I want so badly to like Jimi Hendrix, but he never sounds like I want him to. How's that for messed up

Another album is fine. I really feel like you need to be in the right setting to enjoy this kind of music. Not the best for the work day, but bliss relaxing/being social.

Excuse me while I diss this guy. I’m not a fan of Jimi Hendrix AT ALL. The only reason I’m not giving this a 1 (my “it shouldn’t have been included” rating) is because music critics and time clearly feel otherwise.

Sounds Like Jimi - Would I listen to this album again... prob not

Not as good as I thought it would be for a famous man

Take 1 star off for the almost 2 min noises in the first track.

Not my favourite Hendrix album

Left me a little cold. Spooky intro song though

even more trippy than "experience", not my jam, but I respect the innovation and expertise

Never been a massive Hendrix fan. The album is ok, but much prefer other artists from this era. 2/5

jimmi was never for me

Guitar obviously impressive, and often engaging. Lyrics are not as intelligent as they should be. Would not listen to a second time.

Good voice Good guitars Long songs Was hoping it was over and it was

Couldn't be bothered with this at all. It's just not my bag maaaannnnn.

Speciel intro. Hyggeligt nok, men tror ikke jeg vil lytte til det igen. Ikke lige min kop te tbh. Også lidt for rocket til mig

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Spanish Castle Magic, Wait Until Tomorrow, Castles Made of Sand Cutting Edge: Bold as Love Overall Notes: Messy by design. Not the biggest fan of these classic electric guitar driven albums, so this isn't really my thing. Seeing that Little Wing had over 180 million streams shocked me. 2.5 that I'll round down because some of these songs are borderline unlistenable.

boring

Don’t listen with headphones (also while not baked) as it makes you feel sick. 2/5

Alot going on with that cover. Enjoyed the guitars but thought the songs lacked hooks and melodies. For someone so legendary i was left a little dissapointed. 2/5

No coneixia aquest disc de Hendrix. És innegable la seva aportació al rock i la seva gran perícia amb la guitarra. Tot i així, aquest àlbum m'ha deixat una mica indeferent. He trobat a faltar algun hit més clar, temes més concrets i directes. Crec que Jimi Hendrix té millors àlbums que aquest.

Nice to hear a few tracks but as a whole album, not for me

Mucha textura, un par de canciones interesantes, parece ensayo para lo que hizo en discos más adelante. Lo más interesante Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Little Miss Lover.

Nope. Who thought any of these backing vocals were tolerable? EXP is also a really rough start. Little Wing carries a star... Bold as Love and One Rainy Wish helps. I can leave the rest.

2.5 - Little wing and a lot of filler

Mucha textura, un par de canciones interesantes, parece ensayo para lo que hizo en discos más adelante. Lo más interesante Little Wing, If 6 was 9, Little Miss Lover.

Me, looking at album art: My gods, what am I getting into.

Another diarrhea cocktail from Mr. Hendrix!

Just don’t get Jimi Hendrix at all. Was boring

It’s okay

Sauvegardé aucun titre,ressenti aucune émotion. Je comprends que ça puisse plaire aux guitaristes puristes mais aucun intérêt perso. La seule chose que j'ai bien aimée sont les effets mono/stéréo, intéressants au casque.

On the one hand, you could argue that what Hendrix did was unique, original and genre-defying - genre-creating, even. But on the other hand, you could argue that it was, well, awful. I'm in the latter camp. Although I totally understand his influence, and appreciate just how talented he was, I find everything by him pretty much unlistenable, screechy, mumbly, drivel. It's conflicting because pretty much every record I like that's been released since, say, 1970, has probably been influenced in some way by Hendrix and his relationship with the guitar, but there's something about his records that just activates my defence mechanism. The walls go up, and I can't listen to it. It all just sounds like he's making it up as he goes along - every song sounds like a soundcheck. Yes, even THOSE ones. Maybe that's the charm. Maybe I'm just a terrible, terrible person but I listened to most of this record and remain unconvinced. Thank god he existed though otherwise my record collection would sound pretty different. He can have one star for that.

Not my cup of tea. It was like someone scratching a blackboard with a fork.

Pitääkö Hendrixiä diggailla koska hän on legenda? Vaikka musa ei lähde ja aika on puraissut todella pahasti? Ehkä en osaa suhtautua tähän koska en ole kitaristi. Ehkä tämä on kitarapornoa. Mulle ei tipu ollenkaan. Rasittava ja tylsä kokonaisuus. 1/5

Didn't appeal to my taste

favs: little wing if 6 was 9 one rainy wish rating 1/5

bloated and boring

pas tout écouté mais bon

Terrible. Hated basically all the songs

Not for me. Chaotic and hard to listen to.

