Electric Ladyland

It's been so long since I listened to Jimi. It used to be everyday... it's a welcome return. #208 all time on last.fm

Great album. I can see why it is so highly rated. Felt very real, and live for a studio album. Everything is tight and it reminded me of jazz more so than rock, but it was definitely rock.

This album is one of my favourites, and I think it probably shows haw Hendrix saw his music evolving. Alternately bluesy, jazzy and heavy, it has a real mix of styles. The top tracks for me would be Voodoo Chile (slight return) and All Along The Watchtower, but really I love every track.

Electric Ladyland sounds nice, but I really want to visit Fireman City

One last triumph, a lingering question of what could have been. Forever the greatest.

...And The Gods Made Love Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)? Crosstown Traffic Voodoo Chile Long Hot Summer Night 1983... (A Mermaid I Should Turn To Be) All Along The Watchtower Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

A million stars. Musical perfection.

Pretty damn great

It’s a Jimi album so automatic 5

well i get why people call him one of the greatest of all time now

I prefer Are You Experienced and Axis but all three are all time top 100 rock albums.

Listen to 1001 albums, or listen to this one 1001 times. Now put up the vinyl cover you cowards! 5 rainy days out of 5 🌂🌂🌂🌂🌂

Jimi was probably one of the most talented people who ever lived. This album, while long and less cohesive than his other two albums is a masterwork of psych, blues and sound that is as fresh and incredible today as it was in 68.

Classic! Every one of his albums are better than the last.

one of my favorite double albums. couple tracks i don’t revisit, but an overall great body of work. shame we didn’t get more jimi.

Amazing how quickly this double album flew by. Brilliant!

I am usually wary of double albums but this is excellent with some epic tracks. I had never listened to the full version of Voodoo Chile and was not disappointed. 1983... was another standout. Appreciated the in-studio jamming.

Voodoo Chile Crosstown Traffic All Along the Watchtower 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Classic

My fam Jimi Hendrix album. Being a double album at 1 hr 15 min is pretty tight for a guy who grew up during the CD era (most RHCP single discs are over an hour). Even the meandering songs hit it for me as they are offset by some tight blues soul numbers.

Fucking incredible.

Hade en skiva med Hendrix när jag var ung för det var coolt. Lyssnade inte direkt. Det ångrar jag. Introt är ascoolt. Crosstown Traffic lika så. Voodoo Chile är grymt tung cool låt. All Along the Watchtower är så jäkla bra. Grymt rakt igenom en riktigt njutbar lyssning. Jag ger högsta betyg.

It’s Hendrix. I could give a perfunctory five stars, but Electric Ladyland really deserves it. A timeless Dylan cover (“All Along The Watchtower”), a timeless song of Jimi’s own to be covered by SRV later (“Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)”), and jams that would go on to inspire psychedelic acolytes near and far, not least of which the Smashing Pumpkins (“1983…(A Mermaid I Should Turn to Be)”) — this record could well be the ultimate expression of the three-piece Hendrix despite the two landmark records that preceded it. Unmissable and unforgettable.

5/5

Absolutely loved this album since I first heard it over 30 years ago

a true blend of rock, blues, and psychedelia of which Hendrix is a master. His guitar playing dominates the album, co-started by his tight band and experimental/psychedelic studio effects. Phenomenal tone, particularly his lead fuzz tone. Pure wizardry throughout. Not my favorite Hendrix album, but a revelation nonetheless. Length could be cut a bit, but also don’t feel like this is an album that drags too much if you keep an open mind. A handful of classic songs - Watchtower, Voodoo Child, Gypsy Eyes, Crosstown Traffic - while the rest show off other impressive and fun aspects of the band.

Yeah, Jimi Hendrix at his Best, for me.

I mean...

Favorite Tracks: Voodoo Child (Slight Return) All Alonf the Watchtower Voodoo Chile

I loved every minute of this. An amazing album to kick back to and enjoy. One of the few albums where its long songs has a purpose of being long and I love it for it. Amazing album through and through.

Yeah, that’s like a 10. I’ve really got no words – that was just 73 minutes of pure perfection, as far as I’m concerned. Yes, it does go a bit long, and yes, it does eventually start to wear on you with the guitar riffs and the percussion and the soundscape, and everything in between, but like… I could fucking care less. I loved every single track here (well, OK, “Still Raining, Still Dreaming” could’ve probably been cut), and I genuinely cannot believe I’ve never heard this album in full before today. I pretty much only knew Voodoo Child (Slight Return), and I knew about the existence of the All Along the Watchtower cover, but I’d never heard it, or the original song for that matter. I’m ignorant enough for not listening to the latter, but the other tracks on here are fucking incredible. I’ve really and truly got no other words; it’s a 10, it’s worth the listen, it’s so deeply recommended, and it’s so easily deserving to be on this list.

Almost perfect, but the extended songs prevent it just the tiniest bit. 4.5/5

Hendrix really lets rip here. There's a mix of psychedelic mind fuckery, purist blues, and proto-metal. Greatest guitarist ever? Most definitely - but never forget this cat could write a great tune too. Best Tracks: Crosstown Traffic; All Along the Watchtower; Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Excelente!!!!

Doesn’t get much better than this

gotta love a seasoned hendrix album

Only the good die young (much too young!)

THE GOAT

From the title track to his cover of All Along the Watchtower, there isn't a bad song on this album. 1983 A Mermaid I should turn to Be is such a beautiful song and incredibly easy to just lose your entire self into. Especially after the last batch of Queen albums, which were disjointed at best, every song in this flows so well into each other and leaves you eagerly anticipating the next while longing to hear the last again. Just a wonderful album.

