The Doors

Every song on this album is of the highest quality, not a bad one among them. Every song on this album is recognisable and still sounds great over 40 years later. This is what is meant by 'iconic', everyone knows these songs, they perfectly pinpoint a time in musical history. Apparently I really like The Doors.

Wow, a bit of a roller coaster, but, like, the wooden kind.

Astonishing for a debut. A cultural colossus.

I am reminded of the many times I used to put 'The End' on the jukebox in my local pub, hear 30 seconds of it and then it being rejected and the barmaid giving me my quid back. "Who put that bloody song on again?!?!" jt4527? Here's your quid back!!!!! The Doors for me are a band I can not think about, not listen to for years and then immediately jump right back in without skipping a beat. I think I secretly and very subtly love The Doors very much. Classic album, brilliant! 5 / 5 stars!

I went through a huge Doors phase, and still love going back to their music. This album is arguably their best, and there aren't really 'bad' songs or filler, as in some other albums. I used to really buy in to the Jim Morrison as poet thing, but I think it's mostly nonsense, now. I still really enjoy their music, though!

try to run, try to hide RF: Classic/10

The Doors! One of the most overrated bands of all time. Boring never ending music as a backdrop to pathetic junkie cod philosophy that’s got undeserved kudos because music journalists are generally not that clever.

Songs I've heard 100 times too many, interspersed with deep cuts that should stay hidden. A bad trip at the surfing circus. I've always found The Doors to be fairly tedious, and this album didn't change my mind. 'Hey add another 5 minutes to this last song, Jimmy came up with a little tune about butt-fuckin' that we just *can't* cut."

A tiresome album from a tiresome band full of their worst excesses - Morrison’s meandering sixth form poetry, shouting and moaning dressed up in pretension coupled with Manzarek’s wailing, screeching organ solos overpowering everything else on the track (which is a shame because the rest of the band are pretty solid). There’s the famous tracks you already know, plus plenty of filler, pale imitations of better blues rock or psychedelic rock where the doped up audience really are imagining The Doors are the key to unlocking the doors of perception, man. The problem is, you can accidentally be that but you can’t set out to be that. Stop trying so hard, guys. Can you imagine being at a gig where this happens?: ‘Morrison was well known for improvising spoken word poetry passages while the band played live.’ If this is his best un-improvised poetry I dread to think what his improvised work was like. Some choice morsels; ‘ Time to live/ Time to lie/ Time to laugh/ Time to die’ ‘ You know the day destroys the night / Night divides the day’ ‘ The days are bright and filled with pain/ Enclose me in your gentle rain’ ‘Here is Jane/ See Jane run’ Dont get me wrong - popular music can be totally disposable and throw away. It doesn’t have to be deep and meaningful. The problem here is that Morrison and the band think they and their music are deep and meaningful. The album concludes as you might imagine - with a ten minute plus self congratulatory number, an attempt at some long form jazz, not so much The End as When Will This End?

Fantastic album. Might as well be a greatest hits part 1. Unique sound.

A ma grande surprise, cet album des Portes de Marbre était plutôt agréable et bien senti, et m'a permis de passer un bon moment. C'est ce que j'aurai écrit si j'avais écouté, comme me l'a fait remarquer en plein milieu de l'écoute mon compatriote l'illustre Robdesert, cet album avec mon seul écouteur gauche... En effet, dès l'instant où l'on a le MALHEUR d'insérer son écouteur droit à l'intérieur de sa trompe auditive, tous les maux de The Doors font irruption, ou plutot LE mal de The Doors, j'ai nommé le detestable Manzarek. Nous proposant un synthé aux sonorités d'orgue tout le long de ce putain d'album, Manzarev nous fait passer un véritable supplice, camouflant la performance de Jim Morrisson en utilisant des extraits de discours du Grand Schtroumpf. Le plus grave dans tout ça, c'est que Manzarev vient même imposer sa loi 7 minutes durant, sur le titre désormais classé comme indésirable Light My Fire, nous offrant un solo tout bonnement inaudibe, non sans rappeler le générique du non méconnu Il était une fois l'homme. Manzarev rentre dans le top 3 des ennemis publics de ce générateur, et rejoins ainsi Elvis Costello et le créateur de cette liste ridicule.

