Well, I was both expecting and hoping to hear Bob Dylan's first actual disaster, but all I got was a pretty underwhelming album that doesn't really need the hate it gets.
Okay, I get it, another cover album, only this time it has the added bonus of the label being complete scumbags and going behind Dylan's back and collecting scrapped recordings from his previous couple of LPs so that they could make some quick money.

An incredibly fine, okay, average, mid covers album, but I don’t understand why so many people make such a big deal out of it- it’s not even worse than Self Portrait
