5.0 classic | GimmeShelter | March 23rd 10 | One of the great albums of all-time. The Band create a fantastic debut with classics like "Up On Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." A fantastic first album to what would turn out to be one of the great bands ever.

4.0 excellent | Gene Gol CONTRIBUTOR | August 8th 23 | Cleaner and more refined than their debut, featuring more questionable lyrics and themes, but ultimately a miles ahead grander record and about as solid as late-60s can get.

3.0 good | kheman1317 | July 6th 19 | I've listened to better folk albums with better music than in this one. Most of the songs are average. To me the songs that stood out were "Up On Cripple Creek" and "King Harvest". I found Across the "Great Divide", "When You Awake" and "Jawbone" to be decent enough for multiple listens.

3.5 great | lz41 | January 28th 16 | I can understand why The Band were important at the time of release... hearing 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' at a time when America was being hurled headlong into a future that never eventuated must have been a decent reality check. But why they've endured? Well, they can thank Bob Dylan for that.

0.0 | altertide0 | August 25th 15 | If Music from Big Pink is the blueprint for roots rock, then The Band is its masterpiece. No other album is so convincing at sounding like a group of drunkards in a bar in the evening, singing stories of love, war, the past... life. At first seemingly poppy and oversimplified, the album takes time to sink in, but when it finally does, well, it'll be hard to get "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" or "When You Awake" out of your head - and for a good reason.

4.5 superb | chido | December 28th 12 | This album is kinda similar to their first work, but the second side sometimes seems unmemorable or weaker. Still, a masterful work from The Band

2.5 average | Cvrst_Drums | February 15th 09 | The songs are pretty good but "Across the Great Divide" is the only one that I really like. I'm not a big fan of Country although it is rock music, it feels like too much like country. "So I guess I'll call up my big moma and tell her I'm rollin in."
