Bringing It All Back Home

Really not a big fan of Bob Dylan‘s voice..

Look I generally don't have a problem with speak singing, so long as that's what the artist is saying interesting things and they have a halfway interesting voice. Unfortunately, after listen to this, I am more convinced than ever that Bob Dylan has neither.

It's another Bob Dylan album, and my opinion hasn't changed. He's a great lyricist. He can tell good stories, he can sell a message well, he can add a bit of humor at the right times... But he's not a good singer, and he's not a good musician. And he clearly doesn't want to be. I'm open to simple folk songs, but there's a reason the majority of the versions that get play are covers.

I made it through almost 1/2 of the album and I knew some of these songs but definitely not my speed even growing up listening to Bob Dylan from my parents.

eh, not my thing

"Woa Bob, du gsehsch ja uus wie de Timon Goetschmann in Alt!" - irgendwo imene parallel-Universum. Nonie vorher, defür ide letzte 2 mönet öppe 4 mal isch mer gseit worde dasi genau wie de bob dylan usgsehn und darum bini jetzt froh siis album mal chöne glost zha und härt eis abzjudge! Und zwar scho ehner zjudge. Da chan de Bobby so es grosses Vorbild für vieli Bands und Inspiratione für vieli Albe gsii sii, am Endi vom Tag ischs hald eifach klassische Akustikgitarre-schnurregiege-Folk. (Ich gibs zue, bim eint oder andere Lied hetti mini Cowboy-Stifel zude Klapperschlange-Banjo-kläng ned chöne Still hebe.) Aber schlussendli hald doch ned so mi feel-good-sound und lust uf e contemporary-linedance-ihlaag hani hald doch eher selte. Darum bringi gar nüd back home und gib der nur 2 vo 5 Stern bim Timon-Goetschmann-Look-alike-Wettbewerb

Bob U.S.A. Dylon, Eich ja schön, chli nostalgische Sound wo biz täume lad. Glichzitig bin ich scho langsam biz triggered vo ami zügs. A) überpresenz im daily life B) überpresenz im album creator C) Selbstverständlichkeit und Arroganz vo de Amis D) Aktuelle Politik, Elon Trump E chlini Schnuregiege isch aber scho au fun. Chum runded mir uf uf es 3 oder gemer es 2. Simmer gemein und mached 2. obwohl ichs album eich han chöne lose ohni ohreschmerz z becho.

Not my cup of tea and didn't really stick out to me, I only enjoyed his hit "Subterranean Homesick Blues"

i just can't get into bob dylan

Not a fan of Dylan

Most songs follow the same recipe : Telling a story with Sentence -> Guitar/Harmonica -> sentence -> Guitar/Harmonica -> ... He's got a good voice tho

Not for me

Just a white guy singing blues

It's on the border between uninteresting and alright, but for me it's mainly just uninteresting and the lyrics get too silly at times for me to really listen seriously. Not for me at all

It was okay. I just don't love his voice.

I thought I could do it, but sadly I could not.

I think i just don't love Dylan's drawn out, storyteller approach. Too disjointed and detached for me to appreciate it.

Not quite as shit as I was expecting, but he can shove that harmonica right up his arse.

Have been trying to understand the Dylan hype for years, especially since I know he is the main inspiration for many of my all time favorite artists like for example Adam Granduciel (The War on Drugs). I still don’t get it. The tracks are very repetitive/similar, the lyrics are very dated and have not aged well and the vocal is really not doing it for me.

Good except when he sings it's shit

6/10 This starts off strong, is well made, but boy does the sound and delivery start dragging There’s only so much of these lyrics and Bob’s voice that I can take. So not for me. Blows my mind a bit that this is considered an all-timer Best: Subterranean Homesick Blues

I am never going to listen to bob Dylan stop trying to make me!!!!!

Most of this album just didn't interest me really, I guess I'm not super in love with Bob's choice of instrumentals or the general genre pallet, I think the more it leaned into blues or country is when I tuned out but songs like Bob Dylan's 115th Dream or It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) manage to do a lot more for me and then I realize "hey maybe I do like Bob's songs but mostly the darker or weirder ones" and if that isn't indicative of my taste then I don't know what it is

eh to no

I liked this better than the last bob we had. Can actually understand him a little more here and he doesn’t use the traditional “bob dylan voice” as much. I like the way his verses flow. His sing/talky way of moving through the song can be nice sometimes. I feel like he would’ve been a great Freddie Spaghetti of the 60s. I just really didn’t like it overall. Even though I’m a sucker for the harmonica, maybe like the recording systems they had back then just really make it sound so abrasive where it’s really not pleasing.

Never listened to a lot of Bob Dylan. I weirdly like him from the two albums we’ve listened to, but “Like a Rolling Stone” from the last album is the only actual song that I saved and want to listen to again. I find his voice endearing, but I just don’t care for the actual songs. We’ll see if we get a 3rd album.

Clearly an exceptional talent, the songs just do nothing for me. I know a lot of detractors take issue with his vocals and delivery, but that's not my issue. He just has failed to find a way to make me care. So far on my 1001 albums journey, spending time with an album and reading more about it usually brings greater appreciation for an artist I had a level of familiarity with but had never done a deep dive, and this is the first one I felt disappointed by. By reputation, Dylan should be delivering more. 2/5

Not really a huge Dylan fan. I prefer his songs when preformed by other people. I feel this is a quintessential Dylan album, and I still wasn't feeling it.

