I wish Dylan would work with a proper producer.

Did put some Big Star on today. My dad's answer: "it's nothing compared to The Rolling Stones". That makes me think @driver7 is lucky

I wish Dylan would work with a proper producer. You don't like the sound of Rough and Rowdy Ways? I love it! It's muddy, but that feels right, like a warm and intimate blur behind all the crystal-clear cragginess of Bob's voice. I'm blown away with the album, in all honesty. Loving it a lot more than I expected to, and although I'll wait a bit before saying it's one of my favourites from him (it is!), I will at least state that I think it's his best lyrical work since the 60's. My only criticism is that neither the title or the cover really fit. But the music itself is more gorgeous and accessible than I would've dreamed.

He should have used the False Prophet single cover for the album, the one they used looks cheap and terrible. I've only had a listen through one time, but I definitely like it. The focus of the album is on his voice and lyrics, rather than the instruments, but it works well. I love the sound of his voice so much. This album will most likely make my top 5 list of Dylan albums, but Time Out Of Mind will always be number 1.

This album will most likely make my top 5 list of Dylan albums, but Time Out Of Mind will always be number 1. I've always liked Time Out of Mind, and nineties Dylan onwards better than the earlier part of his career. I agree that the cover of the album could've been better, but the songs on it I think exceeded my expectations. I also have only listened to the album through once, but I think Key West could become a classic and that My Own Version of You, I've Made Up My Mind, and Goodbye Jimmy Reed are all strong tunes that sound closer to rock than songs from Tempest. Lyrically, the album is excellent - you have words you never thought would appear in a song, rhymes that are clever, and words that can be interpreted as having deep meanings. This album did not disappoint.

All the tasteful little runs of colour through the album are gorgeous, too. The Spanish guitar on Black Rider, the accordions on Key West, the slight Latin influence of Mother of Muses. None of the songs overstay their welcome and the lyrics feel direct and emotive. I've not been able to stop playing it. At this moment I think it's his best since Blood on the Tracks. And what about the imagery on My Own Version of You? I took blood from a cactus, gunpowder from ice...

Any song that riffs on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is alright in my book--that was one of the novels that made me fall in love with literature finally in my late teens. And Dylan does it with such aplomb. It's a joy to hear each lyric unfold.

I've been obsessed with Runaway by Kanye West and Pusha T lately. That song is phenomenal and was what really made me take a second look at Kanye as a legitimately good artist and producer.

Some videos that show that no, Oasis weren't the biggest bad guys in 90's rock.

A Dr. Dre version of Jesus is King? Not sure how I feel. On the one hand, I'd rather he just got over the whole lackluster JIK era and took the time to make something special (more Kids See Ghosts would be good), but I am a little intrigued. Dre is a notorious perfectionist, and that's the energy Kanye has been missing since My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Plus, some of the production on JIK was superb, it was just so messy and unfulfilled (some people would say that about Yeezus and Pablo, but they'd be wrong, obvs). Having a producer of Dre's caliber re-working the album could make songs like Use this Gospel into something special. We'll see.

A few thoughts... First of all, this song is great:
This whole song is awesome and really funky but I think the second verse may be one of the best verses that RHCP has ever done in their discography. The whole band is right in sync with each other and no one misses a single beat. It's amazing:
Also I have no clue how this song did not make it on to Songs of Innocence. It's really one of U2's best songs in recent years and has an awesome, modern Clash-esque sound with cool guitar, bass, and piano parts at the end. Man... A sequence of Iris, Lucifer Hands, The Crystal Ballroom, Cedarwood Road, Raised by Wolves, Sleep Like a Baby Tonight, and onward to The Troubles closing. SOI was a very good album but a missed opportunity with Apple's release tactics and some of these tracklisting woes:

This Phoebe Bridgers single is quite good.

New song by Public Enemy. Amazing production, as usual, from the legend DJ Premier.
IMO the best hip-hop musicians right now, are all over 40 years old. Some over 50.

I love, what I'm pretty sure is, that James Brown sample in there. Great lyrics, imagery is fantastic to go with it. Public Enemy has got the pulse of the U.S. right now. Love it!

It's a proper banger. Flavor Flav has got to be the oldest rapper I've heard say 'motherfucker'on a record at 61 years old lol. DJ Premier is the greatest hip hop producer of all time IMO

This is actually...pretty good. Could use the synth build-up from the demo, but it's still a banger.

Listening to U2X Radio, this is awesome to have around. Bono & The Boys are in-step with the development of it so I think we'll get some good stuff from it.
