Morrison Hotel

Good album. I especially like the first and last song

Great Album

Also good

Great album

It’s been SOOO long since I’ve listened to a Doors album, and boy I forgot just how enjoyable they are. This one is definitely another one I’ll go back to and jam out again.

Good

Excellent!

Its the first time i see an Doors album here, and i hope not the last, Morisson Hotel is one of the last Doors album that i discover and i absolutly love it. Its a more bluesy album than the others, with touch of RNB and the psychedelic rock that make them legend. Unfortunatly we start to hear the effet of years of alcool abuse on Jim's voice, even tho he still have a wonderfull voice, its more hoarse but i guess it fit their blues sound. The iconic cover was taken when they discover an hotel name Morrison and they find it funny, the tittle of the album completly came from that and its cool. This album is often view as a comeback altheway from Stranges days, especially criticaly, and its also view as on of their best at all, not sure to agree for me its clearly in the top 3. On the vinyl the two side are name Hard Rock Café and the other is name Morrison Hotel, the first have some blues rock songs like roadhouse blues, you make me real or Peace frog. The other as more slower song and a bit more RnB like Land Ho, indian summer or The Spy. The best song for me are the following: Accualy i'm not sure wich one i like the best there so many good songs not as famous as Peace Frog or Roadhouse blues but i will try Indian Summer: One of the most beautifull poem Jim ever written a soft, slow music sing beautifully by Morrison simply magnificent i'm really moved by this song. The song is also onw of the oldest they have written and reccorded but they only release it in 1970 on this album. Waiting for the Sun: The tittle track... of the previous album, in this album there is not epic song like in previous reccord, but this one is probably the closer. The Spy: Another strange love song about a possesif lover who spy the one he love, the spiritual father of every breath you take, but very passionate i like it. Peace frog: Another protest song, with Jim's lyrical genius he transport us in the boilling late 60's time with reference of one of his previous incarceration in New Heaven and one of his most traumatic events in his lifetime, when he saw dead indeginous after a car crash when he wass a child. Land Ho: I always feel it kinda detains from the rest of thoses songs, Land Ho is was the sailors would say they spot a land to coast and find it very entertaining with an happy vibe wich is not that frequent with the Doors Roadhouse Blues: The lead single and of of the most recognisable Doors Song with an iconic guitar riff and as always the jazzy drums of John densomore and the magic of Ray Organ the magic really happen on this song in particullar but mostly all the songs. Blue Sunday: I discover and strated to liek this track later than most of the album but a wonderfull poem by Jim simply Beautifull. Ship Of Fools: Another purely blues song, with still the Doors special touch, simply a cool song. You make me Real: You cannot go more blues than this song again just a cool song nothing so special but i like it. Queen of the highway: It was written for his longtime girlfriend Pamela Courson, i don't like it as much as the others Maggie M'Gill: This song never printed on me, like again i don't like it as much. So to conclude on this album, its not what you expect of the Doors if you know tjeir biggest hits, but its them we recognize them for sur, its a great album with decent and wonderfull songs. In the context (Morrison trial, his alcool consumtion and the bands cohension in decline) its very forgivable when you see the result. Again i just love the Doors in general and this album is one of my favorite of all times.

Big fan of the doors, always an enjoyable listen

Not necessarily a comeback album, but this is one of the better Doors albums. Does it need to be heard? I think so. I find it interesting the song "Waiting on the Sun" is not on the album "Waiting on the Sun," but is on this album.

I grew up on a diet of The Doors owing to my father's penchant. Morrison Hotel is quite a lot more towards the bluesy end of their work, with a couple of touches of psychedelia. I don't recall hearing as much of this album as for instance LA Woman, Strange Days or the eponymous album, but it's still good.

Much more straight forward rock than I expected. Drifts back to more Doors style in the second half.

I thought I knew their discography. Pleasant surprise.

Was OK. Quirkier than I expected.

First I loved the Doors now I cannot listen to them at all

A little more mature as a record than others from the Doors - and also a pleasant listen at times a bit somehow I don’t know what happened but I’m totally off Jim Morrison these days - I find him cringe and he totally puts me off the band.

3/5. Love roadhouse blues. The rest is okay.

I knew going in that I didn't like the doors. Some of these lyrics were kind of disturbing. Just not for me.

En ollut ennen kuullut. Tutun kuuloisia juttuja. Lisäsi ymmärrystä bändistä, jee.

Не люблю вот этот ровный блюз. Лучшая песня - Waiting For The Sun.

Absolute banger of an album. I don’t really enjoy the doors as people but I love their sound even if it isn’t the most complex.

