every time i hear that devillish harmonica i shudder violently... apart from that, i don't even like his voice. shame that i constantly confuse him with David Bowie...

Really wanted to like Bob Dylan to seem cool but I find his singing style insufferable. It sounds like a parody/ the man is singing in cursive. Couldn’t finish not for me

Me han hablado mucho de Bob Dylan, que es buen escritor, buen músico, etc. Lamento decir que por mucho que intenté encontrar algo que me gustara en este álbum fracasé y no lo encontré. Simplemente no me gustó, no me dió algo que personalmente me atraiga (En todo caso me dió algo que me alejó con la armónica que me recuerda a uñas en el pizarrón). Tengo intenciones de darle más oportunidades en el futuro por supuesto, ruego que me sorprenda y cambie de parecer.

Never been a fan of Bob Dylan

ok the first track is way too long.. he said the word stone about 25 times more than he needed too. the length of these songs seems to be a theme… this album so far could be about ten minutes shorter and i’m like three songs in. one of us must know isn’t as bad as the rest of them tho i want you ✨sew bed✨ no no no i’m sorry i couldn’t finish this. i don’t think bob is for me. the songs just aren’t interesting enough i can’t. i’m sure he’s a great guy but the harmonica is enough for me to want to launch off of a moving train, and that’s without the incessant length of each track.

170 Ya me tocó escuchar el freewheeling que estaba piola, pero le puse un 2 porque a ratos se ponía muy country. La semana siguiente vi un documental de Los Beatles donde decían que ese disco les hizo explotar la cabeza. Bueh, pasas que cosan. Si pudiera subirle la nota a este disco a un 3, dejar este en un 2 (letras misóginas, voz nasal, notas arrastraaaadaaas), lo haría. Pero no puedo, así que por respeto a ese disco, este se ganó el 1.

I have a huge respect for the man, but his music...... MEEUUGHEKKHRRR, nope, thank u. I'm giving it -1.

My goodness. wtf. I couldn’t get through one song without wincing so much. The instruments were overstimulation central

I can’t stand it

Mumble mumble bollocks bollocks

Where's UNCAT when you REALLY need it? Dude needs to fucking put down the harmonica, and I'm not even kidding. Seriously, what can be said? It's a double album by someone who already has too many albums on this list. Unnecessary.

Somebody, anybody. Please take away that damn harmonica.

1 / 5 I won't listen to another Dylan album, simply out of spite for how boring his music is.

I can see why people like(d) Bob Dylan, and this isn't very Minnesotan of me, but this album and most of his music just doesn't sound good to my ears.

#11 Holy harmonica Batman! Dylan's nasal voice puts me off.

Massive overrated turd.

You know how people like good music? What if we made it not that way? Did not finish.

the harmonica assaults my ears

There very few singers that i dislike more than Bob Dylan. Lyrically he's OK but I cannot stand the voice. This is a hard no for me.

- this drove home for me that I do not like Bob Dylan one bit. although I will for sure encounter other Dylan albums on this list, I will undoubtedly be an unhappy, biased listener - his voice is so incredibly frustrating -- not the timbre most people tend to take offense to, but the fact that he does this vocal scooping/"sliding around" kind of singing where he doesn't hit a single note directly. that annoying inability to give the listener any kind of solid melody -- you know, the reason why people usually set complex lyrics or poems to music in the first place -- steamrolls over any reason I would have to care about the words being sung - groups like Dire Straits (and artists like Courtney Barnett) can do the talk-singing thing really well, but it implies that the singing is just as passable as the talking. when executed well, the sung lyrics feel emphasized and more emotional than all the spoken ones (in "Romeo and Juliet": "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"). but that's not what's happening on this album and not why Dylan is singing this way - couldn't wait for it to be over (sorry, Bob)

Too country.

Visi Dylano albumai yra šitame sąraše???? Atsibodo tikrai, jie visi man skamba vienodai, kodėl kokio vieno negalėjo atrinkti.

Bob Dylan's voice is just grating to me. Annoying. His harmonica is good and the songs aren't terrible but man I can't stand his singing in this album

Sounds like music demons play in a circus

Dog shit.

I want my 71 minutes back!!!

Cannot stand Bob.

