Reviews
5 stars out of 5 -- "The mood is America on the brink -- of mechanization, of war, of domestic tranquility, of fulfilling its promise and of selling its dreams one by one for cash on the barrelhead....It is music of accumulated knowledge...", "The Album Is both the Most Playfully Sexual and Profoundly Spiritual from Dylan in Decades.", Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "MODERN TIMES is a groove album disguised as a poetry album...", "Intriguing, Immediate, and Quietly Epic, Modern Times Must Rank Among Dylan's Finest Albums.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The emotional breadth is helped by one of Dylan's strongest singing performances....A Dylan who finally seems comfortable, and is ready to take things as far as it'll go.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A great deal of it is split between 12-bar treatises about love and lust and croonsome ballads about much the same themes, and one regularly gets the sense that its author might just be having a whale of a time.", Ranked #7 in Entertainment Weekly's "Top 10 Records Of 2006" -- "MODERN TIMES adds another glorious chapter to Dylan's late-career renaissance...", Ranked #7 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "It offered strident blues, wistful ragtime and shimmering ballads."
