Bob Dylan: Modern Times

[rridgely]

I'm not sure if anyone here is a Bob Dylan fan but his latest album modern times is out and its definitely one to pick up. I don't know of another artist that has ever been able to put out this many albums and they never become boring or overdone. At 65 years old its unbelievable that he can put out a record that seemingly out does anything else that will be released this year(or probably anything since his last album). Theres no doubt he is in another league when it comes to musicianship/writing. Does modern times stand up to his classic albums like Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde, or Blood on the Tracks? Probably not, but does anything?(Probably not. )

 

I have not bought this album yet because I didn't go to the store yet but I have been listening to it with napster's free service. They have the full album available to stream and I have been listening to it all day.

If anyone actually cares what Rolling Stone thinks anymore here is their review.

If you not a fan I'm not sure if this one will be for you. If you have never listened to Dylan before go listen to Highway 61 Revisited and the other albums on napster first. If those don't get you hooked then you must be deaf.

I'm tempted to make a comment after the one you had made some time ago in that old music thread about Black Metal and Death Metal. But I won't! To each their own.

I don't remember what I said. I'll have to go back and read it.

All I meant by what you quoted is if you have listened to dylan before and you don't like it this won't change your mind. But if you have never listened to his music before this probably isn't the best place to start.(although its good enough. )

I've heard some of his stuff not allot, mostly on MTV or the radio. His music style isn't what I go for however since I haven't heard enough of it I can't really comment on it.
