Hi Tom,
There's certainly no accounting for personal taste, but IMHO this ranks just under Highway 61 as the most thoroughly interesting of Dylan's albums from the sixties. I don't know if "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" was considered a hit, but this and "It's Alright, Ma" have to rank as two of his most incisively scathing compositions; and for these two alone, BIABH would have to rate 5 stars if I were reviewing it. So, we differ by only 1 star here — not a lot, I'll grant you. For sound, I'd have to downgrade it to two stars, but based only on comparisons or original sixties pressings.