Okay this is fucked up I just started listening to this album randomly today. The hits are hits for obvious reasons (cross town traffic, voodoo child (slight return) and all along the watch tower. The deep cuts feel deeper/less immediate than “are you experienced?” or “axis: bold as love” but they have more character to some extent. Upon relistening, the voodoo could 15 minute jam, Gypsy’s eyes, rainy day, dream away, burning of the midnight lamp and house burning down just show that he was getting more expressive and experimental with his guitar techniques and tones and really hypnotize you after awhile. Its sad that we were robbed of this voice so early as this album is proof he was only hitting his creative stride.

Loved it!

6/5

We already know this is god tier!

Loved it

People still catchin up to this.

Great guitar playing and fantastic songwriting.

It doesn't matter what you think about this album - if you like or dislike it - it is one of the most important albums in the history of rock. As the last album of Hendrix, it can only make us imagine what could and would have come next.

his best album

A psychedelic journey through the mind of a master of sound. So much to love here, experimentation, broadening of sounds used in recording, face melting guitar solos, loose improvs, gorgeous lyrics to get lost in the scenery. I love this album!

Jimi Hendrix was a creative genius and Electric Ladyland was his Magnum Opus. On the album he had tight concise songs like Crosstown Traffic and a cover of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower. Then he had songs like 1983 where he appeared like he was just letting his creative juices flow.

Incredibly timeless

Classic. What can you expect from the God of guitar himself.

What a legend! I can completely understand how Hendrix scared the shit out of Clapton and Townsend

this is is amazing wtf, what did they put into this album

Hands down one of Jimi’s best

Changes the world of guitars. A very good to excellent songwriter. At least one classic. Mitch Freaking Mitchell. Mitch freaking Mitchell

Well Hendrix does belong on this list. While I can only handle Hendrix in doses, it is undeniable - he is phenomenal - so different, original and 50 years on, its still stands out as unique - could anyone else conceive let alone execute this stuff. ... he had talent, and was self-tuaght which why he held the guitar left handed. I remember hearing his Dad gave him a Ukelele and thats how it all started. Mr Henderix brings another unimagined world to life and no dont need LSD to start to understand what psychadelics do - just listen to this music and his poetic vision. to borrow a Hendrix quote from another reviewer in my little pod: “My own thing is in my head. I hear sounds and if I don’t get them together, nobody else will”. P.S. the opening sound on the album sounds like opening sound in Dogs of War by Pink FLoyd. to me... P.P.S. Woudl Withnail & I have been quite so entertaining with Henrix for the mad Jaguar driving scene?

In 1969, when it was obvious that I was going to get the boot from Sydney University Law School, I started applying for jobs. One I applied for was as a cadet journalist at the Newcastle Morning Herald. And when I decided I should include an example of my writing,I threw together an 800-word review of Electric Ladyland. I didn’t get the job, but I still have a copy of the review. I’ve read worse. I’d bought the album when it was released in Australia at the end of 1968. The greatest cover version of all-time, Hendrix’s take on Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower, was released around the same time (reached #6 on the 2UE Top 40). The following year, when I first heard Dylan’s version on the John Wesley Harding L.P., I could not believe that that was what Hendrix had turned into such a masterpiece. Burning Of The Midnight Lamp had been released as a single in 1967 & I still remember where I first heard it - on a jukebox in the old Surreyville Dancehall on City Road, Darlington(complete with sprung dancefloor & not long before it became part of the Wentworth Building at Sydney University). This was the song that introduced me to the wah-wah effect, being the first time Hendrix used it. The other single released from the album was the double-A-sided Crosstown Traffic (in my original review I praised “the clever use of stereo separation) & Gypsy Eyes, the latter being one of my very favourite Hendrix tracks. As is Come On (Part 1), a reworking of Earl King’s Let The Good Time’s Roll. But the track from the album that I played most often was definitely Voodoo Child (Slight Return)- really a jam developed in the studio, it was released in the U.K. as a single after Hendrix died, and reached #1. The copy of the album I purchased in 1968 was an Australian pressing, with the staged photo of the Experience in their finery on the cover. I now have a reissued Australian copy with the 19 naked women on the cover - which was never Jimi’s idea - he wanted to use a photo taken by Linda Eastman (later McCartney) of the band with a group of children on the sculpture of Alice In Wonderland in New York’s Central Park. My original review ended with this Hendrix quote : “My own thing is in my head. I hear sounds and if I don’t get them together, nobody else will”.

Peter Prichard, co-owner of Scratches Records, shared his love of Jimi Hendrix with me when I was an impressionable teenager. When I was a penniless student, he let me tape a bunch of his Hendrix LPs, that I listened to obsessively (favourite record of that bunch: Jimi Plays Monterey - especially the way they tear through Killing Floor). And then when I started collecting records in the late 80s, there were lots of relatively inexpensive Hendrix vinyl around, so I bought a ton. All the studio albums and the posthumous collections, and compilations and live albums, and even some of the out-takes and pre-fame recordings on dodgy quasi-legitimate imprints. Loved them and listened to them a lot in my youth. These days, I don't dive quite as deep. I tend to stick to the studio recordings, a compilation of the best posthumous studio tracks, and a select few live records (Monterey, Band of Gypsys). The studio albums (and he only released three during his lifetime) are all special in their own way, especially because we know that they are albums basically as he wanted. Electric Ladyland is the polished magnum opus. The intricate arrangements and studio perfectionism reach a zenith here. Nobody had really ever arranged guitars like this before; new sounds appear and drop in to play for a few bars, and then retreat, weaving into a psychedelic tapestry. Double albums are usually, in my opinion, padded out and not worth the time. But I love all of this. It is a complete statement of everything that Jimi could do at the time, with a clutch of incredibly strong tracks, including Voodoo Chile (Slight Return), Crosstown Traffic, Come On, Gypsy Eyes, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, 1983. Even the covers are strong, especially Watchtower, which is often hailed as the greatest cover of all time. I even like the tracks that stretch out more, like Voodoo Chile (the slow blues version), Rainy Day Dream Away, or Still Raining Still Dreaming. I can listen to this the whole way through. The only weak moments are the brief soundscapes And the Gods Made Love or Moon Turn the Tides) and the Noel Redding composed and sung track Little Miss Strange (which is OK, but out of place). But then there’s Voodoo Chile (Slight Return). This is the Mount Everest of rock guitar. Between the slow blues version and the Slight Return, we have a whole history of the blues, rising from Mississippi delta roots all the way into a sci-fi afro-futurism. It’s powerful and foreboding and mysterious and just amazing guitar playing. This final track on his final completed studio album is Jimi at the absolute peak of his powers.

