Electric Ladyland

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

Amazing album.

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.

One of the greatest albums of all time!

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

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.

classic. duh

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

Jimi is the man!

There is a reason he’s still worshipped today.

Sure gut!!! 5 von 5

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.

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.

LP

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

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

Brilliant as always/.

Like honey butter

Amazing Album. Nothing But Hits.

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

prrrr prrr pwwgnnnnhhh

Jimi at his absolute best.

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.

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.

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.

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

Flawless

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

Love this album Jimi at his best

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

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.

Fantastic album voodoo chile

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

Great listen.

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.

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

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.

Absolute classic

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

classic album.

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.

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.

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.

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)

G.O.A.T.

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.

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

Good. Bluesy. Strong work.

What a fucking banger

Endless delight

Easily the best Experience album

Probably in my top three albums of all time fairly constantly

4.5

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

On first listen, I was going to put this down as a disappointing 4 stars but It finishes so strongly though that I listened again the next day with different expectations. Maybe I was wanting a solid hour of Cross Town Traffic or Watchtower but that’s not what Jimi wanted and who am I to argue? So yes, a little bloated and rambling at times to my ears but for every 5 mins of blistering genius of Voodoo Child maybe you need a 15min jam of Voodoo Chile?

A bit noodly for my liking but few artists can make me enjoy the entire length of a double album. Guitar work is transcendent. 9/10

Maybe the best guitar tone ever?

With increasingly sprawling and sparkling efficiency and effectively (and a mega dose of inventiveness), the last album from The Jimi Hendrix Experience went all out to capture the moods and turbulence of the year 1968. Fire red moon and skies, burned down houses, temperature shifting seasons, strange women, the epochal cover of an essential Dylan classic and alliances with voodoo all coagulate to form what is, perhaps, the quintessential album from the groundbreaking British/American trio. Don't let the extended jams placed at the start and middle of the album scare you, they are just as part of the, uh... experience as well. In fact, they enhance it and are the best parts of the album. One listen, five listens, a thousand listens and you'll come to understand why it's a classic of not only it's era but for future generations.

oh shit wayyy too good to rate, holy fuck the whole discography is absolutely incredible

Fantastic. I really enjoy both 10 min+ tracks.

Genius.

Hendrix is always great to me.

Classic, voodoo chile is worthy of its own side

Great riffs, melody, lyrics makes this an all-trend delicacy

Great overall vibe and exploration – great balance of variety and consistency, and commitment to creating a certain vibe and mood. He sounds credible alternately as an old-school bluesman (way more than Stones or Zeppelin) and an uber-confident hipster/chancer/con man. The soloing – just wow! Near overwhelming at times, and there seems to be a reason some songs fade out on solos; even on a double album, the cuts must eventually end. “Burning the Midnight Lamp” – raw guitars + harpsichord + loose, swaggering vocal = hard psychedelia. “Rainy Day, Dream Away” is also cool and surprising, as is “Still Raining, Still Dreaming” and “House Burning Down.” “Watchtower” sounds a bit like it belongs on a different record, but is a classic nonetheless.

Goated, favorite jimi album

Great!

The peak of Hendrix's career! And unfortunately the studio album he ever released :( This album is a masterpiece. I think it's too long, but it doesn't take away it's shine. Favorite tracks: * Voodoo Child (Slight Return) * All Along The Watchtower * Crosstown Traffic

Awesome, one of my favourite artists, and one of his best albums. Best songs are Crosstown traffic, voodoo Chile (both versions), and, best of all, all along the watchtower

