my favorite songs (the way it builds!), The Boxer is one of only songs I could remember all the words to when I was sleep-deprived and blearily rocking my infants to sleep in the middle of night, and Cecilia just always makes me happy.

Of all the Simon and Garfunkel albums, this is THE one. What a way to end the duo’s run! The title track just feels so intimate. They mix intimate with higher energy songs well. Cecilia and The Boxer are two old favorites of mine to sing along to. There are several songs with which I was previously unfamiliar with good energy: Baby Driver, Keep The Customers Satisfied, and Bye Bye Love where the crowd clapping along takes it to another level.

Awesome and beautiful.

Perhaps the greatest album ever made! An absolute timeless classic record born from the mind of Paul Simon, and brought to life by Art Garfunkel's astounding vocal performances. Every track hits, every second counts.

I love this album. Everything hits for me including the live "bye bye love".

Really enjoyed a lot of these, especially Cecilia. Some smoking funeral songs amongst the tracks.

Has to be in the top ten greatest albums of all time. Just fantastic on every level. Really enjoyed revisiting it. 😀

5/5. Ngl, kinda gorgeous doe

Any excuse to listen to this!

Gotta get on that bridge, seems like a good time

An awesome album, very consistent throughout and the changes in tone are well navigated. Loved the big hits, and loved discovering the other gems throughout. The harmonies and story telling are just excellent. Special shoutout to Only Living Boy in New York for being incredible.

I love Simon and Garfunkel (and Paul Simon solo), and this album has so many great hits on it. Bridge Over Troubled Water, Cecilia, The Boxer are all greatest hits, but my lesser known favourites are Keep the Customer Satisfied and Song for the Asking.

Some may decide to give this album only 3 star and thats so unfortunate because I think it's an easy 5 stars.

This album was a meteor of hope during a very dark time in American history.

10/10 art

A perfect album. Simon and Garfunkel saved their best effort for last. There isn't a bad song on the album. Although there were some huge hits, my favorite song on the album is The Only Living Boy in New York. I loved the song even before I knew what it was about, but when I learned that it was basically Paul Simon giving Garfunkel his blessing to go pursue a film career it made me love it that much more. 5 stars.

The best S&G album, which is fucking saying something.

Fantastic album. So many unforgettable classics in one place, it's unbelievable. Not surprisingly the songwriting is top notch but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be either Baby Driver or the title track.

Never gave them the time of day but glad I did. Really great album

love it. :) the live recording is a bit weird being in there, especially since the quality is noticably worse than the rest of the album. though, it transitions into the final track pretty well. that does mess up stuff when listening to that one track, though. overall, good. fav track: bridge over troubled water / cecilia

Definitely a classic. Every song is memorable.

The iconic duo's final album is definitely their best. Classic songs, surprisingly varied and dynamic, and excellent songwriting and performances all around. A real treat.

My favorite is The Boxer

Beautiful

I mean this is it man.

Amazing, bringing back memories

Good stuff better than i expected

I am humming the songs even before listening to the album.

It's a 5 star from me. Every song is so beautiful in it's own way. Definitely one of best albums of all time

A tour de force

Opens with an absolute banger, so many songs on this album I didn't realise were them. It's incredible on first listen, will be listening again

I forgot how SHORT this album is. Clocking in at under 40 minutes and that includes a live track. Not to be missed.

listened to it twice! wonderful

Best S&G album and just one of my favorites

ok i've got my nostalgia goggles on for sure but this is great, full of stellar songwriting. this album features some of the best s&g songs period. i never noticed how cool the chords in so long frank lloyd wright are. even though i love it, can't give it a perfect score bc it has some more forgettable tracks and i've always found El Condor Pasa to be a little heavy handed. 9/10

What an album. Excellent pacing, loved how it swapped between silly and poignant. 10

9/10. Had a few very good songs, and then some others that just blended into a pleasant background. I especially liked The Boxer.

Did not expect to get a 5 star album so quick. Happy memories combined with amazing harmonies, songwriting and music.

Who doesn't love a little S&G?

My parents had this album in the house and I have since inherited it. It will always have a place in my rotation.

Clásico brutal.

Mmmhm

Gorgeous, heartbreaking, one-of-a-kind...this and Bookends are my favorite S&G works ever!!!

Absolute banger.

Classic

4.5 / 5. Bye, Bye Love is a horrible addition to this album. Everything else is great.

Loved them since I was a kid. Never in life have I gotten tired of listening to Simon & Garfunkel. Bridge Over Troubled Water is one of the best songs in history. Huge fan of The Only Living Boy in NY, The Boxer, and El Condor Pasa. Easy 5 stars for me. If you don't like this album, I can't hang out with you.

What a great album; choc full of songs that have become "standards" The Boxer competes with The Sound of Silence as my favorite S & G song. What always takes me aback is how these guys can ROCK, as they are known as siger-songwriters/folk stars. But to me bands like Wilco and the Shins owe them a huge debt. Favorite tracks; El Condor Passa Celia The Boxer The Only Living Boy in New York ...and of course the title track. 5 🌟

Not only does this album represent the best of Simon & Garfunkel, it also looks ahead to Paul Simon's later work in exploring Latin American and African music. As always, the harmonies are tight, and Simon's lyrics are among the best in the American songbook. On a personal note, Simon & Garfunkel always make me feel nostalgic in a way I can't quite put my finger on. One of the greatest duos of all time.

classic

Absolutely fabulous album from start to finish

Definitely deserves a spot on this list

The piano in bridge over troubled water is beautiful wow. The chords are great. I used to not really like Simon and Garfunkel but I recently listened to bookends and I really loved it. I’m glad I’m listening to another album of theirs. I loved that album.

Well done, S&G

Solid

Amazing. So good. The Boxer is one of the GOATs.

6/10

A classic

Mellow album with their best songs on it

Вполне

Echt top album.

Klassieker!

Een voor een allemaal fantastische nummers.