When I think of 60's rock, I think of music just like this. This album must have had a profound influence on the rock counter-culture scene then, but there's something profoundly darker in this album than their generational counterparts. I've actually read the book that this band based their name on, and I can totally see the influence in it's psychedelic nature. I love the organs on the songs, its just so groovy and classic sounding. Morrison's vocal performance is fantastic, the guitars are good but mixed a little low, there's nothing too special to say about the drums or bass, the vocals and organ really carried most of the songs. I don't think this type of sound has aged too well though, it's good but it sounds so terribly dated. Maybe that gives it novelty, being a unique product of the times, and thankfully the Doors did this type of music very well. I will also admit that some of these songs didn't flow together well at all (like alabama song). But on a positive note, the organ solo on light my fire is one of the greatest things I've ever heard though. Overall, I liked this album a lot, but I had some problems with it, so I'll rank it a 3.5/5. Favorite song: Light My Fire - Least Favorite: Alabama Song

This album carries so much nostalgia for me. It was something I’d listen to as a teenager in order to connect with my dad. Jim Morrison is an iconic frontman, and his rich baritone over the Hammond organ and the rest of their rocking set the standard for the genre.

I used to love the doors. Probably enough that I overlistened to them. Still awesome. Jim Morrisons voice is still iconic. It's rare I find the mood to actually listen to them anymore though.

Au fil de l'écoute, on s'aperçoit d'une véritable différence de niveau entre le deux écouteurs. Du côté gauche, les musiciens s'appliquent, le son est propre, le rythme juste. C'est dans l'écouteur droit que les choses se compliquent ; ça grésille, ça bourdonne, et, cerise sur la gâteau, ça joue de l'orgue. Le coupable n'est autre que Manzarek et celui-ci est bien décidé à pourrir l'album. La comparaison avec Framal du S-crew est dès lors inévitable.

I was fully prepared for Pink Moon to be my favorite album of the week, and my favorite album on the list for at least more than 24 hours, then we get THIS?? One of my favorite albums of the '60s and of all time. It's the second one on this list that I have on vinyl. A true classic. I don't know how much I need to say here. This album is a hit machine. Jim Morrison's voice and Ray Manzarek's organ make the perfect psychedelic combination, and every song sounds like it could've been a single (even "Alabama Song"). "The End" is one of my favorite songs ever made. I have so many memories tied to it--I put it on during a tornado warning once in Greeley for dramatic effect, I play it during COD zombies matches when I know we've reached our wit's end, and of course the use in Apocalypse Now is legendary. We needed to balance out the British Invasion, so I agree with the Lizard King when he said "The West is the best. Get here, and we'll do the rest." Favorite tracks: THE END, Break On Through, Light My Fire, Soul Kitchen, Take It As It Comes. Album art: Iconic. In the words of Sleepy Joe, "c'mon, man!" The fact that 75% of the band is standing neatly next to a massive, superimposed headshot of Jim Morrison is hilarious and insane. Plus the font is awesome. 5/5

I groaned when this came up today as it was the second Doors album in as many days. But to my surprise it was much better than Morrison hotel. Even more impressive is the fact that this was their debut album. Morrison’s powerful voice and Manzarek’s keyboard playing are standouts. The highlight for me are the organ and guitar solos in Light my fire. The only song that I really didn’t like is the Bertold Brecht / Kurt Weill inspired Whisky Bottle.

One of the top two or three debut albums of all time. An utterly unique format for a band - no bass player, a jazz-obsessed drummer, and a keyboard player with a wacky setup, not to mention a sui generis guitar player AND Jim Morrison - the instantly create a sound and a style that both reflected current LA sounds and broke stunning new ground. And this album has some of their and the rock era’s greatest songs.

I can't think of many bands whose debut album made such an impact, with great songs and a truly fresh sound. Definitely the Beatles, Nirvana, and the Doors. The Doors aren't my favorite band or even close to my favorite band, but I've always loved Crystal Ship and did have my mind blown when in high school, I went to a performance of the Weill/Brecht opera Mahagonny with my Aunt Royanne and suddenly heard a guy sing the Alabama song, which I had no idea was a cover.

What better way to start this challenge than with the debut album of one of my favorite bands? This one's really solid, and contains a great mix of energetic blues-rock and slower psychedelic tracks. Fun times all the way through.

Much of the discourse surrounding The Doors relates to Jim Morrison’s almost divinely sensual mystique. And while his musings certain contribute significantly to the creative accolades of the band, The Doors are more than Morrison alone. Ray Manzarek’s genius, I would suggest, is at the heart of The Doors’ sound; they would be unrecognizable without his lines driving , his solos disorienting, ultra-psychedelic.

