1001 Albums Summary

Many call this his greatest album. While I agree its great, it isn't his best in my opinion. Track By Track Review: Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 - A fun song to start with. Nothing amazing or awful. Very fun as I mentioned. Good humour. 7/10 Pledging My Time - Forgettable. I'm always surprised when this plays. It also feels like a chore to listen to. 5/10 Visions Of Johanna - A better Song than the other 2. It's vocally pleasing. Lyrically, it's quite intricateand amazing. 7.5/10 One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) - A favourite of mine. An absolute gem in the album. A classic 60's rock song. It is one of my favorite Dylan songs. 8/10 I Want You - Another one I forget about, but absolutely love listening to. It's a great song vocally and lyrically. I reccomend giving this a listen. 7.5/10 Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again - My favorite on the album. Lyrically it's extremely intricate and at times quite funny. This is another song I reccomend everyone listens to. This song will likely appear on my spotify wrapped. Very amazing song. It's near 10 minutes long but doesn't feel like it. 10/10 Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat - Dylan really uses humour here on this less than serious track. It's a fun song. There isn't much else to say. 7/10 Just Like A Woman - My Nan's favorite. This song is vocally pleasing. The instrumentals are beautiful. Possibly more drug references here (Verse 2.) A very good, well rounded song. No hate here. 7/10 Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) - It's alright. I like how Dylan uses his voice here. 6.5/10 Temporary Like Achilles - Again, it's aight. A bit worse than the previous and very forgettable. 6/10 Absolutely Sweet Marie - I like this one more. Quite interesting lyrically. It's sonically pleasing. 7.5/10 Fourth Time Around - A pattern has occurred. I do not remember this song. It's actually quite good. It's sonically pleasing. Lyrically great too. 7/10 Obviously Five Believers - Sounds like it'd be a better fit on Bringing It All Back Home. It isn't bad at all, but doesn't quite fit here. It's a nice enough song. I do like it. 6.5/10 Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands - A beautiful song dedicated to his then partner Sara Lownds. An 11 minute ballad that feels like a whole journey. It's a masterclass in not trading length for good writing. An amazing end to the album. 9.5/10 Final Thoughts: It's mostly really good. A few forgettable songs, but mostly amazing. The highs are high, and so are the lows. An overrated album for sure, but not a bad one. My overall ranking is: 7.3/10. Very Good.
