Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan's voice works very well with his blues/ folk style, though I admit it gets old after a while. I also think he does a great job of sounding familiar but different. Meaning, he has a very specific sound and tone throughout the album without seeming repetitive. The composition is simple yet compelling and keeps the listener engaged throughout.

Overall: 8/10 I've been in a Bob Dylan type mood lately so I'm very glad to get this one. I've mostly stuck to listening to Blonde on Blonde so I don't spoil these other albums for myself before they pop up, but it turns out I already knew most of the first half of this one! I can understand why some folk purists at the time would have been mad about this album but it's kind of ridiculous now that I think about it. I don't think any artist should be forced to make one style of music for their entire career. Dylan obviously had a love for bluesier rock and roll and he transitions to that style perfectly. The folk side of this album is great as well, and this is where the lyrics really shine. If you don't enjoy his voice this album isn't going to change your mind, but give it a shot cause it's such a great album. Fav Song: Maggie's Farm Least Fav Song: It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

This is my second Dylan record and what I've discovered is that I like him a lot more than I thought I would. Not as good as Blood on the Tracks but still enjoyable. Find that I like the acoustic songs more than the electric ones. Favorites: Maggie's Farm, On the Road Again, Gates of Eden, It's Alright Ma Would I listen to it again: Yes

It's Dylan. Starts a bit more poppier, less folksy.

Giving it a 1 just because it’s Dylan. He sucks. 40 studio albums could never make me like you Bob.

My second favorite Dylan album behind Blonde on Blonde. The standouts IMO: the rollicking opener Subterranean Homesick Blues, the warm and charming ballad Love Minus Zero, the haunting and surreal Gates of Eden, and the well known Mr Tambourine Man. Dylan gleefully casts aside his status as folk hero and comes into his own here. The first half is an electric middle finger to folk purists happy to keep Dylan in an easy to label box. It’s clear the whole band is having fun; the sounds are loose, bluesy, and energetic. There’s no aim for technical proficiency here and I think this makes the album all the more appealing in its earnestness. His vocal performance here might actually work at times for those who aren’t usually receptive to his delicate style (tambourine man and subterranean homesick both play to his strengths IMO) but if this album doesn’t work for you, nothing will (this is a you issue btw). The second half settles into the traditional acoustic sounds folk purists were accustomed to at the time. Hates of Eden is my favorite here. Dylan wailing about the injustices both in and outside those mythical gates is just so cool to me. Besides that track, the rest of this side is fine to me. If I had this on vinyl, I’d probably not flip to side B very often.

This album is a big step up from Blood on the Tracks (or rather, the latter is a big step down from this). As an early album, I think Bob Dylan hadn't quite developed the horrible vocal affect that plagues his later work. I feel like the instrumentation is a lot more varied and interesting than I'm used to from Dylan. I genuinely didn't hate it, which is saying a lot. The last few tracks on the album start getting very annoying, which brings my rating down a star. Favorite tracks: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm

It's a testament to my dedication to finishing this list that I am willing to listen to more Bob Dylan after hearing Blood on the Tracks first. First verse of "On the Road Again" immediately reminded me why I hated Blood on the Tracks. "Gates of Eden" would be a good song, but Dylan just can't let go of his ridiculous method of emphasizing words with volume instead of LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE. "At dawn my LOVER comes to ME and tells me of her dreams. With no at-TEMPTS to shovel the GLIMPSE..." I get he is trying to highlight the poetic meter here and how it lines up with the music, but there are ways to do this that actually sound good. I won't bother explaining, because I had exactly the same issue with almost everything on Tracks. Just read that review.

Great

Sounds like random singing over nice instruments. More random singing than nice instruments. 1/5

Venter fortsatt på mitt Bob Dylan come to jesus moment...

you know what i actually like him, 4, he lost one point because of his freaky voice

Pre-listening thoughts: after 275 albums Bob Dylan has made his first appearance. If Bob Dylan has 7 albums on the list, and there are 1089 albums on the list, that means we should have gotten our first Bob Dylan album at around 155 albums or so if the generator was to evenly distribute them. I was kind of hoping somehow we’d avoid him altogether but Post/during listening thoughts: PUT THE DAMN HARMONICA DOWN!!!!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!! Listen I hold the very popular opinion that Bob Dylan is a very talented writer but also a terrible singer. Everyone who has ever covered his songs (with the exception of Guns n Roses) has done them better than him. This was bearable. I do often think about the one guy on here who got like 5 Dylan albums generated in his first 100 albums or so and he like ragequit 😭 6/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Love Minus Zero Least fav tracks: Outlaw Blues

Dylan sounds happy, playful even, cheeky even on side A. The first track Subterranean Homesick blues was a suprise to me. In your face don’t trust the man vibe. Side B was more the Dylan I expected. This wasn’t on my radar as I already own Blonde on Blönde, Blood on the attacks and a couple of others but if I come across one I might pick it up

A fine album, but there are better Dylan albums. Also shoutout to the to the RATM cover of Maggie's Farm. Mid 3.

Too much folk

Dylan goes electric. Funny enough, I prefer the songs on the acoustic side 2.

Not many memorable tracks for me from this one. Not too bad overall though

3.5 stars

Not a Dylan fan, whiny voice

Good Dylan album

makes me want to smoke a cigarette .. or two

ok. não foi meu favorito.

Country style, (or maybe more folksy?), but more laid-back in places, almost Velvet Underground/Lou Reed style of almost spoken word vocals (She Belongs to Me) Maggie's Farm is a Bob Dylan song??? Famous poetic lyrics, bordering on surreal. Musically not doing much for me. Best track - It's Okay Ma, I'm Only Bleeding

Sorry, I didn’t love this!

The first of Dylan’s 2nd, 3rd and 4th best albums, all released within a 14 month span from April of 1965 to June of 1966 (Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde the other two). Blood on the Tracks from 1975 is his best. This is the least best of the 3 albums but still a solid 5. 7 electric tracks on side one with a bunch of session musicians, then 4 acoustic tracks on side 2 with almost exclusively Dylan on guitar and harmonica. A transitional album from his folk/acoustic output before 1965 and his more electric output after that. Standout tracks are It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding) with one of my favorite lyrics ever — “he not busy born is busy dying”, Maggie’s Farm and Subterranean Homesick Blues. This was one of 5 CDs issued in 2003 in 5.1 surround on Hybrid SACD. The full list — Another Side of Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde, Bringing It All Back Home, Blood on the Tracks, Love and Theft. Of course I own them all. The surround mix for this album is decent but not stellar.

I don’t think I’ve listened to his version of Mr. Tambourine Man in a million years. William Shatner ruined it for me. But it’s really a great song.

Some of this was really lovely.