I think their debut album had a better sound.

vielschichtig

Best one i’ve listened to so far! This has crack in it! ‘Waiting for the Sun’ was my favorite track on the album! As well as ‘Blue Sunday’ & ‘Queen of the Highway’

Might be their album, Peace Frogs 😤😤😤😤😤

It's like a 2.5 for me. I think LA Women is their seminal album.

pretty good, nice vocals and guitar. not amazingly standout album but enjoyable listen nonetheless:))

5/5

Groovy rock, I like the organ inclusion

Peace Frog is the best The Doors song. It's science.

I am not a huge Doirs fan, but definitely enjoy and appreciate the band’s music. This is a great album, with lots of blues influences but not limited to the blues. Peace Frog is awesome and Roadhouse Blues is iconic Doors.

They were very talented musicians. Too bad drugs were an influence on them.

Highlights: Roadhouse Blues, Blue Sunday, The Spy, Indian Summer 4,5/5

Meh

Very good album, Bluesy and Beatles esque in the guitar and drum grooves

Great mix of songs with classic guitar riffs. Peace Frogs is my favorite track but Indian Summer was sickly and sentimental

This was a good but straight forward collection of tracks. Very clean blues rock, fun to listen to but didn't blow me away. Many songs were massive hits and of course very familiar. Some were less popular or new to me. But as an album composition, it was sort of just a collection of fun tunes to me.

A real gutty roadhouse journey of gritty LA blues... from the psychological mind of Late 60's America.

I don't think I can give it 4*, but 3 is quite harsh. Solid 72/100.

I just don’t really get the Jim Morrison hype. There’s definitely something solid here, but a stronger lead vocal would elevate them for me.

Jim Morrison gets on my fucking nerves

Always a great album.

Doors always sounded like a less fun Stooges to me. I don't think it stands the test of time very well. Probably very cool in the day, but that day has been and gone.

As a Doors fan, I've been sleeping on this album. Great listen.

My favourite Doors album when I was younger was "The Best of The Doors" so I fear we might be on similar Rolling Stones territory here, where I only really like the singles or hits. For some reason, I got into a habit a few years ago, of always putting on The Doors on whilst manning the barbeque and drinking several beers. I don't know why, but it works. I recommend it. Anyway, as a result of that, my other half has bought me a Doors album on vinyl every once in a while for birthdays, Christmas, etc. As a result I'm finding that the Doors album tracks, whilst obviously not as good as the hits, have a charm to them. UPDATE: Since this was the album over the weekend, I ended up going on a bit of a Doors "deep dive" and listened to all their studio albums recorded whilst Jim Morrison was alive. (I still have the two recorded without him as a three piece and An American Prayer to go.) My conclusions? Morrison Hotel isn't the best Doors album but it's not the worst either. (The worst, for me, is The Soft Parade. It came before Morrison Hotel and has strings and brass all over it, not in a Beatles-y way, but in a Las-Vegas-pop-cover-of-a-alternative-song way. Thus, Morrison Hotel is seen as a return to form.) I think that Best of The Doors album did get all the best songs on it (I think it was a 90 minute cassette actually!?) but I've found enough in the original records to make me want to get to know them better.

Right back at sixth form college….

A few of big songs, but more so a return to the Blues core of the Doors. The band made themselves commit to their return and it paid off well

It was okay, could definitely use a real bass.

Some good songs here. Very blues focused and stays from going too experimental. But it’s a solid album.

No skips, enjoyed till the end.

Solid Rockn roll

As time goes on, the less I seem to like 20-something boomer white dudes playing the blues. Give me a break. Speaking of boomers, Lester Bangs in Almost Famous put it quite succinctly: "Jim Morrison is a drunken buffoon posing as a poet." I'm not sure if I'll agree with Lester about the Guess Who, but they're not on the list, so I guess I could just listen to them without spoiling it. Then he proceeds to forcibly put Iggy Pop on right after, which I definitely agree with. At least this is less than 40 minutes.

I know a guy who said The Doors are the greatest band of all time. He hinted at hating on The Beatles which is the only correct answer for the greatest band of all time. He told me “you can’t really think the Beatles are the greatest band of all time?” And I replied “no, I really think the Beatles are the greatest band of all time.” So yeah. Now that my intro that literally no one cares about is over time to review The Doors’ Morrison Hotel. The first half is the best, middle is eh. Indian Summer is bad. Ends with Maggie M’Gill which is a great song. Good instruments. Jim Morrison’s voice is my least favorite part of the band. The length of the album is Alfa. In my last paragraph to make myself seem important on a website I’ll end with a question for the readers “Do you really think The Doors are the great band of all time?”

i didnt skip much. 3.5

A bit boring in parts but overall pretty good. Soft 3.5

It was fine

harder rock than i was expecting ngl

This only somewhat sounds like The Doors that I'm used to. Even still, it's not a bad listen at all!