I've never wanted to dnf an album so fast as the first verse on this album. I pushed my way through it and it didn't get much better. But I at least have to hand it to Dylan for telling us to tolerate his work at the end of the first verse when he says, "Everybody must get stoned."

Aggressive harmonica, but I just can't with his singing style. I can't stand the talky-pretend-to-sing style of some singer songwriters. I really wanted to give up on this. 1*

Worst than previous Bobby Dylan album, whined rather than sang

boring and cant sing, what happened to real music? (the beatles)

more like harmonica on harmonica

NO NOT THE HARMONICA BOB DON'T DO IT PLEASE, THINK OF THE CHILDREN

Fucking hell, I don't get it. Couldn't get through the whole thing.

not a fan

An hour too long for me, still not a fan.

Death to harmonicas. When I was in high school there was a girl called Bhree, I remember her talking about the song 'Hits from the bong' by Cypress Hill and how most people liked it because they thought 'it was cool' but she liked it because she ACTUALLY smoked pot which was 'way cooler' - I imagine people who like Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 for the same reason are as insufferably annoying as she was. Anecdote 2 - when I first heard 'everybody must get stoned' I was quite young and only knew of it in the biblical sense (I don't think I'd mind getting stoned if it meant I never had to listen to Bob Dylan again)

An utterly inexplicable artist. Can’t sing, music is trash, lyrics purposely opaque drivel. Every second spent listening to him is a second wasted. Wish I could rate it zero.

Not for me. 1/5

Never have been a fan of Dylan

Randy Newman wannabe

I went in with an open mind, not having heard much Bob Dylan and hoping for the best. I did not get the best - it was worse than I could have thought.

mochte ich tatsächlich nicht. Bob dylan ist sehr bekannt und er hat auch ein paar gute lieder. außer one of us must know hat mir eigentlich kein lied gefallen und ich fande die mundharmonika stellen etwas nervig.

They say never trust a guy with two first names. Yeah. It holds the record for the shortest amount of time it has taken for me to stop listening to an album due to how shit it is. I knew 5 seconds into the first song I was going to hate it. Maybe it's the sour mood I'm in, but I reckon this album put me in the sour mood in the first place. There are ZERO redeeming qualities in this. Some of you lot will wank yourselves off about the lyrics or storytelling or whatever, but if the guy telling you the story sounds like a drunken snot-filled seal you aren't paying attention to what he's saying are you. The fact that he even had the AUDACITY to make it into a double album pisses me off even more. What makes it even worse is that I've got 4 more albums off this prick - at the very least - and has added to the list of albums I'm dreading of getting in this forsaken website Fuck Bob Dylan and fuck his shitty little harmonica. Grow up.

Grossly overrated.

Reading idiotic writings like this are annoying. On the first song "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" According to Andy Gill, by starting his new album with what sounded like "a demented marching-band ... staffed by crazy people out of their mind on loco-weed", Dylan delivered his biggest shock yet for his former folkie fans.The elaborate puns on getting stoned combine a sense of paranoiac persecution with "nudge-nudge wink-wink bohemian hedonism". Heylin points out that the Old Testament connotations of getting stoned made the Salvation Army-style musical backing seem like a good joke." Andy Gill, you are a muppet. That first song is Dixieland music that Dylan aped from the New Orleans area. Dixieland is frequently accompanied by marching snare, and guess what they tend to also sing lots of traditional and gospels in Zydeco and Dixieland style. You give Bob Dylan too much credit for creating something new, when he is merely copycatting traditional American folk and jazz, and poorly at that. I say it all the time, but Bob Dylan is the most overrated American musician. While he may of trailblazed a double album, I would say he was far from the master of its form. His lyrics don't really illuminate as much as they just sensationalize fringe communities in order to appear sufficiently countercultural for his time. It is literary masturbation. At least I have the good taste not to write songs about it. BLONDE ON BLONDE is filled with the terrible singing you've come to expect and the aural assault that he calls a harmonica. No thanks, Bob. Piss off. Next.

