A lot of times this album gets slated because it's considered "overly serious" and too topical and, hence, dated. Well, I wouldn't rate it among his absolute best, but the songs are there. I usually like Dylan best when he shows a bit of a sense of humor, but these are serious songs dealing with serious matters and they work well. "When the Ship Comes In" is one of my favorite Dylan songs.

I'm not sure I'll ever hear something that will top this album. My absolute favorite.

Dylan at his most pessimistic (besides Masters of War, that one takes the cake entirely). I think it is enjoyable but I find that Highway 61, Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde, etc. are better, personally.

My favorite album of Dylan's. Every moment of it beginning to end is amazing. I remember my sophomore year of high school my favorite teacher had a poster of this album cover on his classroom wall. That's when I checked it out. So glad he hung that poster up =)

"it is the singer-songwriter’s first collection to feature only original compositions." Actually With God On Our Side is based on The Patriot Game by The Clancy Brothers. Same tune, he just changed the words. http://www.last.fm/music/The+Clancy+Brothers+and+Tommy+Makem/_/The+Patriot+Game

epic, timeless, this is an early masterpiece by a very young singer/songwriter. Wonderful poems.

With God on Our Side is brilliant, so it North Country Blues, Only a Pawn In Thier Game, Boots of Spanish Leather and When the Ship Comes In. to be honest this is probably one of my favourite albums...

Produced by Tom Wilson, it is the singer-songwriter's first collection to feature only original compositions. The album consists mostly of stark, sparsely-arranged story songs concerning issues such as racism, poverty, and social change.Some critics and fans were not quite as taken with the album as a whole, relative to his previous work, for its lack of humor or musical diversity.
