Bob Dylan's Modern Times arrives on the heels of his comments about the last 20 years of recorded music. It's a top-seller at Amazon.com and is the one release most everybody's talking about this week. Reviews (read at metacritic) have been extremely positive.

Of course, everybody is also talking about Jessica Simpson's A Public Affair. Here we'll get probably get proof positive that Sony BMG's decision to sell a DRM-free MP3 of the first single will not harm first week sales (or second, or third, or fourth).

There are a few other releases that should be in contention for a great first week: Method Man's 4:21...the Day After, Best Thang Smokin' by T.I. protege Young Dro, Tego Calderon's The Underdog/El Subestimado and The Roots' Game Theory.
