It's one of those later day Bob albums where the singer in question has nothing more to say. Like... I'm sure there were people with guitars and song books of words and lyrics with much more to give. I guess Bob is like Coca Cola though at this point.

Seems like something changed with AotD. Before the 04/19 site update, I'd never seen it picking albums this low on the overall chart, but I don't see anything about it in the update summary. Here are the ranks of albums selected right before and right after the update:

Nice catch, I'm assuming the "within a x day period" has changed. Coincidence or purposeful, either way I'm enjoying the change.

As for the topic album, it's not great or even good really. Still impressive though, for the fact Dylan is able to produce solid material nearly 40 years after his first album. Hell he's still going even today, basically Dylan is a living legend.

I'll be honest, I actually like this album. It's not amazing, but it's an enjoyable later-Dylan album.

And Chart of the Day. Nice bit of fresh air IMO. It tended to revolve around the same set of artists/users.

Such a great album, the second in his later day new-found-muse trilogy, beginning with 'Time Out of Mind' and ending with 'Modern Times'. The ending song, ' Sugar Baby' is a great way to end it, as well.
