KenS.Mar 1, 2008Thunder On The Mountain is by far the best song on the cd. This cd was over rated. Not really up to traditional Dylan standards.

TimCMar 21, 2007Lyrically, this is classic Dylan, spinning fascinating tales of the working class (even throwing in the proletariot!) but musically, the album is dead in the water. Dylan's road band come off sounding like a Vegas sidebar act, so smooth they're butter, and it makes it darn near impossible to listen to.

BronachJFeb 26, 2007No where near his best. Sounds laike a tribute to (the greast) J.J. and if I want to listen to J.J. Cale I buy his albums ..... Time Out Of Mind is much better

daveDec 26, 2006Dylan has some amazing albums and for critics to give this anything close to a 10 it degrades his truly remarkabe work

RichieDDec 15, 2006Not bad for a man in his eighties. Still better than anything his son has ever released. My third favorite Dylan record behind New Morning and Saved.

PeterPDec 6, 2006As hard for me as it is to give Dylan anything less than a 10/10, i just really couldnt get into this album. It's just not the same Dylan I grew to love.

TBoneOct 2, 2006Come on people. This is not a 10 in 2006. Times they are a changin and this don;t cut it. Clearly he's getting a big pass by the critics for being Bob Dylan. Working man blues? Has he ever really worked?

UncutLove And Theft was quite unlike any other pop album--apart, that is, from Modern Times, its direct and audacious sequel. [Sep 2006, p.72]
-
Intriguing, immediate, and quietly epic, Modern Times must rank among Dylan's finest albums.
-
It's hard to hear Modern Times' music over the inevitable standing ovation and the thuds of middle-aged critics swooning in awe. When you do, you find something not unlike its predecessor, Love and Theft.
