Morrison Hotel

Don't get what people see in this really :(

I've never quite understood The Doors' vibe. I think it's a "you had to be there" thing. There's something sorta sinister about the electric organ they use in so many of their songs that makes their music sound like a bad trip ."Waiting for the Sun" is my highlight here.

This is definitely out of my wheelhouse, but I like the cadence. It has a hippie feel to it, which isn't anything crazy. I do enjoy that my headphones separate the music channels, which helps me immerse myself into the music more.

I think the Doors are overrated. Morrison is a bit of a jerk. Actually more than a bit. Lots of songs sound blues based The Spy is a good song. Morrison’s voice sounds shot. None of the other songs stand out. Average album. Three stars.

I know a handful of Doors songs, and none of them were on this album, which sounds unlike any of those songs. Okay...?

I'm not a massive doors fan, a lot of times it strolls along aimlessly too long I feel. This record is different though, feels really focused. Strong songs all throughout, a classic 70's record

Why is it that every artist of this era that includes a Blues song always has to have Blues in the title specifically? People don't do that with Rock, or Electronic, or whatever. Otherwise, good album. Some great production, very rich voice on Morrison, and overall fun enough. Didn't exactly blow me away though - I do like the Doors generally but it's a sound that suffers a bit in this format. Fav tracks: You Make Me Real, Peace Frog, Queen of the Highway

Things I love: Jim Morrison’s voice, light psychedelia, the organ Things I don’t love: when white rock bands insist on ruining their otherwise great albums by playing half-assed blues 101 music

Enjoyed this much more than I expected to

The Doors have this great distinct sound that can only be them. My mom always had a gripe with them because they didn't have a bassist, but I guess they had a session bassist for recordings and their keyboardist did bass lines in concert. Take that mom. This album is fun, I have a strong affinity for Peace Frog, it's just awesome

Quiza el album mas The Doors que The Doors podia hacer. pdt me gusta The Doors

Lo que daría por hospedarme en el hotel morrison

A lot better than I thought it would be. Definitely didn't age that much. I liked their more bluesy songs a lot more than the rock ones (e.g. Maggie M'Gill) but the rock ones weren't bad. Definitely a fun listen, easily loopable. Took four songs from this album. 4/5 stars.

Pues este me ha parecido top

The opening track is a pretty mediocre blues rock to me . As I mentioned previously in my LA woman review, I prefer the Doors more psychedelic side. That's why Waiting for the sun is much more to my liking. The sound of the verses with the contrast to the choruses is great. 3 is a fun track. No offense to this one. 4 is a good one as well. Has some interesting turns. The second half reminds me of the mysterious nature of their debut album. Great Nice work between guitar and keyboard on Ship of Fools. Great drumming aswell (as in all of the album so far.). Interesting exchanges between darkness and light on track 6. While i prefer the darker side I appreciate the experimentation of the track. The Spy is a nice but not an impressive track. It's good but not memorable. Queen of The Highway is a great little sixties track. Liked this one a lot. Track 8 is my favorite here probably. Just what I want from the doors. A mysterious magical tune with magical guitar lines. Wish it was much longer. Unfortunately the closer is a pretty mediocre rock tune. Not much to write about. I must say I'm very impressed and pleased with this album. The Doors as their whole are probably not really my kind of band (I absolutely love their debut album, as mentioned), but this one contains enough of reasons to like it a lot. Have to mentione as well that the band sounds amazing. They all play great, especially guitar and drums. With keyboard had more place to shine. Really hoped for that. Unfortunately not so. I gave LA woman a 2 , which was a bit harsh. But still think it's a flawed album in many many ways. About the Doors self titled. I just looked And saw that that I gave it a 4 in my 24f review in the game. Today I wonder if it should be a 5. It's a really special one. I think this one deserves a high 3 overall. Ill keep it as that . Have a great day.

Pretty good, too much organ

I’ve heard this before. I don’t own it but it’s in my dad’s collection, so I heard this a lot growing up. I went through all of the Doors albums within the past year or so and I recall this one having some good tracks and not being as cringey as some of their other more ridiculous lizard king ramblings. There are some banger tracks on here and some weaker ones. Some lyrics are goofy but the only truly ridiculous ones are in Peace Frogs with his “fragile eggshell mind” line that he used in a couple at least one other song because he really thought he had something special there. There’s a few songs where the band seems to be reusing lines from their first album, you could chalk this up to being part of their “return to form” after The Soft Parade but it could also mean they were just out of ideas.

