Axis: Bold As Love

drums and guitar and chill

This album is a treat.

Little Wing might be my ATF guitar picking song. Jimi is at his finest. Shame they decided to fade early and keep the song at less than 2 1/2 min. Jimi's live versions keep it going for another minute. This song is a perfect showcase for guitar players to strut their stuff. Clapton's live version was 3 x as long to allow more soloing time. Stevie Ray did a 7 min cover version and he never got around to singing the verses. Some of the experimental stuff, including the first track " Exp", was worth a try but didn't really work imo. "If 6 was 9" is an interesting experiment. Could we label this the precursor to the drum & bass genre? It's nice that Jimi gives his bass player and drummer a chance to be front and centre. The psychedelic drumming and bits following the false stop in Bold as Love are enjoyable as are the two castle songs. Overall not Jimi's best LP but still quite good.

This album really showcases Jimi's creativity. It has an experimental feel to it, especially If 6 was 9, which is free form jazz-ish (is the loon sound at the end really a guitar??) and the way he jumps from funkier tracks to hard rock to ballads. There are 3-4 classic songs and the guitar playing is other-worldly.

This is a solid album with some fine songs, but it doesn’t have any knock out punches that we got on his debut album Are you experienced or his 3rd release Electric Ladyland. She’s so fine and Exp seem out of place and result in an uneven effort.

Rulez

Very interesting.

certainly a classic but for me it didn't hit as hard as other hendrix material

I really dig it

His first album is probably still my favorite, but the songs that dial back the psychedelics are great.

Just wow, but careful about listening to the first track with any sort of hangover - although the stereo effects are pretty cool.

5.0 + What a gift - one of the few records that realizes a fully psychedelic vision, in true technicolor fluorescence. Jimi is a science fiction superhero flying in swirls of brilliant pink, neon green and magenta.

Really enjoyed this one, strong 4 that could go up over time. Some great songwriting and guitar melodies, I would probably appreciate it even more if I were a guitar player myself

Little wing and castles are standout - lovely musicianship but as an album is not the most balanced

Pretty cool album. Love the guitar work on a lot of the songs. 6/10

Spanish castle is a favorite.

Gets better as it goes, but not as good as his other two.

it's pretty good

2 Jimmy albums in a row... brought to you by the gods of RNG

Not bad for jimi

Good stuff. I listened to this a lot in 9th grade. Feels like floating.

Just brilliant. Never sat down to listen to his albums, just the ones still in common rotation today. This is brilliant all the way through.

Was an interesting listen, sets a nice vibe

great album, some hit songs on there. finishing on bold as love is superb

Trippy intro, the time before trippy intros were cliche. Wild to think this is the same year as sgt peppers. Not really into this kind of guitar rock any more, but little wing still slaps.

This is the album I'd bring if I was stranded on a desert island with an everlasting supply of reefer and Choco Tacos.

Thom Yorke said "anyone can play guitar." And that's totally true. If you have a guitar, I guess. But not just anyone can play the guitar like Jimi Hendrix. Most songs are just a bit too short - I wanted them to keep going! And then "If 6 Was 9" showed why keeping things short was a good thing. Leave them wanting more, don't wear out your welcome. And certainly not with a weird flute solo. Was that a flute? It was weird. The song with Noel Redding vocals was also weird, and yanked me right out of the album's flow. Aside from those two minor issues, "Axis: Bold as Love" is a great glimpse at the brilliance of Hendrix. And if it was just the guitar work, that would be enough. But Jimi proves his voice works so well in his style, and that he can blend seamlessly with the Experience to create a full sound that isn't overwhelmed by one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

I was skeptical as the initial track descended into staticky, sonic chaos. Good thing Jimi pulled it back from the brink. There are some true gems here. Little Wing, with one of the sultriest guitar solos ever made, just leaves me wanting more. The title track has big finale energy, great way to wrap up the album.

There are some elite tracks on here: Little Wing, If a 6 Was 9, Castles Made of Sand, and Bold As Love. A 5 star bonanza of sorts. The rest…mmm…a lot of filler. These other 9 songs drown out the elite and drag this album down to mediocrity.

Quick album to listen to. Not a bad listen - Hendrix was def a pioneer and sounded great. Can only imagine getting stoned to this in the late 60s lol 7/10.

