The worst voice in music history - sounds like Vic Reeves pub singing....
Oddly enough, even at 5.67 minutes per song. This wasnt terrible. I went in wanting to hate it. But the constant instrument changes and uses kept me in. Holy fuck though. 11 minute song? The fuck is this. Still better than TOOL. 4/9, 66.67%
no gracias.
I can't stand Dylan.
Like a rolling stone! Followed by a bunch of rambling tunes attempting to tell stories.
fine. just fine. I feel nothing really but annoyance for the guy for trying to take money off starving Ethiopians and give it to American farmers. 4.5 / 10 Alright track: Ballad of a Thin Man
I remember hating this the first time I listened to it so was dreading it going in. I didn't hate it as much this time, although safe to say I still don't really "get" Dylan.
Excellent song writer but can't stand the nasally voice
I love the lyrics, even if Dylan's voice gets a bit repetitive and grating to listen to after an hour. And the backing tracks are quite nice too. Except the harmonica solos. Not sure if it's modern compression or maybe me listening on headphones but the piercing notes Dylan hits with it hurt like hell. Furthermore, every song, while sounding nice, did feel like it over-stayed its welcome. Basically, Bob Dylan rambles at you while playing some bouncy folk-rock. Favourite track: Tombstone Blues 2.5/5
definitivamente no mi estilo, pero quería escuchar algo de dylan asi que bien
not my style lamentablemente
What a slog.
What a chore. One great song (Like a Rolling Stone) and a pile of dissonant honky tonk rambling. Bob Dylan has a terrible voice and I still don't care if he's a poet, he's horrible to listen to. Queen Jane Approximately is a particular mess, even the guitar seems out of tune.
Bro por favor las canciones se hacen larguísimas. Like a ROlling Stone es un clásico pero no significa nada SI TODO SUENA IGUAL CAPO. Fui salteando de canción en canción porque no puedo. Desolation Row es una historia, lo entiendo, pero te aburrís a los 3 minutos Y ENCIMA VA Y LE METE ARMÓNICA A TODO BRO CERRA EL UPITE
A harmonica and some twang. Not my favorite voice or genre. 2*
Not a fan of sing-talking, but it has a cohesive theme. Favourite track: Like a Rolling Stone
ive listened to this album so many times in an effort to give bob dylan a chance. it's not bad, but disappointing given the immense respect put on bob dylan's name. the instrumentals on this album are so harsh, and it's difficult to understand the sound of this album. and the vocals are atrocious. trust that if i sang like that, i would be the victim of so much hate. but bob dylan gets away with it? again ive listened to this album so many times, and while i like some songs (Like A Rolling Stone, Tombstone Blues, It Takes A Lot to Laugh), i'm overall not very impressed by this
2,5 Solid but not for me
Rimtai visus jo albumus įdėjo??? Kiek dar liko tada..
This could have been alright if he didn’t open his mouth.
ugh 2/5
This, I think is the 3rd Bob record I have encountered in this list. No matter the order, it boils down to this basic rule: you either love Bob or you loathe Bob. The odds of being in the first camp i.e. Bob lovers, increase with age. If you are old as fuck you probably love Bob. This says more about you as an individual and your failure to discover a world of music that evolved from Bob more than 50 years ago. Punk Rock is 50 years old. Think about that fact for a moment. There have been numerous expansions of musical expression since Bob shocked the folk/Jazz world by plugging in. Bob’s music has certainly evolved. His nasal whine has not evolved enough to make this enjoyable. I’m sure that the songs here merit some attention. I, fall in the later camp of Bob listeners. I can’t stand Bob’s records. In fact, I can also judge all the music critics who fawned over this record. That’s not criticism- it’s fucking promotion. Trying to convince someone that something this boring is an exceptional record, is just fucking sales. Like a Rolling Stone, Tombstone Blues and Ballad of a Thin Man are passable tunes but they would all be either mid set songs - not hits. And that’s the problem with the record - even the hits are boring. So, it’s a 3/5 but because it’s Bob, deductions take this down to a 2/5.
sorry i cant force myself to like bob dylan, i just hate harmonica and folk also i hate his voice, so much, like really much, sorry i really think hes so overrated whole his songs are good but when its covered by someone else
My problem with Bob Dylan songs (other than his voice) is they just go on and on and on and on without changing. If they were 3 mins long I'd not have time to get bored.
I always thought that Bob Dylan was a great songwriter hampered by the fact that he was a lousy singer (and an even lousier harmonica player). After listening to this album, I'm not convinced he was even that good a songwriter. Repetitive, simple chord progressions limp along under lyrics full of bizarre metaphors that almost rhyme, if you squint a lot. Okay, the King of the Philistines refers to LBJ, but is Dylan actually SAYING anything about it? I'm not sure the Emperor has any clothes at all.
Really not for me. Respect the songwriting but his voice drives me mad
Just like some dude rambling about nothing quite repetitively Also -10 points for using the word midget in a song
I really like the instrumentals, but the vocals are a little too high-pitched for me. I usually enjoy calmer and deeper songs; I did enjoy "The Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Highway 61 Revisited."
not bad, but not that good either
Bob Dillhole Why you so many albums in list? I get it, you influential, but my God, I hate your voice.
Just confirms that Dylan was a great songwriter but a god awful singer - all his stuff is better when someone with actual vocal ability sings it.
Wow. I don’t like him. The first song is good but the rest just sounds exactly the same and just this warble
Little disappointed I didnt like more. Just couldnt get into it
yo el 20% del album: damn these cats are cooking yo el 30%: tendré que buscar mas contexto cultural? post-war folk rock obvio es woke pero, i can’t get past it el otro 50% del album: bob dylan metete la dichosa harmonica por el cu fave: ballad of a thin man
Overall rating by me: 3/10 Songs added to the playlist: ,,Ballad of the Thin Man" Notes: I don't really know the cause, but I just can't listen to Bob Dylan's songs. Can't quite put my finger on it but there's something lacking in his country repertoire.
I'm over Bob Dylan. Jeez. This is like the 4th on this list??
Definitely good music, I just personally don’t like his voice and tbh couldn’t finish the whole album
Some of this is hilariously bad, and the musicality is almost nonexistent. At times it sounds like the instruments are playing in different times and different keys, and the guitar sounds out of tune on a few tracks. Also, Dylan's voice is atrocious, and the harmonica is ear-bleed inducing. That said, some of the tracks are significantly better than the others and almost enjoyable. 1.5/5.0: Bad
Holy shmoly this album did not need to be fifty minutes long. Verses repeat too much at the end of the songs. A lot of hooting and hollering if you ask me.