I like some of his songs but damn did I dislike this album

Oh no, no, no. After Highway 61 Revisited I never wanted to hear another Bob Dylan album. However, deep down, I knew that the Dylathon never ends. I am now two albums deep into the Bob Dylan heptalogy (yes, I looked up that word just so I could use it here). I don’t recall much about Highway 61 other than that I disliked the ear-bleeding harmonicas and Bob Dylan’s shitty vocals. Tombstone Blues admittedly pops into my head every now and then, so this one might not be that ba-OH MY GOODNESS IT’S A DOUBLE ALBUM. Red alert, red alert. I am endlessly neurotic about conciseness in music and the double album is an affront to all that is good in my eyes. I have endlessly bemoaned the “hour tenner”, an album length from which only one album has returned alive. It’s not looking promising for this album. In any case, I’ll give it a fair shake. From what I’ve picked up about Bob Dylan, I’ve heard that he has a knack for songwriting – a talent I’m continually dumbfounded by. There’s no craft or catchiness to this music. Bobby just dumps a bunch of random shit into these songs and desperately tries to pair his lyrics with bog-standard, overblown instrumentals. Out of this entire suite of songs, there are only two that I think are alright. I Want You has a nice instrumental and is the best-written song on the album. Fourth Time Around is also pretty alright. Very reminiscent of Norwegian Wood on a lyrical and instrumental level, which means the instrumental finally chilled out for a second. This album was indistinguishable from Highway 61, though I'm curious to know why it’s on here. I’m checking the book. Rock’n’roll’s “first masterpiece”. Poetic. “...voice of a generation”. Rock’s first double album (so it was Bob Dylan to blame, huh?). The first page of the 1001 Albums book has an image of Jimi Hendrix lisening to an album with a few vinyl albums strewn beside him, of which this was one. This is probably a worthwhile listen if its one of the first things I’m confronted with when opening the book. I hesitantly cosign this inclusion.

I don't understand why people like Bob Dylan. Boring music, terrible so-called singing, corny writing at times. I don't even think this has the music people know him for on it.

Als dit album niet in deze lijst stond had ik het niet afgeluisterd denk ik. Het eerste nummer was al een directe afknapper, maar uiteindelijk wordt het wel beter. Het enige nummer met een redemption voor mij is I want you door de aanstekelijke melodie, maar daar houdt het ook wel op.

Hoewel het eerste nummer wel echt het dieptepunt is van dit album, zette het wel meteen de correcte verwachting dat dit een verschrikkelijk album is dat ik alleen heb afgeluisterd uit respect voor deze lijst.

opaque production, abrasive instrumentation. dylan’s voice is terrible like so often on his early work. the whole thing is just self important and uninteresting. “i want you” is ok

I hate Bob Dylan's voice and "singing." There are maybe a few songs I find okay, but I tend to like covers of his songs more than the originals. He's like if the Beatles weren't clever or wholesome. Or if Zeppelin wasn't cool. Or if the Stones weren't edgy. Okay music, okay lyrics, terrible voice. Too much harmonica. By far the worst song is the degrading and tone deaf Just Like a Woman. Shut the fuck up man.

this would be a great album if Bob Dylan wasn't on it. still don't like his vocal tone or cadences.

I mean...i enjoyed parts of it. Side 2 was best in my opinion. It just kind of leaves me cold in the same way that Neil Young does. It isn't even one of those "i don't love it but I can see why people do" situations...like i just...don't get it. At the time this came out, there was so much more that was again, in my opinion, more appealing.

Blonde on Blonde is a bloated, self-indulgent mess where Dylan mistakes gibberish for genius and nasal whining for vocal style. It’s the musical equivalent of being cornered at a party by a pretentious bloke who’s definitely read too much beat poetry and won’t stop telling you about it. Half the tracks go on forever about absolutely nothing, the band sounds like they’re winging it half the time, and by Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, you’ll be praying for sweet, sweet silence. If this is ‘the pinnacle of rock poetry,’ no wonder punk had to happen. Made a heap of money and lived a soft cushy life by being an absolute wanker.

Pff Bob dylan

Blues appropriation with a tone -deaf vocal delivery.

get OUT OF HERE BOB DYLAN I hate your voice

nee, niet voor mij

It's alright, I guess maybe I'm just not a fan of this style of "singing". I'm sure the stories he is telling are great and all but I just don't care much for this style.

