One of my favorite albums. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "The Boxer" are two masterpieces IMO. While it seems like there's some filler ("Bye Bye Love"), even the less good tracks are still great. "Keep the Customer Satisfied" and "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" are also two of my favorites. This is probably my favorite goodbye/band breakup album, unless you count Abbey Road.
EDIT: Also, I think this is the first time I've read the "About album of the day" portion. That's actually a really cool way to control the process.

It's alright. Title track is brilliant, though.

I'm not trying to sound like Happymeal, but I hate the title track, 'Cecilia', 'The Boxer', 'Bye Bye Love'. They're just too cutesy (especially the last three of those four). I can't do it. It's too nice.

My Grandmother used to play Simon & Garfunkel on cassette when I was being picked up from primary school. I've never listened to them since then.

For me, this album is sickly full of nostalgia. It also sounds like an album sickly full of nostalgia (the same deal with all S&G albums actually)!

I definitely know what you're referring to, but that's what appeals so much to me about this album.
"Cecilia" and "Baby Driver" are so damn cute. I love them so much. Then you have the brilliance of songs like the title track, "The Boxer", and "The Only Living Boy In New York."
Very recently added this to my chart actually.

Anyways, love this album. "Keep the customer satisfied" is amazing.

If you don't hear it, I'm not sure what I can say to convince you. Cute is rather subjective. I mean, come on, just look at the album cover. Look at them. They're so cute.
