I like The Doors. They were very popular through the 80's. I know for some reason some people don't take them very seriously. This is not my favorite album of theirs but its good. It seems to run out of steam through the 2nd side. And its missing the one killer tune although some may think Roadhouse Blues is it,; I don't. 3.4
Pretty cool dad rock that is best enjoyed with a side of drugs.
Definitely not my favorite Doors album by far but after the initial 3 boring blues tracks they picked the speed back up. Blue Sunday, Peace Frog, Ship of Fools, Land Ho! and Indian Summer are all great Doors deeper cut tracks.
Неплохой хард рок. Не очень хорошо помню, ну пусть будет...
I'm not a Doors enjoyer but this album was ok! I didn't find any specific songs very memorable but I do like their style/bluesy-ness
Starts of dyno-mite! Not the biggest Doors fan in the world, and though the album is better than several others ones' I've had the displeasure of having to listen to, I know 100s that are better... But that's my opinion...
This was okay overall. I couple real standout songs. Peace Frog is still a favorite.
It's ok, nothing special. I preferred their self-titled record.
Ok, de mondharmonica en piano is fucking vet in Roadhouse blues! Lekkere binnenkomer dit! Daarna een paar standaard rockplaten, voor we weer wat meer bluesy jazzy muziek hebben met Ship of Fools. Ik vind dat duidelijk de betere muziek, de rock kan me een beetje gestolen worden maar de apartere nummers blijven veel beter hangen! Maaaar het grootste deel is toch een beetje nietszeggende rock voor mij. De paar interessante nummers zorgen er wel voor dat ik het leuk genoeg vind voor 3 sterren, maar het is niet hoger voor mij. Gewoon een goed rock album, niets wereldschokkends. FAVO: Roadhouse Blues, Ship of fools, The Spy
I head peace frog before; I liked it. The rest didnt impress.
It was better than LA Woman
Aspettative troppo alte
As poucas músicas boas se destacam, mas como album nada demais. Bem repetitivo
this album is okay. I think I like it more than the self-titled album, but I'ma be real and admit that none of these songs stand out to me. I think I'm too familiar with modern music because music from a certain time period feels like it's lacking.
I like The Doors, and "Morrison Hotel" is a fine album, but I don't think it is their best, and if it made my Top 3 albums of theirs, it would be 3rd. However, I may even put it 4th. So, ultimately, yeah, I think it is good, but I can't really say, at this point, that it is anything I get as excited about as their other stuff that is more poignant and still haunting to this day.
Another Doors album. They honestly had a bigger output than I expected, given how young Jim Morrison died. This met the expectation of a Doors album. It was bluesy, a little psychedelic, and had some elements of harder rock here and there. The organ was back but not quite as prominent as I would’ve liked. But it was just ok. Like I said, it met expectations for a Doors album. Didn’t exceed them, didn’t fall short. It just was. And that’s all I kind of have to say. Three stars. I am whelmed. Also I’ve heard “Roadhouse Blues” waaaaaaaay too many times in stadiums that I just cannot list it as a Standout Track. Sorry not sorry. Standout Tracks: You Make Me Real, Peace Frog, Ship of Fools, Queen of the Highway, Maggie M’Gill
Starts out strong with the first two tracks, couple other good ones scattered throughout, a few stinkers. If this Doors album made the list there's going to be more of them on it. They deserve all the praise and credit but this is not my favorite of theirs. It gets a little "merry-go-round/carnival-esque" at parts but I do like the return to blues. A fun journey and a decent listen.
Side A...yes, Side B...meh. Are all the Doors albums gonna make the list cause this is not their strongest? Roadhouse blues and Peace Frog top the track list. Really only like Maggie McGill on Side B...2.7.
3.5
Sure, the rocky bluesy thing is cool. But it feels a bit one note and some of the lyrics are a bit simplistic for my taste.
Jingle, jangle. Jim Morrison with amazing presence and voice. Otherwise not too memorable for me, and a lot less interesting than their earlier records.
I enjoyed the album but didnt find anything that really stood out to me
Not my fave Doors album.
Maybe 2. They need to calm down yo
There's nothing special in this album. I liked the synth parts (I almost always like those). The album itself is quite good. A few songs were forgettable. I hope the rest of the Doors' discography is better than is. I'll give "Morrison Hotel" 3 stars.
