The Doors

This album is strange and sexy rock and roll. I'm instantly transported to the 60s while listening, but I wasn't born until the late 70s, so I have nostalgia for a time I never experienced. It's wild.

Great album but not as perfect as I think it is when im not actively listening to it. Still close to 5 but not there

Not my usual genre, but I enjoyed listening nonetheless. Very vibey.

Good

I don't feel like I care much for later The Doors anymore, but I've still got a soft spot for this album, particularly "The Crystal Ship." Just an absolute banger of a rock album.

Definitely late 1960s. Heavy twang and drum dependence plus spoken stanzas

I know you’re supposed to like get a super legendary album every day on this site, but this is actually the first time I’ve gotten 3 absolutely insane albums in a row. So that’s fun! And this album’s awesome. Just some really great psych rock with some occasional insanity, most notably the closing track which DOES blow everything else out of the water. “Light my fire,” while a little overrated, does indeed astound, as does “Break On Through (To The Other Side).” The rest of the album is really awesome, very easygoing psych rock, which I enjoy and appreciate greatly. Overall an enjoyable affair, and an appreciated one for today’s listening experience. 9.1/10

I really like this style of music and I feel this was a very good album. Sometimes it felt like I was listening to one long song but it was multiple short one that felt very similar which threw me off a little.

Strong album, I can definitely hear why it was such a success when it first came out. Light my fire is so iconic.

When they aren’t trying that hard it’s fun, sexy and raw…could remind me of the stooges. When they try hard it sounds as annoying as Jim Morrison looks.

This is the album that I will play at the end of the world. Favourite Songs: Break On Through (To the Other Side), Alabama Song (Whisky Bar), Light My Fire, End of the Night, The End. Least Favourite Songs: NO.

Enjoyed. 3.7

3.5

Not a huge fan of The Doors, but I enjoy this. Some classics on here, and the rest isn't bad at all.

From an album I never heard of yesterday to one I'm quite familiar with today. I got this on CD back in high school. I revisit a handful of these songs a decent amount, but haven't listened to the album straight through in a while. I've always enjoyed the blend of soul, jazz, and psychedelic that the Doors had in their brand of classic rock. And that organ! There are definite highlights here -- Break on Through, Light My Fire, and The End (which is my favorite track instrumentally though the ridiculous lyrics take away from the overall experience for me) -- but each song plays it's own role in propelling the album forward and nothing feels like filler. Definitely somewhere in the 4/4.5 range for me.

Another where I understand why people enjoy the band, but Doors aren’t my thing. That being the case, they have a distinct sound and I can hear their influence on emo music and 80s (at least to my ears). like the opening number, “Break on Through.” Enjoyed “Alabama Song” and “Back Door Man,” which I’ve never heard.

Sometimes it's hard to believe an album is someone's debut because of how perfect it shows who the band/artist is

Really tough to rate. There is some insanely good songs here. The first two tracks, light my fire, the end I guess.. Feel like they belong on a 5 album for sure. But then it all feels a bit disjointed to me and it's definitely not as comfortable a listen through as I feel it should be. Would be a 5 for me if the through line /continuity feel was just a little bit stronger

Really enjoyable album. Iconic

Extravagant, indulgent, self serious, ferocious, brilliant

Blues meets psychedelic pop and it works. Morrison was a weird dude. The later performances went off the rails but this album is pretty great.

Decent

idk it wasn't bad it just sounded kind of antiquated in a way that i didn't enjoy, it wasn't bad it just didn't stand out to me and i don't think i would go out of my way to listen again

lwk ass

Loved it

Cooles Album mit den bekannten Klassikern

The End als Abschluss ein Banger. Der Rest auch ziemlich gut. Find die Stimme von Jim Morrison gut.

Ok, das Album öffnet mit nem Mega Banger, leider qualität nicht pausenlos haltbar, aber sehr cooles Album, freut mich es gehört zu haben.

Si hay bandas cuyo sonido es especialmente particular y se identifican de lejos, una de ellas es The Doors. En parte por la característica voz y carisma de Jim Morrison y otra por el órgano de Jay Manzareck. Un excelente álbum para debutar en la escena del rock psicodélico de los 60. De aquí salen temas ya míticos en la historia del rock como "Break On Through" o "Light My Fire", sin olvidar esa "Alabama Song" y la descomunal y desconcertante "The End". Escuchamos a un JIm Morrison en estado de gracia, si cerramos los ojos lo podemos ver transmitiendo toda su energía sobre un escenario. El hombre lo daba todo.

bomb ale nie przesluchalam do konca sorki

no sabia q era album debut!! no pasa desapercibido, me gusta, es interesante. psicodelico muchas favs

BREAKOUT. Crazy debut.

The first Doors album. What an introduction to one of the best groups to come out of LA in the late 1960's. Every album the Doors released following their initial effort was an improvement on a perfect debut.

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS ON THIS SITE!

Classic album that is absolutely deserving to be on this list. I don't consider myself to be a hardcore Doors fan, but it's hard to deny the impact that their music has had on the world. And this album makes a for a great workday soundtrack. I'm glad that I finally sat down and listened to this one cover to cover.

I'm surprised at how much I liked this and realize that I need to listen to The Doors more often. Sure enough there are some deep tracks on the 2nd half that I'm totally unfamiliar with and almost all are a pleasant surprise. And of course there are a few completely essential tracks on here. Very good audio quality.

Nothing else like it in '67. Nothing like it still -

Weird the drums are panned hard left. Very atmospheric album. Whiskey Bar was not for me

😮‍💨😮‍💨

didnt catch my attention at all...it sounds like everything from the late 60s

Absolutely stunning album.

Classic. Very powerful.

I think I liked Morrison Hotel more but this was still fire. The Doors have taken me some time to come around to but I get the hype now.

The album that defined the psych rock sound…but certainly not a perfect album by any means. What was it with these British bands poorly doing American country??

Carnival music sung by a clown.

