rating: 3 QuoteGood but not classicQuote
I know I'll catch heat for this opinion but here goes. I always thought this album was very good, not great, but original in concept and execution. In my mind a great album is one of those can't live without, desert island albums. Albums that I play often over a period of many years and must have in my collection. I bought this album on vinyl when it came out and played it often for about six months maybe a year. I just bought a used copy of it recently and played it for the first time in many years. While I like the sound quailty and the unique arrangements, these songs just don't stand the test of time for me. I would give it four stars for originality, musicianship and technical sound quality but take away one star because half of the songs are just ok filler. Just my opinion. Paul Simon has made better albums than this. March 28, 2008

I bought the album in 1986. A few years later I bought the cassette for the car. I recently bought the cd. I still love every single song. Wow. March 18, 2008

I love this CD. I've played the "Graceland" track over and over. It's been my favorite, although "Under African Skies" is outstanding. The man is clearly a poet -- maybe a genius. February 13, 2008

I wore out my original cassette recording, so how nice it is to have this enhanced cd.
Hearing again the powerful vocals of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, takes me back to the days of the 'Free Nelson Mandela' campaign, prior to the end of apartheid in 1991. January 5, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteJust something good to listen tooQuote
Decided to buy this album after procrastinating for what seems ages. One of my better decisions. I played it to some of my students that I teach photography. Who's Paul Simon ? some of them asked. They have their taste now.
The Boy in the bubble track is great listened too when cooking or working. The accordion in the background is a real great part of this track. The album is fun too listen too, brings back some great memories of my childhood living in Zambia.

These are the days of miracle and wonder ! enjoy the album October 27, 2007
