The title track, "Tempest", is a 14 min. epic about the Titanic, that apparently even contains a reference to Leonardo DiCaprio. "Roll on John" is a tribute to John Lennon.

Due to the album having a similar name to Shakespeare's last play, many thought this was planned to be Dylan's last album ,but he later denied the rumors.

So, anyone looking forward to it? He is one of my all time favorite artist, so I get a little excited for each new release. Even if its bad, it can't be worse than the X-mas album.

Day 1

All the proceeds went to charity for the Christmas album which makes it a great album in my book.

That Christmas album was fucking magic, you shut your whore mouth

[Jitters]

Ha, I didn't think anyone liked it.


Its weird having Blunderbuss, There's No Leaving Now ,and this released the same year, its like a Bob Dylan year.

[Charles Foster Kane]

Can`t wait Dylan is my favorite musician of all times along with The Beatles.

Modern Times is one of my favorite album. It is so great. Despite how much his voice has changed. Modern Times actually takes advantage of that, and results is a deeper album. I love it so much.

Damn, I dig the Christmas album!!

I'll be grabbing this day one.

I bought a bunch of tickets to his show in Edmonton in October, looking forward to it. Knopfler gets a lot of hate but I dig the guy, I still go back to his "Neck an Neck" album he did with Chet Atkins on occasion and I'm far from a country guy, and The Ragpicker's Dream will always be a good album to me.

"Early Roman Kings"

I really enjoyed Modern Times and ERK sounds like a little more of the same for better or worse. Hoping for some new wrinkles on Tempest. :o dat title track length!

Here it is. Titantic.

Sold his soul... made a deal.

I was totally in the dark about Tempest until today. September 10th will come much slower now. :\

Modern Times is one of my favourite Dylan albums and hardly anyone knows of it unfortunately.

[Wilbury]

Modern Times is one of my favourite Dylan albums and hardly anyone knows of it unfortunately.

Magnificent album. The 1-2-3 combo of late Dylan consisting Time Out Of Mind, Love & Theft and Modern Times is a brilliant career resurgence (although I love Oh Mercy as well)

Greatest musician of all time, thoroughly looking forward to it.

1 minute snippet of Scarlet town

Now that more like it Mr. Dylan.

[GavinGT]

Modern Times is the only thing of his I could stand post-70s. I'll have to check this out.

Also, holy shit I don't watch Tim & Eric but he can do a mean Dylan impersonation.

[verbum]

For anyone new to Bob Dylan, on Netflix, there are two documentaries,

Joan Baez: How Sweet The Sound -some early impressions of Bob Dylan by Joan and others. Good movie of how Joan started and developed.

and

No Direction Home: Bob Dylan- Martin Scorsese directed this movie. "What about Bob?" you ask. This will give some good background.

Both movies have good soundtracks.

[brianjones]

i havent even heard modern times or the last one yet.. i need to catch up

last album i heard was love and theft, followed by the excellent time out of mind

[Jitters]

I feel like his albums from the 90's forward are over looked. Time Out of Mind is fantastic.

[Mononofu]

Duquesne whistle is out.

EDIT: sorry I fudged the link.

[Gouty]

He's been on fire since Time Out of Mind. I've probably gotten more mileage out of his last four albums + Bootleg series Vol. 8 than even his 60's output.

[eznark]

Modern Times is one of my favourite Dylan albums and hardly anyone knows of it unfortunately.

huh?

I feel like his albums from the 90's forward are over looked. Time Out of Mind is fantastic.

Didn't it win Album of the Year?

[Jitters]

huh? Didn't it win Album of the Year?

Yeah, it was well received critically ,but I hear/see a lot of people say that Blood on the Tracks was the last good one.

[RockAction]

Duquesne whistle sounds pretty good, a good opener, as does early roman kings maybe a bit too much like mannish boy but i'm sure it'll fit, he'd previously used i just want to make love to you for my wife's home town

looking forward to it

Whoa, hold it there a second, Knopfler gets "a lot of hate"? Who?!? I want names! This will not stand.

This is better than "Early Roman Kings". I don't feel like I've heard it before.

5 Star review from Lolling Stone.

[Ken Masters]

I'm scared to listen to this, his new works have made me sad

[Salvor.Hardin]

I'm scared to listen to this, his new works have made me sad

Which is why I really really loved this.

[Mononofu]

So, it leaked.

[Mononofu]

Stream the whole album on itunes.

http://itunes.com/bobdylan

I've listened to Tempest about five times since yesterday, its that good.

[Fix The Scientist]

This is a great album, i really like Roll On John.

[MrOogieBoogie]

I feel like his albums from the 90's forward are over looked. Time Out of Mind is fantastic.

I fucking love Modern Times.

[Ultima_5]

day right before the new NOFX. good warm up

[MrOogieBoogie]

For anyone wondering, the whole album is on Grooveshark. Listening now.

Man, I absolutely love the music and melodies of the songs on his later albums (this one included).

[MrOogieBoogie]

My god, the title track is amazing.

Listen to it here.

[Jitters]

This is fantastic. "Scarlet Town" and "Narrow Way" are phenomenal. The title track has such an epic feel to it. I don't think there is a bad song on the album. His rugged, aged voice sounds really good with these songs. I'm so impressed by this.

[Mononofu]

My top 5 as of now.


1. "Tempest"
2. "Pay in Blood"
3. "Roll On John"
4. "Scarlet Town"
5. "Tin Angel" ?

[DjangoReinhardt]

I feel like his albums from the 90's forward are over looked. Time Out of Mind is fantastic.

The run of albums that started with Time Out of Mind is flat-out my favorite incarnation of Dylan.

[Salvor.Hardin]

Loving this album. I really enjoy how folksy it is. It's also surprisingly not very like the three beauties he took out starting with Time Out of Mind.

Tin Angel is such an awesome song.

[Jitters]

Scarlet Town reminds me of Desolation Row.

[jgkspsx]

"Love & Theft" and Modern Times were wonderful albums that got strong critical appreciation, but they didn't enter the culture the way they deserved to. I loved the Xmas album (not to mention the best video ever).

Didn't care for Together Through Life, though. "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" was really good, and I liked a few other tracks, but the rest, eh.

Day 1, of course.

[Fjordson]

Dylan is definitely my favourite musician of all time, so I'm hyped for this. Going to listen to the album stream tonight, but I'm sure I'll be picking it up day one.

And glad to see people praising some of his more recent albums. I feel like they were critically praised but it still seems like they're over looked. When talking about Dylan, the focus always seems to be on his 60's and 70's material. Understandably I guess. That stuff isn't just good music, it's culturally significant and a big part of music's history. But records like Love and Theft or Time Out of Mind are truly spectacular in my opinion.

[Wilbury]

I'll say it: as brilliant as a lot of his albums since, Time Out Of Mind and Oh Mercy are in particular, this is Dylan's best album since Desire.

Tin Angel and Paid In Blood in particular are magnificent songs.