My 2nd Bob Dylan review. My opinion in his music hasn't changed.

Still can’t stand his nasally droning.

Well, after a lifetime of avoiding seeking out Bob Dylan music to listen to, here we are. And of course they throw me a double album to start! Look, I get it, Dylan is a legend and massively influential. I know there is a reason, and he's not a completely talent-less hack. But lets be real; to my (and many others') ears, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Same can be said for his harmonica playing. My understanding is that his biggest strength is in his lyric writing, which may explain part of why I've never really understood the appeal, as a self described "lyrics last" kind of listener myself. I did not consciously follow along to the lyrics while listening, and while I understand that it might not be the best way to try to understand Bob Dylan...again, I don't listen to music primarily for the lyrics, I listen for the MUSIC, including vocal melodies over lyrics in a lot of cases. Well, another strike on Dylan for my ears, because whatever melodies he may be singing are just far buried under his absolutely awful, effectively tuneless, and distracting voice. Look, I listen to plenty of singers who aren't traditionally good, but there just really aren't any redeeming qualities to his voice that make me want to hear it. And then comes the music. The entirety of the instrumental playing on this album just feels so far in the background because Dylan just never. shuts. up. And again, I get it, its the style! But just really, really not for me. Any break he gives us from his nasally croaking usually is accompanied by some shrill and almost equally annoying harmonica playing. I forget the song, but early on in the album he holds out a single, shrill and obnoxious note for like 15 seconds, but it felt like a god damn eternity to me. I was literally yelling at my speakers "Fuckin' get on with it!!! Christ!!!" I just didn't find much of anything of interest in the instrumentals backing him to redeem my severe distaste for his vocals, but its clear that they're just support characters for his words. If I were to review this album for the public, I might be more kind or reasonable, once again fully understanding his significant impact and influence. But since this is just for me...sorry Bob, to the 1 star pile you go. I'm sure we'll meet again here, and I'll do my best to give you another shot, but I'm not really holding my breath about coming away any differently than here.

I really am not a fan of Dylan's voice. Everything else is fine, but just his voice seems like a parody --- of his own voice.

What a nasally man.

So bad

Yeah I don't want to be rude, but... Is Bob Dylan deaf? I made it through half the album. That's about all I can handle of his "unique" singing.

Q: What's the one thing worse than a Dylan album? A: A *double* Dylan album. That voice. I think I've got PTSD.

Turns out I dont like bob dylan

each song finishing is like getting the boulder to the top of the hill and the next song starting is like the boulder rolling back down again THE most overrated musician of ALL time bar NONE when comparing his actual ability to the amount of praise he's received

not my kind of music, very dad core but not my vibes

More Bob Dylan. Ugh. This blurry ass smug mf only stops screeching when he wants to abuse the shit out of a harmonica. Please make it stop

Just no

The penchant for aging records and the narrow taste of the curators of this list is self-evident at this point. Nasal, whiny, overrated. I really dislike Dylan's voice, and he consistently leans into the vocal timbre that's most annoying. Can't speculate as to why, and not particularly interested in however this was meant to be innovative. Harmonica is fun for a bit, but quickly becomes grating. Goofy fucking lyrics. I read that this won a Nobel Prize for literature? Maybe in the same smoothbrained way that some people consider Ernest Hemingway to be literate. No thanks.

This is terrible. I try, but its just sex drugs and terrible pop culture takes from what sounds like a 15 year old trying to piss off his mommy. Skibidy toilet for baby boomers.

That’s it I’m on strike. This is like my third Bob Dylan album and I’ve hated all of them. The man may have switched to electric but that’s where his range ends. I’m not listening to this because I already know what it sounds like. It’s stupid to have so many albums from a one note bitch like Dylan.

Didnt ask dont care

I didn't like it. Is Bob's harmonica meant to sound like a train whistle in every song?

Fuck Bob Dylan

Not a great album. You either love Dylan or you find him grating and annoying. I fall into the second camp. Some familiar songs on here, but they are the ones that you quickly change the channel on when they show up on streaming radio or youtube. Not a fan/.

Such a bad singer.

I'll never get the appeal of Dylan.

not the fucking harmonica again...