Cool, vibrant and summery

Discazo. Rock del sabroso

Non chitarracentrico come mi aspettavo! Godibile dall'inizio alla fine. Da riascoltare!

Classic

Top album, wel minder bekend als "Are you experienced" maar toch wel heel mooi

* would not listen again * 1/5

This is hard to rate, because more than a couple of the songs on here kind of feel like they exist just as an excuse for Jimi Hendrix to have a guitar solo. But those solos are INCREDIBLE. And there are some pretty good songs on here too. Not sure if all the panning was necessary. Things would randomly move quickly all around and I don't know why. Overall, solid album with some quirks.

A bit cartoonish. Little Wing is a great song and the other tracks are okay.

What exactly was the point of the first track? This album contains some good songs (Little Wing, Castles Made of Sand, One Rainy Wish), but I really don't care for the noisy sound effects that a lot of artists on this list appear to be a fan of. Second half of the album is generally better.

This album features better songwriting than his debut and much more interesting arrangements. Songs like ‘little wing’ and ‘bold as love’ illustrate this well.

Never got Hendrix, never will. Fantastically skilled music and but just not my taste

Сочно, мощно, от него взяли истоки многие группы

Hadn’t heard since a teenager. Drumming is incredible.

Pretty good album, great instrumentation. Songwriting is sort of so-so. The songs are fine, but they don't sound fully fleshed out. The album doesn't really have any breakout songs either.

Fantastic album, lots of great songs. In the opening track you canhear them struggling with pan effects, is it genuinely disorienting with headphones on. Great lyrics and Hendrix guitar playing.

Starts so goofily but really lifts off with "Spanish Castle Magic." There's a loose almost carefree feeling to the album. Sounds like they are having fun creating things in the studio.

I wanna like this more than I do. Clearly Jimi Hendrix is a guitar-god, but when it comes to listening pleasure it's just... ok? Personal enjoyment is a 3.5.

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

Там много новых идей, но он размытый, это как бы зачатки идей не доведенные до ума, но есть 1-2 цельных песни. Возможно из-за такого вокала и ухода от мелодии альбом не цепанул. Но в этом определённо что-то есть. На момент выхода это было невероятно наверное

Awesome

ABSURDAMENTE FODA PERFEITO EM TODOS OS ASPECTOS HENDRIX É UM DEUS

Meh

Love this album, really chill cool vibe.

So I had to bootstrap this album together from different sources on youtube so the listening experience is way out of wack. Spanish Castle Magic finally gets the album started with some really modern sound guitar. Little Wing is a forceful beautiful song. Jimmy's guitar work is outrageous how relevant is still is.

Quisiera estar high on lsd, tirada en mi alfombra en los 80s escuchando esta joya en el reproductor de vinilos que acabo de comprar, brutal

A little rough around the edges

It's OK. He has better

u 130. albuma, već su ispucani svi Jimi Hendrixovi albumi (ovo je zadnji ispucan), i bome su svi albumi čiste četvorke, neki možd malo jače. Volim njegov zvuk, sve u svemu, dosta dobar album - energičan, hedonistički nastrojen i topao album.

good jimi album, not as good as electric ladyland though

I was always under the impressions that people thought are you experienced was his best album and i think that is a bit shit, so this is a pleasant surprise.

I've never given a flying fuck about Jimi Hendrix. It was fine.

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

Good

Is it controversial to say Hendrix isn't a great singer even if his guitar slaps?

this definitely isn't hendrix at his best but it still had a few good songs really not into that pyschedelic bit that every 60s artist felt like they had to do

I love Little Wing, Spanish Castle Magic and the title track, but not much else is as memorable. Great guitar and drumming as usual.

Just an amazing album that showcases all of the band members talents in really tight compositions

Jimi's estate is too litigious. This is the first album I have not been able to listen to through YouTube Music. It's a shame because Jimi was such an influential musician and this is limiting the potential for more people to hear and experience his music.

Good, but not my taste

Really good!! I think if I listen to it more I'll grow to love it!

Very comfortable and easy to listen to.

terrific album. everything song a classic. Stereo effects are outstanding.

