Music reviews of Modern Times
Music Review: Why is this so overrated?
Rating: 2 Stars
I'm a HUGE Dylan fan and really just don't get this and all the hype. "Time out of Mind" was a mood, songs were generally good...same with "Love and Theft". On Modern Times it just seems that there are re-worked blues songs. Bob Dylan KNOWS what he's doing...he has songcraft ability. He can do much better. He can even sing much better...he just doesn't choose to. Dylan himself said never to give the public your full 100% effort. On this album he's giving about 25%. Of course, I bought the deluxe edition....that just means he has my ear (and my wallet). Honestly it just isn't that great.
Description of Modern Times
First new album in 5 years featuring 10 new songsAt a time when the majority of those his age are drifting into retirement, 65-year-old Bob Dylan has put the capper on a three-record run that ranks with the best in his storied, 44-album career. Like Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft before it, Modern Times is a rootsy, blues-soaked pool of the purest form of Americana--skipping the progressive bells or whistles for an understated backing by his touring band. Dylan's voice, which cracks, rasps and moans from the pop singer's pulpit, hasn't been this rich and emotive since 1976's Desire. And while his lyrics prolong his steadfast allusions to a higher power and his own immortality, they are not without the Dylan mirth, as when he sings of tracking pop queen Alicia Keys from Hell's Kitchen to Tennessee in "Thunder on the Mountain," the album's opener, which teams with "Someday Baby" and "Rollin' and Tumblin'" (for which Dylan misguidedly claims writing credit) as the record's most fiery numbers. Still, it's the Dylan that tells of a slave-loving owner ("Nettie Moore"), brings New Orleans to the front burner ("The Levee's Gonna Break") and plays the part of an eloquent lounge singer ("Spirit on the Water," "When the Deal Goes Down" and "Beyond the Horizon") that makes Modern Times sound just like old times. --Scott Holter
