This album is OK but imnsvho it doesn't justify any of the "late period masterpiece" stuff that you can read in books and on the web. After Blood On The Tracks Dylan has made some good albums, like Desire, Street Legal, Infidels, Oh Mercy and this. But that's it. They're OK. I'm not knocking Dylan, by the way. His recorded output up to and including John Wesley Harding, and then The Basement Tapes and Blood On The Tracks, is an eighth wonder of the world.
