Electric Ladyland

A bit too long, and the second jam track over 10 minutes long was unnecessary, but Jimi and his band are incredible musicians. Really liked most of this.

Fajne

bien qsy. 7/10

Great!

Probably their best record. I swear anything Hendrix touched was gold. Some standouts on here: Voodoo Chile, 1983…, and (of course) the 1-2 punch of All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child (Slight Return). A must-listen.

While I appreciate the incredible skill and craftsmanship, it just unfortunately isn't for me. While I didn't enjoy any of it, I can absolutely understand and respect the talent and musicianship.

Some great Hendrix hits, but holy wow is this a long album.

Great but becomes more overly self-indulgent as time passes.

God only made one Jimi Hendrix, and this is his masterpiece. I often think about what Jimi would have done had he lived another 10 years, 20 years, 30 years? Sadly we'll never know, but at least we have this amazing album and his other work. He did more in 2 years of studio recording than most artists do in a lifetime. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is the definitive rock guitar song - just mind blowing what he did here, basically just improvising. 5 stars.

4.5/5

Another classic. Hendrix was just something else man! Band is tight, tunes are tight. What more could you ask for?

3/5 Ugh. This was a hard one to review. I liked some of the full on rock and roll, but it dragged on and on. And one song, "Voodoo Chile," was a little rapey. I really want to like Jimi Hendrix and be a cool kid, but I'm not won over yet...

I really enjoyed the previous Hendrix album this challenge dropped and although there were more recognisable hits here, it was too long and convoluted for me. Don't get me wrong, he's an amazing guitarist and everything, but there was waaaay too much fat needing trimming on this bloated opus. I hope that the inevitable next Jimi Hendrix album is more like the previous one.

Wizard on guitar, and that takes centre stage on the recording - so much so that a lot of the vocals sound muted. It's OK, but really just his guitarwork is worth listening to, the rest is average.

A classic, maybe not his best but I love it still

Ground breaking stuff.

Great parts but was pretty disjointed as an album.

This album doesn't feel long at all despite being over an hour. I liked pretty much every song even though it sometimes feels like they are just kind of there to lead you to the next big awesome song. Obviously really great guitar work and production especially for the time. Some of the mixing on some of the tracks is all over the place but it really doesn't matter because it still sounds good and it's so easy to listen to. All along the watchtower being so insanely popular is pretty cool as well, I wish songs like that could chart today. Score: 80 Art: 70

I don't think all the songs are hits, only a couple I really enjoy, but Jimi is a guitar freak. It's worth a listen at least once. I just think I like the man and talent more than the music. (Last 2 songs bang, though.)

"Electric Ladyland" is the third studio and final album from The Jimi Hendrix Experience. It was produced by Jimi and recorded in NYC and London. Due to his perfectionism, there were many takes on the songs but also added techniques such as backmasking, chorus effects, echo and flanging. The album mixed their pyschedelic pop with aggressive funk. The studio itself was very crowded during the recording which did not sit well with other members of The Experience, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. Guest musicians included Steve Winwood and Jefferson Airplane's Jack Casady. Critics were confounded at first finding the album too dense but then many reconsidered it as their best. The album was also their most commercially successful peaking at #1 in the US and #6 in the UK. The album is a double album and begins with "...And the Gods Made Love " which is just pounding and an attempt at sounds of UFO's landing on Earth. A blasting guitar opens "Crosstown Traffic." A hard rock guitar riff and chorus. His love for traveling and women. Steve Winwood joins on organ for the 15 minute blues jam "Voodoo Chile." Chaotic drums and just incredible guitar especially at the end. A highlight of Side B is the cover of Earl King's "Come on (Part 1)." It's New Orleans' R&B and just crazy Hendrix guitar riffs. Side C has three songs not played very much on the radio but not to be passed over. "Rainy Day, Dream Away" is groovy, jazzy and bluesy. The nearly 14 minutes "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" is the most pyschedelic song on the album. Marching band drums and a bass jam. The album ends with two of their biggest songs. The Bob Dylan cover "All Along the Watchtower" begins with that acoustic guitar and into the classic guitar riff. Their only top 40 song. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is bluesy. The wah-wah intro. Then that guitar. I'd be hard pressed to find a more kick-ass guitar sound. What cannot you say about an album like this? Just incredible guitar and all the other instruments. It is long at 75 minutes but what and why do you cut. I like all three Hendrix albums so I wouldn't try to pick a favorite. They're all worth listening to and owning.

Much like the recent Tom Waits album I feel this would be more enjoyable in a certain state of mind. That said I did enjoy it. Crosstown Traffic and 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) were favourites and All Along The Watchtown is such a standout track.

My fave Hendrix album. Yes, it's sprawling and chaotic, but that's rather the point? The swirling vortex of the intro track should make that pretty clear. Fave track - I mean, "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" has been my overall favorite Hendrix track since seeing "Withnail & I". "Crosstown Traffic" and his version of "All Along the Watchtower" are absolutely era defining. On this playthrough, "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" really got me...

For real, most incredible guitar playing of all time. 5/5

He has brilliant moments but I’m not going to pretend everything he touched was gold. Too long. Would’ve been an incredible experience back in the day.

Perfect Psychedelic Blues Rock

Phenomenal.

why is this so long? still great though. everything jimi touches is gold. sometimes can be a dredge but overall is varied enough and the performance is truly electric so it's ok. best tracks: all along the watchtower, voodoo child, crosstown traffic

Really good romp, there's a reason Jimi is regarded so highly and this is a great showing of it. You can feel licks of flavour that in time have been extrapolated out into their own genres throughout the album. Voodoo Chile and of course All Along The Watchtower are absolute bangers in a sea of bangers

Other than the hits, nothing grabbed me as much as I thought. Needs a repeat listen deffo. Sticking with a 3 but I do think it could be slightly unfair as it was broken up in how I listened

An amazing experience. What a musical journey. This album only has a couple of songs that I really knew well before hearing the album. The rest is pretty new to me. What I have been missing all these years? This will definitely be an album that I will listen to in the future. Standouts: Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Chile 4/5

Obviously Jimi is a great guitarist. A couple of great songs but also quite a bit of filler. Overall I enjoyed this one quite a bit though.