Nice blues-rock. All very good, beautiful, but almost nothing memorable.

mixed bag roadhouse blues waiting for the sun peace frog

I obviously knew the name of the band but hadn't listened to them before. I didn't hear anything special in this album.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors presents a more accessible sound while still retaining the band's distinctive style. With its infectious groove and superb vocal performance by Jim Morrison, the album is captivating from start to finish. It demonstrates the band's evolution while staying true to their essence, making it a must-have for fans and newcomers alike. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 5 STAND OUT TRACK - Roadhouse Blues

My Jam

I liked it, had some cool stuff on it and a nice mix. Not sure if I’ll revisit it so giving it a mid score.

I don’t know it was kind of underwhelming. It wasn’t bad or anything but I think since they’re kind of a big name band I’d expected a lot more than what I heard. It wasn’t amazing or horrible just something to listen to.

ehh. It's hard to think about giving this a 2 when I just gave ZZTop Eliminator a 3 and I don't think I even liked it. I've never liked the Doors even if I like a lot of old organic rock - this one has much less of that awful lounge organ that permeates so much of their music. And it's still not good. I think it's as simple as they weren't good songwriters. They had a sound - a distinct one - and I can see that being an attraction for people in and of itself. Just not for me Same old Doors, but with even fewer catchy songs. Boring. 4/10 2 stars.

The Doors reaching their peak. Production is tight and heavy, with side A in particular kicking off with the meaty "Roadhouse Blues" and twangy attacks of "Waiting for the Sun." Everything sounds clean, and importantly, talented studio bassists fill an essential hole present in some early Doors material. A record that speeds by under 40 minutes and wastes no time on its concise cuts.

it's fine lol

Thoughts before listening: I have always considered this to be the quintessential Doors album, and I really like their self-titled debut and LA Woman quite a bit as well. As a whole I enjoy the Doors and consider them one of the better 60s bands. A lot of modern music fans like to dismiss their impact largely due to Jim Morrison's antics, but their music is awesome and has been a major influence on a lot of the punk and indie bands I love. Review: Confirmed that this is my favorite of the Doors' albums with "Peace Frog" probably my favorite song. Other strong tracks include "Roadhouse Blues", "Waiting for the Sun", "Blue Sunday", "You Make Me Real", and "Maggie M'Gill". This is the band's most focused blues rock album and I think thats why I like it so much. Just straightforward rock songs some of which have gone on to be classic rock radio staples. 5-stars.

Dieses Album gehört nach dem ersten Album zum Besten. Es ist in jeder Hinsicht hörenswert. Unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen zeigen, dass die Doors ungewöhnlich kreativ waren. Nicht nur die Texte, sondern auch die Musik zeigen die gegenseitige fruchtbare Ergänzung innerhalb der Gruppe. Ein Meisterwerk!

None of the Doors’ albums matched their self-titled debut or the follow-up Strange Days, but this one comes close. Really everything in their discography is very good, albeit there’s not a lot of albums considering Jim Morrison’s early death. “Peace Frog” is the highlight of this album for me. While rather upbeat it’s fairly political, condemning actions of the police (both for Morrison’s on-stage arrest in New Haven and the mishandling of the 1968 DNC convention protest in Chicago).

That's So Doors

Classic Doors. Loved it all!

Okee Dokee... I am aware of the Doors. I don't live under a rock or somehow missed the memo. (I saw the film). Plus, I am "old enough" to have heard the Doors on the radio back iin the day. For some reason over the last few decades they have not gotten a heck of a lot of airplay, and I am really not into "oldies" stations. Listening "fresh" to this album is a real mind blower. This album is over 50 years old. And it is, as it was, amazing! This is a "must listen" in my not always humble opinion.

I do really like this album, idk why i’m not giving it a 5, i would probably give it a 4.5 but… you cant do that sadly… but super 🕺✨

I mean i guess its pretty good. Its just not really my style. I find blues to be pretty tiresome.

nice album

Nothing here caught me... easy listen though.

Pretty good album. Land Ho! was stand out for me but the whole album was an easy listen with some interesting songs. Really enjoyed it!

It's not as good as LA Woman obviously, but this one is also really great. Morrison's vocals are just so compelling, and the songwriting here is really great.

Very good. Loved the blues feel it had.

I really dont know the music of The Doors at all, but well aware of the band and name as Im sure most are. This album was released in the 60s I believe and frankly I wasnt a fan. To old-timey for my taste.

It's alright, there are definitely better Doors songs.

Better than I expected. Enjoyed it

Pretty classic stuff. You can almost smell the room with its ‘relaxing scent’…

Heard less than favourable things about this before listening. Or had I? Perhaps it was just those "yeah, not a patch on the early stuff" comments, but Morrisson delivers again with with "that" voice and references to love, war, peace, lust, and hope. A friday well spent

The Doors are always a good listen.

Album marcante, músicas deliciosas, destancando-se Roadhouse Blues e You make me real.

