Blood On The Tracks was considered by the critics to be Bob Dylan’s best album since his heyday in the Sixties. It focuses on emotions and personal relationship problems. (US:1 UK:4)
“Musically speaking, Dylan is getting back to his roots here, swapping the country and rock stylings he had been experimenting with for a while, in favour of folk, mostly with a rhythm section, occasionally with a piano or an organ and just once with an electric guitar. Dylan’s melodies are always at their best when he’s working acoustically.”
“While this was a painful time in Dylan's life, it created some incredible work. Blood On The Tracks gives us something to relate to. When everything seems great with everybody else's life and wrong with yours, then it's time to buy this album. Dylan comes through with the courage to say what's bothering him and mention his insecurities. This becomes an emotional search for truth, done with seriousness, humility and integrity.”
“After a rambling half-decade that had confounded even his most ardent fans, he came back and turned out one of the most flawless singer-songwriter albums of all time. While his previous few albums had seemed all but directionless, this one was filled with intensity and purpose, containing some of the most passionate and finely honed love songs in his canon.”
“Never before has Dylan been this personal and so in tune with listeners. His voice is astounding; every tempo change, eccentric burst, and quiet layover, give the songs a meaning that's never existed before.”
“Blood On The Tracks was a return to form for Dylan. After years of mediocre reception to his albums, this one was universally praised. I'm not the biggest folk-rock fan yet even I can say this album is amazing.”
“The ultimate break-up album. If you're engaged with the music it'll take you on a tour of every failed relationship, romantic or otherwise, that has taken place in your life. It analyzes what went wrong from every possible direction.”
