Bob being Bob
A must have for any music fan. This may have been Dylan at his peak.

The past and the future
This album is Dylan's Rosetta Stone,
the key to his past and future. Subterranean Homesick Blues and Maggie's Farm are the folkie protest songs gone psychedelic and electric.
And the accoustic songs aren't just old school, "It's all right Ma" ends the Easy Rider movie. "Mr Tamborine Man" has been covered by everyone from the Byrds to Star Trek's William Shatner, and Gonzo Journalist Hunter Thompson requested that it be played at his funeral.
"It's All Right Now,
Baby Blue" predicts the Corporate Co-opting of the underground scene with the line "the empty handed painter from the streets, is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets". I started listening to Dylan at age 13 and I appreciate and understand his music more and more as I get older.

The Lyrical Genius of Bob Dylan
This album is one of the finest examples of the genius that is Bob Dylan. The way he uses insane imagery to convey messages is fantastic and just shows how skilled e actually is. Songs like "Gates of Eden", "It's Alright Ma...", and Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" are filled with intelligence and wit that shadows anyone who dares contend with them.

A real ear opener
Of all the 16 BD titles released in SACD, this one surprised me the most, in the sonics department. For some reason, Highway 61 Revisited did not recieve similar treatment - with that one, I find the improvement over the CD to be marginal. With Bringing it All Back Home, however, I was floored - I had not heard such realistic acoustic guitar, or such a full bottom end (on the electric tracks) before, and certainly did not expect such sonic improvements as are evident on this release. If you like Dylan's 60's work, and don't have a SACD player, I'd advise you to get one - and this SACD now!

My #1 album!
This is the greatest album of all time in my opinion!! If I was stranded on a deserted island and I could only have one album - this would be the one! All the songs on here are so magnificent and the lyrics are so poetic its just amazing! I think "Mr. Tambourine Man" is the greatest song in popular music culture and "Love Minus Zero", "Maggie's Farm", "Subterranean", "It's Alright Ma" and "It's All Over Now" are all Dylan staples that will never grow old! I would call this album #1, Blonde On Blonde #2, and Highway 61 Revisited #3.
