1001 Albums Summary

Wavered between 3 and 4, didn’t completely blow me away but definitely some beautiful stuff on here. The hits are famous for a reason, the playing is beautiful throughout, and the production is clear warm early 70s perfection

I could tell there was quality here and I enjoy a good amount of Nick Caves other albums. Would need a few more listens to really get into it I think, 4 stars nonetheless

Punishing even in 2026, I can see how this was a big deal in the 80s. Definitely takes more from the punk side of thrash compared to a band like Metallica, this album knows not to overstay its welcome. Unfortunately it’s also not nearly as memorable as Metallica’s best for me. Borderline 4, but I don’t see myself returning to it that much.

Overall not my favourite Dylan album, but has some of his best songs. Tracks 3-8 is a great run. Not a big fun on his 12 bar blues songs, he’s much better on tracks like Johanna or Sad Eyed Lady

It’s good, borderline great (a 4 on a good day) but just doesn’t stack up to Lightning or Puppets, and also doesn’t have the hardcore speedy energy of their first album. That plus the weak production makes for a just okay listen overall, despite having some strong songs
