Review title: Dylan's worst since "Blood on the Tracks"
Product review: Just kidding: "Blood on the Tracks" was okay...a bit embarrassing, mediocre like his "Planet Waves" before. "Time Out of Mind", on the other hand, is simply awful. Its producer should win a Grammy award for most tasteless and indiscriminate use of echo. The playing is amateurish and sloppy: none of the musicians seems to have a solid grasp of where "one" is (or, for that matter, "two", "three", or "four"). The songs are utterly vapid, completely devoid of lyrical inspiration and tune (needless to say); their chord progressions are the moldiest, tritest chord progressions you can imagine. I think it significant that no one who praises this album can seem to point specifically to anything in it to bolster their claim of merit. I recommend "Time Out of Mind" to all of Douglass Adams's "electric monks", those with a desperate desire to believe anything anybody tells them about anything.