The doors the doors is better
didn’t enjoy this one very much, although I do like other material by The Doors.
At first, I sighed, the Doors.... again. It felt too soon but, all in all this was a pretty good listen, will not put it in rotation -- but good hear.
# 249 : A bit of an over-rated band with some great tunes on occasion. They've done a pretty decent job with this pretty good album though.
Just doesn't hit like it did in HS
An album like driving on the highway in Summer. Sounds kind of nice, right? But when you think about it for more than a second, it's still just driving in a straight line while the seat gets more and more uncomfortable and the AC is blasting because it would be unbearably hot otherwise. Not the worst kind of activity, you might actually enjoy unwinding a bit, but not something I would seek regularly either.
Still don’t love the Doors. But I will admit Morrison is a better vocalist than I had previously given him credit for.
Was better than expected
Waiting for the sun sampled by girl talk very cool
I liked the unserious vibe of some songs. However after some point they started blending into each other and being a bit repetitive. Stand-out: Land Ho!
Always a lot of filler on a doors album.
Roadhouse Blues and Peace Frog are awesome tracks. The rest just sounds a bit lazy e.g. Land Ho. “The Doors? Jim Morrison? He’s a drunken buffoon posing as a poet” - Lester Bangs (The late Philip Seymour Hoffman) in Almost Famous. I took offense to this when I first saw the movie. But the older I get and listen to the Doors, the more I tend to agree.
I was never a great Doors fan. I’ll give the man his due, he certainly has a sultry and other worldly charm, and it carries over into his music; but like a lot of this late 60s stuff it feels rather pedestrian without the assistance of a narcotic haze.
Not 100% my jam, but easy listening. Funky guitar in there
Love the keyboards and some of the drumming. Lyrics are desperately simple and lazy at times which made me cringe e.g blue Sunday. I'm familiar with the Doors but never heard a whole album from them. Nice to delve into their sound but not likely to come back to this one.
Shout out to 13 year-old me for having great taste in classic rock. The Doors are still great, and many of the tracks I had never heard, because I was a greatest hits basic boy.
Good album. Some of the songs were fun and the bluesy influence was nice. 3/5 Might listen again
Ok, some good songs, some a bit samey.
An iconic bluesy/ rocky sound
Nice, better than I thought it might be
This is not my favorite doors album. I still like some moments of it, not the whole thing though. Will I listen to again: 25%
The organ tones are a little too circus-y for me. The blues stuff is ok but there’s not much room in my heart for white guy blues beyond zep and stones
Good listen.
Not a huge fan of The Doors's later works. Other than a few numbers like "Blue Sunday," "Morrison Hotel" is skip worthy.
I have never listened to a full Doors album. I think their saturation and ubiquitous-ness in american culture and cinema in particular has turned me off. After a listen I was taken aback by the power: this album had almost a heavy metal vibe. Morrison is subtler and more gentle at times than I imagined. Don't get me wrong; the animalistic, gutteral howls are there. But he hits different emotions and tones as well.
Not as bad as I thought it would be
Idk, I just couldn't get into it. A few great standouts but it gets kinda boring.
I liked this. Sounded like Neil Hannon at times too. 3.8
Not my favorite Doors album, but it's still the Doors
Better than I expected. It was quite enjoyable, though not something I would often listen to. 3.5 stars.
Ganz cooler RocknRoll
I don't mind The Doors, but I have a pretty low tolerence of 2-3 Doors songs before I get a bit bored. A full album just ain't for me. 3/5
Cuando "Morrison Hotel" fue lanzado en 1970 no fue tan valorado como lo ha sido a posteriori. La banda había decidido innovar incorporando arreglos de trompa y cuerda y, sobre todo, regresar a los fundamentos del blues y el R&B, y la crítica contemporánea no se lo tomó muy bien. Así, el disco abre con un blues estridente titulado "Roadhouse Blues" que es uno de los temas intemporales de la banda. En "Morrison Hotel" permanecen trazas de la psicodelia característica del grupo, fundamentalmente en los cuatro temas compuesto por Jim Morrison, como "Waiting for the Sun" o uno de los que más me gustan, "Peace Frog", con ligeros toques de funky y una letra en la que Morrison habla de la "sangre en las calles" como metáfora de la agitación cívica que se vive entonces en los Estados Unidos. En el sinfín de matices sonoros del disco también encontramos blues-rock ("You Make Me Real"), e incluso algo de jazz y pop ("Ship of Fools"). Otro de los temas que más me gustan del disco es "Queen of the Highway", quizás porque es uno de los cortes más progresivos. Y por supuesto, también "Maggie McGill", concluyendo el disco como empezó, con un blues potente en el que los riffs slide en la guitarra de Krieger se enfrentan en un duelo de ida y vuelta con el órgano distorsionado de Densmore.
