Bridge Over Troubled Water, at its most ambitious and bold, on its title track, was a quietly reassuring album; at other times, it was personal yet soothing; and at other times, it was just plain fun.
Smoother than Bookends but featuring slighter songs, except for the near-perfect title track and ”The Boxer.”
if u cover up paul simons face it looks like art garfunkel has a rly long funky moustache
The most amazing moments overshadow some of the looser tracks. I feel like I expected an emotional masterpiece, but instead got a pretty great mixed bag
The 5th and final album from one of the most iconic duos in music history Simon & Garfunkel doesn't disappoint in the slightest, in fact 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is possibly the duos best album.

This album would be way better if it wasn't for the live song, it's just so annoying, like seriously can the crowd shut the hell up please.

With near flawless production ( besides the obvious live track) , impactful lyricism and some of the best harmonies in music period, S&Gs final send off almost seems like it was destined to be made.
