    The album's a gas, a riot, a hoot.

    Ever since he figured out how to write tough-buzzard songs, on his 1997 comeback Time Out of Mind, he's been knocking them out of the park. This one leans hard on ready-made blues in the citified-country-ways style of Chess Records.

    Together Through Life sounds loose and informal, and you get the impression that its creator had a lot of fun making it. A shame, then, that it's not quite as much fun to listen to.

    This sounds like what the Band wished they sounded like 40 years ago, and Dylan doesn't sound like a spoiled pissed off 20 something but an old guy who still knows how to rock. I think this is one of his very best.… Expand

    I like Dylan and I don't begrudge him turning out a casual set of formulaic songs like this -- i just wish it were a better set than this, and not so meretricious. I also wish reviewers could accept that Dylan is as inconsistent and at times as mediocre since his peak in the 1960's as others of his generation are. Witness the equally inconsistent and at times the equally mediocre Paul McCartney -- who, nonetheless, has put out a better string of records the past dozen years or so than Dylan has, albeit, to much less acclaim.… Expand

    Dylan is has sold has been living off his reputation and brainwashed fans for years now. How anyone can listen to this elevator music and rate it is beyond me. You people are no different from the commercial sheep who love whatever is at No1. Bob Dylan could release a techno/house album and you guys would buy it, and love it. Try to take a step back and listen to how poor his music has become.… Expand