8/10 The Doors are an interesting band in that they almost have this quintessential 60s hippie rock sound, but it also has a slight edge of psychedelic darkness to it that became more prominent across their records. This debut record is probably their most poppy, but it still has that little twisted side that allows it to stand above more generic examples of the genre and have more of a lasting appeal, particularly when coupled with some really great hooks. In fact, this album is so stacked with songs that have timeless and engaging hooks that when we listened to this over family breakfast, Steph thought I'd put on a greatest hits rather than their debut album. They sure knew how to put a pop song together. That being said, while it's an really great record, for me it does have a few drawbacks to it. Firstly, there are times when it's a bit sloppy from a playing point of view, with slightly iffy timing and out of key notes scattered around here and there. While that does lend itself to the hippie vibe, it does get a little distracting in places. Also, they have a tendency to either be done with a song after two and a half minutes, or on the couple of occasions that they don't, dragging it on for possibly a little too long. Not that I don't like those songs, it just feels a bit all or nothing and could possibly have been a touch more satisfying had they met somewhere in the middle. Perhaps I'm nitpicking a little there. Apart from the above mentioned bits of playing, the band are generally great at building a solid vibe in each of the tracks, and that vibe does a great job of balancing the record and allowing Jim Morrison to do his thing. Interestingly, Morrison is actually quite restrained in his approach to vocals, leaving plenty of space for the band and rarely overdoing things, but also allowing for a good range of dynamic and intensity across his performances. His charisma and swagger are undeniable, even if his lyrical poetry is more moody sixth former than Dylan Thomas. But he sells it so well and I believe that he really believes in the art of what he's saying, even if I'm less convinced, but that's good enough for me. Break On Through (To The Other Side) - This has that very 60s hippie sound, but there's a twist if darkness to it too that gives it an interesting edge. It's the depth of the reverb and the slightly crazed delivery of the vocal from Jim Morrison that really do it. It's a classic track and holds up really well. Soul Kitchen - It's a slightly drifting and lazy verse that's full of that 60s hippy vibe again, before launching into something more intense for the chorus. The bass line is pretty good here and carries things along well, playing well against the rhythm of the organ. Another solid track. The Crystal Ship - Things remain more in that lazy, relaxed vibe from the verses of the previous track. There are some nice progressions in there and it has a cool attitude to it, but it's ultimately not the most interesting song. Twentieth Century Fox - Things pick back up again a little now with a return to the quintessential 60s hippie sound that makes it sound a bit like incidental music from and Austin Powers film. But it's got a great hook in the chorus. The playing, as with much of the record actually, is a little on the loose side, but it kind of works with the aesthetic. Another good song, but I always imagine it to be quicker than it actually is. Alabama Song (Whisky Bar) - Another classic now, and despite being a cover, it very much feels like it belongs to The Doors now. The switch in rhythmic emphasis and vibe between the verse and chorus is brilliant. It's a creepy little song in some ways, but that's delivered not only through the vocal but through the musical choices too, feeling a little like off kilter fairground music. Morrison gives it that side of menace through his delivery too, but it manages to do all that while also delivering quality hooks. Light My Fire - The Doors' most well known song? Possibly. The vibe is great, the organ and guitar solos are super cool, even if they do meander a tiny bit and aren't the cleanest performances, but everything gathers together to be more than the sum of its parts. There's some great drumming on this one too. But the key is that lead vocal, which is brilliantly delivered and has a fantastic hook. Back Door Man - This is a cover, but the band deliver it with such excellent swagger that the tone and delivery is all Doors. The organ line is great and again, they conjure up such a chilled and engaging vibe that it's hard not to groove along to it. Jim Morrison has just got an attitude and charisma that shines through on tracks like this. I Looked At You - The interweaving lines of the organ and guitar are great here during the verses and everything just hooks together for a fantastic chorus. They don't hang around on ideas for long though, do they? Great vibe, quality hooks and done in just a shade over two minutes. Great. End Of The Night - Back to something a little trippy and creepy. It's very evocative and the drifting nature of the tonal elements gives it an uncertainty that's really interesting. The crescendo of intensity is great and adds another level of weirdness and dynamic to the track. This is one that could possibly have worked even better in an extended version that had more time to ebb and flow, but it's solid nonetheless. Take It As It Comes - Another excellent chorus here. There's a good energy to this track but also some nice dynamic range too that allows that chorus to burst out of the speakers and really shine. And again, done in a flash. The End - When they decide to do a longer track, they do go for it, don't they? It's quite loose and meandering in places, with some of the playing feeling a tiny bit sloppy, but it all works into the vibe of slightly twisted and uncomfortable edginess. This has been noted as a pivotal piece of music for subsequent genres including goth, prog, psychedelic and acid rock. It's not really background music, but it's stuffed full of charisma and if you listen to this with focus, it can really grab you and press down on you in a very interesting way.

Incredible album no skips, some all time greats like break on through, soul kitchen, and light my fire and my favourite the last song in the end

слушал ахуеннооо

Making Mr. Agin proud iykyk. Very autumn! All the songs I like are ones that I would listen to around Halloween but probably not during the rest of the year. Favs: light my fire, end of the night, take it as it comes, the end

Not bad

Hit or miss for the first few tracks, but after that this really took off. I get the hype around this group and Morrison now.

I love the Doors. Miss me with the hate. Its sensual, its poetic, its a vibe. The organ is always such an uplifting aspect.

No es mi estilo y ninguna canción me llamó para nada la atención :(

Gran disco. Entretenido, todas las canciones están bien. Tampoco creo que sea una maravilla, eso sí The End es increíble.

Light My Fire is good. The End, while cringe, is a unique classic with some cool moments. Robby Krieger is a player. Band still meh overall.

Sonido viejo no mal pero no me encanto

during cooking with pa he tells me about his old apartment when they only listened to the doors all day /

A classic 60's album. I love the heavy use of organ and Jim Morrison voice. Mostly good stuff. No filler. "Light my Fire" is such a great song. This song is were the organ shines the most on this album.

3.5 stars pretty good album. Only new light my fire and break on through previously. But really enjoyed The Crystal Ship and Twentieth Century Fox. Don't know how I didn't notice before but Morrison kinda sings like the guy from cake where he isn't really signing, moreso talking in rhythm.

I TRULY ENJOYED THIS I WASNT EXPECTING TO LIKE IT AT ALL

Discazo. 10/10. Es simplemente un MUST en tu vida, aunque sea una sola vez. Pensar que lo hicieron en 1967!! y suena increíble. Ellos son geniales, cómo tocan, cómo imaginaron y ejecutaron todas las uniones. No hay mucho más para decir, simplemente escuchalo.

increible álbum, estilo parecido a lo Beatles, lógico por la época, pero con sus diferencias. no es repetitivo ni molestan las canciones largas, gran guitarra y bajo.

I listened to this album a lot when I was a kid for some reason. Still love it.

Love the Doors!

Man, The Doors has such a unique sound (cue keyboard).

Life is short, give out 5's. This thing is fire, totally hit the vibe.

Fabuloso, conozco la gran banda que fue, me gustan muchas de sus canciones, me sumerge en un mundo psicodélico. Vinilo a comprar

Kinda bored me.

