Bringing It All Back Home

I love the vibes, loathe his voice

This white boy’s got me in a chokehold.

bob dylan is like 'i have something i need to say!' and then he says it over and over again in the same tone and using the same notes and it actually works like 70% of the time

Love bob

For someone who likes music as much as I do, I've never cared much to explore Bob Dylan's discography. Not that I dislike his music or don't respect what he's done for music...I just left his catalog alone for whatever reason. But I knew I'd have to listen to some Bob while doing this endeavor, and finally at album #267, I got my first Dylan album. So let's delve in... I've always been more partial to the music over lyrical content; while both can interest me, an interesting musical idea will capture my attention more than an interesting turn of phrase. But Dylan, particularly here, is probably better regarded as a great wordsmith. And it definitely shows on "Subterranean Homesick Blues", or "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream", which are wonderfully surrealist and fun. The lyrics are definitely the star here. The back half which is more his normal earlier folk side is fine, but doesn't hit me as hard. Overall, this was a very enjoyable album. I'm looking forward to more.

The end of Dylan that I enjoy with Subterranean Homesick Blues being a favourite.

:)

Not my favourite album of our Bobs, but not a bad effort lad. Charging £122 a ticket isn’t very folk of you though.

My favorite of the Dylan albums we've listened to so far. I'm not sure this is quite a 5 but I'm gonna give it to him anyway.

To this day I still thank the lord above that Bob Dylan went electric. Thank you bobby.

very good album. i have heard of bob dylan before but his album is a gem. will be relistening to this

Bob Dylan dans sa toute sa splendeur, guitare acoustique et chant au top, harmonica dans des recoins, un bon album que j'ai vraiment apprécié écouter mais que je n'irai sûrement pas réécouter dès demain.

I don't like folk music that much because I find it repetitive/ boring, so this was quite annoying. The lyrics are cool though. 2/5

I get why people like Bob Dylan; quintessential 1960s rock for sure! I can understand why people would like his lyric storytelling. His voice is too monotonous for me. I feel like he picks one note and sings the whole song in that note. I have respect, but this is a 2/5 for me. I would not choose this again.

Dylan trekk mæ alltid tebake te Engelsk 1 i vg2. Kanskje d faget æ kost mæ mest me i løpet av hele vidregående, me den aller beste lærern. Huske æ gråt når æ gikk ut av siste time fordi hu sa kor god æ va, og æ innså at det hele va over. albumet e veldig bra har fine sanga som æ e veldig glad i, men som helhet e d en del æ bare ikke brydd mæ veldig om. mulig æ har vært i litt dårlig humør og kjem te å lik d videre, men akkurat no va d litt skuffende, bortsett fra dem som helt klart e kjempefin

-i mean it's Bob Dylan -i like Maggie's farm -a lot of this is just straight up fun to listen to -i really like the idea that Bob Dylan made music not all about love. That's an interesting perspective on why he's famous and influential -never realized how much vibe there is packed into each song? Putting lyrical content aside -lyrics just show such experience and empathy beyond his years -goes off slower and less instrumented in the second half

'Johnny's in the basement / Mixing up the medicine / I'm on the pavement / Thinking 'bout the government.' & so, rapping was invented. No, no, that's not actually true, but you can't tell me those aren't some hard bars. I think of Chuck D: 'I got a letter from the government the other day / I opened & read it, it said they were suckers.' Anyhow, Bringing It All Back Home is a formidable classic, Dylan's first '65 release that may just be better than that other & more renowned second release. I love many of its minor tracks, like 'Love Minus Zero,' 'Outlaw Blues,' & 'On the Road Again,' occupying a meaningful center of the album, & there's an overarching levity that Highway 61 lacks. But comparison of the two is probably fruitless. We're lucky to have both.

I cannot deal with Bob. How did this guy get so popular. I don't think I've ever heard an artist that actually deserved to get swirlied as a kid until this guy.

Me gustó! Disfruté más la primera parte del álbum

As someone who isn't a terrible Dylan fan, I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. Dylan's guitar arrangements, especially on the second acoustic half are beautiful, and even though his singing style and cryptic lyricism may not be for me, I can totally appreciate this album for what it is. 7/10.

The whole time this was upbeat and fun! I didn’t go into it liking it, I thought the first few tracks were just ok, but it really picked up! 3.5/5⭐️ 298/1089

Bob Dylan is a prank. I guess some of these songs are good despite his voice but come on now. Be serious. "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", okay this one I dig. I guess the folk stuff appeals to me more, but I still don't get why he's idolized.

