Who needs a double album worth of prog-rock to be sprawling when it's possible in nine songs? Well, when you cast your lyrical and musical influences net as far and wide as Dylan does in 'Desire', that is. His narrative stance swerves wildly from civil rights activist ('Hurricane'), epic poet laureate ('Joey'), silent Western warrior ('Isis') and, uh, tourist ('Mozambique')...but an outlaw, always an outlaw, be it from the fuzz ('Romance In Durango'), from his own society ('One More Cup Of Coffee') or from his own wife ('Sarah').

Definitely a grower for me. So much interesting instrumentation on here.

Bob Dylan, the full palette of human emotions, and a complete acoustic ensemble? Robert, you betcha!

| 2.0 poor | Iai EMERITUS | March 25th 08 |
Poor in any context, maddeningly bad when you consider it was the follow-up to his masterpiece, Desire sounds nothing like a good Bob Dylan album. Instead, it sounds lazy, forced, and insincere. After the fire and the brimstone of some of Blood on the Tracks' most famous moments, Bob could be forgiven for not finding marital bliss as fun as violent heartache, yet that doesn't excuse the music here. If was a girl, and somebody wrote the emotionally hollow "Sara" for me, I would automatically assume they didn't love me and had just been pretending the whole time. Oh, but "Hurricane" is brilliant, of course. It's not enough to make up for the snooze-fest on "Mozambique" and "One More Cup of Coffee" though. At least religious '80s Dylan was mildly entertaining sometimes.
