Music Reviews of Wednesday Morning 3 Am (Exp)
Music Review: Not Correct "Sound of Silence" melody
Rating: 3 Stars
The original record (not CD) version of this album had their first version of their signature "Sound of Silence". This was replaced in time by the more familiar version of the tune that appears in all their subsequent albums. However it is very wrong that the "Pressers" of this CD did not use the same tune as on the original record. Or better yet - include the more familiar version as a bonus track. The two versions have identical words but very very different melodies.
Except for that the album is 4 stars ****
Music Review: "From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
Rating: 4 Stars
Some of the reviews for this album have been rather harsh, and frankly a tad ridiculous. Basically, if you are looking for the most radio played, "best of", popular music-esque songs from simon & garfunkel, you probably won't like this album. But, if you enjoy their poetry and amazing harmonies and get past the initial surprise of how different this album is...you may come to appreciate it. Two songs in particular: Bleecker Street and Sparrow. Sparrow is incredible...totally worth it. Try something new...Music Review: One for the time capsule
Rating: 4 Stars
This album really captures the feel of early sixties Greenwich Village. It would be worth 4 stars just for the incredible "Bleecker Street". It was a time when lyrics meant everything and Dylan (and all folkies) wanted to be Fred Neil (check him out).
