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

    Together Through Life is an album that gets its hooks in early and refuses to let go. [Jun 2009, p.94]

  3. No Ripcord

    Only a few songs ('Beyond Here Lie’s Nothin’,' 'Shake Shake Mama,' and 'I Feel a Change Comin’ On') really jump out of the grooves and the rest sounds like our greatest living songwriter coasting a bit--which is a whole lot better than not giving a shit ("Self Portrait") or flailing around aimlessly (pick an 80s record).

    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

    Not quite as good as his last three releases, but a great addition to his amazing catalog.

    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
