Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
Perhaps so - maybe On the Level to round off side one as track 5?

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
Here's a question- which is better, the 1st or 2nd half of the album? For the sake of argument - and to make it an even number of tracks- let's leave out the reprise (which may be unfair but does make it easier to split the baby in two). I would have said the 1st half is the one on paper with some r...

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
Love the groove on that track and its jauntiness is perfectly placed after the weight of the first two and of course before the might of Leaving the Table announces itself.

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
"I just can't believe the static coming on You were my ground-my safe and sound You were my aerial." I'm not quite sure why but this verse just sounds awkward and forced to me.The lyrics on the entire album are perfect but this verse sounds like it doesn't belong there. It works perfectly...

Re: "Bob Dylan I love you, but I wish it was Leonard Cohen"
It had to the Bobster over anybody but I'd have no qualms with Leonard winning the award at some later date although to be honest, can't see it being in his lifetime. I doubt they'll return to songwriters for a while.

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
Such a graceful album - I like to frame vinyl versions of albums that mean a lot to me and think this puppy will be coming to a wall near me in the coming months.

Re: The Darker Album and the Songs
This album feels like Old Ideas done right. Which is harsh given Old Ideas is a fine album and part of a fairly spectacular late career trilogy (or "run" may be a more accurate term) but it did feel to me to be slightly less than the sum of its parts and a little too stilted in places by c...

Only 3.5 stars in that Dutch publication? Hope it was out of a maximum 4

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Steer Your Way as a sister song to Dylan's Ain't Talkin'... I like that.

A short review from the Irish Times - 5 stars (fittingly)

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
I should have added I was t hugely keen on If I Didn't Have Your Love initially - if felt a little too sweet and perhaps not totally in keeping with the tone of the album but I'm coming round to it a bit more with each play.

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Treaty is the one most critics will reach for as the big standout (and it is of course superb notwithstanding a part of the melody sounding to my ear near identical to Anthem) but at the moment, I'm finding Leaving the Table just as powerful. On the Level is delightful; Travelling Light is wonderful...
