It's the culmination of Dylan's electric rock & roll period -- he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again.

Rolling Stone

Blonde on Blonde, released just 15 months after Bringing It All Back Home climaxed the amphetamine rush of Dylan´s mid-´60s glory. Wirede, fried, the ghost of electricity howling in the bones of his face, Dylan was caught in the most intense burst of creativity any rock & roller has ever had.

Perfect album. Great diversity while still holding onto a trademark sound and lyrics.

Ever wonder why so many seniors are hard of hearing? Well, the answer is the harmonica on Pledging My Time. So many people's ears were destroyed by that song. It's a lot like Aphex Twin's Ventolin at points, but completely unintentional. Mr. Dylan needs to be held accountable for his crime of damaging the ears of every poor soul who bought this record.