It's way upbeat this album. Lots of driving songs with interesting guitar and cool keys. It dies down a bit towards the end. 3.5 rounded down.
When I was younger, I had a ‘Best of the Doors’ compilation which was a pretty good selection of tracks from all eras of the band. However, the track order is burnt into my synapses so that when I hear Roadhouse Blues I expect it to be followed by LA Woman, which is kind of jarring when Waiting for the Sun comes on. Taken as a whole, this is a solid blues rock album although Jim Morrison’s voice sounds much older than the 27 years old he was at the time.
Had a lot of fun with this. Might have been a 3.5 but the second half of the record is a lot weaker than the first.
A couple of stand out tunes but gets a bit boring
I have never listened to an entire Door’s album. I must say that I always had some bad feelings about The Doors, but the truth is that I liked this album! A strange and cool mixture of blues, rock and the keyboard. 🥰
Solid. Hadn’t realised I liked The Doors!
The deeper cuts? Nothing.
Actually don’t know much of The Doors. Cool, not as weird and psyche-y as I expected. Much more bluesy
Por el de al green
Okayy
A few gems... the rest, ok.
Rockin from start to finish
okay i know this is classic classic rock, but it’s a lil too country for me, vv fun but only in a particular vibe
Meh, it was kinda fun
Struggled on this one. LOVE the music, dislike Jim Morrison's singing and lyrics. 2.5/5
bin jz bi queen of the highway und muss sege bin nöd mega begeisteret? abgseh vo the spy woni mega geil gfunde han, isch alles für mich chli z langsam und mengisch "chinderliedmässig" gsi? chammer vorstelle dassmers mit musigtheoretuschen wüsse meh fühlt aber ja bis jz isches naja okay zweiti hälfti gfalltmer um einiges besser jaa trotzden hets wenig in mier usglöst:(
This far from my favorite Doors album. This record stays firmly in "The Doors Sound" with a compelling organ focus and a boozy rock sound. However it all sounds a bit far from what makes the Doors great. With the exception of the standout Roadhouse Blues, Morrison sounds more restrained, and the music feels a bit too influenced by other bands. In some ways this is very cool, to hear The Door's spin on the Beach Boys and the Beatles. But this album is a bit too jazzy, and a bit too much of a stretch from the quintessential sound the Doors became known for in their freshman self-titled record.
Don't care for the doors, but it was not terrible. Just not for me
first track was great, got bored thereafter
Solid 3.5
it was decent
Got a bluesy feel. Kinda liked most of the tracks. I give it 3 stars.
Nice album
I like the doors and Jim Morrison but this doesn't strike me as their best work.
It has some cool songs, not my favorites album but i'll pasa
Was OK. Quirkier than I expected.
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 think their debut album had a better sound.
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:))
Groovy rock, I like the organ inclusion
The Doors Morrison Hotel 66.15 Roadhouse Blues(77) Waiting for the Sun(82) You Make Me Real(60) Peace Frog(85) Blue Sunday(60) Ship of Fools(60) Land Ho!(54) The Spy(60) Queen of the Highway(65) Indian Summer(67) Maggie M'Gill(48)
Meh
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.
I don't think I can give it 4*, but 3 is quite harsh. Solid 72/100.
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
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!
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.
it's fine lol
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
Nothing here caught me... easy listen though.
Better than I expected. Enjoyed it
Quite like the Doors but not their best album
I really expected to hate this, but it was pretty tight. The organ is just a totally uncool instrument though.
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.
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
Solid doors album.
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
Had a few great songs, a few bad songs and a few in the middle.
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.
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
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
Fine. Listenable. Some songs like the Divine Comedy.
