Full review
You either love the Doors music or you hate it. Jim Morrison was one of the biggest sex symbols of the late sixties and early seventies who came to an unfortunate end in a bathtub in Paris.
Was he a poet or a musician? His lyrics are deep and addictive. The music is often mesmeric with underlying Native American rhythm. This album is brilliant.
If you haven’t listened to any of the Doors music, I urge you to try it. Whatever Jim Morrison may have been in private, whether he was a playboy, a drug addict, an alcoholic or a homosexual, this doesn’t affect the music he made.
The performances were always filled with so much energy and meaning.
So, the songs on the album:
1. Break on through - I dare you to listen to this without playing air guitar and tapping your foot. Great song. 10/10
2. Soul Kitchen - awesome lyrics, give it a go. 9/10
3. The Crystal Ship - Lyrically good again. 9/10
4. Twentieth Century Fox - Not the best. 5/10
5. Alabama song - Sounds like a German umpha band. Great song, cover from the early 20th century. Brilliant. 10/10
6. Light my fire - Do I need to say anything about this? Written by Robby Krieger the guitarist, probably the Doors biggest ever hit. If you like Will Young’s version give this a go, this is far better. 10/10
7. Back Door man - One of the best songs on the album. Underlying homosexual lyrics. Fantastic thumping drums. 10/10
8. I Looked at you - Slower song but still mesmeric. Brilliant. 9/10
9. End of the Night - Not the best. 5/10
10. Take it as it comes - Ok song. 5/10
11. The end - Brilliant song. Banned all over the world initially. Freudian lyrics about Oedipus complex where apparently all men want to kill their fathers and have sex with their mums. (Freud was a crack head!) Great song. 10/10
Overall, great album, go buy it.
