Then perhaps the new Bob Dylan album is for you.

That is all.

I absolutely adored his Christmas album. But for all the wrong reasons.

Just imagine what him singing "Silver Bells" would be like.......

Youtubed a bit of it. Ouch.

Sounds like what happens when a key spokesperson for a bohemian hippy generation gets rich, old, and runs out of things to say. Good bye youthful idealism. Hello out of key crooning.

Slow Train Coming started to spell the end. IMHO

I second that, but I'm speaking from a musician's point of view. I feel he had done it all by 1976's Desire.

I think this would make a great gift to my ex. Send her this album and a dildo. That way if she doesn't like the music she can do f#@k herself. Either way is a win.

I heard a review of this album (and snippets thereof) on National Public Radio. It was cringingly evident the guy was trying to be kind and deferential in finding ways to avoid saying flat out that this was a freakshow, ill-advised, and completely nonsensical. I tend to agree. Just like Karen Carpenter can't sing opera, Dylan can't croon.

A written review I saw said "It made my ears bleed."