Great! But stop talking about little girls, creep

A monument in music history

Outstanding album. Fun fact: my friend and I once used The End at the end of a high school theatre sketch (could there be a sentence which more perfectly describes what I was like in high school? I think not). The first sentence of the song was met with great hilarity from the audience. Anyway, we filmed the sketch and put it on YouTube, and then it got flagged for copyright infringement. We never took it down, so it's still out there, with the audio removed.

Absolutely fantastic. "The End" is one of my favorite all time songs ("Apocalypse Now" anyone?) Would love to blast this one on the stereo, or car with the windows down. The crazy stereo mixing actually works great, I usually hate that, but it just puts this in the time period so perfectly and the separation of the instruments is cool.

That was fun! Listening to this inspired me to do a Doors binge yesterday

“Father…yes son…I want to kill you.” I just got this on vinyl from my record club. It’s a great combo of swingin’ sixties lounge and late sixties psych. Goes back and forth between dancing playboy bunnies and general Kurtz. Jim Morrison’s lyrics might be a bit overwrought, but we can for give the ol’ king snake, all these songs are undeniable, not a bad one in the bunch. All got radio play but one, and it’s still a banger. On the backbone of catchy keys and guitar licks it really shines. I don’t revisit the doors as much as a used to, but when I do, I really enjoy. It’s fun to imagine how weird/fun Jim Morrison would’ve become had he made it to old age. 5.

One of the greatest debut albums ever - I can only imagine how much more I'd enjoy this if I did psychedelics. Morrison's voice is obviously iconic and although I don't know what he's singing about half the time, I'm fully down with the ethereal imagery it creates. It is Manzarek's work on the keys, however, that really helps elevate and define the sound of The Doors here. Best track: The End

Fantastic music for a fall back to the 60’s. I never listened to them since I was a toddler and marijuana wasn’t legal. I image a psychedelic couch in a smoke filled room with pillows, plants and pot everywhere. They are the grooviest then and now. I’m sure my parents were terrified of them more then Elvis bringing rock and roll to the world. I could do meditation and yoga to this music all day long. Great drummer or should I say Symbolist! Great lyrics and a true opening up to the expanding minds of the 60’s revolutionary times. Don’t know if I would have like this music then but now see the beauty to it in all counts: lyrical, artistic, musical and dimensional. Girl we couldn’t get much higher. Come on baby light my fire. So cool man!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The original psychedelic masterpiece. Loved it!

There’s two ways of approaching The Doors. If you go into this album assuming it’s going to be something challenging and PROPERLY dark then it’s an abject failure. This is not 48 minutes of dangerous and satanically euphoric rock ’n’ roll mixed in with unholy wisdom beamed down to us by The Lizard King himself. This is 48 minutes of uneasy organ led oom-pah-pah music lead by a drunken boob reciting doggrel from off his own flaccid cock. This brings us to the second way of approaching The Doors: agreeing with all the above and deciding it’s only the better for it. This album is self evidently ridiculous. Jim Morrison is not even in the vague peripheries of being a good poet; his performance here is like watching someone repeatedly trip over a never ending cavalcade of banana skins. That laughable quality is what makes Morrison so amazing though. There is something about the insane pomposity of Morrison’s unarguable charisma that fully sucks you into the steely eyed psych of The Doors music. The majority of the songs here are amazing; from the mystical fury of ‘Break On Through (To the Other Side)’, the haunted menace of ‘End of the Night’ to the adjectives are entirely unnecessary ‘Light My Fire.’ Admittedly, I’m not sure it hangs together especially well as an album, and I do find the oh-so-iconic ‘The End’ to be unlistenable nonsense. Despite this, it’s still a fun and intriguing listen that both stands up today and so clearly points towards the blueprints for what would become punk and goth music. Now: let us all “ride the snake to the lake” as “the west is the best.”

I’m sure this was so cool when it came out but it is just kind of dorky to me. Jamming on that little organ? Okay.

“Jim Morrison was a poet” His poetry: “Ride the snake to the lake.”