Fue raro, era como inspirado en una alucinación de los 70 - 80

Dull. Hardly any track that isn't a jam gone wrong? I expected a lot from this, bitterly disappointed.

Albumet inleds med en humoristisk (låt?) (Exp). Låten låtsas likna ett radioprogram som handlar om UFO:n. Albumets första riktiga låt (up from the skies) inleds med en hotfull ton som övergår till en känsla av saknad genom låtens gång. (wait until tomorrow) inleds med en flykthistoria som övergår till prokrastinering sedan svek. Albumets sista låt som är döpt till samma namn som Albumet självt är en oväntad positiv överraskning. men med det sagt så finns det vissa guldkorn i albumet såsom den första och den sista låten, förövrigt upplever jag detta album som lite lätt "flummigt" så att säga.

not really my taste personally. really cool vibes though.

pior que não curti

geen enkele hit

Appreciate the vision but for me more of a motion sickness. But im not a guitar fanatic.

not gonna listen to this as i dont like him

I found that the genius of Hendrix was not really on display here.

the late 60s and the 70s...they're just not my time period. please...take me to a different decade...PLEASE IM BEGGING U sometimes i'd read the lyrics in advance and think the song might be promising because the words were appealing, pretty, etc. - but no. it's always painful, a borderline cacophony of unpleasant sounds this isn't AS bad as the replacements album, but i have to give it one star because i found it actively aversive to listen to

Not for me. 1/5

Not my cup of tea

Ongegeneerd

Lowkey underwhelming.

NO AGAIN GIVE ME DECENT ALBUMS WHAT IS THIS

Great guitarist. Sound of the 60’s.

Not my album, way too much Hendrix.

Second most overrated band of all time

I don't like this song because the death was not that good. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because it's sad. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because the beat is not that good. I would not recommend this song.

I don't like this because it very old type music and because I dont like the melody. I would not recommend this to someone else because I don't think they would actually like it and want to listen to it. I give it 1 star.

I don't like it its not a song I would listen too on a Daily basis. the second one I don't like cause I wouldn't listen to it cause its deppressing it kinda has a long intro and the lyrics I don't really like . the third song I don't like ethier its not my type of music I would listen too

don't like it

Favourite tracks: Rainy Wish Bold as Love

Bad vocals. Songs are iconic, but dated. SRV does Jimi better than Jimi.

not my music genre sorry

Horrible screeching in the first song is time I will never get back.

Niets voor mij

the first track gave me bad vibes ima be honest

1. ezp - 0 2. zkiez - 1 3. caztle - 1 4. tomorrouu - 0 5. telling - 1 6. uuing - 1 7. nine - 1.5 8. floating - 1 9. zand - 1 10. fine - 1 11. rainy - 1 12. lover - 1.5 13. bold - 1.5

Bizarre, abstract and slightly annoying

Boring

Not for me

I'm tired of this, grandpa

Mag gut sein, aber mit Jimi Hendrix werde ich nicht warm.

I am hella disappointed to find out these arent random generated albums but from some hobknocker's book because he thinks his shitty taste is so good its objective fact. I was hoping to hear some awesome wide range type of shit but hes just a nostalgic boomer. Anyway this album bored me

spaced out lightness... Sitä ei moni sanonut... moni antoi 5 star... 4 star... Jotkut ymmärsivät yskän.. Humpuuki musiikkia tässä..

nah, isch mer eis zwild gsi am morge am 7ni

I preferred the last Jimi Hendrix to this one.

No me gusta

Only song I liked was Bold as Love. Hendrix’s singing is not melodic and not pleasurable to listen to

Rough listen. However not really a Hendrix fan.

Kind of just tuned it out. Too all over the place for me and a little weird

Not a big fan, kinda loud and dissonant a lot of the time, the sound mixing made it hard to hear the lyrics over the loud instruments.

its pretty mid 3/10

This album is too psychedelic for my taste.

Ik vind dit echt gepingel in de marge. Misschien leuk als je al een beetje van de wereld af bent? Niet mijn ding. *

Very poor. Cover art 1/5

* would not listen again * 1/5

Dat begint goed. Als je dit gehoord hebt kun je echt nog niet dood!

Iconic album
