I much prefer the three Experience albums and the Hendrix In The West live album
Yes it's good but it doesn't grab me quite as much as his Sixties output.
Just sayin'!

Before listening I was like "no way", but after listening to it I found out the reason I'm not rating it that much is because I haven't listened to it nearly as much as the 3 Experience albums. This is a different kind of Jimi and his playing is at his very best here, really packs a punch. Now I probably wouldn't say it's better than Axis, but it's damn close.

I have a hard time believing more than 80% of the population of the United States in the year 1970 even knew what Romani referred to.
Ergo if you referred to Romani to Jimi Hendrix he'd have no idea what you were talking about.
Ergo for him it actually (ironically likely for those that can't stand this concept) possibly was something he associated himself with, as a traveling musician himself. He very likely thought of the term in a positive light instead of a negative slur like we can today.
Let me know when the logic says he called his own band a bad slur for the sake of the slur. Reality on this is that words change overtime and not all slurs are because of bigotry.
Having said that, go you for fighting for that today now that more percentage of people are trying to be educated.
In literary theory by the way, they call this concept a limitations of horizons. You can't expect someone from another time to think like you do or attribute Marxist thought to a 12th century writing, no matter how much it talks about class struggle.
But of course I'll be called the idiot here.

As to the album, I'm less a fan of the rhythm section and the live takes are great, but studio albums have this magic missing here.

When I first bought this record it had the puppet cover. Interesting cover but really made no sense. Discontinued now. Still a fine album

Gypsy is commonly a slur used to demean and reduce Romani people.
