The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Noioso, confermo che Bob Dylan non fa per me

Can't stand the vocal style not for me, never seen the attraction and knew this one would be a struggle. Didn't change my opinion

No more Bob Dylan please . 5 out of 100

can't stand bob dylan

[2/10] Lord deliver me from this tedious little fellow

There’s so much bad going on in the world today. Being forced to listen to this made it all somehow worse. It is better than the others of his thus far, but a better Bob Dylan album is still a fucking Bob Dylan album.

Country music is not very good. I think this album is bad because I'm not a big fan of country music. I don't like the voice of the singer and it doesn't flow with the guitar in the background. I think the lyrics aren't that good and they don't sound good with his voice or the guitar. I would not recommend this because I feel like the people I'm friends with like the same music as me.

my opinion is I don't like it and I would not recommend it because the first reason is that it's sad. second I don't like like the instruments. Third it just kinda weird. The second one I give a two because I just don't like it for many reasons. Third one I don't like, because its out of pitch and I don't like country songs.

I don't care for americana, country or folk, Dylan is especially bad for my ears, especially in his older age, the nasal gratings are too much for me. Like I've said many a time, I'm not a lyrics forward person and this album is all about lyrics. It literally only has acoustic guitar in the background, "harmonica solos" and not much more. I find it incredibly boring, as far as the music goes.

Terrible. This guy can’t sing, can barely play, and the lyrics are confused. I have no idea what the big deal has ever been.

Bob Dylan has to be the most polarizing artist ever. At any given point he is a random mix of genius, frustration, aggravation, annoyance, and contrived bullshit. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is no exception to this rule. Blowin' in the Wind is a great opening track that sets the expectation high. From there it devolves into classic Bob Dylan fare which only gets worse as you continue to listen to it. It's hard to believe how obnoxious it actually gets in less than an hour. I'm always impressed how an icon of musical history and one of the world's most heralded folk music artists can make me want to punch him in the face so quickly. Bob Dylan is a musical icon for so many reasons. I've heard equal stories of how his shows range from transcendental experiences to absolute horseshit from various sources. For some reason his out of tune rambling is beloved by many fans. For others its a perfect example of how music from generations past is just a bunch of nonsense that doesn't hold up. While I recognize that Dylan has some timeless classics and is certainly a competent song writer, I land further on the side that he's an annoying blowhard who ignored all the advice over the years to shut the fuck up and cut the bullshit. Props to Bob Dylan for keeping it going and somehow carving out his spot in musical history despite the naysayers. I for one will give his stuff a listen when it pops up and quickly file the majority of it in the "what the hell am I missing here?" section. I lament the fact that we are about to see the release of the new Bob Dylan biopic featuring Timothee Chalomet. I expect to be spoonfed 2 hours of horrific bullshit that will surely flood the airwaves with more out of touch Bob Dylan discussions and shitty impressions. Sorry Bob but it's only 1.29 stars from me.

I wasn't overly impressed with this.

When people say they enjoy this I think they are lying. It's dreadful. A painful listen.

я не носитель аглицкого лангуаге - поэтому мне вот эти песни под пару аккордов на акустике с губной гармошкой вообще нихуя не дают. если там и пахнет нобелем - то я его не чую, простите.

I really can't stand this guy...

I'm not listening to Bob Dylan, terrible shit.

Does nothing for me, find the voice grating and depressing.

Ugh....Bob Dylan just can't sing. I get the appeal tho. The fact he was 22 when he made this album is also really cool. I get he was super influential but idk...every cover of a Bob Dylan song is better than his version. The song writing is pretty good but I know it gets better later in his career too (most of this album is covers). Probably more like 1.5 stars Favorite songs: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright and Blowin' in the Wind

God I hate his music

Not as bad as the previous Bob Dylan album I had to endure on this list, but still pretty tedious stuff.

This is probably the worst album I’ve listened to out of the over 300 so far. To beat Notorious B.I.G. is a challenge Old Bob seems to manage quite easily. Certainly one of the most painful albums, I’ve ever had the misfortune to listen to. It’s like a symphony of sharp nails on a row of blackboards, and then combine this with a flock of Magpies to chatter at you for 100 hours non stop. This is the affect this ghastly buskery tramp has on me. I’m trying to give Mr B a fair crack of the whip, but he isn’t compromising with my ears. If I could give this turd a 0 I would.

Pass

Flat af. Idk how he ever took off.