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
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.
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.
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.
It's a fine album. Not really my jam.
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.
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
Some really good stuff on that album!
ANother one hit wonder
Classic bluesy rock. 3/5
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.
6/10
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!
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.
Listened to it twice and couldn't tell you a single thing about it
5.5/10 Highlights: Peace Frog Waiting for the Sun
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.
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)
definitely not my favorite. very repetitive.
haven't heard it yet
Nice but not my cuppa
Solid
Good fun, not my fav stuff, similar to previous albums of same genre
Good car music
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.
Gg
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.
This album is cooler than I’ll ever be.
Backing band was great, but man I do not like Morisson.
Pretty gud
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.
Peace frog is awesome.
Really fine, no single bangers but enjoyable
Not bad or anything, just not for me
64/100
Нормесный альбом из 70-х
Pretty good, I like the doors, though this one didn't hit as hard as their singles have for me in the past.
This is the second doors album that I’ve got on the list. It isn’t as cohesive as LA woman, and stylistically It departs a bit with more reliance on piano and dirge like tunes. Nevertheless, it is stylistically interesting - Morrison is commanding as ever, and it tells a story.
Люблю группу "Двери" но этот альбом какой-то... обыкновенный. Вроде все на месте, а переслушивать не хочется Певец Пророк Санбой Прекрасно 6/10
3 stars
Not a massive fan of the roadhouse rock aesthetic of this album. Definitely prefer other albums of theirs. 3/5
The album with "People are Strange" song
unfair listen.
Pretty nice. I liked it.
Great traveling mood music. Doors were always great
I think it had a large variety of song styled and vocals, and I really enjoyed the first few songs. Some were a little too country/folk like for me, however I enjoyed the album as a whole. 3/5
Its slow, just your average album. 3/5
Not their strongest album, but pretty solid all the way through. While not an album I'd say to give anyone to introduce them to the Doors or the greatest of Jim Morrison, likely a wonderful album for those already fans of the Doors.
Pretty good, has that influenced by the beetles sound. 3.5/10
Roadhouse blues- an all time rock classic Waiting for the sun- alright song, repetitive but not doesn't overstay too long You make me real- not very note worthy Peace frog- great vocals and another doors classic Blue Sunday- slower, more mellow song compared the previous songs but not much to say about it Ship of fools- upbeat song about humanities problems and downfall? Land ho- narrative song? Good beat and great vocals, song doesn't overstay it's welcome The spy- song drags on and didn't keep my attention Queen of the highway- good song, fantastic use of keys and guitar sounds great in second half Indian summer- quiet, soft and slow, wonderful build up Maggie m'gill- funky rhythm, strong bass line. Feels like it might be a good driving song.
liked two songs
I want to love the Doors. I have wanted to love them for 40 years. Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krueger blend their sounds together beautifully and create a sound unique to that pairing. Jim Morrison is clearly capable of brilliance. And without a doubt he has one of THE great voices for rock and roll. I also applaud the effort to merge seemingly disparate influences into a sound wholly their own. But, for me, it just too often becomes silly. Hallucinogens can be great catalysts to the imagination, but art requires a lot of sober editing; tearing down and rebuilding. To my ears, it sounds like Jim Morrison NEVER edited. We're left with some really interesting craft work. Finally, while their brand of electric blues can be engaging, one listen to Howlin' Wolf or J.B. Hutto & the Hawks pretty quickly reveals that what these beach boys produce is a pale and too-often silly imitation.
Loved the first half, second half felt a bit repetitive maybe, certainly an album with a unique sound but doesn't diverse much
Me parece un buen disco pero nosé si es top de The Doors.
I always love hearing Morrison's voice. Not my personal favorite by The Doors, but still good.
IDK why but listening to the doors always makes me want to take a nap
The instramentation and chord structures were very interesting. I liked the diversity of styles. However, the lyrics were pedantic at best and non-sensical at worst.
The Doors sound is distinctive but nothing else on Morrison Hotel stands out.
The Doors. This was to be what I expected, which is to say fine.
This was a decent romp through a bunch of Doors songs I mostly don't think I've heard before - so points for being all the good bits of the doors and not the bad cringy bits. Drifted in and out of it. Decent.