An impressive and cohesive display of raw bluesy guitar talent. Starts off with a groovy funky intro before jumping straight into a performance that acts as a smack in the face. It follows into the 15-minute straight-up blues where we have plenty of time to pay attention to these strange techniques he pulls off, themes that he revisits in later tracks. Not to mention he will follow this track up in the closer as a rampant finish in one of his most famous songs. If you were feeling mixed about the album at the beginning, hopefully the ending of "Voodoo Chile" draws you in and excites you for what's to come... it feels like the real intro to the rest of the album. We start off some pure psychedelic rock tracks that would shock people if you told them this was Jimi Hendrix. Really groovy, but the guitar feats are there. You can't tell me those last 30 seconds of "Little Miss Strange" are like anything you normally hear. "Long Hot Summer Night" follows this trend before the speed ramps up in the very bluesy Earl King cover "Come On." Has a strong rock n roll feel, but the solos are insane, almost like Hendrix is making it his own. "Gypsy Eyes" starts off strong, one of the more complex songs out there, changing in tempo and style every 10 seconds, getting weird by the half-way point with the distortion carrying to the end of the song, before an anticlimatic finish. "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" returns to the psychedelic themes, a really trippy but beautifully melodic experience, incorporating gospel-like back vocals, wah-wahs, and a harpsichord. "Rainy Day Dream Away" is another groovy piece, feeling a little jazzy at times. Closing off the psychedelic experience of this meaty third of the album, we have the epic "1983," going on for 14 minutes. I would kill to see this live. Reminds me of Cream and the Doors near the end. So dreamy. Our final stretch of the album revisits many of the themes we've seen, except much harder and faster. "Still Raining Still Dreaming" starts us off with just like its sister jazzy track from earlier except just out of control... faster, crazier, and unpredictable. Insane closing. "House Burning Down" has more unconventional guitar work that screams at you with these deep sounds that abruptly come in and out. Finally, we have our last two classics. "All Along the Watchtower" is one of the best songs of the era... it's hard for people not to appreciate Dylan's fairytale songwriting or Hendrix's insane guitar-play, especially in that iconic solo. There are very few weaknesses in this album. Despite being a double album, I don't consider there to be any weak tracks, and the diversity and placements of interludes and long tracks help people digest the material. That being said, it is a very guitar-heavy album and can be hard for a lot of people to appreciate it all until they can listen and pick out each of the tracks, which is fortunately not too hard to do with all the diversity in style and approach. The track order is a huge strength. I think it was really smart to begin with a funky piece to ease in listeners and then get really hard with the guitar to entice them. I thought it was weird it have two psychedelic pieces, followed by two rough bluesy pieces, then back to the psychedelic, but I guess it's a necessary change. I also thought it was smart to end with a bang with those last four songs grouped together. There are a few cuts I would make. "Come On," "Long Hot Summer Night," and "House Burning Down" come to mind, but they aren't bad tracks by any means, just that I don't think they enhance the experience too much. Overall this is where Hendrix is at his peak in skill and composition, and should serve as evidence of why Hendrix is one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Really good Rock album. Jimi Henrix is amazing

Rock de Hendrix. Vinilo.

Classic rock is classic. And face-numbing.

Extra long album, but no fat to be found.

Фантастика!

Vraiment trop bon, psychedelique, mais tres musicale, j’adore hendrix 5

Ruim de escutar trabalhando.

This link takes you to a cover band. That's not Jimi. That said, Electric Ladyland is a classic and shows the creativity of Hendrix. Great album!

Jimi Hendrix is just amazing. The guitar work speaks for itself and seems to speak of a different world. I also think that the quality of his voice is extremely special-gravely, yet smooth at the same time. I've never listened to this entire album and found a few songs stand out.

This is why I like this project. I am sometimes reminded about a great album that I haven’t listened to in years.

It might start to drag on a bit long but overall a masterpiece, tons of great tracks showcasing Hendrix's range from bluesy to psych.

Wow

Brilliant! An album that takes you on a bluesy, psychedelic journey of riffs and distortion. Some Classic choons and some of Hendrix’s biggest and best known. Sadly didn’t have to time listen to all of it so a second run is welcome