Great great great album.

Electric Ladyland is one of the most psychedelic albums I have ever heard. I don’t think Jimi put out anything that wasn’t next level.

He’s a genius

Classic

Really enjoyed this album.

5++++++++++

It’s all about the guitar. I loved listening to this album.

I don't think I've heard a "Live Concert" album from another band that made me feel more like I was in the audience at the club than this album which I THINK was studio recorded. Completely engrossing. Demands you to just sit in front of the speakers, clear your mind, and just let it all absorb into you. I've never listened to a Hendrix album, only the radio singles. I'm starting to understand why people say he was a genius.

I disagree with the reviews saying that the “filler” songs are unnecessary. There isn’t a single song on here I’d get rid of. They all add to the album. An argument could be made against Voodoo Chile, but it won’t be by me, I believe it’s awesome and I love it. Instrumentation, production, and vocals are, obviously, in another league. Jimi’s writing is really what shines here, to me. It feels more natural than his previous two records. The structure of the album is immaculate. Rises and dips that ultimately crescendo in two of his most iconic songs. Nothing about this album has ever left me feeling unsatisfied. 5/5

this album is always such a great experience, i’ve always had a love for it and i think everyone should listen to this at some point in their lives

Classic

Genuine double album without a scrap of filler. Genius.

I can imagine people getting high to this. Crosstown Traffic was stuck in my head all day.

Love many individual tracks and the psychedelic effects in the production. Love the way certain tracks flow into one another.

Guitar Hero R.I.P., "All Along the Watchtower" von Bob Dylan, die Essenz der Rockmusik, genial...

Una de las joyas de la corona .

Hay algo especial con este tipo. Es un viaje bello por un mundo espiritual paralelo al despingue diario en que vivimos. Una vibra que emana paz. Amo a este tipo y su musica. Este CD corre perfecto no hay ninguna cancion mala aunque creo que por mas buena que sea voodoo child no deberia durar 15 minutos. 5⭐️

Very experimental from the master. Call it whatever you want, (I call it proto-prog) but this works and Hendrix is simply cooking here. Shame what could have followed. Who know what direction he may have gone. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is simply a titanic closer.

There is so much to love about this record. The whole thing seems so relaxed, but the performances are intense and focused. Like the lightning and thunder and venom and fire are just flowing out of them freely and easily haha Crosstown Traffic has been one of my fave Jimi tracks for forever and I always wished his more 'straight ahead' tracks would get as much attention as the outlandish acid-y ones like Foxy Lady and Purple Haze. Either way the duo of Voodoo Chile/Voodoo Child (Slight Return) are probably enough on their own to make this record a 4 star rating. Having been seduced by the crazy guitar in Slight Return in my youth, today I found the 'original' idea even more compelling. Esp the give-and-take between Jimi's soloing and Steve Winwood's organ - really really great.

Listening to Hendrix often feels more akin to listening to a jazz record than a rock record. That is no where more apparent than on Electric Ladyland. Yes, it's bloated. But it is a marvelous sonic journey that seems to evolve and change with each listen.

I strongly believe that “Voodoo Chile” should have been placed later in the album, or perhaps taken out altogether. This is an example of what I see are major programming issues with the album… an overlong, indulgent blues number ends up killing the energy and momentum of an otherwise very creative, inventive album. Little Miss Strange is a sharp breath of fresh air after that! When we leave murky waters of Blues Jam Zone, Hendrix is powerful. His creative zeal is very detectable here… powerful, infectious guitar licks, but plenty of great synergy with the band. The songs are pretty good too! Lots of songs that slap you upside the face with their immediacy, locked rhythm, and AMAZING moments on guitar. Why does this need to be a double album again? Oh yeah, because it’s 1968, Blonde on Blonde happened, and these artists just can’t help themselves. Boo! More single albums please. Cut out the 14-minute jams, trim the fat, give me a deluxe in 39 years, or better yet another album. So few albums deliver on the promise of an hour 20, because so few artists have that kind of creative output that warrants that much music. Hendrix is a guitar god among mortals, but he’s also a creative songwriting force, and a true bandleader that goes beyond merely showcasing his considerable talents. To relegate his gifts merely for the guitarists to enjoy is a disservice to his legacy. As an album and a set of songs this is really, really good. Hendrix gets a pass, and this gets a 5. Most double albums are automatic deductions for me, and this clearly crosses a line into serious flaws, but I’m letting him off with a warning! Just for the sheer creative sparks flying by both Hendrix and his bandmates here. 5/5