I generally like The Doors. This album has some great tracks, and I think it's good exposure. But were The Doors all that important in the history of rock music? I'm not so sure, there was a lot of cultural notoriety that came from Jim Morrison's personality (and shitty behaviour). Probably decent to include at least one Doors album on this list, but I'm not sure if this is the one I would pick.
"Roadhouse Blues" is a great song. The other songs are okay, but not as good.
I put several of their other albums ahead of this one.
Pretty cool
A couple bangers but most of the songs are kind of noodly.
ça s'écoute bien au bureau en tâche de fond. mais assez oubliable
meh
I kinda just wanted it to end by the back half of the album. But still a good time.
Really like roadhouse blues, there are parts of other songs I like, like the bridge in peace frog. But it’s not really the sound I know the doors for, it’s a little too bluesy for my tastes, but it is enjoyable.
Waiting For The Sun // Blue Sunday // Maggie M’Gill 3/5
Note quite what I expected from The Doors. I don't love the blues tracks, but the combination with psychedelic rock is fun.
Started off a 4 but ended up more of a 3.5
I subscribe to the view that The Doors were/are massively overrated whilst still comfortably enjoying this album as being a decent set of songs and a decent sound. I'll just not over rate it.
Ish.
Decent
Alright. Rating it three because the hits are good but the rest I can happily leave.
3,5
I’ve never really got into a Doors album other than their debut. This one had some great stuff on it (Waiting for the Sun and Peace Frog both fantastic) but a lot of quite boring ineffectual blues as well
3.75
After peace frog this kind of just drones on. I didn’t know Roadhouse Blues was the Doors. I expected ZZTop or Bad Company.
Pas évident à juger après avoir déjà écouté L.A. Woman. J'aime la trame de l'album, les chansons se suivent dans un bel ordre. Quelques classiques et des belles notes de blues et quelques surprises. Plus que passable (3.5 facile), mais pas aussi hype que ça aurait pu.
helt ok!
I’m very surprised to learn that The Doors are just very ok for me.
Really enjoy the music on this album not a big fan of Morrison's voice
Perfectly good Doors sound - nothing particularly amazing here in my opinion.
In terms of The Doors output it's not the style I like of them, but it's all find and bluesy. I'd just rather listen to other blues.
Decent album but no classic songs
One of the better Doors albums
Classic psychedelic rock fare. Grateful for the vibes but I’m never delighted when I am faced with going back for one of these. I need to bring context to fully appreciate it because I can get terribly bored unless I remind myself that the music I love is here because this was first. That said, some lovely moments on this one. 10/10 for vibes but a solid 3 from me otherwise.
Tjaaaa.. The Doors zijn wel nice, maar moet zeggen dat dit album me niet echt weg heeft geblazen.
Love the Doors, maar dit album is niet hun beste. 3.5 want alsnog leuke nummers
This is alright. Sometimes silly, sometimes rocking, The Doors are as hated as often as loved amongst friends. I won't seek this out, but wouldn't switch it off if it came on. Amused by the mix of the faux-visionary and the horny, best exemplified early on by 'Waiting for the Sun' being followed by 'You Make Me Real' (horny).
Was ok never listened to them before. When I listened to them it was hard to understand and hear all the details while mowing.
Never really cared for The Doors, but I enjoyed this to a reasonable degree.
I’ve never really listened to the Doors, so this was worthwhile. They’re good at that atmospheric blues-rock thing, aren’t they? But no standouts to make me race back for more of this album, especially when there are several others to listen to.
God, I totally don't know what to do with the Doors... many people go through a Doors phase in their teenage years, which I somehow bypassed, and I am aware that the hip consensus seems to be to sneer at the Doors. Morrison is a pretentious prat and not nearly as deep as he pretends, although he certainly knew how to strut around in leather kecks convincingly -- Iggy Pop, possibly the most compelling rock and roll front man of all time credits Morrison as his inspiration. I acknowledge Morrison's formative influence on rock star posturing, for better or worse. The band are a glorified lounge act, aspiring to bar band status when they get fired up. The lyrics are often pretty naff... and yet, and yet, this record is surprisingly listenable. Most songs are short enough to not outstay their welcome, the tunes are catchy, the band can occasionally rock (although their take on the blues borders on pastiche) and their dynamic interplay is not too bad. The lyrics are not TOO dumb (for the most part). I really want to hate the Doors, but this album is kinda fun. I can forgive the band for this record.
