Blonde on Blonde is a confident album. The music is solid, straightforward and unpretentious. Bob Dylan's singing is just as confident as the music. The songs are lyrical, poetic, full of meaning worth trying to figure out as you listen.
This is an album worth owning. You also know it's going to be a great album right off the bat with Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. It's riotous and rocking fun. There's not a dull moment after, either, and if there's a song on this album not pulling its weight, then I'm unaware of it.
I'd have to say Bob Dylan has surpassed the Beatles with this album. It's not an experimental album, but the songwriting and lyrics are superior to anything that has been done so far; it challenges other musicians and lyricists to write more mature material. Also, Dylan has really defined the modern album concept with this first studio double album.
★★★★★★★★★★