👌🏻

Rock rarely sounds this good, I mean it, like RARELY. There's nothing clean about it, it's just an absolute cacophony of varied guitar tones, highly complementary backing players, and dizzyingly abstract and hazy lyrics (that are very much reflective of the time). Calling Hendrix a great guitar player is useless, you can't describe this shit, you just have to listen to it. The thing is I've listened to this before, and maybe I was just an idiot, but I didn't get it. Actually, I can say for a fact I was an idiot. Maybe it was because Jimi Hendrix was hyped up to be such an incredible guitar player that when I heard this (And the equally incredible "Are you Experienced") initially, I didn't get the aficionado, lightning-speed guitar playing my naive ears expected. Instead what I get here is pure electricity, numbing and fuzzy guitar tones that are so sharp and piercing. Distortion and feedback are the name of the game here with chords and sounds that blend seamlessly. The entire album has this insatiable live energy to it. I can't stress enough how much the dustiness of the rougher recording here works to this album's benefit. The song "Voodoo Chile" is this album's early masterpiece. The organ is so absolutely piercing and the drums pack such a deep punch. The song goes the distance in terms of length. It's like the band is trying to start a fire by solely using the friction between their instruments. It's like throughout its runtime, the fire blazes and then calms and goes out only to be ignited again. It's this up-and-down sequencing that makes this one track such a masterpiece. While this monster of a track is more than worth a mention, the shorter and more immediate tracks bring all the same fire. "Crosstown Traffic" is insanely hard. I love the syncopated singing and guitar line. At least that's what it sounds like and if that's not the case, then paint me even more impressed. "Little Miss Strange" has one of the most loveable basslines by Noel Redding. It's just worth mentioning that with each one of these "small" tracks, Hendrix's guitar playing takes on a new form. "Long Hot Summer" is laid back to the core and it's these songs that shine a light on the more psychedelic, pot-smoking, sounds of this album. I enjoy the vocal effects on Hendrix's vocals in the latter part of the drug-induced love song "Gypsy Eyes". This is one of my favorite-sounding songs, the strange panning and cutting must've been mind-blowing for the time (and kind of still is). The following "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" manages to sound like a horrifying inebriated fever dream while also sounding utterly serene. I love the chord progression on the organs during the little rifts in sound. The bassline and psychedelic guitar pairing in the middle of "1983..." perfectly capture the feelings of escape that Hendrix yearns for on this track. It also subtly matches the sub-aquatic theme the song hints at. "House Burning Down" is probably the most immediate and catchy song here. I have to mention "All Along the Watchtower", the Bob Dylan cover that introduced me to Hendrix. I always found the song's apocalyptic depictions of uncertainty to be mesmerizing. I always pictured the two characters here standing on a rampart (or watchtower I guess) of a large castle gazing into the oncoming danger in the distance while bickering about it rather than taking any sort of action. Hendrix does this song more than justice, with an incredible psychedelic passage nearing the end and an explosive finish. It's one of the greatest songs ever. I can't put into words how much I just adore the sounds of this album. Hendrix's talk-sing vocals complement the noisier moments here. The way his vocals get drowned out on a song like "Voodoo Chile" only makes everything seem more explosive. I think this album's cover perfectly sums up what you get here; a grainy, blurred, skin-peeling fire-red experience that you'll never forget.

This is THE Hendrix album. This is his Citizen Cane. This is Hendrix given full creative and artistic control. Sit down with this album and put on a good set of headphones to get the full experience. Feel the way the music moves across the landscape, this is sound in Ultra 3D. Jimi takes Delta Blues and fuses it with the Psychedelic. We travel from the sky and mountaintops to the ocean and below. From city streets to outer space and everywhere in between. Starting off with "... And the Gods Made Love", and right off you know this is not just another rock album. Weird and wild sounds attack and subside, ebb and flow and take you into the greeting of "Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)". A welcome to the show, open arms inviting you in. But now we gotta speed up to get across the city with "Crosstown Traffic" showing you the chops include more than mellow mixes. "Voodoo Chile" throws down the gauntlet and let's you know just how much a BAMF Jimi is. Break into "Little Miss Strange" for a bit lighter fare, fun and bouncy before sliding into a sultry"Long Hot Summer Night" "Come On (Let The Good Times Roll)" & "Gypsy Eyes" take us back towards the blues. Then"Burning of the Midnight Lamp" slows it down and starts to let us know we are gonna get deep. "Rainy Day, Dream Away", "1983....(A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" , &"Moon, Turn the Tides....Gently Gently Away" are our seaside adventures that dive into the epic and surreal with music to suit. "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" brings us back out and gets us ready to close out the album with some (literal) burners. "House Burning Down" is a barn burner of an epic only to be topped by the next song, arguable on of the best covers of all time. Jimi stole "All Along the Watchtower" from Dylan, put his stamp on it and forever made it his own. The whole album has built up to this release, and boy does it deliver. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" shores the album up and rounds it off, reminding you that Jimi is a BAD MOTHERFUCKER and that you have just experienced one of the greatest albums of all time. 15/10 this is a testament to what amazing things can be achieved in a music studio. Remember...headphones, good headphones and let yourself be immersed in this thing of beauty.

Somehow despite always hearing about how good Jimi Hendrix is/was, I never got around to listening. Can't believe it took me this long to appreciate greatness. Top tracks: Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, Rainy Day, Dream Away/Still Raining, Still Dreaming, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

A classic and my favorite Hendrix album.

An absolute classic and definitely a work of art. There's not much to say about the god of guitar playing. It has it's lengths in the middle part but All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child as the great finale?! Doesn't get any better than that!

I love it. Jimi was a genius on the guitar at that time and a good songwriter too. And Mitch Mitchells drums are unbelievable. Can't got wrong with this album. Only, some songs are a bit too long. But all in all 5/5, a very pleasant "experience"

Groovy

Probably the most uneven Hendrix album but the fact that this was the 3rd album in less than 2 years is incomprehensible in our current time . The evolution of his music that happen in that short period of time is also something that can't be overlooked, highlighted in the Voodoo Child and Watchtower. The inclusion of the Noel Redding song and 1983 seriously detract from the greatness of the album and would make this a 4.5 album if I could rate it so but Hendrix will always get a round up.