THIS IS THE 6TH BOB DYLAN ALBUM IVE HAD TO ENDURE ALREADY. HOW MANY MORE ARE COMING? WILL HE HOLD A TUNE ON ANY OF THEM? WILL HE PLEASE STOP SCREAMING INTO THAT HARMONICA? TRY BLOWING INTO IT A LITTLE MORE DELICATELY BOB, AS YOU’LL FIND OUT THAT IT CAN MAKE A PLEASANT NOISE. WHY HAVE I WRITTEN THIS ALL IN CAPITALS. I’M OFF TO MEDITATE TO GET OVER IT. (2 rated as it is better than the folk shite of some of the other offerings)
для любителей Боба Дилана.........
You know what you’re getting. Not horrible, but only 2-3 songs worth replaying.
I just don’t like Bob Dylan it turns out. Good storyteller obvs but not so good on my ears
Why revisit 61 when everyone knows that you get your kicks on Route 66? Just seems like poor trip planning.
Nice album
The instrumental was pretty solid but man Dylan's voice is SO BAD, he should not have been allowed near a mic at any point in time. The accompaniment is the only reason why I'm not rating this a 1.
Bob Dylan can kick rocks.
Goddamn why is there so much fucking Bob Dylan on this list? This makes 7 or 8 for me I think. There can't me many more. Well let's get into it, maybe this one will change my mind about him. Yeah this didn't change my mind. It's bad. Guitars are literally out of tune for some of it. And put that fucking harmonica down Bob. How did this man win a Nobel prize? However, I do like some of the guitar work on this album when it's in tune so that's a plus I suppose. And I do rather like Ballad of a Thin Man but I think it's safe to say I am still not a Bob Dylan fan. 2/5
En av de mindre irriterande bob dylan albumet. Men fortfarande lite för mycket skärande munspel
just not my vibe
I don't know man. I think by now I've heard enough Bob Dylan to know if it's for me or not. I'm just not sure that he's really my cup of tea. Like a rolling stone was good. The rest, just ok.
The album finished and rolled onto the next Dylan tracks on Spotify but I couldn't tell. That says it all. Every song is the same. If he didn't have the famous name I'd be wondering what this whiny voice was doing here. Sorry Bob. Overrated.
meh. Dylan isn't my thing 2.5/5
I hate harmonica
Highway 61 Revisited was another decent album from Dylan. Opening track Like A Rolling Stone is one of the most recognized anthems and still holds up great. We move on the Tombstone Blues which isn't bad before settling into a handful of standard Dylan fair that I find just-OK. The album closes with 11-minute Desolation Row which I recognized but didn't do much for me. The electric version of Dylan that he settled into during this period is a lot more listenable than a lot of other stuff from his discography. Blonde On Blonde did some good work trying to flip me on Bob Dylan. I haven't turned as of yet and while Highway 61 Revisited is an OK attempt, its tough for me to be a believer when this album is truly carried by Like A Rolling Stone. The rest of the album isn't bad, but it also isn't great. The last couple entries haven't been insufferable and at least put up an argument as to why he is looked at as one of THE guys in terms of music history. It's not my thing but I can recognize why his presence in the 60's and beyond is such a touch point. I'm still not fully sold though. I expect that a lot of Mr. Zimmerman's best stuff has now been featured. I'm sure there will be another couple OK albums as well as a couple of pedestrian entries that I would prefer were skipped as we get through the back half of this list. I'll give them all a listen but it doesn't mean I have to love them while getting through them. 2.08 stars
The harmonica really is an obnoxious instrument isn't it?
That damn harmonica will be the death of me
If I never hear that harmonica again it'll be too soon.
didn't really care for this
Interesting lyrics. Vocals are terrible and the harmonica is worse
did Desolation Row really need to be 11 minutes long
I am 17 minutes in. There is still over half an hour left. I fear I may not make it. Send my hatred to Robert Dimery. Update: slowly, but surely, I made it.
I can't tell if it's because of my friend's Bob Dylan impression, but I just find this so grating.
Unfortunately, this has become all too common these days, thanks to our over reliance on vehicles.
bit samey
Dylan er fortsatt sykt overvurdert. Ustemte gitarer, enkel kjedelig klimpring og dårlig stemme. Hva er dette for no. Noen helt under par minneverdige gitarlinjer.
Nah bro this guy stinks. Meandering and boring 4/10
It's ok, like a rolling stone is the only one I particularly liked
not for me
A historically pivotal electric-folk milestone, but as a modern listen it’s mostly nasal, talk-sung blues with few sticky melodies—aside from “Like a Rolling Stone,” I wouldn’t replay the whole album.
Pretty ok for bab dylan
Lots of thoughts. Ultimately the album made me think of how the art is constrained or informed by the medium. When listening to headphones, I was struck by how loud certain parts of the composition were, and by how bland (generally) most of the individual parts were. Many of the songs were sonically very full, almost too full, held stable by basic drum patterns and overly chordal rhythm guitar. And the harmonica was loud. Now all that being said, I dont think Ive ever heard people actually talk about the compositional or instrumentally technical aspects of a Bob Dylan song. They are there to provide the base for his singing, specifically the lyrics. And while the lyrics are witty and era-appropriately punchy, by the end of most songs I stopped caring because of how long they just. kept. coming. Obviously Like a Rolling Stone is a hallmark of music. And its a great read. As a poem. I’d honestly prefer to take it in that way than through my headphones again. Yes the chorus is great and iconic, but after the 5th time in one sitting it loses its weight. I dont want to just shit on this though, so I really did make an effort to try and get in the headspace of someone who would be listening to it in 1965. So I pulled out my speaker and let it play while idled in the background and honestly it was a much better experience. It feels like it was made to play ambiently in the background while you idled. The production and volumes and istrumental choices make much more sense to me then, and Dylan’s voice gets evened out across an atmosphere rather than concentrated directly into both ears evenly with no panning. Make some lunch, draw a little, and let your ears latch onto a line every 2-3 minutes that stands out or makes you laugh. Its a good time.
Listening to this Folk Rock album felt like being trapped beside a street preacher with a megaphone who won’t stop talking. It clatters forward on twanging guitars, sharp harmonica blasts, and loose, rolling rhythms, with nasal, sneering vocals half-sung and half-spoken.
