Morrison Hotel

Man I hate The Doors

Loved it. Never listened to an entire Doors album. This is down to my assumption that they were pretty depressing to listen. I’ve been missing out though. It had everything, and Maggie Magill the last song was sensational

Clean, loud, stereoscopic. Great.

Well this album does nothing to change my perception that Rge Doors are the most overrated "great" band from the 60s.Even the one hit is pretty icing to me and no other song does anything to save this very ordinary album. 2 🌟

I reckon these guys have better and more adventurous albums than this. Sometimes there were moments when they diverted from the normal blues formula, but this was rare and fleeting. After some research...apparently these guys were the pioneers of edgy, social-outcast, counterculture (which I'm all about). But I think it's partly coz people fancied Jim Morrison and loved that he sang low and about ominous and dark subjects. "Peace Frog" and "Indian Summer" were good, but they're no "Riders on the Storm". They deserve credit but this album in particular is probably not the one for me.

Amazing album. Loved it from front to back. Lots of good blues stuff with killer keyboards

Such a weird, yet cool blend of blues and psychedelic rock. Normally this isn’t something I’d like but The Doors just pull it off so we’ll. I especially love “Waiting for the Sun”. Such a cool groove to it.

Waiting for the Sun was good, but nothing else left much of an impression.

Bluesy with some funky undertones and the classic Jim scatting riffs.

I find The Doors are like Marmite: some people love 'em, some people despise them instinctively. Me, I think they've got some great tunes on occasion. Pretty good album, love me some Peace Frog. Could happily never hear Roadhouse Blues again. Mainly reminds me of trying to get off with hippy chicks at the Whirl-y-gig, while 15 and wearing tie-dyed shirts from Kensington Market. Good times

Le Morrison Hotel a toujours été l'un des plus mal notés sur les différents guides touristiques. D'après les différents avis, on y trouverait dans les chambres des prises électriques au plafond, des radiateurs hors service ou encore des spaghettis de câble en évidence. Les clients mécontents voyaient après chaque signalement débarquer un Jim Morrison ni pleinement réveillé ni aimable, venant trifouiller on ne sait quoi avec son tournevis inadapté avant de repartir la main gauche dans le caleçon. On peut difficilement s'imaginer pire.

great album, pretty much all the songs are good, worthy of my 5 stars.

A classic!

This is why people like the doors.

Love The Doors, really had a good time listening to this again

Awesome

All doors is great!

A good start to this 1001 albums thing. I have not heard Doors release before, so this was my first. The first half was definitely better than the second, but both halves were enjoyable. ‘Waiting For The Sun’ was my favourite song. I will be looking forward to listening to other Doors releases.

The Doors' fusion of Psychedelic and Blues has always made for such an addictive concoction - and this album might be their most overtly bluesy one, vocally and instrumentally. Morrison's vocals shift between deep, husky, and subtle - and loud, growly, and raspy from song to song - his dynamic ability as a vocalist has always been what made him such a standout frontman. Ray brings such a unique keyboard-organ tone and playing style to the table on these Doors albums, very rarely do I associate a specific "tone" to a band but this is one of those cases. It's so subtly ominous, even on the most upbeat tracks here. It's such a colorful record with so many great moments like the entirety of the heavy and heavenly 'Waiting for the Sun' and that bassline on 'Peace Frog' rules. I love the hypnotic coasting and warmth of the track 'Indian Summer'. The Doors really mastered the sacred art of being cool as fuck - I mean they're cooler than most any band that came out in the 60s imo.

Someday I will fall in love with the Doors. Today is not that day.

Un Jim Morrisson des plus assagis sur cet album. Dès la première piste, il se permet en effet de retirer le crayon qu'il arborait jusqu'alors derrière son oreille. Suite à cet acte symbolique, les basses seront parfaitement réglèes, et les amplificateurs correctement branchés, pour le plus grand plaisir de tous les auditeurs.

RIYL: the calliope music that plays on merry-go-rounds, drinking beer for breakfast.

At first this was pretty unenjoyable. All the Radio Regulars don’t do anything for me. But a couple of tunes are excellent, especially “I Need You Tonight”. With its funky bass bit, “Thug” is also fun.

Eerder vroeg ik om meer Doors, en het eerste nummer smaakt inderdaad naar meer. Maar daarna word ik toch teleurgesteld. Het wordt nergens zo interessant als L.A. Woman. Soms wordt ik nerveus van een irritant instrument/geluid en soms is een nummer simpelweg te saai. En na het eerste nummer komt de zang nooit meer echt tot zijn recht. Pas het laatste nummer veer ik weer een beetje op.