Great Stuff from Dylan. I just know there are better Albums from him to come! 4/5 ****

I have great respect for Bob Dylan, and especially appreciate his lyrical prowess; there is no question that this album belongs on this list. That said, a huge swath of what's here is musically pretty uninspired and repetitive. While admittedly the simplistic structure fits with his lyrical delivery, I honestly think I'd rather just read these separately as poems. A singular perspective can of course be enlightening in music and art, but the utter lack of musical conversation, particularly in the latter half, makes this album increasingly tiresome as it progresses. I'm ultimately grateful that Bob has shared his musings with the world, but at the end of the day, I much prefer listening to other artists interpret, expand upon, and add color to them.

Classic stuff

"The beatings will continue until morale improves..." "Thank you, sir! May I have another?" Just like the heavens of hell have listened to my pleas after being beaten with Bob Dylan albums... Yes! There are too many Dylan records on 1001. But they have slowly turned me into a person that 'enjoys'(?) his music. At least I feel like I can appreciate it more. Honestly had no idea how prolific he was. I'm not going to say that I enjoyed this, but I wasn't compelled to turn it off... Also, please, listen to Mary Lou Lord's Some Jingle Jangle Morning... you wont regret it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1bzM50Pq7g

Maybe the most consistently enjoyable Bob Dylan album we've listened to so far? But we've listened to six, and there's still one more to go. Even if I like most of this one, and will like "Like a Rolling Stone," it's just too much.

Sublime album. I have a hard time finding anything wrong it. I enjoy Bob Dylan the poet most. Like who comes up with “She can take the dark out of the nighttime and paint the daytime black” and “But even the president of the United States must sometimes have to stand naked?” And the meter he uses on both Subterranean Homesick Blues and It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding are unique. If I were dmo and only had four total five star albums to give, this would be one.

Groan...

Not a fan of bob Dylan and cannot understand the fascination. But this is a pretty good album.

☀︎quand je pense au son typique des années 60, je pense à ça, même avant d’avoir écouté cet album. c’est vraiment basic j’ai l’impression, mais c’est quand même pas si pire. ça te transporte à une autre époque ☀︎je trouve que l’harmonica gosse quand même un peu

A lot of songs sounds the same.

Going into this, I thought I liked Bob Dylan more than I apparently do. While I can appreciate the influence and lyrical depth, most of the album was tough to sit through. His delivery, which some call iconic, just doesn’t always land for me, especially when stretched out over an entire record. “Mr. Tambourine Man” is probably the highlight, but even then, I’m not sure if I genuinely enjoy it or just recognize it from being so widely known. I’ve come to realize I only really connect with a handful of his songs.

it’s bob dylan, it’s good, wahoo

I love how each song sounds like a story. It’s something I would hear at a party. It’s funny, but it’s got something to say. I like listening to it. Not my usual listen, but I can appreciate it.

One of Bob’s bests

just not my cup of tea atm

The first Dylan album to feature electric instrumentation. That occupies all of side one, as side two shifts to more acoustic-based tracks. The departure from the folksy, protest-laden music from the past can be appreciated I guess. Tracks such as "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" arguably represent Dylan at his best from a songwriting standpoint. He leans into surrealism more here in his lyrics, painting an image for those who wish to accept it. And despite that, this is probably Dylan's most accessible album when comparing to the many featured on this list. Not everything was a standout here, but it's been the least "annoying" Dylan album to me thus far, personally.

Dylan’s first foray into electric and an absolute masterpiece. It’s alright, ma (I’m only bleeding) remains one of my favorite songs of all time.

Great album, some classics on here.

I'm not a big Dylan fan, but this was alright.

In the beginning I thought it sounded like many other albums I've heard, but perhaps he was teh first to do it, I don't know. But it really grew on me. Cohesive and yet enough variety to keep it interesting.

Not really a Bob Dylan fan and this didn't make me one. Alright though.

Pojken blir man. Tar farväl av naivitet och ägandeskap av sin framtid.

Struggled with the harmonica onslaught honestly, but the lyrics are excellent

do I own this?

Writing that brings you exactly where he wants to take you. Simple yet well-crafted songs.

Johnnys in my basement mixing my medicine I’m on my pavement thinking about my government. Bob speaks for the real working man

Bobby boy strikes AGAIN

A timeless classic from Bob, from his era when he could do no wrong. Electric half is fantastic, the acoustic half is fantastic, struggling to find a weak point on the entire thing. Hard not to get engrossed in his lyrics.

4/11/25. This might be the first Bob Dylan album I've listened through all the way; it's given me a positive opinion of him! Loved that it's split from electric to solely acoustic, great lyrics, and didn't mind Bob's unique voice. I'll revisit.

blues, bad sound quality, sympa mais sans plus

Nice

It's Bob Dylan, what more can I say.

One of the greatest. The second half it’s beautiful.

Some great songs on this one.

Bringing It All Back Home is the album where Bob Dylan shattered folk tradition, electrified poetic songwriting, and permanently expanded what rock music could express.

It's nice to hear Dylan from back before the songs I knew about. It feels smaller and lighter, more tender somehow. I like it.

Favorite Dylan, and one of the best of all time

I’m pretty sure I like this one as much as I’m gonna like any Dylan record.

took a bit, but it grew on me. maybe i was taking it too seriously at first, but eventually tracks like bob dylan's 115th dream and others just made me realize that while it doesn't tear at my heartstrings, it's a good sound + unique storytelling. however, a bit repetitive.

It’s Alright Ma is underrated. Love Bobby and love this album.

Folksy.

I've never been a fan of Bob Dylan's voice, it grates on my ears man. He makes okay music though, but I gotta give it a 2

Not really my style. But it was enjoyable

Pretty good release from Bob. I enjoyed the classic folk vibes. Also you could make the argument that this was the first rap album released on a major label (see Subterranean Homesick Blues).

This is the first of the Bob Dylan albums on this list I've got. Honestly, I've been slightly dreading these: I know it's blasphemous to say, but I've just never really got Dylan. But that said... I enjoyed this, a lot. I knew the most famous songs (Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie's Farm, Mr Tambourine Man), but hearing them in the context of the album made them work a lot better for me - on the whole, I still don't like Mr Tambourine Man, won't lie - and some of the unknown-to-me songs were pure pleasures, I particularly enjoyed She Belongs To Me and Outlaw Blues. One thing that I have found about this journey so far - and I'm still very early in it - is that it's giving me the tools to understand albums like this in context a little better. I feel like I'm slowly piecing together bits of a jigsaw and noticing how parts fit together that I'd never noticed before.

The more I hear of his albums, the more I enjoy the poetic style of his songs.

First Dylan album I love, perfect for spring

Toimii. 8/10 Eniten kolahti toisen puolen Gates of Eden. Ainoa tuttu kappale oli Mr. Tambourine Man, joka on myös yksi kovimpia raitoja tällä levyllä.

