...seniority in 1997 with the excellent Time Out of Mind, a dark and wistful album that looked backward more than forward, his voice a nasal husk of itself, accessible only to his most persistent fans. There was a high-tech hipness to Time Out of Mind--the damp, echoey sound provided by producer Daniel Lanois--that doesn't exist on the new album. Everything about Together Through Life is simple: the lyrics (a collaboration with the old Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter), the instrumentation and the sound, which Dylan admits, in an interview posted on his website, is an homage...

The distortion of one key repeated phrase in the song and the eventual clumsy breakdown of the tune into silence lend it an incredible power of allegory for decay, like a sunny day degenerating into a damp and cloudy afternoon. Much of the rest of the album, however, is plagued with incomprehensible lyrics and tiring reverberations of electric blares.In an attempt to reshape the genre of noise pop, then, “Wavvves” has removed the essential infectious melodies and beats.
