as everyone immersed in bob knows, this is the first album in his "born again christian" trilogy. as everyone also knows, a new direction is hardly a surprise for bob... it's just that this album isn't really that good. the lyrics are insipid, barely an iota of a smidgen of a patch on previous masterworks. even the one lyric i like, "man gave names to all the animals" is a trifle silly.

now, i can imagine how people liked this album... but it's not going to be liked for the same reasons that his previous, and some subsequent, albums are. it was apparently (wasn't around myself) hailed as a brilliant album in the press... (they always have been a bit thick haven't they). in the past most of dylan's weaker lyrics seem to have been accompanied by fairly acceptable music to hum along to as you completely ignore what turgid bollocks bob sometimes manages to come out with. (see "just like a woman", "peggy day" & "lay lady lay") but this is accompanied in places by some appalling stuff. how could bob ever work with the dire mark knopfler? (you see what i did there? ooh i impress myself sometimes. but seriously, knopfler is a shite-peddler)

ok. i've just read that back, and i'm being unfair... it's not THAT bad... but it's not good. especially after his previous 3 studio albums.

highlights? well, ok, the opening track: "gotta serve somebody" is passable... in an eighties kind of way, but you can feel knopfler's deathly touch on it.

anyway, as i said at the beginning of this review i mentioned this is the first of bob's BAC trilogy... needless to say, i haven't bought the rest of them...
