In 1989, Noe Goldwasser, the founding editor of Guitar World , described Are You Experienced as “the album that shook the world … leaving it forever changed”. In 2005, Rolling Stone called the double-platinum LP Hendrix’s “epochal debut”, and they ranked it the 15th greatest album of all time, noting his “exploitation of amp howl”, and characterizing his guitar playing as “incendiary … historic in itself”.
