Axis: Bold As Love
by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 08 2025
Such an enjoyable album to listen to, there wasn't a single weak track, and it sounded so ahead of its time. As expected, vocals, guitars, and drums were all exceptional, and I loved hearing the use of the (then) groundbreaking techniques e.g., the "wah wah" effect on the electric guitar in "Little Miss Lover". The intro was trippy as hell, and I loved the sounds swirling around my head throughout the album. "Spanish Castle Magic", "If 6 Was Nine" and "One Rainy Wish" were the standout tracks to me, but they are all outstanding. I also really enjoyed the personal lyrics in "Castles Made of Sand", and the space-like guitar solo at the end of "Bold as Love".