I tried, but I couldn't get into it.

Artiste connu de nom uniquement. Le premier contact est malheureusement très mauvais, je trouve le morceau 'Rainy day Woman' vraiment inintéressant avec son instrumentation type fanfare. Et je n'apprécie pas vraiment la voix de BD. Le second morceau est un blues très classique, avec un chorus d'harmonica moyen. La suite n'est guère plus originale. L'ennui m'a gagné assez vite et j'ai sauté d'un morceau à l'autre pour terminer. =>1/5

When you've heard 1 of 3 types of Bob Dylan songs, you've heard them all. I can't speak for any impact this album had at the time of release but personally it was forgettable.

3rd Dylan album and my opinion has not changed. Would rather listen to a wet dog fart than hear his voice

Bob Dylan- not for me. Grasping to find the appeal

I just couldn't do it. I tried but it's just soooo.... Obnoxious to me. His voice... His harmonica... Just not for me dog. I appreciate the newness it gave for the time, and the lyrics in a writing sense. And some of the moments of music is nice, but all together in the same pot just ain't it. Like putting cheddar cheese over brownies. each good, together fucking bad

Expected some classic singles on here but none to be found. Another album I recognise the cover off but none of the tracks are stand outs! I don’t know how this made it on 1001 list.

No need to waste time here either. Electronica followed by this, just brutal. No more Dylan.

Nope. Not for me

DNF. I’m sorry but there’s no way I can listen to this guy for over an hour.

Harmonica is nice but talk like singing tone is awful.

Tylsä af, en tykkää yhtään Dylanin äänestä/tavasta laulaa

I don't like Bob Dylan's voice, so it's difficult to enjoy any of his stuff.

I don't know why I keep on doing this to myself - hopefully this is the last damn Bob Dylan album on this list. I can't do this, I'm sorry Bob.

All sounds the same. There are much better Springsteen albums around!

A lot of these lyrics are really fucking off putting and creepy/egotistical at best. The delivery is one of the most irritating things ever put to record. I retain as a child and don’t get Dylan at /all/. What a fucking slog persisting with this this was. Absolutely dreading him coming up again.

NO, NO, NO! Not Bob Dylan, AGAIN!!! Bunch of noise! One star is too high.

scheiss harmonika. hated it

Completely insufferable

No. Fuck you, Bob.

Definitely not a must

Listening to this album made me want to kill myself. Bob Dylan's whiney talk-singing and the shrill harmonica made my ears bleed.

Get the fuck out bob

I really wanted to find what people see in this. I didn't find it. Why is he singing like a hillbilly if he's from Minnesota and lives in NYC? I may even hate him after reading: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2022-10-27/bob-dylan-philosophy-of-modern-song-book-review

I was hoping to be offered a few truly great albums before being hit with Bob Dylan. The blues is a genre that I've never particularly "got", and Dylan's nasal drone starts to grate after a couple of tracks. Even the opening track, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" feels like it should be a B-side. There are a couple of decent tracks here, "I Want You" is the stand-out for me. Without the vocal and the constant harmonica (what an unpleasant instrument!), this would be much improved. Pretty much all the songs sound the same and it just goes on forever. Still 2 more to go...

I can’t do this for an hour

Warum finden alle Bob Dylan so wichtig? Ständiges Geleier der Stimme und Mundharmonika. Gibt besseren Blues.

First couple of songs completely turned me off of the whole album DNF

Sorry bob that was poop

I've never liked Bob Dylan. I still don't.

Not my thing at all.

Voice annoys me Love the cover mogging

This voice. It's terrible

One hour long drive home, and Dylan’s voice never got any better. It was difficult to tell the songs apart from each other. I don’t think he would make it to top ten in American Idol today.

From what I have read, Bob Dylan is one of the most influential singer songwriters ever, producing outstanding lyrics, capturing true poetry in his songs. From what I have experienced in any of his albums and this one especially, Bob Dylan tries to compensate his subpar singing voice with a singing style so obnoxious, that I can't even listen to the lyrics at all. My mind is too occupied with getting angrier and angrier, waiting for the next unneccessarily eloHOngated and overly pronOUnced slurred syllables. Couldn't finish it. Give me collapsing buildings again.

