Title: (3.5 stars) Smooth recovery
Product review: After Down in the Groove and Knocked Out Loaded, pretty much everyone thought Dylan was over the hill. Then he saved his career with Oh Mercy, a big step up from those two debacles. No, this will never compare to his '60's work: with the exception of the lovelorn Shooting Star, everything on Side 2 should be skipped. But he makes up for it with great blues-rock (Everything Is Broken; Political World) and two downbeat ballads (Ring them Bells, which literally took a year to grow on me, but I now love it; When Teardrops Fall), so this is far from a failiure.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
