Are You Experienced is, sadly, one of the best examples of how music can become outdated. The amount of feedback and guitar solos an average rock music listener has heard over the many years since its recording makes it almost completely deprived of the shock value it had at the time. It remains an essential recording and a great listen nonetheless, but unfortunately it probably won't affect you the way it should.

Jimi Hendrix is a psychedelic music act that I don?t really care about. It?s very influential and there are really great tracks in this album. I just don?t care, it doesn?t bring any emotions in me and while I can say Jimi Hendrix is a very important and influential musician, I just don?t really care about his music. I think I feel like his music hasn?t aged as well, there are much more artists and albums from that era that work much better in the 21st century than Jimi. And I wish I wouldn?t think like that, but that?s how it is.

Decades after its release, 'Are You Experienced' is now regarded, thanks to its complex, magnificent songs that brings an entirely new, ready-made textbook on rock, psychedelia and guitar, as the debut that all debuts must be measured by.

1967 was a good year for music. The Doors' self-titled, Sgt. Pepper, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I always knew I was born in the wrong era. I would have thrived in the 60s! All of these 1967 albums defined rock and roll in one way or another, so I think I'll just leave it at that. Also, Jimi Hendrix knew his way around a guitar. Listen to those bluesy riffs... they're awesome!

how the fuck does this have not even 100 votes, while Electric Ladyland has almost 1000? did people just forget about Jimi's legendary debut album?

This album is exceptional. Too bluesy for my white ass, thats for sure.

Jimi's debut and although in my opinion it's not quite as good as Electric Ladyland it's still as good as almost everything he put out in his lifetime. The obviously signature guitar-work is present and the best songs here have to be the obvious 'Purple Haze', 'Foxy Lady', 'Manic Depression', 'The Wind Cries Mary' and 'Hey Joe'

It's hard to formulate a lot of my thoughts on why I don't LOVE this album, I think Jimi's guitar playing is phenomenal and the grooves and pockets keep your head nodding. The lyrics can be surprisingly depressive (probably the thing that surprised me the most), and like, Jimi can rock vocally. But this very much feels like a first-outing type of record, and I know (or hope) it gets better from here. I feel like any *actual* complaints I would have would be unfair to this album since I'm listening to it in such a modern lens. I know this was revolutionary, and there's some stuff that holds up still but a lot of it (to me, now) just kinda comes and goes. I enjoy it a lot when it's on though.

Incredibly essential. You can almost hear the influence of songs like Purple Haze, Foxey Lady, and Fire on the essentials of rock music and heavy metal that would dominate the 70s.

Setting aside personal enjoyment... This album made something that is instantly recognizable in it's visceral feeling, and yet is equally entrancing in it's soulful execution. This is essentially the archetype of someone pouring their souls into a rock album, with instrumentation that is appropriately expressive to match spirits bursting with life.

While I respect thw incredible influence this album had on everything eock, metal, and even past that, I am not a blues man, and therefore cannot appreciate it too much. Sure, it is good, but Hendrix is honestly kinda sloppy (yes, I know that is the point), and though it might have been impressive for the time, it is very standard today.

Are You Experienced is a stone cold classic and celebration of rock music. The singles from this album will be played and replayed as long as there are radio airwaves, online streaming and whatever else future format will be created. Jimi Hendrix of course is the legendary guitarist and front man for the group. However Mitch Mitchell (percussion) and Noel Redding (bassist) deserve full credit as quality backing musicians to Hendrix's wizardry. Along with Cream, they helped establish the power trio concept in rock.

Yes. Fuck yes. So many legendary bands suddenly changed up the way they played music after this record hit the scene. This is just about the most beautiful moments in music history, perfect synchronicity between bandmates, no bullshit racism...if anything, the 2 white guys playing rhythm section are what truly makes the Hendrix Experience a muthafuckin funk monster. Jimi's guitar is perfect, and really works as a 4th band member. His lyrics would improve, but he still has great, iconic lines, and was entering his own as a storyteller. The band effortlessly excels at whatever tempo type of song they wanna do, and each song is tight and direct. There isn't a whole lot of that extended jamming that would be found on the next 2 albums. I dig it. r

I actually own the Vinyl of this and was the first LP I put on it to test it out. I do quite enjoy this LP and Hendrix's skills but there's this strange disconnect between me and it. Maybe I just need to listen to it more, maybe I just need to concentrate more.rFavorite Tracks: All of the Side 2 (Wind Cries Mary, Fire, 3rd Stone from the Sky, Foxey Lady, and Are You Experienced?), really. Though my vinyl reads a bit differently than the full tracklist above. This is the 2014 version so this might be a re-release where 6 of its songs are missing OR somebody got their info wrong. I'm willing to believe either of these.

The original U.S. release is a 5.0, which has only the best songs of the U.K. release plus the best singles.

The main issue with Are You Experienced? is the lack of cohesion. This could be explained by the fact that it has two versions with different track listings. The good songs work well on here, but, in my opinion, this album is slightly overrated. Don't get me wrong, this still has some of his best material, but I wouldn't say it's his best work. For all intents and purposes, my soundoff shall refer to the 11 tracks on the North American edition.

Are you experienced?... ...at skipping filler tracks? Alright, that's probably a better blurb for Electric Ladyland, but this has the title. Anyway, good stuff
