I didn't think "electronic instrumentals" and "power ballad" could coexist but here we are.

I haven't listened to this album all the way through since I was very young and it was very cathartic to do it. It evokes a completely different set of feelings in me than it did in 2011. Maybe it's because we're actually living in a suburban war now. The end of this album really made it for me. What a strong finish.

This album really isn't my genre, but I appreciate its technique. The percussion is layered and complex. The vocal harmonies have a great texture that's totally absent from contemporary music. There are some interesting threads to Western music. This album really tells stories. I don't know if all those stories resonate with me personally, and the tempo is a little slow for me, but it does what it sets out to do.

I'm allowed to not like things and I don't like this. The production is self-satisfied, the lyrics are a navel-gazing glorification of unexamined masculinity, and the sound mixing is terrible. Life is short! I don't have to listen to a song about sucking on anyone's ding-dong! I don't need to endure uninterrupted monologuing or long, masturbatory outros! I'm not saying this album needs to be expunged from the world, or even that it doesn't deserve its place on this list, but once mostly-through was enough of this album for me personally.

Bout to get NOSTALGIC AF...

Perfectly serviceable, I said, perhaps I'll listen to it again some day. And then I went right on to listen to it straight through again. This might be the best of Dylan.

Pretty good!

I did not really get this one, and the songs are very long.

Truly Just Jams

Solid but not for me.

Delicious sound~

Totally caught off guard by how little I like this album and how much I wish I were listening to something else, lol. I'm sure there's a better mood for this or a more suited day but damn this just did not hit at all.

I simply do not prefer it.

Instant fave. Absolute peak of angsty old man looking back at his life music, a genre I really resonate with. The voice! The atmosphere! Will be coming back to this one.

This album reminds me of a particular ex girlfriend. I understand why she liked it, but understanding why someone would like something is not the same as liking it yourself.
