Bringing It All Back Home

Better than I expected.

bobby d

Bob Dylan, you whiny bastard. Some of the lyrics were good, but goddamn, I will never get past your terrible voice, or egregious use of harmonica.

Amazing songwriting, fantastic lyrics, a true poet. If that were it it would be an easy 5 stars, but that voice, Jesus it's awful. Every cover of a Dylan song sounds better than him doing it. I'm less than 200 albums in to this project, wonder how much more of this I will be subjected to.

At his best

This album was a bit repetitive ://// idk if this is for me I’m sorry! I know he’s a big dawg of folk!!!

This is one of my favourites of his, the way it's cut in half between the raw electric stuff and very lovely acoustic stuff. Bob Dylan's been mytholigised so much that he's basically a meme at this point, but I still think the best moments here like Maggie's Farm and Subterranean Homesick Blues and It's All Over Now hold up, and the lyrics are just really really great poetry (even though that's a very lukewarm and cringe take). Sorry I just can't be contrary about this one, I like it a lot.

I couldn’t have been happier to see this album pop up. I love Bob Dylan. He’s second only to the Grateful Dead in the number of records I own by an artist. And this is my favorite Dylan album to boot. Bringing It All Back Home was the start of Dylan’s split from folk, his first record with an electric band backing him on some of the songs - gasp. The folk scene was displeased, but the electric songs on this are outstanding. Some people just don’t like change. Dylan’s songwriting is so prolific early on in his career, he never seems to run out of great material. His imagery and lyrics are top notch, he can tell great stories in a short period of time. In my opinion, he is the best songwriter of the 1960’s. I even like his voice, which I know is a barrier for a lot of people. It’s completely unique, you always know who it is and it fits the music perfectly. I could write paragraphs about this guy (well even more paragraphs than I have already) but I’ll just finish with, for me this is the best album we’ve had so far. There’s not a song on here I don’t love. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Bob Dylan has his vocals at the forefront of every song and the lyrics send you into a mental quagmire. Dylan’s voice is very unique and he is one of those artists you know right away when you hear him singing. The music playing behind him, mostly guitar and harmonica, are consistently solid and easy to appreciate. A great addition to this list and I was happy to listen to it. PS - The film about Dylan (A Complete Unknown) was also well done and gives a good glimpse of his start in the music business.

This is a pretty remarkable album. Yes, hate on Dylan for his voice, or because of all the harmonica, or because it’s more like whining than singing. But, it’s the songwriting … no one wrote lyrics like this before he did, certainly no one with any mainstream credibility. Essentially, the genre of folk rock and singer/songwriter was created here and these songs are among its firstborn offerings. As someone who has always valued lyrics over melodies, I hold Dylan as an important voice in music history. This important album is the beginning of a period when lyrics were finally allowed to evolve past “baby baby, oooh I love you girl” (that is, until Bieber came around and ruined it all again). His use of poetry, metaphor and lyrical depth changed how almost everyone wrote songs after this, whether you like these songs or not (and I very much do). You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows with this one.

Artists like Bob Dylan are timeless and come once in a generation. I'm not the biggest fan, but a fan none the less. Bringing it all back home is one of his best albums, Subterranean Homesick Blues kicks the album off perfectly. Outlaw Blues, 115th dream, Gates of Eden, and It's all over now Baby Blue are the stand outs for me but this is one of the Dylan albums I don't mind listening to start to finish.

I found that I liked Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan, even though it isn’t the type of music I usually gravitate toward. The album challenged my expectations and made me appreciate its lyricism and influence, even if it sits outside my normal listening preferences.

Fabulous

It's a good album, but a better setup for Blonde On Blonde which is a GREAT album. I understand not liking his voice, but there's no excuse for not liking his songs.

Come for the angsty rap parodies and stay for the warm and tender rhapsodies.

I really wish I could make up my mind and chose a favorite 60s Dylan album. The 60s is my favorite Dylan decade. I can say that with certainty. Bringing It All Back Home is an essential album. From the cover of the poet turned messiah with papers, magazines and the lady in red sprawled about his apartment to the final haunting track. I could do what others do on this website and write out what I think track by track but nobody cares. Fun fact: I believe this is the last Dylan album where he shares his dreams with us. Why? Well, this album was released in April of 65. In July of 65 Dylan went electric at the Newport folk festival and became Judas. From that point on Bob Dylan had no dreams, only nightmares....

Never been a huge fan of Dylan, but this record is solid. I can see the appeal.

Eden

está bueno, no me voló la cabeza. me llamaron la atención pocos temas que no sé si volveré a escuchar. en líneas generales bastante promedio, no me parece malo. muy de sus vibras igual, muy tranqui, crudo, con armónicas, las letras medio fraseadas en vez de ser melódicas. ‘65

Excellent

Couple good songs on here and a couple of classics which save it from a 2, going with a 3

This is absolute center lane Dylan in my mind, and probably his best album to my tastes. It's Alright Ma She Belongs to Me, and Maggie's Farm are personal favorites, not to even mention the hits like Subterranean, Tambourine Man, And Baby Blue.

One of the best openers ever with "Subterranean Homesick Blues"....I love "Maggie's Farm" too, which almost feels like the same song. This is a really good mix of the beat poet influenced, silly caricature of early Dylan and some really nice, simple melodic songs "She Belongs to Me", "Mr. Tambourine Man", etc. If I was trying to get someone into Bob Dylan, I might start here...really torn between 4 and 5 so I am going 4.5 stars but I'll round down because I'm sure my favorite Dylan album is coming later.

I enjoyed the music but the album is defiantly a bit outdated socially. And the story telling songs not lyrically written songs if you know what I mean didnt really hit for me as much. Though his voice is really good and I still enjoyed listening

good but not my style of music, 3.5/5

Definitely think I enjoy other Bob Dylan music more.

I really enjoyed listening to such classics. And to hear lyrics that are as pertinent today as ever.

Igual que Time Out Of Mind, no es mi tipo de música. Volvería a escucharlo algún día. Este me gustó menos.

Blob Dylan brings it all back home

Don't get the glazing on this album, I mean it's alright Fave track: Mr Tambourine Man

It’s the kind of album where Dylan’s voice and the harmonica wear a bit thin by the end. 3/5

a couple of good bits

되게 미국스럽다 약간 시골 느낌 별루네요...