Not my jam
Yawn.
I'm really really trying to enjoy Dylan and Christ I just can't. I couldn't wait for this to be over. He's a gifted musician and I'm sure his lyrics are brilliant to the right ear but Jesus it's just not for me at all.
i don't really like this era of Bob Dylan, not my vibe
Why does my lovely holiday have to get Bob Dylan to ruin it, AGAIN?! Okay, let’s see if he’s magically transformed into someone who doesn’t just write the same song 1000 times and rhyme every last word… …”diplomat….siamese cat” Jesus Christ Bob. Okay, I know I’m primed and bias, but surely I can’t be the only person that thinks this guy is criminally overrated and just does kindergarten rhymes?! I just don’t enjoy this man. His music is quite good and some good arrangements but once you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all. And can guess the next word of every line, which doesn’t strike me as creativity. Reached my limit at 3 albums. God knows for the next ones on here…I’m actually mad after this one…charlatan.
2.5
Bob Dylan is alright. I dont hate him. Hes just not my favorite. Like A Rolling Stone is probably the best song on this album.
It's fine. It's okay. It's something I feel like I don't need to listen to again in Its whole.
2/5. Honestly, this is pretty boring. Songs sound mostly the same, the stories they tell aren't interesting. Bob Dylan can't sing either, it always sounds like he's talking about some random shit and music's playing in the background. I heavily disagree with anyone who thinks this guy is a great musician, he's overhyped by a generation that should've known better.
Just absolutely horrible I’m sorry I know he’s a legend but I have no clue why his voice and cadence is enraging.
Maybe I’m just not intellectual enough, but the Dylan-heads always say “its not about his shitty voice or basic music it’s the poetry and imagery” yet the meandering resemblance of a story in songs like Desolation Row lacks any sort of consistency that allows me to draw out some deeper meaning. Sorry Bobby, I tried. I really did.
folky. harmonica. signing?
I am certainly not a Bob Dylan fan, but I’m also not a pure hater. I don’t have the same complaints about his singing style nor choice to use a harmonica. My issue with Bob Dylan is that he was probably an okay poet who tied his lyric to aggressively mediocre folk backing. I love folk, but I prefer when it has a richness to it in instrumentation or vocal harmonies. An hour of guitar and harmonic that are mixed too loud over the lyrics gets very tiring. Dylan’s rhyming scheme of having every line of a stanza use the same syllable also wears rather thin rather quickly. I understand why his work is on this list, but as a musical experience it’s okay at best. I think reading his lyrics as poetry would probably be a better way to ingest them, and leaves room for more musically interesting takes for a list like this.
Like a Rolling Stone and Desolation Row are great tracks. Unfortunately, other than that, I just can't get into Bob Dylan. His voice is not pleasant for me, and I feel like I'm too stupid to "get" his music... He seems a bit pretentious and not a very likeable guy also. Fully aware this is a hot take and he is well-liked but luckily there isn't a downvote system here!
Way, way overrated. Maybe it works if you are tripping on acid or otherwise stoned and in another dimension. But stone cold sober, this just isn't very good. A generous 2.
Mid
this strikes me as the most consistent dylan album experience which is a step up from what we've already had, but it also never reaches any particularly pleasing heights after the opening track so it's still.... all bob dylany, which isn't a positive for me
Listening with lyrics in front is key. Can't make out the words otherways.
This is OK. Not the worst Dylan I've heard, but still not my thing. I still really hate his voice.
I find Bob Dylan somewhat harsh.
zzzzzzz
I'm not personally a huge fan of the early rock & roll era sound.
Not as bad as I thought but not for me
Man Dylan just doesnt do it for me anymore
The first 10 seconds of this album and a few short bursts of a siren whistle might convince you this album is a good hang. Welcome to harmonica hell: 2.5
Meh.
Meh. There’s a mix of reasonable songs (title track and while long, Desolation Row was more engaging than many others) entirely drowned out by harmonica on other songs that is on a spectrum from grating to bone-grinding. Particular shout out to the closing sequence of Queen Jane Approximately for being truly terrible. Hope I enjoy the next Dylan album more.
I can't help but think more hysterical preacher than lyrical master. This album does nothing to bring me into the bob light. It's just too much repeated rambling to enjoy. The extremely light blues / rock overtone again does nothing to blunt the theme. Even the signature songs fail to inspire any more than acceptable background for me which is just plodding and mono. The most dynamic element is a harmonica and frankly no song in my opinion can ever be carried by that.
Great song writer not so good to listen too
Hard to finish. Songs came across as 60’s virtue signaling. Song structure wasn’t interesting.
I mean it was a lot better than that other trash the other day. Didn't mind this and the opener is a classic. High 2s.
Trotos
I’ve learned to hate the harmonica. 3/10
This album just sort of washed over me. I know Dylan is importan as an artistt, but I wasn’t captivated by the poetry of the lyrics here, the songs were so long they felt self-indulgent, the songs all felt like they were so similar that the blurred into one and (whispers) he was a bit out of tune. Didn’t convert me to understanding why he’s held in such reverence as an artist.
I don't know whether I don't get Dylan, or just don't like Dylan, but outside the well-known songs, it just doesn't grab me. Awesome cover tho.
Second 'album of the day', and ehh. Its kinda hard to rate this one. I was at one point a big Bob Dylan fan, though nothing on this album was ever in my rotation. 'Like a Rolling Stone' is of course a good song, but one of those that's maybe too big for its own good. A little played out. Ballad of a Thin Man may be the origin of something I dislike a lot about music, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Desolation Row is probably the closest song to stand out as a solid piece of music in its own right, divorced from all the historical context. The other songs really do just blend together kind of annoyingly. The album isn't for me, but I get it as one of those who's legacy is more rooted in historic significance than musical quality.
I prefer this to the folks music he made first
Bob’s voice has a very distinct tone but it can be quite grating. A lot of his songs sound samey and are very drawn out. Loves the harmonica doesn’t he?
Not my cup of tea. It wasn't bad necessarily but all the songs sounded like each other.
bruh. not another bobby d. album! ugh... edit: i did finish this one, which wasn't as bad as the other on here. but i can finally relate to my mom and why she doesn't like neil young -- his 'whining' is somewhat parallel to bobby's nasally prolonged annunciations. welp.
2.5
Like a Rolling Stone is good, but i mostly don't get the fascination with Dylan
Provjerena Dylan formula "lupi jednu loše otpjevanu ali nesumnjivo genijalnu pjesmu i onda ostatak albuma mumljaj iste gluposti". Na tu genijalnu pjesmu, jedva dvije zvjezdice.