"You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter: The Scary Door." jim morrison died when he 27. in that time he accomplished this great album. he died from the excesses of the rock and roll lifestyle. when i die at 27 it will be due to pork pie related injuries. please play beethoven at my funeral. for all its high peaks of greatness this album has far more dead spots than i remembered - hence the mean looking rating. however this is a proper album. 'soul kitchen' fucking rules. 'break on through' gives me that devo/jerry lee lewis/punk type foam at the mouth focused destruction kind of feeling that i so very much adore. not a bad wee disc.

I knew that the Doors would show up one day. Not sure why I am so out of step with the rest of the world on this but there is something so grating about them. 0 stars if I could. But, I did listen to the whole thing so I think I deserve something.

The fascinating thing about this album... Try to imagine that once there was a time, in 1967, that this was an anonymous debut by a band nobody had ever heard of, called 'The Doors'. And that you buy it, let the needle down on side A and that you hear 'Break on through'. What a debut. It's magnificent. 'Light my fire' is probably one of the best psychedelic songs ever. Did you ever realize that the Doors are probably the only rock band everyone knows the name of the keyboardist of, and hardly anybody the name of the guitar player? That's fascinating. And yes, there are some weaker moments. And yes, there are other highlights like 'The crystal ship' and 'Alabama'. It's simply a fantastic debut, with Jim Morrison's thing still inside his pants. 9 out of 10.

Contender for greatest rock debut album of all time. I love The Doors. I think they're one of the greatest bands ever. Perfect album from start to finish. Classic.

classic album with so many pop cultural defining songs.

Bias as this is already a fave of bangers and vibes.

Great and classic album. It's funny how the album I listened to the day before this one didn't age well and should remain in the grave, but then the next day I get a timeless gem like this. This is everything you can ask for in a record. Every song from front to back is good and enjoyable.

This is one of my favourite albums that I had the joy of discovering when I was in my mid teens. Along with the Velvet Underground album, it's one of the best debut albums from a major artist released in 1967. It truly stands the test of time and still sounds amazing all these years later. This is a desert island disc contender.

What an album! The hit rate is high and so many are classic tunes that put you straight into the zone you were in when you heard them before. I may have listened to this album a hundred times, it's possible.

Trippy, psychedelic, hypnotic, all round good vibes, great riffs and loving the organs (and marxophone)! Can't imagine how much LSD Jim Morrison had taken whilst writing the lyrics.

I mean... come on. It's The Doors. I've always loved them but I've never listened to this album in full and wow was it better than I thought. Each song was interesting and dynamic and absolutely incredible. I could do without "The End" but the album is too good for me to not give it a 5. These guys are absolute legends and I need to listen to this album more.

Fantastic album. A favorite of mine.

As far as debut albums go, it doesn’t get much better than this. Kicking off with Break on Through and closing with The End might be one of the best opener-closer combos. The whole album is dark, hypnotic, and endlessly cool. No question, this absolutely deserves its place on any all-time list.

Great album, loved it for a long time.

A great album. It's hard to believe that the band managed to create such a monumental work with their first album. It's really easy for me to award stars here. 5/5

A Doors album on the day of an enormous fight? 🤔

It is good stuff and obviously pretty iconic. But there is some quite long instrumental stuff that I don’t really care for. Then again The End is almost 12 minutes and I love that, so what do I know. Fun fact: Jim Morrison is the first person on the list who’s grave I’ve visited. The Simpsons: The End is used three times! On reflection maybe that’s why I like that song so much. With added help from Apocalypse Now

The Doors by The Doors is an engaging album that’s a pleasure to listen to, with hardly any low points. It maintains a consistently high quality, featuring well-crafted instrumentals, beautiful and fitting vocals, and impressive poetry. The album opens with a powerful intro and closes with a fitting outro, making for a cohesive and fun listening experience throughout.

Discovered that I own this, and "Waiting For The Sun"; I guess I am a secret Doors fan unbeknownst even to myself. Gotta agree this is a high quality debut and admit I am quite fond of the organ. Docked a point for that godawful Brecht/Weill number. Highlight is (most of) The End which was used so perfectly in Apocalypse Now that I play the opening bars in my mind whenever I see a cluster of palm trees, excitedly waiting for the napalm. Quite a burden if you lived in SoCal. The horror, the horror

Woooo The allegations are true, i am a rock organ enjoyer. and enjoy i did. gorgeous wee album, best in the first half but full of lovely tunes. Oh to have hit a blunt before listening to this

I bought this tape when I was a kid. I was firmly in the classic rock Aerosmith / Led Zeppelin mode and The Doors was a necessary album at the time. And that tape was censored, which I didn't know at the time. So that bit in 'Break On Through To The Other Side' when he screams "She gets high!" for me was just "She gets!". Which honestly made enough sense back then and hearing "high" now sounds all wrong. Anyway - these tunes are good. Jim Morrison is just a good enough poet to land some good lines and the rest of it comes off as ridiculous pretentiousness that's pretty fun. It's a heckuva mix, which intentional goodness and untintentional goodness that adds up to a lot of goodness. I mean 'Soul Kitchen'? 'Soul Kitchen'? It's hard to hate an album that has a song about sleeping in someone's soul kitchen.