Come On (Let the Good Times Roll), Gypsy Eyes, House Burning Down, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Not the album cover that I remember! Classic Hendrix at his best - Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, Gypsy Eyes, All Along The Watchtower, and Voodoo Child (Slight Return).

Me gustó bastante, la instrumental se mantiene siempre interesante con pequeños detalles por acá y allá, incluso las canciones más largas no se me hicieron tediosas

Just crazy how ahead of his time Jimi was. 1968 and yet his sound still seems like the future. So much skill, the blending and effects are fantastic, and still you get great drumming, bass, and vocals as well. Its got a 15 minute song and a 13 minute song, so it definitely has a pacing issue and I understand that criticism but I'm also okay with the long rambling jam session. Overall, an impressive piece of work that laid the foundation for so much to come after. 5/5 Favorites: Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower, Gypsy Eyes, Rainy Day, Voodoo Child Least Favorites: 1983, Moon turn the tides

Boring wankery

10/10. buenisimo no le cambiaria nada, cada cancion suena natural y cmo improvisada pero al mismo tiempo pulidas y todos estan coordinados dms bien. aparte de innovador es timeless y perfecto 🤠

Self produced by Hendrix, this double album covers a wide scope of styles from rich blues to psychadelic improvisation, accented with Jimi's inimitable vocals. The juxtaposition of two versions of Voodoo Chile perfectly expresses the dichotomy between the roots of his music and the interpretive vision of the artist. Throw in All Along the Watchtower and Crosstown Traffic and you, arguably, have a magnum opus here.

Great album!

Brilliant album

Just very good

Great iconic album which overflows with energy. Feels a bit more like a long live/jam session than an album tough.

These sixties icons become more period pieces with each passing decade - still amazing, will always keep a solid place in pop history, but I have to say I found the shine slightly dulled, listening to this one for the first time in many years. Axis held up better.

Banger

Chill and nice. Great licks among nice riffs that are catchy and groovy. I like it

Voodoo Chile is a certified bop. None of the songs on this album are bad by any means. I also loved the Beatles-esque sound of Little Miss Strange. The crunchy guitar and drums are impeccable. I also love a good organ.

It is unsurprisingly very good. Jimi is not as good a singer as everyone thinks; I agree with Jimi on this.

4/5 Beautiful - worth a purchase!

10/10 - Iconic album

Helvetin hieno paketti! Pitkähkö mutta perustellusti 5/5

Oon tykännyt tästä niin kauan kuin muistan. Samaa kuin Bowien ja Princen parhaissa levyissä, kun on niin virtuoosimaista, että melkein alkaa itkettää. Saa myös monet tämän listan 60-luvun rock-levyistä kuulostamaan aika mitättömiltä (nykypäivänä).

Mestari laittaa! Ei paljoa sähkökitaran soitto tästä parane, erinomainen levy.

My favorite Hendrix album. Voodoo Chile w/ Winwood 🔥🔥

En handfull klassiker! Sen har jag lite svårt för skräniga gitarrer.

Truly masterful work, has the occasional moment where it drags on, but a true genius at work here

Great sounds from The Experience. Some of the longer jams go on a bit without adding much, but the classics from this album are exactly that for good reason.

Everyone knows that Hendrix was a hugely influential artist and an important part of music history, but sometimes you need to sit down with an album just to remind yourself how /good/ he was.

I am upset at myself that I never listened to this album before. Really fantastic.

Who doesn't love this album?

"Some of the songs sound a bit dated" Jahas vikakäyttöpäiväkö mennyt heh.. En usko heh.. Kitaraa laulatetaan kuin kellarin kadulta kaapattua pikkulikkaa.. Ihan kunnolla siis... tyttö voi hyvin... vielä...

esse é o album mais hendrix dele. mostra que ele conseguia ser puro rock and roll e loucura psicodelica ao mesmo tempo ou separadamente. a adição de sons de fundo nesse fazem uma grande diferença no som e imersão do album. o que mais me impressiona nele é a capacidade de cantar do jeito livre que ele canta e mesmo assim fazer a guitarra gritar e falar frases com pronuncia quase humana. é um album longo mas não teve momento nenhum em que me senti cansada de ouvir, porque cada musica tem suas peculiaridades e é completamente diferente da ultima.

This sounds before it’s time. It’s crazy the sounds that these guys used. 5/5

jimi hendrix was just a guy who enjoyed rocking out! what i kept thinking about is that jimi hendrix has been held up as a rock god for decades at this point, and still his sound is so unique. electric ladyland is a double album, and typically i find double albums' length unnecessary. not here. hendrix found a way to make all four sides unique with combining psychedelia, funk (!), rock, soul. the many guitar solos! and when songs' time extends into double digits, i didn't care. this album is a listen it's easy to lose yourself in. several songs here are all-time classics. i wasn't expecting several covers to be included, but he definitely makes them his own. only listen to "all along the watchtower" to be convinced. but he keeps the listener guessing. "little miss strange" is such a easy sixties song, more akin to the beach boys or the beatles, not jimi hendrix. most songs are more of hendrix's signature sound, but i like curveballs.

Man, Jimi Hendrix just had it right. This album is psychedelic, acidic, and funky in ALL the right places. This final album from Hendrix offers a musician still VERY much in his prime, and it just goes to show how much future potential we missed out on by losing him at such a young age. Part incredible rock album, part incredible jam session, this whole thing is just a testament to amazing guitar work that has had far-reaching and long-lasting impact on guitarists for generations. A couple of these songs are over 10 minutes of jamming, and they honestly seemed like Jimi could have gone on for 10 minutes more. If I'm being critical, this album seems a little bit disjointed and lacking "clarity of vision". But you know what? It didn't matter then, and it doesn't matter now. Jimi is just THAT cool and draws people in with his unbelievable talent. Disjointed though it may be, paying audible witness to these works is a gift. Nonetheless, this album ends on such a highlight -- All Along the Watchtower. Jimi may not have wrote this song, but he put his stamp on it and made it unequivocally his. Bob Dylan who? Jimi Hendrix was destined to be nothing short of a legend and one of the greatest guitarists of all time and his impact can not be overstated. Even on this third and final, and arguably weakest, album, he makes it clear why he's a legend.

