An amazing album form a person some considered washed at the time of this release. Not only did it change that opinion, I’d consider this a top ten Dylan album of all time. That’s saying a lot.

Rated 4/10

Nootttt for me. I’d call this horse shit, but I’d hate to offend horse shit.

Can’t lie. At an hour run time this was a tough listen. Very dated and also bloated with skits. Missy upped her game later, but this particular time effort is not worthy of this list.

Is it sloppy? Yes. Is the singing and musicianship good? No. But that’s the point. The messages would not be the same played by Julliard students. Much respect for inspiring a lot of musicians and albums I love.

You know what? I enjoyed this. I knew the hits but the other songs were good too. Time After Time is an all timer. Fun album. I had Britney Spears debut last week and this one blows it away.

Rated 10/10

I was the perfect age when this came out….8th grade. Made a huge impression. I can remember the first time I ever saw the “Teen Spirit”video. Easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was ok. I’m a huge fan of 60s rock and definitely familiar with these guys. It sounds promising.. equal parts Dylan and Beatles, but doesn’t approach either in quality or timeliness.

Wasn’t sure what to expect and I loved it I appreciate jazz and keep growing an interest in it and this was the perfect soundtrack to begin my work day. Added to my list of vinyl to buy.

Meh. It’s ok. I grew up with my parents listening to Chicago and even have seen the live twice. Good musicians, don’t get me wrong. The hits and solid. The rest is too long and that guitar feedback part is just terrible.

I know giving this one 4 stars and not 5 is a hot take. I understand it’s beauty and what Brian put into it. That said, 5 stars are reserved for such a rare amount of albums that it just falls short for me.
