Bob Dylan – Modern Times

As much as my 2006 copy is just fine to live with, this classic of an outing needs a proper audiophile pressing. Hopefully soon.

This is a beautiful album by Bob Dylan and sounds great. The sound is transparent, warm and crisp. This is probably digital recording but the sound is in "3D" and very well balanced.

As good as it gets. Beautiful heavy flat vinyl that sounds amazing. A huge upgrade on the CD version, the band has better separation and dynamics and the vocals sit in the mix perfectly.

This sounds really good. Crisp, clear, and very musical. I highly recommend this cassette edition to any Dylan fan. Actually, I was quite surprised how good this did sound. Many cassettes from this period sound pretty bad. I also liked the inlay and the print quality. I wish they had the album information printed on the cassette instead of generic Sony branding. However, it sounds pretty sweet and I believe this was the last Bob Dylan album released on cassette (at the time of writing anyway). I wish they had released Together Through Life and Tempest, as I really like those two albums.

both discs are warped af, remarkable that they actually play, but tbf it sounds pretty good so the joke's on him : )

Watch out buyers, 80% of sellers here are selling the 2017 reissue instead of the 2006 1st press....

Bob continues his 21st Century winning streak with 'Modern Times', much in the same vein as 'Love & Theft', two of the best albums he ever made IMHO. LP mastering sounds great & the heavyweight vinyl is dead-silent.

Gorgeous gatefold LP with printed inner sleeves. Sounds great and album itself is one of the best from latter years Dylan. One of my most prized records.

He is considered the most influential songwriter of the 20th century. By being invariably to evade the expectations of his audience has Bob Dylan the mystery around his person always. Also in the twilight of his career remains the man speak in riddles. Because how are we r&b the lines of text about the young singer Alicia Keys in the opening track Thunder On The Mountain again now? And he really believed that there is no good plate for 20 years, as he appeared prior to the release of Modern Times suggested in an interview with Rolling Stone? Also on his first album since Love & Theft (2001) sells Dylan no sweet talk but he offers in ten songs, based on simple blues-and countryschema's and accompanied by an excellent band, texts that give food for thought even after repeated listening. Of its characteristic sneer from its start time is only a rasperige in 2006, skipping voice over regularly. That he with that weakened tool songs so much urgency with it can give is a sign of its class.

Can we please add that Rob LoVerde cut the lacquer and that United Records was the pressing plant?
