Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?

Upon my initial listening I feel it is safe to declare this new offering from Bob Dylan a masterpiece. Very comforting to know America's true folk treasure is still on top of his game.

Has anyone bought the vinyl of the Modern times and does it sound compressed(going by Shadorn's comment above)as the CD?

I own the record and it sounds great. It's a double album with 2 to 3 songs per side. Great mix with nice center imaging. 180 gram pressing with an old school Columbia label. This album is a masterpiece.

I don't think it sounds compressed. I'm quite impressed with the sound and pressing quality.

I'm not comfortable with the term "Masterpiece". Absolutes are used so often they have lossed their meaning.
I love the album.

Wendell, I totally agree with you. The term "hero" is most often overused. Everbodies a hero now days. I listen to Mordern Times on a good Hi-Fi and the album just sounds right to me. Every aspect. Would you be more comfortable if I said the album is a "classic"? Classic means that over time it maintaned it's impact. I think this music will hold up over the years to come.
