"Thin, wild, mercury sound." This is the ecstatic description of 'Blonde on Blonde' coined by Dylan himself and, nearly fifty years after its release, it is still an insurpassably spot-on summation. The songs here are rock 'n' roll, but not as we know it: the cluttered, rollicking, roadhouse sound is the product of Dylan leading a perfectly eccentric band to create songs that are, at best, original, spectacular and inimitable. From the smoky blues of 'Pledging My Time' to the white-hot guitar bite of 'Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat' to the sweeping, regal lines of 'Sad Eyed Lady', this is the album that may define the 'classic Dylan sound.' And note: don't believe the hype that declares that Dylan is only surreal in his lyricism here. There is meaning to 'Visions of Johanna' and 'Just Like A Woman' that is enthralling to investigate and evokative to realise.

Of all of Bob Dylan's 1960's albums, this is his most blues inspired album and a lot of these songs are great blues tracks that could be put up there with many of the greats. Everyone knows that Dylan is a great songwriter, but I was struck by the great blending of different sounds and instrumentation on this album. Song of after song this best and most consistent harmonica playing I've ever heard, without going overboard. Blues Traveler should take note. The only downside with the album is its length which can somewhat hinder the enjoyably of listening to it.

The sound is there. The style is there. The sexiness is there. The song-writer went missing.

Blonde on Blonde flows like a river. On this album, you can tell that Dylan knew he was making a fucking beast of an album.

Essential. This is 1960s Dylan at his peak, possessed by so many ideas that these 14 songs don't quite seem enough to contain them. Just check out "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again" - millions of other songwriters would write 10 songs, or more, if presented with a flash of inspiration like that. Outside of that, there's the romantic and upbeat "I Want You", the tender "Just Like A Woman", the rousing "Sooner or Later (One of Us Must Know)", "Visions of Johanna", "4th Time Around", "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" - classics one and all. Blonde on Blonde isn't quite Dylan's finest moment, but if you aren't yet acquainted with the work of this phenomenal, mercurial talent, it is where your collection should start.

"it's blurry because Dylan was progressing too fast than other artists at the time... People couldn't keep up until he had the motorbike crash"

Probably as close to 4.5 as it comes without being a 4.5. I just feel like Blood on the Tracks and Highway 61 Revisited are so much stronger that it?d feel wrong to give this the same score, though my continually growing respect for Dylan might bring all of their ratings up eventually

As well as being way ahead of it’s time, Blonde on Blonde represents how a cold harsh reality effects us as
people. In this case, the reality is something as banal as Bob Dylan’s wife not loving him.

To my best knowledge, the very first rock music masterpiece. A set of sophisticated, "artsy" songs: from the pop sensibility of "I Want You" and "Just Like a Woman" through the energetic, youthful blues of "Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll Go Mine)" and "Obviously 5 Believers", the philosophical meditations of "Visions of Johanna" up to the overwhelming desperation of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" and, of course, the majestic beauty of the closing twelve-minute poem "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands", this is an extraordinary record.