Very bluesy, 2-3
It has only been a few weeks and this is my third bob dylan album. It better ends here
Maybe Dylan is just generational??? But his "poetry" has never landed for me.
Not much of worth in here other than a few funny rhymes. Even like a rolling stone, which should be a good song, is 6 minutes long for absolutely no reason
Love what he stands for. Just not really my vibe. 2 stars but much love
Oké maar helemaal niet mijn ding
Wat lekkere en wat mindere nummers. Vind het album niet een mooi geheel. En misschien ook gewoon niet helemaal mijn ding
look. i know a bunch of people will say this is the greatest album of all time and be firm on this. i can understand why, it's just. this is my 3rd singer songwriter album in a row, and like... i do not like the genre. i can appreciate what it's done for music as a WHOLE but this is just not it. the harmonica solos also like are just annoying lmao
I recently watched (and very much enjoyed) the 2024 Dylan biopic, and I was hoping that movie was going to change how much I enjoy his music. Nope. Any praise I could give Bob Dylan is immediately negated by the pain of harmonica and vocal torture. I couldn't finish this album in the allotted time, and normally when I do that, I make some time in the afternoon to finish up. Not gonna happen today ⭐⭐
Like a Rolling Stone is (of course) pretty good; it starts to drag quickly
I don't care if he is a Pulitzer prize winning poet. If I can't listen to the poetry because I can't get past the voice, what are we doing here?!
Alright
Bob Dylan is an amazing song writer He should stop trying to play the harmonica Great lyricism, there is a good reason why so many artists cover bob Dylan songs I actually enjoy his slightly whiny singing voice. Often the instrumentation is good until the harmonica then it's just horrendous. Every song on here is great right before the harmonica kicks in, that's it's borderline unlistenable Basically whenether anyone else plays a Dylan song they do it better than him. So top marks for writing, he's just abit shit At performing
My inherent dislike of Bob Dylan stems from an almost visceral hatred of his voice. I have been reliably informed by my dad that, some day, I’ll get it - alas, that day hasn’t come. I’ll be amazed if it ever does. Objectively, “Like a Rolling Stone”, is a good song - as are so many of his compositions. I just prefer when someone else sings them.
I distinctly remember my Mum telling me as a kid that some of my favourite artists "can't sing", yet she loved Dylan. Life is full of mysteries. So plus points: Hammond organ (songs are always improved by Hammond organ), the lyrics are often beautiful. Negative points: the voice (god, the voice), the siren whistle on the title track, most tracks are 20-30% longer than they need to be, Dylan absolutely murdering the harmonica (an instrument that can be great, but not in his hands in my opinion). I am genuinely baffled that Like A Rolling Stone was at #1 on multiple versions of Rolling Stone's Greatest Songs of All Time. I mean it's a good song, and I get it was influential, but there are so many better but still influential, tracks to listen to. It's certainly not unlistenable, but I can't imagine returning to it. 2/5
Generally like the sound but still not my favorite vocals. I’m convinced the lyrics are nonsense
3rd album by Bob Dylan on here. I don't understand the fascination with him. Biggest problem with this album, the songs just keep going on. With 9 songs on the album and 51 minutes of run time, it averages out to almost 6 minutes per song. Contrary to popular belief, they aren't that good.
An obvious classic, but I ashamedly am not a fan of Dylan. I don't dislike him, but i've never found myself caught in a Dylan loop. Listening to this album now, I like it more than I remembered, but still not something i'd come back to.
So much harmonica. Too much. So grating. I don’t like Dylan’s voice that much. The music behind him was good. The songs were all wacky, I couldn’t figure if they were supposed to tell a story? Desolation Row was ROUGH. The same thing over and over for 10 minutes. We get it, the world is upside down.
Bobs voice is really hard for me to enjoy, sounds like he's nasally complaining
liked songs: I like the folk sound of earlier Dylan better. Very repetitive. I don't like his voice, song structure, or the harmonica. 2.25
Vijftig minuten jarenzestig-Bob! Dat is teveel. Zijn nasale zeurstem heeft maar één manier van verbuigen en die heb je na een minuut of vijf wel genoeg gehoord. Muzikaal is er ook niet veel variatie en alle nummers zijn te lang. Aan het laatste nummer, Desolation row, lijkt al helemaal geen eind te komen.
Man wat een drama. De man zingt niet. De mondharmonica schiet soms volledig uit de toon. Ok, af en toe werkt het. Die gelukstreffers zijn op single geknald... 1,5 ster, omdat ik inmiddels weet dat deze lijst nog erger te bieden heeft.
Harmonika (eeek), Songs way too long, feels overrated Fav: Desolation Row
3/10… country rock / folk
ughhhhhhhhhh.
Also not really my vibe. Love to Bobby tho
This man went heavy on the harmonica! I’m not sure about this album. I think I’m supposed to like this album because of the recency bias of the biopic but I can’t get into it. I can see how provocative this album was during its time, but I don’t seem to get it today. I’ll stick to Kevin Morby, today’s version of Dylan (complementary) Favorite Track: Like a Rolling Stone
I already made a "Boo Dylan" or "Bad Dylan" joke before so I cant go to that well. I just dont get the appeal. Like a Rolling Stone is alright, and its always the song Bobby D fans recommend to me, but man, the rambling vocals and using the harmonica as a breathing mask gets old so quick.
Dunno what it is about Bob Dyland. A great deal of it is not for me. Dylan’s voice is so big in the mix in this album to the detriment of accompanying parts

Bob Dylan overrated
I understand the importance of By Dylan and why he's so beloved, but his music has never touched me like it has so many other people. Not for me.
I don’t know what to say about this one. Everything is quite mediocre and for me personally it can stay on repeat in my local pub haha
Do we really need the full blast ear piercing harmonica?
I already knew this one! And I already knew Bob Dylan would be on this, but not that it would be the very first one. He's okay. Not a great singer, tbh, and the harmonica is annoying at times (too loud). Some of the lyrics are moving but most of the time I feel like I'm missing all of the references being made.
Classic standard Bob Dylan. I've never been a huge Dylan guy. My opinion still stands.
Would probably enjoy it more if I listened to the lyrics, 1 song saved
Better than the last Dylan I listened to from this list. Possibly because that one was live and this one has studio polish. Which can help with some of my issues with Dylan. i.e. I do not like his vocal stylings, nasally and yell-singing. I say it helps hide these things, but it doesn't solve them for me. The songs are a bit long as well.