Final two tracks were good, seemed like a lot of chaotic noise otherwise. Don't think this has aged that well. 2.5

Absolutely rippin’ an’ lickin’ an’ riffin’ as always Sot Have You Ever Been Crosstown Traffic Voodoo Chile Gypsy eyes All along the watchtower Voodoo child 3/5

Legally I cant rate this below a 4 cmon it's Jimi

Hendrix's last album, and I think also the last time he's coming up on my generator list. It's easily my favorite of them; it feels more energetic than the others and he's putting guitar pedal effects to wonderful use. Obligatory "Watchtower" hot take: the original's actually pretty decent as far as Dylan goes, but he still comes out looking like a drip compared to what Hendrix does with it

Hendrix is one of those artists when listening to him retrospectively he sounds incredibly familiar but that's only because once he established these new sounds and techniques everyone else adopted them. All Along the Watchtower is a stand out piece here.

o grande mestre

Wasn't feeling it

Good album not in my musical tastes

Guitar går brdrdrbdbrbrbb, yeehaw baby

Decent not my fav jimi album

It’s Hendrix. What more do you gotta say?

Amazing album.

Guitar man does guitar stuff

Jimi shreds. An album with as many hits as misses. His tragedy, resulting in too little music from a genius, means that we all hold up what little we do have as precious. I hate to bag on this because it's freaking Jimi Hendrix but honestly if he had lived another 50 years this album would be completely forgotten.

Feel the Groove!

Enjoyed it; very clear why it's a classic. I can't imagine what listening to it in the year 1968 might have been like. Happy to finally sit down and listen to it for the first time.

Another easy call - this album deserves a 5bagger just for the best cover in history of music, 100%, no challenge. All Along the Watchtower has to be one of my favourite songs ever, that I've heard for the first time in my early teens, and I like it even more now. Just a combination of amazing guitar solos, that gnarly vocal by Jimi and a dirty recording makes for a perfect recipe. Absolutely flawless, in my opinion. But the rest of the album holds on strong as well. Both Voodoo Child and Chile, Crosstown Traffic, or 1983, they are all amazing, way ahead of its times, and still sounding both fresh and legendary. I'm rather a fan of contemporary music, but Jimi Hendrix is an exception. There is just too much talent in one person, absolutely unbelievable. I'm waiting for his other albums on this list now!

Very good. One of my favorite albums to listen to.

This album is a 5 for Voodoo Chile alone. Great blues jam, and for me the highlight is actually Steve Winwood's Hammond organ, which I think is probably the most underrated rock instrument. If you've only heard the more commonly played Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), do yourself a favor and listen to this track! Oh, and the rest of the album is pretty much uniformly amazing, too.

Good good Hendrix.

Very very ehhhhh

I definitely needed to hear this. Thank you album generator. I've always liked Crosstown Traffic and of course All Along the Watchtower and should have listened to the whole album long ago. I love the fun little tracks like Gypsy Eyes so much. All together it might be a little too much noodling around for me, but the highs on this album are very high indeed. 3.75

Cool

One of the greatest albums of all time!

A classic album, one I had to go back and listen to since I haven’t listened in years. It still holds up 50+ years later. Jimi’s guitar skills are unmatched. I prefer Are You Experienced? slightly more but this is an awesome album as well.

This is the justification of why he is the number one. It seems an album played in one take, where you can hear conversations between the band and people. It has everything it would come after Hendrix. Kravitz, Prince, Clapton, Buckingham, they must be grateful to Hendrix, its all about him

so many incredible sounding tunes on here, sags a bit but well worth 5

It's groovy man.

Few have ever made the guitar 'speak' like Hendrix, but a lot of songs on this album are certainly far from essential listening.

I always had this visual of Jimi Hendrix that was endless guitar solos and pretty so-so lyrics, but after this, I was blown away. When the (pretty much) first song comes on and it's soulful the way it was, and then songs afterwards kept being different genres with their own flaire, it was just consistently enjoyable. It was a bit long winded at points, dragging the score down a little, but I'm now even more excited for the other Hendrix offerings on the list.

No explanation necessary.

Steht nicht umsonst auf meiner wishlist

The raw talent that Jimi Hendrix had makes you wonder what would happen if he lived longer. His style of guitar playing was way ahead of its time and it's hard to imagine that it was made in the late 60s. This is the third and final Hendrix album and it delivers the same energy and creativity as his previous two. It's a long album and it starts strong with the first four songs but there's a noticeable dip in the middle. For example "Long hot summer night" isn't as good as "Crosstown Traffic". It does however pick up in the end and delivers classics like "All along the watchtower" and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Even though it has its lows it only goes from perfect to great.

Excellent album. A must introduction/

Awesome.

If we had more Hendrix, this album would be easier to critique in terms of its length and focus. However, this ultimately being all we get, it's a gift that he packed this thing to the gills. The standout features of "Electric Ladyland" is Hendrix's masterful guitar work. He effortlessly shifts between delicate, intricate solos and explosive, high-energy riffs, showcasing a range of techniques and styles. Tracks like "Voodoo Chile" and "All Along the Watchtower" are prime examples of his virtuosity and ability to create emotional depth through his playing. This album makes you feel music. Especially if you get to listen to it with LossLess audio. Insane.

classic. duh

loef

One of the greatest albums ever recorded. Changed a generation.

mama he made that guitar WEEP

Jimi is the man!

There is a reason he’s still worshipped today.

This album has a few absolutely amazing songs on it, but I'd need to be wayyyyyy stoned to want to listen to the whole thing front to back again.

I knew this day would come. Hendrix was a virtuous. His guitar playing is ferocious and unparalleled. But I don't really care for listening to this for over an hour. A lot of non-memorable tracks and a handful of standalone greats. 'Gypsy Eyes' is groovy and '1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)' is epic. The album sounds like it's a live recording with a group of friends as the audience, and while the atmosphere is great, I don't think there is enough interesting material here to warrant the excessive runtime. Then, of course, 'All Around The Watchtower' just hits out of fucking nowhere! Perhaps the greatest cover of all time and the soundtrack to countless movies set during the Vietnam war. 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' keeps up the pace with one of the most iconic riffs of all time and a powerhouse vocal performance by Hendrix. What a way to end an album - I just wish there were more moments like these on the first 66 minutes.

