500 Albums Challenge 30/500: Are You Experienced- Jimi Hendrix
2 min readDec 22, 2020
So I’m back again for another album. Finally seeing one by Jimi Hendrix, the legend who played the guitar upside down. I heard his name a million times but never listened to his work. So now really thrilled to check it out.
Let’s Go…
- Purple Haze- Interesting song. The guitar is going crazy. But sadly doesn’t really go with my music taste…
- Manic Depression- Man that solo in the middle was lit. Just wished that the drums can sound a little tighter. This album feels like alternate rock, so a sub-genre of rock.
- Hey Joe- Great song with a stunning intro that caught my attention. Really smooth guitar and great solo at the break. And, nostalgic is the best feeling.
- Love or Confusion- Really enjoyed the intro. But the rest of the song is disappointing to me, only because it’s not my music taste.
- May This Be Love-
- I Don’t Live Today-
- The Wind Cries Mary- I like this one more than the previous two, because this one is smoother and softer.
- Fire-
- Third Stone from the Sun-
- Foxey Lady- That’s an interesting song!
- Are You Experienced- The song got such a weird mood, kinda hard to keep my ear tuned.
- Stone Free-
- 51st Anniversary- The guitar is sick.
- Highway Chile-
- Can You See Me-
- Remember-
- Red House-
Well, this might be a classic album, and Jimi Hendrix might be one of the best guitar players ever, but it is just not my music taste for some reason. I feel bad since I can’t appreciate the music.