Another 60s classic that is never heard in its entirety until beginning the 1001 list. I've listened to a lot of Dylan over the years and appreciate his song writing more so than I like to hear him sing more than a few songs at a time.
Better than expected but also annoying asf. Not my genre but appreciate the first couple tracks, too long after that. Harmonica made me deaf 1.5/5
Songs you’ll know whiny voice, not my favorite
Realmente me sorprendió la mitad del álbum hacia el final. Ballad of a thin man es la primer (y única hasta ahora) canción que me ha gustado de bob dylan. Me dejó sorprendida de manera positiva pero aún así no lo descargaría
If Bob Dylan has a million haters, I am one of them. If Bob Dylan has one hater, it is me, if Bob Dylan has no haters, then I am dead
Idk if Dylan does it for me. Everything sounds the same. Not bad just not something I want to put on really
I can see why Simon and Garfunkel won like every musical award back in the 60s if this was what the competition was like. That harmonica is mastered so much louder than the rest of the audio I couldn't have the music and normal listening volume and also not physically cringe during the harmonica bits. Bonus points for not being Coldplay.
Bob is ok I guess. This isn’t my favourite of his.
Det jag inte hört innan var inget jag reagerade på
bold to cover timothee's songs like this
I have never 'got' Dylan, and this did nothing to change my mind. Three songs in I had drifted off and forgot all about what I was meant to be listening to. I did get back to it and it seemed a little less droney later on, but this is not for me.
I've said it before in previous reviews, and I'll say it again until the end of time. I do not like Bob Dylan's voice. His singing is really not good. Everything else about his music is really great. His lyricism is great, and maybe among the greatest ever?? He definitely was one of the greatest song writers ever. Even his guitar and harmonica playing are really good. But his voice is so off-putting to me, that it takes everything down a notch, especially since a lot of his music places an emphasis on lyrics. Having a full band helps "hide" his voice a lot more than when it's just him on a recorded album. This album wasn't as tough for me to listen to as Live 1966 or Blonde on Blonde. If I don't listen to closely, I vibe and bob along to the music, but then I'm missing out on what makes Bob Dylan go great, his writing. Unfortunately, I just think that Bob Dylan really isn't for me. Favorite Song(s): Like a Rolling Stone, It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry
He verdomme... De muziek is echt wel goed, de teksten zijn echt fantastisch, maar waarom... Waarom is Bob Dylan niet gewoon schrijver gebleven? Like a rolling stone is een goed nummer, het had een fantastisch nummer kunnen zijn als iemand anders het zong. Het is allemaal ook gewoon ontzettend langdradig en ik geloof niet dat een mondharmonica zo zou moeten klinken. Ik ben gewoon echtechtecht geen fan van Bob Dylan, zn muziek is gewoon totaal niet voor mij. Wie heeft ooit bedacht dat Desolation Row bijna 12 minuten moet duren? FAVO: Like a rolling stone
2 stars but I just don't like Bob Dylan never have and never will. The 2 stars is because I am feeling generous today. Otherwise, his stuff is just 1 star for me. Had anyone else said, "The Sun isn't yellow, it's chicken" they would be viewed as stupid, but Dylan says it and people call him a lyrical genius. He sounds like he just wrote a short story and then sang it. Just not for me.
I thought I might like this album after the first couple songs. Then Bob picked up the harmonica. Slightly better listening experience than my first Dylan album. I can’t score it higher though as that death whistle really needs to go.
Respect, but not my cup of tea at all.
This album is relevant to the list, if I had a complaint is that the harmonica is a tiny bit too loud, maybe mic it better or find some studio musician like the rest of the band, but maybe that's a bit of the charm of Dylan, true perfection can't be perfect. I'd rather listen to an artist cover Dylan, but he's a main player of what came after 1965 so I'll pay him some respect by saying that he was a notch ahead of his peers on the lyrical matters. Maybe put down the harmonica for a while, for the better.
There he was singing and playing his guitar. And then he brought out the harmonica. Disgusting. I said my peace, Chrissy.
I’m not a fan of Dylan’s voice, but I sort enjoyed the first few minutes of the first song…only then it kept going and going! It’s only like five minutes long, but felt like so much longer somehow. I know people really love Bob Dylan, but I’ve just never quite understood it.
I prefer my Dylan freewheelin'. I feel like I need a highschool English teacher to give me "historical context" for why everyone loves this ambling poetry with some strumming behind it. But then I didn't care for CATS either
Can’t say I’m a fan of his voice but I liked the production on some of the songs
Fucking hell…. ANOTHER Dylan album? The last one was quite good but this one…. Would have been super boring if it wasn’t so annoying
I regret to say I don't think I get folk rock. The album itself is technically competent, but the twang that ModdedController360 puts on just doesn't do it for me. Favorite track: Ballad of a Thin Man
It was okay
Classy Bob Dylan
alright I guess. I think it's just not my type of music, but it wasn't bad. I have no idea what was up with the clown sounds in highway 61 revisited. just why?? i grabbed three songs from the album which are pretty decent, but they'll probably go straight to the b-list. like a rolling stone, from a buick 6, ballad of a thin man). 2/5 stars.
Cringe and "oh god I hate Bob Dylan" just from the album cover. Clever lyrics, good musicality and flow, just have a hard time with his voice.
I am not a fan of his style at all. This album had so much harmonica that it began to sound off-key.
i'm convinced that 'like a rolling stone' is one of the grestest songs ever written unfortunately, bob dylan wasn't a good singer, so that makes listening to the rest of the album unenjoyable for me plus that damn harmonica made me want to hit a hole in my concrete wall... i would say he's overrated
Good music but not for me
Not a big Dylan fan.