There’s no guitarist quite like Hendrix. A virtuoso with a sound unlike anyone else. Electric Ladyland opens strong with a brilliant Side A with “Voodoo Chile” as the centerpiece. But then it dawns on me, why it’s been so long since I last revisited this album. Side B is almost completely unnecessary taken into consideration that this is almost an hour and 15 long. “Gypsy Eyes” is good but it might have been wiser to cut the side all together to avoid the sense of fatigue towards the end. Hendrix picks up the pace again on “1983…” and more or less keeps everything interesting from there on out. Everything is forgotten when “All Along the Watchtower” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” kicks in though. Especially the first of the two final songs is an absolute masterpiece and easily one of greatest covers of all time. It sounds almost surreal, like nothing else on the record. I’ve heard it countless times and every time I hear it it still sounds fresh, new and exciting. What a way to end what turned out to be his final album alive.

guitarrita

Sure gut!!! 5 von 5

Oh how I have tried to love this. I love psychedelic music so gutted that I’m missing out on this but I don’t get it. Possibly missed the boat on this one, that the guitar sounds & studio techniques are dated and now the norm. Trying to listen and spot the barriers being smashed 50 years down the line is tricky, Half Man Half Biscuit smashed more barriers in their latest EP. There’s a melancholy to this typical of the time. I like the way you can hear people in the studio having a party though. Best guitarist ever I wouldn’t know about that it’s not obvious from this. It’s a wide ranging LP lots of styles it’s a proper double LP. Maybe half a trip instead of my bottle of red would do the trick, there’s loads going on but he’s no singer to my ears. No surprise given the age but this has dated. Very clear Stone Roses influencer for their 2nd LP but they should have stuck with the Byrds.

Pretty jammy. Like stoner jazz.

Estupendo disco de blues-rock de uno de los mejores guitarristas. Evocador y con grandes temas.

Trodde jag gillade det här, har ju skivan, men nej. Det bästa var ju det experimentella men det var ju bara några minuter. Förlåt, Jimi.

”Tror du att du kan få ihop till ett dubbelalbum, Jimi? Om du skrapar ordentligt i kanterna?”

60-talet... vik hädan!

Sometimes it feels a bit like a "training session", but ok.

Classic Jimi Hendrix, faultless just like Are You Experienced and Axis (which are a lot shorter and which I know a bit better).

Great rock album with some of Hendrix' best songs and the iconic cover of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. The mixing is quite adventurous and raw, which I did not initially appreciate, but with the second listen this was no longer an issue for me.

Lots of strong songs and brilliant guitar playing. Unfortunately too much jamming for me to stay really tuned.

Has a lot more rock than I normally associate with Jimi for some reason. And then one random song that sounded like The Beatles?

I think I had Hendrix's greatest hits. This makes more sense as an album, though; it's long, but you can get absorbed in the trippy guitars. I like the way the best tracks (All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Chile) are saved for last.

Guitar go brrrrr again

LP

Talented

I literally listened to Voodoo Chile everyday on my Walkman walking to school. It would was the perfect length for my 15-minute walk.

That’s Steve Winwood on the Hammond organ for Voodoo Chile.

I was excited to listen to this album because I've always enjoyed Jimi Hendrix whenever I happened to hear his music and wanted to listen to a full album. He didn't disappoint. The guitars were as mindblowing as ever and all along the watchtower never gets old. He also hopped between different genres a lot; mainly garage blues but also a good amount of jazz. Voodoo Chile and its reprise were also standouts.

Seems like an Album that you had to be there

Gotta give it 5 stars for the sellar long tracks. But I’d forgotten just how much unfinished filler was on this record.

This is the second Jimi Hendrix album I’ve listened to since starting the (at least) one album every day project. The other album, Are You Experienced, absolutely blew me away, so I’m excited to hear more. Songs I already knew: Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic Favourites: Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic This album had some phenomenal tracks with exceptional guitar planning, rich vocals, and all around fantastic craftsmanship with the composition of the music itself. However, it also had plenty of songs that I don’t felt really added anything - I don’t feel that anyone would really miss Burning Of The Midnight Lamp if it was never included. It’s also a fairly long album, so the less interesting songs can result in the better ones having less impact. Overall, I did enjoy the album, but it could have been better if it was cut shorter.

This is the third, and I believe final Hendrix album on this list. I still think the dude is crazy overrated. Yeah, All Along The Watchtower is a stone cold classic, but the rest doesn't interest me. I dont care that he was a guitar virtuoso; if he can't write songs that I don't really want to hear that means nothing to me. His vocals have always been supbar too. Feel free to fight me on this one.

Jimi Hendrix is a very amazingly talented guitarist and for what it's worth the jams are legendary but sitting through 75 minutes of it is a little too much for me for me to call an experience I could thoroughly enjoy. 7/10

I like Jimi Hendrix, but I have a hard time with this album because it is so long and meandering.

A fun listen, very groovy

Brilliant as always/.

Like honey butter

Good vibes and great classic rock album

Amazing Album. Nothing But Hits.

I don't really love the tracks that stop halfway through, and then you can hear the band shuffling around, then they get started again. Maybe just do another take? It's hard to be mad at Jimi, though. Best track: All Along the Watchtower

Fantastisk hvor mange unike ideer som er på dette albumets mange hits også

prrrr prrr pwwgnnnnhhh

Electric Ladyland is the third and final album by The Jimi Hendrix Experience before Jimi Hendrix's death two years later in 1970. This commercially successful psychedelic rock double album confused critics at release, but has since been viewed as Hendrix's best work. It reached number one on the Billboard 200 Top Albums chart just six weeks after release - Hendrix's only album to do so - and remained there for two weeks. The popular single - a cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" - is a masterpiece and sold well in its own right. This album is a classic in both the rock and psychedelic genres, and can be argued as the most important album of rock music. I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing album, but it was bittersweet knowing that Jimi Hendrix would leave this physical plane so quickly after its release - robbing the world of successive incredible rock albums. RIP Jimi Hendrix - a rock & roll guitar god.

Jimi at his absolute best.

