An exelent album, however the CD manufacturer messed up the track running order. i. e side one and four on disc one followed by side two and three on disc two. The vinal album was designed to be stacked on your record player and had teath to stop slipage, dispite this it’s still worth bying, even if you have to programe your cd player to get the correct running order.

Hendrix is a great guitarist, and as expected, there are some great licks here. However, Electic Ladyland is almost embarrassingly awful in certain songs. Voodoo Chile and Watchtower are among the classics of rock, but a good deal of the balance of the album sounds off-key, is badly sung (especially the backing vocals) and has some weak attempts to be pyschedelic. It comes off as sophomoric at best. It now sounds cheesy and dated. Hendrix is best when he exploits his strengths–straight-forward bluesy rock, augmented by fantastically creative and skillful guitar.

This is by far the best Jimi Hendrix album, I know people say his first album was better, yeah because of what 4 good songs the rest sometimes could be cared less about but this album on this album there’s 6 of Jimi’s greatest hits “Crosstown Traffic”, “Long Hot Summer Night”, “Gypsy Eyes”, My favorite “Burning Of The Midnight Lamp”, the hit “All Along The Watchtower” and “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”. On top of those hits there is some deep experimentation songs on this album as well with songs like “1983. . . (A Mermaid I should Turn To Be), “Rainy Day, Dream Away”, and “Still Raining, Still Dreaming” and of course as some blues on the album with “Voodoo Chile. “. All that is on this album what’s there to hate.

Jimi Hendrix is the king of rock, but this cd just doesn’t cut it. It’s to soft and mellow. In are you experinced? he was rockin, and so as axis: bold as love. This is a far cry from the best jimi hendrix. If you want some rockin hendrix, get either are you experinced?, or axis: bold as love. Those are the best Jimi Hendrix.
