Review

Grade: A
Ten remarkable new songs, tackling topics like the Titanic disaster (the epic title track) and the assassination of John Lennon (the deeply felt ''Roll On John''). Thirty-five albums in, Dylan remains as magical and mysterious as ever.

"Blood, shipwrecks, bad memories....Dylan now stands virtually alone among his 1960s peers. His own final act, meanwhile, rolls on. It s a thing to behold".

"Dylan sets sail on his finest album of this century....[He is] is a most remarkable survivor: still standing, working and confounding."
David Fricke --Mojo
