Question: How do you critique basslines?

All right, I'm about to give one of my more plebian takes: I don't know how to critique basslines. As in, I don't know what makes a bassline good or bad or Great, I don't know what I'm looking for.

In your opinion, what makes a capital-G Great bassline Great?

Today in Albums That Exists: "Der Führer: Rock Opera" (1977)

Because everybody has to know about this thing I found:

In 1977, Hamburg composers Walter Quintus and Lothar Siems, and lyricist Gisela Siems, clearly inspired by Jesus Christ Superstar and Tommy, put out a rock opera about Adolf Hitler.

Two things:

One: No, this is not a pro-Nazi record, don't worry about that at all

and

Two: The parts I've heard... surprisingly don't suck.

(Unfortunately, only the first side of Record A is available on YouTube, but I must inform as many people as I can about this album that exists.)
