"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."

"The work Eddie Kramer did with Jimi Hendrix on the "Are you Experienced" and "Axis:Bold as Love" albums is ground breaking. The left to right paning on EXP, the extreme tone manipulation which would become the wah peddle and the advent of phase shifting which would become very popular with guitar players in the years to follow."