I haven’t heard much of this album outside of “Roadhouse Blues,” but it’s quite good. “Blue Sunday” through “Indian Summer” are all great songs and make for a really fantastic middle/end of the album. Not my favorite from The Doors, but I still enjoyed this a lot overall.

Good one. Like 70s I've never lived in.

Quite like the Doors but not their best album

Good, not a Doors album I am super familiar with, the songs I didn't know past me buy a bit. But an enjoyable, if not short listen.

I hated the Doors for a minute. When the movie came out in the 90's everyone was playing the Doors for a bout a year. It took me forever to come back around on them but I'm glad I did. The music reminds me of of an LA that's not shiny and clean but dark and sleazy full of back alleys and broken dreams. My personal favs from this record are waiting for the sun and Indian summer. Waiting for the Sun has that languid floating in a pool looking down at the city quality. Like I've been at a party all night, done too much coke, and need to float in the pool with a giant daiquiri while the sun reflects off my sunglasses. Indian Summer is a sweet love song with the Doors vibe in full place.

I really expected to hate this, but it was pretty tight. The organ is just a totally uncool instrument though.

my first thought with this album is that morrison hotel sure does sound very much like the doors! but at the same time, their iconic sound leaves the band with a narrow vision to create music in. this album sounds a lot like their debut album with easy psychedelia rock, but it sounds too much like they tried to replicate what worked then. i didn't feel that same spark of creativity. the songs blended into one another, so overall the album was too repetitive to be enjoyable.

I've said it before, but here it is again: psychedelic and blues rock are not my forte areas by any means, but The Doors just get it sooo right for me; they define the blend of the two genres for me. I don't think this album has as many iconic tracks as some other Doors albums might have, but the flow of songs here just works and makes for a great overall entire album listen, regardless of "singles" potential. That said, "Waiting for the Sun" is one of my favorite Doors songs. I am not a Doors expert by any means, but I noticed that this album is touted as a "return to form". What I do know is that their best form was immediately present on their debut album, so I can agree that they sound as good here as they did on their debut album.

I have tried so many times with The Doors, but every time Jim Morrison starts singing I just glaze over. The musicianship is pretty good, but I cannot stand his nonsense.

You know what they say; good things don't last forever. I'm not saying that because of any "good album streaks" ending or whatever, I said that because this album doesn't last forever. Morrison Hotel is pretty good. Let's start with the best thing about this album in my opinion. I really like Jim Morrison's singing. I just think it sounds nice and different from other singing styles. It's a real shame that he died as young as he did. The rest of this album's sound is also quite good. It's nothing crazy, but it is very solid. The writing and lyrics aren't bad. There's some variety on here and the album doesn't really have any notably bad songs on it. Overall, this is a pretty good album and I wouldn't be opposed to listening to more albums from The Doors later for this project. Light 4/5.

Interesting odds to listen to two Doors albums in the first dozen selections. I actually initially listened to the self titled instead of this (so three Doors albums), which may have set me up more for disappointment.

Overraskende meget bluesy og swing i forhold til hvad jeg havde forventet af the Doors. Måske mindre eksperimenterende/psykedelisk? Det der dog trækker det ned er det pisseirriterende Doors orgel, hold da kæft der er altså kun få sange der får den lyd til at fungere, og selv der bliver jeg lidt træt af den. Det er en lille 4'er.

Good but i think I like their self titled one more.

Easily The Doors at their most forgettable, at times almost sounding like a blues cover band playing at a fair.

The Doors are a weird band. When they’re good, they are among the greatest to ever play the blues. “Waiting For the Sun” and “Peace Frog” are clear examples of that. I just think that a lot of their other material sounds like any other blues rock band. And I don’t quite get the hype, when they fall into that pit.

Good guitar heavy cruising dad music that made a shockingly compelling album

He started so shy that he could not face the audience, but here Morrison is screaming. The Lizard King shouts all his commands with bluesy tunes in the back (except for Indian Summer, a lovely song). The band was on point. I think this is one of their best works.

Defines the misterious sound of a classic band with no bassist, but it's not my favourite doors album

Listened

Some of the songs on this album are fantastic, but some are fairly forgettable. I listened to this a few times to see if it would grow on me more and several times I actually forgot it was even playing. Could have been a great album with a bit more killer, less filler. Highlights: Roadhouse Blues, You Make Me Real, Peace Frog / Blue Sunday, Maggie M’Gill

Rockin, bet dad likes

good classics

Solid doors album.

Tried to listen, but it said this item wasn’t available to listen to in the United States on apple

Honestly one of my favorite albums of all time. The Doors just did not miss ever

It’s The Doors doing Doors-y stuff.

The word swagger was invented to describe the music on this record. Jim Morrisons vocals is so extremely cool and self-assured. The Spy is a song I didn't know, that I really liked.

