Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have to admit, despite Dylan's fine voice on this record, despite Mark K's excellent guitar work, despite the fact that musically, this is one outstanding piece of work, I didn't like this record at first, didn't like it for years. Bought it when it came out, listened to it once, filed it away. When CDs took over, of course I had to buy it again and I gave it another listen and I discovered that it wasn't so bad, after all, lyrically, that is.
You see I had a problem when Dylan appeared to be taking his audience along with him on his quest for God, so when this record opened with "Gotta Serve Somebody" my pea brain shut down. Yeah, I tried to tell myself that "I Believe in You" could be about a girl, "Precious Angel" too. But I really knew better. Now that I've got a few more years under my belt, I realize that this record is like all of Dylan's records, word pictures about what he was going through in his life. This record is about a man seeking and finding his way. He's not trying to convert me or anybody else. He's just simply chronicling his life in his way, with music and words that rhyme. I like this record now, play it quite a bit. It's really pretty darn good.