This is the 4th!!! Bob Dylan album. Oh boy, it s not good. I get it, he had a big cultural impact, but doesn't mean he was good. As a song writer he is okay, but as a singer... I don't get the obsession with him. I was bored and annoyed. Hopefully this is the last of his albums i have to listen to.

המפוחית שורטת לי את המח הכתיבה טובה, השירה לא אבל בסדר שירים ארוכים מדי, מרגישים כאילו נמשכים לנצח וממש רפטטיביים. אין חשיבה על לחן. כמו אודיובוק

Goated

Guess I’m a bob Dylan hater, doesn’t have as much nonsensical lyrics but I still don’t like his voice

Christ almighty, how many Dylan albums do we have to hear on this list. I guess if you are a Dylan fan you must be thrilled. But I'm also guessing you did way too much acid in the 60's and have since moved on the meth. Between his voice and way too much harmonica, I was over this album around song #2. I attempted a second listen just in case my personal hatred of all this dude's music impacted my first listen, but after coming close to ripping out my eardrums, it was just best to move on. Pretty confident the only time you get excited for a Cindy Lauper album is when you are currently listening to anything Dylan or Neil Young for that matter. NO MORE DYLAN. Negative score

Sorry Bob I just cannot do it

Oh ok its country, Why so much harmonica I thought there was an alarm in the house Boring, I'm sorry Bob I despise guitar strumming now How am I not halfway yet ffs At this point he's slowly blending into the background Why is Bob Dylan How is Bob Dylan Where is Bob Dylan When is Bob Dylan What is Bob Dylan ''Am i dead. Is this my Wake. Am i in hell''

Bob... sigh.

Not a fan of his.

Blah blah blah. Rambling old man

Didn't even bother. I'm not subjecting myself to the torture of his "singing voice".

I don‘t like singersong-writers. And hither and tither nobel prize, I don‘t like him, his music and attitude.

I can't stand Bob Dylan, his voice is terrible, he is always mumbling and the high-pitched harmonica gets into my nerves

Is Bob Dylan a good songwriter? Yes. Can he paint a beautiful picture? Yes. Can he entertain me enough to listen to a full album of his without wanting to off myself?

No more

Not a Bob Dylan fan

Whiney folk rock not for me. 1/5

boring

I’m not listening to a rubber chicken with a guitar.

Not a Dylan fan

Didn’t finish

I listened to half the album, but my ears are just not appreciating the harmonica or Dylan's voice. It may be great, but i just can't like it. Maybe it's aquired taste, but as of now i have heard enough to know it is not for me.

no just not my style at all - didn't like a single song :)

What drivel

I prefer a vocalist.

Yeah... definitely not my style of music

Didn't listen because I didn't want more bob Dylan

I may be closed-minded, but there is no way I can get myself to sit through an entire Bob Dylan record. I have a few artists/bands on my list that I cannot stand (Dylan, REM, Smashing Pumpkins, Queen) that I will never enjoy - mainly because of their vocal and or harmony style. It is not pleasant to my ears. I played the first track here and remembered what Bob Dylan sounds like and I can tell you right now - this will never get a fair review from me because listening to it is like torture to my ears. I'm sorry. 0/10

the third Bob Dylan album so far. even if war broke out and every record and cd in existence was destroyed aside from any of Bob Dylans discography i wouldnt listen to this

I am not a fan of Bob Dylan

Very basic instrumentation

RAAAAAAAH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅 no drums?? Пресное ничего + ужасная гармоника (всë ещë лучше творчества Высоцкого), мб мой зумерский мозг просто не способен воспринимать блюз-романс, всë время хотелось дремать и заняться чем-то другим. Заслуженная еденица

I don't understand why people like Bob Dylan. In the words of Bob Dylan, this just kinda wasted my precious time.

He's whining again

Definitivamente NO. ¿Los que crearon la lista acaso creen que todos somos de EU y nos mamá el country? q pdo xd. Si se siente lo viejo del álbum, tiene unas letras que no están tan mal, pero dios no soporto ese tipo de género, me siento como un vaquero o una familia americana en un viaje por autopista, q horror. No soporté, panzones.

not for me

absolutely could not get through it

Top 3 Songs: 1 - Blowin' in the Wind (1) 2 - Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (7) 3 - Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance (12)

Just not a fan

It's Bob Dylan. Enough said. Except I'd prefer we weren't subjected to more of his albums. 1 was 1 too many. 2 is a joke.