Favorite Tracks: Subterranean Homesick Blues / Maggie's Farm / Outlaw Blues / It's Alright, Ma Rating: 4.3 Good timing for this one, I just watched the fairly recent biopic "A Complete Unknown" which spent a lot of time on this era of Dylan's transition from traditional folk. Funny to listen to this 60 years later with some understanding of how controversial this was at the time! I used to make fun of Dylan's singing voice -- and probably still will lol -- but I really dig this album.

Not for me

Classic Bob, I'm here for it.

Jake bugg walked so Bob Dylan could run. In all honesty I was impressed with this. I am not that exposed to Bob Dylan’s work, but I think this was a great gateway to listen to more of his work. I think the story telling was clever, his voice was interesting and engaging and the sound, not strictly my usual thing, actually surprised me and thought it paired so well with his voice. Really impressive record well done Bob x

Big fan of this, thought it was great. Loads of great tunes, funny and interesting lyrics and feels like a tight 45 minutes. I liked the mix of full band and acoustic songs too.

classic iconic

Not my aestethics, simple as that. I'm in general not too fond of the sixties, especially the folk music (although I like bands like The Velvet Underground or The Electric Prunes). I think that it's due to production capabilities, but a lot of folk music sounds metalic, scratchy and sharp (not in a good way), it kind of hurts my ears and annoys me. You have to give it to Dylan that as a songwriter he's one of the best in the business, for that alone he deserves massive respect. But I don't really like his vocal much, same goes for the music (harmonica + acoustic guitar in his hands aren't too pleasing to me). There is a couple of songs that I actually enjoyed in a way, but in general it's not an album I will come back to.

Pleasantly surprised at liking this. Bob still not my fave but the lyrics are great

Good early Dylan. Surrealist, scene jumbled over guitar.

I have an odd relationship with Bob, my head acknowledges that he is a supreme songwriter but my heart never seems to care, and so I feel less enthused about him than other singer-songwriters and, as my level of fandom is a lot less than the global population, it seems as if I don’t like him. Having said that I seem to inexplicably have picked up lots of his albums. Such is the power of Bob. This is great “its all right now ma” is fantastic, I have scored it highly. But my heart is still not satisfied. I imagine the generator will give me a fair few more of his to help me get to the bottom of my reaction.

Fuck you bob dylan

Not a fan of his voice. It makes it hard to listen do his stuff. I know I'm in the minority here.

Unless you hate Bob Dylan for whatever reason you choose, this album is undeniably one of his great ones. His refusal to conform to the "folk music" rules is in full display as half of the album is with an electric full band, the lyrics start becoming more personal, poetic, and cryptic, and less protest-based. This is filled with absolute classics.

Well this is definitely better than both The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan and Blonde On Blonde. Still not that much better though.

I do like Bob Dylan, his voice doesn't annoy me as much as genpop. I appreciate the history behind it all, too. I don't want to listen to him all day but I can take an album and I can even enjoy it!

8/10 29.01.2026

What an amazing gift for my 100th album! Yes, I’m a Big Dylan fan so I’m biased but this kicks off the three run of albums that is the greatest run of any artist in pop music. From the first whistle of Subterranean to the final note of its all over baby blue, music would never be the same.

Undeniably one of the greatest rock records from the 60’s, its influence is felt far and wide. Many folk rockers were inspired by the lyrical diversity and electric playing.

I still steuggle to say which Dylan album I like best so far, this one was new but did nog disappoint at all. I was very charmed by the 115 th dream and the first song. I somewhat prefer the acoustic songs.

It’s incredible that this can be the fourth or fifth best Dylan album and still be this good. It has all-time great songs like Subterranean Homesick Blues and Maggie’s Farm.

Dylan goes electric. Fantastic album, some of his best songs on here. There are a couple tracks I thought were just ok, the blues ones, but enjoyed more this time. Some of the greatest songs ever written on this! 4.5 rounded up Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes 47/182 (25%) Will I get: Have several

Urgggh. I am so sick of getting this over rated muppet. As always, I’ll give it a fair listen but not expecting to be surprised - forced rhymes, the same song 13 different ways and a smug self aggrandising throughout is expected… …tbf, I do seem to much prefer the electric approach for the opening 3 tracks, at least. Songs seem slightly more appealing and engaging. However, still done by the end of the 3rd track. And that damn voice 😩 Naturally, he has a track named after himself. What a prick. Glad to be one step closer to getting no more of his albums on this list.

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

Bob Dylan is not for me...

I generally prefer acoustic Dylan over electric Dylan but this, where he's transitioning between the two, has him at the very height of his creative powers. It's an astonishing set, full of groovy blues, cryptic ballads, psychedelic comedy and forceful protests.

Great !

melancholy

So relaxed in the studio!

It was fine

The fact that the previous album, Green Day, was rated higher than this overall is a disgrace to humanity and everything good and holy on God's green earth.

Heard Before? Only in passing. Notes: - make no mistake. this is a LYRICS ALBUM. thankfully it's endlessly quotable with dizzying variety in theme and content. - the same cannot be said of the music. very repetitive, with very few ideas stretched very far. - the hype over Dylan "going electric" is meaningless, especially now. the band simply chugs away, mashed at the back of the mix, just like the acoustic guitar does in the "folk" numbers. - harsh noise harmonica stabs. love them? hate them? there sure are a lot of them. Verdict: So many words, so many words. Belligerent, grating and glorious. Listen Again? Maybe. I have a feeling this list will put me through a lot more Dylan before I'm done.

Always heard tons of old people hype up Bob Dylan and can understand it. Good storyteller and voice is pure. Mr. Tambourine Man is a banger. Some of the songs are kinda forgettable and his voice kinda drones a bit at times but has charm to it

First one was rather nice Second one was fine Third one eeeeh not so much Fourth one is niceeeee! He is such a good lyricist ugh Fifth one is just racist Sixth one no. Same for the seventh Nice Nice nice Nice Overall he is good but i dont think he is for me

Piuttosto buono, da spenderci un po' più di tempo per apprezzare meglio i testi, ma diamo 4 sulla fiducia

This was surprising for me. I’ve never been the biggest Dylan fan, but I enjoyed this album. 4/5

No, thank you. Boring. Stand-outs - Outlaw Blues - It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)

I was expecting to loathe this one and was dreading listening to it. I’ve heard a few Bob songs and his voice had always been irritating to me. That being said, I enjoyed this album. His storytelling is unlike any I’ve ever heard. It’s not my usual cup of tea, but you can’t deny that this guy knows how to tell a story.