Classic Album, everybody should listen to it but due to the age, the dynamic range is so so..

When I was younger, I thought this was perhaps the best opening line to any album. I even enjoyed the Oliver Stone movie. Now I'm faintly embarrassed by this. Alabama Song was always unwelcome.

this is the end, beautiful friend

Honestly a really good album although this isn't the type of music I usually listen to, I quite enjoyed several songs on this track.

bit too slow for me, just not my taste

Pretty chill album, the songs were very nice just leaving in the background. There were a couple of songs that were really popular and then the rest just sounded like the usual Doors songs, so it was overall pretty great-sounding throughout.

It’s the doors buddy

It's aged a bit for sure and online communities have made the prospect of liking The Doors a bit cringe, but this is an historic album.

Classic. Loved getting the deep cuts but I didn’t care for a few songs.

7/10

There were vibes def a like dancing/doing hw if I could i would prob give 3.8

Iconic with good reason. Several deeply influential songs in quick succession, with the tracks bulking out the album complimenting their more successful siblings well. Admittedly The End was a touch gratuitously long (that is to say, blessed with a 10 minute run it struggles to do much with) and Light My Fire being somewhat shrill through my headphones (a personal limitation), but that only hurts the album slightly. Good show lads.

*Love they keyboards and the hit songs are incredible *Gets a little too proggy at times

It's 4.5 but not 5

Tätä on tullut kuunneltua jo kasarilla, kun luin Jimin ”No one gets here out alive” elämäkerran. Diggasin bändistä tuolloin paljon, nykyään tulee aika vähän kuunneltua. Tämä on hyvä esikoisalbumi, paljon hyviä biisejä.

What an opening track for your band. That and Light my Fire are the standouts here. I think this is and excellent, consistent debut album but doesn’t quite get to a 5 for me. You can really hear the Geese influence on some of these songs.

Great classic rock album and a debut no less. Not a bad song here and maybe nothing quite as strange as The End anywhere.

Practically a doors greatest hits album. Lots of fun until “the end” which foreshadows the sinister twist the summer of love would take in 1968 and 1969. My favorites are “Soul Kitchen”, “Back Door Man” and the jam in “light my fire”. I’m glad they put the long version on the album.

Psychedelic rock perfection. Break on through is a legendary album opener, Light my Fire is an experience everytime I listen to it. The organ and Jim’s voice gives me life

Had such a great time listening to this. ~"You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans I eat more chicken than any man ever seen."~ ICONIC

Muy bueno! En el medio tiene un bache pero muy agradable de escuchar

Chill, all songs sound kinda the same. Not really my vibe

Pretty strong album overall - fizzles out towards but first 2/3 you can’t skip. Gets a bit weird on Alabama but giving it a 3.3

I came into this album expecting to give it a 1 or 2 because I was really only familiar with Light My Fire, which I am not a fan of. Some of the bluesier tracks I found quite enjoyable.

This is nearly everything I know about the Doors, and it's all from their first album. It's a remarkable accomplishment.

Little slow and felt old.

More notable songs on this Doors album but not something I would personally go back to.

Legendary tracks separated by some drunken blues filler…I think these guys might do drugs…

Great record, not much more to say than that

Great!

Good reminder of how amazing oldies is.

wow i am so happy i was introduced to this album. that was really good and better than i was expecting.

Better than the Morrison hotel for sure. The hits are great if not a little extended, the filler is usually good except for crystal ship, that’s a bad song. The end really does not do much for me, I get it and I get why people like it as an art piece but it’s just a little too much. Rays playing on this album is insane and is the clear highlight for me, and Robby’s guitar work is great when it’s not just simple blues rock boring. Jim Morrison is fine, I think I hate the culture around doors fans and it really ruins the whole Morrison image for me. This boils down to, break on through is great, light my fire is good but too long, I don’t like the end that much, the rest is fine.

More like 5 stars by the 5 stars

4.5 great tunes, I love The End.

so effing peak. so iconic. yes. 60s rock was smth else

I've got really fond memories of being hazed to this music for hours and hours (and hours) on end. Good stuff! Best Song: The End Rating: 9.0/10 Stars: 5

This is absolutely amazing

4.5 stars or higher

Some classic songs and some decent songs as well. Morrison’s voice is iconic no matter what I think of the lyrics or his general personality. Extremely influential as well. All of those factors pushes it to 4 stars even though I’m not their biggest fan. Rating: 4.0

Tok ikke lange tida før The Doors dukka opp igjen, her med deres debutalbum. Et album jeg har lyttet til før. Forholdsvis bra psych-rock, men ikke noe jeg returnerer til med hyppighet. Top 3: Take It As It Comes, Light My Fire, The Crystal Ship

Not as put together as their later albums but The Doors are undeniable.

Classic

Skeptical on how good it would be but was amazed and pretty mush every song was amazing

soul kitchen is a vibe i fw the psychedelic rock

Bettter than expected, with some songs being actually enjoyable. The theatralics ruin it for me, though.

One of my favourite 60s albums. Break on Through - Light my Fire - The End. Great edgy production. Note to Alabama Song - although I prefer Bowie’s rendition. Goes west lyrically on occasion - but no denying the genius of Morrison

This album is easily one of the best albums of all time, if not the best.

I knew Break on Through (To the Other Side), Light My Fire, and The End. I liked the song Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar). I didn’t like how long some of the songs were, but they were the songs I knew which made it not as bad. I enjoyed this.

(94/100)

Bellino, è il mio primo album che era uscito quindi ha un posticino speciale

All timer!

Listened to songs from this but have never heard the whole album. I love the Doors! Glad I finally listened to a complete album of theirs. The vibes on this album are timeless.

Kinda disappointed by this album. Thought i'd like it more.

Great album!

Probably would give 3.5 if I could do halves but enjoyed more than the 3 star ones so giving it 4.

Awesome album

Such a classic album. It’s been a while since I’ve had an album where every single song slapped, but this was one of those rare occasions. It’s no wonder why this album gets so much praise. It absolutely deserves it.

Perfect and has gotten better over time

Listens: 3 or 4 Standout Tracks: Break on Through (To The Other Side), The Crystal Ship, Alabama Song (Whisky Bar), Light My Fire This is an album I have certainly listened to and am familiar with, but it has definitely been a long time since I thought about the Doors. The front half of this album is full of bangers, but then it sort of fizzles a bit until The End. I love Alabama Song - It's just so unique and twangy, but in a creepy and haunting sort of way. Something about the song reminds me of a carousel, but like a really fucked up, "Help me, I can't get off this ride!" carousel - dizzying-like, urgent, concerning. Something about finding the next little girl doesn't quite sit right either. Anyways, this is a tight album with real face-melters. High marks all around.