Excellent album from the Doors -- not their best perhaps but full of the thought-provoking lyrics and rollicking sound that made them famous. Roadhouse Blues and Peace Frog are the best known songs on this album, but Maggie McGill, The Spy and Ship of Fools are gems as well. I listened to a lot of the Doors growing up but they had fallen off my radar a bit. Time to get them back into the rotation.

A classic. One of their best. Morrison's lyrical creativity and the his band'c musical sounds are awesome. Ran Kanzarek on keyboards was unique and Robby Kreiger on lead guitar did some excellent solo work.

Just classic Doors isn't it! Exactly what you would expect. And I thought it was totally fine!

You know what, I like the Doors but I don't love them. After a while it all sounds the same. They definitely created a good sound and were very pioneering and all that but I simply don't like listening to them for more than a few songs.

I’m sure I like it years ago, but the music doesn’t hold up.

Consistent blues record. The doors have never really done much for me, and this didn’t do anything to change my mind really. A solid record. 6/10

Great classic album! Roadhouse blues sets the pace for a great diverse showcase of Doors music. Morrison is greatly missed!!

Very good

The Doors made some great songs in their day, but they've never seemed to be an album band in my eyes. Their eponymous debut, I may have expected to see, but this one surprised me. It has the hit single "Roadhouse Blues" and my personal favorite "Peace Frog", but beyond that, I didn't think this album held much. And I was mostly right. Some bluesy, near psychedelic tracks that go down easy, but don't hold that "hit" appeal. Still, this album shows one of the big American rock bands at the height of their power. They sound absolutely great together, as they unknowingly near the end of their time as a band. This was such an easy listen, that I'm bumping it up from 3 stars to 4. I couldn't do "Peace Frog" dirty like that.

Great band, but probably not their best album…

Know it already.

Had a few great songs, a few bad songs and a few in the middle.

The best parts are awesome, the worst parts are OK. I don't like their bluesy side very much. The more mysterious sounding songs are better. And my favorite song: Peace Frog.

It’s the DOORS, of course it gets 5 stars. Jim Morrison is the lizard king, he can do anything!

I usually don’t listen to this style of music often but this was a very enjoyable listen. I like the blues influence of the Doors and the grittiness in Morrison’s delivery. This album is one i’ll revisit again for sure.

Great album. Good composition. Going between 3-4 stars. Will land on 3 stars because I don’t know that I’ll seek the album out, but would enjoy when it’s on.

Just a solid record of rock, blues and singer-songerwriter tunes. Jim morrison does have a commanding voice and the writing is quite captivating as well, with love songs, and a sea shanty sort of a thing as well?, there's blues cuts like roadhouse blues, and maggie. There's this creepy and dark song the spy. It's a fun, energetic heartful album. Ship of fools, and queen of highway are fine. It's a decent 4 for me.

Funa album, I think "Maggie McGill" is my favorite.

Awesome...classic Doors!!

.

Meh.

Love the doors sound

kinda a banger

This is a fun album. I really enjoy it. Instrumentation and vocals are obviously excellent. Experimentation is in good quantity and quality. Aside from “Roadhouse Blues”, however, there aren’t any stand-out tracks that make the project too memorable like there are on their debut album or the album after this one. A good amount of range though, emotionally, but most lack the energy to really excite. 4/5

3 stars

I’ll admit that I enjoyed some of the musical arrangements and song structure, but Jim Morrison is remembered as a buffoon who wrote children’s book lyrics for the average educated manchild.

Starts off with a country tune and progressive into psychedelic rock has a calmer nature to it I like it. Poetic genius 3.4/5

Never liked the Doors. They always seemed overly dramatic, self-absorbed & self-impressed. That said, this album was ok. Didn’t hate it as much as I figured I would. Won’t listen again, but at least I can say I listened to it.

Whenever I feel like a bad lyricist, I remember that Jim Morrison was venerated and then I don't feel as bad A passable album with a few high notes, but definitely not too route one to be one of their greats.

Solid

solid 60's rock. the doors are alright. don't mind listening to them, but don't think i'll return to this album for a while

I really liked this album! My favorite songs were blue sunday and waiting for the sun.

Fine. Listenable. Some songs like the Divine Comedy.

Rating: 9/10 Amazing album, great songwriting from start to finish. A lot of character and personality from all of the members, it made this album incredibly enjoyable to listen to the entire time. Really loved the interplay between the instruments, especially the bass and keyboards. Riffs were very blues-inspired but played with the band's signature style and swagger. Favorite songs: Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, You Make Me Real, Peace Frog, Ship of Fools, Land Ho!, Queen of the Highway, Maggie M'Gill. Least favorite song: Blue Sunday.