Einfach gut

An all time classic. Long love the King 🤘🏼

This was rock and roll rolling back the years and the best part was that Hendrix was having fun is reflected in this.

Makes you appreciate Jimi on a whole new level. Superb

Faultless

While this album is full of strange, psychedelic flourishes, sometimes self indulgent, it's impossible not to be taken by Jimi's voice over the top of that outstanding Stratocaster sound. 15 minutes of Voodoo Chile blues jam, the opening of Gypsy Eyes, and countless other jams. I enjoyed the songs but the improv and fun with less structure, I really enjoyed. Closing the album out with All Along the Watchtower and thenVoodoo Child gives these songs a lot more context than hearing them as a singles.

It's easy to bandy the phrase 'Greatest' around but Jimi still is the best - his guitar, persona and energy eclipse anything before or after. This album is right up there with 'Are you Experienced?' and has the 'Slight return' version which is in my top 5 GOAT. This album is less constrained and more experiemental and fully realises Hendrix's genius and power. Perfection.

Amazing

Well, after listening to the absolute nightmare that is Kollaps yesterday, something like this is exactly what I needed. This album rocks. Jimi Hendrix is quite possibly the most highly praised guitarist of all time. Does he deserve it? Absolutely. While it could be argued that his guitaring isn't special by today's standards, the reason why that could be is that so many other guitarists have been inspired by Jimi Hendrix. For coming from the 1960s, this is an absolute marvel. This album as a whole has some faults to it. It definitely feels a bit unfocused and the album does go on for a bit too long. However, that's not to say that I felt tired at the end, mainly because the album ends with its two best songs. I'm sorry Bob Dylan, but "All Along the Watchtower" is, for all intents and purposes, Jimi's song (although, to be fair, Dylan's version is pretty good as well). And "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" is also an amazing track. The instrumental work is outstanding. Obviously, Jimi's guitar work is phenomenal, especially by 1968 standards, but the other sounds are also great. The singing and writing are both fairly solid. This is a really good album. 5/5.

The problem with best of albums is that they often fail to lead the listener to the original albums and that has been the case for me and this album. I'd previously felt that the tracks I knew were significantly better than the rest, but having given this a few listens I've realised that just isn't the case. Yes, there are very few albums whose best tracks are as good as these, but the rest are still pretty special too!

I can't stress how much I love Jimi Hendrix. Every single album up until his death was amazing.

I mean. It’s Jimi Hendrix. Smooth and sick guitar work every song. Great background work music

With a track-by-track re-listen, I realized how very versatile Hendrix's music actually is. I'd assumed it would be an endless groove of "Sky is Crying" guitar heavy angst, but there's actually a good amount of melody and thoughtful lyricism flowing through ear-bleeding guitar talent.

Perfect album. I used to play this obsessively back when I was about 15 so to listen to it again after so long felt great.

hell yeah

Some of his finest work hear. Listening to it again made me realize how much of an influens it had on my plaaying.

Another one that I already know and love. This record is impeccable. It is proggy or jam band-y while still being so structured and intentional. It doesn't ever feel like it's losing sight of where it's going or what is happening. Maybe that is what delineates psych? "Rainy Day, Dream Away" is a bit bizarre with the addition of saxophone but I am still into it. It's not overwhelming or the center of the action.

Absolute Fire. From start to finish.

Jimi Hendrix is of course one of the great musicians, but to my shame I have never really listened to much of his music. He’s a bit before my time and this genre is not something I usually gravitate towards. However I am very glad I put this album on because this is a classic and deservedly so. Its innovative, ambitious and genre defying. The musical skill involved is clear and Jimi’s voice is quite something. An amazing listening experience. I immediately went and ordered the vinyl for my collection, so that says it all really!

I love listening to this! My favorite of his though is the ‘Are You Experienced’ album.

I had only really heard the big songs from this album but the whole thing is great. Lots of fun. Engaging musically.

It is Hendrix after all. Couple weird ones in there

Jimi Hendrix is always fine.

I could listen to a 18hr long Hendrix solo and still want more. Dudes rock.

Hendrix at his best. What else is there to say?

Genial!

Could have been a bit shorter but still its an all time classic.

fantasico

Great! How do I not have this in my collection???

A favorite of mine. An automatic 5 star. If you like blues, psychedelic rock, 60's pop, or songs about deciding to live underwater despite the protesting naysayers... this is the record for you. My favorite songs are 1983 (a merman I should turn to be) & Burning of the Midnight Lamp.

I received this album as a reward for returning a wallet as a child. I had no idea who Jimi was, and this album blew my mind. From the moment ...And the Gods Made Love started playing, the insane sounds coming from my speakers were a totally new experience. Now as an adult I appreciate even more the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating this album. Every song innovates in ways to create new sounds from a guitar, but they are always in service to the song.

can’t lie. Smexi

Fantastic

Fantastic blend of blues and psychedelic rock. Jimi’s guitar work is amazing, of course, but the band is spectacular.

Oh man I love this album. I've been listening to it for decades. Every listen makes me wonder what Jimi would have done had he survived. What other boundaries would he have pushed? How would it have impacted future music?

It’s Jimi Hendrix, you can’t put anything but a 10/10.

Man Hendrix is just amazing to listen to. Every single song has an interesting/different rift and rhythm to it. All Along The Watchtower is so good that Bob Dylan himself said that the song belongs to Hendrix now. God I love this shit man. 9/10

It’s good. 10/10

Obviously a master class on the guitar side, but the drumming and production magic really captivated me this time, too.

fave track: little miss strange final thoughts: groovy baby !

I know this album like the back on my hand. One of my favorites. 1983 is a sci-fi masterpiece

Me encantó

So happy to listen to this one. I had no idea how great it was.