Jim Morrison was a lazy hack convinced of his own genius. Where are the songs? I am aggrieved at having to listen to this dull collection of uninspired jams and feel like I might never be able to listen to music again. It is that bad

don't like the style

This album is anchored with a really brilliant side 1, which includes one the all time great album openers ("Roadhouse Blues"), along with several of The Doors' best songs. Side 2 is a little uneven, but taken as a whole, the album is better than most bands could ever hope to muster. I don't think the band ever sounded better. Fave Songs (All songs, from most to least favorite): Roadhouse Blues, Indian Summer, Waiting for the Sun, Blue Sunday, Peace Frog, The Spy, Queen of the Highway, Maggie M'Gill, Land Ho!, Ship of Fools, You Make Me Real

Great classic album.

The future's uncertain and the end is always near I LOVE this album. 5/5

Love this

love it, one of my fav albums ever. the opening track is one of the best tracks in the entire discography.

Fantastic

This is probably my favorite Doors album. Incredible return to form after the Soft Parade, which is my least favorite Doors album. Everything about this album is great. 5 stars.

cool

Erg goede muziek!

sick

Loved it such a joy to listen to

Reminds me of led zeppelin self titled and houses holy a bit but that’s definitely because of blues and psychedelic sounds combined with hard rock

The Doors will always rank at the top for me

A remarkable comeback to formula. Fantastic dark blues with utterly beautiful themes. Morrison has some of his best works on the album, and also not to neglect Manzarek too. And oh, Kreiger does some great work and Densmore does his best work on this album. Ok, so all of them are on top of their game on this album. The album has some of the band's greatest songs. A strong recommendation!

Love this album, one of their best. Land Ho! is a great song.

one of The Doors better albums. I thoroughly enjoyed it and give it seven deadly baths

First time listen to thr full record. Immaculate vibes.

whoof what a ride. love love love the doors. they can manage to make any subject matter harrowing and expressive, that being said, the subject matter in Morrison Hotel is one track, and for that reason I'm docking as many points as I probably could for a 70s doors album 9.7/10

Grandísimo disco. 45 estrellas.

5 star

morrison el rey largarto de ruta 3

Haven’t listened to this full album in years. Great album

Blues-rock de The Doors. Vinilo.

Fabulous solid 5 album. Loves me a bit of dirty rock & roll blues.

Imprescindible

Kolejne Doorsy na liscie, jesli pamiec mnie nie myli bedzie to juz ich trzeci album, kolejna klasyczna pozycja ich dyskografii, czyli Morrison Hotel z 1970, chronologicznie piaty krazek, wydane po mocno srednim soft parade, ktory swoja eksperymentalnoscia brzmial tak jak polowa muzyki wydawana w tamtym okresie, Morrison Hotel byl powrotem do tego co Doorsy robily najlepiej czyli granie hardego rokowego bluesa, mniej tu psychodelciznosci z pierwszych materialow, a za to wiecej klimatycznego zawodzenia w akompaniamencie ktory nigdy sie nie nudzi, wiec przede wszystkim Manzarekowe klawisze, Kriegera gitara i Densmorowe drumsy, do tego goscinny bas od Raya Neapolitankiego, co do samych wokali Morrisonowych, to plyta powstawala w ciezkim okresie dla frontmena bandy, co slychac zarowno w glosie jak i w kontencie lirycznym albumu, bo sporo jest tutaj materialu z starszych nagran, najbardziej rzucajacym sie w oczy jest pojawienie sie kawalka waitining for the sun, ktory byl pisany na plyte o tym samym tytule, ale nie znalazl na niej dla siebie miejsca, a dostal drugie zycie tutaj, podobnie z peace frogiem czy indian summer, ale jak to bywa odpadki po poprzednich sesjach staja sie glownym daniem nastepnych, tak jest rowniez w tym wypadku, bo hajlajtowymi momentami plyty sa dla mnie wlasnie te dwa pierwsze wspomniane utwory, pewnie przemawia przeze mnie fangejowosc doorsowa, ale ciezko doszukac mi sie czegos co by mi nie pasowalo w tym 37 minutowym krazku, nagranym zgrabnie i dosc szybko, ale prosto i autentycznie, juz tyle odtworzen nabitych na last fmie, choc nadal nie jest to najbardziej osluchany album z dyskografii zespolu, dopiero teraz przy systematycznym sluchaniu nowych plyt czlowiek jest w stanie docenic prawdziwe perelki, nie ma jeszcze polowy listy, a juz pojawilo sie to co obstawialem, ze bedzie doorsowego, teraz tylko czekac na pozytywne zaskoczenie gdy pojawia sie kolejne dwie pozycje

Peace frog and roadhouse blues are in Unbelievable, rest of the album was very solid but those are timeless bangers

Not even the best from The Doors, but still one hell of an album.

