This is probably the weakest of Simon and Garfunkel's big 4 albums, and it's still beautiful and layered. These guys are underrated in the 60s, even if Garfunkel was just some poofy looking singer.

I prefer this to Bookends and Parsley. Sounds of Silence is excellent and really moving. I could listen to that a lot. Rest of the album holds up better than the others too.

Much better than the debut with several strong tracks. It does still drag a bit in parts though and they would get better still.

"Kathy's song" is my favorite and it might be my overall S/G fav.

A good Simon & Garfunkel album, though not as good as their later music. Some of this stuff drags a bit, but even the songs that drag are usually pretty.
