Query: not a masterpiece

I'm afraid I have to agree with the former review in giving this album a poor rating. Basically this is embarrassing to listen to and I think I can rate myself among the fans of Paul Simon. I hate to say this but every time an artist "listens" to the critics of a particular album and decides to give them what they want, the result is disaster. An artist shouldn't listen to anybody and just record what he or she thinks is best. I'm oneof those who thought the capeman was pretty good. Compared to this it was a masterpiece.
