Review title: Praised Out of Proportion
Product review: I've been listening to Bob Dylan since 1964. I've been through a lot as a fan, from the brilliant Sixties to the mostly dead Eighties to the stunning release of "Love and Theft" last year. Of all the things I've witnessed in his career, the acclaim "Time Out of Mind" has gotten is the most puzzling.I don't like this album. I've listened to it many times trying to let it grow on me, but it won't. It's so dreary, monotonous and suffocated that it is a chore to listen to. None of the songs run in my head and compel me to play them again and again as do the masterpieces on "Love and Theft." Yet it is praised to the skies.Sorry, I just don't get it. Even Dylan himself has said that he couldn't get what he wanted while making this record. It's pretty obvious he's surprised that people like it; he doesn't.Skip right over this one to "L&T" if you're looking for Dylan's real comeback album. Or get the one before it, "World Gone Wrong," another Dylan album with some real heart.