Classic. Search the hard drive of anyone who says otherwise

FUCKING GREAAAAT

Wonderful and calming

Mooie harmonieën. 'The Boxer' is een prachtnummer. De blazer hier en daar in de nummers zijn fantastisch. De 3e verrassing op rij!

Bij gebrek aan 6 sterren...

I liked it. I liked it. A lot.

Splendid album.

Beautiful album 😍

Amazing songwriting. Genius.

what a pleasure to listen to this through again. i think there's only 1 song i don't like but even then, just songwriting at it's best. 9/10

Bra album. Vil høre igjen

The end of an era. Dream is over. And the record is brilliant

BAITA ÁLBUM, MÚSICAS TOP

Loved it. One of my dad's favorite albums. I remember him blasting Cecilia from the back of his van. I'm happy to hear it again.

I liked every song on this album, and I think the organization of the album was really good, too.

Amazing that I've been hearing these songs for over forty years and that first one can still make me cry. The percussion and instrumentals on Cecelia are delightful. Each time I order a lager I sing "I'd rather be a lager than an ale" to the tune of El Condor Pasa. The range on this album is impressive as hell. I love how many songs are quiet with only guitar, some have choir backing vocals, some have horns or flutes, and each fit the song perfectly, and the songs flow together in an album so well

All good songs on the album. Favorite Song: The Boxer.

Great one!

They went out on top here.

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" es una obra de arte apenas manchada por las exageraciones al final de la canción. Pero además están "The Boxer", "Cecilia", y "Baby Driver" que también rifan. Y me animo a darle las 5 estrellas aunque "El Condor Pasa" no es lo mío, pero incluso en esa el arreglo musical es una chulada.

Iconic, important, wonderful

It's 50 years old and I could still listen to it anytime.

Classic

Well that was an absolute joy from start to finish. Haven't listened to this album since schooldays and it hasn't aged or waned an iota. Stunningly beautiful.

Lots of great hits, including the title song, "The Boxer", "Cecilia". Love it.

Awesome

I sensed some kind of religious undertone from the jump. That promise was fulfilled, and well, with string arrangements galore and a disarming, beautiful, succinct closer. I've mentioned the striving for a religious experience before; Here the album succeeds at it. The songs are not yet sticky in my brain, but it's the kind of project I can see myself considering perfect.

Love this album, it's been a favorite of mine for years

8/10 Coming to this album, I was generally more of a fan of Paul Simon’s solo work than of his work with Art Garfunkel. This is an album that I do listen to from time to time, but Graceland is for me where he peaked. That being said, I was interested to jump into this with a more analytical frame of mind. The first thing that always jumps out at me with Simon’s writing is his ear for a melody. It’s really something, and I always end up with various hooks floating around my head for days after I listen to one of his records. What’s quite nice about his writing, though, is that he doesn’t completely lean into those melodies in a way others would, rather sprinkling them more sporadically among slightly more meandering and subtle melodic sequences, before gathering things up into key moments that just grab hold of you and don’t let go. I think that’s part of the slightly more folksy approach to songwriting, but it also has a slight edge of jazz to it, in a way, in which a motif may present itself various times through a track, while not always being the focus. There’s plenty of good rhythmic work here too, with well layered percussion and tonal sounds coming together to create compelling grooves and rhythms, especially on the more up-tempo efforts. Typically, I do have a slight preference for those more rhythmically driven songs on here and do find that, from time to time, that drifting focus of the slower songs can start to let them drift a touch too far from their core for my liking. It’s not always a problem, and the melodic quality by and large holds things together, but that’s one of the reasons that this doesn’t quite hit the top tier for me. The other thing that jars on this record is the production. For the most part it’s fine, but there are some very odd choices when it comes to reverb in particular. The snare on the title track in the final third is massively overdone, a trick they repeat on The Boxer and The Only Living Boy In New York. They then almost manage to ruin Bye Bye Love by having crowd noise and clapping that is ludicrously loud in the mix. They’re high quality songs that are actually hampered by production choices, when for music like this, production really is at it’s best when it gets out of the way and lets the music do the talking. When they’re not messing about with silly production, the instrumentation and harmonic makeup of the album is rich and varied, with a deft nuance over dynamic and song structure. They raise and lower both the dynamic and tension in such an organic and pretty way, while allowing plenty of space for interwoven lines and thick orchestrations set against more sparse, melodically pure passages. When it’s at it’s best, this album is superb, but it’s a shame that a few odd production choices and some slightly less focused pieces of songwriting don’t let it sit right at the top table. Bridge Over Troubled Water - It’s a delicate, wonderfully meandering vocal melody that gathers itself up into more focused sections in key places to give it a sense of centre. The piano playing is lovely, and the dynamic range as it builds is really nice too. The patience as the instruments and vocal harmony wait to come in during the final third is delightfully restrained. It’s perhaps a touch reverb heavy for me in that final third, to be honest, but I do appreciate the drama of it. El Condor Pasa - Again, this is quite a slow approach, and then it’s very twee, folksy stuff. The melody is pleasant enough, and atmospherically it’s nice, but it doesn’t really do much in the way of development, and the combination of that and the fairly plodding instrumental work, it is a touch on the dull side for me. Cecilia - We pick up the pace now. It’s got a nice stuttering groove to it, and a great central hook. The layered rhythms across the parts are nice, as are the vocal harmonies. I can’t say I’m particularly keen on the fairly tuneless glockenspiel part mind, and it’s doesn’t offer a vast amount of range or development either, but the rhythm and main melodic hook are undeniable. Keep The Customer Satisfied - Again, the melodic work steps to the forefront and I think the rhythmic cadence of the vocal delivery is really swaggering and cool too. The horn parts are great, as is the general pulse of the groove. There’s plenty of variation across the instrumental parts, and a real sense of fun to everything. It’s kind of bombastic, but delightfully so. Just really great fun stuff with some top notch melodic hooks. So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright - This is reminds me a little of the kind of melancholic melodic work of Brian Wilson, but it feels a little bit less focused and more rambling. It’s very pretty, but there are times when things feel a touch aimless. It’s quite instrumentally thin, and with that meandering nature, it does feel too undefined for me. I’m just not quite sure what it’s trying to do and it doesn’t grab me. The Boxer - We’re back on classic avenue now. It grows fairly slowly, and I like the occasional dips in from different instruments to give things a shifting tonal flavour. It’s one with lovely layered, rolling rhythms across the parts that give a solid momentum to things. Again, there are some melodic hooks, such as the lai-la-lai parts which are incredibly well written. Simple but oh, so effective. I’m not 100% sold on the massive reverb on the snare, which has always struck me as a little odd. By the end, we are getting delivered a harmonically rich and moving piece of composition that rolls around beautifully. An excellent song, even if I don’t completely vibe with all of the production choices. Baby Driver - This calls back to the rhythmic style of Keep The Customer Satisfied. It’s light and nimble, with a great, skipping groove, and so much swagger from both the lead vocal and guitar. It’s pretty obvious now that Simon can really write a melody, and that main vocal hook is more of the same. The attitude and fun of this is right up my alley, and there’s more than a touch of Beach Boys to parts of this, but blended really nicely into a folk style. Excellent work. The Only Living Boy In New York - A more sparse number now. It’s laid-back and has a really nice lilt to it. When things start to develop, it’s got an oddly large reverb on it again, which is a choice that I don’t really gel with. There’s more interesting vocal timing in the odd places through this and it’s melodically lovely as usual. This manages to remain a little more focused than some of the dreamier songs from earlier in the album, but still has a slightly ethereal feel, pinned down with a gorgeous, rounded bass line. Not my favourite, but pretty good. Why Don't You Write Me - They definitely get me more on board when they pick up the tempo. This has got a very Beatles feel to it, both rhythmically and vocally, particularly the makeup of the harmony stacks. It’s another that’s great fun and has a compelling groove and bass line that just keeps it rolling along. In fact there’s great guitar work in there too, and the layered rhythmic flow across the instruments is really nice. It’s definitely very Beatlesy, though, and feels all the more like that as it rolls to an end. Bye Bye Love - Another very odd production choice here, in that the crowd is mixed way too high. I don’t know if that was built into the mix and they could do nothing about it, but it’s quite distracting on what is another great track. There is some suggestion from the producer that this was actually studio recorded and the audience were overdubbed, which makes it all the more baffling. Under the persistent clapping, it’s actually got quite a groove to it, and the overlapping work of the bass and guitar are great. It’s another slice of Paul Simon melodic mastery, but yet another odd production choice detracts from it. Song For The Asking - And we close with another exceptionally pretty melodic work. Things do meander a tiny bit, but that works really well with the laid back aesthetic of the track. The stripped back guitar and string backing is incredibly complimentary to Paul Simon’s understated but well presented performance, and it’s just a really enjoyable work to settle into and appreciate.