I'm a sucker for a good organ line and this album holds some sentimental value. The lyrics are the sort that probably sounded deep if you were high but otherwise come off as kind of silly. 4/5 stars

I've listened to this album quite a few times. This like wild mixture of Jazz, Blues, rock, and a heavy dash of poetry. It slaps, hard. Break on the through, what a solid fucking intro song for a band on their debut album. It sticks with you. Also man, I wish more modern music incorporated Organs more into the sound. It's so solid.

What an album. I loved this! I knew of The Doors, but never really listened to them. Some great songs and The End is an absolute study in drug taking. The only dud track for me was Alabama Song where I could almost taste the LSD. Great album and will be revisiting. Love that 60s organ sound as well. Best tracks: Light my Fire & Take It As It Comes.

With this album coming into the list I hope we have now broken through to the other side. The minute I saw this classic cover of the group shadowed by a pensive yet determined lead singers headshot (sort of looks like Tom Brady), I knew I was in for a treat. I’m sure I’ve listened to this album before but this felt like a new listen. There are so many gems on this one. Break On Through, Soul Kitchen, Alabama Song, Light My Fire, and of course The End. A classic song that is featured both in Apocalypse Now and when we play Call of Duty: Zombies. I love how the album, when thinking about it, screams classic Rock, but when you listen to it, it feels a lot lighter than Rock. It plays a lot more like other late 60’s early 70’s albums with the electric piano. Reminds me a little of Ryan Goslings band Dead Man’s Bones, especially on In the Room Where You Sleep. I say this as I’m listening to I Looked At You. So I don’t really see this as a Led Zepplin or Journey type of Rock but that doesn’t diminish the power in this album. Even with a few weaker songs this is still a fantastic album to listen to at any time. 9/10

This is one good example of how the radio can sometimes distract from the art of an album. Songs like Crystal Ship remind me how many good vibes are found between the overplayed hits. Whether psychedelics are involved or not, this self-titled LP of wild organ riffs and raw Morrison vocals provide quite a trip!

The Doors had an iconic sound from the start. That classic organ paired with Jim Morrison's howl is unbeatable. Both cool and rebellious, it's a solid debut, even if a few songs meander a bit.

Hey, I’ve *watched* ‘Apocalypse Now Redux* and will *willingly* watch it again! Bit grumpy RNG has given us a consecutive weekend doses of the Doors, and almost defaulted this to 2 over an impatient first listen, but skipping through this a second time, I realised most of the songs I thought sucked have their charms. The vocalist’s horny shamanistic pretensions are present, yet they work with the setting, and the band is never less than listenable. I picked up a couple of sonic puns: ‘“This is the End…” DUM DUM DUM!’ And the Alabama whisky bar song being a cabaret-worthy oompa-oompa rollick. Not crap, a perhaps mean 3 here. Writing this on Friday, going back to the Associates record to see if I like it as much a day later.

I think there might be something wrong mentally with lead singer. For a debut and 1967 it's insane. Every 5 minutes something disturbing is in the lyrics. Obviously couldn't be a rock album without mentioning little girls. It's a good album but personally I don't think I'd find myself returning to it. The End was awesome though, I feel like Swans took a lot of influence from this song. Score: 70 Art: 60

Starts off sort of strong but then falls apart quickly. "Twentieth Century Fox" is just a bad attempt at a song and I don't care what anyone else says. "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" is a very good attempt at ruining a Bertolt Brecht song. Their attempt at covering Willie Dixon's "Back Door Man" fails miserably and ends up sounding like some teenagers jamming in their parents' basement. I refuse to spend another second listening to "Light My Fire." This is a downright horrible album that suffers from the weight of their own egos. The only highlight is the openers and closers. But, they've also been ruined by overplaying on classic rock stations. Confirms that the Doors were a shit band.

