| | Paul Simon Album Reviews |
| | Most of the album is of a similar, sometimes samey-sounding mood, and its mellow melodies are carried by Simon’s melodic guitar playing, his plaintive singing, the occasional catchy backing vocal, and (especially) its inventive, highly sophisticated percussion. | | | Graceland was an inventive synthesis of American pop music with the music of South Africa. | | | Simon ingeniously uses percussion, accordion, horns, and backing vocals throughout the album, and he merges many disparate musical elements into a seamlessly simple sound that can only be called pop music. |

| | Graceland Album Notes |
| | Thinking of a track from one of my favorite Ladysmith albums, I tried writing English Lyrics that would slip into the pre-existing song. | | | Their music, described as "Sotho Traditional" on their album jacket, had a very powerful medium-paced rhythmic groove with the bass playing lead and accordion supplying harmonic structure. | | | GRACELAND is less typical of South African music than most other tracks. |

| | Graceland (Paul Simon) - Reviews on RateItAll |
| | But the entire Graceland album is absolutely remarkable -- from the inspired musicianship (this is the album where South African artists appear on most of the tracks and then Los Lobos on another two) and unlikely song hooks, to his intimate vocals and fascinating lyrics. | | | This is definitly one of the best albums of all time. | | | The next song is, in my view, the best from the album, Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. |

| | In fact it was such a perfectly realised album, that when taken as an album whole, it all comes together to combine into making this one of the greatest albums released in the 80's. | | | Yet after a steady stream of steadily more accomplished solo albums, it wasn't until this his 9th studio album (Released in 1986), that he hit his creative peak, with his "Graceland" album. | | | An album that so beautifully (and some would argue 'Seamless'), fuses: Singer/Songwriter, Worldbeat, Contemporary Pop/Rock, African hymnal songs, and presented in such a largely accessible way, that it became one of the first 'World' music (or certainly 'World influenced albums), that was a huge hit in the west. |