Another fun album. Fun use of synths on Waiting for the Sun. Heavy blues influence

Some iconic songs - some other not so iconic songs. Could tell this was the turn of the decade. Decent album - glad i listened to it. Would like to own it on vinyl

I love the bluesy feel of this album

Very hit or miss album. Front-loaded with most of the best tracks, it gets too repetitive as time goes on, and all the final tracks seem to sound alike. Roadhouse Blues is the obvious star of the show here, but my personal favorite track from this album has always been Waiting for the Sun. The first 30 minutes of the album show The Doors true range, switching from hardcore blues to psychedelic rock. While Jim Morrison’s sultry baritone and growling vocals are at the forefront, Manzerek and Krieger’s unique musicality make these tracks truly special. Unfortunately, the final tracks all share the same bluesy riffs and listening to the last half of the album is a bit of a chore.

Great road trip album

Great Album, Milestone

Probably my 3rd favorite Doors album

Atmospheric afternoon listening, scent of dust and old hair oil with men still preferring to talk about cars, carpentry and concrete than anything else. A time that has passed. I'd not heard of these pieces. Its not the Doors that I was given to discover. It's a good album. Message is nothing particularly resonant that I could tell but its good capture of a time and place and people. 3 stars meaning I'd listen again but not necessarily seek it out. (ADDENDUM - I've been seeking it out ... how awesome is that!)

A couple of great tracks. Roadhouse Blues is a classic, of course, and Waiting for the Sun is an interesting prog-y departure from the general bluesiness of the rest of the album.

Liked a lot

One of the best Doors albums. A joy from start to finish.

The Spy bestes Lied

Classic. Just like I was listening to it with my dad.

Probably my least favorite doors album, but it still gets a 4 :)

A great showcase of bluesy psych goodness, The Doors can do no wrong.

Do not like the Doors

BL: funnily enough I recently added this album to my library with intention to listen to it. But I hadn’t gotten round to it yet, so I guess this gives me all the more reason to give it a listen. AL: this album was more art student pretentiousness then classic doors psych-rock goodness. Which is a shame. This is definitely the weakest doors record I’ve heard out of the key 4. There were some absolute shredders on here but generally more misses than hits which was dissapointing FT: “waiting for the sun” “Peace Frog / Blue Sunday” 2/5

The piano in the first track, wish it carried all the way through. I've enjoyed The Doors since my mid-twenties when I moved to Moranbah.

Like a lot of these albums, this is something I could probably grow to appreciate with more attentive listens, but I was pretty ambivalent on my first one. Just didn’t do much for me on this particular day.

My favorite The Doors album. Very bluesy, less psychedelics then some of their other offerings(not that there is anything wrong with their other records).

Die meisten Songs von den Doors sind gut.

Nothing stood out.

It's a fine album. Not really my jam.

Another classic album. Jim's voice on here at its best real rock n roll. Road house blues has an iconic vocal harp trade with some wicked piano.

Well, The Doors have a very distinguished style. Some like it, some don't. I like it, but this album asn't anything over the top for my personal taste. Good music though.

Blues rock, the Doors - if you’ve heard either before then you’ve heard this album.

Nice easy listening. Good vibes. Will listen to again. 4/5

Good tunes on one side, pretty meh on the other, not an easy album to rate. That being said, I have to bump it up to a 3 because it is actually a pretty good album

Classy, slow and flowy.

need a relisten. I liked the beginning but not as much as rolling stones. Peace Frog was catchy and that's all I remember from it

I liked this one

4 Stars (11/15)

Went thru a big Doors phase when I was in college. And I'm still a fan of the lush, dark sound.

Really good. A rich stew

Most albums by The Doors are worth a listen and this one a little more so. Can’t say I care much for Land Ho! But beyond that it’s track after track of greatness with Peace Frog/Blue Sunday being the highlight.

Ooo okay. I like. Blues on here is on point. Awesome! 4

Blues-rock de The Doors. Vinilo.

Solid album from the Doors

The Doors are always awesome. 4/5

Just not grabbing me. I feel like this should be more impactful for how big the band is but I'm either missing something or this is riding on clout.

At time this sounds like a drunk white guy making fun of the Blues. The instrumentation is fine. Production is fine for what it's working with.

I know it's en Vogue to shit on the doors but I couldn't :(

Surprisingly enjoyed this one. It's the organ.

Some really good stuff on that album!

can't even listen to it in my country

Great memories. Always enjoy this sound!

ANother one hit wonder

Among the better late period Doors albums. Peak lizard king and co. Varied too.

Good.

Classic bluesy rock. 3/5

Above average blues rock album. Enjoyable.

First time through an entire Doors album and I thought it was pretty good. More eclectic than I expected.

half of the album is great (see Peace Frog and Roadhouse Blues), half the album is obnoxious. So you know, it's a door's album.

fav songs: blue sunday (oh my god it’s so good love the vibe), the spy, indian summer not my cup of tea tbh but it’s a vibe

Not my jam. A bit too sloppy for my taste.

