Are You Experienced

A mature, confident album that knows exactly what it wants to be. No wasted tracks, no unnecessary detours. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it polishes it to a brilliant shine. Thoroughly enjoyable.

This album is a complete artistic statement. No filler, no compromises.

Competent and often enjoyable, but feels like it's missing something to make it truly special.

Peak creative output from an artist at the top of their game.

A few tracks could have been cut without losing anything, but what's here is largely excellent. The production is gorgeous and the performances are top-notch. One of the better albums I've heard recently.

Not just a great album — a cultural touchstone.

This album exists in its own universe. Nothing compares.

Flawless execution of an ambitious vision. This is why we love music.

Ambitious and mostly successful. A couple of missteps keep it from true perfection.
