MarkS.Jul 17, 2008Everyone will compare this folk/protest album to Bob Dylan for obvious reasons but the real comparison and similarity is to Bruce Springsteen. This is a very good album, in many ways better than Springsteen's folk albums but Jakob Dylan is no Johnny Cash and it would be very interesting to see Rick Rubin do an album with Springsteen.

ToddH.Jul 15, 2008I love the album. It's a step away from what he did with the Wallflowers and I like it. Great song writing and very listenable.

SanitraD.Jul 11, 2008A true writer in every sense. This guy is a freaking genius and a real poet's poet. How does someone like this go so under the radar? Two listens to this album and it became one of my top ten of all time. I feel like I discovered a new genre of music.

TomHJun 18, 2008A decent batch of modern folk from a familiar face. Fare amount of folk/protest songs reminiscent of Dylan Sr.

ErichR.Jun 13, 2008Dylan's tracks on this album are all heard in a pure, and bare vulnerable form. You have to be able to read deeper than the face value trashy music out there in order to enjoy the wonderful and thoughtful poetry of this album.

[Anonymous]Jun 11, 2008Jakob Dylan's Seeing Things is a fresh introspection to Jakob as a confessional songwriter. His lyrics stand alone as poetry and really confirms his status as a significant voice crying to be heard.

In Rubin's hands, Seeing Things plays like a songwriter playing his newest songs in your living room--a seductive feeling that no Wallflowers record ever captured, which is an excellent reason for Dylan to step out on his own.
-
Under Rubin's direction, Dylan's laid-back rasp, often laced with smoky harmonies, gains weight and texture.

Treading his father’s path, he’s never sounded so comfortably himself.