I don't know, man, I just don't really like Bob Dylan. How did he get so far with a voice like that? Maybe because he has a voice like that? Lyrics are good, music is fine, production is ok. Then comes in that damn harmonica. Every chance he gets. I know there was a lot of controversy when he 'went electric' but it's literally the same thing he was doing before just with a telecaster. I mean there's just like an electric guitar in the background playing fills and turnarounds here and there. It's still buried under acoustic guitar and harmonica. That's not exactly going electric if you ask me. Why were people so made about this? It's more of the same. I don't know, some of the songs are actually pretty good, but I just don't like his voice and I hate the harmonica in general. 2/5

Wake up honey, it's time for your weekly Bob Dylan album

Don’t fw dylan anymore so not doing it

I understand and am able to recognize this albums influence but I simply cannot get behind his voice. A couple songs in I was able to deal with it but towards the end it was just so … that I couldn’t do it anymore.

I dont like Bob Dylan. I know that now.

just not a fan of country music, sorry bob

Generic folk album with few interesting songs.

Not my style

enough Dylan already Standout: Love Minus Zero

Well, this Dylan album is musically better, but you still have to listen to Dylan sing, so still just an awful listen

I like a bit of Dillon, but a whole album is a lot, too much to take it all in for me

Okay, more folksy country than I realized he was

I find Bob Dylan to be a bit overrated - gravelly monotonal vocals over a guitar and a bit of harmonica… rinse and repeat. I’m sure he’s a great songwriter, I just don’t appreciate it.

..

Can’t say I was a fan of this. Not sure if it was the grating voice or the harmonica or the fact the songs were a struggle to get into. Don’t think this album will be on my playlist again anytime soon.

Not as high on this as Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde. Wouldn't mind a decent break before another Dylan album now...

I like Bob Dylan, but this is easily his most overrated work. This album is a fucking mess - have no idea how this is considered one of the greatest rock history; it's really really shit. It wouldn't hurt to sing with some vocal range, instead of the same dreary whiney voice, Bob. Fuck me. "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" really rescues this album.

AUSTRALIA MENTIONED 🇦🇺 🪃 🇦🇺 🪃 🇦🇺 I think i prefer Bob when he's singing slower melancholy kinda stuff. The up beat stuff doesn't hit for me. Short review i gotta catch up, it was alright, but not great. Feeling a 2/5 on this.

I'm going to rock up to the Bob Dylan biopic in a fucking suicide vest I swear to god. 1001 albums you need to listen to in order to see how far music has come since the days of skinny losers and grifters. There is no way that a group of people listened to It's All Over Now Baby Blue and thought 'yeah mate, this is the best version of this song we could have done, nobody is ever gonna top this'. I think baby boomers only remember songs like Blowin' In The Wind, Hurricane and Like A Rolling Stone when it comes to Bob Dylan. Maybe this was just the only thing going in a musical landscape but upon checking the Billboard charts for the year this came out the same year as Help! and Out Of Our Heads that's obviously not true. Bob Dylan is a fine songwriter but as I have said before, I cannot take a whole fuckin album of this guy. Two and a half listens of this and I just can't shake the feeling that Dylan's music sounds like a homeless guy ranting set to music. Gates Of Eden onwards is a fucking slog on here good lord. Songs I enjoyed (didn't hold my head in my hands while listening) were Subterranean Homesick Blues, Outlaw Blues, Mr Tambourine Man.

I liked Mr. Tambourine Man and Gates of Eden. Mr. Tambourine Man reminded me of American Pie by Don McLean. Other than that, the genre of music and the tempo was not really my style. Calming music that made me sleepy.

Just Harmonika

I know this album has it's place in the history and the development of music but to me it was a little boring musically. Maybe if i liked Bob Dilan's singing it would be a better experience but to me his voice and the minimal use of other instruments other than a guitar was not enough. The only songs that i enjoyed were the faster paced blues songs like Subterranean Homesick Blues.

Second Dylan album and it didn't really change my first impression. It's too abstract at times, his vocals are not good at all and too much harmonica. That damned harmonica.

Another Dylan album. I liked this one better than the first one I listened to. This one had a bluesier sound to it. It was cool to hear Subterranean Homesick Blues. I'd only really listened to the RHCP version of it.

não é meu estilo de musica

I have come to despise the harmonica due to listening to these Dylan records. I should just admit that I'm not smart enough to truly appreciate what he's doing. I read what others say about his work and I don't get it, so it is probably not him, it's me. I hope I'm done with the Dylan records on this list.

Dit album is prima te luisteren, maar ik vind het niet zo leuk. Zelfs de uitvoering van het nummer "Tambourine Man" op dit album vind ik minder dan de bekende versie.

Mr Tambourine Man is the only song that sticks out on this album. Everything else is a bland jumble of the music of the era.

Despite having low expectations and preconceptions about Bob, this wasn’t actually too bad… until I got to the 6-minute dream song which I had to skip halfway through. The rest was reasonable though.

Not a fan of Mr Dylan, but have always loved subterranean homesick blues. Something to do with the meter and rhythm of the lyrics. And there were several tracks in the same vein musically. Then we get Maggie's farm, a track with a reputation to live up to. Unfortunately it is bloody awful. His voice is similar to Mr Young's in that it can be very hit or miss, and that was a mile wide of the target. Later we got Mr tambourine man, a song popularised by The Byrds. And to be fair I do have a certain fondness for this original version. But what followed was the worst of all. An incredibly poor attempt at a style of music that Roy Harper perfected. Overall not bad, but maggie's farm and the end dragged it down to a 2.

2.4 This album had a few classic Dylan songs such as Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm and Mr. Tambourine Man. Those tunes were good. Much of the rest of the album was repetitive and whiney. I don't think I would go back and listen to that album as a whole.

probably the best dylan work yet. The Storytelling songs where really great. Lyrics really good but i dont get along withhis voice the most time... 2.5/5.0

I don't really understand all the Bob Dylan hype.