A wee classic for Monday morning. Favourite track: The Boxer

Simon and Garfukel - BOTW The title track, The Boxer, Only Living Boy... Three of the greatest songs of all time. And the rest ain't bad either 😁 Point lost for the fake live Everley Bros cover and Why Don't You Write Me. But the rest is just perfect. Why the hell did Art have to run off to make movies thus robbing us of any more 😢 One of the very best albums that the Wrecking Crew ever played on too. I wonder how many in this list feature those musicians? 🤔 Best Track - BOTW Worst Track - Why don't you write me. 9/10

i know nothing about/never listened to Simon & Garfunkel, but this felt nostalgic. the vocals and guitar in the background gave me déjà vu. kinda the perfect album for a late-night summer drive with the windows down, and at times made me think of yacht rock.

Really nice music. Some sad, slow stuff and some upbeat relief. Paul Simon is a crazy good songwriter.

An iconic album, that if very much of its time. Cecilia and the Boxer are my favorites.

(Light 8/10) Starts off incredibly strong with "Bridge Over Troubled Water", this original version of the song is so deep and powerful, it knocks my socks off right away. "The Boxer" is also an incredibly powerful song, with it's skillful finger picked guitars and haunting refrains. "Cecilia" is a cheeky little tune that along with "Baby Driver" break up the seriousness of the overall lyrical themes of the album. "The only living boy in New York" is also a rather great tune, having never heard it before now, it's the last great song on the album. After this the final leg of the record leaves something to be desired. "Why Don't You Write Me" and the closer "Song for The Asking" don't leave much of an overall impression for me and "Bye Bye Love" is a live song that has the audience noise turned way up in the mix because apparently they likened the crowd to their own type of percussion. I just think it really breaks me out of the spell and it's super distracting to me as a listener. So yeah, while I don't much care for how the album ends, there's no denying just how amazing the first leg of the record is, the songwriting is superb and the production for the most part is just incredible. Certainly a great record.

The title track was very beautiful, I remember hearing it for the first time at a school concert in a choir performance. All the songs are very beautiful, but sometimes it feels like other people can understand things I can't from the lyrics. Like there's something right in front of me I can't see. Is there something wrong with me that it doesn't move me like it does for others?

Some of this is very beautiful but I wasn’t enthralled the whole way through.

nice guitar and chill vibe. feels old, and thats not a bad thing,, nice vocals, and feels like usa in late summer/fall,, downtown vibes. slow & soft, wouldnt listen in my spare time too much. 70s vibes for sure. gives country a bit, it is folk yes i just realized, something youd hear on the radio in the 60s-70s. love that. if youd like to take your mind off some things give it a try! some songs are soft, nostalgic and flowy, while others are more upbeat with a lively style. even if it isnt quite my taste, it is lovely and some songs may end up in my playlist in the making! the instruments are really comforting for some reason.

