MA
STER
PIECE.

Not one even remotely weaker song, great sound, lyrics to boost, great fun too. My favorite with Blonde On Blonde.

Yep, masterpiece. Gates Of Eden and It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) are two of my favourite Bob Dylan songs too.

Great great album! The first album when Dylan went electric, only halfway, but still. The first half is great interesting rock songs. Really has their Dylan stamp. Subterraenean homesick Blues is classic. And Live minus Zero and She Belongs to me are just sublime and ethereal expressions of love(...I think)

Side 2 is also great! Tracks 7-10 are all great, classic tracks. It's Alright Ma, I'm only bleeding may be my all time fave Dylan song. Def in my top 5 anyway. Just vicious, rebellious songwriting! Tht song is just so angry!!!

Anyway, some songs on here aren't all time great for me, but still really good (Maggie's Farm, Outlaw Blues) but overall it is masterful!

In other words a pretty standard Dylan albu. He released nothing but classics basically from '63-'69.

Yeah, this album is stunning. Maybe my favourite 60s Dylan album, I love both the rock and the folk tracks. I don't often see people talk about "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", but I felt its power from the first time I listened to it, and years later (and after covering it on my guitar AND my keyboard a thousand times) it remains one of my very favourite Dylan tunes. If not for the awkward title, maybe it could've been a huge hit at the time, it's pretty simple and catchy, except for the lyrics which you can draw something new from after every listen.

Just some trivia, on the coffee table you can see the corner of a copy of Robert Johnson King of The Delta Blues Singers.

'Love Minus Zero/No Limit' is actually incredible. As is the rest of this album, come to think of it.

I tracked down the alley behind the Savoy Hotel where Dylan filmed Subterranean Homesick Blues, and did my own homage (or 'art project' as my wife called it). Good times.

Brilliant album. Perhaps his best.

Fantastic album. It may be my least favorite of the trilogy it forms with Highway 61 and Blonde On Blonde, but it's still breathtaking. Dylan is God.

Really great album actually.