Sad tired old man plucks some strings, says some words and blows on a harmonica occasionally. ALL TIME GREATEST

I hate you, Bob Dylan

Scale: 1: Dissapointing 2: Didn't enjoy 3: Decent 4: Enjoyed 5: Would listen again (My first impression if not mentioned otherwise in a comment) Blowin’ in the Wind: 1/5, no Girl From the North Country: 1/5, skip Masters of War: 1/5, if next song isn't a banger i'll skip this album Down the Highway: 1/5 Overall: 1/5, couldn't even listen to the full album. People actually listen to this?

alguien quitele esa maldita armónica

1/5 I refuse

Guitar Starts to tell a story Says something weird Harmonica Repeat

I mean it's another Bob Dylan album that sounds like a Bob Dylan album?

Bob Dylan cannot sing. It is truly awful. Why this not recognized more? Therefore, no album of his is a must listen. He may be a serviceable song writer, but this album didn't have that either. A couple of the songs were recognizable but only when sung by a different artist. The album was 50 minutes and that is about 48 minutes too long. I suffered through it. It is better than a one but not really a two. I am rounding down.

Too much harmonica

Too Bob Dylan

I'm just not into dudes mumbling

Slow. Maybe I'm too young for the references. The legend of this album far over shadows it's content.

this ain’t it

Talented artist but not his fan!!!

Kind of boring music until he hits you with that harmonica and gives you lifelong tinnitus. Jesus Christ, why is the harmonica so loud? I had to turn my volume down on "Girl From The North Country" when he started doing his best crying baby impression. This is a horror album. You're just trying to chill but there's jumpscares at every corner. You never know when he's going to start blowing into that rusty piece of metal, permanently destroying your hearing. Man I get the lyrics, being scared of WWIII and all, but the only thing scarier than the existential dread of living in the middle of the Cold War is the existential dread that Bob Dylan could start playing the harmonica AT ANY MOMENT. 1/5 - looking forward to the Bob Dylan kazoo album and the Bob Dylan cowbell album.

Not for me. Maybe another of his will do

It's Dylan.

For every piece of art - whether it is a music album, a book, a movie, etc. - there is at least one person who never gets it. It doesn't matter how the consumers and the critics love it, there is always some people who just hated it. In this case, the influential "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", one of those people is me. Yeah, I know, it's BOB DYLAN. The harmonica driven folk guy who sang the original "All Along the Watchtower" (loved that version - it's the only Dylan song that I knew then), how could someone hate him? I'm surprised by how I hated it myself. It's boring, it's tedious. Yeah, the lyrics might be the meat of this album, but that alone won't make me listen to this. I get his voice and the harmonica interludes, after all that's why I liked the watchtower song. But most of the time, it felt like he was someone screaming random sentences over a guitar track. I kind of liked some of the songs though. The love songs are listenable, at least. And the opening, "Blowin' in the Wind" is popular for a reason. The rest? Naaah. I don't get the hype about those so-called "protest songs." But to be fair, people would probably welcome some soothing music during such terrifying historical event.

Music is shit, voice is shit. I don't even like the lyrics everyone thinks are so great. So not a lot to enjoy for me.

No

Rubbish. Don't see what the hype is about.

While I can appreciate that Dylan was a huge inspiration to a lot of artists, and super popular in his time, I feel that his music does not age well in comparison to artists like the Beatles, RS, Doors, etc. Ultimately I just don't find his music enjoyable to listen to.

Not the biggest fan of folk music but I don't mind individual songs sprinkled in the appropriate setting. I don't want to listen to a whole album of the same sound over and over again.

Pretty bad - even for 1960s

Despise Bob Dylan and despise the fact this is like the fourth Dylan album I’ve had to rate. There must have been a huge fan boi amongst the vote deciders for this list. All Dylan sounds the same...you don’t need more than two albums to discover this. -1000 Stars!

I never connected with this album's style, even though I do like some of Dylan's work. This album does feel outdated, though.

Definitely not my cup of tea. Too country/folk?? Western music?? Sounds straight out of Red Dead.

I just dont like Bob Dylan.

Can't stand his voice

I'm just totally not into this kind of music. Sorry.

Pass

Overall, it's a good album. The first half is definitely much stronger than the second. Everything after "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" is hard for me to get into.

has some good tunes but not my favorite album by Bob

Very nice. True classic folk