Beautiful album, great voices and production, surprisingly funky in some places

pretty

Such a great album-full of hits and reflections

My God, Paul Simon can write a song. And the beautiful arrangements wring every last drop of emotion out of the incredible lyrics. Close to, but not quite, perfection. If I could give it 4.5 I would. A parsimonious 4*.

A couple songs are a bit too hippie woo for me, but the familiar songs are absolutely classics. Maybe not entirely coherent as an album, but still an important piece of music history

I like the energy of this record, each tracks sounds different yet the record is consistent. Favorite tracks : Bridge over Troubled Water, Cecilia

I really enjoy this duo, love their voices and songs Favs songs - Bridge Over Troubled Water, Baby Driver 4/5

Very pretty. Always had a fondness for this one. Some great little tunes on it.

It’s too bad Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had creative differences and went solo. Their work together is so fucking awesome. What a farewell album. Also I’ve known bridge over troubled water off this album forever.. I just never realized it was Paul Simon’s original work. Crazy. Just an absolute masterpiece of a staple in the singer song writer lane, and this record literally screams autumn nights with candles lit and lights down low. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again those vibes are just so warm and nostalgic, I’m a whore for it.

What a beautiful experience and perfect way to end the day. Simon and Garfunkel pulled it off they ended the 60s era in the best way. I only knew this song because of Baby Driver as it once was my favorite movie. I sit and I think about being the only living boy in New York and here I am. Healed and a New Yorker on the train to work I’m like everyone else only more so. The audacity to include a live song in their album is truly the sign of artistry. Bye bye love being live because it’s a happy song that has terribly sad lyrics purposefully and hearing the crowd clap it’s a victory lap before the ending song for asking where they promise us they will play forever as they love it. Simon and Garfunkel wanted to make a bridge over troubled waters of life and they provided us a look down at life and a last look at themselves before they go away. Beautiful. Folk music is and was so full and expressive and this album came at the perfect time

Members of the Art Garfunkel hive....assemble!

bye bye love always gets me a little verklempt

4.5

I liked it

Great

Alkaa yhdellä kauneimmista kappaleista mitä oon kuullu ja kohta tulee: Gee, but it's great to be back home! Tyylilaji vaihtelee kappaleesta toiseen mutta slbumiin mahtuu silti kivoja ja kauniita kappaleita. Bridge ehdottomasti paras kaikista.

4/5. Despite being their most iconic album, if I were to rank the 5 main Simon and Garfunkel records, Bridge over Troubled Water would find itself second to last. Which mainly has to do with the ending portion of the album. The A-side however is pretty much perfect. The opening title track has what might be Art Garfunkels best vocal performance, “El-Condor Pasa” has a very fun and distinct instrumental, “Keep the Customer Satisfied” is a horn-laced banger. “Cecilia” is also great, though I have always found the fact that Cecilia cheats on him in his own bedroom to be hilarious. I also love “So Long Frank Lloyd Wright” with its beautiful flute passages. However the best song here, and a contender for S&G’s best song is “The Boxer.” That build and those snare hits still gives me chills every time. And to get that loud/intense snare sound they hit the drum in front of an open elevator shaft. The album continues on well up until “the only living boy in New York”, but then I feel like the album does lost some steam in its last leg. There’s a random live cover of the Everly Brothers “By Bye Love”, which is a bit of a full-circle moment for S&G considering how much their music was influenced by them, but it does also feel out of place on this album. And “Song for the Asking” and “why don’t you write me” are both just okay. Despite my mixed feelings on the last leg, Bridge Over Troubled water is still a great album and a great send off for the duo before they began their many decades of hating each-other.

Das fünfte und letzte gemeinsame Studioalbum des amerikanischen Duos entstand über einen ungewöhnlich langen Zeitraum verteilt auf mehrere Orte: Erste Aufnahmen für „The Boxer" liefen bereits Ende 1968 in Nashville, die Gesangsspuren wurden unter anderem in der St. Paul's Chapel der Columbia University eingesungen, während die Instrumentalspur des Titelsongs mit Session-Musikern in Hollywood entstand. Fertiggestellt wurden die Aufnahmen schließlich in den Columbia Studios in New York, bevor Columbia Records das Album im Januar 1970 veröffentlichte. Musikalisch ist dies der Moment, in dem Simon & Garfunkel ihren folkigen Ursprung endgültig hinter sich lassen. Gospel-Anleihen, Orchestrierung und Weltmusik-Elemente – etwa das andine Ensemble Los Incas bei „El Condor Pasa" – treten neben die gewohnte Zweistimmigkeit, ohne dass die Intimität früherer Platten verloren geht. Art Garfunkels Gesang auf dem Titelstück trägt eine fast kirchliche Wucht, während Paul Simons Songwriting zunehmend internationale Klangfarben erkundet, ein Weg, den er Jahre später mit „Graceland" konsequent weiterverfolgen sollte. Dass ausgerechnet dieses ambitionierteste Werk des Duos auch sein letztes wurde, gibt dem Album im Rückblick eine bittersüße Note; man hört förmlich, wie zwei Musiker ihre kreative Partnerschaft ein letztes Mal auf den Höhepunkt treiben, während sie sich privat bereits auseinanderlebten. Es ist ein Abschied, der zugleich als Höhepunkt funktioniert – selten liegen Ende und Vollendung so nah beieinander.

a great collection of music that goes from sullen to fun and shows multiple collages of emotion.

