When Paul McCartney said this was one of the 3 best albums he ever listened to, I came into this with HUGE expectations. And i've gotta say, Paul, if you told me Rebecca Black was a generational Female vocalist, i'd believe you. Some people you just dont question their musical opinions. However, in this case. I think me and Paul just have different tastes (hence why he's a musical icon and im here writing reviews lol). I like the instrumentation on this album, and this guy is a cool vocalist to listen to. But i cant ever see myself revisting this album routinely, other than "The Weight" 3/5

Even without the context of this being one of the last Kurt Cobain performances we'd ever get. This is one of the greatest live albums of all time. Its up for debate between this, James Brown at the Apollo, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, The Who at Leeds, and MC5's Kick out the jams. What's not for debate however, is that this forever cemented Kurt as the voice of a generation. Not a voice of a genre that rose, fell and nearly died in a 3 year span. The way this band almost gives these rock songs a new layer of awesomeness and depth with the accoustic setting, is a bar that is almost impossible to reach for future artists (especially in rock). No questions, no debates. This is a 5/5 album

Influence is apparent on future artists.... but those future artists perfected this sound alot better. Cant say this was a great 1st album for my 1001+ albums journey but at least there's 1000 more!

Very Groovy, and the instrumentation is well done. Not my cup of tea, but a very respectable bluesy southern rock album. "Waitin' for the Bus" & "Jesus just left Chicago" are solid finds for me on this album. Admittedly, probably will only spin "La Grange" consistently. 3/5

Appreciate this album and its historical importance. Songwriting masterclass, and a great folk album, and dare i say, a great harmonica album. Good for what it was. 3/5

Not necessarily the most fond of this album, like other Zeppelin records. However, their standard of greatness is as high as any of the greatest bands ever, which objectively, I believe they deserve to be in that conversation. So a less than stellar Zeppelin record, is still a damn good record. Yes, 1,2,4 are in my opinion, better, which seems to be a popular opinion, but that's for a reason. Those 3 are peak Rock music. This lags just behind. 4/5

Twisted, Batshit insane and dark themes. But you cant deny the lyricism, story-telling and the rap ability of Eminem (at least before he started releasing dumb shit like "just lose it"). 4/5

This is the 2nd Bob Dylan Album i've reviewed so far, which is wild considering that i'm only on album 8... almost like the universe telling me that I should be listening to more Bob Dylan... similarly to the last one i reviewed (freewheelin'), This album does everything right musically and lyrically..... but i dont know, Bob Dylan just isn't my taste. Maybe its just the folk genre. I will say, I do believe this is truly required listening for a music appreciator. Just not something i will ever return to consistently. 3/5

The whole idea of this 1001 Album Project was that i was eventually going to find an album that was completely out of my comfort zone in some way. As a mainly Rock fan, i've dabbled in stuff that was a little bit out of my comfort zone. I can confidently say, this was an absolute nose dive out of my comfort zone.... Almost akin to a fat kid eating a grilled chicken Caesar salad. And im not going to lie, i didnt have any interest in this at all. 1/5

Love a good guitar album. And this absolutely is it. Raw, which is to be expected for a debuting Dire Straits, whilst not my absolute go-to band for this type of music, I absolutely appreciate them. 4/5

I almost believe this site is watching my every move. This is album #11 of my 1001+ album journey. Of the first 3, Fred Neil's record, and TWO Bob Dylan Albums.... its like they want me to fall in love with folk music. One of those was Blood on the tracks. Ironically, Pitchfork cited that "Blue is like a companion to Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks—a confessional album very much of its time that endures on the strength of fantastic melodies and musical simplicity." It's as if fate wanted me to listen to this. Well jokes on them, I've listened to this numerous times. Just thought this was a funny story to tell. Most obvious 5/5 album of all time