Odotukset olivat korkealla mutta täyttyivät myös hyvin. Monipuolinen albumi, hieno äänenlaatu ja nerokkaita tekstejä.

Renkutusta, jotkut kutsuvat klassikoksi. Paljon hyvääkin, mutta myös tylsää. Bob Dylan on hyvin omaperäinen, mutta ei jokainen kappale mikään hitti ole.

Jaahas. Robet just ennen kun riitti tämä akustinen folklore. Kuuluu jo tarve rysäyttää. Ja edelleen yhtä paska laulaja kun Hendrix...suosittelen silti uutta elokuvaa. Oli oikein hyvä

Levylle on mahtunut paljon hittejä, joista muut ovat tehneet covereita. Onhan tää ihan uniikkia saundia ja tulkintaa. 6/5! Näissä kinkereissä kuullaan varmasti herraa vielä useamman kerran.

Odotin kieltämättä legendan albumilta hieman enemmän. Toki albumilla on hienoja melodioita ja hyviä biisejä mutta moni meni omaan makuun ehkä vähän renkutuksen puolelle.

A gem of Dylans brilliant songwriting

Good stuff

Bad, like all of Dylan's work.

Bob Dylan is rad if you had free time in the 70s/80s and were just bumbling around in the back of your truck fishing all the time. Otherwise, I don’t think I care to spend too much time with it other than studying for culture

Er zit wel wat pit in deze opname, dat is op zich prettig. En er staan een paar bekendere nummers op, zoals dat lied met die bordjes, Baby blue en een schraperige oerversie van Mr. Tambourine man. Maar Bob mag dan Nobelprijswinnaar zijn, de volle 5 punten zal hij hier wel nooit halen. Daar is te muzikale begeleiding te simpelkes voor, en de stem te afgeragd. Afgezien daarvan kun je deze rustig meermalen draaien.

Bob heeft deze keer een typisch amerikaans plattelands stemgeluid. Ik vergelijk best veel zangers met Dylan als de specifieke manier van zingen weer voorbijkomt. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk, Bob heeft helemaal niet slechts één stemgeluid. Dat is toch knap. Het blijft Bob, dus de stem draait en schuurt, maar het kan veel gekker. Ondanks dat ik vaak afknap op de knauwende amerikanen, is dit de prettigste stem van Bob die ik in de lijst ben tegengekomen. 2,5 ster.

Ome Bob levert precies datgene waar heel veel mensen een hekel aan hebben: een beetje praatgebrom en brabbelspraakzang met die kenmerkende omhooggaande toon op het einde van de zin. Hij wordt voornamelijk begeleid door zichzelf op akoestische gitaar en mondharmonica. Het is veelal bluesy met een vleugje country (af en toe heeft het wat weg van Johnny Cash zelfs) en dat is precies wat ik erg fijn vind, als ik gedateerde muziek moet luisteren. Ik vind dit dus ook een stuk minder gedateerd klinken, dan sommige beatmuziek of crooners. Dit zijn eigenlijk gewoon pop/rockliedjes helemaal uitgekleed tot hun puurste vorm van een paar akkoorden op gitaar. Ik kan hier prima van genieten, misschien net niet genoeg voor 5 sterren, maar ik kan dit morgen met gemak weer op zetten. Schijt aan alle haters, haters gonna hate.

she brleongs to me and the tamboruine man ar good sons

happy about it

not for me sorry i didn't really get it

Kind of annoying x)

Boring and terrible.

I'm only a casual Dylan fan and hadn't paid this album much attention; it doesn't seem to be held in as high regard as eg. Blonde on Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited, or Blood on the Tracks. But for whatever reason I enjoyed the absolute shit out of this one, and think it's better than all of them. Beyond the notable classics, just a great collection of rock and folk.

Some of his best work.

Greatest and My favorite Timothee’s Album

I absolutely love this album. Bob dylan is a visionary and a genius (except when it comes to metal sculptures)!

4.5 Damn if this project hasn’t got me finally really appreciating Bob Dylan. This album is so sweet, so romantic, so funny, so wistful.

This is the first Bob Dylan album that has really grabbed me. I found Blonde on Blonde insipid, wheras this was full of energy with a nice mix of traditional folk and some rock elements. I think my preference for folk might be a factor in this. I might even want to own this. I really cant fault it

one of my favorite dylan albums. if not, at least a handful of my favorite tracks. subterranean homesick blues, outlaw blues, especially it’s alright ma (i’m only bleeding). 5/5

i love this album sm. heard it like a hundred times

Surprisingly had not listened to this one in its entirety. Subterranean Homesick Blues and It's All Over Now, Baby Blue are a couple of my favorites.

Some Dylan songs really hit for me and others just fall flat. It's the kind of album you can have on and make everyone happy though. Still think Paul Simon is a superior singer/songwriter.

This is the first line of the song, Oh yeah this is the first line of the song, This is the line with some kind of twist, A clever or ironic set up you might have missed, Then this is the payoff you were waiting for all along. It is definitely possible to recognise that someone is a genius while also finding them a little overrated. Plenty of great songs here either way.

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

Okay

Pretty decent, considering I never thought I was a Dylan fan, bit samey after a while.

I've really grown to like Bob Dylan over the years. This album is a good example of his transitional period from folk to rock. He's not quite at Highway 61 revisited yet, but he's bringing it home

This album sounds like what you’d expect from Bob Dylan. It’s split into two parts: the first half introduces electric instruments and a folk-rock style, while the second half sticks to his traditional acoustic folk roots.

dylan goes electric. first album recommended to me. glad i watched a complete unknown recently because i did not know much about about him.

It was alright for a bit, but Mr. Tambourine Man really drags it down.

well geez. I know this record back and forth. One of my top 3 for Dylan- "It's all Right, Ma" and "Gates of Eden" and "It's all Over Now Baby Blue" are probably the best closing triad of any album ever. Even the lesser known cuts are gems- Love Minus Zero/No Limit is one of his more beautiful love songs; his 115th dream his liveliest farce. i'm not qualified to talk about how good this record is. 5 stars goddamnit

Almost all pure Dylan classics.

Yeah I like this! I’ve never been a particularly big Dylan fan because I never really made the effort to listen to more of his music. But I’m getting a little more into folk! So I‘m glad to have listened to this. It’s definitely one I’d replay. Sounds like it would be good for driving down country roads with the windows open. I’m a fan!

Hell yeah Bob Dylan. It's pretty alright, it's great easy listening for sure and I'd definitely put it on while cooking dinner - I just wouldn't rave about it to my family and friends. The opening track bangs though.