Excellent album que je connaissais déjà! Pas mal heureuse d’avoir enfin un album qui a de l’allure!

Enfin un retour à qqch d'un peu plus classique. Je suis ici pour découvrir avant tout, mais c'était un moment judicieux dans notre parcours pour un petit safe space confortable et douillet. La voix de Jim Morrison est toujours aussi unique et enveloppante. Au risque de me faire lancer des PIERRES, le clavier/orgue est lowkey gossant. En même temps, c'est un peu leur son signature, so gotta make do. Chanson préférée : The End Mention honorable : End of the Night. Je pense pas que je connaissais, j'aime le coté trippy (et, bonus, M. Ray Manzarek se fait plus discret avec son instrument du démon).

Jim Morrison is horny. Ray Manzarek is playing the keyboard as if his life depends on it. and me? i'm vibing. hard. chansons préférées : Soul Kitchen, The End, Take It As It Comes mention honorable : le fait que The End soit la première toune a avoir été décrite comme étant du "gothic rock"… une décennie avant l’émergence du post-punk. talk about Jim Morrison being a proto-goth king #gothfather

I feel like I can recognize how influential this may have been in the 60s. The organ is the most interesting part of the album. But it’s missing some sauce and the album itself is kinda just.. fine. The End was kinda wild lol

Odlican prvi album meni jednog od najdrazih bendova. 43 minute albuma prodju za taj tren. Lijepa, uhu ugodna glazba s oblljem hitova poput Break On Through, Light My Fire, The End.... Favoriti s albuma - The Crystal Ship, Back Door Man, End of the Night.

The Doors…another band where I could take all of their songs I love and make one great album out of it, but I can’t say that I particularly enjoy any of their albums from start to finish. Listening to this, I feel like I’m halfway between being depressed or dancing at a swinging 60’s party. Interesting album for sure. But not something I want to constantly revisit. Favorite tracks are Light My Fire (love all the covers of this song too), Soul Kitchen, and Whiskey Bar because it’s fun. Really like a 2.75 of an album for me. But I’m gonna give it a 3

Very strong opening track however I feel the quality dropped as it went on, especially “The End”. For me, it drags on far too long and is too repetitive for a song that’s 10 minutes long.

I hesitated to give this 5 stars. Four of my last five albums were 5 stars, and I feel like I might be overrating them. But this is such a unique piece of art, like nothing else on the radio now or even when it came out in the late sixties/early seventies. Jim Morrison was a revolutionary artist: he lived and died for his work. I have to respect him and his band for their contribution. 5 stars

What an album, still feels so modern and experimental but also so fun to listen to. Love the doors fr

fuck it man baroque organ bossa nova drums let's make one of the best rock albums of all time idk

i didn't know the doors were so freaky

Shockingly inventive at every turn. Light My Fire and The End are this album's crown jewels, meandering and amorphous as they are. The plush psychedelia is compelling without ever yielding to the rock cliches of the 60s.

You could never go wrong with The Doors

I see how this is influential to psych and British rock but I’m genuinely not sure I get it. If there wasn’t the myth of Jim Morrison I wonder what would be different.

The Doors have such a distinctive sound, so I was really looking forward to listening to their self titled debut album today. The big question going into it was whether I would prefer it to L.A. Woman, which I have always thought was a superb record. From the opening moments it is clear why this album is so highly regarded. Every track carries that unmistakable Doors atmosphere. Ray Manzarek’s keyboard work, Robbie Krieger’s guitar and Jim Morrison’s voice combine to create something dark, hypnotic and completely unique. Even decades later it still sounds fresh and powerful. What really stands out is how strong the songwriting is for a debut. There is not a weak track here, and several songs have gone on to become absolute classics. Break On Through and Light My Fire are iconic for a reason, and the album flows brilliantly from start to finish. Trying to decide whether this or L.A. Woman is better is genuinely difficult. Both albums capture the band at their best in slightly different ways, and it is probably impossible to separate them. What is clear is that this is an exceptional debut. Favourite song: Break On Through and Light My Fire Least favourite song: None. Every track earns its place Album artwork: Iconic cover that perfectly represents the band’s image

The Doors are fine I guess, but the only moment that really strikes me as special is Light My Fire

Great album, some real classics on this one. Have listened to it before. Really enjoyed it.

Feel like i am in a wood paneled room and its dark outside and there is a lamp in the corner that has a deep yellow hue and the carpet is shag and these guys are playing right in front of me and also there is a majestic orgen in the other corner.

I enjoyed some songs but others were meh

The generator previously gave me "Morrison Hotel", my first exposure to The Doors. Somehow, even though of course the music is unique and steeped in psychedelia, this album came across as more accessible than "Morrison Hotel" somehow. This was of course an interesting listen, with noteworthy songs for me being "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)"; "Light My Fire"; and "The End". However, the album didn't particularly resonate with me at this point in time. I do think about the style of these songs sometimes though, and they're just so different than what I usually listen to.

The sound of the Doors, to me at least, is quite singular in pop music. The driving sound of Manzarek's classic 60's electric organ, Krieger's oft-overlooked fantastic guitar playing and jamming, Densmore, also overlooked, great drumming. The music is great with this band, but also seems fixed in that era. And then of course the iconoclast that is Morrison, a great singer in his own right and a fine lyricist, perhaps a bit too self serious. Would have been interesting what time would have brought to this band had they not halted when they did. This album itself has some of their best, from Break on thru, to their classic Light my fire, and of course The End, played famously in Apocalypse Now (one of my favorite movies). I feel like this band (and Morrison) has had a big influence on rock-n-roll style and life. 4.

I put off listening to this all day because I hated the last doors album so much. This one was better, the radio hits are good. Still think strange days is my favorite doors record and in general I think I could kinda take or leave The Doors....I think....sorryyy ...😬😬😬

fine, need better

An amazing debut album. Not familiar with The Doors besides from a couple of the hits (and Jim Morrisons antics). This was brilliant from start to finish.

This album is really front heavy. The first seven songs are all bangers. Soul Kitchen has always been the standout for me. The other songs are fine and I don't mind The End as much as many other people seem to - but those last four songs definitely take it down a notch for me,

I totally understand not liking The Doors. But I love The Doors. The Doors by The Doors is good. 5/5

Yep this was a good one. Didn’t realise most of the Doors songs I knew came from the same album, or that it was a debut effort. A couple of over-indulgent moments and the organ mix could be turned down a bit on a few songs, rated 4.5 but rounded up for cultural significance and general coolness.