Another Bob Dylan album, another over rated artist. How come all of his songs that i've heard are better when someone covers them?

Grew on me a bit more after a couple listens

Probably the least annoying Dylan album I’ve listened to, but that was not exactly a tough competition.

I liked how upbeat this was compared to some of his other works, but something about Bob Dylan's music just doesn't land for me.

So tired of Dylan now it's insane... it was just as boring as I expected.

Fav: She Belongs to Me Least Fav: Gates of Eden

Favorite: Mr. Tambourine Man Least Favorite: On the Road Again

Never been a Bob Dylan fan, and was hoping that maybe I just heard the wrong songs, but nope, I’m still not into it. Not enough melody, just poetry to background tunes (but the tunes are good!) Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: It’s Alright, Ma

Suck it Dylan

2.5

Folks, I am a person who enjoys the blues, I promise. Nothing makes me happier than the sound of a harmonica. But give me my blues served up with a deep growl please. The three or four high pitched whiny notes that Dylan “sings” on this album darn near made my ears bleed long before the album was over. I don’t care how clever the lyrics are if it physically hurts to listen to them.

2.5

2 stars for the 2 notes the bass player knew

und er kann trotzdem nicht singen

epitome of campfire music, feels like one long song for the most part, not really a fan. a lot feels like ramblings in the form of a song, just yapping with a guitar.

Not for me

I like some bob dylan but honestly other than Mr Tamborine man this album didn’t really do it for me.

Just can't get past his nasally voice

Something about Dylan's voice just bothers me in a way I can't explain.

I like Mr. tambourine man, but man the rest of this kinda sucks. Either bob Dylan wrote one good song per album and was remembered well for it, or I just don't get it. I'm sure he'd have been a better poet.

Booooooooring

I might be spoiled with Beastie Boys' approach to the whole "I’m pretending I’m a badass cowboy criminal guy," since they take it to a very self-aware, exaggerated, and comical level. when Mr. Dylan here does the same sort of thing but without that level of laughing-at-yourself (aside from the opening of Bob Dylan's 115th Dream literally being laughter), it falls stale for me. always hard to make your mind separate classics from the line of work that followed them and not instead see the classic as just another album within that genre

Bob Dylan has written some great songs (Mr. Tambourine Man; It's All Over Now, Baby Blue). I just don't think he's the best performer. When "It's Alright, Ma" started playing, I could have sworn I had already heard it on this album. That's how similar Bob Dylan's songs sound. Also, that song is just too long.

I still do not like listening to the rambly man.

Wow, that was really boring.

I can see how Bringing It All Back Home is a good album and how Dylan took the folk sounds and mashed them up with the likes of early Beatles and Rolling Stones. But I can't really get into it overall. Best: Subterranean Homesick Blues Worst: On the Road Again

Ça m'allume tellement pas.

meh dont care for bobby d

The man can't sing and isn't much chop on the guitar either. I don't know what he's singing about and I'm not inspired to find out either. There are at least some decent songs here - when he strays from the folksie blues formula it gets better, but it's still got that harmonica cutting through everything like a machine gun of shit.

Doesn't do much for me musically. And I'm not reading along with the lyric sheet. So...

I don't think I could do this album today lol I'm just not a fan of Bob Dylan man, can't get over the VOICE!!! Sorry Bob. 2 stars.

I really like the first track. After that, I could not get into the rest. Not sure what the hell he’s talking about much of the time.

Much less screechy than the last Bob Dylan album

not touched except Tambourine man and its all over now baby blue

Fans of Bob Dylan may enjoy, but wasn't for me. A lot of similar sounding songs in my opinion

Meh

Meh 1.5/5.0: Bad

Classic Dylan. Like it and love the fact that he cares about the lyrics in his own mid-60s style.

I do not like Bob Dylan. Excellent songwriter

Subterranean homesick blues 👍🏻 Outlaw blues 👍🏻 Gates of Eden 👌🏻 Summer road trip vibes Fast, upbeat Voice started to annoy me towards the end

What a boring album, all the same melody, same blues feel without any highs. Mr tamborine man is the only highlight of the album, and even that is more nostalgia than actual interesting. Never really listened to Bob Dylan before, but it doesnt feel like a must listen from this album. Gates of Eden is absolutely not my thing

Another review summed it up for me, liked a couple of tracks but was willing the album to end towards the end... "I try and try but I just can’t do Bob Dylan 🤷‍♂️ His voice is annoying and that damned harmonica, sheesh"

Beautiful songs, lyrics. And his voice just grates on my nerves.

Bob Dylan is overrated plain and simple. I have tried so many times to "get it." I don't get it. His vocals are awful. The music is essentially just standard blues progressions with a folk flavor. Nearly every song on this album is indistinguishable from the rest. I'll give 1 additional star for Mr. Tambourine Man.

Subterranean Homesick Blues - 7.5/10 She Belongs To Me - 6.5/10 Maggie's Farm - 6/10 Love Minus Zero - 5/10 Outlaw Blues - 5/10 On The Road Again - 5/10 Bob Dylan's 115th Dream - 6/10 Mr. Tambourine Man - 6/10 Gates of Eden - 6/10 It's Alright, Ma - 6/10 It's All Over Now, Baby Blue - 6/10 TOTAL - 65/110

bob dylan's music isn't my style, and that's ok. i won't rehash what i've said in other reviews--the exception being is that *omg* his damn harmonica is like a crutch! this album, though, has the typical dylan sound that we've heard before. anyway, dylan's greatest strength is found in his songwriting. this line from "it's alright, ma" is arguably one of dylan's finest: "that he not busy being born is busy dying." his lyrics can be so powerful! because there's not much musically to his songs (to the point where i'd call them bland but not derogatory), that allows his songs to be perfect cover material. there's a reason so many of his songs are covered to this day! his lyrics pack a punch and can be well adapted into completely different genres than folk rock and blues.