Great

Never knew anything about Jimi Hendrix before today. I guess I just never paid any attention to his music when it was on the radio. WOW! What a musician! I actually enjoyed this album immensely, even though it is a genre I would not pick on my own. Definitely 5 stars

What more needs to be said about Hendrix? Probably the greatest guitar player and innovator of all time. Nothing was the same after Hendrix and while I think I like Are You Experienced better as an album, Voodoo Chile has always been my favorite Hendrix song. Listen to both albums back to back you have some of the greatest guitar music ever created merging into one long record.

holy fuck

A classic. I remember discovering this in that formative, though still naive, period that lasted from Senior year of HS to Freshman year of college alongside albums like What's Going On, Sergeant Pepper, American Water, and The Soft Bulletin.

Amazing!

I want the last thing I hear to be jimi ad libbing alongside a sax

This album is absolutely incredible. The performances are soulful, vivid, and you can feel the passion that was put into the music. Hendrix's guitar is also as brilliant as ever. This album was so ahead of its time, it was amazing that this existed in the 1960s.

Just an essential album for any guitarist. Was great to give this a couple of proper airings. I knew all about Voodoo Child (Slight Return) and All Along The Watchtower but Little Miss Strange and 1983 are also brilliant.

Jimi Hendrix was a shooting star in the history of Rock & Roll. A master at his craft, he left us, tragically, all too soon. Electric Ladyland is a compilation that shows off his talents in many different forms, but at the heart of all, it's blues played as well as you'll ever here it.

Absolutely stellar classic.

Love the variety of styles on this album. There is no one genre that it fits into. Jimi has long been a favorite of mine.

Amazing, incredible. You can feel the pursuit and pain of perfection in this album.

So good!!!!!

I remember finding my dad's UK original release LP of this, and the delights of its cover art (I was probably only a teen at the time). It was a few years later as a young adult that I actually got into the music. Hendrix is rightly an instrument-defining musician, his guitarmanship on God-like levels. Part blues-rock, part psychedelic trip, part stoner's chillout, all fantastic

crosstown traffic

Very good album. Loved listening to it, and there are some standout tracks on it, like 1983, All Along The Watchtower and Voodoo Child

Song I liked: "Voodoo Child" "All Along the Watch Tower" The whole album is good for just listening vibes while working...amazing guitar!

What can one add to the superlatives pertaining to this album? An outstanding work of art.

Jimi has a special place in my heart, and this album was so fire!! So many great hits on this record, and Still raining, Still dreaming was a surprising new favorite for me. He knew how to make a guitar talk!! Incredible

wtf was up with that SEXY-ASS guitar in Voodoo Chile?? made me feral fr Rainy Day, Dream Away??? hello wtf 5* easy

Jimi's magnum opus. It's all here: Impressions-style R&B, traditional blues, experimental psychedelica. One of the all-time great double albums, as ambitious as it is listenable. The only real mis-step is Noel Redding's corny-ass Little Miss Strange; homeboy really thought he was on Jimi's level and Jimi gives him just enough rope to hang himself, then spends the rest of the record completely smoking his ass.

this is an album i like more and more every time i listen to it. still my least favorite jimi, but like it's five stars

A true milestone

Damn, what a great album. It just all blended so well. Love Hendrix.

Absurdo de som foda! Hendrix é surreal.

this is hendrix best album in my opinion. big album? yeah. long ass weird jams? true. but it manages to keep you going allllll the way through somehow. its hard to set it but id say this is the one that shows the guitar work the most out of his three studio lps. it has more than any of the others the use of guitar as a sound effects machine almost. so yeah, this is his best work, and thats saying a lot considering what this incredible and beautiful man has done to music. rip hendrix.

Such a great combination of electric guitar and the blues. The original version of Voodoo Chile is probably the best I've heard....although this album also included the "Slight Return" version. I listened to this twice it was so good. A musical genius who's star was extinguished too soon. My favorite album we have rated so far.

Si hay algo que ocasiona Jimi Hendrix en quien lo escucha es hipnotismo. Un trance por su forma de tocar y por los sonidos que lograba sacarle a la guitarra, por su sensualidad al cantar, por su figura en escena. Siempre pienso en que me encantaría que apareciera alguien así en la escena actual. La veo difícil porque es un estereotipo de una época pero no pierdo las esperanzas en que un artista así surja y se adapte al presente. Muy bien 10.

There isn't anything I can say that hasn't already been said about Mr Hendrix. As a man who can't play guitar, it's amazing that he is so far above his peers that even an idiot can see he is the GOAT. Plus some absolute bangers on this album.

acidman

Usually a long album gets tedious, but I have to admit that this was epic. This was one of the experiences I was looking for in this project. And I don't know what "Electric Ladyland" is exactly, but it's got to be one of my favorite titles ever.

Wow, this one really rolled all the way off the rails from time to time, didn’t it?!? Even so, I loved it! I didn’t realize how much I needed this.

Two days in a row (so far) of double albums. I'll say that I'd rather listen to 4 sides of Jimi than 4 sides of Hüsker Du any day. Hendrix has a singular sound that evokes his era like no other.

I haven’t ever listened to a Jimi Hendrix album, but have heard enough of this legend to know what to expect. A lot of the songs on this album (Crosstown Traffic, All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child) were expectedly epic works. There were a few surprises (like Little Miss Strange). The one critique might be that this album feels like it sprawls a lot, which isn’t an uncommon impression I get from a lot of double albums. Still, the guitar work is so consistently off the hook how can I not give this a 5?

Phenomenal.

