0658. Paul Simon
Hearts And Bones

Intended to be the Simon & Garfunkel reunion album, but with those plans scrapped due to "creative differences", Paul Simon revamped Hearts And Bones into his sixth solo album instead.
Here we can hear the distinct influence of the eighties on our hero - yes, there are synthesizers! (and all the problems they bring when combined with guitar-based pop)

It starts good enough with Allergies and the title track, but then sort of slowly degrades throughout. Not that it ever gets bad, it's just that it gets a bit, well, the same.
Still, an album that's a medium point in Paul Simon's carreer would be considered a high point in almost anyone elses discography.

And don't worry, the synths aren't on every track.
