Stick a fork in Dylan, he's done.

Think the last few albums have been ok, but Tempest is very good. Just me. None of the recent albums rate with his best--but then a mediocre Dylan is better than most other artists.

Umm... I don't ever think he could sing.

well he certainly does not deserve to be stuck with a fork.

If it's going to hurt, definitely not.

UTRS is as different to Oh Mercy as it can be Csontos.....honestly totally different.

With OM Dylan went with Lanois created an atmosphere, had a great bunch of songs that were reflective and intriguing.

He chose not to repeat that with UTRS he went with Don Was on production and had a series of guest stars to play on the tracks-most of the songs (Born In Time and possibly another I can't recall date back to OM) were written from a different perspective indeed it has been note how much Dylan referenced nursery rhythms especially old English ones-what wasn't known at the time was that he had just had another child.
To suggest they sound like a double album on any level be it production , theme or in terms of musical approach frankly beggars belief.....

Indeed Don Was himself has reflected very recently how much he botched the production job and the subsequent album that came out of it...
