Rough and rowdy ways is as good as anything Dylan has ever released.

I loved Tempest, but Murder Most Foul takes commemorative song-writing to a level it has never seen before. I Contain Multitudes is ballsy as fuck, and Goodbye Jimmy Reed just rocks. No idea if it’s an unpopular opinion. #Dylan

    110% agree!
    And it sounds great. I saw Bob a couple years ago in concert (probably for the last time) and while I enjoyed the concert, the sound was mostly crap. Overly loud, every instrument mixed to the same level, muddy, no ambiance. Likely a consequence of having to play large venues.

    Poor Dylan’s voice was mostly drowned out on the louder songs, but at least we could tell no auto-tune was used and he wasn’t lip syncing.

    Anyway, hearing the RARW songs live really made me appreciate the sound of the CD.

      I saw him in Oslo a few years ago and the sound was actually pretty good. Maybe he had a good day, maybe it was because it was a smaller venue. Seeing him again in Copenhagen this October - crossing my fingers it’ll be good.