#249/1001. Ok, this is the one where Dylan goes electric, purist fans boo and sales skyrocket. I wonder how long would he have survived on the surface of popular music as a man+acoustic guitar combo. Rolling Dylan gathers no dust though. Somehow the "electric" or rock and roll backing which by modern standards sounds quite...acoustic? And his sound and voice is probably most commercial, even radio friendly so far and perhaps ever since (my Dylan knowledge is fairly liniged though). I am sure his voice divides people motmre tahan wheather there is an electric guitar in the band or not. And perhaps the harmonica. But I wouldn't call him an anarchist based on this album, even less give the anarchist a cigarette. But songs are great and a new chapter in folk begun. Also Subterranean homesick blues and its video are both classics. Perhaps the whole album. Still, I don't have any personal affection towards the music, no need to come back to it. But I don't hate it either, sorry to say this comes down to an average 3.

The electric stuff's not quite as good as on later albums like highway 61 and blonde on blonde, still great though, but the acoustic side as perfect

Pretty mid, sometimes great sometimes annoying.

Det er Bob Dylan, det er ikke rigtigt mig.

Very good.

Je n'écoute jamais de country habituellement, mais cette album est tombé un dimanche matin ou je voulais chiller, donc le contexte à grandement influencé sur mon écoute

1. 5 2. 4.5 3. 4 4. 4 5. 4 6. 5 7. 5 8. 5 9. 4 10. 4 11. 5

2.5/5 While I haven't heard alot of Bob Dylan's music I do like this album. Tambourine man is the stand out track and it's a good album but nothing too amazing.

véio chato, puta merda

07

Nice folk

Seminal

Good album. Couple of songs I didn't like.

Pivotal

9/10 Favorites: Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream Mr. Tambourine Man It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue

solidno i zabavno, brzo proleti, ali nije mi bilo ništa posebno, niti sam baš neku pjesmu zapamtio da je bila jako jako dobra... tako da trojčica

Retro

4/5 + Rock and roll Bob Dylan is great + Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan Fav: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Mr Tambourine Man, It's Alright Ma

Not for me.

Im not a fan not a follower of Dylan. Hate his voice, his demeanor altough I really enjoy his lyrics when I can sit down and listen to them. Amazing storytelling. I do appreciate his legacy and his niche of folk rock and understand his importance as a musician and his controbutions. That being said, For the first time I actually enjoyed his music (other than the known songs) and this album os a little more popish and easy to understand so I loved it and think its his best yet. I would have never believed Id ever give a Dylan album 4 starts let alone 5 well deserved ones

Bring this album home. You’ll love it. Trust me.

There are more than a few songs on here where I’m truly questioning if Dylan’s vocal performance is supposed to be a joke. The album is listenable, and I’m sure has its audience, but that audience isn’t me.

I think it's a good album and I do recognize it's relevance, however, when it comes to Bob Dylan I cannot like all of his songs and maybe that's because it's so specific Possibly because I need to be in a specific mood. Either way I think for me personally there are better Dylan albums, however this one is also good and the only issue is that I find it a little bit repetitive. Either way he was a legend.

Eu adoro it’s all over now baby blue, mas de resto é difícil ignorar que a qualquer momento ele pode cantar precaverrrr precaverrrr 🐐🐐🐐🐐

I like Dylan at his most melodic and folky - the twanginess I find grating

Not a huge Dylan fan, but this album is classically great.

Its alright i just dont see the appreciation people were doing this better and before Dylan its just overrated but I did enjoy Maggie's farm its gotta a good rythem and its got a pretty decent chord progresssion

Fantastic record. I want to remember how Bob Dylan's 115th Dream made me smile wide as I reached the Amstel river while walking and listening to the record.

had a really good time!! more upbeat than the other bob dylan album i got, these songs sound more distinct from each other lol.

Yeah it’s Bob Dylan alright.

Need to reconsider this as a potential candidate for my favorite dylan album

harmonica, country, quick witted, beautiful

not my music type but liked it

Subterrenean homesick blues: lekker mondharminocaatje She belongs to me: niet helemaal mijn ding . Maggie's farm: hahaha wel beter. Love minus 0: meh Outlaw blues: wel leuk, maar gewoon een blues nummer On the road again: leuke mondharmonica. Bob dylans 115th dream Meh album 3 sterren.

-1 for ear piercing harmonica

p75. 1965. 4 stars. So this is what all the fuss is about. Lyrically light years ahead of the competition, and packed with great tunes. Point deducted for some of the tracks outstaying their welcome, and for his nasal whine. Note that his songs always sound better when covered by other artists who can sing.

люблю) не знаю чи буду прям слухать реально, но мені подобається, особливо пісні як subterranean homesick blues , she belongs to me і mr . tambourine man. слухаючи цей альбом, відчуваю ся пацанчика в north dakota який займається конями із соломінкою в роті)

8.5/10

One of the great albums of all time, both in terms of influence and just plain great songwriting and performing.

Finalmente ouvi um álbum do Bob Dylan e já estava à espera de gostar. Subterranean Homesick Blues (primeira música) marca o ritmo de um álbum com musicas curtas de 2/3 minutos e musicas mais longas 6/7 minutos. Todas elas boas. Destaque também para: Love Minus Zero, Outlaw Blues, Mr Tambourine Man e It's All Over Now, Baby Blue que é a faixa que acaba o álbum e acaba da melhor maneira.

first bob dylan album I've ever heard, not too bad. Don't really have much to say about I just think its a decent album

idk

I appreciate a lot of Bob Dylan’s most popular songs and heard 1 or 2 of his albums, but I wasn’t familiar with this one. Since I had already listened to Highway 61 Revisited before, the presence of electric tracks weren’t really a surprise to me but great anyway. The thing to me is that even though his most brilliant and interesting work is centered around the folksy music and storytelling, at times it does really get annoying to listen to his nasal voice for 40-60 minutes straight when there’s not really anything huge happening in the background music but when that magnificent narrative is aligned with some interesting production it’s the perfect combo. Standout tracks to me were Subterranean Homesick Blues, Outlaw Blues and On the Road Again.

Great album honesty. I didn’t think (and maybe still don’t) that rock & roll was really my thing. Like, I probably won’t listen to this while I ride the bus or something, because the songs don’t have enough variation (like ups and downs if that makes sense) in them. But this is definitely something I’d buy on Vinyl. Like, reading or studying to this or dancing around would be really cool.

i love this album

Not 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...

