Big Bob Dylan Fan. This popped up on my Amazon music feed and I was hooked. I did not have this! Not one song that I would skip. The words are inside in a mini poster.

    This recording has special meaning. The poetry is poignant and typically searing Dylan in how it begins in one place and rambles off point to the real point so effectively. These works represent a rather chaotic period in Dylan's life and is often disregarded as unproductive. But I see these works as a cohesive presentation of a seeker who has not found that which he seeks, moans openly and sometimes with great imagination about his inner angst, and works his way through the grief cycle unsuccessfully.

    I find a good contemporary and more lucid if pedestrian album to be Bonnie Raitt's new release. As I listened to a couple of songs on this album, and coincidently bought and am listening to "Dig in Deep" by Bonnie Raitt. 

    The first song, Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anyone Seen My Love) starts with, "I’ll go along with the charade until I can think my way out.   I know it was all a big joke.   Whatever it was  about.   Someday maybe  I’ll remember to forget."  Unrequited love can be like that - confused and defensive.  Denial is the psychological phase.

    The second song, "Seeing the real You at Last" has -- " Well, didn’t I risk my neck for you,  Didn’t I take chances?  Didn’t I rise above it all for you -  Whatever you gonna do;  Please do it fast." Is about feeling like a martyr. A broken heart is like that when you are on some kind of seeker's quest and you forget there is love involved. Eyes sometimes open. And lights come on. It's the true beginning of the curve in the grief cycle.

    A song of love and alienation in the back of a pickup in a love embrace. "I’ll remember you". "When I’ve forgotten all the rest.   You to me were true.   You to me were the best.   When there is no more.   You cut to the core.   Quicker than anyone I knew.   When I’m all alone in the great unknown.   I’ll remember you."  Perfect. 

    "Clean Cut Kid" is a horse beat dead. He's the lover you married thinking it was a good idea and then everything went the way of the Dream. But you're stuck. And you live with it. We do. We all still do. "Never Gonna be the Same Again" tells another Part of a story of a broken relationship failingly forged by a seeker. "Sorry if I hurt you, baby.   Sorry if I did.  Sorry if I touched the place.  Where your secrets are hid.  But you meant more than everything.   And I could not pretend.   I ain’t never gonna be the same again." 

    "Trust Yourself" is about trusting your own fearful, insecure, appearances driven heart or not.  There are always unintended consequences. "Emotionally Yours" is not a simple a love dog as it seems, but one can take it that way and enjoy it. "When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky" is just the epic summary of a failing relationship.  "I don’t want to be a fool starving for affection  I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine" it complains - complaints worthy on both sides.

    "Something’s Burning, Baby" is my lingering hope and desire that some things can be undone.  It says, "I don’t wanna see you bleed, I know what you need but it ain’t what you deserve.   Something is burning, baby, something’s in flames.  There’s a man going ’round calling names.  Ring down when you’re ready, baby, I’m waiting for you.   I believe in the impossible, you know that I do." 

    The album ends with "Dark Eyes".  "Oh, the French girl, she’s in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel (me).  Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed and steel.  Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies.  A million faces at my feet but all I see (in my dreams) are (her) dark eyes."

    Pure Dylan whether you like him or not.

    This is a pretty solid album. It's not his best but there some really good songs on here. The production is a little too 80's for me on some of the songs, but the whole album is not like that.
  • Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018
    This is a fantastic album. I've read some reviews from people who call it overproduced, 80s junk, etc, and I suppose that applies if you hate the 80s. However, it's Dylan. And Dylan singing on this is as good to me as Dylan singing on anything. It's a very fine album. I'll remember you, emotionally yours, and dark eyes are very fine tracks. I personally love Dylan's 80s period. Infidels is also a very fine album. So if you're not into this era of his, skip it. But I think it's great. And I don't feel pressured to like anything Dylan just because it's Dylan. I like listening to this album. Sample it. If you like it, buy it. If you don't, don't.

    I love Dylan and this is a favorite. A must for a complete collection!
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2008
    Don't throw things please, but as a huge Dylan fan, who owns just about everything he ever released, this one just never did anything for me. I play this every now and then, and nothing ever jumps out at me. I have to put it among Dylan's 3 worst. There is a reason why Amazon is selling it for $5.97. It's just not very good.

    It is a necessary item to have for the true Dylan fan, but if you are just a casual observer, stick with the classics---like "Blonde On Blonde", "Blood On The Tracks" or "Highway 61".

    I saw Bob Dylan with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as his backup band when this album came out. It was the best Dylan show I've seen. I've seen Dylan four times. I have this album on vinyl and enjoy listening to it from time to time. It has energy, like Dylan is ready to move on. The album has a feeling to it like a major chapter in Dylan's life is over. I'm here on Amazon because I'm thinking of getting a CD version of this album since I don't have it on CD. The lyrics on this album strike me as very interesting when one relates them to a couple of Dylan's previous albums. I don't know, I could be reaching but it seems like in some of his albums before this he was singing about his relationship with Christianity, quite a lot actually. and it seems like here too he could be singing about that same relationship, except this time it is about that relationship falling apart or ending up being broken and disappointing. Seeing The Real You At Last seems to me to be one good example of this. But there are several others on this album. "The Real You" has multiple meanings of course one of them being himself, an intimate friend and it could also be his relationship with Christianity. Anyway I enjoy playing this album and think that Dylan's lyrics really get to the point quickly. Of course this is all just my opinion so don't take it as gospel.

    Well, I'm gonna quit this baby talk now
    I guess I should have known
    I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles
    I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone

    Whatever you gonna do
    Please do it fast
    I'm still trying to get used to
    Seeing the real you at last

    Resisted it for years but took the plunge recently as I'd bought all his other albums. Surprisingly not that bad, actually good, as good as Tempest if you can get through the 80s production. Go on, give it a go. Now onto the live albums...

    Cet album contient des morceaux de tres bonne facture. Ce qui peut décevoir c'est les changements de musiciens, tous tres bons d'ailleurs, mais qui donnent un manque de fluidité a l'ensemble

    No es el mejor disco de Dylan por supuesto, no es tampoco el mejor de Dylan en los ochenta, la produccion de A. Baker le ha sentado mal el paso del tiempo, pero tiene algunos buenos momentos y merece la pena darle una oportunidad.