Even though some songs are a bit too long jams, this album as a whole is great

My face melted

Gran álbum la mejor canción por mucho es el cover de "all alone the watchtover"

Wooow Jimi!! Na Axis: Bold of Love eerder in de lijst, kende ik deze al wel, maar nog eens helemaal doorluisteren blaast me weer weg. topplaat

Hendrix was amazing. This album rocks! It gets a little weird, but what do you expect? It's Hendrix, and it was the '60s. There were all kind of influential substances. That being said, Hendrix was one of the most amazing and ground breaking guitarists of his time, and it clearly shows on this album.

If I ever get a fish I'm gonna name it Swimmy Hendrix.

A bit of bloat drags it down to a low 5 for me.

Crosstown Traffic Voodoo Chile Still Raining, Still Dreaming All Along the Watchtower Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Moet ik überhaupt uitleg geven waarom dit een 5 is?

Een van de beste albums ooit gemaakt, met “all along the watchtower” als kers op de taart. How it would sound if the gods made love

The best song of all time (imo) is on this. Incredible guitar album.

This album gets better and better as time goes on. Visionary shit.

Classic Jimi. Nice double album. Acymtually hadnt heard a few of these tunes.

Already listened to this many times. Have it on vinyl and used to have the deluxe edition CD. A stone cold classic. You can really melt away in the longer songs.

GOAT

My first thought is that this has just a bit too much filler to be 5 stars. However I had Duran Duran yesterday and gave that 4, and I can't have Jimi at the same level, so 5 it is. Recency bias thanks to the last 2 songs being all time classics might be a factor but fuck it, this rocks

Very delicious

This was awesome! Very trippy feel to it and a few of the songs had me thinking I was in a dream.

Jesus, what a guitarist. A genius.

5. This is a straight masterpiece and I'm not even halfway through yet

wondered why I never discovered it before

!Banger Alert! 1983…a merman I always… gets me what a song!

Face melters

Next 5 songs played by my Spotify Algorithm: David Bowie - Moonage Daydream Wings - Reception The Police - Driven to Tears Buffalo Springfield - For What it's Worth The Who - Baba O' Reilly

Den der guitar er en ekstra kropsdel jeg sværger. Perfekt psych plade, elsker det hazy ekko der ligger over det hele

listen to it more than i can count, blessed

What a masterpiece. Classics aside (All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child, etc), there are some great songs on this album. What a unique performaer, with an instantly recognisable style and sound.

Hendrix absolutely on fire! Voodoo Chile, 1983, All Along, Voodoo Child (Slight Return), so many good songs on here. This is one of the most important albums, definitely top tier before you die stuff.

Some of the best music ever written.

Jimi puts on an absolute clinic here, there’s nobody in the history of guitar who can do did what Jimi displayed on Electric Ladyland. This album stands above the other two Hendrix releases bc of the full band at play, Voodoo Chile itself earns this 5 stars

It’s a straight “fuck it, let’s get at it”, but in the calmest way possible.

An amazing album that really showcases Jimi Hendrix's skill as a singer, and guitarist. A rocky, bluesy compilation of songs, I thoroughly enjoyed it and is one of the reasons why Jimi hendrix is considered one of the goats by so many.

What an album! Jimi is a very underrated vocalist, the drumming on the album is also exceptional

Hell yeah love this

Psychedelic. Can’t listen to it all the time though. Another mood album. When I’m just trying to chill and play video games

Ace

*****

Love the track sequence from Rainy Day, Dream Away through Still Raining, Still Dreaming. Groovy, trippy jams for a rainy day. Also, goosebumps on Voodoo Chile, during its 14 minute entirety.

Love this album and Jimi Hendrix. Great stuff!

breakthrough stuff and still fantastic

Stupid good

Hendrix build a legend with his talent and soul. This album is a testament to his legacy.

No misses. Only fire. All along the watchtower is quite possibly the greatest cover of all time. I'm feeling a solid 10

A fantastic album. I must admit to already owning this album so it was not a new listening experience. There are no weak tracks, time seems to stand still when this album plays, it flows from track to track so smoothly.

Absolutely brilliant. A landmark album.

Great

Oh man, another classic! I realized that I have never one need to this album through. So many good songs... Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, All Along the Watchtower. Happily will listen to this again. 5/5.

Lots of excellent electric guitar riffs

Awesome

really good, classic bluesy rock kinda vibe, all along the watchtower is a classic and great

Great album with a few classics interspersed among things people may not have heard before. Really takes some of the rock and blues sounds of the 50s and 60s and starts to give it that flow and grove that influenced a lot of more modern rock and metal sounds.

A must listen, great music

this is the greatest double album ever made my word is final

One of my all time favorites.

Always like Jimi more than I remember

It goes without saying at this point, but the guitar work on this album is revolutionary -- so much so that many bands today still look to this album for inspiration 55 years later. Fav. Tracks: Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland), Voodoo Chile, Come On (Let the Good Times Roll), Burning of the Midnight Lamp, 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn to Be), All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Least Fav Track: Little Miss Strange 10/10

10/10

There are albums that make you feel as if you are watching them perform for you in real time and this is one of those experiences that brings the energy of the music alive while you're listening.

assuming it gave me this one again due to adding group -- will listen again, great album :)

incredible album - first random assigned during 1001 albums

Unbeatable. Can’t even begin to compare him to anyone.

5/5. A classic for me and I definitely understand not for everyone, doesn't have his hits like on Are You Experience? (save for the last two songs). However, this is definitely his most fine tuned album, and the potential was insane if he was still around. There was still some experimenting going on but feels intentional instead of just silly. An experience for sure, recommend to any guitar lovers.

A psychedelic rock masterwork by one of the brightest flames that ever burned.

Jimi may be gone, but this album will live on 4 life!!!

This may be the greatest album ever made. Don't agree? Name a better one...you're wrong, this one is better. Now play "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" again and turn it all the way up.

