My favorite Simon and Garfunkel for sure. What I really is special to me about this album is that it is one of the first albums I ever remember listening to. Mrs. Robinson still heckin slaps.

Paul Simon's career is criminally underrated imo. But I'm likely wrong. Candide.

I actually quite like everything here, but god damn 'America' towers so noticeably above everything else that it almost feels unfair. That song feels at least as influential on Belle & Seb as The V.U. or Orange Juice were.