Great album, so much more acid organ than I remembered…

I'm over The Doors.

Évidemment

The Doors – The Doors (1967) On Day 78, The Doors finally brought back the soul and concept I’ve been looking for. The chemistry between the band is incredible, and it’s showcased perfectly during the long, experimental journey of "The End," which feels like a masterclass in musical tension. The blend of rock and blues throughout the LP is great, and I loved the jazz-infused Bossa Nova vibe of the title track. High-energy standouts like "Break On Through" and "Twentieth Century Fox" kept the iron hot, while the atmospheric depth of the longer tracks provided a real cinematic experience. This is great stuff, a definitive 4/5 with a strong possibility of growing into a 5 later on. Edit: Yeah, Yeah it grew into me. Best Pyschadelic album so far, Morrison just take a Bow.

Album 130. The Doors (https://open.spotify.com/album/1jWmEhn3ggaL6isoyLfwBn?si=gSlNyXyURFaTmF4sANPK1g) — The Doors (1967) Wtf, why is it the 3rd golden album in a row? Oh, how I love this kind of rock. I liked almost the whole album. 59 years later it's still awesome. Every song of this album is a high quality song. 5/5 Liked: — Break on Through — Soul Kitchen — The Crystal Ship — Twentieth Century Fox — Alabama song (Whisky Bar) — I Looked at You — End of the Night — Take It as It Comes — Light My Fire — The End

not a huge fan. A little boring. Don't love his voice. Guitar is good though.

Not bad; feels like I listened to it before.

Fire Joe Morgan/Newman track by track review--because this album is a 5 y'all (although this album is definitely behind 'Waiting for the Sun' and 'Morrison Hotel' for me and really close with 'Strange Days.' Main point: I love the Doors). "Break On Through (To the Other Side):" Fantastic start to kick off the album with energy and Morrison's great voice. "Soul Kitchen:" Nice little ditty and a good place to go for soul food. "The Crystal Ship:" One of my fave deeper cuts on the album, this mournful, haunting song shows off the band's range and psychedelia. "Twentieth Century Fox:" A fun walkup song for debutantes with an ear wormy chorus. "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar):" A baller drinking singalong derived from cabaret. This is weirdly wonderful. "Light My Fire:" The ubiquitous cliche hit that showcases Manzarek's expert organ playing. "Back Door Man:" Slower cover song showing the histrionics of Morrison. "I Looked at You:" Quick bit that emphasizes the organ hooks of the band (Ray Manzarek is one of the most underappreciated musicians of classic rock). "End of the Night:" A tune similar to "Crystal Ship," with haunting melodies. Good one to fall asleep to (or pass out in a Paris bathtub). "Take It as It Comes:" Solid life advice in an earworm form. "The End:" The finale song that epitomizes the Doors: darkness, instrumentation, and atmosphere. This took a while to grow on me but damn it's good.

Kinda fun. Imagine was funny and better than Gal Gadot.

--Break On Through (To the Other Side)...freaky keyboards --Soul Kitchen...summer of love shit. it's groovy --The Crystal Ship... --____-- --Twentieth Century Fox...standard rocker --Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)...TIL this is a Bertolt Brecht joint. makes sense --Light My Fire...Ed Sullivan thought this was too racy. good lord people were lame in the 60s. still are, I guess. too long but it builds well --Back Door Man...the lack of bass in the Doors never really bothered me but this could definitely use some --I Looked at You...fun rocker --End of the Night...not my thing but they're trying something different --Take It as It Comes...oooh we got a calypso thing going --The End...true art? total bullshit? who's to say?

Perfect album for a rainy day

i wasn't sure what this album would be but im not disappointed. the shorter songs are great but the two long ones are a bit too long for me fav song: Twentieth Century Fox

Pretty good. Very 60s sounding.

>Produced by a Rothchild >Lead singer dies suspiciously Checkmate liberals

Iconic album. Such a great debut and some absolutely awesome tracks.

Another incredible album by the Doors, this time its their first album. Any of their albums I can listen to all the way through over and over again.

Morrison didn’t sing like a performer. He sounded like a man reporting back from the other side of our collective dreams. Most bands play songs. The Doors played the place where fear, beauty and madness meet. The Doors are a pillar in the fortress of music.

Weird vibes

Favorite songs: Break On Through, Soul Kitchen, Light My Fire, The End

Heard a couple of songs off this record, lot of memories in the car with my dad with the big hits. Break on Through and Soul Kitchen are great. Good album especially for a debut. I was never a huge doors fan, but would recommend for people looking for this style and sound. 7.5/10

Cool album, but doors has a better records

My wife and I went to Paris on our honeymoon. My wife wanted to take in one of the most romantic cities on earth. I wanted to visit Jim Morrison’s grave. I found it in the maze of Pere Lachaise by following the sound of a very drunk Frenchman singing Doors songs. It seemed fitting.

7/10. Fav Track - Break on Through Some top notch dad rock

I really liked this one!

The Gypsies had no homes, and the Doors had no bass. Don't let that scare you, let that free you. Rounding up because The End and particularly its placement in Apocalypse Now is pretty cool.

Pretty good album, with a few classic tracks. Jim Morrisons was a horny dude in addition to being pretty far out there (man). I'm not a fan of the hard-panned instruments in my left and right ear while listening on headphones, although I guess that's a relic of the time this was recorded.

Sadly last Doors album on this list for me! And perhaps their debut is also their best one, easy 5 stars from me for sure without too much thought, just check that legendary tracklist

Very groovy and obviously classic. However I don't really get all the hype. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad! but I am so tired of hearing that organ.

They can only influence me to this extent (which means hardly at all). For some reason, I dislike Morrison's lyrics, and I dislike his singing style even more. The only thing I appreciate is keyboard.

very strong debut album, lots of bangers on here. great launchpad for the rest of the doors' discography- rating just once again boils down to the fact that a lot of these songs aren't what i'd listen to on the regular. "the end" was my favorite

Listened to about half of it. Decent music, but didn't really suit my taste.

Great album, loved the rock n roll and especially the organ

music is love

The Doors’ debut is iconic even if I think only three songs really shine on this record. That’s not to say that every other song is bad or weak, but I don’t think the other material has as much of a stronghold as Break On Through, Light My Fire and The End. The latter two take up a good chunk of the 43 minutes and they fuckin’ bang to the bank. I guess if I had another song to note: Backdoor Man’s a nice cover. The Crystal Ship and End Of The Night provide that late-night spooky vibe. And I sure think 20th Century Fox and Alabama Song provide some quirk. None of those songs have a thing on the big three though. I would give it a 9 just for those songs being on here, but I must grade it considering how I feel on the full album. It’s cool, it’s influential, it’s an 8.5 rounded down (8/10, 4/5 on this scale…but let’s be honest, The End is a 10/10)

Good album. Not quite my style. Clearly influential.

classic band classic album! a bit repetitive perhaps but still one of the greats for a reason

It's the Doors...it's great!