Weiß nicht ob es gut oder schlecht war die Kommentare zu dem Album vor dem Hören durchzulesen. Like a Rolling Stone wirklich ein toller Song, aber ja, seine Stimme ist auf das gesamte Album blickend wirklich kein Genuss und die Mundharmonika hätte man hier und dort reduzieren können
Ich werd kein Bob Dylan Fan. Die Stimme finde ich nicht ansprechend und die Mundharmonika ist häufig einfach schräg und übersteuert. Songs der Playlist hinzugefügt: Keine
The guitar in like a rolling stone feels like a very refreshing opener for a 60s album. The rest is this talky-waily kind of singing that I just don't enjoy. I wanted to like Dylan, but I just don't like his stuff beyond the twoish greatest hits I know. 2* Dude looks fucking cool on the cover though. Highlights: like a rolling stone
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 revisited Going into this with a bit of dread. Not sure I’m ready for 50 minutes of Dylan Like a rolling stone is a classic for a reason. So, a good opener. Although the Dlyanisms are already heavy here. Ok second track is this whole thing going to be songs in a basic rhyme scheme? I guess Dr Seuss would be proud? Ballad of a thin man is still guilty of the Dylanisms but has a bit more going on making it interesting. Although the one eyed midget calling you a cow is a bit much. Ok I get highway 61 revisited the song too. So all in 3 songs that are still played today and hold up and the album has some historical importance to folk music but honestly Dylan just isn’t my bag and this doesn’t change that The less said about Desolation Row the better. Blooming heck 2/5
Just not my style of music. Enjoyed his lyrics though.
Not my cuppa. Quite annoying music imo. But it’s my first bob dylan album so that’s good
So disappointing. I absolutely LOVE acoustic Dylan. Freewheeling is one of my all time faves. But I could never previously put a finger on why I couldn't do his later stuff. After listening to this several times in detail, I think it's because his voice clashes quite hard with rock/blues music, in quote a detrimental way. What complements folk completely falls down with rock. To outshine the additional instruments/noise it sounds like he's straining in parts which gives it a rambling feel. Bizarrely the one folkish-song, Desolation Row, happens to be one of the worst of the album, but due to it being a symptom of the excesses heard earlier. A rambling mess, with the final harmonica solo an epitome of the album - straining hard to be heard over the rest of the music, it just entirely grates on the ear. Think I'll just continuing sticking to his first couple of albums
Too soon, yet another Bob Dylan Album, too soon.
too gravel-y
I have tired and tried, but I just don't like Bob Dylan. His voice does nothing for me, so I tried to look at it purely as poetry. Still couldn't connect with the album. I think he has multiple albums on this list, so that is not exciting.
I took a half year break from this list in most part due to Bob Dylan. I was welcomed back to the best and the worst of this list, King Crimson up first to reinforce my decision to come back, and now Bob Dylan to remind me of the annoying depths this list takes me to. Thanks Bob.
do you, mister jones?
A few decent blues songs here, but I can't stand some of the nonsense lyrics and Bob's voice in general.
Sounds unfinished and improvised but has good emotion.
I wish I could learn how to like Bob Dylan. It would make so many things much simpler…
I never really understood why he was so influential. Even the worst covers of his songs sound better than the originals.
Oh god who let this donkey bray into a mouth organ? STOP IT! I guess this is important since he "went electric" on this one, but I have to say it's where all the cliches got set in stone and it was all downhill after here. Bad vocals, awful harmonica, songs that are bitchy rather than incisive, starting EVERY phrase with "WEEEEEeelllllll". Influential without doubt but a worse listen than I was expecting.
Bob Dylan has some good songs but it's on the edge of my music taste.
Not for me
wild ricochet between nice and boring, if only he would leave the harmonica alone...
I cannot stand bob dylans voice
Did guitar tuners exist in 1965? Boy this album is tough to listen to because of the really awful guitar tuning. I know Dylan is a classic, but outside Like a Rolling Stone, the rest of this album is a pass.
Like many others, I have never enjoyed Bob Dylan’s mumbly, nasally, poorly cadenced musical stylings. Also like many, I have been waiting for one of his albums to change my mind because it seems like he influenced a lot of people and maybe I’m just “missing something”. Well, I can’t say that it true because I was just as annoyed with this album as any his others.
Brilliant writer, a true poet. Instrument playing is less than average. Singing is not good. He’s a legend, but I would not listen to this on purpose.
Conocía Like a Rolling Stone. Me pareció un disco que no resaltó, creo que no es un disco para mi. Todas las canciones estuvieron bien pero con ninguna tuve una conexión particular.
einmal im hintergrund gehört, aber nicht wirklich gehört. nicht so meins.
Apart from the screeching out of tune harmonica this wasn't awful
Better than some of his other stuff, but still wouldn't listen to it. 2/5
Jos tässä laulaisi joku muu kuin Dylan niin minähän ihan tykkäisin tästä.
J'aime pas vraiment Bob Dylan :')
Couldn't finish this Bob Dylan album either. At least Like a Rolling Stone is an ok song. Inclined to rate one star, but, although it is apparently a commonly accepted fact that Bob Dylan can't sing for shit, I can see what some people like about his music.
Great songs but I can’t stand his voice.
Better musically, but I still hate Dylan's voice. Every one of his albums is hard to get through because of this.
Don't understand why he is meant to be such a big deal. His vocals are bad and the songs are fine
I'm not a huge fan of Bob Dylan. And here's another singer who looks like an actor. This one Adam Sandler. First song is good Like a Rolling Stone. meh 2 stars
muito uso de gaita me senti num presídio
Great music and interesting vibes, but I’m never a fan of lyricists
2/10
3rd bob dylan album I got and it's just as uninteresting as the other ones
Big meh. Like a couple of his songs but can't stand the album as a whole.
Ugh more bloody Dylan - and even this, as important as people seem to think it is, isn't universally popular - mainly because this bloke just cannot sing
I feel like with each Bob Dylan album that pops up I get slightly more immune to his awful voice, but I still dislike it enough to not give this more than 2 stars
Prolonged exposure to Dylan's singing is damaging to my ears. Small doses are recommended. Stand-out: Like a Rolling Stone
doesnt do it for me
The title track started with a slide whistle. There was a harmonica involved throughout the album. Truly, no artist (and their surrounding acclaim) makes me feel as crazy as Bob Dylan. I don’t understand the appeal, I’ve seen parodies of the man that are more enjoyable than I find his actual music.
When I saw the album started with “Like a Rolling Stone”, I thought I would love the rest of the album. Unfortunately, the songs after that weren’t that interesting. “Desolation Row” might be my second favourite on the album. 2.5 stars
If you like bob Dylan you'll like this. But if you don't it's just him droning on for an hour. All sounds the same. Was fine to start but waiting for it to end
The great thing about Bob Dylan is that he tells a story through his music. My problem with this album is that each song sounded the same. Nothing really stuck out to me. My only comment is, "Yep, sounds like Bob Dylan." There wasn't anything special. Best case, I would put this album on in the background while I have a couple beers. Favorite track was Desolation Row. Did not add to my Spotify library.