No hitto! Mistä asti tällä levyllä on ollu The Only Living Boy in New York ja mistä asti se on ollu näin kiva biisi?? 🥹 Alkaa tää levy näköjään kasvamaan minuunki 😌 Muutama biisi vielä oottaa puhkeamista täyteen kukkaan, mut 5-6 ihan timanttia 💎

Solid line up of timeless ones there

Solid Simon & Garfunkel

Peaceful and groovy

This one is so good. Some of my most favourite songs of all time are on this album. But there are some boring ones too, so not sure if I can give it the full 5. 4.5/5

Track 1 : good opener, solid build in dynamics that keep the song moving in a forward direction, love the mixing on the drums very atmospheric. 6/10 Track 2: very mid-evil vibes, reminds me of Sumer of 1353 by Flight of the Concords, love Paul’s vocal flips on this track, overall solid song. 7/10 Track 3: groovy drums, millennial hope core vibes, definitely would consider this a guilty pleasure. 6/10 Track 4: makes me wanna bob up and down, same vibes as Baby Driver, like the instrumental choices, horns and Wurlitzer are a nice touch. 6/10 Track 5: Idk who Frank Loyd Wright is but he’s a lucky man to have Paul Simon write this beautiful song about him, bossanova drums are soothing, flute might make me transcend. 6/10 Track 6: The best S&G song fight me, perfect harmonies, love the bassoon?, lovely instrumental choices for the bridges, very whimsical but also so fucking depressing, once again the drum mixing is fantastic, the way the ending of Dramamine scared Degnan is the same way the ending of The Boxer scares me. 10/10 Track 7: I’m hopping, I’m bopping, I’m moving, I’m grooving, just a tremendously energetic banger. 9/10 Track 8: solid S&G track, the outro is the best part. 7/10 Track 9: haven’t listened to too much S&G but this is by far the grooviest of their albums that I’ve heard, just your basic mid-late 60s pop song, seems like they were trying to emulate the Beatles Rubber Soul vibes somewhat. 7/10 Track 10: since it’s a live version I will refrain from making any statements on the mix or sound quality, that being said the claps are too loud and annoy me, other than not liking how it sounds it’s a good pop performance from Paul, I do like the slap back in the bass. 5/10 Track 11: like the transition from the last song to this one, like the chord changes, the strings add a lightness that greatly benefits the song, solid album closer. 7/10 Overall: 4/5 Favorite track: The Boxer Least Favorite track: Bye Bye Love

Vraiment très cool, chill et j'ai beaucoup aimé les sonorités, les harmonies etc

Some great songs on this album.

This was a pleasant Saturday morning listen. Good classic songs that just start the day off right.

Fully appreciate this album and Paul Simon's voice is goated and I love half the songs on this album, but it took some listening and the other half fell a little short for me and including the title track and I was gonna give this a 3 but somehow talked myself into a 4 and don't ask why. 4/5 Top tracks: El Condor Pasa, So Long Frank Lloyd Wright, The Boxer, The Only Living Boy in New York

Yeah good

meh

Compared to the 1 star I gave to Bookends, this one is a revelation. Although I'm not a fan of Simon & Garfunkel's folk, this is an undeniable record.

classic

Some very famous songs on this album, I think it’s definitely the case though that these songs very much overshadowed the other songs on the album, still a very good album but feels really weird listening to it with two massive songs and then others with not much attention given to them

Pretty much what I expected from this duo.

Bridge Over Troubled Water, the song, I always associate with my dog who passed away about 5 years ago. She was very sick and when driving away from the vet where she passed lovingly in my arms this song came on shuffle and cut through me like a knife Miss you Pika.

Classic.

Excellent

Sterke songs, met een veel gevarieerdere klank dan hun vorige platen. Dit is pure nostalgie, die na la die tijd veel beter recht blijft dan ik verwacht had. Geweldige plaat. Oh. En (als we de cover van the Everly Brothers even buiten beschouwing laten) 6 wereldwijde hits op 10 songs. Er zijn heel weinig platen die dat nadoen.

Didn’t think much of it but I tolerated it. I’m giving this 4 stars.

Great album, beautiful introspective lyricism throughout. The soft yet complicated instrumentation is such a treat to the ears.

Good memories

I like the deepcuts here more than the break out songs. El condor pasa and Baby Driver are my favorites off this album. Simon & Garfunkel have a lot of brilliant stuff, this feels like it’s a bit more 70’s thrift store vibe though. The popular songs on here are a bit overplayed for me at this point.

I’m finding the more I listen to Paul Simon involved albums on this list the more I respect him as a songwriter, but on this recording I was impressed by the arrangements and production as much as the songwriting. There are just some really inspired, classy touches that I love, like the ghostly super-reverby snare accents in The Boxer. The songwriting and performances are on point too. When all three elements work together as they often do, the result is pretty compelling. As corny as it is, it’s hard to deny how evocative the title track is.

way better than i expected

Great album. The Boxer has always been one of my favorite songs of all time

In retrospect, this album sounds like a fitting capstone to the Simon & Garfunkel juggernaut and a launchpad for the former’s solo career — especially in the variety of styles it mines. “Keep the Customer Satisfied” sounds like something from a 70s variety show, “Baby Driver” echoes the 1950s, while “So Long, FLW” is a pretty sly farewell song to his partner. Good songs enhanced by rich production that brings out the multiple textures of the arrangements. 4.5.

a classic. streaming it for now, but this evening i'll go listen to my cassette. although streaming is a slightly higher fidelity musical experience than my cassette... that's alright i don't think this album insists upon a high fidelity musical experience. song about architect?!?! automatic 5/5! jk the boxer is a classic. el condor pasa too. it's a good album. classic acoustic. i don't think i would say it's *perfect*, but i couldn't pin down what it's missing. i think it's a solid 4/5.

8 me gustó harto pero tendría que volver varias veces

Bridge over Troubled water, hieno biisi, hieno albumi. Helppo ja vahva 4/5

Why on earth have I spent so much time not having listened to this album? This was BEAUTIFUL

Really good. I enjoyed the hell out of this. They have a sound that so easy to listen to. I understand that the discourse is between this and Bookends for their best work…before this week I hadn’t listened to either in full. Both are such easy, enjoyable listens. I think this might win though. This seems fuller, little bit richer, more in bloom or matured songwriting and performing. The whole thing, really good.

Älskar virveln i The boxer!

