Dylan vs. Pynchon

Or maybe a Coconut specialist (ever cracked one of those things open)? Anyway, the Pitchfork review seems right on. I felt that the Zim reached a peak in "Time Out Of Mind", a peak that was shared in Emmylou's "Wrecking Ball", provided, in part, by all that "sandpaper in the vaseline" provided by Daniel Lanois. "Jack Frost" just ain't the producer that Lenois was in the late 90's.

 When Dylan's late-period masterpiece came out in 1997,  this particular reviewer, Petridis (who had just joined the Guardian from editing a Dance Music mag), described Dylan's voice as a 'mucoid husk' - lets leave aside the question of whether a husk might contain mucous - and now he find's Bob has a catarrhal death rattle. He should give up music criticism and become an Ear Nose & Throat specialist.
