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''
