Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: At the beginning of Time Out of Mind, Bob Dylan finds himself in the same dead-day world as on 1964's "One Too Many Mornings." By now, though, he can't be bothered to romanticise the street and the distant dogs' barking; he can only moan about how sick he is of love, of himself. Saying it seems to give him the strength to go on, and go on he does, over 11 songs that are among his most plainspoken and musically eloquent. The reconstituted bottle-blues that sparked the early '90s acoustic masterpieces Good As I Been to You and World Gone Wrong carries over to Daniel Lanois's carefully dirty production and a groove that tops anything Dylan's done in a studio since, at least, Blood on the Tracks. No matter how lousy he feels, this is the work of a mighty, mighty man. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best since Blood on the Tracks!!I'm Sorry , call me closed minded , but i simply can not be friends with anyone who thinks this album merely OK. If you still don't like it after 10 listens , subscribe to MTV and buy the whole back catalogue of Now Thats What I Call Music albums . I know it's snobbery , but you really are not a Dylan fan if you don't like this. If you are a football fan , it's a bit like a guy in the pub claiming Maradona was a bit too small to be considered as good as Sir Bobby Charlton. ..Buy it..if you don't like it , go live in Germany. They have made David Hasselhoff No1 there. Rating:  - Disappointed Dylan fanI have a shed load of Dylan albums and have been listening to him since the mid-1970s, starting with Desire and Street Legal and then working around to Blood on the Tracks and back as far as the first "Bob Dylan" album. Dylan is no great shakes as a vocalist to start with, but this album really disappointed me. The vocals are croaking and the famed Dylan lyrics don't work on this one. The tunes are mostly nothing to shout about either. There are two good tracks on this album, It's Not Dark Yet & Love Sick. For me, the rest just don't do it. That said, It's Not Dark Yet is a Dylan classic and almost worth the price of the album alone. Bear in mind that this album can be had on CD for about £2.50. There is a reason for that. ... Read More: Rating: - Melancholy masterpieceTime Out Of Mind is a masterpiece of atmospheric mood music and evocative imagery, expressed in moody blues numbers and melodious ballads. This mix of blues and ballad is reminiscent of the style of many Tom Waits albums. Although I prefer the folky ballads, the album forms a cohesive musical statement with an impact that lingers long after the last notes have died down. The bluesy tracks include Love Sick, the almost talking blues Million Miles and Can't Wait, and Till I Fell In Love With You which in its undulating rhythms is midway towards being a ballad. The instrumental mix and arrangements on all of these are raw and gripping and will have great appeal to those who love blues music. Despite its title, the uptempo ...

Bob knows his time is running out and this album has a sense of being separate form time, like a sidestep out of the way of mortality, whilst still bowing down to it as in "not dark yet". MY favorite tracks will have to be the opener "love sick", "Standing in the doorway", "not dark yet" But in my opinion the best track on the album, and arguably all his albums since 1975 is highlands, the 16 minute epic, which will silence those who say Bob's lyrics are not as clever as they used to be. The loneliest man in the world can somehow raise your spirits. this is one of the greateset albums ever, and where as most ... Read More: Rating:  - Bob's Re-awakeningIt's always difficult to make a judgement which seems to have validity when critical opinion seems so opposed to the view wishing to be expressed. Sometimes i feel the critics have over rated 'Time Out Of Mind' somewhat because it follows a terribly barren patch in Bob's career. 'Time Out Of Mind' represents for me the moment Bob begins his reawakening as a credible contemporary songwriter after a number of years in the doldrums. Unfortuately for me at this point in time Bob still hadn't quite fully regained his faculties. The songs all tend to be downbeat and split between love songs/ ballads and blues tunes. The problem is nearly every song on the album is downbeat and Bob's usual wonderfully eloquent lyrics have been stripped of many ... Read More: |