A quintessential classic-rock triumph, acting as Hendrix' last dying effort, and his best record at that. Coming in an at an hour 15 minutes, the double album ( a less experimented, let alone well done concept at the time of its release ), consisting of 16 tracks ( all varying in length still without ever bringing the pacing down to a halt ) proves to be Hendrix and his ever-so under appreciated bands most out-there and indulgent record, even after the psychedelic-rock fusion that was 1967s 'Axis as Bold As Love". With the more muddy, and low fidelity mix, regardless to wether or not it was intended, the album fulfills its name giving off an "electric" feeling. Paired with Hendrix' unparalleled guitar-work, and the improvisational chemistry of Mitch Mitchell ( the bands lead drummer ), everything works towards the laid back, groove session vibe this album works for. With longer live performances such as "Voodoo Chile", and "1983 ( A Merman I should turn to be )", and standouts such as "Voodoo child ( Slight Return )" ( My god what a riff ), The Jimi Hendrix Experiences 1968 Full Length Lp "Electric Ladyland" acts as an underdog to the bands more classic rock n roll, Chuck Berry-esque predeceasing work ( Most prominently their breakout debut album "Are You Experienced", albeit great in its own right )

It is wild how much better this sounds in headphones. Changed the whole dynamic.

Fantastic.

finnaly something from Jimi Henndrix, he was Freddie`s Mercury idol (thats literally all i know about him for know0, so i hope it will be good. ,,...and the God made love" emmm like it wasn`t even a song so, just noises, nothing to say ,,have you ever been (the eletric ladyland)" omg the voice at the start, so smooth and calming i love it, amazing. definitly too short ,,crosstown traffic" im already in love with his voice. the ,,chainges" in the melody were a little too much i can say (for me) ,,vodoo chile" that deep guitar at the beginning. just the vibe. immaulate. and the voice. so good. wait, ITS 15MIN LONG!? damn. but`s so good. omg its only getting better. i love it. it,s going to my liked songs on spotify. and the instrument? im literally impressed ,,little miss strange" instrumental line is so good, and the backing vocals. i liked previous more tho ,,long hot summer nights" i love that smooth vibe (kinda blues?) chill ,,come on (let the good times roll)" again good, i am a bof fan of his smooth voice, half of the song is a guitar solos ,,gypsy eyes" starts not as smooth but still good, has a vibe ,,burning of the midnight night'' not as smooth, noice vocal thats kinda drowned out by the melody line, not my favourite track tho still good ,,rainy day, dream away" good start with a vibe. the intruments tho, when the voice sings its turns smooth ,,1983 (a merman i should turn to be)" omg starts so good, calm and smooth, the longest songs seems to be the best as far. you can hear there a really good vocal yet still chill to it, im really impresed again, it changes throught the song it happens a lot there ,,moon, turn the tides... gently, gently away'' not as smooth ,,still raining, still dreaming" i like the start, nice guitar, later its a little to much for me ,,house burning down" cool vibe, energetic but not to much. i like it ,,all along the watchtower" so nice voice, really good vibe. i totally get it why its his the most listened song ,,vodoo child (slight return)" start is like fire under control, (kinda steady but still fire) guitar solo. amazing. im literally amazed with this album, his voice and some songs is so smooth i like that blues vibe so much. that kind of music i would like to hear in fancy bars/clubs. i liked every single song from here. the music line is also so good. i wasn`t even expecting this much, from the very firts nutes i knew this is IMMACULATE. i think i liked the most the ,,voodoo chile", ,,all along the watchtower" but iits kinda hurt to choose. i know i go back to this album not once not twice and i`ll DEFINITELY listen more from Jimi Hendrix. I gotta say Freddie has a taste (not that i would ever doubt it). SO GOOD. 9/10 FIVE STARTS (still hasn`t find here the FIIREE song that would HIT)

I could listen to this all day.

This is a classic. Great songs on the album. I feel like I don't quite like it as much as some of his other ones bit this is still a rock great.

Mind healed, palette cleansed and chakras aligned - I'm ready for more PJ Harvey. Hendrix is amazing and this album captures lightning in a bottle.

One of my favorite rock albums. Jimi Hendrix is a legend on the guitar and this album proves it. Probably my second favorite album by him as there are a few songs that are ok but most of it is awesome. 8.6/10

It’s Jimi, what else do I have to say?

Guitar God

A truly excellent and interesting rock album. I was only familiar with ‘All Along The Watchtower’ but I enjoyed the whole album, especially ‘Crosstown Traffic’ s as well. I might have to do a Hendrix deep dive!