Decent classics. Helped me really understand Weird Al's Bob

I used to think to myself 'hey I like the blues as much as the next guy', but I didn't realize the next guy might be Bob Dylan. A lot of these songs are great standalone, but as a whole, the album exposes the rigid structure of blues chord progressions. It makes each subsequent song get more and more predictable, and by the beginning 'Bob Dylan's 115th Dream', I also broke out laughing. This repetition is broken when we reach 'Mr. Tambourine Man' when he switches off the electric twang. I liked this half of the album much more; he explores more ideas than just the AABA-BBAA-CBAA blues, and the acoustic guitar compliments his unique, nasal voice much better (which grew on me a lot as the album progressed). Would have given a 4 to this part of the album if I could, but the first half of the album could have been summed up in a single song IMO.

In my opinion, this is a top 5 album we've listened to so far, and remarkably, this isn't even a top 5 Dylan album for me. Maggie's Farm is definitely a top 5 Dylan song though. 5/5

Someone will inevitably bully me for giving every Bob Dylan album 5 stars, but it will probably happen and I have come to terms with it. This is a perfect album that jumps effortlessly between serious personal introspection, bravado, and absurdist comedy. Subterranean Homesick Blues: The speed of lyrics here. This is the album where Bob Dylan went electric, and I'd say pre-Dylan folk was pretty much out of ideas. Maggie's Farm: What a way to say you're better than the music scene which birthed you. Love Minus Zero: Up there among the most underrated songs he wrote. It has this perfect way of contrasting attributes that aren't in opposition--"Some speak of the future/My love she speaks softly" Bob Dylan's 115th dream: "He said his name was Columbus, and I just said good luck" also "he gave me his card/said call me if they die" Mr. Tambourine Man: The most famous song from the album, does less for me than for many, but emblematic of the enormous range of this album It's Alright Ma: Nothing to add, just a perfect song. It's All Over Now Baby Blue: Bob Dylan can get into really heady philosophical stuff, but he's so good at writing simple songs about breaking relationships too. A neat thing about great music is it says so much more than can be unpacked in twice as many words.

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.

I TRIED SO HARD TO LIKE THIS ALBUM AND I DON'T IM SORRY DONT CANCEL ME

Quality. Nuff sed.

Hit a note Bob--Just any note. Lyrics more than compensate. Strangely--the total package works somehow.

Surprisingly, I had not listened to much Bob Dylan before. Now I have. Not bad.

I like Bob Dylan..... in small doses. He becomes grating over time, and the back half of this album was a slog to finish.

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.

I just can't listen to Bob Dylan's voice. It drives me crazy. I can't get past it to listen to the content of the lyrics. I'm always grateful when someone else covers a Bob Dylan song so I can hear the quality of the song rather than the abomination that is his vocal delivery.

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!

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

Solid

One of the big ones Dylan wrote. I like it a lot especially that is is divided in to two sides with different approaches to music.

I feel truly sorry for anyone who thinks this man is a poet of any renown. This is the best of the 7 or so Dylan albums I’ve suffered so far. It’s still awful. Fuck you, Bob.

Goosebumps. Dylan’s just on another level.

Bob Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home" is a landmark album that famously signaled his move to electric music, a shift that polarized folk purists while simultaneously broadening his artistic scope; the record showcases a significant evolution in Dylan's lyrical style, moving away from straightforward protest songs towards more abstract and complex themes; musically, it blends folk, rock, and blues influences, demonstrating his versatility; it is widely regarded as a pivotal work that redefined the possibilities of popular music and a cornerstone of his mid-1960s trilogy of albums.

Pretty. I enjoyed this more than other Dylan hours.

Well, I really liked this one, which is something I never thought I’d say about Dylan. The electric Judas thing was definitely a good move. More tuneful, less whiny with some classic tracks. Drops off a bit towards the end though

booooooring

Did you know Dylan is in Electric LaDYLANd? Well, there you go. This is probably my favourite Dylan album so far on this list. Weirdly. Because it has a lot of simple country & western style shuffle numbers on it, which I tend to not enjoy greatly. Still, it has a certain drive, which is good. That said... This is Dylan album number 4 for me, and that's a lot already, and a lot, too, considering there are three more waiting for me.

Love his storytelling in the songs. Especially in Bob Dylan’s 115th dream, this whole bullshit story makes a great song. Mr tambourine man is just a masterpiece and the rest of the album is solid. Favourite songs: - On the road again - Bob Dylan’s 115th dream - Mr. Tambourine man

I forgot just how much energy and power Dylan had in these early albums. This is my favorite of his folks albums, and no wonder, it is full of great tunes and greater lyrics. 4.5/5

This is interesting because it's Dylan's transition album. Everyone talks about it but you can almost hear it in real time here. Fascinating. 8/10

Holy shit. I knew old Dylan vegetal apealed to me but I never took the time to sit with a full album. I loved this and have spent days relistening! I respect anyone who can't get past his voice, but it works for me.and the melodies and poetry are terrific.

I don't think I have ever listened to Bob Dylan before. I think the music was alright, if a bit silly-sounding, and I actually liked the harmonica. The music reminds me of a Summer afternoon. The album is not something I would seek out normally, but it is not bad either.

i just can't get into bob dylan

This dude can write some songs even if he can't always sing them.

Not a fan of Dylan

I have a theory that the crowd at the Newport Folk Festival reacted so negatively to Dylan's electric set just because Maggie's Farm sucks as a song. The electric songs here aren't my favorite from Dylan, and the acoustic ones are pretty great.

This is the shit. Dylan goes electric, etc. I recently watched “A Complete Unknown” so it was fun to picture Bobby writing these songs with a sly sneer on his face, thinking “one day they’re gonna make a movie of me and they’ll know I was pretty.” The BALLS to make “Baby Blue” the album CLOSER.

If I didn’t know Highway 61 and Blonde on Blonde I’d probably love this. But as it stands this isn’t my favorite Dylan record. There’s some classic tunes but for me this is an up and down record.

good folk album, i like it, but it's not my genre

4.5

Wow what an album! Combining Dylan’s trademark folk acoustic sound with the first introduction of electric instrumentation in his music that would help reshape the then emerging rock scene to what it would become for generations to come. Now I’m no Dylan super fan and this was my first listening experience with this particular album, courtesy of the 1001 album project…which really makes me wonder how I missed this for so long, as my relationship with his music had been HWY 61 onward. Essential listening that absolutely deserves its place on this list among the others! A classic, dare I say best Dylan offering? Time will tell (I’m only 10 albums into this journey), however I’m confident in rating this as my first 5 Star ***** :) 🎧 Classic Track- Mr. Tambourine Man 🎧 Hidden Gem- Outlaw Blues 🎧 Personal Favourite- It’s Alright ma (I’m Only Bleeding) The album artwork further solidifies my rating as the visual symbolism compliments his personal lyricism perfectly. Before Highway 61…Blonde on Blonde…Blood on the Tracks...There was this daring musical innovation for its time, that boldly challenged its contemporaries in the face of divisive criticism. I will now be on the lookout for a clean original vinyl pressing of this record to add to my collection! 🖼️ Album Artwork: Loved 💿 Add to your vinyl collection!

nice

That was a really good album but I noticed something like for almost every song, it starts with the same rythmic riff so kinda disturbing which is also the same as "Blowin' in the Wind" so everytime a new song was starting I thought it was "Blowin in the Wind". So I don't really know if it's done to give a special tone like a specificity to show that this is "BOB DYLAN" like it's signature move or just it's a lazy move and he used it because it's easy to start a song like that. But it was a good album clearly not a banger but there was some good ones for sure.