Послушал не без удовольствия и заключительная вещь хороша.

You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

One of Bob's many innovative albums transitioning the world into the rock era. Not my usual genre but definitely worth the listen. Favourite Song: Subterranean Homesick Blues

Great backing music but singing a bit talky and not incredible Would probably listen though

i quite enjoyed it, some good songs and some alright songs

chill good album vocals a little tired but overall good

4 stars - 5 stars for the importance and 3.5 stars for the music, This is really good Dylan, just not the absolute best (see Freewheelin, Highway 61, and Blonde on Blonde). However, this broke ground in folk rock. I like Side 2 better.with the folk songs. Best songs: Mr. Tambourine Man, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm. Listened to a mono LP from the Dylan Mono Recordings vinyl box.

This album is a great example of what I think of as classic Bob Dylan lyrics: equal parts wisdom and nonsense. On a lot of these songs, he moves at a 100 miles an hour, tossing out references to pop culture, literature, history, and politics. It feels impossible to hear all of it in any one listen, but you catch what you can, roll it around in your mind, and see if it makes any sense. Sometimes his jokes land like a sucker punch. Other times you go, "Huh?" And sometimes, a dream logic takes over, and you smile without entirely knowing why. "Maggie's Farm" and "On the Road Again" are the two I have the most fun with. The lyrics are packed with one-liners. On "Maggie's Farm," the subject of his mockery is relatively straightforward: authority. The cartoonish characters bossing him around on the farm represent employers, government, and religion, but there's no one neat metaphor. "On the Road Again" is a little less clear about its target, but I get the impression it's more of a social criticism. I know that feeling of being in someone else's house or car and thinking, "This is how you live? This is what you believe in?" And then you can really dive into the deep end with "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream." This one seems to be about history and politics and society, but it's filled with so much dream imagery and so many silly lines that you can never fully wrap your hands around what it's about. But, in a kind of way, I think that's political too. Do you ever look around at what's going on in the world and go, "Huh? How does that make any sense?" I think that's the feeling Dylan is trying to capture. This is actually an interesting hybrid album. The first half is mostly rock and blues, but the second half is acoustic folk. I’ve seen this album described as Dylan at a crossroads in his style, but it’s interesting to hear the sound divided so clearly between Side A and Side B.

Nice Bob Dylan record! I really like the energy of this one, there's almost an undertone of happiness in these songs or at least the ones that I enjoy more, like "Mr. Tambourine Man", and "It's All Over, Baby Blue". I don't know if it's maybe the mixture of the chord strumming with the major keys, but there's a little hint of Bob being happy while performing these, and I dig that. Still I'd say it's a 4/5 for me, leaning towards a 3. He's one of the best songwriters ever, but this isn't particularly one of his best records. I find the lyrics a bit hard to follow on this release, and that's usually one of the facets that I look forward to when listening to him.

I’m a Dylan guy and this my favorite Dylan album. 5 Stars

Everyone always goes to highway 61 for the immediate dylan goes electric, but I suppose this album is a nice precursor that he was already experimenting with more blues and rock sounds? A great album regardless even if not every track hits as hard as what I consider to be his true classics.

I had a Dutch girlfriend back in the 90's who was obsessed with Bob Dylan and I didn't get it. He does write some good songs but still don't care for his voice. This is a fun album with some good songs, but still Bob's voice.

Better than the other one. Still not a huge bob Dylan fan. Subterranean homesick blues and it’s all over now baby blue are my standouts.

This was actually pretty great. I went in expecting homework and walked out enjoying the ride. The lyrics are dense, but they reward you for paying attention. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Subterranean Homesick Blues - Maggie's Farm - Mr. Tambourine Man - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Bob. Legend. Still.

Eventually I'm sure I'll learn to appreciate Bob Dylan a bit more but it's an arduous process and while I like the odd track, a full album is a tough ask to actually enjoy. Apart from the obvious tracks like say 'Maggie's Farm' and 'Mr. Tambourine Man', 'Bob Dylan's 115th Dream' gets a nod this time round.

Some great songs very catchy

Love the blues songs and like the folk songs. Meandering overlong sometimes, but felt more approachable and catchy than Highway 61 Revisited.

I actually liked this album more than the first one. I don't know what was different, maybe I was just more into the vibe this time? In the right headspace? Also, I think I'm gonna still rate this 3 stars, but I wish I could do half stars, bc I'd actually give it a 3.5 if I could.

Classic!

Brilliant

Should listen to more of him!

Classic, I've heard this album of this is the first time i've listen to it in one sitting. I like the electric bobby. I forgot Outlaw Blues was on here and remembered that there's a timothee chalamet rendition of outlaw blues that is fantastic. You can find it on Youtube. Anyway, love it.

So good, electric bob dylan in his best form. So innovative yet still has that incredible bob dylan style writing

This one is just not for me.

It's not my genre...

Bob Dylan. Rien à redire.

I can't say I have ever listened to Bob Dylan on purpose. I like plenty of covers of his songs. Let's see how this goes... track 1 - nothing like what I would assume a bob dylan song sounds like track 2 - this is more of what I expected track 3 - only know the RATM cover of "Maggie's Farm" track 4 - this is what I assumed every dylan song sounds like track 5 - this is a wonderful change of pace. I am quickly getting annoyed with his voice when left with just an acoustic guitar and harmonica to support it. track 6 - these lyrics are rough. . . Mr. Tambourine Man is the only song (not covered) I knew on this record...and I don't like it. track 10 - maybe ole bob-o is wearing me down, but this song ain't so bad track 11 - more strained nasal vocals...at least it's over now I read through some other reviews, and while I can't say I share the same vitriol, I do find them funny - "less offensive lyrics are still sung by Bob Dylan, who as ever sounds like a kazoo being played into a barrel of oil." "his voice is so fucking annoying that it makes me pro-Vietnam purely out of spite." I feel bad giving this a 2, but a 3 seems too high. I know I am missing the point, and I must not have any taste, but so be it.

Enough Bob D for awhile, thanks.

More of this guy?

Legendary. Classic.

Love this. Love bob Dylan

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

Maybe one day I’ll get it… but today is just not that day

ok but his later stuff is better i think

There's a lot to like about this album. The songs did blend together after a while, but the lyrics made up for it.