Auto 1 star. Cringe singing as always. Don't need 7 albums of his on a list..if

every song sounds EXACTLY the same and its all bad

wasn't good at all, all the songs sounded the same

after a small amount of research i found that historically, lobotomies could be performed in under 10 minutes. with that information in mind i wonder why mr Dylan decided to spend 72 minutes lobotomizing me

#56, the first of seven Dylan albums. I would want to put some rambling about this list and its curation process here, but I'll get to the point: I tried it with this guy, really, but I just can't. The point of music, to me, is: music. It's not words. And so a vocalist's performance is mostly sound, timbre, a layer in the music's soundwaves which hit my eardrums and in the process excite the auditory nerves to generate a, hopefully, pleasant and/or interesting sensation. All of music is about that. Dylan's soundwaves are shit. Firmly sitting in the space between grating and boring. And I'm not going to pretend otherwise, in order to be able to discover potentially good song writing. I know it's there, at times, but it wasn't Dylan who has shown me, but among others Melanie Safka (😢), Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, The Byrds, heck, even fucking Guns 'n Roses or U2. I don't understand why I would want to listen to this man. [copy/paste to a Notepad file, for the remaining six] This album? Yeah, boring. Grating. Occasionally, it brings about a hint of a nice vibe (Visions of Johanna) but any redeeming bits are nullified by how many more of the 72 minutes do - at best - nothing for me. Blues Rock Sonic Garbage that irritates me more than what his session musicians here eventually did as "The Band" (album #28) three years later and that was a 2 from me.

It's just harmonicas and terrible singing. Absolute garbage

Que niña tonta

Munspelet

The style of this Bob Dylan not preferred

I really don't want to give this a one star, because Bob is a great guitar player, and the harmonica work is excellent, but I absolutely hate his voice, and it kills everything for me. The intonation sucks. His vocal embellishments are cringy. The vocal strain is bad. It's just bad.

I still haven't forgiven him for picking up an electric guitar. Was something people said. Meanwhile, this dude got obsessed with the harmonica. This album sucks. And Bob Dylan is a shit poet, singer, and songwriter.

Not my thing at all. Hate his voice. You can hear the conceit and cynicism

It's hard to find words to describe how discomforting this music is to me. I cannot imagine — like I literally cannot comprehend — how Marianne hears this and feels drawn in and turned on. I listen and try to hear it, catch what I've missed before, and it just makes things worse. And the one-star rating isn't posturing, I'm genuinely aggravated when this is playing.

Sooo much harmonica and way too much organ. I don't enjoy his vocals. What else can I say?

Dylan.

Deze man weet heel veel fijne muziek te verpesten met zijn gelal. Halverwege moest ik even pauze nemen. De stem past enkel en alleen in blues-/jazz-achtige muziek. Bij Obviously Five Believers veer ik dan ook ineens op en overweeg een tweede ster. Maar dan de nuchtere Frans Bauer test. Zou ik liever naar een album Frans Bauer luisteren? Ja, heel graag!

not a Bob Dylan fan. Too much harmonica.

Not a Dylan fan

Unlistenable.

I suppose it’s a good album but I’m done with Dylan now.

Ta de la vrg no me gustó

It's such a shame Bob Dylan can't sing. Allegedly, his lyrics are quite good. I can't make out a word he's "singing".

I honestly think the amount of comical takes on Dylan have ruined any chance that I would like his music. He sounds like a muppet and every time the harmonica starts in it triggers my fight or flight, I can’t stand it.

just can't get a along with his voice, DNF

I know he's a legend but I've always found Dylan repetitive and eye-stabby

Just straight up painful. Every song sounds the same, every next minute sounds exactly like the last one. Jesus Christ this is depressing to listen to. Bob Dylan? More like Bob Skyplan cause I want to skip every song after 15 seconds. Significant 17/44 Liked 7/44 Added 1/44 *a long, howling scream*

Literally one of the most overrated acts in history. Bob Dylan may have inspired some talented artists, but man...

I really really didn't like the harmonica, I didn't even finish the album.

Not a Dylan fan, tried so much to make it work but I can’t. Sorry

Dull…….

