Indeed.
"Ain't Talkin'" is springloaded with all kinds of mystical gems and "When the Deal Goes Down" almost brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it.
I even felt it was better than "Love and Theft" in some respects.
"Together Through Life" has been a tough one to sit and listen to. I just can't seem to devote much time to it and when I do, I feel like I'm straining to enjoy it. "Forgetful Heart" was a great track though, and "Beyond Here Lies Nothing" almost sounds like Dylan and John Mayall got together.
I was really hoping that the new album would be a continuation of what he did with songs like "Ain't Talkin'", and every review I read definitely suggested that it was. But it turned out to be quite a departure from what I was hoping for.
But fans have been saying that about Dylan since 1966. lol.