Not one of my favorite Doors albums but honestly The Doors were my first favorite band as a teen, and it still sounds as great to me two decades later.

Top album. The Doors at their peak

What Tom said

excelente, peace frog é minha musica favorita deles

I didn’t like this one as much as other doors albums before but now I see the vision

Classic

From one Jim to another, great work Jim

awesome

o mais rock do the doors, mas não importa muito, qualquer album deles é um 5 pra mim

I love the Doors. I don't harbor illusions about Jim Morrison being the great poet that he obviously thought that he was, but I do like his singing style and voice. "Maggie M'Gill" sounds so much like "Back Door Man" that I would bet that Maggie was quite a lady.

Sublime

I've loved the Doors for ages - don't care what anyone says! This is not quite their best album, but with Peace Frog and Queen of the Highway etc it still gets a 5 from me

Great album.

Yeah!!

Rock

Koja slučajnost da se baš nakon one žustre rasprave kod Ivana u stanu ko je zgodniji našao ovaj album. Nije čista petica, fali do toga, ali svejedno mislim da bez problema mogu dati toliko.

4,8/5 Kannte ich schon BANGER The doors sind premium haben aber NOCH bessere Alben

White boy blues, sure. But The Spy? Indian Summer? I'd never have lost my virginity without this album.

Amazing group, amazing album. I wish I could give it ten stars.

Probably the best their album

The Doors are absolutely LEGENDARY and this album is no exception. Jim was an enigma and blessing in one.

Classic doors album. Roadhouse blues, waiting for the sun.

Peace Frog is a bop, and I enjoy the groovy keyboard action throughout the album. Morrison's lyrics are amusingly on-the-nose, at times. Not exactly wall-to-wall bangers tho.

All doors albums are absolutely legendary

Damn this is really great album. A couple stinkers but overall I loved it.

So GOOD!

love love love love

Roadhouse Blues tem vários instrumentos interessantes.

In my opinion, this is not their best, but hey... how can I give under 5 stars to a Doors album?

Awesome

#Classic 5 stars no question.

This was released one day before my anniversary! (22 years before I was born.)

One of their best end-to-end listens, maybe second only to their debut.

I haven’t listened to much from the Doors other than their hits… I think I might have recognized one or two songs on this in some distant memory. I guess I see why these aren’t the usual Doors songs I hear, but they sure are great! I loved this album!

I love the doors; soulful, bluesy, groovy! Much derided, but extremely unfairly!

One of the best blues albums I've come across. Not a bad song on there but special mention to Peace Frog and Queen of the Highway (obviously).

One of the best bands from the rock history.

Excellent

Such a great album, one of my all time favorites.

I'm 30 albums into this project and this is the first to come up that I actually own. And love. I had Jim Morrison on my dorm room wall -- you know that poster. The last album served me by the generator was by Living Color, which rocks but is let down by the lyrics, which remain relevant and are presumably heartfelt, but they aren't poetry. Morrison Hotel, on the other hand, is the whole package. Roadhouse Blues is a strong opener, very bluesy Doors-y with the music supporting/echoing/riffing on the sung melody, with some classic Morrison flourishes and lyrics like "The future's uncertain and the end is always near". Waiting for the Sun paints a darker picture, I think, and gives us the uber Doors line "This is the strangest life I've ever known." You Make Me Real is back to a rockin' good time love song, but then Peace Frog gives us the unsettling imagery of "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding / Ghosts crowd the young child's eggshell mind." Even the (slightly) weaker tracks towards the end Queen of the Highway and Maggie M'Gill are like snuggling up in a thick velvet blanket, although admittedly one made of scotch and sex. TL;DR: This album is a journey. I was born in the wrong time and place and introduced to The Doors at the wrong age to have any genuine perspective on this music. This album mother's milk to me.

A classic.

Descomunal

Amazing!

POKER TIME

one of the best Doors albums

Moody, smooth, dark but not depressed.
