- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2007Transport yourself into Bob's bizarro-world and you will find that Modern Times means nothing is modern and everything is retro. In this new disc, Bob has morphed into a cowboy-western band leader who is intent on crossing many music genres and paying homage to many other artist styles. It works beyond expectation. This album is poetry in motion. It is unusually subtle and subdued for such a powerful piece of art. It is quite simply Bob's best album in thirty years.
Modern Times features ten long tracks and covers a lot of ground. It begins with what is destined to be the most popular song on the album, Thunder on the Mountain, which is a classic Bob Dylan tune that includes interludes of guitar riffs paying tribute to Chuck Berry and all the great guitarists of the Fifties. The disc also includes two good tunes, Spirit on the Water and Nettie Moore, with vocal sounds remarkably similar to Leon Redbone. In the latter song, Bob even admits to being in a "cowboy band." The ultimate cowboy-country tribute goes down in the song When The Deal Goes Down which I like to call "the best song Willie Nelson never wrote."
The musicians used on this new album do an incredible job mixing and matching with Bob. He has praised them in an interview as his best band ever. Although we have come to expect faint praise in media interviews, we never expect that from Bob and he has evidence on this disc to support his assertion. All my bias toward The Band aside, this new band does a better job of synchronizing with Bob for his purposes. The result is marvelous. Check out the very subtle riffs on Someday Baby and you will hear a great band playing as if Bob had asked them to play the "Allman Brothers-on-Valium."
Two other classics grace this disc. One is Workingman's Blues #2. This pays homage to Merle Haggard and is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by Bob. The other is Ain't Talkin' where Bob pays homage to himself by crafting another subtle classic tune. This great song caps off the disc and leaves us all wondering how it is possible for this man to write and perform great songs for thirty-five years. The very good most recent albums of Time Out of Mind and Love and Theft were not aberrations, merely preludes to this incredible Modern Times.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2007I remember a time in America when We Shall Overcome and Blowin' in the Wind were national anthems for a civil rights movement that rattled our country to the rafters and unfortunately never actually commenced until that point in time. A young singer songwriter was a focal point of that movement and coincidentally is the same Bob Dylan who gives us Modern Times and systematically beats out on the Billboard Charts all the American Idols and classic rock wannabees and all this at the age of maybe 65. Bob is incredibly transitional- a metamorphosis of a singer songwriter as he exhibited in Nashville Skyline when he suddenly went country and Hurricane when he unexpectedly became urban and street wise and chronicled the events of a Jersey frame of a middleweight contender. When I first became attached to Bob Dylan in maybe'62, a young troubled comedian named Lenny Bruce dominated the pages of an ad hoc paper called the Realist and at the same time appearing at a Times Square dump known as the Dixie Hotel. Lenny was no Seinfield but instead a profane genius. Modern Times to me features some Waylon and Willie in it, some Hank Williams and possibly some Lynyrd Skynyrd influences all combined. The selections that seem to validate my thoughts are Thunder On the Mountain, The Levee's Gonna Break, and Spirit on the Water. It's not that Bob Dylan makes everybody in the music business look bad because of course there is plenty of quality out there. It's kind of like Bob is isolated in his quintessential excellence and nobody but nobody can come close to him poetically or lyrically. In my own frenetic and disjointed youth as a young journalism student at NYU with a raging society and a questioned war effort behind it, I remember Bob tramping around the Village in the early sixties talking Wood Gutherie and with Joan Baez on his arm. Whether it's Hurricane, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, The Master's of War or the prophetic and sadly current Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall, you have to look at Modern Times as another masterpiece and reflective of Bob Dylan's insurmountable cachet. Hit the purchase button now because it is absolutely essential that this CD be added to any existing ownership of Bob Dylan's Cd's, if nothing else, to make your collection up to date and verifiable as all inclusive Dylan.

Gabriel DruckerReviewed in Brazil on September 10, 20205.0 out of 5 stars CLÁSSICO MODERNO
Modern Times, de 2006, já é um dos melhores álbuns da carreira de Bob Dylan. Sempre se reinventando na música e nas letras, mas quase sempre acertando em cheio, o álbum é mais uma etapa na sua jornada. A edição faz jus a música, com dois vinis pesados e lindos, assim como a gatefold. A entrega da Amazon foi um pouco demorada, mas valeu a pena porque comprei em uma promoção por apenas 190 reais, e tudo chegou em um estado perfeito. Se gosta de letras atuais e pesadas (além de algumas românticas), um velho e bom blues com Dylan no piano na maioria das músicas, em um disco duplo atmosférico e ótimo, e se ver em uma promoção, compre-o!
