Apologies BH and I may have missed the boat but please can I place a score of 5.5 (so a 6)?

Few songs I really enjoyed, the rest I could have been listening to anyone (although like a lot of others have said, I do like Rogers vocals).

Looking forward to returning into their other albums which people have suggested are better..............
 
Loved this one for years, first heard cant get enough on Waynes World 2 and have never forgotten it. Not even the best song on the album so big thumbs up from me

Bringing It All Back Home (known as Subterranean Homesick Blues in some European countries) is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released on March 22, 1965, by Columbia Records.

The first half of the album features electric songs, followed by a mostly acoustic songs in the second half. The album abandons the protest music of Dylan's previous records in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics. On side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric rock and roll band—a move that further alienated him from some of his former peers in the folk music community.

The album reached No. 6 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, the first of Dylan's LPs to break into the US top 10. It also topped the UK charts later that spring. The first track, "Subterranean Homesick Blues", became Dylan's first single to chart in the US, peaking at No. 39. Bringing It All Back Home has been described as one of the greatest albums of all time by multiple publications.


1. Subterranean Homesick Blues
2. She Belongs To Me
3. Maggie's Farm
4. Love Minus Zero / No Limit

10. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
11. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue


Here we go! Review No 7 - And... it is one of my favourite albums of all time. I've always put Blonde On Blonde as my favourite Dylan album but having heard this again after many years - i forgot just how good it is.
Dylan is at his creative best and he is transitioning from a folk singer to a rock star - the first half of this album is filled with his electric side, a huge shift from where he began and one that was not welcomed initially by his fans - the second half is stripped back acoustic Dylan but all songs he is at his lyrical best and makes it all sound so effortless and easy . So many classics on here to choose from - 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' 'Mr Tambourine Man' 'She Belongs To Me' and the final track which tipped this from a 9 to 10 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' one of my favourites songs of all time.


The empty handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is fallin' in over you
And it's all over now, baby blue
Leave your stepping stones behind
There's something that calls for you
Forget the debt you've left
That will not follow you
Your lover who has just walked through the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is foldin' over you
And it's all over now baby blue

Quite simply 'Bringing It All Back Home' is a masterpiece.

anyhow, give this a go and score out of 10 by the end of next week.

This placed 189 out of the Top 1000

10/10

Have a good weekend Blues

I agree with @BimboBob ... Dylan is without question one of the most influential musicians of the 20th Century. His lyrics, insight and songs are absolutely superb...but I can't stand his voice. He is a superb songwriter though, there's absolutely no question about it.

I love Subterranean Homesick Blues when it's sung my him, and what a song to open an album. But after the first few songs I've had enough of the voice. I honestly prefer nearly every song he wrote when it's sung by other people.

7/10 ... would be 10/10 but I find his voice really grating.
