5.0 classic | Iai EMERITUS | June 26th 06 | Our culture has taught us to believe that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Why, then, has a woman never written a record quite like - and quite as good as - Blood On The Tracks? Spurred on by his divorce, Dylan wrote the best album of his career with this. He may have a brave face on, attacking the ex brutally on "Idiot Wind" ('It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe'), but the wistful, metaphorical "Tangled Up In Blue" reveals right at the outset just how much it hurt him. That's nothing to the conclusion of "If You See Her, Say Hello", mind. 'If she's passin' back this way/I'm not that hard to find/Tell her she can look me up/If she's got the time....' Magical.

5.0 classic | Jerre | September 21st 09 | It’s still absolutely amazing how this record stands above all other albums, even after so many times of listening and after so many other records recorded. It is a truly timeless masterpiece and can stand to any piece of art created by humanity throughout the ages. It has so much personal appeal while at the same time it is absolutely universal and reveals the most relevant feelings which are common to all human beings, with their genuine love of life, searching for the good, the true and the beautiful, and with the accompanying heartaches and broken promises. It is this record which makes people actually be happy for NOT being special and being the priviledged witnesses of the very common things life is about. Even single lines in it, out of context, make it to perfection and could only be worsened by adding or leaving words. Think about quotes as: ‘I see you in the sky above, in the tall grass, in the ones I love’ or ‘in a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm, com in she said I’ll give you shelter from the storm’. The themes covered come -with a little effort- even close to a religious content which could as well have been from a divinely inspired “poet from the 13th century”. It is the only album truly written “in the key of life” and in my opinion no one, (not even Dylan himself) ever reached this incredible level of mastercraft that really “walks a razor’s edge”. By listening and listening again and again you can witness ‘an artist’ of our times , a unique human being that is able to express a content which is the A to Z of what truly matters in a human life in a perfectly beautiful and skillfully crafted form. Blood on the tracks breaths the air of the essence of human existence, passed on throughout the ages and which will make it definitely into the coming centuries to the status of permanent human heritage. If anything should be send into space, for aliens to be able to understand what’s going on on this planet before they ask for the manager, it should definitely be this record.

5.0 classic | lz41 | August 27th 13 | 'Blood on the Tracks' is ten love songs. None of them are soppy. Or cliched. Or self-absorbed. Each one of them says something true about the human existence, and it is truly remarkable that Dylan constructed an acoustic masterpiece, his first since 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'. One of the best three albums of his legendary career. Best songs are 'Tangled Up In Blue', 'Idiot Wind', 'If You See Her, Say Hello' and 'Simple Twist of Fate', but, in all honesty, an album whose worst song is the excellent 'Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts' deserves its classic status wholeheartedly.

5.0 classic | olbatboy | April 18th 12 | Every song is a poem. Every song is different. Every song is filled with so much emotion. This is Dylan's best lyrical album. It's not protest, it's raw emotion.

0.0 | Med57 EMERITUS | June 23rd 06 | Breaking up isn't fun under any circumstances. Breaking up with your wife, in most cases, really sucks. Bob Dylan always denied that this album was explictly about his split with his wife, but the lyrics are such that it's quite frankly evident that he's lying. Blood On The Tracks may not be the most Dylan-sounding of Dylan albums, but in terms of providing the soundtrack to a painful breakup, there has quite simply never been an album made to rival it.

5.0 classic | charlopiano | April 29th 21 | Girls who say that Taylor Swift has written the best breakup songs ever clearly haven?t heard this album. It?s always been my favorite Dylan project, because I feel like it?s him at his most personal. After a time where critics and fans were quite critical of Dylan, and a divorce with his wife, he made the greatest comeback album of all time. He?s so emotive and his lyricism is so on point. It?s the kinda album to show Dylan haters, to prove them wrong. It has one of my favorite lines in any song ever: She was born in spring, but I was born too late, blame it on a simple twist of fate. Whereas Highway 61 was great, it doesn?t hit me in the feels the way Blood On The Tracks. It?s the greatest singer/songwriter making the greatest singer/songwriter album of all time.

5.0 classic | BlitzPhoenix98 | August 18th 20 | Without any question, Bob Dylan's most mature and gut-punching album yet. After years of alienating listeners, this album unleashes a new and broken Bob Dylan, one that has shown here the post-breakup emotions and feelings of a human being. It is highly recommended to prepare a pack of tissues for this one!

2.5 average | PedroH | October 19th 11 | Am I the only one to consider the vocals too bad? What about all the songs sounding the same?... "Shelter
from the storm" and "Buckets of rain" are enjoyable. Dylan saved the best for last

5.0 classic | noisy | September 12th 10 | Dylan puts his heart and soul into an album and instead of writing political songs or clever metaphors, he just lays his emotions out on the table and shows everybody that he's a fucking master.

5.0 classic | acedrums | September 24th 09 | I give the New York Sessions version full marks. I have not heard the full album in its standard shape, but the simple guitar/bass/organ/harmonica versions of You're A Big Girl Now and Idiot Wind are timeless. I wish he had left the tracks that way for the main release.

3.5 great | Cvrst_Drums | February 16th 09 | Bob Dylan's Rock/Country/Blues genre of music had a win moment with "Blood On The Tracks". The Beginning is great and then the last song "Buckets Of Rain" is very good. I hope to get more great Bob Dylan CD's like this one.

4.5 superb | brandtweathers | January 11th 08 | Has Bobby D gone emo? In a sense, yeah... for all the right reasons. Following a shocking divorce (which seems to always be mentioned alongside this album) Bob managed to stop his entire career and turn to look back, focusing his gathered skills to create the best of bob dylan in a brand new form. Nobody has done so much as Bob Dylan and this happens to be a masterful centerpiece to his incredible career. Next time life life has you cornered and you've had enough, turn off simple plan and listen to tangled up in blue... next time girl problems happen forget about senses fail and try idiot wind. The words will carry like none other.

0.0 | Rocksta71 | August 28th 07 | Dylan's 1975 album Blood on the Tracks is easily my favorite dylan album right up there with highway 61 revisited. These songs are just beuatiful and sorrow-filled and overall making for my favorite dylan album. I recommend that anybody should buy this album because its Dylans finest.