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

Dylan has just never clicked for me. This felt like spoken poetry (admittedly beautiful and masterful) slapped into a basic blues/folk background that doesn’t change at all through the entire song. Which might be the whole point, but that’s not what interests me about music.

Classic Bob Dylan album. Possibly the most important to him as an artist and one of the most influential albums of the 60’s. Dylan going electric is just iconic. “Subterranean homesick blues” is one of the best Dylan songs in my opinion and an electrifying way to open the album. Brilliant folk-rock infused with an almost rap energy with some of Dylan’s catchiest lyrics. The electric side of the album continues to deliver with some of Dylan’s best blues tracks including “she belongs to me”, “outlaw blues” and the best of the bunch “maggies farm”. The latter being a brilliant electric blues track with a simple but great structure and almost punk lyrics. Found amongst these is “love minus zero” which is a good love song. “On the road again” and “Bob Dylan’s 115th dream” close out the electric side. Both are pretty good, but the latter is the highlight for me with its interestingly surreal lyrics and the start being interrupted by laughter before going into the song is a nice touch. Side two begins with “Mr tambourine man” and not much needs to be said about this song - it’s one of Dylan’s best, most iconic tracks ever and one of the best of the 60’s. The surreal nature of the songs continues with the great “gates of Eden” before going into “it’s alright ma (I’m only bleeding)”. A masterpiece from Dylan and one of his best songs, with some of his best lyrics. Most notably “He not busy being born is busy dying”. The album closes with a nice acoustic track “It’s all over now, baby blue”. Whilst this album is probably my least favourite from Bob Dylan’s rock trilogy, it’s still an incredible listen. There are no skips here, and some of Dylan’s best ever songs, lyrics and a great transition into electric songs. Side one is probably better overall for me, although side two has the best individual songs with “mr tambourine man” and “it’s alright ma (I’m only bleeding)”. At first, I thought of rating this album as a 4/5 as it didn’t stand out to me as much as “highway 61 revisited” and “blonde on blonde” but after re-listens my appreciation has grown for the album. Paired with the fact that it is essentially one of the most essential and influential rock albums ever made, there is no reason to give this fantastic record anything other than 5/5. 5/5.

3 +3 = 6 /2= 3

You either love Bob Dylan or you hate him. I absolutely LOVE him!!

Not for me

I can see how this was revolutionary for its time, but I'm kind of indifferent

одна песня норм, остальные не очень понравились. не знаю почему Стас Гасилин так от него фанатеет)

This is the first time I've felt I am really into a whole Dylan album. This is a great set of songs, obviously some of the great lyrics of the rock and roll era and really consistent. This is the very definition of a great album.

The track list reads like a greatest hits album. Dylan's start of his electric period has great songs and production. For those who are unacquainted with Dylan, this is a good place to start.

Cada vez me gusta más Bob Dylan, de este disco me guardo como favoritas "Subterranean Homesick Blues", "She Belongs to Me", "Mr. Tambourine Man" y ".It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". Imprescindible.

I like Bob Dylan so it would be hard to fault this album. It's near the top of his oeuvre and I liked it.

Bob Dylan loves to speak in metaphors, and to shock people (metaphorically) son when he launched his new album as the Prophet, a whole electric album side made a lot of people upset, but he brought it back home (the pun!) to side two as his usual acoustic record. That all changed later the same year when he made headlines by opening his concert in electric and never looked back. 5/5 - genius!

A stellar album, start to finish. The imagery created in the songs is almost cinematic, covering so much more territory than was typical in rock music at the time. It’s not just that; it’s more than an archival piece capturing an innovative moment. The stories just pull me in. A classic for sure.

Not much of a Dylan fan, but this is ok. Good even. A little monotonous at times. Buuuut I will probably never listen to this again. Three stars.

The transition from folk to more blues/rock, really great album. I think it lacks the depth of some of Dylan's better albums but still an awesome album

"Start again"

Just a white guy singing blues

Lively, rich and robust song writing chops with really laid back and stripped song writing. Good fun for the whole family. Another entry in the "i was a hater before this 1001 challenge".

Bringing It All Back Home markiert einen Wendepunkt in Bob Dylans Karriere, sowohl musikalisch als auch thematisch. Das Album, das am 22. März 1965 veröffentlicht wurde, vereint Dylans Folk-Wurzeln mit Rock-Elementen und zeigt einen Übergang zu einem elektrischeren Sound. Es war das erste Album, auf dem Dylan teilweise elektrische Instrumente verwendete, was zu dieser Zeit eine Kontroverse auslöste, da viele seiner Folk-Fans diesen Schritt kritisch betrachteten. Das Album wurde in den Columbia Recording Studios in New York aufgenommen, einem der renommiertesten Aufnahmestudios der Zeit. Dylan, ein US-amerikanischer Musiker, zeigt auf diesem Werk eine bemerkenswerte Bandbreite an lyrischer Tiefe und experimenteller Musik. In vielen Songs sind die Texte, die oft mit politischen und gesellschaftlichen Themen spielen, von einer neuen, intensiveren Direktheit geprägt. Zu den herausragenden Songs zählen „Subterranean Homesick Blues“, ein schneller, fast rockiger Track, der mit seinem eingängigen Refrain und seiner Mischung aus Folk und Rock einen neuen Stil für Dylan begründete, sowie „Mr. Tambourine Man“, eines der bekanntesten Lieder des Albums, das mit seiner poetischen, fast surrealen Sprache und dem sanften Rhythmus zu einem Klassiker wurde. „It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue“ bietet ein melancholisches Ende und ist ein gutes Beispiel für Dylans Fähigkeit, komplexe Emotionen in einfache, aber tiefgründige Texte zu fassen. Das Genre des Albums ist eine Mischung aus Folk, Rock und ein wenig Blues, wobei es besonders durch die elektrische Gitarre und die Veränderung des Klanges eine neue Richtung einschlug. Es steht stellvertretend für den Beginn von Dylans Aufbruch in neue musikalische Territorien, was seine Musik und den Rock insgesamt nachhaltig beeinflusste. Bringing It All Back Home ist ein wegweisendes Album in der Karriere von Bob Dylan. Es zeigt eine gelungene Mischung aus Folk und Rock und bietet gleichzeitig eine bemerkenswerte lyrische Tiefe. Das Werk ist nicht nur ein Meilenstein für Dylan selbst, sondern auch für die Entwicklung der modernen Musik.