Таке, мені не надто сподобалось напевно через величезний відрив від того до чого звикла Можу уявити як під ці пісні герої в кінці старого фільму ідуть у захід

My favourite Dylan album It's all here.

Made me feel like I was in Alabama song. I really don’t like county and this was very country-ish… the slower stuff is good though. I think it’s mostly the accent, like if it was sung by something else it would be fine minus harmonica. I feel like I’ve been pre-conditioned to not like this ugh. Really liked Mr. Tambourine man- more emotional. Subterranean homesick blues (2/10) She belongs to me (7/10) Maggie’s Farm (5/10) Love minus Zero (8/10) On the road again (6/10) Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream (4/10) Mr. Tambourine Man (9/10) Gates of Eden (3/10) the start was cute though It’s Alright, Ma (3/10) It’s all over now, Baby Blue (4/10) In conclusion, I would dance to it at the bar, but wouldn’t listen to it on my own.

It’s always interesting to get an album that isn’t 5 stars but undeniably has 5 star songs. Bob Dylan isn’t an artist I’ve been overly familiar with nor had huge amounts of respect for, and while this album hasn’t fully converted me it’s definitely going to see some more of his work going into my titanic playlist. Subterranean Homesick Blues and Bob Dylan’s Dream are both phenomenal lyrically and musically (though one of my gripes with the album is the stranded take put at the start of Dream, I just don’t know why they chose to put that in). Throughout the album Dylan’s lyrical ability is superb; this album definitely doesn’t have a dull moment with how engaging and hard to predict many of these songs are despite a clear pattern and rhyme scheme. I find the album tails off towards the end and while and harmonica is an instrument I don’t always hold in high regard so it’s heavy lifting here can get a touch grating, as I say this album absolutely has 5 star songs its bulk are closer to 3 and 4. This is in no way a crime, but I wouldn’t feel right giving the album a 5 for the two songs I would alone. A very enjoyable listen, towards the top end of the albums I’ve given a four; my kingdom for a spectrum of 10 rather than five.

Of course I have heard of Bob Dylan but can't say I have heard a lot of his music outside "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Like a Rolling Stone". This is my first listen to one of his albums in full. "Subterranean Homesick Blues": Ok, definitely heard parts of this song before today. I think from a television ad. Upbeat. Not Bad. "She Belongs to Me": Not my type of song but the lyrics are ok. "Maggie's Farm": Nothing about this one stood out to me. - "Love Minus Zero": Another boring one. "Outlaw Blues": This is more upbeat. More bluesy rock style and more up my alley. "On the Road Again": I grooved to this one a little bit. It's ok + "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream": Another upbeat rock groove. I did like this one and it's strange lyrics. "Mr. Tambourine Man": A very recognizable Dylan song but I do prefer the version by The Byrds (don't shoot me). I'll give it a plus because Dylan wrote it but this won't be the version on my playlist "Gates of Eden": I'm beginning to dislike Dylan's harmonica in his songs. "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)": Dylan drops some bars on this one but overall this is not a song for me. Too long - "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue": Too much folk, not enough groove This album made me realize that I don't really like Bob Dylan's voice or his harmonica or maybe folk music itself. That probably doesn't bode well for future Bob Dylan albums on this list. I did like the more upbeat stuff though and those songs saved this album enough for me to give it 3 stars

10/22 Oh great, more Bob Dylan. I don't like Bob Dylan.

Not my style. I realize I lack the historical context important to fully appreciate this album, but standalone... That being said, I loved the last 2 songs!

Never before gave ol' Bob a proper listen. I am quite glad that has changed. It is perfectly understandable that some people dislike the musical part of the songs on this record. However, I find the lyrics irrefutably genius.

What a start! A perfect bluesy listen from start to finish. Very clear recording allowed me to really listen to the amazing storytelling lyrics of Bob Dylan. Great Album!

This to me is prime Dylan. Yeah he pissed off some folks by playing with a band and *GASP* and electric guitar, but this and the album, Another Side of Bob Dylan are my favorite albums of his. Like I know this album so well from listening to it over the years I'm not going to be good at why I love it so much. It just hit correct. The sound is different from his early work because of the *GASP* electric guitar, and it pays off. The band gives it more depth than his older albums. I enjoy this one every listen. Maggies Farm is a great tune for the band and if you have a chance go listen to the Rage Against the Machine version. I love it when a cover elevates the material. It's Alright Ma is another great tune. Sadly it's one of those songs that hold true today and that makes it more chilling. Such a good album. Just so many great fun songs.