It's a perfectly good Dylan album, but not the best folk I've heard. I know there's gonna be more Dylan on this list, which gets old real fast.

Wholesome album, reminds me of my grandparents for some reason. I found some songs repetitive and annoying but particularly enjoyed outlaw blues

Not really my thing, felt like a good old american cowboy, not bad tho Yeah, bob dylan was definitely not made for me, feels like plain chicken with rice

Really not for me. All songs sounded the same and I couldn’t bring myself to listen to more than two songs

not my cup of tea

okay

Nasal vocals and sounds very American. It's very calm and honestly a bit depressing

no me gustan los instrumentos que usan, es muy country para mi gusto. la canción que mas me gusta es mr tambourine man

What more can I write about an Artist and his album that hasn't already been said? Dylan is still relevant and his music stays relevant forever.

Actually enjoyed despite his voice, but the harmonica at the end...

ainda não foi dessa vez (e espero que esse tenha sido o último pelo amor de deus) mas talvez o menos pior dele até aqui?

foi BEM menos pior do que achei que seria. a 1ª parte do album, com guitarra elétrica, é bem boa, até e eu até curto mr tamborine man, na real. continua bob dylan e eu acho o highway 61 revisited melhor, mas esse eh bom tbm, me pegou num bom dia. é o penúltimo dele da lista, fica faltando um AO VIVO dele só. então cravo aqui: bob dylan não é ruim, só é chatim pra carai. esse aqui e o highway 61 dá de ouvir, se for preciso. de resto, deixo pra quem gosta e curte gaita.

Dylan always does it for me. Take it away Bob!!

Change of direction for Dylan and the start of his second phase of great song writing

His voice of course is unmistakable, and the melodies are so unique. The instrumentals are doing so much, but the melody somehow fits right in. Something tells me that he isn't going to work on Maggie's farm anymore. Folky, rocky, bluesy, country; somewhere in the middle there. Either way it's fun, and a cool dense mix of genres but still consistent. Started to fall flat for me by the time it got to Gates of Eden. It's too much of a turn for an almost 6 minute song that doesn't keep my interest. The a-side of this album was so big and dense and it just wasn't able to keep that up. But then It's Alright Ma does that same thing, for an even longer song, and nails it. It's so catchy, and demands my ear. It's lyrically impressive and poignant. And in the end, it sticks the landing. I enjoyed this album much. 3.8/5

Overall rating by me: 7,5/10 Songs added to the playlist: ,,Subterranean Homesick Blues", ,,Outlaw Blues", ,,It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding" Notes: Makes me feel like I travelled in time and I'm currently sitting in the 70's in some obscure wild west themed tavern. Definitely will play the whole album on a road trip one day.

I've already listened to this album before, but just once, and I didn't remember much from it. This is Dylan's first album where he makes the switch from acoustic guitar (as seen on his previous albums) to electric guitar. Personally, I like Dylan's music much more on those first few albums where it's just acoustic, but that's a personal preference. That being said, the album is still quite good - the first half is basically the new electric sound, while the second half contains acoustic songs. The electric songs are nice and memorable (Subterranean Homesick Blues, She Belongs to Me, Maggie's Farm), but I enjoyed the electric songs on the following album (Highway 61 Revisited) more. The standout track of the album to me is the most popular song on the album, named Mr. Tambourine Man (another acoustic song). Overall, even though I do like Bob Dylan, I've seen people rave about it, but it's not as spectacular as some describe it. Solid album, but certainly not my favorite of his. Maybe, if I'd revisit it some time later, I'd enjoy it more. But right now, I'd give it a nice 7.5 / 10.

good

Tambourine man is a classic. Overall great album.

I’m still not a Dylan fan, but I’ll give this one a pass. It’s far less rambly than a lot of his other stuff. Honestly the songwriting is solid. Why can’t he let people sing it who are, I dunno, good at singing?

This one had a lottttt of rambling. I don't mind a little here and there, but this was honestly too much. Reign it in Dylan

# Album Name: Bringing It All Back Home # Artist: Bob Dylan # Rating: 4/5 # Comments: Nice country/rock/ blues feel to the album. Typical dylan though. # Top Tunes: homesick blues / Maggie’s farm / outlaw blues # Would I listen to it again? Yes

It's a good album. But I definitely won't be looking for it to add to my collection.

Не знаю що вже і писати про Ділана.

Ultimate Quirky bob Dylan. Love the lyricism especially on “on the road again”

me cambie de pieza

If I listened to it again I feel like I would end up liking it more but on my first listen I really enjoy “subterranean homesick blues” “outlaw blues” “gates of Eden” and “it’s alright, ma”. A very solid album.

Really enjoyed listening to this album

When it's good it's near great, but never quite makes it to overall greatness. Much prefer The Byrds Tambourine Man. Subterreanean, It's Alright Ma, and Baby Blue standouts. Trends closer to 3.5

5/10 (didn’t give it my full attention, so score will probably go up after a re-listen)

This was one of my favourite Dylan albums in my teenage years when I was first getting into his music, and now a decade later I still think it's one of his best. Music-wise this strikes a near-perfect balance between Dylan's early folk songs and his later electric era with songs like "She Belongs To Me" and "Love Minus Zero" flawlessly blending electric instrumentation with Dylan's still heavily folk-inspired songwriting. Then you have songs like "115th Dream", "Outlaw Blues" and "Maggie's Farm" which are these loose and wild bluesy folk rock tracks that just feel alive in a way few other songs manage to pull off. Finally you have the second half of the album with "Mr. Tambourine Man", "It's All Over Baby Blue", "Gates Of Eden" and most notably "It's All Right Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" which all are in my opinion among the best songs from his folk era. Lyrically this is at least in my view the album where Dylan grew into himself. Songs like "It's All Over Ma", "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" rightfully rank as some of his best writing, while "She Belongs To Me" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" are two of my personal favourites of his, both lyrically and musically. While Dylan would keep improving as both a songwriter and a lyricist on later records like "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde On Blonde", this, at least to me, out of all of his albums is the most quintessentially Bob Dylan. It straddles both his folk and electric periods and captures him both in his creative peak and at a turning point in his artistic journey. If I had to choose one album from Dylan's discography that most represents him and his whole career as a musician and artist, I think this might be it. Either this, "Blood On The Tracks" or "Blonde on Blonde". In any case, it's one of his best, one of the best albums of the 60's and one of my favourite albums of all time. 5/5

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'm not keen on most songs. I like subterranean homesick blues.

