Thanks for reminding me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) What a milestone for Bob Dylan after almost 60 years, nevermind the fact the song is nearly 17 minutes long. Dylan is quoting 20th century culture, along with music artist and song references as well, like Billy Joel did in 'We Didn't Start The Fire'. However this is more poignant. It's a same related milestone for the late Tom Petty when his album Hypnotic Eye reached # 1 in 2014.

Thanks for reminding me! I will be doing the same, so I can listen to it with the proper intention and focus. Dylan is and always has been just remarkable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 To me this is one of the best things Bob's put out in years. like an epitaph to the culture. Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I bet Bob Dylan will be a possible future winner with receiving the 'Visionary' award for "Murder Most Foul" at the Progressive Music Awards via Prog magazine. The length and musicality of the song meets progressive-rock standards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I really don't feel like listening to that ever again. It was a total snoozefest. It's way too repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Eyes Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It's like a stream of consciousness pop culture hymn and, despite its run-time, is pretty accessible and maybe even commercial. It postures as a masterpiece coda of a great artist but what I'm seeing thematically is a combination of American Pie and Man on the Moon with Dylan's patented cryptic lyrics (which seems to me often have more meaning attributed to them than is actually there). The piano part reminds me of Bridge Over Troubled Water's gorgeous essence and the end themes of a thousand Tom Hanks movies. His vocal performance is vintage Dylan which is to say more like the talk-sing of a seasoned actor than a singer and that is not an insult. He is and always has been a brilliant vocalist. I'll probably listen to this again but a 17 minute song that's not particularly original is a bit self-indulgent even for a performer of Dylan's stature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 There's another new Dylan song. "I Contain Multitudes" He must have cancelled dates on his never ending tour because of the virus, right? I'm guessing finally releasing songs he's probably had stowed away for years is how he's making up for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