I'm not very big on lyrics generally. It takes a lot of repetition and concentration for me to get invested in what is being said. To me, production is very important and what keeps me hooked and stimulated. And this album (Dylan in general) doesn't have much variety in terms of production/sound.

Not a Dylan fan but still made it most of the way through the album

Fine. Not my cup of tea. Liked his other albums a bit more.

I liked the last five songs but even those songs lasted too long for me to stay interest in.

Bob Dylan has always been an artist that I've wanted to like more than I actually do. I wasn't familiar with this particular album, but after listening I feel the same way. I think a big issue is how obtuse his lyrics are. Maybe if I had some connection to 1965 it would hit for me, but since I don't I just kind of generally don't know what the hell he's talking about most of the time. A harmonica can only take you so far.

WOW! Forgot how many great and classic songs are on this album. HOWEVER (and this is probably heresy), I could never really got into the "surreal" lyrics [e.g., I repeated that my friends were all in jail; With a sigh He gave me his card, he said "Call me if they die;" I shook his hand and said, "Goodbye;" Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet; A pay phone was ringing And it just about blew my mind; When I picked it up and said, "Hello" This foot came through the line]. Still can't do so. It would all be so terribly deep if only I were tripping on acid. No doubt a radical collection of tunes at the time (especially as he started going electric), but, IMO, the album doesn't translate to today. At least for me.

Meh, not a huge Bob Dylan fan as it is, so it didn't hold me.

Didn't love it, found the song structure repetitive and pretty boring as well as the uninventive melodies. The lyrics were interesting enough i guess I just don't enjoy the metre in which he delivers them - its very samey and rambley. Maybe another one of his albums will tell me why everyone loves him so much and calls him a songwriting genius...

I try to like Bob Dylan I really to but every time I just hate it

Ok

Ja dit was beduidend minder dan de highway..

actually better than expected, but still dull

Classic but not my style

Folk music is not a catch for me. Can’t relate to this motives and don’t feel anything

Sorry, folk is really not for me

Ein besonders Album - aber nichts für mich.

it's bob dylan

Great clasic dylan album... not my style though

man I dont give two F's for Bob Dylan. His writing is great but putting it music is a jumbled mess to me. shoulda been a slam poet Bob

It's quite boring music, but it's not *bad* enough to give it 1 star. Dylan himself might be. It's just not for me. I understand why he is liked for the lyrics and all, but they just don't speak to me at all.

Stabila låtar: Gates of Eden, Subterrean

Its Bob Dylan. It was alright but most of the songs sounded the same with a few exceptions. Super influential and sounds pretty good by today standards.

This is probably good if you like bob dylan but I don’t. Everyone should stop listening to bob dylan and listen to John prine instead.

Not my cup of tea, the latter half of the album was more decent than the rest Also the accent was pretty jarring like woah (yes this is my first time listening to Bob Dylan) Highlights: Love minus zero, Bob Dylan's 115th dream, Mr. Tambourine man, Gates of Eden

Never been a huge Dylan fan.

Didn’t like it actually Sounds obsolete, nothing attractive for me

i guess i'll have to start distinguishing these bob dylan albums soon enough. but maybe i can start with #3

Sorry, but it's not my jam. It was quite annoying and bland and got lost in the background, but not in a good way.

meh

Too nasal to be enjoyable

Not a fan of dylan I'm afraid.

Best Dylan album still not one I’d make an effort to listen to.

Ei iha mun musaa

Did not really enjoy

I’m sorry Bobby D I can’t seem to vibe with it like everyone else. Not even mushrooms could make this album sound cool.

Är inte så familjär med denna musik, men det låter definitivt som nån country-blues. Ger lite Dire Straits-vibes. Varje instrument har oftast sin egna melodi/rytm vilket låter ganska bra när de kombineras, men under en hel låt händer det inte så mycket. Låter lite som om varje låt har sin egna chord-loop som bara repeteras genom hela låten medan Dylan berättar hans lilla historia. Detta kan funka, men det blir lite tråkigt ibland. Vissa av texterna är lite intressanta. Både Maggie's farm och On the Road Again handlar om nån tjejs vrickade familj, och båda var ganska kul. Bob Dylans 115th Dream var galen.

This album helped me realize that I am not a fan of the harmonica. Every once in awhile I felt like the harmonica was piercing through my skull and jamming up my brain. I did enjoy Bob Dylans 115th Dream the most since it had a story like feel to it. Very basic but still a journey. Would not listen to it again cause of the damn harmonica

This album was most definitely not my cup of tea. I think that he is a great guitar player and an excellent storyteller but for some reason this album just felt boring I don’t think I would listen to this again.

Couple classics but all around too nasley and not my taste.

2/5

Ikkje så ille som eg frykta

Literally could be a 3 but that 7 minute song absolutely killed this record. Dylan is so overrated. I respect his style and audience but at the same time he mumbles nonsense. Shorten the album a little bit and it would have really surprised me.

This album did not age well. On the other hand, just listened to Desire and it's one of my favorite albums.

