0.0 | EVedder27 | March 24th 10 | 40 years since his death, Jimi Hendrix is still having an immense impact on the music universe. "Valleys of Neptune" is a collection of unreleased and "new" material that does not cease to convey what Hendrix was all about. The 2010 release does not seem to bring anything new to the table, but is an excellent record in its own right and should not be ignored.

4.0 excellent | RobGHH | November 8th 16 | Obviously an album filled with studio jam sessions, this posthumous release perhaps showcases some of Hendrix's finest guitar playing. This mostly blues oriented LP contains, in my opinion, superior versions of two previous Hendrix classics: Stone Free and Fire, both of which were made into more uptempo numbers (how this could be done with such a punchy song as Fire remains a mystery!) with a much better production value. The long instrumental versions of Red House and Sunshine of Your Love are examples of where Hendrix really shows us the goods, with monster guitar playing proving he was probably the best guitarist to have ever lived. Though this album is truly a great listen, it is as I said an album of jams, so if you're looking for well structured songs, this might not be for you. And such is the minor downfall of this album, some of the songs are very similar. But, there isn't really a moment where you wish you were listening to something else. One of his best posthumous releases.

4.5 superb | Spotter | August 9th 10 | It was my first Jimi Hendrix album I've ever heard and the guitar playing was the shit. The Singing was very good too. I recommend this album if you want to listen to classic guitar playing.

5.0 classic | charlie71 | March 13th 10 | That album is a masterpiece in the rock guitar history... You can compare to "The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery"!!!!