Джими хорош.

Classic I've listened to many times before, many great songs!

Absolutely incredible. 9-10/10 1. Crosstown Traffic 2. Voodoo Chile 3. All Along the Watchtower

This album comes from a time in place that may never be replicated again. Mitch Mitchell's eccentric drumming brings an unique energy to each track that meshes with Noel Redding's bass and Jimmy's guitar in an ephemeral way that is hard to describe other than pure Rock n' Roll.

This was an entire musical journey but I loved every minute. 5/5 stars. I will definitely be revisiting this album again and again.

After a godawful minute of noodle, once the album kicks in properly, it's great, a mix of the mellow, gentle soulful stuff that Hendrix doesn't get enough credit for, and big rock noise. Crosstown Traffic will never not be a joy. It's at its weakest when it goes too bluesy. Becomes a bit predictable and dryer - for example, Voodoo Child feels bloated after the first couple of punchy, brief songs. 15 minutes, with limited variation. 1983 is the same (except more psychedelic I suppose?) Burning of the Midnight Lamp is ace. Again, chilled, more contemplative Hendrix is brill. A qualifying moment here. Hendrix is clearly a one off, a definite genius, but it's been said a million times before, hasn't it. You don't need another white middle aged music critic to run over that shite again. This album contains at least 5 stone cold classics, some great album tracks, and is only let down by two overlong jam sessions. Given the sheer quality and talent on here otherwise, I'm tempted to be forgiving, and give it five stars regardless. I'll see how I feel in the morning. In the morning - it's 5. Don't know if the punchier songs would work as well without two excessive tracks giving them even more life. I think it's deliberate.

One of my favs.

Великолепный!

Just a few days ago we got the preceding Jimi Hendrix album. I gave that one 4 stars. The reasons it didn't get 5 stars was that the tracks didn't feel completely fleshed out to me and there were no standout tracks for me. This one on the other hand has a couple fantastic tracks, especially Voodoo Chile, Voodoo Child and the masterful Bowie cover All Along The Watchtower. Great album, was a pleasure to listen to.

-cool stereo mixing throughout -I love the drumming in "Gypsy Eyes." A lot of it is so simple, but so effective -Great drumming in "Voodoo Chile," l especially at the end -Great bass, drums, and guitar in "Come On (Let the good Times Roll)" -"All Along the Watchtower" and "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" are absolute classics

Jimi’s final album released during his lifetime is a sprawling work that incorporates some of his more grandiose tendencies into a more cohesive album. Jimi’s guitar work is groundbreaking as always and still sounds fresh today. He was and is a huge impact on players including myself

Classic. Loved it for years. The 1983 mermaid song has always struck me as underrated.

Obviously a classic

Jimi's cool, and this is a classic. Listening to the whole thing, I get a little exhausted, but All Along the Watchtower is a legendary piece to end on, I have tons of respect for how this album helped move psych rock and eventually metal forward. probably a 4 musically for me, but giving full 5 for the influence!

Bad ass, bluesy, electric and legendary.

Peerless.

an inspiring masterpiece by a legendary virtuoso. you really should listen to it at least once in a lifetime.

What a fantastic album. One of the best rock albums of all time and one of Hendrix's most impressive works. Too many exceptional tracks to even list. This is Hendrix at his prime.

Perfection! True rock

Blinding Jimmy

Jimmy fekkin' Hendrix! Jimmy is... well his music is just an experience :D Funky, groovy, sometimes rocky and always soul. Absolutely love it.

Hendrix’s magnum opus. You like stereo, right? This album plays like a hippie fever dream in the best way. A couple sprawling epics at either end of the album and a lot of hard rocking on all sides. And, of course, Watchtower, Hendrix’s ultimate Dylan tribute.

This is one of the best albums we have ever heard. Impossibly cool.

Groovy.

I've listened to this album dozens of times. It's pretty amazing, especially "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" shifting into "Moon Turn Tides". It is an epic double album.

Epic.

