This might have been the greatest of Jimi's work if they had edited it down to a single LP instead of a double album. Some great music overall.

The very first time I heard Voodoo Child (slight return) on this album, I went crazy. I turned the volume on my stereo all the way to its max and the neighbors complained but i didnt care. This was a song you had to listen to over and over and over again. Especially since it was from the greatest rock musician who ever lived. Jimi Hendrix was a tornado.

At times meandering, but still a showcase for the musical genius that Hendrix was. Hidden in these tracks is the voice of a generation.

Keep in mind that this album was from the late sixties. The sound Hendrix created was unheard of, and to this day unparalleled- even with the electronic advances. The production as well as the mix were equally ahead of their time. The copies available of this work very widely in quality. I have a German import CD that was somewhat pricey with the original UK cover of the naked ladies that was banned in the U.S. Insist on quality. From subtle nuances, to the buzz of previously uncharted electronic technics amplified to oblivion- you will want to experience (another great Hendrix album) this, the best of, the worlds greatest guitar God. You can hear this double-album a hundred times and discover something new each time. Thirty-five years later, this man and this gift to the world has yet to be equaled.

Jimi reaches critical mass

The only thing that I regret about the coming of Jimi Hendrix are the lame Hendrix wannabes that came afterwards like Malmsteen, Vai, Johnson, and Satriani. At least Hendrix was also talented enough to write lyrics as well as workin' the axe.

My personnel favorate of the Experience albums. One of the greats! Voodo chile is an amazing song and pretty much sums up the album! Some of Mitch Mitchels drummin is simply amazing, can't find fault with Noel Redings bass playing, and Jimi up front. What a line up!

Not as good as his debut of Are You Experienced, but it gave us his electrifying version of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower."

Before Jimi realized he could sing, he focused on the instrumental worlds he could create-the actual song Electric Ladyland is a psychadelic trip which I miss since I lost the CD but it's definitely a classic for Jimi lovers.

if i could pick one album to listen to for the rest of my life it would be ladyland. Jimi expresses things that no mortal could or ever will. hes got jazzy rainey day to bluesy voodo chile to intense slight return and trippy 1983. there is no question that Jimi's gituar playin has no equal but hes also got lyrics in 1983 that Bob dylan on acid couldnt dream of writing. Who gave it a 1??

Jimi Hendrix is by far the best guitarist. Just listen to this album. He tears up blues tracks and rock and roll. His electric blues get to you in a split second. His version of Bob Dylan's, "All Along the Watchtower" blows you away. Bob Dylan himself said, "I didn't write that, Jimi did".

If you love guitar like I do, you can't help but enjoy this CD. One of the most innovative albums when it was released, this albun features everthing from blues jams, to rock and roll, to rich soundscapes. Jimi at his best.

If I was to ever take acid, I would definitely listen to this album till my ears bled.

I'm unfairly biased, because Jimi Hendrix is my favorite musician. I started playing guitar when I heard him. I just had to make a guitar sound like that. This is an especially good album because not only does it showcase my favorite song, "All Along the Watchtower", it also has the tour-de-force "Voodoo Child". Wah-Wah is where it's at. Definitely a freakin' great album.

Jimi's best effort while with the original experience lineup. Simply amazing considering it was recorded using only four tracks. The range from the blues inspired 'Voodoo Chile' (slight return) to the compelling catchiness of 'Rainy Day...Dream Away' highights his guitar skill and songwriting ability. Take your Rennon and use him as a suppository. Hendrix is better.

He set the standard in making monumental albums. Even more than Sgt. Peppers is the studio depths of effects and feeling.
scott 10/13/2000
Jimi enthralls me because I am a musician, and he is the most talented musician of the 20th century.
Pete R 10/01/2000
Although recorded in the 60s much of this album still stands as valid. You only have to listen to Voodoo Chile (slight return) or All Along the Watchtower to realise this mans greatness.
bac_7087om 06/03/2000
one of the greatest guitar albums of all time, if not the best
Wiggum 01/08/2000
A must-have for all true Hendrix fans.
