Rating:  - Come On Bob
Don't throw things please, but as a huge Dylan fan, who owns just about everything he ever released, this one just never did anything for me. I play this every now and then, and nothing ever jumps out at me. I have to put it among Dylan's 3 worst. There is a reason why Amazon is selling it for $5.97. It's just not very good.
It is a necessary item to have for the true Dylan fan, but if you are just a casual observer, stick with the classics---like "Blonde On Blonde", "Blood On The ... Read More
Rating:  - The neverending mystery of Bob Dylan
I probably listen to this album more than almost any other of his, and I own a lot of Dylan. During his entire career, Dylan has resisted being pigeon-holed, and this album is a perfect example of that, since it doesn't fit neatly into any easy category such as folk Dylan, country Dylan, rock Dylan, or gospel Dylan.
Some people think Bob Dylan sounds as if he gargles with drain cleaner. Though I actually like Dylan's voice most of the time, in my opinion, it's his song writing that makes ... Read More

What?! Lo and behold, the Prophet Messiah Bobby strayed off the PATH less traveled and ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining!
This is an underrated album. Most Dylan fans don't like this because it doesn't sound like typical Dylan music, but the material is strong. The songs are more straightfoward, while still showing Dylan's wit as a lyricist. Empire Burlesque finds Dylan at his most confident in the studio since his 1976 album, "Desire". It also shows the return of Dylan's sense of humour, which had disappeared for quite a while. The lyrics to "Clean Cut Kid" and "Tight Connection To My Heart" (the latter being a damn fine pop ...

Rating: - Epic
Apart from a few grating moments, this is a flawless, epic Dylan album. Incredible lyrics, vast soundscapes, huge songs - this is a side to Dylan not seen on any other album. Highly, highly recommended.