Really enjoyed it. Cracking guitars and drums. The last track Bold as Love is brilliant

Super cool and intense, mainly for the year it was released

3.5

Not my kind of music but I enjoyed it, there were some songs I really liked despite de album started boring me by the end, the guitar in this album is so melodic and clear, not sure if I would listen to this again but it was good.

It’s Hendrix so of course it’s a 5-star album. Some great songs on here including ‘Little Wing’ and ‘Bold as Love’. It’s crazy how many innovative guitar techniques Hendrix showcases on this album.

Not Electric Ladyland. But it’s Hendrix.

Really, really liked. 4.5.

One of the greatest albums ever made. Hendrix's guitar work is phenomenal and still amazes me to this day. So many other musicians cannot come anywhere close to the level of this album.

Good album. This one isn’t as good as the other two as it has less hits but it’s still Hendrix and he doesn’t make anything less than average. 7.9/10

Jimi Hendrix is always good, but l would say there are only a few must hear songs on this (along with all his albums).

The first track was awful - hurt my ears! The rest was ok.

Loved this, especially One Rainy Wish

It had some really good songs. It was a fun album. First time I have heard this from start to finish

Not my favorite Hendrix album, but solid all the way through.

Good. Some definite bangers in there. Appreciated many of the slower jams. Instrumentation on point as expected.

Lesser then are you experienced it turns out.

Loved this album. An ageless guitar driven masterclass. Could listen to Little Wing for hours

Very relaxed and I love the sixties sound. The album was over before I knew it. Have not listened to the lyrics, just the flow and instruments.

He's good at guitar!

2.5

crisdusseld avait mis trois.

Incredible production, listening on good headphones reveals so many awesome psychedelic layers to this and it has some of the most famous and best songs of this era of rock.

Glad I got this, a solid album. Before listening to it I only knew like 3 of Jimi’s songs but this one got me a bit hooked ngl. Favs: Little Wings, Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love, One Rainy Wish.

dont like rock

Excellent any time of the day. Will listen again

Amazing

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

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

This album reminds me of being a kid and my dad blasting music while cooking dinner. My senses would be overwhelmed by the vibration of the noise and the smells from the kitchen. It's that kind of unsettled wonder of being dipped into someone else's world from before you existed.

Good old guitar rock.

jimi. hendrix.

A complete masterpiece

excelente

Not bad overall. No songs jump at me. 3/5

ce diable de Jimi sait y faire avec une gratte, 3/5

I've never heard this album, but I've heard several singles from it - Castles made of sand, Spanish castles, 69, little wing, and bold as love. The other songs in the album really bring it together. One thing that surprised me here was how ahead of their time his producer was with stereo sound. They make it known from that first track that they're going to use stereo to its full effect. Highly recommend listening in stereo for the full album. Favorite song: don't make me choose - see above. Least favorite song: She's so fine (what the heck was that?)

Debo confesar que de Jimi Hendrix solo había escuchado sus grandes éxitos, tipo “Foxy Lady” o “Purple Haze”. Me dio gusto toparme con él en esta página (?). Disfruté mucho el disco con todo ese sonido tan distintivo del rock psicodélico de su época, pero me gusta además que era un artista muy sutil, sabía cuándo darle voz protagonista a su guitarra sin atascarse. Me gustaron mucho “Little Wing”, “Castles Made of Sand” y “Little Miss Lover”.

Love the guitars

Time after time I have a mood for psychedelic rock. Then it does not get any better than the father of psy-guitar himself - Jimi Hendrix. This album is full of many great songs and incredible (incredible) guitar work. Still, the biggest surprise for me was how amazing it sounds 50 years later - the production techniques still work, the guitar sounds are trippy af and everything is super clear and hearable - many classic records from the 60s (even remaster versions) are just not the same.

Not Hendrix’s strongest album, certainly the albums either side of this one are stronger overall. Like all Hendrix albums it lacks a little cohesion and is thematically/lyrically a bit silly. Nonetheless the Hendrix, Redding, Mitchell trio again here show their creative and technical prowess and Axis is more than deserving of its place on this list. Spanish Castle Magic is a raw and exciting psychedelic rock song and stands up against the likes of Purple Haze, Foxey Lady and Voodoo Chile, but it’s the softer side of this album where it really shines; Little Wing is just gorgeous, Castles in the Sand is breathtaking - two great examples of the genius of this man. The greatest ever.

