Interesting. So… you don't appreciate, "Time out of Mind," "Love and Theft," or, "Modern Times."

Obviously, from my earlier post, I strongly disagree: I'd say some of the songs on those albums are as excellent (actually, more so) than ANY previous work. I would agree that the 3 albums between "Oh, Mercy" and "Time out of Mind" are weak, however.
The three albums I so admire not only have powerful and beautiful lyrics, the music also shows a deeper journey into timeless American music of the past. To listen to the music itself is to hear an enormous amount of influences, assimilation, and transformation. No one like him.
I'd also mention his voice's deepening allows him the unsurpassed ability to convey nuances of emotion.