This is not Dylan's very best album, but it's from his peak period.

A lot better than I expected!

Good one

More great storytelling but only some of the songs hook me like Blonde on Blonde did two days ago. If I hadn't just listened to another better Dylan album it would probably be a 4.

Album length - medium Memorable songs/melodies - none Added to my music library - no Other remarks - great lyrics; poor singing

Definitely not bad. Solid Dylan album. Would give it a 3.5 but I'll round up in this case.

Another classic. Yeah some of the songs are not perfect on the first side but the better songs are so good that it overides them all.

Very nice country.👍🏽

68

4.5 - awesome, essential folk rock. All the platitudes are deserved. Dylan is vital and incomparable, and this record finds him entering his peak.

One of the more bluesy Dylan albums to my knowledge. I've always liked this album a lot. Side 1 and 2 are equally great. Top Tracks: Maggie's Farm, Love Minus Zero, On the Road Again, It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Absolutely groundbreaking stuff here. What can I say about it that hasn't already been said? The album's importance lies in a perfect combination of continuity and change. Dylan retained his folk roots while also expanding on what the genre could (and should) be. He uses this album to distance himself from the political movements he found himself thrown into but you also can't listen to this and not call him a revolutionary of some kind.

Vaca catch up

Remarkable and rocking.

Love the first and last tracks - saved outlaw blues because I had never heard it before

Meh, every song sounds the same. One melody, one harmonica, lyrics are somewhat captivating.

I like Bobby D most of the time. I wish the songs were sonically more different from one another…but that also wasn’t this era of Bob. On songs like “Don’t Worry Ma” you can hear the lyrical genius that got him the Nobel…on songs like “Tambourine Man” you can hear why sometimes someone needed to tell him “hey man should this really be 5 minutes…?” But therein is the dichotomy of Bob.

Dylan at his the crossroads and creative with iconic songs and opaque lyrics

First Listen Favorites: Subterranean Homesick Blues I'm Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Honorable Mentions: Mr Tambourine Man Love Minus Zero Outlaw Blues

Onpa kyllä vammasen kuulosta laulua. Älä laita tällästä.

Tämähän se maittaa.

Onhan tää nyt ihan saatanan hieno levy. Pelkästään Love Minus Zero ansaitsisi yksinään kuusi tähteä. Toki muutenkin pelkkää juhlaa.

I really liked this ablum. I was surprised by the amount of humour in the lyrics, especially Bob Dylan's 115th Dream. I thought I'd miss The Byrds version of Mr. Tambourine Man, but the original is just lovely.

Vocally one of Dylan's best. Partial here because it is probably my favorite Dylan record but this is a solid piece of work with now classic tracks and musical moments.

Dylan is a good if sometimes dates songwriter, although he isn't that good a performer. I did enjoy his 115th dream though, that was a surrealist gen. ⭐⭐⭐

6/10 - great voice, some good songs, some meh songs

First Bob Dylan album of the list; one that I enjoyed but didn't fall in love with. Pleasant melodies and lyrics throughout. Favourites: Bob Dylan's 115th Dream Tambourine Man It's Alright Ma (I'm only Bleeding)

Great tunes I’m a fan Charming, much like my good self

1 de 1001 — Consigo entender o impacto que o Bringing It All Back Home teve na música da época e continua tendo nos dias de hoje, mas isso não me impede de achar o álbum chato para um caramba, principalmente quando aquela gaita começava a tocar em todas as músicas. A única faixa que me agradou foi 'She Belongs to Me', mas de forma bem, bem sofrida e posso atestar que tenho interesse nenhum em ouvir outros trabalhos do Bob Dylan.

Good music for a rainy day

아… 안 듣고싶어서 넘김

I absolutely love Bob Dylan. This is the kind of folk/americana music I can throw on and listen to all day long. Dylan's voice is so unique and (bad) that it is amazing. This is an easy 4.5 for me and we know that around here, we round straight to the UPS

Surprised by this album as I've tried to listen to bob dylan albums and foumd them very inconsistent. The first half feels like it should just be standard unremarkable 12bar blues but has but, other than in the road again, the songs are remarkably varied and the electric guitar and harmonica is well layered over dylans voice. The slower second half is much better although I'm not a big fan of its alright ma I'm only bleeding as it drones on. Favourite: mr tambourine man Likes: subterranean homesick blues, she belongs to me, outlaw blues, bob dylans 115th dream, gates of Eden. Dislikes: on the road again, it's alright ma I'm only bleeding

Guitar section, the same vocal melodies, aggressive harmonica - rinse & repeat. This is enjoyable in a way, but some of the vocals and the insane overuse of the harmonica are so annoying. At its time I can imagine this music being amazing, but I just can't force myself to love Bob Dylan music. There are some great hight moments here - I'm Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) is an unbelievable track, but too much of it jars. 7/10.

