| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Jsonic-no worries my friend I wasn't particularly dealing in specifics regards your statement just comparing generalisations.I've always found a fair bit of common ground with your posts.I stand by my comment about Dylan's voice and Audiophiles;ma... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Dreadhead I couldn't disagree more about Modern Times in terms of what it sounds like.He's using the same templates but the music is closest to Love And Theft with tiny sprinklings of the Blues related stuff of TOOM done in a less "powerful" fashi... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? One could also be dismissive of so-called Audiophile music-who's going to listen to that in 50 years?And what about all that crap about cables-sheesh.And what about manufacturers that keep the badge and produce inferior products and claim the new ... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? There's little doubt since TOOM Dylan has came back into vogue critically.Several things happened Dylan got ill gave everybody a fright he was on his way out and there was a sea shift in musical taste.

| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... The iPod and quality of recordings are completely seperate issues.Many people have multi-thousand dollar systems are very interested in the quality of recordings but will use an iPod.As for Dylan marketing iPods do you think the vast majority of y... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Tfk-yup I am indeed in the UK.I didn't realise it was a UK only release.$250 I suppose is expensive but surely decent 2nd hand copies are about? | |

| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Tfkaudio yes it was I bought it on vinyl at the time.Should be pretty easy to pick up-it's 5 albums worth.Dreadhead I am really quite familar with New Morning but I will get it another spin sometime soon.Cheers. | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Drubin-to be fair JWH and a few of Dylan's early albums should be in the 2nd tier of Dylan's work I posted that list in a hurry-it's a crucially important album arguably one whose legacy is much more important today than it was at the time.It's no... | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... That was like being savaged by a dead sheep........:-) | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Martykl-Love And Theft has very similar music to Modern Times on it.Dreadhead- I said OM was something of a masterpiece-it was certainly his best album for a long time and it was a reference to Lanois fantastic production job on it.His Masterpiece... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? I can understand why the "harder and more atmospheric" sounds on TOOM would appeal more than the "quirky and lightweight" sounds on L&T.Interestingly enough I find the production on TOOM really distracting and actually rather false and gimmick... | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... Bob's been saying one thing and doing another his whole career please try to keep up.:-)Remember money doesn't talk it swears.......... | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... Sorry mate you've obviously never seen Stonehenge as part of it fell over centuries ago.Bob Dylan is only a man.Anyway serves you right for watching the tennis you could have been re-positioning your speakers............ | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? I've heard the album now about nine times and I wouldn't be prepared to go that far to be honest.There are three arguably four "classic" songs on this album,it is a very good and reasonably consistant record with a few minor moments and maybe one ... |