Fantastic, start to end. 9/10

Simon & Garfunkel are rightfully considered one of the great duos of all time and it's easy to point to Simon's writing ability, which is undoubtedly great. But the way they harmonize has always been the highlight for me and many others. This is certainly true on this album. There are a ton of excellent songs on this. The title track is one of the great songs of all time, but it goes beyond just that timeless classic. Cecilia is great, as is The Boxer. Both really well written songs: one catchy, one more emotional. There's also El Condor Pasa, Baby Driver, The Only Living Boy In New York. Even Bye Bye Love is good on this album, even though it is not a Simon composition. So much to love and appreciate about this record. I know some will not like it because it feels dated, though I love it because it is timeless. A great album. 4 stars.

Very lovely, and I've always enjoyed music like this. "The Boxer" is an absolute fucking slam dunk of a song. I won't say I love every minute on this album, and at times it gets a little too sweetie-pie for me, but overall it's gorgeous and wonderful. Imagine naming your kid "Art Garfunkel". Yikes, man. Surely he got bullied?

The culmination of their career as a duo Some of the best songwriting I’ve heard

First full listen and wow, like I wanted to hate so much. I generally feel like what the world needs now is another folk singer ( on this list circa 65-75) like I need a hole in my head, but this was amazing. Probably 5 worthy 4++

Great album and I can see why it’s so highly regarded.

I love the type of music, makes me feel calm and cozy.

Inoffensive and well written folk songs. 3.5/5

richtig nice, bridge over troubled water ist so guuut, aber nicht 100% mein FAV

I think the title track may be the weakest song on the album.

Their other albums on their list didn't quite do it for me and I dismissed them as a singles band. This one was fantastic, though. They really saved the best for last.

Gode greier. De kunne ha spart seg for Bye Bye Love.

Et par eviggrønne sanger, men også et par låter som ikke treffer helt. Sterk firer.

I've heard every track from this album at some point but never listened to it in one sitting.

Awesome

As an album as a whole it slots in somewhere behind Sounds of Silence, but 'The Only Living Boy in New York' is up there in my top three S&G songs

The song made me feel in a magical forest, with the sun in the background. The song certainly had its highs in: bridge over troubled water and the boxer, easily one of the best folk rock songs I've heard. However, the mixing is not the best, the change between fast and slow songs did not please me very much. The lyrics are beautiful and are certainly great for pulling a guitar and humming in a camping fire.

Incredible songwriting and production for its time. Paul Simon in his creative peak. Sounds really dated but still very enjoyable.

This album is one of those contemplative, Sunday afternoons at the park as your consciousness moves from an image, to work, to an itch, to a blank space, to a word, to a color, all seamlessly.

The album's first half is perfect. The quality isn't horrible after that point, but the songs become a little kitschier and less impressive. The closing 2 tracks return to form, especially Song For Asking. 8.5 T3: Cecilia, SLFLW, Song For Asking

Really good

4.5

8.0/10 Really solid album.. close to 5 stars

i felt like i was walking through a fantastical forest, really beautiful album. definitely not completely my thing, but it felt really consistent and although the songs themselves weren't the most fun, the album didn't feel like a slog to get through.

Bon

It’s weirdly soothing for an album I have never listened to. Now granted I was already familiar with a handful of songs but nonetheless it felt like being home. Is it bad though that I think I might prefer the vamps cover of Cecilia.. Anyways, the harmonies on this album are immaculate, there’s nothing I love more than a good harmony, and it just hits different when two men can harmonise well. I genuinely think this album is a grower for me, like it rated so highly by people so I’m thinking that after a deep dive on the lyrics I may eventually rate this album significantly higher but for now, on first listen it’s a solid score I think, for an album I have yet to fathom anyways. 78/100

Kannte vorher nur einzelne Songs. Stark, Neuentdeckung.

Really really great. Their best, not simons best, but their best together. Very good Boxer, bridge, cecilia, the album tracks Gold Highest of 4s

I can’t rate 5 because Cecilia is giving me stomp-clap-hey flashbacks. Still an amazing album. The Boxer is my favorite and El Condor.

This is a really beautifully written and performed album, and the harmonies throughout are lovely. Their voices mix incredibly well, and the lyrics are emotionally connecting. The only downside, in my opinion, is that the second half of the album just isn't as strong as the first half. The album starts with some really great tracks, before delving into songs that kind of blend into each other if you aren't concentrating. In all, though, a great listen. Favourites: Bridge Over Troubled Water Cecilia The Boxer So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright

I’ve always been a “Greatest Hits” listener to S&G, so it was interesting to add some texture to the songs here I know well. There are several standouts here, but Bridge Over Troubled Water itself is the album’s towering achievement. The vocal performance is Garfunkel’s best, aided by a production that ebbs and flows, swelling into a bombastic finish that’s totally earned. The Boxer and The Only Living Boy in New York are my other personal highlights, with If I Could and Song for the Asking not too far behind. I won’t say the more-upbeat tracks are misses. I do enjoy them, but they’re not on the same level to me. I wasn’t a huge fan of including the live version of Bye Bye Love. Overall, I think the stronger material in the singles separates itself from the filler tracks, but the whole experience was enjoyable and has me wanting to delve into the rest of their catalogue. Might be my strongest 4/5 so far.

This was nice background music :) 3.5

Nice album os this wonderful pair.

Their final and probably most beautiful album together, at least compared to PSR&T and Bookends, which I’ve been served here previously. Some of that production expertise from Bookends was put behind some stunning songs on this collection, namely the title track.

Incredible. Not quite as delightful to me as a plain ol Simon album, but the next best thing!