3.5

Two Bob Dylan albums already and an average rating of 1. A 2 and a 0. Perfect. Thrilled to see another one. I am genuinely enthused that this predates 1970 because this feels like it could be his actual prime. I will withhold the rest of my preexisting Bob opinions until they have been challenged or confirmed by the B man bringing it all back home. Take it away poetry grandpa. Like any good youngster, I first heard wind of this song through a Weird Al video. Hey man. This was actually good. I often use “subterranean” in reference to albums that suck. This was a good song. Fun phrasing throughout, cool lyrics. Not sure if I’d call him the greatest poet of our time or whatever, but it was at least interesting. His voice is too bad to not be surrounded by more stuff. This is too bare. Don’t need the Bob Dylan coffee house set. This is a pass. Hey. We all hate labour. Get outta here Maggie. And your dimwit brother too. Me and my new pal Bob are basing our entire personalities around leather jackets and reading hack poetry, so we don’t have time to be scrubbing your dumb brick window anymore. This song speaks to a sentiment that continues to bubble to the surface in modern society. As poignant today as it was then. Maybe more so. Despite my distaste for secretly conservative dude bros who co-opt “Dylan-isms” to pick up dumb women; this is an essential track. Hmm. They say quality skips a track on this album. Well. I’m saying that. This song is boring and too focused on bad vocals. It’s fine, but not what I’m here for. Whoa we’re getting’ wild now. Take that hippies, this guitar is through an amp. I get why they didn’t like it as much. It’s a pretty stark departure. Decent track. I see a giraffe and he doesn’t know the time. Ask the ancient phantom, spin from rime. The duchess and her hat, says “how about that?” Ah and the prince, he’s starting to get a little fat. *SCREECHING HARMONICA* Where’s my Pulitzer? Alright Bob. It wasn’t THAT funny. Bob Dylan’s 115th dream EVER??? He was 24. Truly rare. This is a cool song. Somewhat narrative based is better than the typical “Mary bought the farm; look at the sleeves on my arm” brand of “poetry.” Some very interesting lyrics here. Too long, but overall a fun highlight. Nah. This is not a great one. The departure from electric Bob is surprisingly unwelcome. Hey. Mr. tambourine Man. Some of us are trying to sleep over here. Cut the shit. Eden? Are we sure? Is this not Hades? Sometimes the guys who lean into the poetry shouldn’t do music. This is what this song feels like. There are no truths nor is there any justice in this song. Song is bad, poem is worse. Now this is an interesting poem. Also a bad song, but I’ll call it like I see it. Even though I find him unbearably pretentious, this is excellent writing. To me. Once again, like any art, poetry is completely subjective. This one speaks to me throughout. Good track for this reason alone. NOOO PLEASE DONTAHHHHH. Oh. It’s fine. He came in REAL LOUD. I was scared is all. Folksy expressions aside, we leave with a whimper. Not horrible, not great, just fine. I have a complicated view of Bob Dylan. On one hand, I begrudgingly like some of his stuff and I hate the idea of rushing to heap praise on one of the most overrated musicians to ever strap a harmonica to a guitar. On the other hand, he does some things that I genuinely hate. For starters, the singing here is better than it was in other efforts, but it’s still detracting heavily from these songs. For what he lacks in technical ability, he also lacks in likability. It’s grating. Now, the poetry. Hit or miss in every instance. More misses than hits for me. I think if you look at the typical guy obsessed with Bob Dylan, it gives you an excellent idea of the intellectual depth and quality of the poetry. I’ll leave that up to your interpretation. You know how if you’re a middle of the road singer and a middle of the road actor, you do musical theatre? Maybe middle of the road poets and middle of the road musicians do average folk rock? That’s where this sits for me. A middling album that sparkles at times, only to be let down by the hubris of its own creator. See you down the road, Bob. This ain’t over between us. 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Subterranean Homesick Blues, Maggie’s Farm, Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream, It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)

Two things the average 1001albums reviewer doesn’t appreciate: Bob Dylan and female musicians. Not to sound all holier than thou, but this is one of my favorite albums.

This is my first post "A Complete Unknown" Bob Dylan album and maybe it's Timothee Chalmet's impact but I liked this a lot more than the previous ones.

9/10

I own two physical copies of this album, one on CD, one on vinyl. Both are titled Subterranean Homesick 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

Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream

Fand es besser als Blood on the tracks, weniger Mindharmonika, aber ganz verstehe ich den Hype auch nicht.

solid record with some good tracks, loved the first song

I hadn't heard this one from Dylan, though I've listened to several of his other albums many times. I enjoyed the first, electric half more than the second, acoustic half for whatever that's worth. Overall a solid album.

Prefer his later work but still good

The transition album. "She says shes 68 but shes really 54"

To borrow a phrase from Kaveh Akbar, this album was stitched into me like a monogram. And I can’t find anything wrong with it even after all these years.

The hits are genuine bangers, but I’m less persuaded by the rest. Bonus points because I never paid attention to 115th Dream before and “They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants” is up there for top lyrics of all time!

Wow - a Milestone

if i had to have an electric dylan opinion, it's that i prefer when he's actually going somewhere with the music (blood on the tracks ex) instead of just playing folk but electric. cool songs though

Dylan goes electric. Classic album, lots of classic tracks like Subterranean Homesick Blues and Mr. Tambourine Man. But this isn't just a few hits and a bunch of filler material. Lots of slept on tracks here, like Gates of Eden, which I love, 115th Dream and It's Alright Ma. It's when he went partly to crossover to rock, but there is still plenty of classic folk here. Might not be my favourite Dylan album, but certainly top five, maybe top three.

Bästa Dylan plattan på den här listan hittills. Inte något mind-blowing trots det. stark 3 Bästa låten: Mr. Tambourine Man

Almost every song on here has the same rhythm. I never noticed that before about Bob Dylan. Anyway, it's a chore to listen too.

this is a bob dylan album 👍 keep up the good work bob dylan fav: subterrain homesick blues

It's Bob Dylan, I understand how much influence he has on the music industry but for me, it's just average. Not my taste.

Klassiek album van Dylan, gewoon echt heel erg goed. Geweldige hits, geweldige muziek, fantastisch album!

It was more angsty than I would've expected. Kind of shouty, I guess. It was good though, kind of strummy as well, but also hard.

Listenable but not my thing

JOHNNY'S IN THE BASEMENT MIXING UP THE MEDECINE I'M ON THE PAVEMENT THINKING BOUT THE GOVERNMENT Some of my favourite Dylan track on this one. Was struck by how well passed the album is on this listen. And funny. I particularly latched to Bob Dylan's 115th Dream (and its flirtation with bisexuality). Also loved the miscegenation reveal at the end of Outlaw Blues

More Bobby D, think that's three now. Would be surprised if it's the last. Sounded like I expected, you have the measure of Bob after an album or two. Had a few more songs I recognised on this one. I like Dylan but I wouldn't say I'm a fan and this album didn't change anything in that regard.

