Negative Positive
Title: if anyone else had released this...
Review: Compared to other Dylan albums, this is one of my least favorite. But even at his worst, Bob is still the best. People like to jump on the bandwagon and say that between "Blood on the Tracks" and "Oh Mercy", Dylan had lost his muse. But if anyone else had released "Empire Burlesque", this admittedly mediocre album, they would be hailed as the "new Dylan" and a genius.If you have the money, I suggest you invest in the Bootleg Series 1-3, and listen to what Bob was recording at the time but not releasing. (The alternate version of "When the Night Comes Falling" is inspired and definately one of his best ever).
Is the review positive or negative?