I expected to like this, but was disappointed. Peace Frog was the only song that really stood out. Jim Morrison’s singing style/voice was boring and monotonous, and some of the lyrics were pretty cringeworthy. And music itself was nothing to write home about, basic bluesy songs for the most part. Meh.

This band is so overrated. Waiting for the Sun is the only standout song on this album. I find the rest of the songs to be bland and boring, and Morrison's reputation as a poet is baffling. My favorite example from the album: "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind." Just no.

My love is Roadhouse Blues So melodic and reminds me of my teenage years when I first discovered The Doors Fav song: Roadhouse Blues

Love the doors so I had already listened to it🧍‍♂️ love peace frog though

Great album of course but maybe a bit forgettable compared to their others

I’m an unapologetic Doors fan. I’ll definitely go on a tear where they are all I will listen to for days. Everything people say they hate about them — the jazz, the psychedelia, the artistic pretensions — are things I actually think we need more of in rock and roll. But they did it all their own way. Plenty to love in every track on the album.

The Doors have never rung my bell. Some of their songs are ok. This album had nine of them.

I don't even need to listen to this. Unless the song is "The End," and it's 1992, and I've been ripping bong hits for several hours in the Georgia heat, anything done by the Doors immediately ranks as mid.

I had to listen to this 3 times to really figure out if I really liked it. I’m not a Doors fan by nature, so I was surprised to like this pretty well. There are two things that stand out to me: 1. Indian Summer is a great song. Hippie bullshit at its absolute finest. 2. The transition from Peace Feog to Blue Sunday is perfect. I guess this is my favorite Doors album.

Peace Frog may be the only Doors song that doesn't sound dated to me. It's great. And I still like Roadhouse Blues. The rest is typical Doors filler. Adds up to a 3.

3/5 - I'm rarely excited to hear a song by The Doors. Peace Frog is an exception.

Yeah at first i rly didnt like this. Snoozefest. It grew on me slightly but not much

Classic. Full of bangers. Beginning a little stronger than end, but really satisfying listen.

