Thoughts: "The Sounds Of Silence" is one of the greatest songs of all time, but most of the material here doesn't live up to the enourmous reputation that that title song gets. There's still some great vocal acrobatics by the duo, but Simon doesn't seem to have the skills just yet to write a fully deleloped album. I don't think his work blossomes until the unimaginable beauty of Parsely, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme.
Rating: 7/10
