Dylan Discography Pt14
Planet Waves is very much the start of something better but that doesn't mean its not great in its own way. All of the tracks on here were at least solid with some greats mixed in there namely Forever Young and Going Going Gone. For a number of years leading up to Planet Waves Dylan had seemingly been shifting in style and I believe this album marks the turning point for that shift. It's very good overall but to me it feels like he wants to break out just that ... read more
Dylan Discography Pt13
This album is very similar to Self Portrait in the way that everyone seems to hate it. Personally I think it's mostly undeserved. The first tracks were very well done and for the most part, the rest of them were similar in quality besides a few. It really does puzzle me why this is rated so low when it has a lot of experiments to.offer that obviously differ in quality hut at least it's something out there. Obviously the circumstances surrounding it aren't ... read more
Dylan Discography Pt12
It's a real shame that 90% of this album is really a letdown. But the other 10% is what I want to talk about for the time being. Knockin' on Heaven's Door is possibly one of if not the greatest track Dylan has ever put out. It's of of the few that can come close to Like a Rolling Stone. The difference between two is that the latter has a lot more energy whereas the former leaves you feeling empty. Although that's not a bad thing, it makes sense: ... read more
Dylan Discography Pt11
New Morning really was the birth of a new era for Dylan. After the experimental and somewhat despised Self Portrait, Dylan takes an artistic direction that feels very different to his usual release. New Morning is a mixture of emotions since you have tracks like the title one and The Man in Me but also on the other hand you have Winterlude. Dylan's eleventh release is quite conflicting but I personally think it's a great addition to his ever growing empire.
Dylan Discography Pt10
Self Portrait is often bigged-up to be some steaming shit pile smashed between the gold that Dylan produces, and why I don't think it comes anywhere close to his previous records, I have to disagree with that opinion. Yes it is very true that there are some very bad tracks (for example the butchered re-recording of Like a Rolling Stone), ones like Let it Be Me and even Little Sadie scrape back some points. It's very unique and most definitely marks a new era ... read more
