paul simon's graceland is a brilliant album, one of the biggest explorations into world music from any pop/rock artist at a time, and possibly one of the most fun cds someone can listen to

One album I will be very happy never to hear again, after it being belted to death. This music just becomes very annoying, and way too twee if heard repetitively. Or, keep the Africans, and just get rid of Paul Simon and this would be a lot better. This is really, really dull, and perhaps even somewhat insulting and insular.
