This album is quintessential Simon & Garfunkel, with the title track holding it's rightful place as the best song of the 20th century.

But beyond that, it's an amazing recording, a mix of the carefully engineered sounds of songs like "The Boxer" with the last minute rewrite in the recording in the studio that made the title track a timeless classic.