I'm not really the biggest fan of folk music but if its done well, It can be something I can quite like. Bringing It All Back Home, unfortunately, is not one of those. The songs kinda just blended together and all and all, weren't very interesting for me to listen to. Its by no means a bad album but its not really as good as I want it to be Best Song: Subterranean Homesick Blues Worst Song: She Belongs to Me

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ok

2.5

- it can’t be every damn Bob Dylan album - this one was slightly better - the song about his dream was brutal

Bob Dylan really pioneered the harsh noise with his stupid fucking harmonica

Not a country fan

I respect Bob Dylan don't get me wrong here. But just not my thing, the voice just grates me. I respect you Bob!! But I judt can't do it. So for that we start -1 star. As for the themes of the album, I enjoy. He was a young man here discussing young people concerns in the 60s. He really likes the name Maggie. On The Road Again is lyrically amazing.

I’ve never loved Dylan but this was fine No desire to revisit it but didn’t grate like some of his other stuff does with me

Mr. Tambourine Man is great but the rest leaves me cold. The rambling folk-rock delivery and loose songwriting just don’t hit the depth or dynamics I look for. I do not want to revisit this.

Early Bob Dylan. This only means one thing - I'm about to have my ears blown out by the loudest harmonica known to man, causing life-long tinnitus. ...Okay so this was just more generic Country. I was tricked into listening to Country again. God damn it, Robert Allen Zimmerman.

Not a fan.

meh

Tambourine man is great, the rest... ho hum.

Another Bob Dylan?! How many albums does he have on this list..? I don't dislike him but his music is not something I would choose to listen to. Also, not sure if this album is worse than the previous ones I got from him or if I'm just tired of listeng to him, but while the others got a 3, this is a 2.

Decent

It's another bland Bob Dylan album. I don't really get this guy

1. Subterranean homesick blues- good start to the album, very raw inatrumentals and vocals, very upbeat, not keen on the harmonica, love dylans vocals are on key with this one (liked the song) 7/10 2. She belongs to me- not too keen on dylans vocals on this one, but the lyrics are good, again just not too keen on that harmonica and found it quite boring 4/10 3. Maggies farm- loved the instrumental again very raw and upbeat nice vocals (bloody harmonica) did feel a bit repetitive 5/10 4. Love minus zero- love his vocals on this one, very sentimental lyrics, the instrumental goes really well with this one, very soft song that i would play on a date (liked the song) 6/10 5. Outlaw blues- loved the guitar, vocals on point, very upbeat 4/10 6. On the road again- harmonica was a bit much( i really don’t like harmonica lmao) nice guitar and drums though loved the lyrics, 4.5/10 7. Bob dylans 115th dream- loved the laughter and the halt of the song at the beginning, lyrics are almost telling a story that feels so real as you are following alone, really loved that, feels like his personal manifesto i actually didnt mind the harmonica in this one, the song did drag a bit (liked the song) 5.5/10 8. Mr. Tambourine man- liked his vocals, loved the acoustic, 4/10 9. Gates of eden- again nice vocals and brilliant acoustics and amazing lyrics did drag a bit and found it a bit boring- 4/10 10. It’s alright ma(i’m only bleeding)- didnt listen 11. It’s all over now baby blue- didnt listen Dylans vocals were on point and songwriting wise he is very talented however it was not my cup of tea and found that i was quite bored with the album. Fav song: subterranean homesick blues least fav- cant comment Overall album rating: 4/10

Not my favorite genre of music, but didn’t hate it. Good construct of lyrics and instruments. Wouldn’t listen to again by choice.

Wow, it's like that Weird Al Palindrome song. Over and over and over. Don't hate it, but the reedy goofy voice kinda grates after a while.

Just cannot get into Bob Dylan. 2/5

I'm tired of the album

fidèle à lui même

Way too folky for me.

While listening to this, I thought to myself that I don’t listen to Bob Dylan; I endure him. Nevertheless, this was alright. It had a good pace throughout. I still didn’t really like it overall, though.

I’m just not a fan of Dylan. It’s hard for me to listen to him. This was almost tolerable so I’ll slide through as a 2. No playlist adds.

боб дилан обыкновенный

It turns out I don't really like Bob Dylan.

didn't blow me out of the water; not my personal taste but I can appreciate the lyric writing and musical elements of this album.

I understand music can often be made for specific occasions and in the case of rock n' roll its most often for dance. This album was more a collection of hit songs than a cohesive album. The stories, lyrics and delivery are sly and enjoyable in each song, but most of the songs share the same cadence and get repetitive in succession. Overall I don't think this album matches my tastes.

Ah, another Bob Dylan album. I get the acclaim for him as an artist but even though this album contains some classics like Mr Tambourine Man, it really lacks variety - it's all strumming, strange stories told through lyrics, harmonica solos and, what I found unreasonably frustrating, outros that just fade out. The latter as I say really irritated me for some reason, it felt incredibly lazy. Just finish a song with a flourish once in a while!

Sorry Bob, ik weet dat je je best doet...

Hoe vaak staat hij in deze lijst? Vandaag word ik boos van die neuzige zang.

Whiney and nasal. Some high points but a lot of mediocre points too

nonsense nonsense harmonica

A bit repetitive for me. Also sounded like he was just rambling on and on. Listening to it was okay, some of the lyrics seemed... dated we'll say.

I don’t have much of a reaction to this. I have learned that I really don’t like harmonicas.

Another Dylan album comes up - at least this one starts with the one song I usually quite like by Dylan, unfortunately after that it all sounds like the stuff I can't be doing with, like it's a parody of what someone recons Dylan sounds like. Why would you want to hear a song just by a dude with a tambourine? And why would you then write a song about that, and make it go on for 5 and a half minutes, I just don't get it. There are a couple of points later on that manage to skew this but overall it's not for me.