Definitely not a great Doors album, but I didn’t hate it.

Nice sound, good vocals, interesting

Some of the tracks I could crank in the car and then some I thought got a little monotonous and maybe were not meant to listen sober. I love Morrison’s voice always.

6/10

Classic album, immensely enjoyable easy listening

Enjoyed!

Hit or miss rock album with some bluesy tracks and others with pop elements. The poppy ones are enjoyable. Favorite tracks: Peace Frog, Land Ho!

The Doors are 1 of the Best 5 US Bands Ever , their music is a mixture of Rock, Poetry & the Absurd. Just like Every Guitarist wanted to look like Kieth Richards, Every lead Singer wanted to look like Jim Morrison.Robbie Krieger infused Jazz Riffs in Rock Songs. John Densmore's drumming was always creative & Ray Manzerek Seemed to hold the whole thing together.Every serious Rock fan needs to own this Album. Along with their 1st LP and Strange Days, its one of their best

No era el que m'esperava però està bé. No és el millor àlbum que he escoltat i se m'ha fet una mica repetitiu.

great guitar, great vocals (both the clean on the whole album and the rougher vocals on maggie m'gill), great bass, decent melodica. all other instruments were excessively repeditive and unbalanced. the electric piano on ship of fools and land ho! becomes physically painful to listen to. despite this ship of fools ended up being one of my favourites. favourites: ship of fools and maggie m'gill

Listened to it twice and couldn't tell you a single thing about it

Land Ho! Lesser doors, but still these boys could play and were always interesting.

5.5/10 Highlights: Peace Frog Waiting for the Sun

Cool

Some great songs, some not so great

Peace Frog slaps but everything else was fine

I think I love the idea of the Doors, more than I love the Doors. Great song or two on this one, but the non singles don't jump out and do much for me on this one.

Maggie M'Gill is quality. Not the best Doors album but still a good listen.

Enjoyable listen with some classics. Unlike when I listened to the Doors when I was a teenager, the music felt somewhat disingenuous or overblown this time around. A solid album but not ticking my boxes today.

The Doors were an incredible band and they absolutely deserve to be on this list. Just not with this album. (I don't like numeric ratings, I just give 3 to anyone)

average

not their best but killer first song

The doors suck

definitely not my favorite. very repetitive.

haven't heard it yet

This could be their best album, but I go between which one of theirs is their best. Lots of bangers on this one, and the remaster from a few years ago sounds really good.

Pride of Melbourne... FL, Jim Morrison and the Doors produced an excellent bluesy, early, rockabilly album. Quite honestly there isn't a dull moment with this album. It actually makes me want more from this band. Checking out of the hotel of life after a brief stay of 27 years, I wonder what other legendary records Morrison could have lent his voice to if his stay was a bit longer. Morrison Hotel is frankly an excellent album and undoubtedly influential to the history of rock and roll. The instrumentals, the vocals, the mixing... all great. Easy 5 stars. Favorite Songs: Waiting for the Sun Peace Frog Land Ho! Maggie M'Gill

There are a handful of bands who's creation can be linked directly to the US gov. The Doors are one. And it makes sense because they fucking suck ass.

Some of Jim’s best

Not my favorite Doors rig but tracks 1, 2, 4 and 11 render this album a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice but not my cuppa

This was such an interesting album. I actually had never listened to a Doors album all the way through before this one. What a range of styles. It definitely deserves multiple listens.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors, released in 1970, is a blues-infused journey that reaffirms the band's musical prowess. Straying from their earlier psychedelic sound, the album embraces a raw, rock-and-roll energy. Jim Morrison's vocals are charismatic, and tracks like "Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog" stand out for their infectious rhythm. The album's diversity, from blues to soulful ballads, showcases The Doors' versatility. While it might lack the conceptual depth of some previous works, Morrison Hotel captivates with its spirited authenticity. A solid 4/5 rating is deserved, marking it as a compelling chapter in The Doors' illustrious career.

pretty meh

Lots of good songs, feels like good 'car music'

Really good album, I had only heard the hits before.

Solid

Great album, classic rock, multiple songs added to rotation. However don’t think it reaches the heights of their self titled album. 4/5.

Manzarek Inn

I enjoyed this one and knew a few of the songs.

Love the doors. Hadn't listened to the full album before but I'm happy I've done so now.

Good fun, not my fav stuff, similar to previous albums of same genre

Good car music

Decent, peace frog was banging - I enjoyed the album but it didn't feel outstanding.

Very good musically interesting rock álbum, melodically great, love Peace Frog and Queen of the Highway

This was a really good rock album! The Doors are maybe slightly underrated.