I don't know. I think I liked it. I liked multiple songs, anyway. Honestly, I need to go through it again because I wasn't in a great mood and it didn't have my full attention. "Cecilia" is such a jam, though. 3.5 Stars

Great album! Some classic S&G songs

I had a discussion recently with a friend about perfect songs. One title I offered was America by Simon and Garfunkel. That song isn't on this album, but I say that to show how highly I regard Paul Simon as a songwriter. I've heard many say that Bridge Over Troubled Water is both Simon and Garfunkel's greatest song AND greatest album. But my hot take is that though these are great, their previous album Bookends is the best. And though the title track here is good, I just don't love it. I can't put my finger on it -- maybe it's that Artie's voice just isn't powerful enough for such a big song... but I definitely prefer other Simon and Garfunkel songs over it. I put The Boxer at the top. Songs that showcase their vocal harmonies like this song really soar. I love the bass harmonica... and that line "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest" is such a great lyric! Keep the Customer Satisfied is a rollicking tune and I think the only one in Simon and Garfunkel's catalog to feature brass instruments. El Condor Pasa seems to foreshadow Simon's interest in world music that would show up in later solo albums... along with the Boss Nova feel of So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright -- both great songs. And I had a friend in high school who loved Baby Driver -- it's such a fun song that always makes me think of her. This album is almost a five for me -- if I liked the title track better, it probably would be.

Took a little time but did click. This is beautiful and well-executed and on a different way in each track. From the power of the title track, to the harmonies on The Boxer, to the fun on Keep the Customer Satisfied and so much more, this is sweet. 2 listens Favorite Tracks: Keep the Customer Satisfied, Title Track, The Boxer

Expectation: -> Well known title track (and presumably album) but what's with that album cover photo? After listening: -> Did not expect to like this. Almost do not want to like this. But I do. It is just plain good. Comforting melodies and vocals, with some fun upbeat tunes. Interesting use of instruments/sounds. Somewhat reluctantly and unexpectedly, this is a 4. Track ranking: Boxer Condor Bridge Cecilia Boy Bye Satisfied Write Baby FLW Asking

Very enjoyable

Some hits and slow songs. Overall good album

Favorite songs: Bridge over Troubled Water, Cecilia, Keep the Customer Satisfied, So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright, The Boxer, The Only Living Boy in New York

3.5 stars album, loved the sensibility behind the songwriting and arrangement

This is inarguably a classic album and seems to have been more or less canonized as such, but I'd never listened to the whole thing at once before. Folk/Folk-rock isn't really my genre but there are certainly exceptions and this album is definitely one. It's extremely well done. The title track remains a lush, supportive track and Art Garfunkel's voice is perfect for it. I do greatly prefer "Cecilia," "The Boxer," and "The Only Living Boy In New York" though, and I think it's because they're slightly more uptempo. Lyrically, Paul Simon does a great job of communicating the feelings of loneliness, poor communication, and mocking Bob Dylan very well...

I've never listened to this cover to cover, a fantastic album that I'll be returning to and looking to add to my vinyl collection.

Great mustache, great sound. Some really amazing songs (e.g. if I could or the boxer). Good to hang out

First of all: can't unsee Garfunkel's magnificent moustache, and that's a good thing. The title track and "The Boxer" are so good and quite breathtaking when listened to at proper volume. The rest of the album was surprisingly diverse musically and also really enjoyable apart from like two boring numbers (and what about that live version near the end? The clapping and cheering was annoying and the song wasn't that good). All in all: 3,5/5 - strong

I quite like it, I think that Cecelia is the obvious winner here because it's so happy, having said that, the boxer is also phenomenal, and hell, the title track alone.

These guys were at the top of their (or anyone's) game here. Just banger after banger after banger.

I'd rather listen to a classic Simon & Garfunkel album than half the mediocre rock on this list. Yes I would. If I could. I surely would.

Finally it isn't dad rock. Still not sure I'll return to listen to it.

A wonderful album right at the intersection of folk and rock.

Fue un buen acompañamiento Rutero

A mix of inspirations in this album, so sometimes I wish it leaned harder to the inspirations I have an affinity towards, but all in all it's an enjoyable listen, if not exceptional, start to finish. With Simon & Garfunkel I always feel that there's a potential there for something more that's not quite realized, maybe if they had stuck together a bit longer we'd see it happen.

I enjoyed most of this, pretty good overall.

Classic

A beautiful album by two great artists who just couldn't get along. It having The Boxer on here ensures a score of 4. Cecilia is probably my second favorite track on the album.

wasn't hyped but there are some straight beautiful songs in this bad boy. favorite song is the title track, or El Condor Pasa (If I Could). strong 4

Great album, lives up to the hype. Also felt more varied from the last Garfunkel & Simon album. Meandered a little but not too much, still felt solid. Bridge is an awesome song and kind of a bomb to start an album with, the hits were hitting, banger non-hit mention is The Only Living Boy in New York. Overall yeah strong stuff 7.8/10

A really great album.

ripper. Classic. Many ear worms. “Paul Simon finds songs in the wind. The challenge for us ordinary musicians is to think of them before he does” - Some reviewer about Paul Simon i don’t remember the exact quote. He’s the goat

I'm bumping this up mostly for The Only Living Boy in New York which for a while was one of my favourite songs. I forgot how much I like The Boxer too though.

Great album with some of their biggest hits. Only downside is cohesion and a little bit of filler

I thought I'd like this more than I did, but it's okay. It's good stuff! I'm proud of them making stomp-clap-burger music before the millennials had a chance to be born - thank you to Cecilia, which is one of the best songs on here tbh

This is one of those albums that I’d say I enjoy on paper but have a difficult time sitting through. Some of these songs are so ubiquitous, it felt like I was listening to a commercial. Not S&G’s fault of course. Objectively I would say this is still a great album. Quality in a vacuum: 4.5 Enjoyment: 2.5-3

Definitely loved this one more in my younger days but it still holds up even though the title track is a bit schmaltzy.

Still brings a tear to the eye.

Todas as músicas parecem que vão ficar insanas e no fim é tudo meio pau mole

Super classudo!

Excellent j’ai beaucoup aimé l’ambiance de l’album !

deuxième fois que j'écoute cet album, que j'avais déjà apprécié à la première écoute !

