Reviews:
Five and that's no jive!!!
This recording is great stuff!!!
Very Interesting
Since almost every known band (famous and not) has recorded some cover version of a Dylan song this compilation (and movie soundtrack)contains
the most experimental,curious and particular ones
Music style varies from Tribal,Hip Hop,Rap,Country,Folk,Rock,psych
and others..Even if most of readers here,myself included, do not
know some of the artists who play on this CD,the first intention could be not to buy the album ,but after listening to the whole
thing you'll agree with me when I say these cover songs are extremely good,in few words Dylan Songs in a different point of view.
It's a pity the man himself has excluded "My Back Pages" by punk Metal band Ramones or "This Wheel's on fire" by Siouxie and the Banshees in that case i should have given 5 stars .This is not a Best of Bob Dylan,there are alread 100 -best of- cd around here,some reviewer misunderstood the meaning of this album
altough the rating is not 5 stars,Masked and Anonymous is worth buying then most of the releases of these modern years.cya
wtf?
I'll have to disagree with some of the other reviewers, but mostly in terms of the songs they liked and hated. This is a pretty good record. A great Japanese version of My Back Pages starts it off. There is also a cool Italian rap (not Spanish) version of Like a Rolling Stone, and One More Cup... is good track. Most of The Time is also cool, but Sophie Zelmani changes all of the references to the female character to a male one, leading to all sorts of awkward non-ryhmes ("Most of the time/ I can't even be SURE/ if he was ever with me/ Or if I was ever with HIM"??). Los Lobos and De Gregori are annoying tracks. All of the Dylan-performed tracks are great, and I can never understand where the complaining about his voice comes from. Keep listening 'N Sync if that's what you're looking for. And for the record, I have never heard of anyone calling "Saved" one of his worst records. wtf?
