Given the other volumes in the series, it's a given that chronological order isn't the M.O; it would seem as though there is some kind of wacky aesthetic principle at work. There are some real thematic reasons for the juxtaposition of the first two LPs, and both of them are considered among Dylan's finest records, but Infidels -- in juxtaposition -- is a cipher, full of deep reggae grooves, apocalyptic sentiment, and Judeo-Christian obsessions -- and a fine love song or two. This would be an interesting place to start for the novice Dylan fan. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