Alright
Today we have an album that I’m hoping will be somewhat promising! I’ve enjoyed each album by The Doors so far (I think) so I’m going into the this wanting to have a good time! Let’s listen and find out. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Peace Frog / Blue Sunday I will say that I did enjoy this album, but there were times that I felt it did stay a little samey. Peace Frog was a very welcome change of pace once it started as the first three songs have all blended into one in my memory. That’s not to say that they were bad by any means, but it was notable that Peace Frog immediately felt different once that guitar started. As usual, Jim Morrison’s vocals were pretty much flawless, and the album was fun overall. Just not quite as memorable as some of the other albums.
вообще не то чего я от дорз/Морисона ожидала... надо ещё слушать
Meh
It was pretty good, not really my music though but the first couple of songs are very catchy
Decent blues album. Not the best material though.
I don't like all of the Doors albums, but this one I enjoyed most of the way through.
The Doors continue to exceed my expectations, at least a little. I’d say I have both more respect and more affection for them as a result of this process. The more bluesy numbers could be any band really, but when they lean into that ‘Doorsy’ sound (by which I guess I mean jaunty rhythms, emphatic chord changes and organ, lots of organ) they definitely stand out from the pack. 3.5 stars.
The Doors have always intrigued me, I know they’re supposed to be awesome but sometimes I just find that they are not. Maybe it’s like Bob Dylan, in that you need to GET it to truly love it. This album was good, Roadhouse Blues is an absolute banger and the rest of the album flows beautifully but without really taking off in my opinion. An enjoyable listen but again, not something I’m desperate to add to my collection.
Good album
Pretty nice. Very much a vibe, just not a vibe I connect to. Cool as background music.
Solid album. Good for doing some work with it in the background. Not my favorite album by them
Enjoyable, but not exactly my taste
3.5/5 Solid album. Starts off strong and energetic and afterwards keeps the same quality throughout the whole album. After the roadhouse blues no song really stood out, but just decent. Favourite song: - Roadhouse blues
Pretty good
Need to give it another listen
Had my head deep in one of The Doors greatest hits albums back in sixth form, and that shit SLAPPED. Today’s album, however, has zero songs from it (except for a live version of Roadhouse Blues, which I’ve come to realise that I prefer it to the studio version). This album is… okay. There are way better Doo’ers songs out there
Mais um disco que serviu para mostrar que minha percepção era um tanto limitada a só pensar nos teclados e na imposição do vocal. É bem equilibrado nas doses de blues com rock psicodélico. Não chegou a agradar como o L.A. Woman, mas mostrou o contexto do hit Roadhouse Blues.
Meh
banco bastante, buena vuelta al proyecto. 7.5/10
3. It's fine. Nothing more nothing less
2/17- Driving to school The Doors stray away from their typical sound here, something that would cause a lot of bigger problems in later albums. Although still carried by Morrison’s haunting charisma and talents, this leaves a lot to be desired from such a revolutionary group.
Not a big doors fan
It's The Doors! This better be good. I do not like the sound of the electric piano they use...
Didn’t get too much out of this but liked the sound. High 3.
Pleasant enough.
Peace Frog lifts this up to a generous 3
Nice, I prefer a few other The Doors albums, but still pretty good.
Much like the previous album, I wasn't sure where to place this one so middle score it is. Had some parts I quite enjoyed but on the whole it didn't really leave a mark on me. Could be worse I suppose.
Not their best, but still worth a listen. 3/5
Bättre än det andra pisse doors man behövt lyssna på men fortfarande inte bra
6/10
Decent blues rock, some really impressive guitar playing, but some so so lyrics from Jim
I have been a Doors fan forever, but with the exception of Peace Frog this was never one of my favorite albums. It doesn’t have that Jim Morrison thing that I’ve come to love, the passion? The heat? I don’t know what it is, but I don’t get it from this album.
Interesting. Sounds like divine comedy. No outstanding tracks. Wouldn’t try again
Solid
Idk, I feel like I should like this more than I actually do.
I hadn’t listened to any Doors really before - apart from the cinema-famous ones. Tbh I can’t see why they were so big - but that’s more my issue than anyone else’s!