Entre caos, fraseos atropellados y experimentos s e encuentran canciones con una solidez envidiable a punto de encontrar el equilibrio. Apenas se muestra en pequeños fragmentos, como los dos últimos temas (magníficos) o Castles in the Sand. Pero en cualquier caso, hay momentos magistrales, emocionantes, brillantes, con una base rítmica a la altura de las circunstancias. Interesante también los intentos estereo, algunos más brillantes y efectivos que otros.

Nice guitar noodling. Won't revisit.

Enjoyable listen, has one of my fave Hendrix tracks in Castles Made of Sand but quite a lot is forgettable albeit lovely to listen to

hard to listen to at work.

Yes Jimi!

Another album I'd like to give more time but really just needed to catch up. One listen was pretty enjoyable, so I think I could come back to this one Saved: Little Wing, Bold as Love

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.

Jimi Hendrix is a legend. The guitar work is just on a different level. This style of music isn't something I care to listen to often, but there are some jams on here for sure.

boring

some groundbreaking stuff - 3-4 amazing songs.

Still a classic forgotten how good it was.

Durante más de 10 o 12 años Hendrix me parecía bien pero no lo escuchaba, no me interesaba. Formaba parte del panteón del rock clásico que pues uno escucha en la pubertad y luego ya, a otra cosa, ¿no? Lo bueno es que uno cambia de parecer muy fácil. En los últimos años he vuelto a escucharlo y pues, lo obvio, es brillantísimo. Una revolución en la guitarra, una tan radical, tan tabula rasa, que pues mucho de la mamonería y cosas de hueva que uno atribuye a la guitarra, solos interminables y demás, viene de este wey. Pero el lo hizo bien, lo hizo genial, el resto, pues no tanto. Este disco demuestra que su música no estaba centrada solo en sus riffs y sus solos, también era un gran compositor, buen letrista y muy creativo en cuanto a influencias: hay mucho soul, mucho R&B, mucho de eso que será llamado funk, mucho blues obviamente y un sonido indeterminado que es totalmente personal que mezcla todo esto y más: country-funk-blues-jazz-r&B-garage-dylanelbardo-destruccióndelmundocomoestadosalvajedelser. Alguna mamada así. Es muy fácil dar por sentado lo que hizo, han pasado más de 50 años, pero quiero ser muy enfático, esto no existía antes. Otro concepto difícil de entender actualmente cuando somos post todo. Pero neta, no existía, no así. Y la neta, después de él, no volvió a existir. Muy disfrutable el disco. Le doy 3 millones de estrellas, 1 kilo de ácido y 2 de mandarinas.

On first listen I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

love me some Jimi

All in all, a fantastic album. Are You Experienced is the quintessential Hendrix album, but I’ll be dammed if Axis isn’t just as good. Always liked this one when I was younger, and that opinion has not changed.

Ik merk wel de kwaliteit maar dit is nou net niet mijn ding

Mostly great---

No era un gran cantante, pero que guitarra! Justifica todo

Amazing sounds, that guy was a genius

This album was a straight classic man, I fuckin loved it.

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

Rock solid.

one of a very small number of genuine innovators

obviously incredible guitar, listened to this bad boi with headphones and that was an experience to be sure. At some points the sound was a bit overwhelming even

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

some classics mixed in with other standard jimi. probs listen to a mix album instead of this specifically but otherwise good.

Quite nice. Much mellower and less noodling than I would have expected. Fine, but not massively memorable.

Struggled to actually listen to the album through the links. Not sure if that was just me...

Not my favourite Hendrix album but even this one has some incredible playing. A bit uneven and disjointed though

Jimi, talentoso el shavo. El sonido 8d del intro está lol. Menciones especiales al build up de 'if 6 was 9', me resulta emocionante y satisfactorio, y a 'She's so fine', que es una canción rápida y pegajosa. Mood: frito

Aye it's sick like what do you want me to say just wagga wagga woo on the geet all day boy wouldn't know how to do a tax return but he would know how to do a slight return I tell ya what voodoo chile

7.5

An album you need to dive in to find its treasures… it’s worth the effort

Es bueno, pero no es de mi estilo

Not for me. Talented musicians. Just not talented enough to shut the fuck up

Would listen to it again.

