This is the first Jimi Hendrix album I've ever listened to and I felt underwhelmed after finishing it because all the reviews said it was fantastic and stuff. Is electric ladyland actually better? Should I check it out?

You have to understand that it was released 50 years ago. The things Hendrix did with his guitar were revolutionary then, but they're not so impressive nowadays.
He only has 3 studio albums, give Axis Bold As Love a listen, and then Electric Ladyland. Always worth going chronologically if it's feasible.
You might enjoy Axis more as it is quite a bit more stonery and out there. Electric Ladyland takes it up another notch though.
Whether you really enjoy Hendrix or not, it's a good idea to listen to his music, just because of how central a figure he was to the evolution of rock music at the end of the 60s.

I'm by no means an avid Hendrix listener, but I've always got the impression that Electric Ladyland was much more harder and psychedelic album, while pic related was more rooted in the blues. Take that as you will.
People on this website don't give Hendrix enough credit. I think people don't understand the amount of influence he had on funk music. If you are digging something with a poppier edge, check out Parliament.

just got into hendrix a couple years ago but I'm in love with that shit.
Are you experienced has many catchy accesible tracks. It's his most pop-y album if you don't mind me saying it that way.
Axis is good too but Electric Ladyland is on another level. Psychedelic af while still keeping that blues feel. Voodoo Chile (the long one) is just incredible and especially on acid. Good times. I love all the weird noisy stuff too, like the intro