If someone didn’t know what Bob Dylan sounded like and wanted a way in to understand what a lot of the fuss was about, this album is a pretty great place to start.

Ok, sama naslovnica mi ni znana, sm pa ornk familiar z kar nekaj komadi. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" mi je bil zmer kul. So far (sem pri "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream") mi je ful enjoyable album. Mogoč še najbl do zdaj (mislim, da je to tretji Bob Dylan k sm ga kle dobila - jap, kar me spomne, da bo kmal spet v Lj? Tokrat ne grem, once was enough glede na to, kako zadnjih ne vem kok let špila na koncertih (it wasn't that good)). Album pa prou fajn.

Ohne Lebensmittelvergiftung tatsächlich gut hörbar

A great album with a ton of great lyrics

this album is the first time I've truly understood how people find his voice repellent I *love* bad singers and this was painful. maybe he does need that acoustic guitar.

Bob Dylan one of the most unique artists to do it and his style just tickles my brain. I love the more rock and roll backing of thee first half and find myself charmed with the folk/ acoustic stylings in the back half. Good music! Fav tracks: subterranean homesick blues, she belongs to me, on the road again, Bob Dylan’s 115th dream, and Mr. Tambourine man

nice and quick, HARMONICA, i love mr tamborine man,

This album is the first of three great albums that for me are Dylan's best, and a golden mid-60s period. These albums really shook up rock music.

4.18

This is a fantastic Dylan record, but not one of my faves. Love Minus Zero, Mr Tambourine Man & Gates of Eden have stayed with me for decades.

Ok this one wasn’t as bad

One of the all time greats!

Dylan goes partially electric. Sucks for Pete Seger (who I do have more sympathy for after seeing A Complete Unknown, I thought the film did a good job of showing that it wasn’t just him being a musical Luddite), but good for the rest of us.

Asså jag tror inte jag gillar Bob Dylan

Always been a big Dylan fan so I am already very familiar with this album. Hadn’t heard in in a while so it was great to revisit

i shoulda known id be forced to listen to dylan 115th dream is good though so that earns a star

The one where Bob moves from acoustic folk icon into groundbreaking rock star. Lyrics become imagery as poetic and surreal. Shifting what rock lyrics can be. It is a classic, it remains a classic, it defined that generation. But it’s not all history, It’s a great album, and listen. 5 Star

Um Bob Dylan bem mais rock n’ roll e bem mais country que o primeiro que ouvi, The Freewheelin’. Consigo ver muito de Elvis servindo como inspiração e muito de Creedence sendo inspirado nesse trabalho. Gostei.

A beautiful Dylan album. There's not only good songwriting on display here but also a lot of personality. The simple outtake at the start on 115th Dream adds a good bit of fun to the whole album, and Bob is in his usual good form for this era. I recommend highly.

3/5 Favorite Songs: Subterranean Homesick Blues Outlaw Blues Mr. Tambourine Man Its Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

Great mix of his folky and bluesy tunes. Home to some bona fide classics. One of his best

A lyrical masterpiece and a triumph in songwriting. Gates of Eden is a standout

rym 4.09 Folk Rock/Singer-Songwriter 必须承认鲍勃迪伦就是民谣摇滚里听起来最舒服的一档。 pick: Love Minus Zero / No Limit, It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), Mr. Tambourine Man

The last time I listened to this was a year ago, it’s always a treat to come back to. His music opened my eyes to ALL music. I forget how much I love this! 4.5

Would give six stars if I could etc etc

Review - not his best work but still very good. Early experimentation in electric instrumentation for him. Still working in his folly, one take and it's good enough style. Whole album recorded in about two days is crazy. Second half of the album is by far the best. I'm Only Bleeding and It's All Over Now are wonderful tracks. Opening 3 tracks great too. Lull in the middle. Score - 7.5/10 Need to listen? YES

I'm not a fan of Dylan and this album didn't help me. It was fine.

3.7

Good singer, just not my kind of music.

Grew up on this album, feels like the most in his wheelhouse Bob Dylan. I don't think it's his best album to be clear but it's his most Bob Dylan album for me.

Good songs, too bad Bob is singing them.

Unparallelled songwriting. The live performances from this period are quite good.

incredible obviously

Classic Bob