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.

Oldie but good

It's okay, but it is not a master piece

It's like going to a classic brewery where you know everything is going to be good

Pretty good but not as good as EL

Good album didn't love the transitional... choices?

Phenomenal, just phenomenal.

Tighter and poppier than I would have expected. I've not listened to this studio album before now, but was expecting more of the psychedelic freeform guitar work he's know for. Still firmly in the stoner category but less trippy. The title track in particular is a great balance of the styles. Despite the documented recording difficulties of the album, I'm impressed by the clarity and imaging.

If 6 was 9 Castles made of sand

Amazing album that beats Electric Ladyland for me. Any track could be my favourite, but Exp and Little Wing are great. 9/10, nice

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

No sé si mi sentir sea correcto, quizá es una obviedad, pero sentí por varias canciones como si Jimi fuera una gran influencia de Prince. Hendrix es, para mí, una de esas figuras que de tan icónicas se me han escapado, alguna canción por ahí namás, pero sin ponerle atención; después de escuchar este disco, me queda claro que los elogios no son por nada (?). Toda la parte psicodélica de repente me marea, no soy fan, pero la guitarra y el bajo de repente hacen maravillas. Sólo queda imaginarse lo que en su momento provocaba, aunque diría que, a diferencia de otra música de los 60 que nos han salido, esto me suena mucho menos ""anticuado"", a veces nada. Canciones que destacoI: "Spanish Castle Magic" y "Castles Made of Sand" (las de los castillos). Quizá "If 6 was 9" es la que me hizo ya querer el disco y tiene un gran gran cierre, esa "Bold As Love". 8.5/10

Beginning is strange with a kinda random allotment of sounds but the album grows, after Little Wing most songs are great. Hendrix has great guitar as always.

Hot, sexy, soulful, groovy and trippy improv from the late great! No doubt other trios like Nirvana followed closely into the age of complex songs with minimalistic instrumentation. Back-to-back Little Wing & If 6 Was 9 is killer example of the diversity this record expresses. You Got Me Floatin’ & Castles Made Of Sand is another 1-2 punch of heavy lyrics and grooves. Really diggin’ in the hot tub. Thought of tipping some Hennessy into my coffee out here. Cannabis is probably too much before work. Shiiiiiit....Jimi, much obliged.

Very "out there" experimental funky psychedelic guitar playing. An influential and important album, I'm sure, but it's one that I'm only happy to have listened to purely for its historical significance. Hendrix's talent is undeniable, but I couldn't really get into the album and I didn't find it especially enjoyable to listen to.

Skulle ønske jeg likte det mer enn jeg gjorde. Syns albumet mangler den råheten jeg syns albumet trenger.

Veldig kult. Har ikke hørt så mye Hendrix før, men den var ikke overaskende. Nydelig gitarspilling, kule sanger, kul synging. Ingen sanger stod ut som noe jeg ville lagt til i en liste, men det var ganske gøy å høre gjennom en gang. Kanskje jeg en dag går gjennom det igjen. For nå blir det en svak 4

War scho in list

3-4

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.

Very good. Still prefer the debut and Electric Ladyland. 8/10 1. Little Wing 2. Castles Made of Sand 3. Spanish Castle Magic

good.

this is one album, that if you listen to, only having heard Hendrix's hits, will honestly make you question how more of his music didn't make it on the air. this is an amazingly crafted piece of musical history, and is inspiration for countless bands and musicians out there.

Next level Creativity + craftsmanship and musicianship of these 3 is worthy of praise

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.

This guy was so far ahead of his time it's incredible. To think this album was released in 1967. Amazing. Little Wing is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. 4.5 stars, rounding up to 5.

Some classic guitar songs on here like Little Wing, but only a couple of these songs really make me want to listen to again.

Soooo gooood.

Meh, bold as love was better when Mayer covered it.

Great, consistent experience from start to finish. Hard not to get up and jam out. Highlights: Spanish Castle Magic, Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love, Little Wing. Really the whole album

Excelente

mt bom queria em vinil

Iconic album

2.5 - Little wing and a lot of filler

As soon as it started I thought "this is going to be awesome." And it more or less was.

It Jimi Hendrix how is it not 5 stars

This was pretty sweet, another legend I’ve never really listened to and definitely should have before now.

