Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Both vinyls in my copy are warped like bowls, which is really disappointing. On a brighter note, the second copy I got is a bit less warped, so it plays way better.
Tempest kicks off with a quirky little tune that feels oddly out of sync and timeless ... kind of like the music that drifted from the worn-out movie speakers right before the Saturday matinee. But if you think about it, the whole album is like this old, flickering black-and-white film, warning us from a past era, delivered by a cliffhanger hero we don't take seriously enough these days, and we should, because even though his words are framed by a setting sun, the unexpected gravity of his songs is just as impactful. Dylan pulls from the last four decades, not so much taking stylistic detours, but revisiting and challenging musical ideas of the past, making them sound more significant with his unique perspective. Nowhere is this more obvious than in his vintage Tattoo You era take on “Pay In Blood,” a track whose lyrics he delivers with a gentle spit, a song that practically demands the swaying backup singers to sweeten the old man’s soulful moves, and ease his ache. Tempest is a haunting collection of musical visions, commentary, misfortune, memories, and disillusions ... laid out like a series of paintings from the Lewis Carroll book, “Through the Looking Glass,” all neatly lined up, only to be rearranged right before your eyes, casting a hypnotic spell that will have you shaking your head in disbelief while searching for a chair to contain the pounding of your heart as you realize that Dylan’s still out there with his amphetamine fueled visionary dexterity intact. Even if we've been distracted from time to time after all these years, Tempest leaves little doubt that his Bob-ness, the eternal watchman, is still at the top of his game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta put my hands in my back pockets, Betty Davis style, and stand here staring as this record spins ‘round and ‘round once more.
The sound quality is fantastic on this release. Both discs are exceptionally quiet. The mix is expertly mastered, and Dylan's vocals sound incredible.
Dylan's stuff is amazing, he's got like 10 tracks or whatever on two records-I'm totally immersed in his universe-Thanks, I'm loving it-Leif
The tiny black notebook that comes with it is a delightful gem filled with folk, rock, pop, and fan magazine covers.