Solid album, I'd give 3.5 stars if I could.

If I was this horny, I probably would have died at 27 too. Break on Through, Light My Fire, and Back Door Man are such heaters. Great album.

for every great song on here, there’s one I’d be fine never hearing again. those organ sounds really elevate those great tracks to another level.

Never really dug Jim Morrison's boring singing style and thought The Doors were overrated. When he gets his rock voice going I enjoy it a lot more. I still think they are overrated. Just a little less so now.

Logan said in his review of The Band I think that he doesn’t really like the organ sound in rock music, but it gets me going. The band does great work here, but I think they get even better with time, peaking at the end with all of L.A. Woman. Jim Morrison obviously has this incredible, hypnotizing presence. I dig this, but there are a couple of more minor tracks.

I know it's become somewhat fashionable to hate The Doors and Morrison, but I don't care. I love this band and I love this album. Incredible that it was their debut. "I Looked at You" may be the only weak spot?

Break on thru, light my fire, back door man, this is the end …Rock n Roll at its finest. Not my cup of tea anymore but a nostalgic listen no doubt!

Top, curti bue

A little silly and self-serious, but there’s no denying they were onto something.

prima album

Morrison's crooning and Manzarek's organ lead the way through a classic set. It is one of the greatest debut albums of all time. This is just a great record.

Joya!

Some pretty good songs on this one but I felt it was just lacking something.

SORRY GUYS I LIKE THE DOORS :(

Classic stuff

Favourite Songs: Break On Through (To The Other Side)

Standard and boring rock. Vocals are a little annoying.

Worst Doors album, and I've listened to all of the ones on this list so far. Still good though because it's The Doors.

A couple classics on this one on Break on Through, Light My Fire and The End. Falls just short of a 5 for me as outside of those I can't see myself listening to the whole album on the whole again, but those 3 prop it up quite a bit.

Bonne musique d'arrière plan mais sans plus. Déçu de la monotonie de l'album. Je n'ai pas accroché. Quelques musiques sortent du lot mais ne sauve pas l'album. Note : 2 À réécouter : Non

Solid album. Got a little weird at times.

Feels like an absolutely generational album. I didn't know that Break On Through and Light My Fire were on the same album. The riffs on the organ are unlike any other sound I have ever heard. And it's from 1967! Really groundbreaking stuff here from The Doors.

horny boomer slop

super distinct sound, I got more into it the longer the album went on. still I can't imagine a time of day or mood I'd be in to throw this on

its ok

A must listen! Great album, Light My Fire and The End are brilliant!

A-tier album

This might have been wine once but it's aged to the point it's vinegar

no puedo opinar de esto los teclados son impresionantes y jim morrison siempre presente con su voz.

Poetic, and horny

bbys first psych record. Da jeg først begynte å høre på den, likte jeg den aldri så godt som jeg latet som, med unntak av enkelte spor: særdeles The End of The Crystal Ship. Litt ironisk at den blir bedre med alderen. Light My Fire går hardere for hver gang jeg hører den. Jeg trodde jeg var en gitar-fyr, men faller tydeligvis oftere for jazz-piano og rocke-orgel. The End over åpningsscenen av Apocalypse Now! er en identitet jeg nekter å gi slipp på.

Sikkert sagt dette flere ganger nå, men et av tidenes åpningsspor? Ja! The Doors låter like kult i dag som det gjorde da det kom (ikke "Break'n a Sweat"). Med unntak av kanskje "End of the Night" og "Take It As It Comes" kunne plateselskapet bare gitt ut hele debutalbumet som Best of the Doors. Selv de to låtene er ikke dårlig. Dette er nok den eneste Doors-platsa som er så bangertett. Morrison og Manzarek tar enormt mye plass på plata, berettiget, men denne gangen prøvde jeg å vie mer oppmerksomhet til Krieger og Densmore. Orgelet og gitaren er ofte i tospann, såpass innflettet at man av og til kan bli lurt til å tro at gitar er orgel eller orgel er gitar. På ganske mange av låtene gjør de til og med et poeng ut av dette ved å mikse gitar og orgel i samme kanal. Men ja, en absolutt klassiker og uten tvil en av de beste debutplatene gjennom tidene.

Jeg kan anerkjenne at The Doors var hipt og kult og unikt når det kom ut. Men jeg kan ikke noe for at jeg syns det er ganske flaut i dag.

Fun mysterious vibes. Reminds me of some of The Rolling Stones songs.

Problems: 1) very weak and often rather silly lyrics, but some stick in the head none-the-less, 2) condescending to women, perhaps paedophilic in parts, 3) overwhelming keyboards throughout, often not to the best effect, 4) extremely repetitious musically and lyrically 5) rather stuck in a drugs/sex/death world vision as well. However, if you suspend your disbelief and wade into it, you just might find your own door out of it.

Best Track - "Light My Fire"

Amo

Mucho instrumental y me suena muy similar toda la atmósfera de álbum, pero algunas canciones me gustarían, lo puedo escuchar pero no elegiría escucharlo

A ésto se escucho mi infancia (:

Instant classic, timeless fabulous songs, redefining sound.

Great album, love the chill vibes

Already heard.

Solid debut album. Most songs are great

Twas fine

Two albums from The Doors in two weeks? Love it. Not as good as Morrison Hotel IMO, but it's still got Break on Through and Light My Fire. The End is hilariously long but at least they made it the last song.

Me siento en un western. Percusión es buena y cambios de tiempo son divertidos. Soul kitchen la conocia, the end creo que no y me gustó. Las otras no las distingo. Son largas.

conciso, estable, un poco repetitivo

they open then they close, genius

Some bangers, more diverse than I thought, not a huge synth jam guy but good stuff.