A solid Bob Dylan album. Couple of big hitters, Mr. Tambourine Man possible at the top. On the Road Again, Maggie's Farm, and Subterranean Homesick Blues are the other best tracks. Clear vocals, very interesting themes, rather listenable.

Heard this one before. Quite a few really strong tracks here: Subterranean homesick blues Maggie's farm On the road again Mr tambourine man It's alright ma It's all over now baby blue I think it's hard to give this less than 4.5 given those tracks. Probably be blown away by it if I didn't already know it, victim of your own success Bobby. 4.5

7/10. Like Neil Young. I fw it🤝🏽.

Good album

Thought it was okay, nice vibe.

Solid

Only needed one listen to rate this one. I’m not a huge Dylan fan but can appreciate the quality here. Subterranean is a banger alone.

Whether you like Bob Dylan's nasal voice or not, many of his songs are still very listenable, intense and timeless - It's NOT all over Baby Blue

Just splendid - can't fault it.

Le premier album du virage électrique. Pas encore un chef d’œuvre, mais ça s'en vient.

Far and away my favorite Dylan I've gotten on this list. The opening track might be my favorite song of his. Another classic. 5 stars all day.

3 out of 5. Fifth Bob Dylan album I've encountered on this list. Nothing really jumped out for me on this one either.

A slippery voice Gliding through stories in prose With a folksy flair

It was good but repeative

Yeah, I'm getting a bit sick of Bob Dylan. There were a couple songs on here that I liked, though.

Country.

Now, I'm not saying the album is terrible, but it's the second album I just couldn't go through. After 50 albums with which I was engaged, no matter what. And the previous one received a 1/5 from me. After all, what is an English poem-songwriter to a foreigner?

Incredible stuff - never gets old. Awesome songwriting

6.5/10

Still not a big Dylan fan but like Subterranean Homesick Blues

Decent album, I don't love the voice but the guitar and melodies were pretty solid throughout. 7/10

I think I just generally like Bob Dylan. I came to him later in life, and have still just done a few scattershot albums. But every one so far has just done it for me. Album cover: (A-) They look cool and they are in a cool room.

I like Bob Dylan so I am biased. Not his best works ever but I enjoyed it.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" is a great song. Bob has a strange but enjoyable voice. There was some furious harmonica on this and I loved it. "She Belongs to Me" dials back the intensity but is still great. More sweet harmonica. I don't know much about Bob Dylan, but I do know that it was a huge deal when he went electric. This album has electric guitar on it and it sure does sound sweet. Good decision Bob. "Love Minus Zero" has really smooth guitar. "On The Road Again" has funny lyrics but I didn't love the vocals. "Mr Tambourine Man" is the first song I had heard before, it rocks.

Brilliant song after brilliantly written song. There usn't a bad track on here. Saw a writer say Dylan left the protest songs behind - not sure he got what was being protested.

4.6 2x really enjoyable

I never really got all the fuss around bob dylan and this album didn't change my mind

No mal. Preparándome para la película de Dylan aunque no me guste Dylan, pero soy completista. Y el disco es de mis mejores que le he escuchado.

Nicht meins

Geil für Roadtrip oder so Maincharackter vibes. Ganz cooler mix zwischen acoustic und electric gitarren mit paar schwachen tracks für mich. Bob Dylan natürlich schon geiler song writer.

didn't finish it sadly

Väldigt bra album med flera klassiker. Kanske inte jätte sammanhängande. Kryptiska låttexter, kul!

1965 Cowboy Rowdy Something you would hear when bored on the highway Harmonica

It's alright, feels a bit generic in today's day and age. But that's only natural when it's Bob Dylan we're talking about

While listening to this soulful and enriching record, I could picture Dylan sitting in a chair playing and pouring out every emotion into his six string. Maybe even in one sitting. The record transported me into the studio onto a floor pillow as I sat and admired Dylan’s musicianship unfolding in front of me. Sounds that resonate with every living organism on earth. You can feel the trees, the water, the wind, the human spirit and even some pain. Thank you Bob Dylan, you are a legend. Favorites: She Belongs to Me, Mr. Tambourine Man, Gates of Eden

It’s Dylan

pretty lovely album :) I particularly enjoyed mr tambourine man (mainly for the name). a nice easy listen, with some nice jolly moments

bob really just be telling us stories and stuff and I'm okay with that good job bob interesting stories.

Big Bob Dylan fan, not a huge listener of his early songs though so this album was a nice / new-ish experience for me. The songs on this album were all equally pretty good, although nothing really stood out as exceptionally good nor bad either way. It all just sort of passed me by. Should probably relisten. Fav song: Mr Tambourine Man?

Musically not a great achievement. 5/10

iconic

Not crazy for Dylan honestly, but there's some unquestionable great music here.

It’s Bob. Nuff said

I fucking love Bob Dylan.

First time actually going and listening to Bob Dylan, he kinda rocks.

I'm very surprised and impressed. Having never listened to a Bob Dylan album and not really considering myself a folk fan, I loved this album. Both side A and B, as different as they are, have a good collection of tracks and honestly, no bad songs.

This album surprised me so much, or rather, my reaction to it. I've been aware of Bob Dylan and heard a few songs, but never really got it. This album was great though, witty and funny in a way I didn't expect. Very catchy too!

I once dated an English major who was pretty far up his own ass; he wrote poetry bloated with every literary/ religious/mythological reference he could think of. Some of the acoustic tracks remind me of that guy. Electric half was a delight, however.

Excelente álbum, que marca la controversial transición de Dylan hacia sonidos más eléctricos. La primera mitad es mi favorita; me encanta la combinación de letras muy poéticas con composición de rock/blues. "She Belongs to Me" ha sido mi descubrimiento del día, una canción con la que he conectado íntimamente. La segunda mitad es más folk dylaniano estándar, con letras muy surrealistas. De hecho, quizá demasiado surrealistas para mi gusto. Lo que no se puede negar es que Dylan es un escritor excelente.

Easy 5 stars. One of Dylan’s finest.

Best Song: Mr. Tambourine Man. Dylan's voice has a nicely haunting sound on this track. It really exemplifies the quality that he is able to embody on his best tracks: that of a little boy, completely alone, shouting music directly from his heart. Worst Song: On The Road Again. Nothing like a folksy little ditty about how much a man hates his wife. Will hold this song up when people uncritically laud Bob Dylan's writing. Overall: Bob's feeling particularly electric and his enunciation is on its best behaviour, so this album's got a nice vibe going for it. He does rely a bit heavily on the same, extremely simple rhyme and meter for track after track, which gives the album a sort of Seuss-ical quality to it after a while, but you can ignore that if you don't focus too closely on the music.

