HEARTS AND BONES
Hearts and Bones is the sixth solo studio album by Paul Simon. It was released in 1983. The album was originally intended to be called Think Too Much, but Mo Ostin, president of Warner Bros. Records, persuaded Simon to change it to Hearts and Bones. -Wikipedia

The result was Simon's most impressive collection in a decade and the most underrated album in his catalog.
-
Rolling Stone
1983 - Paul Simon’s new album is all about heart versus mind, thinking versus feeling, and how these dichotomies get in the way of making music or love.
-
American Songwriter
perhaps the most underrated release of Simon’s fantastic career
-
Pop Matters
2012 - Hearts and Bones, originally released in 1983, is riskier, both musically and lyrically, and more engrossing for it.
-
Countdown Kid
2013 - full of songs that require your attention to be fully appreciated even though they don’t demand it from you
-
Robert Christgau
Rarely have the quiddities of pushing forty with more brain than heart or bone (or muscle) been explored with such obsessive attention to detail--acute musical touches match involuted lyrics small surprise for small surprise.
-
Only Solitaire
just a straightforward confessional album that speaks to the hearts rather than the bones

Mark's Record Reviews
Not awful but not great. Not scintillating but not stultifying. Not grindcore but not church music. These are just six of the many things that Hearts And Bones is not.

Aphoristic Album Reviews
the best work includes some of Simon’s most stunning songs; ‘Train in the Distance’, about his first marriage, and the title track, detailing his relationship with Carrie Fisher