Just so nice. Very white though isn't it. Favorite Tracks: The Boxer, The Only Living Boy In New York 4.4/5

temazos, re tranqui 8/10

Such serious perfect music. Almost a little solemn,. 3-4 epic all time tunes.....just not exactly lighthearted or fun.

i enjoyed the album, sounds like straight from Inside Lleywn Lewis

4.5

goated

Really enjoyed "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright"

This is the kind of thing I typically don't like at all, but you can't deny this is just a good album.

7/10

very versatile and diverse. rock folk but has a song that sounds like and argentine folklore. i like hearing different instruments than the ones that i am use to. it gives me the idea of what 70’s america’s music sounds like.

Great harmony with these two, second favorite album for me

Walking bass everywhere, father of modern ballads

bummer, not what I want during work hours tbh. Still an all time great though

If you want singer songwriter music, this is it.

Una sorpresa, me gusto

Supeer buena, normalmente no escucharía algo de este género, pero lo disfrute

I really enjoyed listening to this album. There isn’t one type of song on it, there’s all kinds, for a plethora of different emotions. Loved it!

a good 7.5/10

I give it a 3.5 stars out of 5

Good, but too folky for me

8/10

Bridge Over Troubled Waters // The Boxer //

Obviously a classic. Fav song: Only Living Boy in New York

The album cover photo is kind of telling as Simon's solo career would soon near completely eclipse Garfunkel's. Nevertheless, AG has his finest moment singing lead on the title track. The Boxer is outstanding as well. Definitely a classic. 4/5

Perfect album!

Leuk dat ik nog eens een gelegenheid had om deze klassieker te herbezoeken. De plaat had een mooie afwisseling van nummers die iets emotioneler waren en nummers waar je bijna niet stil kon bij blijven zitten, iets wat me niet makkelijk lijkt om te laten werken. De vocals zijn ook zo goed, zeker wanneer ze samen zingen, doet zeker iets met een mens. Mijn favoriet nummer: keep the customer satisfied, Maar 'bridge over troubled water', 'Cecilia' en 'el condor pasa' (if I would) komen dichtbij.

A stellar product of its time, with inciteful and cutting analysis of social and spiritual shit.

So lovely. Clarified some frustrations with Baby Driver (the movie)

i find it so badass when people release their best album as their last album... logically you'd really want to capitalize off of a hugely critically acclaimed album right? these guys were like whatever fuck it. and just for the record im team art fuck paul simon.

slow, chill, good for background at work.

The whole album is fine, the song The boxer is a WOW.

I have never listened to this album before, but I was familiar with over half of the tracks - this thing is just full of hits. I can't say I'm overly keen on the title track actually, but nonetheless it's a brilliant album, and is deserved of its reputation. Favourites: Cecilia So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright The Only Living Boy in New York

After a run of some albums that I really didn’t enjoy, we move on to this album which I have never listened to fully before. Yes I’ve heard a few of the tracks here and there. But this was a very welcome change. There’s something about the title track that just has to be played loud when listening through headphones. The build up of the piano. The final note being held. Chills. Literal chills. This was an enjoyable listen and I will definitely revisit again in the future a solid four stars here, starting the week strong. Standout tracks - The Boxer and The Only Living Boy in New York

the instrumentals are awesome a very nice folk rock vibe kind of wistful

Very good album. Not a big fan of "El condor pasa" or the "Bye, bye love" cover. But I really liked The Boxer, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, or The Only Living Boy in New York.

Favorite tracks: Bridge Over Troubled Water, El condor pasa, The Boxer, Baby Driver, The Only Living Boy in New York

Favourite Songs: Keep The Customer Satisfied

All time classic with some all time great songs. Never listened to them a lot growing up but some of these songs are part of culture.

Parts of this are incredible 10/10 but sometimes the lullaby quality tips over a bit too far. Will absolutely be listening again tho.

This was pretty good, hey! Who would’ve thought? Recognised more than I expected to, which is always a pleasant surprise

As a collection of songs, this is probably Simon and Garfunkel’s most complete and strongest selection. The Boxer is their best song by a country mile. Only Living Boy in New York would be any other bands best song. Sometimes this steers too far into ‘cheese’. Bridge Over Troubled Water is too cheesy for its own good and doesn’t register as one or Paul Simon’s best to me. Maybe when Elvis turns it into a completely camp, smoking mess, but not when ol’ Art here is singing with as much sincerity as he can muster.

I remember hearing this one when younger

Heartfelt and not trying to be too cool.

Pretty great

I listened to half so far need to hear rest but pretty good

Was glad to hear “condor” cus played it in violin concert. Cosy playlist. Discovered that “sound of silence” is their

3 amazing songs on it

Bridge Over Troubled Water is a beautiful album. Coming in, I expected a quieter album due to the ones I knew already being quiet, but there were livelier numbers along with the softer ones. The power of their voices is undeniable!

The title track and the boxer have aged beautifully. the quieter tracks are graceful and the melodies are consistently lovely. some of the more jaunty numbers feel a bit stale but still wield a refreshing mix of styles, including jazz, r&b, soft rock, country and folk. a rewarding listen overall and one i wish to return to.

Beautifull album, some filler imo, but has some great highs. 1. Cecilia 2. The only living boy in New York 3. Bridge over troubled water

Rating 7/10. Best Song - Bridge Over Troubled Water.

4.4/5

4.3

Great album

Todella loistava levy. 4,25/5.

A masterpiece by the New York City duo, it is packed with hits and is such a beautiful and enjoyable listen. 9/10 [KEEP]

When this showed up on my list I was going to skip it. But I am glad I didn't. I really enjoyed the album, other than So Long Frank Loyd Wright, which I couldn't get into.

Viele bekannten Lieder alle auf diesen Album. Kann man hören. Aber wird kein Favorit. Keine Überraschung dabei. Die nicht bekannten Lieder sind halt ok.