Love the rasp in the vocals for this opening track. Aggressive fry especially for the time this album was released. Quick bitesized track with fun synth leaves you wanting more from the rest of the record. Soul Kitchen immediately gives you exactly what the first track left you waiting for, prominent synth with a staccatoed bluesy guitar riff following along on top. Energetic chorus brings in the same push in the vocals as the first track but with a bit less fry and a bit more control. Definitely a hint of rasp coming through on the first syllable or two. Laidback and simple blues inspired riff. Sloppily played and unclean high notes give it a bit more character. Compared to the opening track this one lasts for an eternity. And that’s not a bad thing. Major slowdown with The Crystal Ship. Potentially feels like too dramatic a decrease in tempo so early in the album after those two very energetic openers. Dramatic instrumental piano makes up for the absence of guitar. Psychedelic lyrics make this track feel a little dreamy, easy to get lost listening to it. Smooth blues guitar licks return immediately with Twentieth Century Fox. DRAMATIC entry of bass in the chorus is really entertaining, jarring in the best way. I literally made a face. Guitar is really being tied in well with the synth in this album, they almost blend, specifically around the end of the solo in this song. I’m not a huge fan of synth but this album is making it work. Alabama Song starts with an immediately whimsical riff that gets even more whimsical when it introduces some instrument that I couldn’t even name, not sure if it’s just synth being played quickly or if they’ve literally pulled out a triangle for this track. Lyrics are silly. Weakest on the album so far, just feels a little too silly to be a serious listen. Light My Fire continues the whimsical synth of the previous track in its intro. Hailed as one of the best tracks on the album I’d maybe be more likely to agree if the synth didn’t sound so much like I was watching the last act of a circus. Great chorus vocally, but definitely felt a little let down by the silliness of the synth. But if quirky is what they’re going for they’ve done it. Maybe not well, but they’ve done it. Jesus I’m only halfway through? Zoned out thinking this was the outro. Nice little sliding guitar solo woke me back up. For a guitar solo of this length I’m not sure how keen I am on the tone? It feels somehow rushed, but not technical, and slow, but not soulful, at the same time? Really don’t think there was enough happening in this track to warrant a 7 minute playtime. The screams in the intro to Back Door Man immediately picked me back up after the disappointment of the last track. Sounds like they’ve ditched the whimsical synth in favour of something more mature sounding backed up with some aggressive sounding muted guitar. This feels like a properly soulful guitar solo. It’s slow, it’s not overly technical, there’s beautiful mellow tone, the lead tracks so well over the rhythm section. I really really enjoyed that one. It’s short enough to leave you wanting a lot more but not so short you feel like you’ve missed out. GREAT lead walkdown in the outro. LOVED this track, one of my favourites. Real beach/island vibes coming in with I Looked At You. The descending progression in the pre chorus followed by the harsh rasp in the chorus is such a fun contrast. Lyrics are lighthearted and remind me something of a dapper dan band for some reason. This is fun track, I like it. End of The Night starts off immediately with discordant notes. Gives it a much darker feel, especially when followed by much more mellow and much more drawn out vocals. Return of that dreamy sound introduced in the The Crystal Ship. Sad guitar solo. An almost underwater feel to this track, maybe because of the flanger coming through on the guitar’s tone. Take It as It Comes carries on a similar feel to the previous track, definitely feels like a follow-on, albeit it at a higher tempo. Again, circus-like synth. Used a bit better here I feel, almost feel like it picks up tempo throughout its melody, kind of makes things a bit tense. In for a long outro to this album with a 12-minute track, aptly named with the on-the-nose title “The End”. Prominent snare gives this track an almost snake-like feel if that makes sense. It’s slinking. Even more so with the use of that rattle. Beautiful Arabic sounding guitar in the lead. Really wish I could remember the term for that scale but it’s out of my head right now. It’s so subtle in the background too. This track really lets the drums take prominence. Again just an extremely psychedelic dreamy song. Look at that, there’s the line “ride the snake, the snake is long”. Clearly they were intentional with that snake-like feel in the intro. Aggressive and nonsensical vocals and shouting in the outro. I actually really like this from the vocalist. It’s fun and gives a lot of energy to an otherwise lethargic (I don’t mean this in a bad way) song. Longest review yet? I’m on a plane. Lots of time on my hands. This is also overall just a phenomenal album with enough variety while sticking to a central theme that there’s a lot to talk about. Shining star of this album is probably Soul Kitchen while Alabama Song or Light my Fire were potentially some of the weaker tracks for me personally. Loved the album as a whole, first 4 star.

Meh

Easiest 5 in my life.

just that rock sound i don't like

240823 14:48 4

Hard to hear this with fresh ears, but Break on Through is still an incredible first salvo. And then we’re right into the blues rock and what sounds like a bar band doing its set, including Light My Fire, which I can take or leave for the most part. The End eventually made for a great film soundtrack, but I’ve always found its album execution tedious. I don’t dislike Morrison and co. as much as my peers, when they’re on, they’re a timeless rock band, but the rest of the time is spent chasing contemporary pop sounds which are nails-on-a-chalkboard ill-fitting.

classic

Needs to get some Doors into my rotation.

My introduction to The Doors was through some weird compilation album called Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine. A very dodgy pressing which made my Marantz stereo sound like shit. Despite this start I did discover a band that I really enjoy and appreciate. This album is another solid 4 stars for me. Fave track is The End. So much drama.

Gonna go with a 4. There's some very good music here, but it all feels like it's trying too hard.

Oh man, I got super into this growing up. Just so good! It's been a few years since I listened through, but it was great to vibe back into that world again. Spins: All Day Playlist Additions - Break on Through (To the Other Side) - Soul Kitchen - Alabama Song (Whisky Bar) - Light My Fire - The End

Ahead of its time

Good album. Been meaning to do a doors deep dive for a while now. Some of the songs are a little too long for my tastes but the overall sound is nice. 8/10

I’m not a big fan of The Doors. I do appreciate their place in the history of R&R though. 3 really good tunes on here.

I'm just not a fan. I can see why people are, but not me.

organ and jim morrison lol

4.8

7/10

Great debut from one of the most iconic bands of the late 60s.

Liked but not loved it. Some phenomenal tracks but they can't escape the circus music allegations

Had higher expectations going in. Some good songs — Light My Fire is a banger — but the lyrics are a bit bad overall and it drags on longer than necessary. The End is WAY too long. 3/5

Probably my favorite Doors album. It's rocking, grooving, well composed and greatly performed. As a side note, a friend of mine described The Doors as clown rock music and that made me chuckle. Anyway, excellent album.

Feels like listening in a dusty saloon, or a sweaty New Orleanians bar. Vivid and rousing and electrifying!

Incredibly close to a 5 but didn’t stick the landing

This was their debut???? Very good album

i like that it sounds like the doors

Some classics songs, but I have never been a huge fan of the doors. 2.5 stars

Never been a huge fan of the doors, too bluesy for me. But the end makes the album worthwhile.

jim you can have all of me

Yes 8.4/10

I like Soul Kitchen. I haven’t listened to these songs since college. At Ohio State in the late 90s, you would typically hook up to this album or something by Jimmy Buffet. So these songs remind me of some regrettable evenings with men who believed they were poets.