Bob Dylan somehow got famous by being both ugly and having a bad voice. This album showcases this feat in all its glory Would not recommend to a friend
I don't like Bob Dylan. It was really hard to get through this entire album. Especially while working out, not only was my body under strain, but my mental and ears were under agony
naporan mi je bob
I’m sorry. I don’t feel it, except for: Like a rolling stone …
Idk I never got really into Dylan. This album did not necessarily change my mind.
1. like a rolling ztone - 1.5 2. tombztone bluez - 1.5 3. a train to cry - 1 4. from a buick - 1 5. Thin man - 1.5 6. Queen. Jane - 1 7. Highway 61 - 1 8. Thumbs blues - 1.5 9. Desolation. - 1.5
Somewhat low and slow. Likely would sound better to someone who has listened to less modern music.
The electrician walks into his kitchen looking at an ostrich baby wishin he could take his unicycle fishin; but mother Mary is carrying her baby with a cigarette that says debt its ashes falling into the pool that was built by the school with a sign that says "only for the politician" See, I can do it too. You can just stop after the first song with this one.
it was okay, not really my style but quite catchy but also repetitive
Giving it 2 stars for writing. I can't get into anything else about the album myself.
Never understood all the hype about Dylan, and I have friends who think he walks on water. Maybe it was the right music for the time, but it wasn't right for me. Honestly, 3 songs in I'm so bored and his voice is as annoying as I remember. The whole thing feels amateurish, and I know it isn't.
Interesting lyrics at times, but Dylan's vocals are nasal, whiny, and scratchy. My favorite is "Like a Rolling Stone" though, and this album is an all-around groundbreaking piece of music. However, I just don't like how his voice sounds. Instrumentals are really good.
A Lot of Yap but classic Bob Dylan.
Not the bob Dylan era I like most but Pretty good, high 2.
Before listening to this, Bob Dylan was an artist I had just never got around to listening to before, so this was my first time listening to an album of his. And maybe I'm missing something, but I must say I'm not a fan. I am obviously aware of how famous and influential Bob Dylan is, so I really wanted to like this, but I just don't. I have always known that he was notorious for being a bad singer, and people say he makes up for it by having really good instrumentals and great politically charged lyrics. But not only did I not find myself being entertained by the music itself, but while listening to the lyrics I didn't manage to find any captivating political themes. Do I just need to listen to the lyrics more carefully and do a better job at decoding them or something? The only song I feel I truly enjoyed on this album was Ballad of a Thin Man, that had some interesting things happening on it. And I suppose Desolation Row had a few cool things to offer too, but I definitely don'y think it needs to be 11 minutes long. Not to mention the use of harmonicas in that song, and also Queen Jane Approximately are so ear grating and annoying. I'm going to keep this album in consistent rotation over the next few weeks because like I said, I do really want to like this, so I'm hoping that it can grow on me, and I might check out more of Bob Dylan's stuff too in the hopes that it's only this album that I don't like. But going purely off first impressions, I really did not like this.
Started my bob dylan journey strongly disliking him. I now moderately dislike him.
Better than I'd expected. The songs are better than on some of Dylan's other work. Still the same hollaring, nasal, tuneless warble though - but listenable and even enjoyable in places. (I think he should've been a poet, not a musician.)
Sorry okay!
A line from QUEEN JANE APPROXIMATELY sums this up nicely; “And you’re sick of all this repetition”. Too many verses, too many stream of consciousness words, too many boring harmonica fills, too many indecipherable pitches and melodies. More like too many inexplicable accolades. Out of tune guitars, out of tune singing - and this is an all-time “great” album? Not in my estimation.
2. Seriously, another Bob Dylan on thid list?! So over his music.
Still not sure Dylan is my thing, but I can see his relevance in music culture.
Honestly liked it more than I thought I would
A few OK songs but otherwise endless suffering.
I don't hate Dylan's voice like a lot of people do, but this one still doesn't do it for me outside of "Like a Rolling Stone".
Getting a Bob Dylan album in this list is like being told you have to sit next to your aunt’s tiresome second husband at thanksgiving. You go into it hoping it won’t be like last year and everyone says he’s a good guy, but he monopolizes the conversation and you’re bored to tears while all the good times are happening elsewhere. Outside of “Like a Rolling Stone” it’s more typical, self-indulgent Dylan with unnecessary harmonica solos.
A lot of droning on and on. Bob Dylan’s voice gets on my nerves. Nothing terrible about this album, but I don’t see why it’s so great. Had a rough time getting through it as it was starting to grate on my nerves.
ganz gut für bob dylan
Not my kind of blues
Close to 100 days before I finish the project and I’m still getting Dylan albums. The tragedy of this one is I think it would be great if the songs were half the length - there’s some great guitar, and Bob’s voice is tolerable enough to where the basic melodies and compositional ideas work pretty well. It’s when each track goes on for six to seven minutes at a time, a seemingly never-ending purgatory of nasal whine, that my patience was tested. Do that for every track to the tune of an hour and now you’ve just made me mad (but that’s still a better emotion than bored).
Oy. Yes, Dylan is important to music history and songwriting. But, Jesus, I do not like listening to his voice. Overall, this skews more honky tonk than I can handle. This album is not for me, at all. Stopped early.
I dont even know what to say. The sun is not yellow it is chicken. That is all. I can’t even comprehend how to rate this
After two albums, I can list the ingredients needed for your typical Bobby song: 1. Play a loopy acoustic guitar melody. Keep playing the melody the entire time. 2. Bob proceeds to word-vomit about the latest adventures of his imaginary friends during a drug-induced psychosis. 3. Harmonica outro.
Meh
I just can stand his voice. Music is OK if not my thing. With a different vocalist I wouldn't mind being a guest and having someone put this on.
Didn't enjoy at all. Thought I might enjoy it at least musically as I know I can't hack Dylan's vocals but the screechy harmonica solo's pute off
Gave it a shot, but not really my thing.
Jaaaa. Like a Rolling Stone is natuurlijk heerlijk. Bij From a Buick 6 had ik wel even genoeg mondharmonica gehad. Ballad of a Thin Man is heerlijk slepend, van genoten. Na Queen Jane Approximately had ik wel even genoeg gehoord. Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues vond ik minder dan Desolation Row, die was wel te doen. Een aantal leuke nummers, verder niet echt mijn ding.
