I agree in that Blonde on Blonde is by far the weakest. It has only a couple of of tracks that stand out (such as I Want You and Visions of Johanna). The longer tracks do tend to be rather mundane, as Dylan seems to lack the explosive energy of the previous two albums.

Bringing it all Back Home is for me his finest moment, as he blends the wonderful arrogant finger-pointing of his earlier protest days with a more mature poetic writing. The electric dimension is for me just the icing of the cake. Plus it contains his best and most complete song, "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"; nothing he ever wrote before or after comes close to that masterpiece.