Too much electric organ for me!

My favorite doors album. Everything except Whisky Bar is great.

Very tough to listen with fresh ears. I’ve heard every song on this record many times. Jim Morrison’s voice and the musical stylings of the band are hypnotic. I’m not a person who thinks Morrison was a poet of his generation or anything, but the man had charisma. Good listen. Didn’t really develop any new opinions. But fun. 4/5

Personally, I feel a sense of calm when listening to this record, primarily due to the combination of Ray Manzarek's psychedelic organ and Jim Morrison's hypnotic vocals. However, it was only after learning a few details about it that I discovered its true greatness. For example, the band never had a studio bassist; Manzarek played the bass part as a second line — a masterful feat. Furthermore, the album was recorded in just a few days, with most of the songs recorded in one take. And most importantly, the engineer's wisdom — he barely touched the final recording — made it sound as if the band were performing live. This is the main strength of this music, and I hadn't yet fully grasped the apparently metaphor-filled lyrics. The Doors' best album and, arguably, one of the best debut albums ever.

Album #63 The Doors: The Doors Wonderful 60s psychedelic rock, probably the poster album for the scene alongside Jimi Hendrix’s “Are You Experienced” and The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band”, out of the three, however, The Doors' self-titled debut may well be my favourite. At the time it came out, it was the most raunchy and offensive album to go mainstream, practically redefining what popular music would look like. The Beatles had already introduced experimentation into the mainstream with songs like Tomorrow Never Knows, but they hadn’t explored such taboo themes like looking for little girls and whiskey bars, as well as someone killing their father and fucking their mother. Jim Morrison is, of course, an enigma in and of himself; many people feel as though he is just some mindless junkie, or perhaps someone trying to maintain the appearance of an out-of-control rock star, but considering how his life ended, I think it’s fair to say that he really lived that shit. Almost all of the songs on this album have aged well, with many still being culturally relevant. The final track “The End’ is certainly the most ambitious, it reminds me of The Velvet Underground’s “Sister Ray”, in its length and subject matter, both also coming out around the same time. Psych bands today still take massive influence from The Doors, for better or for worse, because it often doesn’t hit the same when some rich kid from New York uses their parents' money to rent a studio and do their best Jim Morrison impression, but the youth of today treat it like they are reinventing the wheel… Either way, a one-of-a-kind, magnanimous album and a definite favourite of mine. Similar to Who’s Next in that it just isn’t quite a 10 due to the fact that, since some tracks are so good, it outshines the others, which, though unfair, results in a mild detraction in its score. Best Songs: Light My Fire, The End, The Crystal Ship Worst Song: Back Door Man Score out of 10: 9.5

Really good. Amazing first album. Almost a greatest hits. The last couple songs slow things down and im not rhe biggest fan of the meandering and divisive The End

This album is the pinnacle of the 70s and makes sense why this is my dad's favorite band.

Can tell they were high!

Detta var eit bra lytte-album å ta opp igjen i pappa sin hifi-krok! Aktiverte dansefoten min!

This was a good rock album. It didn’t have the crazy psychedelic singing that many rock albums do, and the guitar was really good. I genuinely enjoyed this album; nothing was great, but a lot was good.

This was pretty cool! I grew to like this sound more and more as the album went on. Felt very much like Blues Rock, but there were definitely other influences there too. My one criticism would be that it sounds a bit dated, but I suppose you can't fault them for not being ahead of their time. I should listen to more of The Doors. Favorite Track: Light My Fire

Classic Rock 10/10

I don't like the doors. 2/10/2026

This album really sounds as it looks, Jim Morrison never dissapoints and this project shows, the guitars, bass and vocals have one of the best chemistry i've seen in a long time. I had a lot of fun listening to this, but i have to admit that some of the tracks didn't feel as memorable as the rest of the album, but the ones that are memorable make up for it a 100%. Track Ranking BoT (10/10) Soul Kitchen (8.9/10) TCS (7.1/10) TCF (8.5/10) Alabama Song (6.5/10) Light My fire (9/10) Back Door Man (9.1/10) I looked at you (7.9/10) End Of The Night (8.6/10) Take It As It Comes (9.5/10) The End (10/10) Overall Rating: 9/10

The more experimental second half is more interesting to me than the first. The most popular song is the opener which seems odd as it seems rather basic rock. 'The Crystal Ship' is rather beautiful while 'Light My Fire', 'Back Door Man', 'The End' are more interesting and lean in the psychedelic vibes.

Buen disco. Me molaba cuando tenía 18 años y estaba recién entrado en la carrera. Me recuerda a un día bajando apurado, resacoso y con frío a coger el bus para ir a clase, seguramente sin apenas haber dormido, para descubrir decepcionado que el resto de temas no suenan como The End, pero aun así tanto en ese momento como ahora, me acabaron convenciendo. Muchos temas muy straight to the point o algo, rollo Break on through o Twentieth Century Fox o Light my fire, que por algún motivo me hacen gracia por lo directo que es su estribillo o algo. Whisky Bar me hizo bastante gracia de esta vez, aunque normalmente se me hacía demasiado chorrada. The End es The End.

Once you walk through, you’ll never hear music the same.

very strong start

Such a cool smooth album.

I'm a Doors fan, not a rabid one, but my parents tell me I was likely conceived with "Light My Fire" spinning on the turntable. I was in the belly when my parents saw them live in early 1968. "Break On Through" is an utter classic, pure rock goodness. "Soul Kitchen" is a radio staple as is "Crystal Ship", "Twentieth Century Fox", "Alabama Song", Back Door Man" and "The End". You toss in "Light My Fire", a Mt Rushmore rock & roll classic, and you essentially have their greatest hits. This one hits it out of the park, no track has fewer than 19M listens! "Break On" has 420M and "Fire" has 380M! This truly deserves it's spot on the T1001. It's a rock royalty album, likely in the Top 25. 4+ stars

YESSIR!!!!

Great album. The Doors are amazing and this has some of their best songs. Love this one.

Yessssss Great sounds That fuzzy guitar and organ synch with Morrisons haunting vocals is perfect

One of the most overrated bands ever. Eveeeerrrrr. This is what happens when a dude that can sing thinks he's the poetest poet that ever poeted.

Neither here nor there

The first, and probably best Doors album before they began to lose their mystique and sound samey.
