Especially strong album. First 4-5 songs are masterful.
The best is the overlong, overly artsy, pretensious, stream of conscious, message song with the never ending quiet crescendo.
The "Thin Blue Flame" continues one of the best traditions in folk rock. From Dylan's early albums ( and he does it again on the latest- his best is Hurricane), Springsteen every once in a while, The 77's (I Could Laugh), Peter Himmelman (Untitled), even Bright Eyes (Let's Not Shit Ourselves)this tradition continues and I am a sucker for those 8 minutes each time.
