Talk:Band of Gypsys

Critical reception

 * There have been several attempts to tone down the harsh wording of the "Critical reception" section. The way the critic's opinions have been presented doesn't match their ratings, giving the reader a confusing picture. Also, it contrasts sharply with the "Influence" section, making the critics seem out of touch. Sometimes there are attempts to titillate readers (usually through controversy) without imparting any real insight; why is it necessary to open with "Band of Gypsys has often been viewed as the least important album that Hendrix released when he was alive"? He only released four albums of new material and the review scores don't show that big of a spread (four stars versus five). The section should be rewritten for more balance. A better wording for the introduction might be "Band of Gypsys has been viewed by some rock critics less favorably than Hendrix's three studio albums with the Experience." —Ojorojo (talk) 16:20, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
