Bridge Over Troubled Water [Columbia, 1970]

Melodic. B

Garfunkel is such a gross person. I'm not sure if anyone will ever see this the way I do. If you read interviews he just seems unseemly, like for example he talks about sex openly in this uncomfortable way and sounds like an asshole concerning his past relationships. I have no doubt this is basically why Simon dumped him.

He also has a list on his website of all the books he's ever read with the smug comment "All real heavy stuff, no fluff in there."

wow it's all highfalutin trash too, no surprise there

Paul Simon: Paul Simon [Columbia, 1972]
I've been saying nasty things about Simon since 1967, but this is the only thing in the universe to make me positively happy in the first two weeks of February 1972. I hope Art Garfunkel is gone for good--he always seemed so vestigial, but it's obvious now that two-part harmony crippled Simon's naturally agile singing and composing. And the words! This is a professional tour of Manhattan for youth culture grads, complete with Bella Abzug, hard rain, and people who steal your chow fong. The self-production is economical and lively, with the guitars of Jerry Hahn and Stefan Grossman and Airto Moreira's percussion especially inspired. William Carlos Williams after the repression: "Peace Like a River." A+

Has anyone here read his letter to Garfunkel printed on the back of their debut album? He tries so hard to sound pretentious.

>>73243483
Fuck, meant Garfunkel's letter to Simon.

He was right. Like you might listen to S&G and think "Wow, Garfunkel's tenor is indispensable" until you get to Simon's solo albums and you realize he was a better singer with a more pleasing timbre all along.

Overs is the best song on this album.
