I can understand why this album and Jimi Hendrix in general is viewed as very influential. The guitar sounds on this album are very new and modern and I haven't heard them like this on any album on this list until now. The style is lots of rock with blues and sometimes a little soul. Songwise there are some widely known hits, such as the rousing "Foxy lady", "Hey Joe" or "Purple haze", and some of the other songs seem very similar, a little formulaic, like "Manic depression". The singing of Hendrix is unique, but not really beautiful, it's more of a shouting sometimes. In soft songs like "May this be love" it sounds strange.
