I've come around to this one over the past couple of years. And it sounds fantastic in terms of the technical aspects of it.

What's with the track listing last.fm? That's no way to treat one of my favorite Bob Dylan albums. Much like Slow Train and Saved were companion pieces, so is Shot of Love and Infidels. To me, they're inseparable, like Rubber Soul and Revolver. Did I go overboard there?

I agree with you that Shot of Love is not strictly a "born again" album like it's two predecessors, but it has a lot of Christian themes, as does Infidels and pretty much all of Dylans 80s output.

No I didn't misunderstand at all. I agree with you completely, I just wanted to point out that all of his 80s albums have Christian themes, not just the three that everybody says.

This is actually one of my most favorite Dylan albums. Not the best, but not bad by any means. This is definitely underrated.

I think this is his worst album, but it has one of his best gem (Every Grain of Sand). Not that bad This is a solid album but still his worst

It's a crime to listen to this with anything but an excellent sound system or headphones. The production is such a marvel, and half the power of this very fine record! I say this only because I took it for a walk recently with my crappy earbuds. Oof... sorry, Shot of Love.

I agree. In the Rolling Stone review of this album, at the end, he asks "If Bob Dylan is such a God loving man, why would be so pissed at the world?" It just goes to show the ignorance of the low 2/5 star rating because of course Jesus was angry several times. The Bible says that Christians should hate and despise sin, to let God take you out of the pattern of this world.

The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar,In the Summertime,.,but Every Grain of Sand just got the most beautiful,compelling lyrics!!So full of truth.It takes my breath away every time I hear it.Touching, sublime,I always picture myself walking along the beach by myself whilst listening to it.Looking up into the sky,upon the horizon,beyond time and space.Possible one of the best Hymns of modern times