I really enjoyed quite a lot of the tracks

Love the doors, peace frog mega choon

Some decent songs in here but most of this album felt very slow

I spent time with the Doors as a teenager, but not a lot of time with their albums. This was a solid if not great album that felt like songs the band enjoyed playing in a roadhouse more than the hits. Morrison’s voice was always magic.

Not what I thought it would be. The Doors are a lot more bluesy than I imagined. Although it starts well it does not carry well through the album. I would pass.

Gg

ritmazo buena voz mola la harmónica y el piano guay

better than expected, 4 stars

it was solid, glad i got to hear a the doors album that wasn’t self titled

Not bad, not a massive fan, but its pretty good still. Only added one song to main playlist. Very good example of its time, and i like the usage of piano.

Was ok.

Can't go wrong with The Doors. This record came after the poorly-received Soft Parade, and was seen as a "return to form" for the band. They chose to do a more straight forward blues sound on most tracks. There are also some solid psych tracks on here as well.

This album is cooler than I’ll ever be.

Backing band was great, but man I do not like Morisson.

Pretty gud

Enjoyed a good bit of the music/instrumentation but wasn't impressed with the lyrics throughout. I think 2-3 songs stood out to me. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why people would like it, but ultimately it just wasn't for me.

It needed in my opinion more of the Classic Doors sound. While I understand it’s important comeback history and the time period I find myself wondering why this album is celebrated. It’s fine to me.

Liked the psychedelic stuff but the bluesy stuff was little mid for me. This album could have been greatly improved with more organ

I'm more of a fan of The Doors' psychedelic sound vs. their blues sound, but this is still quality Doors music. Jim's voice is as prominent as ever and the instrumentation is great. Unfortunately, there just isn't much that really stands out for me.

First song was a banger. Liked the style of the music overall, but the lyrics were so simplistic. I thought Morrison was supposed to be known for being basically a poet. Maybe that’s on a different album?

Good music, balanced mix of jamming with regular song structures. However, overall I didnt find it very catchy, so a 3/5 for me.

Excelllent album, will definitely listen to it again…..many times! 5/5 ⭐️

I really enjoyed this album! I have heard Doors songs, but never looked into them beyond the big hits. This album sounds so good and is very impressive for the era. This is my kind of music. I stray from giving 5 stars out of principle, I reserve that for albums with no skips that really agree with me. This would be 4.5 if possible.

Tykkäsin, juuri sopiva sateiseen keskuspuistoon. Vähän toivoisi, ettei Jim Morrison olisi menehtynyt niin nuorena.

Peace frog is awesome.

Really fine, no single bangers but enjoyable

Solid album was a good listen while I worked.

Unique, dark

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

Solid Blues

Love the Doors

real nice

J’était dans un blizzard d’écouter et réécouter tout les albums des Doors depuis une couple de semaines, pis j’ai vraiment passé vite par dessus Morisson Hotel. Probablement leur plus solide albums après leur premier, le lineup est excellent et tu passe à travers comme dans du beurre

Not bad or anything, just not for me

Epic album. Bluesy and beautiful.

64/100

not a fan

- Only ever listened to self-titled and LA Woman before - Honestly think this is on a par with them - A few songs I didn't like, but the good ones are really good - Fav songs: Peace Frog, Land Ho!, Waiting for the Sun

Great album

Such great memories when I listen to this album again!

Нормесный альбом из 70-х

1. Roadhouse Blues - sounds very 70s with the harmonica. Not too bad. 2. Waiting for the Sun - I’ve heard this before, one of their famous ones. I like it, it’s pretty pleasant for me. Like the verses better than chorus. 3. You Make Me Real - kinda catchy, but not liked his singing in the other two better. I like the piano. 4. Peace Frog - interesting instrumental, sounds really upbeat to me. 5. Blue Sunday - pretty different from the others, but i don’t mind it, definitely not very rocky. 6. Ship of Fools - don’t love this one, it’s not my style. 7. Land Ho! - I like the instrumental but the lyrical styles a little like country almost or something. 8. The Spy - this one is kinda bluesy, not loving it. A bit too slow. 9. Queen of the Highway - I actually quite like this one’s style. 10. Indian Summer - a little slow for me. 11. Maggie M’Gill - I like the guitar in this one, it sounds cool. I’ve never really listened to the Doors before so wasn’t sure what to expect but I quite liked some songs, maybe will explore some other stuff. Some of them were not that rocky which was surprising.

The Doors is one of the greatest bands of all time and although this is one is not one of their best albums it is still better than most.

Pretty good, I like the doors, though this one didn't hit as hard as their singles have for me in the past.

Just a great r&b rock album. If the term existed when it was released the album is packed with bangers.

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.

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.

wasn't feeling blues on a Monday

decent weak start but redeemed itself in the end 7/10
