I probably like Parsley... a little bit more, but it's very good.

Great album. If I'm not mistaken, the first 7 songs are meant as a concept album. It sounds like that nevertheless, but the 5 remaining tracks are probably the best.

I often listen to the original vinyl version, and the first side of the album (up to Bookends) is one of my favourites sides of any album. It all flows together (& works) really well. The lyrics on this album are also fantastic, and I particularly like Old Friends.

I like this album and Mrs Robinson remind me the fantastic film. My other favorite are Save The Life Of My Children or America.
