TheMaker Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 There's a short sample of this song over on the Sony Music Store site. It sounds a lot better than most of Modern Times, which is unsurprising when you consider that Dylan almost always hits 'em outta the park on soundtracks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can only get a sample of Like A Rolling Stone on that site. EDIT: expectingrain has a link to the Best Buy site/sample: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...&id=1561855 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well, Modern Times was shit on a stick, so... I like the fact that there's a discernable melody here, and that it sounds nice, and I also like that I can't immediately place the lines Dylan is singing. Hey, it's a start, right? I don't see how you can fault me for that. Hopefully it'll be at least as good as North Country's "Tell Old Bill," a song I liked a whole bunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I wouldnt go as far as to call Modern Times shit, I would say its just okay which in turn makes it severly dissapointing since its a bob dylan album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Lucky you! I wish my standards were that low. Of all the boring, mediocre blooze-rock I heard last year, MT ranked somewhere around the middle of the list (at the top, in case you're curious: The Black Keys, whose song "Modern Times" is what an inspired blues pastiche sounds like in my book). Huck's Tune is shit, too, unsurprisingly. Another lazy lyrical pastiche that makes me think of wandering attention spans and counting sheep. Dylan's consumption is particularly bad here, as he swallows the end of virtually every line in the song (not before literally gasping out the last few words), but that might be due to the god-awful production more than anything else. His voice is mixed louder here than it has been in concert since around '03 or so (which is really saying something), and it doesn't do him any favours. It's funny - if you'd told me when Tell Ol' Bill was released that Dylan would be giving us nearly a dozen more songs over the span of the next year and a half, and that none of them would be nearly as good, I probably would have laughed. I'm sure he'll catch another creative wind again before the curtain comes down, but for now, well, it feels a lot like the late '80s all over again for Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i quite like hucks tune actually. i prefer it over his other recent soundtrack tunes like return to me or waiting for you. i know i'll get blasted, but cross the green mountain looks good on paper, but i dont like the recording. tell ol's bill was nice and catchy i like the hook at the end of the verses on hucks tune Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Jesus man! How can you be so condescending! I think his standards got flipped upside down when he wasn't looking, and now all the blood is rushing to their head - making him talk all crazy about things. I wonder if he still likes the 30 seconds of the song he heard on best buy, which he said he liked the melody and lyrics to, even though he's now found out he doesn't like the rest of the song?

mastershake Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Jesus man! How can you be so condescending!haha i guess my standards and everybody else's in the world are "low" http://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/dy...s?q=bob%20dylan as for the black keys, they are great but they can't compare with the emotion dylan puts into his music. just read the lyrics to spirit on the water or workingman blues #2... there is nothing comparable in the black keys catalog.

solace Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 not to mention that the last Black Keys record, while good, is easily their weakest album to date Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Don't you think it's about time Bob releases a CD of soundtrack-only, compilation-only tunes and other ephemera? Maybe the next Bootleg Series release could be something along these lines. The man has some loose ends to tie up. That reminds me-- when the hell will the next Bootleg Series release be announced???

Sir Stewart Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I've been ready for a Bootleg Series release of the Basement Tapes for quite some time now. The packaging alone would be worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well, Modern Times was shit on a stick, so... Well..you just lost any credibility you had. That was by far the best disc released by anyone last year (ok, TV on the Radio kicked ass too). What is there not to like about Modern Times. Brilliant lyrics and some of his best singing on record. "Spirit on the Water" may be his best vocal performance ever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
