I'm rather fond of "So Far Away" myself and I think if I remember correctly yes, the title track is a little pompous and boring and something of a let down.
Don't you just love that cat though? And did you know, Carole made that tapestry on the cover herself?

Thanks!!! Yes, I love that cat, well, I love cats in general tbh. And I had no idea that Carole King had made the tapestry on the cover!! I learn something new everytime I enter to musicbanter

Well, thank you very much! As for "Tapestry" I wasn't saying that the name of the album was bad. In fact, I think it's a wonderful name. What I was saying was that the song on it called "Tapestry" was the weakest one for me!

Exactly!
Btw, this is really fun if I have enough time to write these things, just posted another one above. Hope at least is not worse written than the first one
