And, there’s something to be said for its rambling, sprawling character, which has a charm of its own. It’s little surprise that Desire doesn’t quite gel, yet it retains its own character - really, there’s no other place where Dylan tried as many different styles, as many weird detours, as he does here. And, so it’s only fitting that Desire fits that description as well, as it careens between surging folk-rock, Mideastern dirges, skipping pop, and epic narratives. It’s all over the map, as far as songwriting goes, and so is it musically, capturing Dylan at the beginning of the Rolling Thunder Revue era, which was more notable for its chaos than its music. And while Bob Dylan directly addresses his crumbling relationship with his wife, Sara, on the final track, Desire is hardly as personal as its predecessor, finding Dylan returning to topical songwriting and folk tales for the core of the record.
