Wow, thanks Jay! You´ve been catching a lot of great news. It´s interesting cover art, but I guess I was expecting something busier. Whether this is So Beautiful Or So What is exactly what I´m debating.

I guess the cover looks okay. maybe a little too simple for my taste. But then again, I don´t think Paul has ever had the most interesting covers. Anyway it really doesn´t matter that much to me. It´s what´s on the album that counts, and I certainly can´t complain about that so far.

It says deluxe limited edition, maybe this is not the ´normal´ cover then.


I do not think it is very good.
It looks like those cheap 1990´s techno album covers: DJ Bobo - Dance!

But what do I know... :)

All I can say is (to my personal taste), if I would see a CD like this in a store I would not be interested to take a 2nd look (as a non-ps fan)


I guess Concord music also tries to restyle Paul Simon a little bit :)

I like this much more than the Surprise artwork.

Also the responses here mean it has made it´s point perfectly. Some say "so beautiful" and others say "so what"

Incidentally what is your favourite PS cover?

My favourite is There Goes Rhymin´ Simon then Graceland all of the others aren´t overly interesting to me.

I like it alot better than Surprises artwork. Surprises looked like something I could make in PowerPoint with two or three clicks.

My favorite album as far as artwork goes would have to be Graceland.

That´s a picture of DNA.

Exactly; I was waiting for someone to point out the double-helical structure. The cover is one more hint - along with the song titles - that Paul is thinking on a much grander scale than ever before. He´s talking about life, death, and what comes afterwards. The cover is a brilliant illustration of the dichotomy between our human physical structure and the spirituality implicit in the song titles.

As Paul gets older his album covers are regressing in age, from himself to a baby and now to dna. Not too much further to go, the next album will have a picture of the big bang.
I think this is his best album cover for a long time, it looks great.(of course, it has been a long time since he released an album) I liked the cover art on Rhythm Of The Saints which I think may have been the last one I bought as an LP. Graceland has fantastic album art. I remember Chevy Chase, I think it was on the tonight show, telling Paul the picture of the cover of Graceland was a very good likeness of him (Paul)
Anyway, I don´t really like any of the songs so far, but I really like the cover!
