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 86.1/100, a mean average of 85.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

By the time he began to record 'Electric Ladyland', Jimi Hendrix had already learned enough about studio recording to be able to reproduce all the sounds he had in his head, note for note. The result was, in my opinion, the ultimate Jimi Hendrix experience and a testament to his songwriting and performance abilities. The whole thing is amazing, from the cosmic blues of 'Voodoo Chile' to the psychedelic 'Gypsy Eyes' to the jazzy prog-rock epic, '1983... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be), Hendrix managed to incorporate all of his musical influences without it sounding too convoluted or pretentious. Even near the end, the album keeps surprising us, its most memorable songs being its last two: 'All Along the Watchtower', probably the best cover ever made, and 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)', a standard for rock guitarists all over the world.

Probably no other album gets me more filled with energy and emotion than this one. This is Jimi's best work, and honestly her be one of my favorite artists if this album was his entire catalogue (plus bold as love). It's really a crime that this isn't WAAAYY higher on the list, and that AYE is so high in comparison.
Last year I totaled my car and had to buy a used one with a tape deck. I walked into a resale shop and spent the first actual money I spent on music in around 10-13 years ($8) to buy this album on cassette and played it nonstop the entire summer. Can't praise this album enough. Jimi really left too soon.

Jimi Hendrix's Magnum opus. Highlights include: All Along the Watchtower, Come On (Let the Good Times Roll, Voodoo Chile, and 1983 (A Mermaid I Should Turn to Be) (Edited)

This album is amazing! I have no idea why "Are You Experienced?" is more highly regarded, this blows it out of the water.
Great album, Jimi's guitar work was just as good as his first two albums, but when it comes to Jimi I prefer Axis.