Gem!

Sound of the 60s, legendary

Favorite Track: Break on Through (To the Other Side)

robby krieger is the best guitarist from the 60s

Superb

After complining about getting recommended 60s rock bands non-stop, the music gods finally listened and gave me a 60s rock band I actually like. This is my favorite Doors album, Jim's voice makes me swoon. Listened to it 3x on a row.

Love this album.

Great album!

9.3/10

Hell yeah

Much Better than Coldplay.

Really enjoyable psych rock album. Ray Manzarek was a legend and I could listen to him play organ or keyboards all day.

A classic!

Absolute classic songs that helped push the forefront of music.

Absolute classic. Spent many an hour in my teenage years wearing out my dad's vinyl copy.

All hail the lizard king

fuuuckkk yeaaaaahhhhh my husband everyone!!!!!!!! every single song is an absolute banger, one of the albums i never get sick of listening over and over again, i mean it has ‘the end’ in it, one of my all time favorite songs. And this is a debut album, insane!!! cant praise this one enough, just love it love it love it<33333

The Colourfield song "I can't get enough of you baby" sounds similar to Soul Kitchen. Anyways, this is a great album that is loaded with sauce.

Classic doors album they don’t make albums like this anymore. Hit play and let it play through

Classic and it sounded like nothing else at the time.

crazy album man, only bangers...

Hell yeah!

One of the long line of ground breaking albums fronted by a person that can’t sing but is charismatic. Excellent album.

Das Debütalbum der US-amerikanischen Rockband The Doors wurde im August und September 1966 in den Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles aufgenommen. Es erschien Anfang 1967 und markiert den Beginn einer kurzen, aber einflussreichen Karriere. Die Band, bestehend aus Jim Morrison (Gesang), Ray Manzarek (Keyboard), Robby Krieger (Gitarre) und John Densmore (Schlagzeug), entwickelte mit diesem Werk ihren charakteristischen Stil, der Elemente aus Psychedelic Rock, Blues und Jazz verbindet. Schon der erste Titel „Break On Through (To the Other Side)“ gibt die Richtung vor: rhythmisch direkt, textlich offen für Interpretation. Die Band zeigt sich hier experimentierfreudig, ohne den Song aus dem Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist „Light My Fire“, das sich durch das Zusammenspiel zwischen Orgel und Gitarre sowie den längeren instrumentalen Passagen von vielen anderen Songs der Zeit unterscheidet. Auch „The End“, das über elf Minuten dauert, fällt durch seine düstere Stimmung und die offene Struktur auf. Die Texte bewegen sich zwischen poetischer Bildsprache und gesellschaftlicher Kritik. Morrisons Stimme, mal ruhig erzählend, mal ausbrechend, trägt die Stücke und verstärkt ihre Wirkung. Die Produktion in den Sunset Sound Recorders bringt die Instrumente klar zur Geltung, ohne den Klang unnötig zu glätten. Das Album lässt sich dem Genre Psychedelic Rock zuordnen, enthält aber auch Einflüsse aus dem Blues und der klassischen Musik. In ihrer Kombination wirken die Stücke geschlossen, ohne monoton zu werden. The Doors ist ein Album, das seinen Platz in der Musikgeschichte durch seine klare musikalische Linie und die besondere Atmosphäre behauptet. Es zeigt eine Band, die bereits zu Beginn eine eigene Sprache gefunden hat und stilistisch sicher auftritt.

The organ solo in Light My Fire could be 10 minutes long and still it wouldn't get boring. That alone merits 5 stars.

Very very good

5.0/5.0: Iconic

Classic

chyba najlepszy 60s album peak

Jim Morrison is a self absorbed jackass, but damn if this isn’t a great record. Ray Manzarek is so good.

I dislike this pretentious navel-gazer. But damn, this a good record. Moody, dark and polished

One of the excellent debut records in my opinion.

# Album Name: The Doors # Artist: The Doors # Rating: 5/5 # Comments: Break on through. Amazing opener. Nuff said. Followed up by the excellent soul kitchen. Love the organs and guitar on that track. Jims vocals are great on this album. nothing is stopping him. This is a fucking album which is on fire. Love it. Its the real deal. The end is an absolutely wicked way to finish this album # Top Tunes: Every. single. track. # Would I listen to it again? Yes

Yes yes yes lsd and blues rock. The daek version of the beach boys!

great. Full of classic hits