Track 1: Subterranean Homesick Blues Is this supposed to be.. singing? He’s just sing talking. I don’t even know what he’s going on about. The lyrics are wacky and I guess they’re about obeying rules or something. Harmonica steals the show. Track 2: She Belongs to Me This song is about a woman that just stands out and is so independent, she’ll blow a man away with her spirit and energy. Sounds like this girl has a main character mentality. Harmonica once again steals the show. Track 3: Maggie’s Farm Bob Dylan doesn’t want to work for Maggie or any of her family members. What is the point of this song again? It’s so goofy but is probably the most enjoyable of the songs I have heard so far. Mr. Dylan doesn’t like working hard labor, I guess. I wish it was that easy, man. I feel like I’ve heard this song before somewhere.. Track 4: Love Minus Zero A love song about a woman that is just so perfect and sounds like a girl that doesn’t even exist. It’s way too disconnected from the lyrics to be genuine or sweet. Every single song sounds very similar. Basic guitar chords, harmonica solo, and some mediocre singing if you could call it that. Track 5: Outlaw Blues I am not sure what this song is about. This sounds a bit more funky than the other songs. Strumming is faster and is catchy but the lyrics are not good. Then he goes on about a “brown skinned girl” he has. Why did he have to include that? Track 6: On the Road Again Harmonica back at it again. This song is goofy-silly-funny-outrageous. It’s fine. Harmonica goes massively hard. Track 7: Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream Oh god why is this song SIX MINUTES long?! I don’t know if I can sit through this. The laughing fit at the beginning was contagious, i gotta admit. This song has the best storytelling. If you can keep up with the story though. I’m assuming this is about a dream he had..? Track 8: Mr. Tambourine Man This song is much more slow and soft. I like it. Track 9: Gates of Eden Idk what Bob Dylan’s going on about in this song, but it surely has nothing to do with the Bible. Maybe he’s talking about heaven perhaps. This song is boring. Track 10: It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) Another 6 minute long song. It’s very sing songy without much singing. I like the lyrics. Sounds like hopelessness and he is singing to his mother about how he feels. Track 11: It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue This higher range singing is not very fit for his voice. It just sounds high pitched and irritating.

PerusBD tämäkin, juuri sitä mitä odottaa, kun joku mainitsee Bob Dylanin

could be fun. Certainly early bob dylan is better than late.

Ik had niet niet heel veel zin in want dacht dat het heel oud en stoffig zou worden, maar uiteindelijk vond ik het nog best tijdloos klinken en prima te doen! 2,5

a very bob Dylan album no song is memorable

Miellekästä musiikkia.

True, this is a classic. But not one I’d listen to often. Query; Is Dylan a proto-rapper?

Too much harmonica

Very Dylan. Some of the songs had the same melody as each other

I am a massive folk fan and I absolutely recognize how amazing of a songwriter he is. I however hate Bob Dylan. I think almost every Bob Dylan cover is better than his originals. That is certainly the case here with "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", easily the best two songs on the album. Both of them were done considerably better by The Byrds. Dylan's voice pre Royal Albert Hall concert is considerably better than after. But it is still just so nasally. And OH MY GOD put down the fucking harmonica once in awhile! After this list I will probably never intentionally play a Bob Dylan song again. This however does not deserve the one star that most of his other albums do.

Maybe this album was innovative at the time, but now it sounds old-timey and boring. Not to mention Dylan's voice is annoying.

His whiny voice just ruins it for me. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me and I can't get past it to hear anything else. What did he use to counter the whiny voice? A high-pitched harmonica that was even more ear piercing. Not for me.

I know Bob Dylan is one of the greats in terms of music but I really don’t get it. There’s nothing about his music that stands out to me other than his less than mediocre voice.

Not very good

I know there's gonna be a lot more Dylan to come, but I just don't think I'll every be able to move on from the terrible whiney voice and the harmonica, no matter how good the songwriting

I knew I'd come across a lot of Bob Dylan throughout my 1001 albums journey, and I'm never in the mood for it. I'm starting to think that I have a problem with the harmonica. I do like Subterranean Homesick Blues though.

Couple of songs I liked

Bob's boring

Please, no more fucking Dylan.

Not my genre but appreciate the sounds

À part les chansons que je connaissais déjà, je n'ai pas aimé. Sa voix est bien trop nasillarde.

Two good songs, the rest hasn’t aged well

obviously, Mr Tambourine Man is a banger, but this is a pretty slow album and folk isn't high on my list.

I like the opening track and was hoping for a similar theme for the album but this time in history must have been truly miserable if Bob Dylan was considered groundbreaking. Rambling, monotonous lyrics coupled with a droning melodies and an attempt to reduce to the monotony with a one size fits all harmonica solo. God awful, boring and truly miserable.

Tut mir gut, festzustellen: ich mag dich Dylan echt nicht. Also punktuell geht’s („Love Minus Zero“) aber Albumlänge …?!? angenervte 1.6

Good transition between his early folk and electro r&b/rock n roll. I prefer "Highway...", "Blonde..." and "Nashville..." 2.75 because although it can see it's good, I hardly ever listen to it.

As far as Dylan's album go, this is not the worst. The lyrics are great as usual, however it lacks everything else. The melody, voice, and harmonica are repetitive, so enjoy it in small doses unless that's your jam.

unpopular opinion es un poco boring

It was ok, not on par with blonde on blonde though

2/5

O álbum abre com a sua melhor canção, Subterranean Homesick Blues, mais rápida e intensa em comparação com o resto do álbum. Bob Dylan aparenta ser mais versado na arte da palavra do que na música, as letras podem ser boas, mas uma música é mais do que a sua letra, melodias simples acompanhadas por uma harmónica. Muitas vezes a harmónica aparece só por aparecer que sinceramente é totalmente desnecessário a maioria das vezes. Nota: 4/10

Two bangers. And that's about it.

