Negative Positive
Title: Eloquent and ripe followup
Review: The Wallflowers come back with a highly-fulfilled album. Jakob Dylan sings so well in this album, especially in songs like Hand Me Down, Sleepwalker, I've Been Delivered, that you feel his existence behind these songs. His lyrics prove that he's not just a footnote or a page in the book. Jakob Dylan is a mellow book in his own right. Bonus track is a sweet song, probably the most peaceful song I've heard this year. Elvis Costello, one of my favorite artists, is a great surprise on Murder 101. The Wallflowers are delivered. The ideas come through. The four-year long waiting is definitely worthwhile. (Though I'm still wondering what that thing is, that Sam Cooke didn't know but Jakob Dylan does.)
Is the review positive or negative?
