Comments

I haven't heard much Dylan past "Like a Rolling Stone", so all his works are completely new to me.

Mainly, I've just admired who he was as a person. He always was deep in thought, melancholic, but never once lacking passion. He's like the Poe of music.

This Album is a complete revelation of Dylan putting his gravely and raspy voice to good use. The Album starts kind of electronic, featuring a jaw-dropping organ (My favourite part of the Album), the lyrical genius of Dylan himself, and all the rest that comes with it. It starts to fade away to a more blues/jazz kind of standpoint, acoustic and a little bit dull, but picks up again, with the pointlessly long song "Highlands", ranging at 16:31.

Even if you don't like the sound of Dylan, reading his lyrics is like reading a poem. It is comprised of well-thought out and very flexible ideas that can strike a reader to the core, so singing his heart out and filling each word with passion really hits it home for me.