Pas mal! Mr tambourine man/Subteranean/Maggie's farm

I was ready to give this 3* as I enjoyed the first handful of songs which I didn't expect but by the end of the album I'd had enough of his voice and the songs weren't different enough to keep my interest despite that. 2*

Det ik mig

I just get sick of his voice after like 40 seconds in each song... I guess he’s the greatest lyricist ever or something but he’s also the most nasally singer too then.

I wouldn’t say that I listened to Dylan as a kid, but we had a best of album that was played pretty frequently. I see why there were only a few of these songs on it; the song after “Maggie’s Farm” _sucks_, and Hey, Mr Tambourine Man did you know this song goes on for a few verses too long?

Subterranean Homesick Blues" / "She Belongs to Me" Released: March 8, 1965 "Maggie's Farm" / "On the Road Again" Released: June 1965 "Gates of Eden" Released: July 20, 1965

meh, too upbeat even for a dylan album

60's American folk = not my thing. Next.

Bob Dylan halt. Nicht so mein Ding...

Not the best of his

Haven’t listened to Dylan in a while so this was great. Not the best album though

sooo boring and repetitive

Matig, erg alternatief

It's nice to have finally heard Bob Dylan, but I'm not a big fan. Worth a listen, but not my style.

Here's another artist that is objectively great but has ALWAYS turned me off. This album doesn't grate on me the way other 1 stars do, so it gets a 2 star rating. Please don't make me listen to another Bob Dylan album though. Please.

Time heals all ills? It must be 20ish years since I last heard a Dylan record front to back, after trying repeatedly to 'get' him because everyone always told me I would. But I never did. This listen didn't start well, the inane gabbling of Subterranean Homesick Blues just as ear-shredding as ever, but then 'She Belongs to Me' actually sounded quite nice! Yes, the harmonica was torture, but the rest of the song had a lovely relaxed feeling, and even his voice didn't grate too much! I was seeing all the bands that have been influenced by him and that I like emerging from the mist! But then, 'Maggie's Farm' started and this fleeting moment of optimism was snatched away. I still don't like his voice, his endless ambling lyrics, his excruciating harmonica etc. etc. and so on. Luckily (?) there are SIX MORE DYLAN ALBUMS so maybe my list of songs by him I like will grow even further beyond 1. 'She Belongs to Me', 2. 'The Man in Me'.

He’s so fucking wank it is almost remarkable. The admiration of Bob Dylan proves the stupidity of the species.

haha funny sopranos song

No soy fan del folk o de Dylan... mucho menos de la armónica, no es el tipo de sonido que me gusta escuchar. Darle una calificación baja no me parecería justo solo basándome en estas tres cosas, pero la verdad es que no provoca nada en mi escuchar su música. No lo escucharía otra vez y probablemente si me lo encuentro en la radio cambie a otra estación.

Ive tried a few times to get into Bob but I cant.

no

2 down, 5 to go. I was going to give this a "1" automatically but I actually gave this a "3" initially when I was on track three thinking maybe I was being too harsh on him. Then, I continued to listen to this pretentious harmonica filled ratshit and had to go back. When I hit the "hilarious" opening of track 7 I had to come back in here and say always go with your first thought. 1 star. Bob Dylan sucks.

I did not like it. There is something very unpleasant about the sound of a harmonica

1. bluez - 2 2. me - 1 3. farm - 2 4. zero - 1 5. outlauu - 2 6. road - 2 7. dream - 2 8. man - 2 9. eden - 1 10. alright - 1 11. baby - 1

I didn’t enjoy this album due to mostly how it sounded like. I understand and appreciate some of the topics the album was talking about but I didn’t enjoy it at all and caught myself multiple times not paying attention.

Day 1 I really did not like this album, I guess I can appreciate that it pioneered something? but yeah overall basically hated listening to it. It's like some raunchy farm guy was singing in my ear the entire time and it was so annoying.

Not for me

shut up bob

god this shit sucks so fucking bad the harmonica makes my blood boil

eu me recuso

I try. I really do. But I just don't get this guy at all. His voice is so irritating and annoying. The positives - I heard Eden in there. I have a niece named Edynne. Haven't seen her in awhile and I'd like to give her a hug. Maggie's Farm is a great song when performed by RATM. That's it. I'll go above 1 for thinking of Edynne and Rage. 1.5

*An ok album

Nope, can't do it. I tried, but I had to turn it off - I know he's a legend, but I just can't listen to his voice!!

I was wondering why I never checked out legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, oh right, I can not stand his voice! The music is typical honkytonk folksy stuff but the grating vocals, holy torture! Sounds like drunk yelling half the time. It's genuinely impressive how messy he can make a song sound despite minimal instrumentation. The first half of the album yaps about country life drudgery, by the time his poetic imagery shines on Tambourine Man I've practically closed my ears and am mentally begging the music to end so I can read the lyrics off Genius in peace.

I've been dreading this day. I hate Bob Dylan. Leonard Cohen gave strong competition, but Dylan remains the worst vocalist of all time. His voice grates on me like no one else's. The music is alright but can't overcome his obnoxious vocals. And while I normally don't care about lyrics, Dylan's are so dumb that I can't ignore them. DNF'd the album.

Holy Mid! Bit biased as I don’t like Bob Dylan generally, but Jesus Christ almost every song sounds the exact same, stereotypical country trash. Bob slurs his words almost enough to be on par with current age mumble rap; before it was cool or the “vocalists” became, generally, retarded. Thank Christ Mr Tambourine is the outlier, easily the diamond standout amongst the shit you have to wade through.

Couldn't finish it. Not my thing. Maybe I'll try again another time.

