Description:
Between the cataclysmic foreboding of the opening track, `Evil is Alive and Well,` and the rebounding hope of the single, `Something Good This Way Comes,` Dylan jounces moodily with denuded vocals and guitar, reflecting the bipolar social swings of the world at large today. Under the spell of Rubins trademark stripped-down production, and wearing his new hat as troubadour, the result is nothing short of powerful. -- Ben Corbett, Boulder Weekly
