#1608 Bob Dylan and The Band - The Basement Tapes

Beh, too bloated, too packed with annoying vocals (now coming in two different flavors), too laconic and shoddy, and - most criminally, this release is too fucked with in its retrofitting and re-adding and general George Lucasing to even feel alive as an artifact of the sessions or the era. There's the sheen of a museum piece, the bloat of a monument, it all totally undercuts the humble tone the music's going for.

Those Dylan and Manuel vocals really are awful to listen to, too 2.5/5
