| | Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | Blood on the Tracks is the one album that rises above all other contenders, obscuring them in its titanic blaze, because it is, at once, so familiar as well as mysterious, and so seemingly simple and yet unruly. |
 | | As such, in its most assertive moments -- for Blood on the Tracks is mostly a subdued affair of discreetly wavering impressions -- the albums is either a concoction from a sorcerer's brew of ill content or the ugly remains from an unruly carnival. |
 | | This is why Blood on the Tracks, like any great surviving recordings from the pre-modern era (the Carter Family, Dock Boggs, Clarence Ashley, to name of few), feels both familiar and foreign, personal and detached, for everyone and for no one at the same time. |
