1001 Albums Summary

Before listening I was kinda optimistic because of just how Hendrix is popular. But I was ready to drown in jazz slop First impression after listening - it's fine. Not too exciting, not too boring, not too technical, but I liked some riffs and cold acoustic sound combined with almost out of place wah wah and distortion. Some songs are just as regular if not boring for me as a song from 1960s can be. Some (like Come On and Still Raining) sound very catchy after that boring stuff. 15 mins long Voodoo Chile first sounds like joke and then you realize they've just put a whole improvisation show on the recording My favorites (not ordered): Gipsy Eyes - I love the riffs, drum are incredible; Still Raining, Still Dreaming - wah wah is fun; Come On - I like the solos and the main riff; Cross Town Traffic - extremely relieving after the first 2 tracks, catchy vocals; I liked it more than I expected, mostly because the boring stuff is constantly interrupted by some interesting licks. Would listen again if I didn't have alternatives. Would rate it 3.5 but there's no half stars so it'll take 4 because it doesn't deserve 3

Extremely energetic rock n roll piano. I like his style, but get bored really quickly, so it's only 22 minutes for a reason. Same repeating notes, which sound very fun and builds tension at first, but when you hear them in the third song in a row it's not interesting anymore. It's definitely more roll than rock and definitely not what I expected to hear. Perfect background for playing poker. Would listen again while playing poker 6/10 My favorites (not ordered): Money - just like it, I cant tell why; Your Cheating Heart - a nice break after repetitive energetic stuff; Whole Lotta Shaking - that fadeout in the middle;

Well it's Nirvana. What else do I need to say. Felt like I was teleported on a submarine with a psycho medic and a few raptors in the ballast... btw why is there a hole in my room ah yes it's new engi's toy.. If 5 stars is 'absolutely amazing, one of my favorites of all time' then this is 4. Solid, but not Five Magics solo yet.