Did not like the live nature, even though I usually do. Long version of some songs was ok. Audio quality was compromised due to the nature of the recording.

Love Hendrix!!

Absolutely solid. I prefer Are You Experienced slightly more, but an amazing album nonetheless

A nearly flawless record. Yeah, a few songs just weren't my cup of tea even though I could recognize the sheer talent and creativity oozing from them. But this can't NOT get a 5.

The greatest album ever made. No debate

This was always going to be a straight 5 for me. You see Jimi is a musical genius, on a different level to do many. Take this in in full, as it builds all the way through and then finally hits the last 2 tracks. Does life get any better on a Saturday morning? Nah.

Pretty good! Fell in love with Voodoo Chile

Good. Pretty good. Too bad two songs are about 14/13 minutes long!

In its genre, Peerless

Although I'm familiar with most of this album, I'm not sure if I've ever listened to it in it's entirely. So amazing, yet if feels a little too long. The songs on the first half feel a little disjointed until Gypsy Eyes. From there to the end really comes together. Favorite tracks: Voodoo Chile, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, and Still Raining Still Dreaming.

Hangulatos, az utolsó 2 track pedig őrület jó, ritka hogy a vége ilyen erős legyen egy lemeznek.

manche songs nicht so geil, andere dafür straight up masterpieces

Cet album détonne tellement avec ce qui se faisait en 1968. Il est en avance. J’entends des concepts qu’on ne revoit que dans les années 1990. Certaines choses sont par contre bien ancrées en 1968, comme certaine harmonies vocales, certaines mélodies et certains choix de sons. Il y a aussi Little miss strange qui ne va pas là. Autrement, c’est du solide.

Probablement l’album le plus ambitieux de Jimi. Pas le plus accessible, mais plusieurs pièces importantes s’y retrouvent comme Crosstown Traffic (ma préférée), Gypsy Eyes, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) et la célèbre reprise de All Along the Watchtower de Bob Dylan.

Rock de Hendrix. Vinilo.

Un poco rollo. No me ha llamado la atención.

Perhaps my favourite Hendrix album. I was always more of a fan of his blues influenced stuff.

Its a big sprawling epic that prob needs a bit of editing. A couple of ambitious spacy jams (eg "Merman") that seem to go in forever. JHs 3rd and final (double) studio album has some massive tracks "Voodoo Chile, Watchtower, Midnight Lamp, Crosstown Traffic" that gives it classic status. 4

Classic rock album. Plenty to sink your teeth into on this one. Psych rock with some bluesy vibes with even some little jazz influences thrown in for good measure. Grew up with the record and it still does not disappoint.

Flawless

It's alright

Not his best but still pretty sick

first listen a fuzzy blues journey

My only complaint would be that it’s a bit long, but it’s still Jimi ♥️

Hendrix is always a go to for me, but I always felt that this as a double album was a bit too much, with a few tracks that are definite... filler. The album really takes advantage of stereo, having the sound moving from the one speaker to the other. That seems to happen a LOT on this album, maybe even a bit too much. It teeters on the 4 to 5 star edge. What does it have going for it? Let's see, such iconic songs: "Crosstown Traffic," "All Along The Watchtower" (I don't think I can even remember how the original goes), "Voodoo Chile"(Slight Return), "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp". One of my favorite underappreciated gems is "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be...)". Such a great song and melody there. What pulls it back? "Little Miss Strange". Look, I get that Hendrix sometimes wants to just play and have someone else sing. But Noel Redding is not a great lead singer. "House Burning Down" is clunky to me. It never sells as a hit like the other songs. "Gypsy Eyes" feels like a demo to me. I always felt that that one should have been reworked. And that first interpretation of "Voodoo Chile" always seems too long to me. It could have been pared down some. SO this I think could have been pared down to one single album instead of a double. It is good, and a lot people can make the argument about it being a classic. Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold As Love are more coherent. This album could have been trimmed down easily to a 45-46 minute album. Sorry, it's just how I feel about it

Decadent is how I would describe this album. Do we need the 15 minute Voodoo Chile or 13 minute 1983, or all the guitar solos, leadups (And the Gods Made Love), or jam sessions in these songs? No, that is for Jimi and his band. And the tighter Voodoo Child is still epic. But is it awful? No, and Hendrix is one of the most revered guitarists in history for a reason. So for all the self-indulgence you're usually listening to genius at work. But yes, it could be tighter.

You know very good. Except that it stressed me out majorly, I’m not a random sounds person.

Probably not my favorite Hendrix album but it is great

Man tokio tipo muzika yra 50 ant 50. Kartais tinka ir prilimpa, kartais pamates nebenori pagalvot apie jos ijungima. Sitas albumas visai neblogas, turi tokio USA vibe, filmo vaibu žodžiu. Labiausiai patinkanti daina Crostown Trafic. Pirma kart klausau sio atilikejo dainu savu noru, anksciau turbut esu tik girdėjas , bet tikrai nezinojau kad cia jis.

nemirtingas albumas galimai Klausydavau seniau daug 'All along the watchtower' - bauda konkreti Kitas dainas pirmą kart klausiau, tik pradėjus klausyt 'Crosstown Traffic' iškart keliavo į playlistą 'Voodoo Chille' buvo per ilga daina sutelkt dėmesiui įsiklausyt.

Sorry Jimi but somebody should have stepped in here and told you this album is a load of wank with two good songs

Probably was more groundbreaking at the time. It's fine

All Along The Listentower

Great tunes.

2.5

lyhyempänä olisi toki toiminut ehkä vielä paremmin, mut toisaalta live-tunnelmaan sopii loputon pituus. tosi hyvä alku eikä hyytynyt loppua kohden, mitä nyt meni johonkin transsiin

Tuotannollisesti tämä on loistava, ja levylle on saavutettu upea livesoundi. 15 minuutin jammailut ovat silti koettelemuksia, eikä biisimateriaali ole riittävän ihmeellistä kannatellakseen lyijynraskasta kokonaisuutta.

mahatava album jota yllättäen en koskaan alusta loppuun kuunnellu... häpeän... siis tällä hetkellä kun kirjoitan tätä niin häpeän... sitten ku sä siis jos siihen aikan kun luet tätä niin en häpeä... ei kyllä femmaan yllä joka oli vähän oletus. täysin kiinteä neljä kuitenkin. albumi alkaa hitaammampuoleisesti ensimmäiset 45 minuuttia vaikka hyvää kuunneltavaa suurimmalta osaltaei mitenkään järisyttävää,, loppupuolella kiihtyy ja tulee vähän valtavirta biisejä (jotka on tosi hyväiä kyllä) paras biisi noh.... laitetaan shout outti come on (let the good times roll) vaikea valita kuitenkin...