Pretty damned good stuff. I mean, I don't know what you want to say about Dylan other than this is when he was at the peak of his powers and hadn't gotten horribly misogynistic or Christian-y yet. It's a great listen.

Folksy Stomping Driving Pinnacle beatnik / folk scene lyrics Peak 60s Dylan for better or worse.

I wonder if there is some diverging timeline in which Bob Dylan "didn't go electric". The double side business is interesting. I've always like rock and roll bob dylan but don't have a lot to say about any of the non Subterranean or Maggie's Farm songs. I wonder if it's _cool_ to really love gates of eden. It's Alright, Ma is a good one though. I wonder if the studio chatter at the beginning of bob dylan's 115th dream was one of the first apperances of this trick that i feel like every artist loves doing and everyone else tolerates. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue is as always a 10/10 and is such an enthralling vocal performance as well. And of course mr. tambourine man. I don't know. ALBUM SCORE? higher than exile. 7, 7.5, it's all over now baby blue is as good of a song as anyone made in the 60's. Won't listen again unless i do a full bob dylan listen. Which i might.

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

One of the best lyricists of all time is still a joy to listen to.

Bob Dylan is on my list "music I should listen one day". So I am happy that I had the chance to listen to him. I really don't like it. Just not my genre.

Quite Nice, didnt finish it though

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

This is like my sixth Bob Dylan album I've gotten. It all just sounds so much like Bob Dylan. But he's grown on me. Vocals are still bonkers, but the storytelling is great

Bob be spitting bars, but this time backed by a whole ass band. Take everything great about his folk songs, and make them rock and you get this album. Favourite tracks being subterranean Homesick blues, Mr Tambourine Man and Its all over now baby blue. Great album. 5 stars

First listen to bob dylan

Listened to this on the train (Bob Dylan approved) on my way to a job interview (Bob Dylan unapproved) and idk if it affected the outcome but I sure enjoyed myself. Favourite tracks: Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream Least fav track: Outlaw Blues

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

Meh, Few good tunes but very samey.

This is the first time I've sat down with any of Dylan's albums, and I find it amusing that this was the first one this project delivered to me given I just saw A Complete Unknown last month. Turns out, at least where this album is concerned, I prefer the electric songs over the acoustic ones. It's all pretty good thanks mainly to his lyrics, though I felt like "It's Alright Ma" drags on a bit too long. I enjoy that they kept the take of him laughing at the start of "115th Dream", and that song is pretty fun. Once that song ends, however, my interest starts to wane as it winds slowly to the end. I understand he'll have more albums in this project, so I'll look forward to hearing this and comparing them to this one. Perhaps my feelings will shift over time, but after 2 listens today I'll call this good, but not great.

So good. Is there a Dylan album I don’t like? We’ll see. So far, no. Another must-listen, another five-star album. #59

First few songs had me thinking maybe bob finally fixed his voice and was kinda sounding decent. Then he pulled the rug out from under me and started to make noises similar to Chipotle induced diarrhea

New genre for me. I can see why his style is so widely recognized. Some great tunes and his personality shines through in his music. Comfort music, good to have at any time playing in the background.

Decent, bit old school for me though.

Ace

ett jävligt fint album. är ffa förtjust i outlaw blues

Never listened to a Dylan album. Thought his voice was annoying. This album wasn't a bad one to listen to. Glad to hear Maggie's farm. Last track I got bored with

you already know what i think of this amazing album

Harmonica

Quintissential Bob Dylan: a mixture of whimsy & harmonica and genuinely beautiful songwriting. Standouts from this listen are Gates of Eden, a surprisingly haunting track, and It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), a poetically bleak near-end to the album. Other highlights include: She Belongs to Me, Love Minus Zero, It's All Over Now Baby Blue and of course, Mr Tambourine Man. Also Rage Against the Machine have a cover of Maggie's Farm.

it's fucking bob dylan man god bless he got a nobel prize for literature and it's DESERVED

One of Dylan's MANY masterpieces - the first one I ever listened to in full when I was first discovering his music.

Ekki það besta sem gefið var út árið 1965, en klárar fimm stjörnur engu að síður. Þetta má hlusta á aftur og aftur, sem ég hef einmitt verið að gera síðustu vikur. Njótið.

4/5 :) fave songs on this album (not in order) ~ subterranean homesick blues maggies farm outlaw blues on the road again bob dylans 115th dream mr tambourine man its alright ma its all over now baby blue (I realise thats most of the songs on the album lmaoo)

It's easy to get too much Dylan, but this album was quite enjoyable.

Greatest turning point in any high profile career ever? The balancing act here between what the audience wants and what Bob wants is ever present here. This honestly be my preference over Highway 61

Lyrically and musically enjoyable.

A little to wild to listen to while working, but it reminded me of how much I love Mr Tamborine Man

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

This was the easiest to get through of the Dylan albums so far, but that might just be because we've had a particularly shit run of albums over the last week or so. Death to harmonicas

Kappas ja taas Bob Dylania. Aika keskivertoa Dylania. Ei mitenkään ihmeellistä erikoisempaa, mutta silti ihan kuunneltavaa. Parhaat: Mr. Tambourine Man, Maggie's Farm, Outlaw Blues

𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑶𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝑩𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒆 I think it's interesting that although the first track on the album, Subterranean Homesick Blues, feels and reads so much as a lamentation of wanting to return to the normalcy of his home and of his forewarning to others who would follow in his footsteps of infamy to look out for certain archetypes and schisms that are laying out around the world, this album was seen as a backstabbing in terms of his deviation from blatant political war cries. Maybe by the standard of their time, statements of defiance needed to be blatant and in your face, in a way that this album certainly isn't. I think many of the songs I get political undertones from could also double as songs of love and sadness, like Maggie's Farm and Outlaw Blues. Overall, this album feels very much cemented into it's time, and there were many times I had to research the intention behind a few lyrics, which is, I think, important in the pursuit of understanding days gone by in all forms of record keeping.

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.

Y'all don't watch the Bob Dylan movie

3+ Stars (9/15)

I don’t know if it’s because that fucking movie is coming out but getting two of this guys albums in a week is brutal and not giving me a decent amount of space between the two is why this gets a 1. I know I’m supposed to care more about what he’s saying, but his voice is so fucking annoying that it makes me pro-Vietnam purely out of spite. Dylan is a whiny shit with a superiority complex and a harmonica. I’m sure his whole fucking discography is on this list I just hope I’m not going to continue getting them all at once. P.S. Mr Tambourine Man and Subterranean Homesick Blues are yet MORE examples of how Dylan’s songs are in much better hands when he has anyone else perform them. What a shithead.

This is the album he sells out, but that's just what he needed. His solo folk albums fell off at this point, being little more than ramblings over guitar strumming, but on this one he is totally revitalized. A+