Pretty good classic album

I think I like electric Dylan more than acoustic Dylan, and this album has a mix of both. I can appreciate that this is a great folk/blues/rock album but it's not something I want to listen to all the time. Subterranean Homesick Blues and Outlaw Blues were my favourites on first listen.

Just kinda boring to me. Really disapointing to me

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.

Love Bob Dylan’s vibes and his raggedy ahh voice

His voice is annoying

Du Bon Dylan comme on l'imagine. Très bien !

One of my very favorites from Dylan.

Kann man schon entspannt nebenbei hören, aber es macht emotional absolut nichts mit mir.

Kann ich mir durchaus gut anhören, macht dabei aber auch wenig mit mir. Der weirde Beginn von "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" sticht (negativ) heraus, ansonsten rödelt Dylan halt so vor sich hin - auf solidem Niveau.

Das Dylan-Album, was mir in Summe immer am besten gefallen hat und auch das einzige, was ich im Schrank stehen habe. Muss aber zugeben, dass ich hier doch eher zur akustischen zweiten Seite tendiere und die erste abgesehen von den Hits nicht sooo viel gehört habe. Probs aber für die surreale Lyrik im "115th Dream". Tolle Platte, muss irgendwann bei ihm nochmal tiefer einsteigen.

Ohne die Titel je aktiv gehört zu haben, kannte ich mindestens die Hälfte. Fügt sich sehr gut ins gesamte Album ein. Knaller. Randbemerkung: Das Cover von Maggies Farm von RATM ist so fett.

Ist nicht schlecht, aber mal wieder so ein Phänomen von: Mal ein einzelner: Top. Ganzes Album am Stück: Flop. Gemessen an der damaligen Zeit aber komplett vertretbar.

Schönes Album, grad für die Zeit. Die erste Hälfte gefällt mir etwas besser, aber alles in allem solide

Okay, after a relisten I do definitely get the appeal now! His lyric-writing is pretty great all around in here. Admittedly this genre still isn't my thing and the only song I really particularly vibed with was Bob Dylan's 115th Dream on account of it being very amusing, buuuut this is probably close to the best of this style for me!

Our first Bob Dylan album of the challenge (nearly 1/4 of the way through!) and it's a great one. I hadn't heard this one before besides the opener, Subterranean Homesick Blues, but as Dylan's first electric album it absolutely shows off his songwriting chops even with this evolved sound. Songs like Outlaw Blues, Mr. Tambourine Man, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, and especially the 7-minute It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) are yet more entries into the pantheon of my favourite Bob Dylan tunes.

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.

I find dense folk albums to be quite challenging listens when they come up, as they demand my full attention to really keep up with them, on top of having a sound I don't much care for. Nevertheless, Bob Dylan is an important figure, so I decided to give his album a fairer shot than I usually would, and found the experience way more enjoyable than I imagined. There are some beautiful melodies on here! I loved him straight up rapping with a great flow on track 1! Also a big fan of the crazy shit going on in Bob Dylan's 115th Dream! Admittedly the album's longer tracks on the back half kind of lost me as they dragged on far more than I liked (even Mr. Tambourine Man, as catchy as it is). The closer totally saves it from being a dud, however. Good album! Standouts: Subterranean Homesick Blues • She Belongs to Me • On the Road Again • Bob Dylan's 115th Dream • It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

Great album but not as magical as his next work, Highway 61. That is where he perfects everything he does here. However, this album is bolstered by having Subterranean Homesick Blues and It's Alright, Ma on it. Even the throwaway songs are pretty good, but I do feel the length on this one a bit.

No. 56 I can’t really stand Bob Dylan, but even I can admit this is a pretty great record.

My favourite of the Bob Dylan albums so far. Great songs.

It make me smile.

I didn’t mind it - except the first one… idk felt a bit to country… Liked best: (initial impression) - love minus zero - outlaw blues - all over now baby blue Overall I’d probably give a 5/10. Average album for me at first impression. Had some songs I liked but most I just probably won’t listen to again.

I thought I didn’t like anything from Bob Dylan. I found myself kind of liking this album because he wasn’t doing that stupid voice he does that made me not like him in the first place.

I’m not really a huge Bob Dylan fan (i think he’s an incredible lyricist and i like a few songs, i just don’t listen to him that often) so i was surprised by how much i enjoyed this, Subterranean Homesick Blues is so good, I also love She Belongs to Me that’s probably the one i’ll listen to the most going forward, It’s Alright Ma I’m Only Bleeding has 10/10 lyrics

I loved Bob Dylan when I was 12 and was I listening to my Mums records. She had three Bob Dylan albums and this was my favourite one. It still is my favourite Bob Dylan album - although I have not really listened to Bob much since I was 13. Subterranean Homesick Blues is a banger and I can still nearly remember all the words. I should listen to more Bob Dylan.

His rocky, blues half better than his folky half. He did well to move in that direction ahead of the curve.

71/1001 Not a big Dylan fan but enjoy the hits. Another artist I’d probably enjoy more if I paid attention to the lyrics. I’ll come back to this one day. 5/10

A little more sense of humor than Bob's other albums.

Leans more on Dylan's country/twangy side, which isn't my favorite. Includes the iconic Mr. Tambourine Man and Maggie's Farm.

This is overall a solid album. It's cozy, charming and I definitely love me a good harmonica. That said, almost all of the songs felt and sounded the same- which isn't a problem if you like folk, but unfortunately it's not really my cup of tea. Notable favorites: Mr. Tambourine Man, Gates Of Eden Would I be opposite if this album came on? Absolutely not. Would I go out of my way to listen to it again? Probably not.

annoying background sounds! not all too bad but just not my thing. Think it would be fun if you knew all the lyrics or something . for now, annoying.

#teamjoanbaez well still lets give it a go very yeehaw vibes appearently mr. tambourine man is famous ı am not digging rn tbh (not a huge fan of bobbie anyway)

60s folk rock. Subterranean Homesick Blues in Europe. More electric than his previous work. Nice folk album.

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

love minus zero was my fav!!

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

weak opening, cool lyricism. 6.5/10

Am I in the Cuntry? This is what the covey sang in district 12. Very fun I like it. Is this guy still alive? I think he's dead right. Ooh I like Bob Dylan's 115th Dream. This harmonica is lowkey hurting my ears no shade. Ok I can't with the harmonica. Tea. Very country very cool album I'm so cool now. A cool experience but I'm not sure if I would relisten. I liked the first half much better.