4/10 When the Doors are at their best, they create an exciting blend of pop, blues and psychedelic rock that is swimming with charisma, rhythmic punch and plenty of memorable hooks. Sadly, this album falls well short on pretty much all of those metrics. While the performances are consistent and competent throughout, there is a fairly plodding, uneventful beige wash that permeates the soul of the record, from which it struggles to raise its head. While there are moments that Jim Morrison’s undoubted charisma peeks above the surface, for the most part he appears to be approaching this album in quite a lackadaisical way, with a lazy drawl and none of the fire and passion that characterises his most standout work. The rest of the band also have their moments, but there are also quite a lot of examples where things seem to just ramble along in a fairly generic, repetitive way that failed to capture my focus and stick in my mind. When they took time to step aside from the more generic blues-rock sound that much of the record showcased, they did start to bring a little bit of Doors sparkle and style to proceedings, but those moments were fairly scattered, and even then, I’d say that these cuts weren’t up to the standard that the group had set on previous records. Ultimately, I don’t think there was much about this album that really stuck with me and it ended up feeling like they were just writing and playing in a holding pattern, rather than trying to take strides in any particularly innovative or exiting direction. Apparently people love this album, but for me, if you took the Doors name off the cover, it would likely be viewed as a fairly by the numbers blues rock record that failed to make waves and would ultimately have been forgotten. Roadhouse Blues - It’s decent enough blues-rock fare, but it’s also fairly generic and repetitive. There’s obviously a level of charisma to Jim Morrison’s delivery, and it’s well performed with a decent amount of swagger and grit, but ultimately, it’s a fairly run-of-the-mill track that, while a decent example of the genre, doesn’t really offer anything to make it stand out beyond that. Waiting For The Sun - This is a little better as it leans a little more towards the psychedelic, particularly with the lovely addition of a basic Moog synth line. It’s a touch on the plodding side, but there’s at least a bit of musical and soundscape interest to the production that makes it sound more like the Doors than a more generic blues-rock band. It still doesn’t go as far as it could, but there are some really nice moments in there. You Make Me Real - Another that’s a bit more generic. There’s a bit more swagger and attitude from Morrison, and some decent riffs, but it all feels a bit like it’s been plucked from the setlist of any old dirty blues band. There’s nothing particularly hooky about it either, despite those decent riffs, so it all just sounds very standard. Peace Frog - This sounds more Doorsy straight out of the gate. The return of the characteristic organ sound is good and the shuffling swagger to the groove is cool too, with a nice switch up of emphasis into the chorus. There’s much more subtlety to the playing here and the composition is far more interesting than the more generic blues we’ve been given up to this point. It’s not their best work, but it’s at least a fairer representation of what they can do as a band. Blue Sunday - A stripped back one now that relies more on Jim Morrison’s vocal talents. It’s nice, has decent enough melodic moments but also feels a bit plodding and lazy in a way that doesn’t quite connect in the carefree way that I think they were intending. Ship Of Fools - This is quite meandering and unfocused. I’m not really sure what they were going for here, but it just feels musically cluttered and lacking in direction, kind of like a jam that hasn’t quite gone the way any of them were really expecting. It’s not very good. Land Ho! - We continue to ramble around in a way that’s half way between a nursery rhyme and a blues track. It’s somehow repetitive and unfocused at the same time, with the underlying musical structure just rolling round and round endlessly, while they noodle around on the guitar and vocal over the top. Very weird and also not very good. The Spy - Yet another fairly plodding and uninventive little ditty. It’s too staccato to really flow in places and, while I quite like the easy, jazz-blues nature of the verses, there’s nothing here to really stand out as being special or particularly interesting. I think I may have liked this a little more as part of a stronger set, but after the last couple of tracks, a sense of ennui has crept into the album and rather than being a nice diversion, it just feels a bit bland. Queen Of The Highway - Finally, things pick up a bit. It’s still not the Doors at their best, but there’s decent groove, some interesting counterpoint between the different lines and a good bit of swagger and fun to it too. It’s cool and has a sense of adventure and a return of charisma, not only from Morrison, but the band seem to have found a touch of that old mojo again. Indian Summer - A drifting, more melodically and harmonically rich composition now. It’s back to the more hippy sound of their more psychedelic work and while it drifts in and out of focus, it does feel a bit more purposeful and directional. Again, it’s not their best work, but it’s not as generic as some of the weaker cuts on this album. Maggie M'Gill - Again, this is fairly generic bluesy stuff that doesn’t really do anything particularly exciting or standout. It’s good for what it is, but it feels a touch lazy really and quite repetitive. Some of the call and response from the guitars is ok, but it’s dragged out to a point where it becomes a bit dull and uninspiring. A fairly meh end to a fairly meh album.

Enjoyed the first half that felt more bluesy than the more mellow sounds in the second half. Liked You Make Me Real and Peace Frog.

I like The Doors quite a bit. I wouldn’t call myself a fan per se, seeing as Morrison Hotel seems like an essential album of theirs and this is my first time listening. I’ve heard a few of these tracks just out in the wild. All together, I’d say it’s very good stuff, but not quite as triumphant as their self titled or LA Woman. I’ll give this a few more listens.

CIA music goes kinda hard. I enjoyed it

Very doors. Not my favourite band, but it's not bad. Ultimately a 3, no single track stands out as anything I would go back to, but I'm reserving 1s and 2s for things which are actively bad.

Heard for the first time back when I was 13 returning to the singles and odd album track but never a full album re listen. Until now

Typical 70s sound, funky, sth youd hear in a bar, i like Blue Sunday and Indian Summer

Rating: 4.7/5 Short Review: Bluesy, confident, and surprisingly grounded for The Doors. Less psychedelic circus, more late-night barroom swagger. The band sounds tighter and more focused than on some of their earlier records. Favorite Track: “Roadhouse Blues.” One of the greatest driving songs ever recorded. Effortless cool.

I prefer psychedelic Doors to blues Doors (most of the time) but Waiting For The Sun is great.

como m gustan los 70’ssss. album q pasarian en un bar, ruta. blues y rock. es un poco sensual al mismo tiempo

Espresso + a gallon of water

I had the impression that The Doors had a more psychedelic sound, and maybe they do in other albums. Did not expect this to be as bluesy as it was but loved it.

