I love me some Hendrix, but in my opinion unreleased tracks were not released for a reason. As is the norm with prevously unreleased music, the songs will probably suck.

Depends. If you are a Hendrix fan looking for finished, polished material that fit right in with your expectations of what a Hendrix song should sound like, yeah, you'll probably be disappointed.

However, if you are a Hendrix fan that enjoys his playing first, as opposed to his songs, if you're the kind of fan that would enjoy having been in the studio just listening to him noodling and doodling around, even goofing around, creating stuff, it could be a gold mine of interesting, different, maybe even odd but quintessentially Jimi stuff.

That's not true at all. Record labels rule what the artist puts out. There are instances all the time where a whole album is shelved just because a label doesn't think it is commercial enough. I like a lot of unreleased material... :shrug:
