Jul 25, 2012Average. Not convinced it stands the test of time. Hard to imagine now what all the fuss was when it was released back in the 1980s. Did not blow me away then, and does not now.

Jun 13, 2012It is ridiculous the way re-issues of good albums get so many 10 out of 10 scores.
10 out of 10 means absolutely perfect.
Not even my favourite album is absolutely perfect.

Aug 1, 2012[Graceland] was unique in its total, and totally natural, synthesis of musical strains that turned out to be not nearly as different from each other as its listeners might have expected, and the result resonated strongly around the world and across generations.

Jul 26, 2012The usual ephemeral padding--an extensive oral history rendered redundant by the documentary, a poster, and a replica of Simon's legal pad of lyrics--fills the linen-bound Graceland deluxe, which footnotes the remastered album with a 25-minute bonus CD of demos mostly heard on previous editions, though a 10-minute "The Story of 'Graceland'" audio deconstruction by Simon sums up the box in a song.

Jun 27, 2012The album is the real star here, sounding as fresh, vital and universally accessible as ever 25 years down the line.