I could see this hitting at a bar but nah

Oof. Clearly the instrumentals are great here. I just cannot vibe with his singing at all. What an incredibly annoying flair, he gives to his notes. And some texts that I dare say come way too close to sexist. You could say that it's a product of its time, but then I say, well, that was a shitty time. All in all, not gonna listen to this album again.

Absolutely annoying beyond measure. This is one of my first times actively listening to Dylan on my own volition and I'm not sure I believe any actual adult human could seriously get into this album. If I was there in the 60s? Sure. If I grew up with this music? Maybe. But now that I've lived my whole adult life hearing his voice meme'd and parodied I cannot for the life of me take it seriously. Worse yet it seems like his cliche Dylan vocal melodies are in FULL SWING here. They drive me crazy and I can't help but think of all the people who have since done this joke to death.

Man, I know Bobby Zimmerman is fucking legendary, but damn! I just can’t figure out how this shit got any listens. WTF!? A woman with a mustache who can’t find her knees? Did he say vagina somewhere in there? Is this a fucking joke?!?!?! Sorry folks. Poetry is one thing but this is bizarre. I listened to as much as I could but know I’m re-enlisting in the Marines and going back to Helmund province to atone for this clusterfuck.

Fucking. Harmonica.

Fav Songs: Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again Least Fav Songs: Most of the Album

One star for the music sans harmonica. I can't fathom how people listen to Dylan's voice and go "Yeah, that's the shit." I'd rather set fire to my face and then try to put it out with a fork than have to suffer through his voice again.

Hate bob Dylan

new meme dropped: a cat paw on the back of bob dylan's hand. it's time to stop playing the harmonica. george harrison did a better cover of "absolutely sweet marie".

I've lost count of the number of Dylan albums I've heard on this project. Still don't enjoy him. This particular album was a harmonica-filled fever dream.

I regret checking how many Bob Dylan albums are there. This one is slightly better than the previous one (still insufferable)

dislike

Dude, willst du singen oder sprechen? Entscheide dich! Das hat mir nicht so gefallen und die Musik war auch nichts besonderes.

I didn’t like this at all. The harmonica or whatever instrument that was at the beginning put me off. Skipped the all the songs at the beginning and hadn’t had the will to continue to listen…I’m sorry

Boring old man chats

...and I'm back to feeling my bloody boil every time I hear that damned harmonica!

Not a fan of Dylan.

Fuck Bob Dylan. This was just awful. For an hour and 12 minutes ffs. 1/5.

While I appreciate the blues roots this album takes its inspiration from, three nonsensical verses tied together by a chorus repeating the same sentence does not a song make.

Too one-sided and too much harmonica

First of all, why is it called rainy day woman? I like how it feels like it was recorded all together. Maybe I don’t like harmonica anymore? Oof these songs are long. I know his lyrics are meaningful and sometimes political but I have a hard time following the story. He sounds like he has a crazy speaking accent who even says the vowel a like that? Stuck inside of mobile is my favorite. This whole exercise sucked. Next album please

lotsa harmonica, i’m not a huge fan of that or of his singing tbh. i know he’s iconic but just not really for me. by the end of the album i hated it a little less

Sorry, Bob Dylan, I just can't get into your music...got halfway through the album and couldn't continue because of how boring the album is to me.

no more bob dylan

No le pillo

Nunca me a latido éste vato y lo mantengo

Still can't stand his voice. This was unlistenable for me this time around.

Sounded very dated and his voice was annoying. I usually like older music, but couldn't get into this.

Boooo.

I have never understood Dylan's popularity. His voice is dreadful & he sounds bored & boring. This album illustrates this completely

es un gran compositor y eso es irrefutable, peeeero solo eso. Sonsonete cansa y la verdad voy a escuchar la otra parte del disco en un futuro muy lejano. Solo por que tiene algunos cambios musicales y por la letra te das cuenta de que son canciones diferentes, de otro modo diría que todo el disco es una sola canción

Didn't really know any Bob Dylan, but this was even worse than I expected. Every song sounds the same. Nothing melodically or rhythmically interesting at all, annoying harmonica and dreary vocals.

Bad voice. Pseudo-intellectual lyrics. Music for another generation.

Amazing

Bobby D is the best!