So, I added a couple songs, but could only really listen to this one twice. The songs meander too much and just sound like Bob just saying random stuff and trying to make it sound musical.
Um, pretty Dylanesque. Sounded very samey.
Gotta tell you… every Bob Dylan song sounds good until he begins to sing.
Dylan is a great songwriter but not a great singer
Today I learned I don't care for Bob Dylan. Don't get me wrong, the man can really wail on that harmonica, but something about that voice of his is a bit grating. At least a little too much to listen to an entire album straight. Maybe if I peppered some songs into other playlists.
Poeh ik wordt zo zenuwachtig van die mondharmonica pls doe m weg. Begin van t album was zo erg nog niet maar wordt steeds erger en de nummers zijn zooooo lang
Not for me
After reading the bio for this album I was excited but after listening I'm not too sure why this is considered one of the best albums of all time. It was a good album but something about the sound wasn't doing it for me. Bob Dylan has an interesting singing style but the lyrics don't come together the best. I do appreciate the important of the lyrics here, its definitely trying to say something that could be uncovered after several listens. It's interesting how this might have sounded amazing to older generations but for me the appeal isn't really there. Maybe the story that its trying to tell doesn't relate as strongly to me as more modern albums do. Musical trends do vary with time and realizing this was made in 1965 tells me that this was made for a different time and generation, a time capsule if you will.
Yeah, can't remember what I wanted to say about this sorry. But I didn't hate it.
He is undoubtedly clever, well-read, and thoughtful. But to my ears he is a musical fraud. His harmonic structures are banal; 12-bar blues or Pete Seeger I-IV-V structures ad nauseam. At most only slight variations within a song between verse - chorus. No bridges to be found. Over the course of 15 verses every song becomes torturous. He occasionally developed the bones of a great melody, only to abandon it to his trademark pitch bends at the end of every phrase. It's as if he never had interest in developing the discipline required to complete and perfect a melody. To my ear he sounds almost disdainful of musicality. For example, the out of tune guitar on Queen Jane - there are so many ways to introduce dissonance (maj/min, dim, half dim chords, min 7, tri-tone, b9, etc.) And Willie Nelson demonstrated that you can bring them into folk-style music. But understanding of the use of those requires dedication, discipline and care. Far simpler just to detune a fifth of the band and call it art. Lyrically, while he is unquestionably gifted, I find he is more committed to demonstrating his mental prowess and breadth of education than in communicating ideas and emotions. And again, the length of the songs. He doesn't use that length to create narrative. He uses it to build layer upon layer of depth to a core idea. It's like a 15 layer butter cream cake. Two/three layers is plenty in the hands of a disciplined and more considerate master.
I don’t think I’ll ever love a Bob Dylan album but this was fine. Rolling Stone is a great song. The rest is fine
Only listened to 2 songs but I feel I got he whole package... Harmonica and organ are awesome but highly repetitive 6 minute songs aren't
I get it, Robert D is kind of a big deal. I just can't stand his sound.
Not my cup of tea. His voice is so grating and drone like.
I really hate the Bob Dylan inflection and Cadence and it makes this a tough album to get through.
Meh.
Yeah, it's fine
not my cup of tea
Like a Rolling Stone - Pretty strong Bob Dylan vibes right at the get go. - Lots of Own/Home/Known/Stone rhyming here. - Pretty meh for my tastes 2/5 Tombstone Blues - I like the beat to this one more, much more upbeat and my speed. - Lyrics are still weird with simple rhymes. Better than Track 1. - Again meh for my taste 3/5 It Takes a lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry - Much more Blues vibes. - Just didn't feel like listening to the whole thing. - 2/5 From a Buick 6 - My lord the harmonica - 0/5 Ballad of a Thin Man - Painfully slow. Not entirely sure how this man made music. - At least a decent beat to it. - 2/5 Queen Jane Approximately - Ahh more Harmonica!? - What are these lyrics? Invatations? Bandits that you turn your cheek to? - 1/5 Highway 61 Revisited - What in the unholy hell is that slide whistle? - Again what are these lyrics? - At least more upbeat. 2/5 Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues - Started off with good beat and vibes. Hoping for a good one. - Killed it with more Harmonica - 1/5 Desolation Row - At least some nice guitar in the background. - What is it with your weird lyrics Bob? - 11 minutes and harmonica... Why Bob, why? - 1/5
Thanks to the opener, "Like a Rolling Stone" I decided to listen, as I am not a fan of Dylan - his voice mostly... I saw him in the 80's and he was awful! He played each song back to back without any sense of care for the crowd. I have a negative respect for him since. We'll see how far I get with this listen... I couldn't listen to it. Did about 10 seconds per track. Done.
Dylan's voice is so, so bad it makes me wanna do unspeakable things. If you wanna listen to these, mostly decent to good songs, look up some covers of them. Only way to enjoy Dylan is to listen to versions of Dylan songs that he ain't on.
Había escuchado algún que otro tema suelto pero escuchando un álbum entero me di cuenta de la influencia que ha tenido su voz y forma de cantar en la música. Escuche coletazos en Lennon, Jagger, Oasis, Artics Monkeys, Calamaro, Kweller, etc. No creo que todas sean influencias directas pero creo que tiene mucho que ver. Temas largos y repetitivos (verso-estribillo x8). Me canso pero no porque no me gusten los temas sino porque la mayoría podría durar la mitad (o menos). Le voy a poner un 2 por lo repetitivo. Lo volvería a escuchar.
I want to like Bob Dylan but I don't
Bobby Dee! Let's see what the original mumble rapper has to offer this time! This is fine, I'm not a big fan but I do own this so I must have enjoyed it at some point
Cuando lo importante de un álbum son las letras, y a veces se descuida el resto, es difícil apreciarlo en una primera escuchada siendo no nativo del idioma, además de ser sonoramente demasiado country para lo que me gusta
Still not feeling Bob Dylan. Prefer his lyrics as the spoken word
This isn't terrible, but it isn't very good. It doesn't live up to its 3.81 average rating so far at all. The lyrics are good. It would have been better as a collection of poetry. But it's music, so the music matters. The songs are way too long. Not enough going on to keep my attention. He's not a very good singer. Guitars are out of tune half of the time. But it's listenable. I can imagine it was quite something when it was new though. Favorite song: Ballad of a thin man.
I found this to be not good. That is all. Sorry liad bud
This album has Rolling Stone and that's it. Kind of a stinker. Rolling Stone is absolutely iconic though, and still slaps to this day.