Absolute masterpiece of rock and roll. Jimi is the one-and-only, an irreplaceable axe genius. "All Along the Watchtower" is my favorite track.

*incredible guitar obviously *a lot of different songs, didn't necessarily feel like one common theme *a lot of bops I haven't heard before & some classics

Amazing album! I had read that Hendrix was a perfectionist in the studio and you here it in this album. He apparently produced a lot of the album himself. The guitar work is amazing. Based in blues and heavy rock it also incorporates so many other elements of funk, soul, psych-rock. The skilled musicianship throughout the album is next level. Arguably this could be considered the best all out rock album of all time and an album that saw Hendrix begin to take over in the studio and forge new directions. Favorites: All Along the Watchtower, Gypsy Eyes, Crosstown Traffic.

Mitch Mitchell was one of my favourite drummers growing up, and this album is one of the reasons why. The Band of Gypsies is so experimental here, and while Jimi Hendrix is often viewed as the father of prog rock, it's the melding of genres here that make this album such a treat to listen to. Hendrix is undeniably a great rock guitar player, but what's often overlooked is his pop songwriting craft. Fav Tracks: Burning of the Midnight Lamp, Voodoo Chile, All Along the Watchtower Rating: 4.5/5

Sprawling, eclectic, and teeming with ideas, Hendrix's last studio album bottles lightning in an instrument-defining moment. You can hear the different directions pulling at the edges of his interest: deep blues dirges ("Voodoo Chile"), sci-fi odysseys ("A Merman I Should Turn to Be"), hard rock ("Crosstown Traffic"), psychadelica ("Burning of the Midnight Lamp"), R & B ("Rainy Day, Dream Away"), and his transcendent and transformative cover of "All Along the Watchtower." Of course, Band of Gypsies would further showcase what might have come next, but there's something so raw and wonderful about this album. In that sense, it reminds me a little of The Beatles' 1968 record. Something in the air, maybe. Anyway, listening to this record really makes you reckon with just how innovative and genre-defining his guitar work has been over the years. Favourite tracks: "All Along the Watchtower", "Gypsy Eyes", "House Burning Down"

Virtuos und unnachahmlich

Toda la potencia de Hendrix en cada tema del disco. La mejor guitarra de los 60. Deslumbrante y sobrecogedor.

Probably the least immediate of all his studio albums, but the #1 most likely to find myself getting lost in w/headphones on

Beste CD in mijn bezit, welverdiende 5/5

Hatte ein Erweckungserlebnis. Diese Wucht! Dieses Jazzschlagzeug! Diese LSD-Alkohol-Kombi!

Rock top top, guitarra CHORANDO

Me encantó. Nunca me había tomado el tiempo de escuchar el disco entero. Realmente vale la pena.

Solo se puede decir es creatividad

I've been waiting for this day for months now. Jimi Hendrix will forever be one of my favorite artists, and my favorite guitarist to ever live. He's unbelievably talented and creative. How can one group span so many genres on one album? The first few tracks of this album, for example: a psychedelic ambient interlude, a R&B/soul track that would sound at home on a Curtis Mayfield album, an upbeat rock staple, and a long blues track that you might hear at a Crossroads festival. I've been a huge fan of Jimi since I was in high school, and in the ten years that have passed since and all the other music I've experienced, I still haven't heard anyone do it like he did. And I haven't even mentioned the final two tracks: two of his best ever. I tend to cite Are You Experienced as my favorite Hendrix album, but this is right up there. Favorite tracks: Voodoo Child (Slight Return), All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Chile, Come On, 1983, Crosstown Traffic. Album art: This red and yellow picture is one of several covers for the album, and perhaps the most iconic. There's also the notorious naked ladies cover, and a few others floating around. I have a bootleg copy of this on vinyl, and the cover is a solo portrait shot (and the naked ladies are in the gatefold). I'm not sure which of those three I like best. 5/5

Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the final studio album released in Hendrix's lifetime before his death in 1970. Although the album confounded critics in 1968, it has since been viewed as Hendrix's best work and one of the greatest rock records of all time.

one of the best psychedellic albums ever written

So sexy, some songs jam too long (IMO) but that’s the whole thing

absolute classic with unmatched guitar

Very good, jimi always good

Jimi just makes me happy.

