How can you get belly laughs out of wicked social criticism? "Pig, Sheep and Wolves" will show you. Looking for love? Try "Darling Lorraine" and "You're the One" for loves lost from two sides of the coin. This is brilliant stuff.

I'm giving it an "8", but it could be an "9"...It is a step up from "The Capeman", which was his least rewarding solo work on every level. I could almost consider a 9 because he is probably as great a lyricist as this is, or ever has been, and it still shows here, despite amore subdued feel overall. Excluding The Capeman's self limiting concept, Paul Simon's works have grown to be more and more Spiritual since the mid-80's (not that he wasn't so before, just moreso after then), and it really works to his advantage here, as the songsmithing and depth of subject help to invigorate what is a more laid back work sonically speaking. Musically is feels a bit like "One Trick Pony"; which itself feels like a little bit lesser of a version of "Still Crazy After All These Years". Feeling wise it falls in with those two works. Hurricane Eye and Old are my favorites, and it has some beautiful moments, but it certainly isn't as jaw dropping as his most impressive works...like "Suprise" for example...which is a "10" for me.

The more I have listened to this album the more I have learned to like it. It has steadily grown on me until it is one of my favorite albums.
Jason gave it a 10:
Quite beautiful. If you enjoyed either of Simon's last two major solo efforts, you will, upon a second or third listening, truly love this album.
Dave M. gave it a 10:
Darling Lorraine is for me a brilliant song It seems to encapsulste both sides of any modern relationship Never been as moved since Rene & Georgette Magrit. Decades gliding by like indians.....
Joe Schmoe gave it a 10:
Paul Simon may be old, but he still got it! The lyrics on this album are just brilliant. Simon is still is the king!
Björn J. gave it a 10:
In my view the best Paul Simon album since "Still Crazy", and "Darling Lorraine" is definitely the best Paul Simon song since "I do it for your love". Great stuff!
