 | Usually only greatest hits compilations have 80 minutes.
40 minutes is normal I would say. 30 is a little bit short.
I do not know a lot of albums which have a good quality level and run longer than 60 minutes. Michael Jacksons Dangerous albums has a running time of 76 minutes and can keep up the quality all the time I would say. |

 | The Paul Simon album was about 34 minutes long and the instrumental song "Hobo´s Blues" was only 1:21. If SBOSW is anywhere near as good as that then I´d be happy with the album time. Besides, Paul didn´t break the 40 minute album mark until Graceland. |

 | One recent long album that struck me as good for start to finish is the amazing ´The Suburbs´ by Arcade Fire. |

Excerpt (Quote):
"I suppose it`s like that. Some musicians are like good wine. They get better and better with age. Which brings me to Paul Simon. When was the last time you checked on what that living legend has been up to? I mean, of course, you heard Graceland but that was back in 1986. And Still Crazy After All These Years, which was even earlier (1975). But here`s the thing`Paul Simon has a new album coming out early 2011 called So Beautiful or So What (I Love that title) and I just heard one track from it. The song`s called Getting Ready For Christmas Day and I almost fell out of my chair when it came on. Simon will turn 70 soon but if you listen to his voice, you`d never guess it. And he still experiments (remember the African beats in Graceland). On this solitary sneak previewed single, Simon has taken a recording of a 1940s American gospel singer and fused it with a very contemporary song that he`s written. But what`s most striking are Simon`s vocals on the song. He sounds as good, perhaps, even better, than he ever did. No mean feat that for an about-to-be septuagenarian.
It`s incredible how some musicians defy age and produce work that critics compare with what they did when they were at the peak of their career. But then they are the exceptions. I mean the Rolling Stones have been around since the early 1960s but, admit it; they`ve been a bit of a joke for the past decade or more. And, as I mentioned, there`s Dylan. Some musicians should just hang up their microphones and let their back catalogues do the singing. Not Young and Simon, though. Those two Old men are rocking!"
My opinion, exactly!
This isn´t about the length of an album or what you can get for your money or how long you have to wait to get it.
Paul Simon will turn 70!!! soon. He HAS TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for your personal entertainment. He´s just still "ALIVE", he´s still agile and vivid!
He´s one of the very few musicians without an expiration date!
I´m really glad about that and very courious to hear his new record. Ten minutes or half an hour, who cares?

| Don´t even know if it´s been officially verified that Dylan will be featured, it´ll be interesting to find out more about the tracks over time. I wonder which one Quicksilver will be on as well. |

| I like that melody/groove.
But - is it just me, or is it a absolute familiar melody and pattern. I have a feeling I should exactly know the movie where I hear this sound...
Oh I would Love if there is a song with that sound on it. And I would love if they do not experiment with too much geek sounds on the guitar. |

| Vaguely reminds me of Virgil from Songs From The Capeman. Definitely a nice groove. |