Not the best of The Doors albums, but still very solid

First half was good, but then it was boring

First half was good. Lost momentum

the doors is a band that ive found very pleasant to listen to actually but i had never listened to this album. its very similar to their earlier works, songwriting is great and what sets them apart is the early psychedelic riffs and melodies that stick with you. waiting for the sun has become my favorite song in that album, overall the track would make a great roadtrip listen. jim morissons mental voice is remarkable too

Roadhouse Blues is nice after listening to a bunch of other albums of Brits pretend to be raucous american blues bands but I'm just not high enough for the rest of this album.

Good vibing music and upbeat. Enjoyed the album, but not going to be a frequent listen.

cool

Classic rock catches a lot of mostly justifiable flack for being overplayed, overrated, pale, male and stale. Given that it's refreshing and somewhat reassuring to listen through an album of a classic rock band you mostly know from singles and find that it does, in fact, rock. It is fun, muscular, propulsive, groovy, swaggering, shaggy, slightly sinister, with a lived in feel and dusty analouge sheen. The music lopes and choogles along at a good clip, the guitar and keys interplay through raw blues and Eastern - influenced motifs, and the vocals sound like they come from a grizzled and world wearly 40 year old crooner, not a drunk 27 year old acid freak. All in all I enjoyed this a lot. It's fun, which is not what I assume when you think of The Doors (instead I think of naval gazing teenage poetry and organ noodling {double entedre intended}).

You know what, fuck it the Doors still kinda rule. It's been two hundred albums since my last Doors album and this holds up and rocks much more than so much else on this list.

not my current taste kinda contry

I'm a fan of The Doors, but was not really familiar with this album. I'm glad I listened to this cause I really enjoyed it and it makes me want to continue to explore The Doors further. I'm a sucker for the organ. Favorite Track - Peace Frog Least Favorite Track - Blue Sunday ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Morrison Hotel is a return to form for the band back to their loud and proud sound like on their debut album. This album really shows just how much this band loves their organ because they use the ever-living shit out of it on this album. I think that this album really excels in a much more appealing "fun factor" that some other albums like Waiting for the Sun and Strange Days really lack. I do think that the song compositions are dumbed down a lot, but made into nice easy tracks to digest. For example look at Peace Frog and tell me that song isn't an absolute banger, or the very black sheep Indian Summer that feels way to cool and relaxing for this project. It is also kind of funny to me that Waiting For The Sun didn't even make it onto the album of that title but instead was saved for 2 albums to be put on this project. I guess it was too good to be used up then and wanted to be saved for a much better project? All in all Morrison Hotel is a project that shows that The Doors can go back to their original sound if they want to, but they choose to continue being weird and thriving in their own experimental lane.

3.75

Really enjoyed, not as much as the debut though.

Its an ok album but would have preferred to listen to their first album as it has more recognisable songs. either way, this still feels a bit too bluesy for me

indian summer is like the only song by The doors ive enjoyed so far

Getting a lot of albums I listened to extensively in my teens lately, still really like this one but compared to the string of bangers we've had this is not quite a 5

Seems a pretty good split between blues you can imagine anyone carrying off well and playing with a fun mix and palette of sounds.

After we got Spirit before any Doors, I’d been patiently waiting to get a better show of this sound and scene and thank god it’s here. It’s a good thing I’ve spent a while inoculating myself from a lot of Jim Morrison’s poet quirks, so I can mostly just vibe with the Doors’ sound, and what a sound it is here. Heavy in on that LA counterculture blues that they probably did the best, really guitar forward on a lot of these but backed up well across the board. Roadhouse Blues is a killer opener, Peace Frog one of their best tracks. Gets a bit more psychedelic in places, particularly the back half which is also a bit shaggier for me, but they’re still doing it well ultimately - it is the Doors and all that.

Pretty good so far; sounds familiar cool piano intro very bluesy

One of the more forgettable The Doors album. but it still holds up I think. It's not amazing but the quality is solid and Morrisons voice is great. Organ get a bit annoying at times but not overwhelmingly.

It was interesting to listen to, since it's not what I usually listen to, it reminded me of one of my brother who actually recommends songs like these to me. For me 2.5/5 Objectively: 3.7/5

Second of three Doors albums in this experience and going chronologically too! While I don't think this album is as good as their first album it still is a solid slab of blues rock and a nice next step in my Doors listening journey. "Roadhouse Blues" is one hell of a way to open an album and was fun to be the first thing I heard on a Monday morning. 4/5

Fav Songs Waiting for the sun - This song is sickk Solid album, Not one bad song but probably about a 6.5 for me, I just like something abit more faster paced. If I liked this type of music more I would probably bump up the rating because it does its job perfectly.

