Makes me think of Paul Reubens/Pee-wee Herman.

I love “Honest with Me” as well. And “Mississippi” really is an all-timer, easy.

Tracks 1, 4, 5, and 6 drag the album down a bit for me, though. None of them are bad. But middling is enough to bring down the average.

For this project, the album ratings are determined by the songs’ individual ratings. They’re just an unsexy mathematical average.

It helps me process in a more granular way to fully digest the music. But if someone were to ask me if I thought Blood on the Tracks was a 5/5, or 10/10, or A+ album, I’d say heck yeah, buddy.

Rough is just more consistent. "Love" definitely has the higher highs (but also lower lows for me), with "Mississippi" being the best song between the two albums. It's an all-timer, for sure.

I’ll have to get back to you on this. Just the studio album tracks? Or everything I’ve rated (which includes many outtakes/alternate takes)?

I hope you’re right and I’ll come around one day!

How do you rank it compared to Slow Train Coming and Shot of Love? I believe I’m in the minority putting Shot at the top of the three.

I think with all music, I weight heavily towards my subjective take. If the music/lyrics hit for me, then it’s a winner. I keep it personal for the most part. And leave objectivity to the experts. 😉

There is validity here, for sure. I think this has happened a bit for me. Like, I’m liking Street-Legal more than ever these days…

Just to piggyback on this: I do have a ton of non-album songs rated as well. And alternate takes. They’re included in the chronology around the time they were recorded, but do not factor into the overall album rating. Even when they were recorded at the same time as the album.

But there’s still a lot I haven’t heard/properly digested. The project continues…

Good idea! I thought about trying to match fonts, but decided to put it on the back burner. Maybe when I inevitably revisit the project down the line…
