The album is split into two distinct halves; the first half of the album features electric instrumentation, in which on side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric rock and roll band. The second half features mainly acoustic songs. The album abandons the protest music of Dylan's previous records in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics.

Some critics and fans were not quite as taken with the album as a whole, relative to his previous work, for its lack of humor or musical diversity. Still, The Times They Are a-Changin' peaked at No. 20 on the US chart, eventually going gold, and belatedly reaching No. 4 in the UK in 1965.

The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely arranged ballads concerning issues such as racism, poverty, and social change. The title track is one of Dylan's most famous; many feel that it captures the spirit of social and political upheaval that characterized the 1960s.

The Times They Are a-Changin' is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on February 10, 1964, through Columbia Records. Whereas his previous albums, Bob Dylan (1962) and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963), combined original material and cover songs, this was the first to feature only original compositions.

Throughout 1963, Dylan worked on a novel and a play. A number of publishers were interested in signing Dylan to a contract, and at one point, City Lights (a small but prestigious company specializing in poetry) was strongly considered. However, as Dylan worked on his book at a casual pace, his manager, Albert Grossman, decided to make a deal with a major publisher.

Despite the album's thematic shift, Dylan performed the entirety of Another Side of Bob Dylan as he had previous records – solo. In addition to his usual acoustic guitar and harmonica, Dylan provides piano on one track, "Black Crow Blues". Another Side of Bob Dylan reached No. 43 in the United States (although it eventually went gold), and peaked at No. 8 on the UK charts in 1965.

Another Side of Bob Dylan is the fourth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 8, 1964, by Columbia Records.
The album deviates from the more socially conscious style which Dylan had developed with his previous LP, The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964). The change prompted criticism from some influential figures in the folk community – Sing Out! editor Irwin Silber complained that Dylan had "somehow lost touch with people" and was caught up in "the paraphernalia of fame".

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan reached number 22 in the US (eventually going platinum), and became a number-one album in the UK in 1965. In 2003, the album was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 2002, Freewheelin' was one of the first 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Одновременно с выступлениями музыканты записывали второй альбом. "Silent Company" был выпущен 27 июня 2005 года всё на том же Limb Music. Стоит отметить, что на концертах бас-гитаристом был Mark Kelson - участник группы The Eternal, а на студии бас-гитаристом был Evan Harris. Партии ударных записывались в Германии, все остальные инструменты - в Мельбурне.

The album featured several other songs which came to be regarded as among Dylan's best compositions and classics of the 1960s folk scene: "Girl from the North Country", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".
Dylan's lyrics embraced news stories drawn from headlines about the ongoing civil rights movement and he articulated anxieties about the fear of nuclear warfare. Balancing this political material were love songs, sometimes bitter and accusatory, and material that features surreal humor. Freewheelin' showcased Dylan's songwriting talent for the first time, propelling him to national and international fame. The success of the album and Dylan's subsequent recognition led to his being named as "Spokesman of a Generation", a label Dylan repudiated.

Мода на дэт-метал постепенно проходила, Blood неуверенно огляделись вокруг и решили, что внешний мир слишком непостоянен для них. За тенденциями все равно не уследишь… И немцы излечились от «смертельного» недуга, вернувшись к своему наследию 80-х. Придэтованный грайнд нового времени вышел еще более радикальным и близким к эталону стиля, чем то, что они делали на своем первом альбоме. «O Agios Pethane» техничен, четок и одновременно с этим колюч и неправилен, как настоящий экстрим. Знакомство с этим релизом равносильно молниеносной поездке на свежесмазанном тракторе по едва вспаханному полю. Бодрит и сотрясает, хотя и не дает усомниться в надежности выбранного механизма.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on May 27, 1963, through Columbia Records. The record marks the beginning of Dylan's writing contemporary lyrics to traditional melodies. His debut album Bob Dylan contains only two original songs, whereas eleven of the thirteen songs on Freewheelin' are Dylan's compositions. It opens with "Blowin' in the Wind", which became an anthem of the 1960s, and an international hit for folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary soon after the release of the album.

Пол Брюс Ди́кинсон (англ. Paul Bruce Dickinson; 7 августа 1958, Уорксоп, Великобритания) — британский рок-музыкант, писатель, спортсмен (фехтовальщик), пилот гражданской авиации, теле- и радиоведущий, автор книг и сценарист, продюсер, прежде всего известный как фронтмен хеви-метал-группы Iron Maiden (по версии журнала Classic Rock он занимает 12 место в рейтинге лучших фронтменов рок-музыки).Покинув Iron Maiden в 1993 году на волне спада популярности хеви-метала, Дикинсон прошёл долгий путь творческого поиска, в процессе которого безуспешно экспериментировал с новыми музыкальными стилями (в частности с гранжем). После создания группы Skunkworks и её коммерческого провала возобновил сотрудничество с гитаристом Roy Z. Результатом их сотрудничества стали успешные хеви-металические альбомы Accident of Birth и The Chemical Wedding. В итоге успех Дикинсона как сольного вокалиста стал расти, тогда как покинутая им группа постепенно теряла популярность. Его возвращение в Iron Maiden в 1999 году вернуло коллективу былую известность, но в то же время не стало препятствием для его сольной карьеры и работы в качестве пилота гражданской авиации.

Dylan met John Hammond at a rehearsal session for Carolyn Hester on September 14, 1961, at the apartment shared by Hester and her then-husband, Richard Fariña. Hester had invited Dylan to the session as a harmonica player, and Hammond approved him as a session player after hearing him rehearse, with recommendations from his son, musician John P. Hammond, and from Liam Clancy.

The album did not receive much attention at first, but it achieved some popularity following the growth of Dylan's career, charting in the UK three years after its release, reaching No. 13.
