 | Okay -- so album sales aren´t what they once were. but still, this album has performed beyond my expectations.

| yeah, but you can´t hardly buy Paul´s album anywhere in the brick and mortar world. Its not in Target, not in costco. Too bad these stores won´t take a chance on it, the internet is not the only channel to reach people. |

 | Worldwide album/CD sales dropped from 100 percent in 2000 to about 40 percent today.
YTO sold about a million; SBOSW selling more than 400.000 (certainly) means more success.
Estimated worldwide sales in week 2 were 55.000 and chart position is 14 after 6 in week 1. Without UK etc.! (source "global sales"). |

| I think its a cool album, and he´s got a sold out world wide tour. I hope to be walking when I´m 70! He´s not doing too bad. |

| You also have to add the lousy packed but nevertheless demanded "deluxe" version with a DVD, (which contains the live title track without any pictures, quite funny...). People who buy this normally will not buy the CD. Except crazy guys like me. |

 | So as a conclusion, SBOSW is certainly not his worst album ever, but also certainly not in his top 3 best appreciated solo albums. I think that conclusion may be drawn yet. |

 | SBOSW - My List (A bit late I know)
This could easily become one of my favourite albums - for me its up there with H&B RTOS and Capeman.
Songs in order of favourite
Rewrite |- Outstanding - this could also be put into a three song "protest type" EP with Wartime Prayers and GRFCD
Dazzing Blue
LIESF -these two have amazing lyrics and fabulous music-only arrangments - always what I´ve loved about Paul Simon songs
Love and blessing (probably will go further up the list love it more each time)
Afterlife
SBOSW
GRFCD - these three are catchy singalong songs great for long drives
QFTA
LIHT - the lyrics of these two are amazing but I find the singing hard to listen to - maybe the words should be just spoken with a melody played in the background (see Leonard cohens song/poem " A thousand Kisses deep"
Not exactly the right thread but I´m too lazy to look for it and don´t want to start a new one |

| Hear Music should release the title song as a single asap, with a nice videoclip like they did on GRFCD.
I have never understood why they put LIESL as the next single... |

 | Now that So Beautiful or So What has finally been released in the UK, I can buy it in my local supermarket. It is currently no. 6 in the UK album charts.
Surprise entered at no. 4 and stayed there for two weeks - but we have yet to see if Glastonbury and the rest of the tour helps sales. They mentioned the new album a couple of times on BBC 2 during the coverage. |
