4/10 ER (June 9, 2008)
Worst Dylan album that I've ever heard!!! Just another example of bad '80s music. While there are some good songs on here, they are all ruined by synthesizers and backup singers. While I understand that Dylan wanted to try something new (although it was the same new that everyone else was trying), it just doesn't work with his voice or lyrics. First time I heard this I just laughed and laughed at how bad it was - and I'm a huge Dylan fan.

If you know this album you can review it.