Bob Dylan, 5eme album => 1/5

Wasn't a fan of this one at all.

I gave this a 1 earlier already. 1/5

5/10

noise and jangles and a horrible singing voice

country sucks

Christ almighty, what an asshole. Bob Dylan insists on himself and he’s tiresome. Ughhnhg! My fans love my music and I hate them for it! Remember when he was into religion for awhile? As if he wasn’t already preachy enough. This fucking album is so fucking tedious that I’m going have to listen to The Black Album to help me forget this God awful record exists.

Sorry Bob, I respect you and your place in music history, but your shit sounds bland.

First time exploring folk rock. Not the biggest fan although interesting to try! Favorite songs: Bob Dylan's 115th Dream and It's Alright Ma

Ok, I agree that Bob Dylan needs to be on this list. I agree that he is an amazing songwriter and that he changed the game. But damn, there are just too many of his records on this list. I can't stand it anymore. All of the covers of his songs from other artists are better than his versions.

Un capo pero no me gusta el country

Not for me

I quit at Maggie's Farm. I can't with his voice & harmonica.

I used to not like Bob Dylan, then I had a period when I listened to him and kind of liked him, and then ended back up disliking him. So I’m open to having my mind changed, but it’s not going to be this album that does it. Rambling stream of consciousness lyrics with shitty guitar playing and harmonica, I just don’t get it.

2/7 bob dylan albums down There's nothing new going on here: - I've either heard these riffs before or he's just strumming - His voice is as gritty as ever - The harmonica is more tolerable than usual but still hurts my ears from time to time - Whenever I can make out the lyrics they are about nothing (no I'm not going to read and try to interpret the lyrics) People rave about him using an electric guitar in this one but all he does is play it like he's playing an acoustic. and gives up on it halfway through. The adverts between each song were a nice break I feel dizzy after this so I'm blaming the album only 5 more to go... 1

Fuck you bob dylan

2/5 maybe even 1/5. Too folksy or town or something. Idrk because his voice is eh and the country feeling isn't it. so maybe 1/5 because this isn't my vibe and the harmonica isn't doing it for me

I've heard about this Bob Dylan guy. His delivery is so much more annoying than I expected. Its actually making me have a physical reaction. First album so far I won't be finishing, I am too fucking irritated.

Day 141 and once again, I am plagued by Bob Dylan...

Unfortunately I am not a Bob Dylan fan. This made me anxious to listen to

Very different from my usual taste so far, not hating it but would not go back to any songs All songs kinda sound the same Lowkey whimsical Ok his voice is getting kinda annoying and that damn harmonica I tried so hard to like it but gosh his voice is like nails on a chalkboard I appreciate his work and stuff but really not for me I got to the second last song, thought i was like 5 minutes away from being done and this song is like 8 minutes long omg The chord progression is the same every song i swear bro TURN THIS SHIT OFF OMG Finally thought a song was tolerable then he brought out that goddamn harmonica

I just don't care for Bob Dylans voice. I don't understand the hype. I fear there will be many more Bob Dylan records among the 1000.

His voice is annoying

Obviously he can write songs pretty well but I would prefer other people to perform them. His voice ruined at least half the songs on here.

The most Bob Dylan-y thing I've ever heard, and I mean that very unfavorably

Only 1 or 2 songs are cool... I just can't with the rest

qualcuno gli togli quell’armonica dalle mani

Yes he’s iconic. No I can’t stand his music

I do not like Bob Dylan get him away from me

Bob dylan again? Why? Where's the variety

no me gusto, no me gusta el folk y encima no puedo entrar a mi cuenta de epic MEDIA ESTRELLA

I realize more and more that I am not a Bob Dylan fan. "Mr Tambourine Man" was fine, but the rest is quite a lot of whining in a tone that I don't quite like

What trip on some early Bob thoughts.

I don't like country

REALLY BAD, the music might be good if Bob Dylan would shut his fucking trap.

A very well respected journalist once said that Bob Dylan “was a busker who got lucky”. That journalist was correct. This is the most overrated album yet (excluding The Dark Side Of The Moon) on this list. Let’s break down why this album is rubbish. Dylan’s voice is among the worst I have heard on this list; it’s grating and whiny. It’s almost as unlistenable as Thom Yorke on Hail To The Thief. I made it to the last song on this record, but I had to bail after 2 minutes. The vocals made me quit. When he raises his voice, it makes me flinch. It sounds like somebody is strangling a goat. Musically, it sounds sophisticated on the surface but it’s not really. There are three songs on this album which Dylan plays over and over, with different vocals on top. Mediocre, at best. Lyrically, it’s nothing special. At times, the lyrics make no sense. At other times the lyrics are inane and boring. Despite what gullible music fans will say, Bob Dylan is not a wordsmith. People will give this 4 or 5 stars because NME or Rolling Stone told them it’s a classic. I ask: based on what? It’s old fashioned dross which is not relevant in the 21st century, culturally or musically. It doesn’t hold up. It’s 60 years old and it shows. I was going to give this 2/5 because despite its limitations and repetitive nature, there is a semblance of musical talent (not vocal ability), but I found myself feeling annoyed and imposed upon while I listened, so I’m afraid I have to give it 1/5. I don’t want to listen to this again

When I got to “Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream” it all came together. I do not like this ramblin’ loser.

Of the 2 minutes I listened, probably the best of Dylan shit that’s been forced into our ears.

Ain't no force in this world that can make me listen to Dylan's whinings, except 1001 Albums Generator

I didn’t enjoy this album whatsoever, just not my type of thing!

1.5. What am I missing?

Fucking Dylan

IT's Bob Dylan. It's like listening to an off key siren whistle with annoying rhythm
