I don't know anyone who loves Dylan but doesn't appreciate this album. It's hard to find by itself at a reasonable price. (I don't consider $40+ a decent price). You can get it as part of a set, but the single is just not around. Anyway, I appreciate the fact that the seller was willing to sell this new CD at a price that's just slightly above average. It's a gift for my cousin in England, who only has the album on tape, so thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I love this CD. It is earthy, provocative and consoling all at the same time. Highlands is a wonderful meandering ruminative piece. I love to listen to this album as I go for long walks or bike rides. Some of the other songs sound like they were recorded on a desert island by a band of men at their most primitive. This is Dylan at his aching best.
It's been too long since Bob Dylan has released something worthwhile. He's been disappointing for too long. But - he gives us a home run performance on this cd. I mean - he hits it out of the park!! It's rare for me to be knocked out by a cd on the first listen, but that's the case with this one. Songwriting is great. Music is great. Production, by Daniel Lanois is great. Would like to see Dylan hire Lanois again in the future. This cd is an absolute must - even if you're not into Dylan. His best since "Blood on the Tracks". Welcome Back Bob !
I have never heard a Dylan album I didn't love and while many reviewers have said that this was his great comeback I saw it as simply another great album in a long line of great albums. At times the songs can blend together and sometimes the songs are quite long (Highlands is 16+ minutes)but I doubt those would be valid obstacles to a true Dylan fan. 5 Stars.
So well produced.