Engaging album, easy and enjoyable to listen to. Lyrics were well written and didn't rely on catchy hooks. Simple but pleasant instrumentals paired perfectly with the storytelling nature of the record.

Some decent tracks on here, I do like early Dylan, never seen him live though

qualcuno gli togli quell’armonica dalle mani

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

Dylan er overvurdert. Helt ok bakgrunnsstøy

I really enjoyed this album actually. Better than previous Dylan albums I listened to

First listen

It's an album that never goes out of style. Bob Dylan's stringed instruments awaken something in me.

Peak

Lyrics are incredible, not Bob’s best though! Top 3 Songs: 1. Outlaw Blues 2. Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream 3. Love Minus Zero

Top 3 favorite songs - 1. Subterranean homesick blues (shout out Radiohead for knowing ball) 2. Mr. Tambourine Man 3. Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream

(2.7) I’m not sure if it’s his voice or just the overall sound of his music but I don’t think I’m a big Bob Dylan guy. Although, I actually liked a couple more songs than I thought I was going to

Not my style, will need to listen again a bit later.

J'aime bien certaines chansons de bob dylan, mais j'ai l'impression qu'elles se ressemblent beaucoup vu que c'est le même style tout le temps...

così presto non me l’aspettavo il prepotente ritorno della chitarra jingle-jangle e della voce nasale. lontano dall’essere tra i miei dylan preferiti.

Lovely folk album.

Imagine being a folk fan, and buying Bob Dylan's new record in 1965, expecting the poignant lyrics and acoustic sound of Freewheelin' or The Times are a-Changing, only to be accosted by the harsh nonsense of Subterranean Homesick Blues. In '65, Dylan opened the folk genre up to a completely new world, with electric guitars and organs, and absurd lyrics to reflect the absurd times. Despite what some may think, Dylan never abandoned the poignancy of his acoustic era, as it's on this album that he has his most important lyrics of the time. Songs about war, love (and lack thereof), and his own fans. The songs on this album are the most timeless of his career, and his simple approach to structure lends itself to so much reinterpretation. Every listen to this album is a treat. Standout Tracks: It's All Over Now Baby Blue, She Belongs to Me, It's Alright Ma

Better than Coldplay

Not a big country but this is alrighty

Subterranean homesick blues - very country/blues style - not my typical genre that I listen to She belongs to me - a lot more calmer - I found the lyrics repeating quite interesting Maggies farm - I feel like the problem I have with folk music is that it all ends up sounding similar to me - the tunes are catchy though Love minus zero - I like this one more so than the others so far - I found the syncopation between the background instruments and vocals quite interesting to listen to Outlaw blues - more upbeat - I think all of the songs so far feature the harmonica. What significance does it have in folk music in America? On the road again - another one I really liked Bob Dylan’s 115th dream - I really liked the beginning - very fun Mr tambourine man - my favourite one so far - feels like a hug Gates of Eden - i feel like the lyrics to this one might be interesting It’s alright ma (I’m only bleeding) - lyrical masterpiece - the music is truly the background It’s all over now baby blue - I liked this one - nice one to end album off with Overall - out of my comfort zone genre but it was enjoyable and interesting and I did find some that I enjoyed

might be a bit too country for me ngl and overstimulating but bob dylan is the goat i dont think i would re listen though

Not my favourite, his voice is too distracting for me, but the first 2 songs and the final track really got my attention

I still don't like his voice. This is fun overall tho. Feels a lot more "rock" than his other stuff. Not bad. Actual 2.5. Liked Songs: "Subterranean Homesick Blues" , "Love Minus Zero" , "Outlaw Blues" , "On the Road Again" , "Mr. Tambourine Man" , "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

Dylan's vocals are so grating on this album. Not good. 2

Not for me.

Really amazing album. So eccentric and inventive and interesting and fun!

Previously heard 03/2018 and 12/2020. Classic Bob album. Not the best but one of his best.

This is a great album, but there’s a lot of stuff that’s not cool about his album. There’s a lot of things that don’t really fit in my idea of a Bob Dylan album or Bob Dylan songs. The laughing producer, recording engineer on that one track with a false start, I don’t think there’s anything like that on any other Bob Dylan song Even a bootleg that I can think of. I’m so focused on 1997 and on Bob Dylan in various periods before that, that I don’t readily identify with this Dillon album as being pretty close to what most people think of when they hear Bob Dylan. To me this sounds very much still like a folk album with some Electric interesting instrumentations. Lyrically though it’s not really Woody Guthrie inspired, but it’s also not later hounded and focused literary Dillon. Some of the phrases just aren’t really that good. I like the song like on the road again, but it seems pretty off the cuff I’m more playful and improvisational than some carefully studied poet tree. I say that because I wonder if Bob Dylan writing it at the time would’ve considered that people 60 years later would be listening to it. Listening to the album now it’s easier to see that it’s a subversion of normal blues and folk tropes. I think the hundred times I listen to it before I never really connected with that, it just sounded like Bob Dylan.

Some real classics

Will he ever stop playing that fucking harmonica? 2/5

I do not like Bob Dylan get him away from me

It was definitely something new for my music teast but I really enjoyed

If this were just Mr Tambourine Man ten times in a row this would still be a 5 star album.

Hadn’t previously listened to this all the way through, but wow! Iconic and truly exceptional.

“Well I try my best to be just like I am. But everybody wants you to be just like them.” I love this moment in Bobology, when he was just about ready to tell the folk movement to suck it. It could have been a moment of pure, self-destructive narcissism. But turned out, singing about himself (often), from his heart (usually?), was fucking great material. I love that there’s literally a side A for axe-cutting blues rock, and a side B for the haters, with some of his best folk songs of all time (Tambourine Man, Baby Blue). Top 3 Dylan album, possibly #1.

Bob dylan again? Why? Where's the variety

like it 6/10

Me pasa que de Dylan solo aprecio los temas míticos y muy pocos discos enteros no me aburren. Me gustan “Blonde On Blonde”, “Blood On The Tracks” y “Nashville Skyline”, aunque he de reconocer que me faltan por escuchar. El problema es que no apetece. De este álbum rescató la imprescindible “Mr.Tambourine Man” y “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue”. El resto, entiendo que su poética visión de un tiempo a ritmo de un nuevo folk calara entre la juventud, pero ni antes ni después he conseguido conectar con su música lo suficiente.

first bob dylan album i listened to beginning to end fav songs : subterranean homesick blues, gates of eden, it’s all over now baby blue

Pretty good overall just too old for me to really get into (7/10)

Gotta be honest, never really listened to Bob. Will try and listen to more, though.

