Modern Times reviews: Slate the pick of the bunch

After a busy week exulting in the richness of Dylan’s new release, Modern Times, and reading countless reviews, I keep returning to Jody Rosen’s review from Slate, the US online magazine.

Rosen’s is the finest piece of writing about the album I’ve seen. It combines knowledge, insight and judgment. Sample these:

“He’s been busy with legacy management…”

“…worldview… that the sacred and the fleshly exist on the same plane..”

“love has been his great subject…”

If you only read one more review of Modern Times, consider reading Rosen’s. Highly recommended.
