"Maybe I think too much for my own sake"

Stephen Thomas Erlewine's review of the new Brian Eno-helmed Paul Simon record Surprise (sorry: the credits read, "Produced by Paul Simon, Sonic Awareness by Brian Eno") has got me intrigued. Simon's always been the kind of singer-songwriter maligned for being what he isn't, by which I mean: people would admit to liking him if he was more like James Taylor or Jackson Browne, instead of being uncategorizable. Anyway, as someone who hates Simon & Garfunkel almost as much as the Eagles and the Doors and adores Graceland, I'd love to know if Surprise is aptly named. He even plays lots of guitar, which is always a treat.
