The songs had soul, but not enough. I bought the cd cos it was a Dylan. And it was of low cost.
(They need to change this "at least 100 characters" thing. What if you don't have that much to say? I call for reform!)

Not Dark YetI have never heard a Dylan album I didn't love and while many reviewers have said that this was his great comeback I saw it as simply another great album in a long line of great albums. At times the songs can blend together and sometimes the songs are quite long (Highlands is 16+ minutes)but I doubt those would be valid obstacles to a true Dylan fan. 5 Stars.

Welcome Back Bob.It's been too long since Bob Dylan has released something worthwhile.
He's been disappointing for too long. But - he gives us a home run performance on this cd. I mean - he hits it out of the park!!
It's rare for me to be knocked out by a cd on the first listen, but that's the case with this one. Songwriting is great. Music is great. Production, by Daniel Lanois is great. Would like to see Dylan hire Lanois again in the future.
This cd is an absolute must - even if you're not into Dylan.
His best since "Blood on the Tracks".

Time out of Mind - Bob Dylan1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I love this CD. It is earthy, provocative and consoling all at the same time.
Highlands is a wonderful meandering ruminative piece. I love to listen to this album as I go for long walks or bike rides.
Some of the other songs sound like they were recorded on a desert island by a band of men at their most primitive.
This is Dylan at his aching best.

Growing up as a teen in the eighties, Bob Dylan had become fodder for lame morning show deejays and cheesy late night talk show hosts. He was an easy target, showing up incoherent at times and bizarre at others. His music had lacked something, a fire that burned so strong at one time. I rooted for Bob, and wanted him to become relevant again. The nineties were encouraging. Dylan took a break from songwriting, and did a few albums of covers. He was trying to find something he lost, by working on the mechanics of these old songs. It worked. Time Out of Mind gives us Dylan with skills sharpened..

A lot of people have talked about this album as a revival of Bob Dylan's career, and I have to agree with them. His music from the 80's and early 90's is fairly uncompelling, but somehow on this album he manages to write a very good set of songs. Now, another thing people talk a lot about is Bob Dylan's voice. I don't know how people can dislike the singing from his folky days or Blood on the Tracks; when someone tells me they hate those albums, I have to resist telling them that I hate them. In High Fidelity, John Cusack's character says that "what you like is more important than what you're.

Bob Dylan's 'Time Out of Mind' is unquestionably a Dylan album - amazing and wonderful. As a long time Dylan fan, I purchased this album 3 years ago, and I still find myself constantly returning to this record. This album is the voice of a man out of place-in a time out of mind. Dylan's voice creaks and whispers and moans throughout this album - ringing in your brain and echoing in your soul. This is not the 1960's Bob Dylan, just as we are not the 1960's public. He has seen war and hatred and love and death, and these things all co-exist in his amazing voice. Many people hate the way Bob...

Just like a lot of you out there, I've suffered through the ups and downs of Dylan's recording career. He can take you to extremes, and almost force you to give up on him for good. But even through the lean years of his recording career (let's say 1981 to 1995), I have always kept my faith in Bob. Sure, albums like "Street Legal" and "Good as I've Been To You?" were a little hard to stomach at first but eventually they grew on me. "Time Out of Mind" brings us into a new chapter of the Dylan novel of life. On this record he is not the once young and brazen folk singer of the '60's, he is a...

Having followed Dylan's roller-coaster career since 1963, I sometimes wonder why so many people berate him for the few poor albums or songs he has released. After all, hasn't he produced the most mystical, lyrical and unabashed rock
