This album just get's better with every listen. Magnificent album that highlights Hendrix's talents (although not as much as on Electric Ladyland).

Every time I listen to this, I just have to bump it a few places up my chart. Sometimes I doubt the album, and think that I overrate it a bit, but another listen confirms my stupidity.

And to pick a favourite song from this is very difficult, but some of my favourites are: Purple Haze, May This Be Love, Love or Confusion, Fire and Are You Experienced? but, as I there are really no weak songs on here at all.

And my rating is from the US version- though I own all the songs on both editions, and like pretty much all of them anyway.

The UK version is good, but the US version is better. My ratings are on the UK version.

Obviously the original 11-track U.S. version has much more impact than its British counterpart. Without a doubt that is the set of songs, I'm putting on the #1 spot for 1967.

My rating reflects the U.S. version with "Purple Haze"

Just listened again... Yeah this record is ASTOUNDING! Like it is almost too good to be real! The US version I have, yeah it's incred. There are IDE say 12 classic classic classic tracks here!

Agreed with the American version, but if you include the "rerelease", it does start to turn into a best of kinda thing... Regardless of lame decisions by record companies... this is an amazing album.

Disappointing that this site only has the UK version as it is missing some great tracks and most notably Purple Haze, but I do like the order of the tracks better in the UK version. Still rating this as if it was the US version, which is a fantastic album.

Hands down one of the greatest debut albums of all time, Are You Experienced introduced the world to the greatest guitar player who had ever lived. Jimi Hendrix's guitar work is just plain incredible. This is one of the key albums that defined the Summer of Love for 1967.

Just listened to it again this morning. On a sonic level alone, this is one of the most influential albums ever, up there with "Pet sounds", "Revolver" and "Sgt Pepper's...".

Am I the only one in here who loves the UK version as well?