Obviously some absolute classics there, but there is definitely some filler.

good. not my favorite album though. 57/112

Despite being overlong I liked this more than axis. It felt a more complete whole. Jimmy was great, but not sure he was always an album artist, that may have eventually come about, but will never know. I was soothed by the irony of listening to cross town traffic in a traffic jam.

4.2 + Though it doesn't quite jell as a record, there are enough incredible tracks to make this an amazing listen. I tend to skip to the best bits; namely, the first couple of tracks that provide psychedelic framing, the poppy "Crosstown Traffic" and the strangely melancholy "Burning of the Midnight Lamp." The second half also punches hard with "1983...", maybe the finest example of a psychedelic freakout that builds a post-apocalyptic underwater sci-fi world through studio effects, impressionistic drumming and Hendrix's wash of guitar color.

Love this album Jimi at his best

I can dig it

7/8 watched tower

Voodoo Child is a powerful blues songs and its goddamn forever long. Burning Of The Midnight Lamp is pretty good. Still Raining, Still Dreaming sucks.

Another iconic talent. There's no doubt this guy knew how to play a guitar. I had to take this one in small doses however as it's a bit overwhelming.

Pretty good.

maybe i give out 5’s too flippantly, or maybe i just really like 60’s-70’s rock music. also it’s Jimi Hendrix, and half the songs on this album are in my spotify likes. it’s a 5 for me homie

Loved it, all along the watchtower is a fave.

Not going to lie, Hendrix is the kind of guitarist who discloses his best tricks very early on and so once you’ve heard it once you don’t have to hear it too many more times. I also take umbrage at the psychedelic label attached to his music - trippy delta blues this may be, but 13th Floor Elevators it ain’t. That being said there’s a lot to like about this album. Leaving aside the monstrous ending, there are some great jams here (“Crosstown Traffic” and “Little Miss Strange”) and they actually tend to be songs where Hendrix’s noodling take a back seat. There is a great deal of unfocused meandering licks on this record, but he always pulls it back. The album length is often derided for precisely this reason, but there are occasional long tracks which justify their presence on the record - the sprawling 1983 is my favourite track on the album, which definitely gives space for Hendrix’s more experimental (and, dare I say, properly psychedelic) tendencies. On the whole, a great record.

It’s kinda like Hendrix’s “white album” in my opinion way too overblown but still has some of his best tracks as you dig deep… At the start of the album you get an instrumental track then two mini tracks that are entertaining but largely unsatisfying then voodoo chille comes on it’s dirty,messy, and very overblown but an amazing song none the less and from a guitarist perspective the playing on this track is godly! The next track Little Miss strange is also fairly notable as like she’s so fine on axis bold is love it’s a more Beatles esque track written by bass player Noel Redding ( Little miss strange is much cooler than she’s so fine though because the guitars are so dirty). Following that track is long hot summer night a track (where like have you ever been to electric ladyland and crosstown traffic) is a song that is satisfying on the listen but not one that I would point out and say it’s a banger. Come on is full on bluesy madness really enjoyable and great guitar work but it’s a cover track and does an album this long need a cover? Gypsy eyes unfortunately comes across as filler to my ears but hey not dreadful. Burning of the midnight lamp is arguably one of the most unique tracks that he had ever written absolutely loved this one. Side three all kinda revolves around the 13 minute opus 1983 with the track before and after being like slightly different intro’s and outro’s. 1983 though is epic I could tell I would love this after the first minute or so the track sounds so grand and epic almost like a climax point for the album and it’s one if like 3 songs over 6 minutes that I don’t feel overstay it’s welcome. The final side seems to go for a no bullshit approach to the tracks still raining still dreaming is one of those perfect displays of Hendrix’s guitar playing skills. House of fire is a continuous decent into chaos as a military march style verse evolves into Hendrixy craziness. All along the watchtower is absolutely amazing certainty proof that Bob Dylan’s music is always 100x better when someone does their own rendition of it. Voodoo child (slight return) is the condensed version of voodoo chille and is probably the better version in my opinion, an amazing way to close a great album. It’s good the highs are his best ever and the lows are still good 5/5 because I’ll feel bad as I gave axis a 5 so this probably deserves about the same score.

Hendrix's White Album. It might also be his masterpiece. No one is allowed to proclaim someone the greatest guitarist of all-time without listening to this album first.

Hendrix. Yeah, baby.

Raw and passionate. A few new songs and a couple of classics. Explains well what is awesome from Jimy Hendrix.

I mean the songs I alr knew were as good as I remembered, and the others were as good as (often better than) I expected, so nothing really blew my mind - except that I never really appreciated his panning before, and I think that's a super important factor to why this is a good album, the stereo sound is incredible. Highlights: the majority of it - obv Watchtower and Slight Return, but also Have you Ever Been and Rainy Day. Lowlights: 1983 didn't work as well as I wanted it to (although it opened real well - I'm all for a good jam but it didn't feel very cohesive), the short ones just felt like filler, and Still Raining was just... there, a very cheesy ending and sorta felt like they just wanted to fake the idea of the album being a lot more cohesive by varying another song's title If I had to shit on it for no reason I would say that some of the songs felt sorta bare, like the focus was entirely on the guitar, which is cool but can't do everything. And it's also just a little too long. like I get it but like a lot could have been cut to create something a lot more cohesive and impactful. I mean there's no doubt in anyone's mind that Jimi is one of the greatest guitarists, but I think as a whole, the album isn't his magnum opus - low 4.5

Yo

Ya man, that's Hendrix.

Jimi is amazing on guitar. The drumming on this album is incredible. Voodoo Chile is great but outlives its welcome.