It’s Bob. You either like his stuff or you don’t. I don’t. If it was up to me, Bob’s music would disappear to be rediscovered in the future by an advanced society that would say: “Wot the fuck is this??? Perhaps it was a sleep aid? Bob’s whole career is a sleep aid for a generation. There is no human alive who could say Dylan’s music moved them or changed their life. This is a very Yin/Yan moment. I’m struggling to see any light. It seems unusually long for an album but that was just me wishing the whining would end. Lyrically I have more patience because several songs (not Mr Tambourine Man) are sharp observations and interesting which is why covers of these songs are so appealing- they highlight the quality of the songwriting. Mr. Tambourine man is a lowlight on an album filled with several of them. Notwithstanding Subterranean Homesick Blues, the album lurches into a mind numbing experience that makes dull look interesting. I know some professional critics have said that this album is one of the greatest albums of all time. It is not. Not by a long shot.

This a fine Bob Dylan album. I don't think it has nearly as many highs as something like Blood on the Tracks, but I guess we had to hear the first version of Mr. Tambourine Man. Best Songs: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm, Mr. Tambourine Man Worst Songs: Gates of Eden

Brilliant! A giant eff you to the establishment saying I've got your attention now, so listen to what I've got to say. No more boxed into a corner, Dylan just lets his mind go where it wants to go. Brilliant!

Dylan goes electric, and the folk purists go fucking crazy. Love it. Dylan is such a great songwriter. I fall into each songs little world

I don’t listen to folk rock much but i do be bumping bob dylan sometimes. His songs are just tew good

👍

Pretty good

Bob Dylan’s ok

My first introduction to Bob Dylan and it was pretty good. I enjoyed the country instruments that join with the strong guitar. The stand out song for me was Bob Dylan’s 115th dream.

Good, I like

OK. But I didn’t even notice when the album ended and realized oh I like this song and it was my tidal shuffling to another artist

It's good, but not for me.

Good vibes and some clever lyrics. A bit front loaded though if you ask me, except for Mr. Tambourine Man. Faves: Subterranean Homesick Blues, She Belongs To Me, Mr. Tambourine Man

Electric and nice

Stellar.

Classic.

1st Listened to on 12/9/25 This brings me back to a former life with a former partner (who was not so great but did bring some special music in my life). Looking at the song list Maggie's Farm and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue are familiar....

absolutely amazing! songs like "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" is kind of nostalgic for me; the last one has a brazilian version called "Negro Amor", it's pretty good as well!

Pretty fire

I went into this scared of the worst vocalist in history, but came out very impressed. But for real I really wasn't going into this album with a smile, I listened to 3-4 older Bob Dylan albums in the past and it felt like the worst experience, but this opened my eyes for this guy. The lyrics are always great with Bob I never denied this but the more high tempo bluesy feeling with the electric guitar made it a really really enjoyable listen. The openingtrack "Subterranean Homesick Blues" got me into the vibe straight away. The one thing I will never get behind though is the damn Harmonica, there are few instances that I thought it enhanced the song. "Mr Tambourine Man" is a classic and songs like "Outlaw Blues" might be simple blues songs, they are executed clean and confident. Overall I am pleasantly surprised by Bob The Master Of Bad Vocals Dylan. 9/10.

Classic and fresh at its time.

I get it, I understand the accolades and critical attention Bob Dylan got and continues to get to this day. His songs have lyrical depth truly unlike anything else in popular music. In the context of the time, very subversive and anti-establishment. Musically, Dylan can drag. But thankfully he never stands still, and he pulls from so many places that his work is usually pretty interesting. Not always, but usually. This album in particular has a cleverness and sentiment that stands out for its time. Everyone wanted to do this after they heard it, from The Beatles to The Velvet Underground, I'm even hearing shades of Dylan in Jethro Tull and the folkier Lad Zeppelin songs. Just a very few off the top of my head, after this I'm going to go to the Wikipedia page to see the enormous list of artists Dylan has influenced. Regardless, this is a good listen, worth the time. Heartfelt as all hell, smart, enthusiastic. And humorous. Every song is a journey. Get away from Maggie's Farm for sure.

How much should I hold Bob's singing against him? I've hated Bob's music my whole life but I mostly hate everyone's singing. How much should I hold Bob's harmonica playing against him? It's not his fault he's not Junior Wells. How much should I hold Bob's lyrics against him? As I told a bandmate a few years ago (actually probably on the occasion of Bob's Pulitzer prize win) if you like words, read a book. How much should I hold Bob's fans against him? It doesn't seem he likes them very much either. I liked "She Belongs to Me" the most, probably because I can't remember hearing it before. SH Blues is a strong opener. Too many good covers of Maggie's Farm for me to want to throw that baby out with the bathwater. I'd be fine with deleting Mr. Tambourine Man from the universe.

Bob

Боб продолжает петь свою песню и она не для меня)

I was better prepared after listening to his last album but yeah his voice is still not great. Still great lyrics though.

ok mas não é meu tipo de album

A way better experience than the previous Bob Dylan record I had to listen to, which was "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan". This album is divided in two sections. In the first half, the singer-songwriter starts to incorporate modern elements to his folk sound. The most noticeable being the electric guitar and the drums, but there is also a piano in some songs. I really liked the inclusion of these instruments as they enriched a lot the sound of the tracks (and is also great to hear more things than just his quite annoying voice, an acoustic guitar and the harmonica). The second half is more traditional, and judging by my previous comment, anyone could guess how much I "liked" this part (is quite boring in comparison). What I need to mention is that his great capability of storytelling is still present on this album. Overall, a decent album. Not that I was blown away about it, but I enjoyed it way more than expected.

i like folk - even pre-60s folk - but this has just never done it for me it's alright, ma has some great lyrics

Loved it. Not as good as Joan Baez.

Joa, wohl nicht schlecht. Sollte wohl aufmerksamer auf die Texte achten..?

A little monotonous.

Upbeat, fun, harmonicas and feels very country like. It's got that old timey blues too.
