 | | Where "Under the Red Sky", his last collection of original compositions, had a casual, tossed-off feel, "Time Out of Mind" is carefully considered, from the densely detailed songs to the dark, atmospheric production. |
 | | Sonically, the album is reminiscent of "Oh Mercy", the last album Dylan recorded with producer Daniel Lanois, but "Time Out of Mind" has a grittier foundation -- by and large, the songs are bitter and resigned, and Dylan gives them appropriately anguished performances. |
 | | As a result, the songs retain their power, leaving "Time Out of Mind" as one of the rare latter-day Dylan albums that meets his high standards. |