That was a slog to get through

Fantastic album voodoo chile

Experimental very Experimental but Kind of nice tonhear as well

Yuck!

This album was like torture. Me and Jimi have very different opinions on whether or not directional sounds should be in music.

I have really only ever listened to the Jimi Hendrix Experience Album Are You Experienced? Not sure why I haven’t listened to the other two albums with his band. This is much more meandering and less straight rock focused than that album. This album seems to be mixed better. It sounds more like a studio album than their first album but in a different way than most studio albums. It sounds like the musicians are in the room with you. There is a perfectionism to the tracks while somehow sounding loose and improvisational. It is as if you are in the studio while they are playing the tracks live. The mixing is much better than than Are You Experienced? from what I recall. Think I might like this more than AYE

First track is pleasantly strange/unnerving. Voodoo chile kinda caught me off guard with its 14 minute run time. Same with 1983... 15 minutes of one song every other track is kind of exhausting after a while. Hendrix's version of all along the watchtower is all i expected out of the original without the painful harmonica accompaniment. A solid 4 stars

Not a fan of the genre of psychedelic blues...but, I will say, Mr. Hendrix can play the heck out of that guitar!~ Best song is "Cross Town Traffic"

Great listen.

First track was strange. Why is the first track on an album almost always filler? Crosstown Traffic is an absolute banger. It’s weird that I’ve never actually listened to a Hendrix album.

Kiistatta yksi historian kovimmista kepittäjistä, mutta omaan makuun turhankin paljon kikkailua. Kuuntelin levyn kolmessa osassa ja en tiedä oliko se hyvä vai huono juttu.

Takuuvarmaa

gddfgfggfd

Voodoo Chile is epic with Steve Linwood and Jack Casady, probably my favorite guitar song of all time. 1983 is also super trippy, I remember tripping on shrooms and listening to this. Little miss strange is the only real throwaway. got this on vinyl at the boardwalk in New Jersey. The naked ladies original cover has always interested me haha. Bob Dylan said that Jimi made all along the watchtower his song on this performance. crosstown traffic is awesome. got the deluxe edition of this 2022, outtakes and cool stuff. Last studio album by Jimi.

Niet flink geluisterd maar eh

Great album. Voodoo Chile and 1983 still a little long for my liking, but a lot of good tracks

Love this album, have listened to this record more times than I can count

Good guitar riffs ofc. Voodoo Chile brings it to 4

All time classic some great guitar riffs nice psychedlic sound

It's not my favourite Hendrix album but it probably is his definitive musical statement. He uses the recording studio and a whole cast of supporting musicians (and backing vocalists) in addition to his regular band to paint his vision, a trippy kaleidoscopic soundscape, mixing jazz, pop, rock and psychedelia to great effect. It's not perfect mind you. Like most double albums it does sag a bit in places, especially on the longer jam tracks. But there are so many classic tracks, it's easy to overlook these flaws. All Along the Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic, Vodoo Chile, Gypsy Eyes are among the many highlights. It also contains my favourite Hendrix track, the majestic Burning of the Midnight Lamp, which still sends shivers up my spine. Whilst today he is mostly remembered as a rock guitarist there was a spirit (especially in his lyrics) that aligns him closer to the psychedelic movement. By all accounts Hendrix was a very modest, charming and lovely person; it's tragic there were only 3 proper studio albums during his lifetime.

Jimi is the man.

Full bore bonafide classic album, and I'll fight anyone who wants to argue

Can't go wrong with Jimi.

Great album, great talent! Couple of bugbears, few of the tracks are far too long! and few tracks fade out, bit of a lazy way to end a song. I'm still confused about the "Voodoo Chile/Child" spellings and versions? I tried to research it, but none the wiser. 4

What vibes and what solos. Still packs a punch. Only knock is that "Watchtower" feels a bit out of place here, as great as it is.

Este álbum envejeció BIEN. Una verdadera joya atemporal. Poder zurdo no joda.

Absolute classic

Fundamental e pede outra audição

I mean its got to be a 5 right? Its relentlessly just so so good. Every song is so pleasing. Undisputed legend, must be gifted as how he writes the songs I don't know. I would start picking out favourite songs, but the list would be too long

Well it's magnificent. Some great tracks on here and that version of Voodoo Chile is the best I reckon, very raw. Only bad point is it's very heavy on the stereo sound, pushing stuff all over the place which I think is a result of when that was popular and things were remastered

very instrumentally appeasing and created an almost immersive experience with the expertise in musicality.

So much raw talent for a debit albulm. Sounds like the beginning of what is to come. Voodoo Child is my favorite.

classic album.

Great for background listening while working. Even though it has words, they're not super clear so it blends into the background easy. Haven't heard Jimi Hendrix in a long time! Nice change.

Jimi is always good. This album isn’t as good as the Ultimate Collection, but it’s still great to listen to in the background when need something to put you in the groove.

This has a lot of my favourite Hendrix stuff. Listening to it today, I think I enjoyed it more than Axis Bold as Love.

I have heard sooooo much of this album over time and never listened to the whole thing at once. Quite a different experience... Crosstown Traffic, a classic. I thought I knew Voodoo Chile but not clocking in at this length of time. Little Miss Strange is kind of a fun awesome song but sound like something that would have been from 10-15 years earlier. You can reduce this whole thing to one song though and still get 5 stars, Hendrix's cover of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower is the kind of creation everyone would love to be able to put their name on.

good

It was a great soundtrack to a wonderful Sunday morning drive.

Essential Hendrix. The tones and textures are as crucial as the musical content. Also, classic rock always sounds great after not hearing it for a while.

Classic. Solid guitar skills. Perfect at 4 am.

Solid.

Viel mehr Blues als erwartet

Good

A great album by a legend taken too soon. Some hits but never a bad song.

Long showcase of Jimi shredding the guitar. Standouts "All Along the Watchtower", "Voodoo Child"

There are some straight killer songs on this album and the guitar is so so good! Not enough for a 5 but a definite 4.5

There’s a fair amount of songs on here that I’m not drawn to, but the good songs are SO GOOD.

