Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 83.5/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

I used to hear this the way other commenters say: great, but a little uneven and not as good as Electric Ladyland. But it has soaked in on me over the years. Now, there's not a single microsecond of this album that I don't absolutely love, and I now think it's the Hendrix album where the voodoo runs purest and strongest. Hendrix was SO much more than a guitar pioneer. His songwriting and conceptual clarity was razor sharp, and beyond the sheer intelligence, there's an extra spark--that's genius. I f'ing love this f'ing album.

Little Wing is one of the best songs ever made, definately top 5 imo. The album holds up great, but it's still the worst out of the 3 Hendrix albums. That isn't a bad achievement though. Castles made of Sand and Bold as Love are also amazing

I find I more like to watch Hendrix than listen to the albums as I struggle to connect with them. I don't enjoy this as much as the great stuff on Electric Ladyland (but I find this album more consistent) but this album doesn't reach the heights or consistency of Are You Experienced

For some unknown reasons, I considerate this album definitely 2 or 3 steps down respect the 1st and Electric Ladyland; however, we are still talking about a Jimi Hendrix album...

This Hendrix's album is overlooked by many prople, but there are a lot of hidden gems in the tracklist.

I actually think this is Hendrix's best material, and this album is where he seems "free" in a sense.

A great follow-up to Are You Experienced. "Little Wing", "Castles Made of Sand", and the title track are the best tracks here for me. This album does everything that a successful sophomore album should. It sounds new, and is a progression from work he produced before.