This album was incredible. There were tastes of hard rock. Tastes of psychedelic meandering. Tastes of experimental soundscapes. And it all blends together so well. I cant wait to relisten, with a better sound set up. This album has been added to my list of must buy vinyl.

This still sounds fresh for the most part, especially the hits and more recognizable songs. I like this one. I think I am slightly too willing to drop 5 stars, but this is pretty innovative in the context of rock music and guitar playing...so I think the 5 stars is deserved here. I'll go 90/100.

Could do with trimming about 15 mins of noodling off, but still a hippie classic which ends with one of the best 1-2 punches in music history.

This is the apex of blues rock. It simply doesn’t get better than that. Yeah it’s long but my god the vibes it gives off. The guitar tone on Voodoo Chile, the organs, the drums, the bass. It builds beautiful musical landscapes with melodies (yay 1983) and then just goes crazy with the improvisation showcasing a total mastery of all instruments. Such a waste!

All time classic, so many bangers - Crosstown Traffic, Voodoo Chile, Come On (Let the Good Times Roll), and two of Hendrix's best, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child (Slight Return). Crazy guitars and drums throughout, and his voice sounds better than ever. A bit long and not as solid as his other two albums but it's still fantastic all the way through.

"Look man, you can listen to Jimi, but you can't hear him" -Sidney Deane

Far longer than I remembered but still great!

Hendrix at the height of his powers and free. Brilliant.

An absolute powerhouse album. Legendary performances, songwriting and energy. Hendrix shines with the sharper, more focused production and the album, even with its considerable length, never stops grabbing the listeners attention. Essential.

Jimi Hendrix is truly the God of the guitar. Whilst Electric Ladyland is a Double album (generally my most despised type of record), it was truly a breath of fresh air. The way Hendrix really feels his guitar and music throughout this album, is totally on another level. Best: Come On (Let The Good Times Roll) Worst: 1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)

One of my favorites albums of all time, just amazing intricate guitar playing and the impact on guitar is unexplainable, Jimi makes the guitar talk like not just in a metaphorical sense but literal as well

Its such a great album from one of the most if not the most iconic artist

5/5

Awesome

It's Jimi Hendrix.

Easy five stars. Something here for everybody, from psychedelic to British Invasion.

Album 89 of 1001 Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland Rating : 5 / 5 Favorite Track : Crosstown Traffic There are many worse things to do that putting the earbuds in and listening to some Jimi Hendrix early in the morning. This is a kick ass album. While I'm not in the "Hendrix is the greatest guitar player ever" Club, I do recognize his extraordinary talent and the influence he had on others and music, in general.

A total Classic. One of the first cds I bought.

I love that this album and this artist are showing up here just one day after I finished an episode on Jimi Hendrix's version of "Hey Joe" in the fabulous podcast, A History Of Rock Music In 500 Songs. I urge you to give that podcast series a listen -- and, no, I do not know the creator of it in any fashion; no skin in the game for me, I'm just a fan -- and if you have the patience to start at Episode 1 and listen in order from there, I promise you will be rewarded. And, of course, Episode 147, on "Hey Joe", is superb. https://500songs.com/podcast/episode-147-hey-joe-by-the-jimi-hendrix-experience/ Now, back to this album. When I was in my early teens, I listened to a lot of Jimi Hendrix's music, and owned a handful of LPs by him, including this one. I was drawn to, and still remain in awe of, his incredible artistic talent. I don't listen to his music as much as I used to, but it never loses its luster for me. And when I listen to countless guitarists that recorded and performed in all the years that followed his work, I hear his influence everywhere. It feels like calling this a "rock album" or a "blues rock album" misses way too much. Yes, it's rock, but there is a whole lot more happening here. Greatness.

Hendrix, lekker

Its good vibe

Bow down to one of the most unassailable talents our world has ever seen.

Voodoo child a great jam.

Great album

It’s Jimi.

Have you ever been? lady land- weird tune. I love this cool soulful and psychedelic sound I love the bluesier stuff- Voodoo Chile and Voodo child slight return are so great I like all the weird psychedelic jammy stuff like 1983 and gods made love etc LittleMiss strange- I could do without the Noel Redding song l. Doesn’t really seem to fit with the rest of the album. I’ve always loved burning of the midnight lamp. Such a great song and cool intro. Cool to hear jimi have some Interplay with the organ and sax on “rainy day”and “still dreaming “ Didn’t realize this album had Jack Cassidy on bass, and Hendrix playing a lot of the bass himself . Also has buddy miles on 2 tracks and Steve winwood on organ.

I hope we get band of gypsies bc that is Hendrix at his finest IMO. Everything Hendrix is a 10 for me, his music has influenced me probably more than anything else. It’s the first music I have a conscious memory of hearing and I’ve listened to it so many times over the course of my life. Crosstown traffic was always one of my favs growing up.

classic. what is there to say that hasn’t already been said.

This is so iconic, so classic, it's hard to review it. I can only imagine how innovative it sounded when it first came out - listening to it now, it's still innovative, different, interesting, challenging, even as it's also very familiar. I love the way Hendrix pushed boundaries with his sound, and there is something very avant-garde jazzy about this album. A masterpiece. 5/5

It's difficult to beat Jimi Hendrix. The greatest to ever touch a guitar.

Wicked guitar. Legendary.

A lot of double albums have too much filler. Not this lp. Hendrix delivered a masterpiece. Sadly, you are left wondering what more he could have done, given time. He showed glimpses of the future that was left unfulfilled. This is album that requires several listenings to truly appreciate its depth

Fajne

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.

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.

"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.

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

Perfect Psychedelic Blues Rock

Phenomenal.

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

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).

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

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.

Brilliant album

Just very good

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.

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 🔥🔥

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

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.

Who doesn't love this album?

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

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

o grande mestre

Guitar går brdrdrbdbrbrbb, yeehaw baby
