This is Dylan in top form. Brilliant lyrics. You will laugh out loud at some songs, and cry at others. Free Music Review: Another masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
This exceptionally melodious album opens with the catchy up-tempo Thunder On The Mountain, a track with a lilting beat which is followed by Spirit On The Water, a tender love song, also tuneful and engaging with graceful touches of harmonica. Rollin' And Tumblin' with its snatches of jangling guitar is a succulent slice of folk rock.
One of the highlights on this impressive work with its outstanding songs is the melancholy When The Deal Goes Down, a philosophical musing on the journey of life, on mortality and loyalty, with a beautiful tune and moving poetic lyrics, like the track Where Teardrops Fall on Oh Mercy.
The tempo picks up again for the rhythmic pop number Someday Baby, before the mood turns serious for Workingman's Blues, a flowing ballad, and then somber turns to sad on the poignant Beyond The Horizon with its redemptive imagery.
There is another stirring love song in the form of Nettie Moore, a slow soulful number with clever lyrical twists and a spiritual undertone, whilst The Levee's Gonna Break is another rhythmic up-tempo track with a gripping melody whilst the bluesy Aint' Talkin' is a long atmospheric excursion.
The powerful songs on Modern Times are delivered with guitars, bass, cello, piano, percussion, drums, violin, viola and mandolin for a rich, full sound and Dylan's voice sounds great. I highly recommend this brilliant album which is on a par with his best work of recent years such as Time Out of Mind.
Free Music Review: Hard To Understand
Hit: 3 Stars
The music for Modern Times, although a little ragged around the edges and not as tight as it could be, is really very pleasant and quite enjoyable. I must say that I was extremely disapponted that the CD insert did not contain the words to the songs. I have listened to it numerous times, as has my family, and there are just a whole bunch of places that we can't even begin to figure out the lyrics. I'm sure Dylan has lots to say, and we've certainly tried to figure out what that might be, but just exactly how much of a treasure hunt do we have to go on here? Free Music Review: EXCELLENT!
Hit: 5 Stars
Fall deeply in love with "Spirit on the Water". I have to play it at least once very night. Of course, other songs are great too! A must-have on any CD rack. Free Music Review: Bobbie!
Hit: 5 Stars
What can I say that hasn't already been written and read, Bob Dylan is the greatest poet of our time...I LOVE THIS MAN and his art!