Jimi right after the Isley Brothers is appropriate. Ok, so I really struggled to find this album online; I actually own a physical copy but it's at my parents' house. So this review may not be based on all the songs, or the canonical album versions. But, either way, there's enough pure gold on this to justify a 5 no matter what: All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child, Gypsy Eyes, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, .... and basically every song has, unsurprisingly, absolutely killer guitar. So I'm not gonna overthink this.

Parts are very good; Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo child, and of course, All Along the Watchtower. But a bit long for my taste.

And the gods made love was a super trippy intro… makes me wonder how strong the LSD was back then. Voodoo Chile was excellent and jammy but fucking long lol. Kinda got lost in the middle because I was working and stopped taking notes. All along the watchtower is an absolute fucking classic of course.

Love me some Hendrix. Big fan of a good number of the tracks. All along the watchtower being my absolute favorite.

Amazing album, Hendrix was a master.

Pure celebration of blues and psychedelic music while showing Jimi's masterful craftsmanship and wistful imagination

Some of the actual best songs ever created.

Wow, I guess this album opened Jimi's music to me. Sounds great!

Amazing my favourite jimi album

Oh man, the funk, the jam, the riffs... Virtuosity and the spirit of the 60s. While some songs underperform, the rest does the magic for me. Highlights: Voodoo Chile, Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

erry noice

Heard before: yes Some truly awesome tracks on here - Jimi was undeniable one of the greatest - and I get why people still say the greatest. His playing is so full of feeling. Some of the longer tracks aren’t as strong as others - I enjoyed Voodoo Chile, but would happily see 1983… cut. Favourite tracks: Voodoo Child (Slight Return), All Along the Watchtower, Crosstown Traffic, Gypsy Eyes, Have You Ever Been Least favourite tracks: 1983…, Little Miss Strange, Burning of the Midnight Lamp

Oj ja råka somna tusen gånger medan albumet var igång snark

G.O.A.T.

altas bops que guitarron voodoo chile no se siente filler, pero un poco largo

Some good songs and a lot of what felt like guitar porn... Would probably have been a 3-star for me until we hit the last two songs which are fantastic.

Yeah I know it’s special guitar playing, but just doesn’t do much for me.

One the the best 1001 albums? More like one of the best 1 albums. Can you imaging hearing this in 1968? Must have been the coolest music in existence. Ahead of its time.

pretty good psychedelic rock

Held together by the strength of voodoo Chile and all along the Watchtower. Really wonderful bluesy psychedelic rock album. I love the hits off this one, but the rest always felt like filler to me. Cross town traffic and little Miss strange were always skipped when I listened to this album. I have listened to it lots, so it has obvious staying power.

Grateful to have heard this album and learned the story behind it. Last album before Jimi's band broke up, I didn't know the song was called 'Voodo Chile', nor that the part I knew was a separate song called 'Slight Revisit' from the 15 minute jam session of the actual song. All Along the Watchtower is another true classic.

This is the good stuff. Such a fun psychedelic journey, and Jimi does an incredible job with his guitar playing as well as vocals. The unfortunate fact about being a part of a band that houses Jimi Hendrix is that you will often get overlooked or overshadowed. Mitch Mitchell seems to be a victim of this, and in my opinion could lead a group in the same way that Buddy Rich or Neil Peart did. The talent within the Jimi Hendrix Experience is just ridiculous. This record has such a nice flow to it, remains fresh throughout, the solos absolutely shred, and it doesn't get old after multiple listening sessions. 'Tis a thing of beauty. Perfection. Fave tracks: Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be), All Along the Watchtower

A true master, his skills shine through bright as ever on this record. Ambitious lengthy jam tracks mixed in with some top tier radio hits, this album doesn't let up for a second, and yet it still doesn't feel long enough. Fav Tracks: Crosstown Traffic, 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be), All Along The Watchtower

Pretty bitchin’ album. The longer format of the album and the songs themselves could’ve made it a bit much, but the musicians are just fantastic at ‘improvising’ and keeping it interesting. 7/10

Normally when a musician dies this early (and I cringe at the concept of the "27 club"), once you get past the unbearable fanboys you generally just have something that's pretty good, but not the ALL TIME GREAT the supernerdfans pretend it is. The cults of Kurt Cobain, John Lennon and Jeff Buckley are probably the best examples of this. On the other hand, Hendrix and Zeppelin (not that Zep all died, but they did break up bc of a death) do really have something to them that's more than just idiotic nostalgia and entry-level fanboy hype. This isn't Hendrix's best (I prefer Are You Experienced) but it's still a testament to its catchy licks that despite going for 75 fucking minutes and descending into jam sessions more than I'd like, it's still getting a 4/5.

Fav songs: - 1983... (A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be) - All Along The Watchtower

A harsh 3/5. I like jimi's blues and rock but can never get the psychedelic stuff

Good. Bluesy. Strong work.

Nearly 5 stars. All along the Watchtower is amazing.

There are the tracks you already know and love - Voodoo Child, Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower - and then the rest is a meandering, unfocused mess, jazz-like tracks which go on no particular journey. It’s a massive disappointment from such talented artists.

What a fucking banger

Endless delight

Fast, loose and tight as fk. Can understand why Clapton was worried. Couple of road trip memories in here from Dad listneing the best of album

Easily the best Experience album

surprisingly good I didn't know I liked Jimi Hendrix like that

I thought this was a bit mixed, to be honest.

Favorite songs were Crosstown Traffic and House Burning down. Voodoo Chile was too long and too bluesy for me. Nothing else really stood out. Some of the instrumentals were pretty cool, especially the guitar. But then, it's Jimi Hendrix.

Probably in my top three albums of all time fairly constantly

Some excellent guitar playing. I would probably appreciate it more if I played it myself

The best Hendrix album. Are You Experienced? is great too, but a little played out IMO. I've never been a fan of Axis: Bold as Love personally. But Electricladyland is still fresh.

4.5

No Jimi on Youtube music.....

Cross Town Traffic, All Along the Watchtower, and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) are rightly classics, and there is a lot of other stuff I really liked on here. However, it is very sprawling and the moments of genius get lost amongst the rest of the atmospheric and varied album. Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Date listened: 31/05/22

Great

Had never listened to the full album. Amazing.

Some absolute belters on here. Not sll perfect but you can't give an album with crosstown traffic and voodoo Chile less than 5

Great guitars, funky album.