Gritty, grainy and hazy. Psychadellic and hard-driving. Lacks a level of sophistication in the lyrics, but doesn't really need it.

Something special

Nice and solid, some good tracks. I'm giving it a 4 but I think it's just personal preference and/or nostalgia that raises it from a 3.

дверь мне запили

I have grown up with a strong dislike for The Doors, perhaps based unfairly on songs like Light My Fire and others with excessive and ultimately annoying keyboard solos. However, I have to say this one surprised me a tad. I did struggle to separate my inherent prejudice against the band and listen to the music objectively. Perhaps I needs a second listen, but I really don’t want to. Better than expected.

Some ear-catching guitar work but also pretty plodding. I can’t decide if Land Ho! is hokey or hearty.

Mucho bom

I like bluesey doors. Ray Manzarek needs better keyboards, though.

Stunning Rock n Roll from a top band

= The Beatles there are a few greats on here but overall...

Favorite Track: Blue Sunday

75

mid- rock, I just did not enjoy this album. i’m not an across the board hater of the vox continental, but i don’t like how The Doors use it, especially in this album. they are just very of the era and i don’t think it stands the test of time like some of their other songs. it’s not awful, just not the classic rock album i’d put on if i had the choice

Not a ton of notes here, just a pretty good blues rock album

This was fine. I am not unfamiliar the Doors, but I also don't really ever find myself turning to them to fill the silence. Can never go wrong with the keys. Some nice bluesy rock. Some nice chilled down moments.

not really their best album... again, one doors album should be enough on this list

Blues rock, psychedelia, R&B.

The Doors are always more Blues than I expect. Enjoyed this a lot

3.5/5

Love, of course.

I enjoyed this more when it sounded closer to classic blues rock and less when it sounded like The Doors

quick album. deserves four stars just because of the hidden gem "Peace Frog". of course, you have the classics, "Roadhouse Blues" and "Waiting for the Sun". other good songs "You make me feel real" and "Land Ho".

Wow!! This was really good! Never heard most of the songs on here which surprised me. This was a really good mix of songs, each one unique. So fast, slow, guitar, keyboard, rock, psych, really enjoyed it.

Liked the alblum. Very bluesy. Probably why I enjoyed. It was good hearing Doors non greatest hit songs.

Can’t beat classic Doors

Didn't like it as much as I did when I first heard it, but still a pretty good time overall.

"Roadhouse Blues" and "Peace Frog" were absolute bangers. I love Jim Morrison's voice, it's so clean and elegantly American. The subject matter of this album is so uniquely post-hippy as well. It came out one year after the iconic Summer of '69. It's got themes of materialism, monogamy, American maritime, and the music is heavily influenced by Blues. It's not my favorite Doors album, but it's definitely not the worst on this list so far. 7/10

A classic amongst classics.

This one's an all timer. The Doors could easily have 5 albums on this list as they are one of the greatest American rock bands. If someone tells me they don't like the Doors I squint at them like a suspicious chihuahua knowing they aren't trustworthy. Listen to Peace Frog until you get it. Straight mojo.

Moody but not too melodramatic. I had a productive morning listening to this one.

I hate the Doors. I hate the Doors so much.

Okay I was going into this album fully expecting to hate it, because I was only really exposed to stuff like Riders on the Storm, but this was a really tight, enjoyable listen. Jammy without being self-indulgent. A bit too 'blues-rock' for me at points but otherwise this actually rips. The first track sounds almost Sabbath-y. Sorry for my unwarranted Doors hate.

70's rock has never been my thing, but it was cool to listen to such a legendary band for the first time. not a fan of the organ or his singing voice, sadly. favourite song: indian summer

Yes. Thank you to generator for an entry laced with a few bangers. The Spy was totally stalkery, but not in a skeezey way, in my brain anyway. I am somewhat a Morrison fan. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Enjoyable blues rock. Added a few tracks to my 1001 albums bangers playlist.

You either love or hate The Doors. I'm happy to say I'm in the first group.

Wasn't aware the Doors had made an album like this, it doesn't really sound like their previous more psychedelic music, much more blues rock. Enjoyed it - Peace Frog was a highlight

emanates a racist aura

An incredibly cool album from start to finish. Love the bluesy rock and roll sound. Some great guitar riffs, I found my foot tapping and head bopping throughout a lot of this. A solid 3.5/5.

