new bob dylan
 

anybody heard it/ is it any good?

I'm surprised even a Dylan fan would be ridiculous enough to ask 'is it any good?'. Having not heard it, I can guarentee you it's not good.

Apple pie with vanilla ice cream, 4 day vacation with a beautiful woman, snow day, first day of warm weather after a long winter, finding a twenty dollar bill in a pair a jeans you haven't worn in a month, finding your lost dog, smelling breakfast cooking.

what the hell, of course the record is great, you're knot buying it right now?

well christ people, not ALL of his new stuff has sucked. can't we have an open mind?

It's a good album. There's not very much growth form Love & Theft. It's good though. The DVD was a nice addition as well

I think I'll pick it up this week or perhaps today.

Whats on the DVD?

Poo.Internet poo.

1. BLood In My Eyes
2. Love Sick (live)
3. Things Have Changed
4. Cold Irons Bound

My sister wuz playin it the other day. I was surprised - I actually liked some of the melodies. Also, the lyrics are quite powerful in places. I remember one line that went something like: 'my life is almost over' and I thought it was sad but powerful too.

Bob Dylan releases first song in EIGHT years: 17-minute Ode To JFK

Bob Dylan - Murder Most Foul (2020)

Reminds me a bit of “Roll on John” from Tempest.
An account of a famous assassination. This one’s more of a dirge, of course.

Dylan's Time Out Of Mind is the soundtrack to my life today.

Just sayin.

According to NPR's All Things Considered, there are 74 songs :eek: referenced in "Murder Most Foul":

They compiled a Spotifuck playlist with 66 of them:

The lyrics aren't on Bob's website yet, but at Genius.com cats are already annotating them...

It's hard to find a real precedent for this brilliant song in Dylan's work. Yes, we all know the long ones, from "Desolation Row" to "Tempest" -"Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands", "Joey", "Brownsville Girl", "Highlands"- but this time there's no semblance of a chorus, it's not a waltzy tune, the vocal phrasing is different, and it's incredibly atmospheric without the need of a Lanois-esque sound; it's all anchored by that gorgeous, unpredictable piano and the whoosh of the cymbals, basically. And this is just "an unreleased song we recorded a while back that you might find interesting"? Jesus Christ.

Now... does anybody else find the first part of the minimal press release a bit eerie? "Greetings to my fans and followers with gratitude for all your support and loyalty across the years". Could be just a way of saying "I'm stuck like all of you, had to cancel my Japan tour, sorry, here's a tune for a buck". But it also sounds like something Bowie could have said before Blackstar came out. Fuck that - may Bob live on 'til he's 150 at least.

Fucking loved this.

I'd love to know exactly when this was recorded.

"A WHILE BACK", m'kay? That's all the info you're gonna get. Why? Because he's Bob fuckin' Dylan, that's why.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure he recorded it at one point during the last eight years.

I do believe that there is a line about "50 years later" or something similar, so....yeah.

Best Dylan in years. Masterpiece.

Fuck this is so good. I get the feeling that His Bobness started a new album with these musicians and a new Modus Operandi, but it stalled somehow, and an album did not materialize. Shame. This is epic, worthy, late period Dylan.

There is so much to digest in this tale of a song. Only Dylan could weave something like this. It's haunting and delicate.

Released today:

This time, Amazon seems to be the only place from which you can download a bona fide file (as opposed to just streaming). Haven't heard it yet so Don't ask me nothin' about nothin' / I just might tell you the truth!

Well fuck!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pgEP8teNXwY

If you ask me, it has the same flavour of Murder Most Foul. He's fuckin' releasing an album soon, and it is going to be epic. Right?

I dunno. Maybe he's just making ends meet until the zombie apocalypse dies down. ;)

The Trumpie Apocalypse will always be with us.

Oh shit....sorry....you wrote "zombie".

Isn't it fantastic, that in 2020, Mr soon-to-be-80-Dylan is releasing songs that we care about? Macca, Stones, Moodies, etc etc just cannot compete. Dylan gave up on trying to recreate Blonde On Blonde or Blood On The Tracks decades ago. He just does what he does, naturally, in the time that he finds himself in. And because of that acceptance, embracing, reality....the results are compelling. I'm thrilled. I'm dreaming of an album with these two recent songs on it.

I guess there must be a guest vocalist on this one or something

Not that anyone should give a crap, but "Murder Most Foul" became Bob's first Nº 1 Billboard Chart song. Ever. Fifty-eight freakin' years after "Mixed-Up Confusion".

I bet you one thing: while I don't know what Dotard J Turd listens to (other than Faux News), I'm positive that he didn't buy the song, but Barack Obama did. :cool:

Bob Dylan, The Busiest Man In Quarantine, Announces New Album, Drops New Song

And here's the new song:

False Prophet

Fuck YES.

Apple/wiki gives this tracklist with several unknown titles. It makes me happy that it is a 70min motherfucker, ending with That Song.

1. "I Contain Multitudes" 4:36
2. "False Prophet" 6:00
3. Untitled 6:41
4. Untitled 6:32
5. Untitled 4:12
6. Untitled 4:13
7. Untitled 4:29
8. Untitled 7:22
9. Untitled 9:34
10. "Murder Most Foul" 16:54
Total length: 70:33

It's "Rough And Rowdy WAYS", Chris Murphy. It says so right there on the artwork!

Anyway, formidable news, but June 19... We'll all be zombies by then.

So happy about this. If the tracks so far are anything to go by this is going to be special.

If you are an old fashioned CD person like me, why the fuck is this going to be a 2CD set?

Yeah, False Prophet is fucking good.

Damn, Dylan has aged so well. WAIT...HEAR ME OUT, hahaha. I mean, sure his voice is beat up and ravaged, but he makes it work so well for the songs. It's perfection!! And his lyrics are still compelling. I'm wondering if this new stuff isn't even better than the 2001-2012 albums.

I'm still a sucker for Time Out Of Mind (1997). That one is the soundtrack to my current life.

Unless the second disc is a bonus kinda dealie-o (very doubtful; it would have been marketed as a deluxe edition), it's likely a way of saying, "This is a double album, GET IT?" It's not unheard of at all - Wilco's Being There fits on one CD, but Jeff Tweedy fought to present it as a double at the price of a single disc, and the band took a financial hit because of it. (Warners went, OK, the difference comes out of your pockets, artists without whom we wouldn't have shit). And you can go back further to, say, Metal Box: it could have been a double LP all along (once they ran out of film canisters, that's what it became, as Second Edition), but PiL wanted the three thick 45-rpm 12"s to bass your face in.

That one's always the soundtrack to my life. Even when I'm not listening to it. Now, you're trolling for a Bitchen Bob Boot, arentcha. ARENTCHA? Well you're in luck, little man, for I present you...

Oh fuck!! Oh fuck!!

Indeed. Time Out Of Mind live in its entirety between 1997 and 2019. Doom & gloom a go-go!

Don't know if I saw ya, if I'd kiss you or kill ya.....

It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow...
