4.5 superb | Nagrarok | January 4th 10 | Too many albums have become famous without good reason. Bridge Over Troubled Water is not one of those albums.

4.5 superb | Alabaster Jones | April 25th 16 | I'll always remember how the tandem of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal were able to do amazing things in the world of basketball despite not being on good terms. Similar is the story of Simon & Garfunkel, because they were able to release absolutely seminal folk albums without enjoying each other's company. Arguably their magnum opus, Bridge Over Troubled Water is a full realization of the eclectic stylings of records such as Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, And Thyme, taking in a variety of influences from folk pop, Andean blues, piano-driven folk ballads, blues rock, and even bossa nova. There are a bevy of classic tracks to be found here, not least of which are the heartfelt title-track and a masterpiece in "The Boxer". Horns and strings permeate the first half of the album, adding even more personality to the tracks. The second half is much more conventional, but the songwriting chops are still ever-present. It's a phenomenal swansong for one of the greatest duos folk ever saw.

5.0 classic | chtrenne | October 1st 12 | 'Classic' is, really, the only word for it. Not a single bad track to be found, and some of the greatest songs of all time (I'm talking to you 'Boxer' and 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters'). Perfect.

4.0 excellent | Gassman3268 | May 10th 12 | A lot of great Simon and Garfunkel songs here. What I love about many of the tracks on this albums is they are great sing along songs, especially Cecelia and The Boxer. There are are a few filler songs on this album, but even those are pretty good.
