The new album is a good album imho-better than the last couple better than UTRS :-) and better than the weaker output earlier in his career...I would say it's a middling/average record in his total output.But at this stage in the game imho that is...

Csontos....I think you are wrong and I find your stance strange especially when you state you are really not all that up on the whole Dylan back catalogue...UTRS is a very very strange choice of Dylan album from either diehard or casual fan.I actu...

Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?
I only have the MSFL version from the 80's....and as I said I haven't compared that however Dhl93449 you need to consider there at least two other CD versions of DSOM...the early 90's remaster and the 30th anniversary version which was a SACD hybr...

I think the guy is asking about CD versions and getting answers in vinyl....:-)I have the new remaster and the Mofi version on CD but I haven't dome a comparative listen.Certainly the new CD had a nice balance of detail and smooth sound...indeed i...
