4 | ''Time Out of Mind'' is the thirtieth studio album by Music/BobDylan, released in 1997. Upon release it was met with huge commercial and critical praise. Many named it one of his best albums. It was certainly the best-received Dylan album since ''Music/BloodOnTheTracks'' from 1975 and his first with original material since ''Under the Red Sky'' from 1990, which had been a critical and commercial disappointment. It won the 1998 UsefulNotes/GrammyAward for Album of the Year, Dylan's only album to do so. |

22 | !! Tropes Out of Mind: |
23 | |
24 | * AlliterativeTitle: "'''M'''illion '''M'''iles". |
25 | * AlwaysNight: Subverted by "Not Dark Yet". |
26 | * AntiLoveSong: "Love Sick", "Till I Fell in Love with You" |
27 | --> ''I was alright, 'til I fell in love with you'' |
28 | * BreakUpSong: "Can't Wait" |
29 | --> ''Oh, honey, after all these years you're still the one'' |
30 | --> ''Well, I'm strollin' through the lonely graveyard of my mind'' |
31 | --> ''I left my life with you somewhere back there along the line'' |
32 | --> ''I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate'' |
33 | --> ''I don't know how much longer I can wait'' |
34 | * DistinctDoubleAlbum: Dylan's first since ''Music/SelfPortrait'' (1970). It's a single CD, though. |
35 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: "Tryin' to Get to Heaven". |
36 | --> ''I've been all around the world, boys'' |
37 | --> ''And I'm tryin' to get to heaven before they close the door.'' |
38 | * EpicRocking: "Highlands" (16:31) was the longest song he'd released up to that point, and remained his longest studio recording until [[Music/RoughAndRowdyWays "Murder Most Foul"]] exceeded it by 23 seconds in 2020. "Standing in the Doorway" (7:43), "Not Dark Yet" (6:29), and "Cold Irons Bound" (7:15) are also long enough to qualify for the trope. |
39 | * FaceOnTheCover: Bob Dylan playing guitar. |
40 | * GayParee: Mentioned in "Not Dark Yet". |
41 | --> ''Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paris'' |
42 | * HaveAGayOldTime: "Standing in the Doorway"--"I'm strumming on my gay guitar." But since it was written and recorded in 1997 it's a case of Dylan purposely using the old meaning to convey anachronism. |
43 | * LongestSongGoesLast: "Highlands", which is almost as long as the three previous songs combined |
44 | * RecordProducer: Dylan hired Daniel Lanois to produce, just as he had with ''Oh Mercy'' eight years earlier. |
45 | * ShoutOut: |
46 | ** "Highlands" |
47 | --> ''I'm listening to Music/NeilYoung, I gotta turn up the sound'' |
48 | --> ''Someone's always yellin': "Turn him down"'' |
49 | --> ''(...) I say: "I've read Erica Jong."'' |
50 | ** The album having the same title as a Music/SteelyDan song might be a coincidence, but remember that their debut album (''Can't Buy a Thrill'') was named after a line in a Dylan song.[[note]]"[[Music/Highway61Revisited It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry]]"[[/note]] |
51 | * SillyLoveSongs: "Make You Feel My Love", which not coincidentally has become one of Dylan's most covered songs of the last 40 years. (In fact, Music/BillyJoel's version was released before Dylan's). |
52 | * SomethingBlues: "Dirt Road Blues". |
53 | * WalkTheEarth: "Dirt Road Blues" |
54 | --> ''Gonna walk down that dirt road'' |
55 | --> '' 'Til someone lets me ride'' |
56 | --> ''If I can't find my baby'' |
57 | --> ''I'm gonna run away and hide'' |
