I was surprised to see ultimateclassicrock have an in-depth article on the band like that, but kind of knew within a few paragraphs that it had to be written by him. He's a good writer but always exaggerates and overrates the output of the band, trying to make more of it than it really is just to be able to justify how great the band in his eyes is. His fanboy-ism always ruins his articles.

All right thanks! Didn't know the Bob Dylan inspiration either. It struck me odd that the article finished like that, " Unfortunately, it also clear now that this album marked the end of an era, as the band’s focus seemed to shift more towards touring in support of their massive catalog". The first leg of that tour in the states was crazy with promoting the album, often having up to 8 songs of the album almost every night, but after with Lost Highway they did almost the same thing. Even performing the album in its entirety some nights. I think the focus maybe shifted after 'the circle' when they started playing 2 to 4 new songs a night and the show that got more were few and far between...