Incredible. A masterpiece.

Legendary guitarist covering legendary songwriter on Watchtower. What could go wrong?

incredible, artistic, visionary

Clássicos voodoo child e all along the watchtower já estavam na minha playlist, mas o album todo é muito bom.

que viva el groove

A pretty intense album for first thing on a Monday, but I enjoyed it! A few tracks maybe a touch long for my taste, but you can’t deny the talent. Favourite track: All Along The Watchtower

I have decided that I really have to love the artist and know them well to enjoy a double album. They’re a bit indulgent. Of course the cover of “All Along the Watchtower” is amazing and so is “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”. Some of the longer jams are really good too, but if you aren’t familiar enough with the artist, it can be hit or miss. I definitely recognize its genius though

Muy buen álbum, muy intenso y con unos solos guitarrescos de absoluta locura. Me gustó mucho, solamente no conecté de pronto con las canciones larguísimas, pero de que es histórico, esto que ni que.

Your abusive stoner white-trash stepfather's "eye-opener"

Some good classic jimi rock!

Vabbè un suono di chitarra incredibile e pezzi assurdi

An album full of energy and electricity as the title states. I wish some songs had been longer as they feel like fragments of what they could have been but I truly enjoyed listening to this album.

Classic album but some tracks do feel long and start dragging. The last two tracks “All Along the Watchtower” and “Voodoo Child” are great rock songs. I respect Jimi Hendrix’s influence as a guitarist and with him being one of the best of all time, I was hoping to enjoy it a little more. Great album just feels a little disorganized.

Classic guitar brilliance

So fabulous psychedelic 60s rock continues to be my bag baby

It's fun how randomness sometimes works out, as I just got two Jimi's albums back to back. And this one is great, too. Lots amazing songs. Some of my all time favourites, even.

4/5

I don't like all bluesy-style rock n rock music, but Jimi Hendrix just hits differently. I can only describe it as blues that's not too overpowering and very much not repetitive. I've already had "Are You Experienced", and while I liked it a lot, I like this album a lot better. The sound is more clean and well-defined, but those amazing guitar sounds, dark undertones, and song structures are still there. All in all, the music is unique and sounds ahead of its time.

I like it a lot, I don’t love it.

While not my top Jimi Hendrix album, it is still fantastic and a must listen. Great guitar work.

Day 386 Definitely not an album where I don’t think there’s no skippable tracks but some brilliant stuff on here. Highlights Come on Gypsy Eyes Voodoo Child

Not my personal favorite Hendrix record (that's either Band of Gypsies or Axis Bold As Love), but a damn fine classic rock record.

I haven’t heard this album in full since high school. What a nostalgic trip.

Jimi Hendrix is a god. However, I don't really dig long jam tracks and the album as a whole went on for a bit too long. Other than that, pure magic. Favorite Track: Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Is Jimi Hendrix the most influential guitar player that ever touched the strings? Pretty safe to say so. His creativity and ability to create sounds that have never been made to his day with the same instrument as everyone else is unmatched. Does all that make him automatically my favourite guitarist? With the biggest possible respect no. If your taste is to listen to pure instrumental virtuosity over album oriented songwriting then this is an instant 5 star without a doubt. There are moments when I want exactly that but its not my daily kind of bread. It is really long having 75 minutes of playtime and much of it really is just kind of jamming around. Jamming around with the greatest guitarist of all time of course but still most of the times Im not able to stay focused through the whole album. Probably because I dont understand enough of guitarplaying to comprehend the full extension of his genius though so thats a me problem. Im also not the biggest fan of his singing but who would put a Hendrix record on for the vocals not the guitar so thats kind of a meaningless point I guess. Hard to judge because some days I cant focus on it at all and some days its the greatest thing on earth but giving 4 stars feels right. 4,0/5

This guy is GOOD at guitar

i mean he sure can noodle on that thing huh 3.5/5

Electric but you do need to skip to the good stuff
