Bob Dylan INFIDELS CBS 1983 CBS 25539 A2/B2 First Press Excellent
INFIDELS was the first secular record Bob Dylan recorded since Street Legal and it's far more like a classicist Dylan album than that one, filled with songs that are evocative in their imagery and direct in their approach. This is lean, much like Slow Train Coming, but its writing is closer to Dylan's peak of the mid-'70s, and some of the songs here -- particularly on the first side - are minor classics, capturing him reviving his sense of social consciousness and his gift for poetic, elegant love songs. For a while, Infidels seems like a latter-day masterpiece, but toward the end of the record it runs out of steam, preventing itself from being a triumph. Still, in comparison to everything that arrived in the near-decade before it, Infidels is a triumph, finding Dylan coming tantalisingly close to regaining all his powers. (Stephen Erlewine, AllMusic)