8

Good none of the songs stood out

Spacey

Was a poster on my college wall for most of college Great guitar and bass

I didn't recognize a single riff from any song in this album, so that means I probably hadn't heard any of these before. Classic rock like this is enjoyable to listen to, but it's not a cornerstone of who I am. So whether I hear a great album or a mediocre album, they both kind of hit me as "ok". I appreciate this though, and especially in comparison to Hawkwind, I appreciate the length.

it’s insane how good this music is

Hard to believe this came out only seven months after "Are You Experienced". Standout on this listen was "Ain't No Telling"

One of the greats to me. Listened to this so many times but I'm still struck by the variety in a not particularly long album. Engaged from beginning to end.

Not my favorite Hendrix album, but another easy listen. Feel like he doesn't get enough credit as a songwriter, people just think woo-hoo-guitar-guy.

Not a lot of hit singles on this one, but it doean't matter because the album is amazing as a whole. Hendrix's style is just great and it's hard for me not to like whatever he's recorded.

Great album. A lot of my favs on there like Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand.

Nada

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.

Dice Vic que está psicodélico

Me encantó el juego con el paneo y obviamente la guitarra de Jimi. Quizá en algunos puntos es mucha psicodelia pero hay varias rolas muy buenas.

very good

Familiarity: 1/10 Notes: Although I'm familiar with his legacy and live career, I have not listened to much studio Jimi Hendrix. This album exceeded by expectations sonically and was a journey worth taking Real Rating: 7.5/10

I had not listened to a lot of his albums. The sound I expected. Nice.

I mean, yeah, it's Hendrix.

Wonderful. Never given it a full listen and its psychedelic as fuck

There are days when this is the best Jimi Hendrix record. Surely it has some of his best songs on it. The production and sound on this, for 1967, is HUGE. The stereo panning is a nice touch. It’s a succinct record that covers a lot of the sounds Hendrix was trying to make and isn’t as radio forward as his previous. This is a banger. Favorite song: all of em baby Least favorite song: none

Good driving music

Enjoyed this, never really spent much time listening to Hendrix. Stand-out song was Spanish Castle Magic

Hendrix can play the guitar, that’s obvious. Singing is secondary, but he’s solid at that too.

not as good as first, more mellow, some classics

I feel like when I listen to an album like this I start off like 'I'm a rocker, I've forgotten this, I love this shredding shit' and then by the end my head hurts. I went on a long run and listened to this, it was a bit warm too so my head wanted to explode by the end. That being said this was exactly what I needed.

Good start, having never listened to Jimi before. One or two songs to take away

A lot of innovation. Never listened to the whole thing before. Glad I did.

Classic psychedelic rock. Lots of great tracks not his best but very good

Good stuff

Unsettling swirling stereo mix on intro and some songs, otherwise as awesome as expected from Hendrix.

Love this album

Not my favorite Hendrix, but a damn good album regardless.

Liked it, though I think it merits another listen. I don't feel I was able to truly appreciate it yet.

Expnsd

Overall very nice sound, not any particular love for any of the songs

Some great tracks on here, I'm sure super influential, but some ones I don't really care for too. The intro is legit awful. But a really cool and a really ahead of its time album

More enjoyable than I remember.

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

Not bad

Solid elguitar, kreativt, rock

Hendrix's creative genius is on full display here. Occasionally drifts into "pushing boundaries that don't need to be pushed" territory. Best track: Little Wing

Great alb but not my fav Jimi. Although Little Wing and If 6 was 9 are top 5 Jimi songs

Liked it a lot. Interesting to see the mix of sonic experimentation and blues songwriting.

Hell yes

Un classique!

I was only really familiar with "Little Wing" for the most part, but this was a darn good record. Guitar work was (obviously) very strong, but I did like the songs as a whole.

I'm still getting surprised by the amount of noise in certain old records. This was some excellent guitar music. Less energy than, say, a James Brown, but more refined and similar in terms of flourish. I imagine I need to listen to live recordings to hear the band really jam.

It's Hendrix it is great

Castles Made of Sand might be my favourite Hendrix song.

classic. not so many of the hits on this one, but great overall

The Hendrix album I’m least familiar with.... but it’s just excellent obviously. No guitarist comes close!