J'ai écouté cet album deux fois et il ne m'a pas vraiment laissé d'impression, à part les accents de blues et la voix de Morrison.
I have, for much of my life, found The Doors to be overly hyped, self-indulgent, self-important bullshit. This album doesn't really do a whole lot to change my mind on that, though there are three songs that I really dig (Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog, and Indian Summer - the last despite the fact that it's really kind of a nothing song, but it hooked me nonetheless). That said, there's some definite shit on this album (Blue Sunday: snore; Ship of Fools: more snore; Land Ho! is so bad that I turned it off) What I will say in terms of this album's importance that it ends up on a list like this is that you can definitely hear influences from other artists who came before (Land Ho!, for instance, borrows heavily from Ob-la-di Ob-la-da) and that ended up being passed on to more modern acts (such as how you can hear elements of the opening of Peace Frog in the opening of Smells Like Teen Spirit). So in terms of influenced by and influencer of other acts, it's definitely still relevant even 53 years later.
Ehhhh if you want something to pass the time while you're reading something or taking a train. I give it a 6/10
L.A. Woman is better, but now Waiting For the Sun is one of my favorites. The rest of the album is good, but nothing really captures me.
Not a huge Doors fan, but this was decent.
a decidedly mediocre Doors album. I feel like The Doors are a pretty overrated band in general and this album does little to dispell that impression. 3 stars
Buen disco de rock setentero con melodías sencillas y buena voz. Ningún título excesivamente destacable
Two great songs, the big ones. The others seem too "out there" for me. Just don't hold up. Maybe they lack an interesting tune, like so many of my Doors favorites. Maybe too much of Jim-poetry indulgence without the sheer rock/blues force of the hits. For context I love "The End", I think cause you get a great performance too.
Overall a better album than L.A. Woman, but The Doors are still a heavily overrated band.
rocking roll babey
The songs on this album felt a lot longer than 2-4 minutes a pop. They weren't bad, but a lot of them barely stuck out to me. Still, I really enjoyed a few of the songs on here. I'm hoping I'll like some other The Doors albums more. My favourite songs were Blue Sunday, Queen of the Highway, and Indian Summer.
S'écoute bien mais même si j'aime The Doors c'est pas un album qui m'impression tant dans son ensemble.
No me gustó mucho, también muy instrumental
A few great songs. Otherwise an OK listen at best.
I run hot and cold with the Doors. Their hits definitely are great, the songs that got played on the radio were meant to be, you know? "Roadhouse Blues" and "Waiting For The Sun" definitely are good songs. But then we get to the rest of the album and you wonder what happened. I mean... "Peace Frog?" "Land Ho" isn't too bad, even if does hit the nail right on the head. "The Spy" is ok and so is "Maggie McGill." But OK doesn't really cut it. If you're going to listen to the Doors, their best of is really all you need. The albums have so much "poetry" that really goes nowhere. You shouldn't have to sit through 25 minutes of drek to listen to a couple of ok songs and 2 songs that are really good.
Alright, I better put this right out in the open. I do not like the Doors. Never been a fan of Jim Morrison. His voice doesn't do it for me and if his charisma isn't really there in studio performances. Listening to this album, I just find them boring. I've always liked Roadhouse Blues so that's a plus. And they do put together a decent blues sound. But otherwise the album felt like it plodded along. Not terrible but I still don't get the hype behind the Doors.
It's a fine blues record, and the front half is very strong. The back half is a little dull, and overall they're not doing anything all that innovative. Beyond the first four songs it's pretty slow and also very treble-y. Morrison has a pleasant voice but doesn't show a lot of range or, after the first track, a lot of excitement.
Never had listened to a whole The Doors album. Couple hits not bad over all.
Was ok
There’s some good songs on here just really wasn’t feeling it. Might take a few more listens
Surprisingly good bit not particularly attention grabbing. Some famous songs, a lot of drawling, basically okay - evokes the epriodnwell. But tbh, I can't stand Jim Morrison because he's so far up his own rectum.
Liked it more than I thought I would but still don't really know what some of the lyrics mean
Enjoyed it but preferred the more atmospheric sound of Indian Summer compared to the blues jams the rest of the album includes.
Some good songs but nothing special
