Editorial Review:
As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as "far out" as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. "Purple Haze," "Manic Depression," and "I Don't Live Today" filled ears with indelible sonic images, and songs like "Foxey Lady" and "Fire" pointed the way toward a new brand of rock-charged soul music. And how about a hand for drummer Mitch Mitchell? --Billy Altman
Are You Experienced Reviews:
The absolute best..... 
2009-10-24 - If you were on a deserted Island and you could only pick 10 cd's to have, this would be one of the ten. Man this is some awesome music.
What a debut album!!
2009-10-12 - This album is often considered one of the best rock debuts in history. And for good reason. This album comes off as a greatest hits album for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The first track is a showstopper itself. Purple Haze, one of their most known songs of all time. What more could you ask for with this one. Then there is the wonderful folk-rock song, Hey Joe. This is one of my favorites on the album. The smooth track "The Wind Cries Mary" is a great song that you have got to hear! Then there is the live rock staple "Fire". Foxey Lady comes through delivering great and raw guitar work. Jimi decides to let loose on the track "Stone Free". Kind of rare in the fact that you can tell he kind of held back on most of his studio work. The last few songs of this blockbuster lean more towards a bluesy rock sound. In my opinion, the last track "Red House" can be considered a downright pure blues song. All in all a must have for any Hendrix fan. If you don't have this album, go out and buy it right now!!!
Essential music for fans of psychedelic rock
2009-09-10 - I bought this CD awhile ago and recently started listening to it, and its become one of my favorites. I love Jimi Hendrix's style of playing, its really raw energy and he performs spectacularly. "The Wind Cries Mary" and "Purple Haze" are well known songs of his, but its the stuff that comes later on in the CD like "Highway Chile" and "Stone Free" that I really enjoy also. "Are You Experienced" is packed with songs, and I don't think any of them are filler or bad in any way. As a guitarist Jimi was truly one of a kind, making strides forward and playing in a very soulful way that has earned him a reputation as the greatest rock guitarist there ever was. The songs are stellar, showcasing his band at their height musically and giving a glimpse of what was to come in his short career, cut back by his tragic death at an early age. This is obviously a classic rock album, and any decent fan of rock music should have it. I would recommend this, and also check out his version of the National Anthem for a glimpse of the raw talent this guy had.