Good but not cake-taking, it's a decent rock album for listening with some extra excitement in the first few tracks

The album is fine overall, I really just am not a fan of the 60’s organ sound that is in everything. It sounds so goofy to me and I don’t get why it’s everywhere.

jako dobro i ugodno slušanje. premda nema taj klasično-kultni status, možda čak i bolji od njihovog prvenca. barem meni znatno više bluzast, što je sasvim neloše. izraženija prisutnost bas-gitare i više je nego dobrodošla

Realized I like the doors

already listened to the doors but I haven't heard this album before

Doesn’t quite reach the heights of their debut album, but still very very good.

It's not bad, it sounds like the kind of music my dad and nonno listen to though. Not really my kind of thing

The Doors — and Jim Morrison in particular — have always been one of the bands for which I just didn't get the hype. I don't hate them, I just don't see why they get so much love. I like "Roadhouse Blues," and it occurs to me on repeated listening that what grabs me is the _piano_, which of course is not Ray Manzarek's usual instrument.

Love the Doors, really enjoy this album.

i have this on cd 😛😛

(2.5) i found the album a bit hit or miss. i really liked the bass in peace frog

Solid

buen ritmo

Scratchy, rugged, soulful rock and roll with lots of distorted punchy synth and guitar. Album slowly winds down into more soothing grooving melodies but roadhouse blues is a standout favorite for me

A classic.

Nothing insanely good, but very listenable.

Legendary album. A classic for a reason.

favs: waiting for the sun you make me real the spy rating 1.4/5

Decent album

Was expecting something... more? It was not boring, don't get me wrong, but I was left wanting more.

Not bad

bluesy and groovesy i think i like their other albums more tho

Never been a Doors fan and after listening anew I'm still not. I think the soundtrack in hell is Jim Morrison singing "I woke up this morning and had myself a beer" over and over

Meh, it was fine. Nothing too significant or special here.

Not the best Doors i have heard

4.5

Bah franchement ? pas mal. ça s'écoute bien

Another ground breaking album. Noisy, dissonant and but buried surf riffs, velvets and tribal drums. Shook the world up!!

peace to all my frog homies 3.5 que baja a 3

I didn't love the super-psychedelic, organ-centred sound of their debut much but, much like L.A. Woman, this was loads better. More guitars, more riffs, bigger sound and bluesy. Lots of that good, dirty, dirty blues. Enjoyed it.

Back in high school and college it felt like everyone but me loved The Doors. They all raved and idolized Jim Morrison, who I thought just seemed like an asshole (RIP). This was the album most cited as their favorite. So I went into today's listen with a lot of trepidation. It turned out that I already knew every song on side 1, having heard them all on classic rock radio back in the day. Taken separately I never cared much for any of them, but as a whole I began to kind of like it. By the end of side one I was thinking that I'd been wrong for all of these years. I knew none of the songs on side two, but as each one played I was getting some actual enjoyment from listening. I've said it a few times in the almost year that I've been doing this project. This album is indicative of the reason I'm doing it in the first place. It's all been about discovery and getting past my biases. I don't know that I actually like The Doors, but I did like Morrison Hotel very much.

I already had roadhouse blues the rest of the album Is meh

Its interesting might get me and the gm to listen

boring

Roadhouse Bluse, Peace Frog, and Maggie M'Gill are all great blues rock songs. It's all the other stuff I can't stand.

I definitely didn’t NEED to listen to this before I die, as the book this list is based on suggests. The Doors songs are so hit or miss. Couple decent songs on the album, but I’m fine not listening to this one again.

When originally released on vinyl, this record was split into two distinct halves: "Hard Rock Cafe" and "Morrison Hotel". Each side plays to the band's strengths as a tight, blues-oriented quartet and represents a clear departure from the experimental arrangements of their previous album. Sonically, the album is well produced, written, and arranged. The standout is the opening track, ‘Roadhouse Blues’ - a blues shuffle that has been frequently covered for good reason. However, the specific feel, impact, punch, and rawness of this opener never quite carries through into the remaining tracks until the closing track 'Maggie M'Gill', although 'The Spy’ does run 'Roadhouse Blues' a close second, though for different reasons, offering a more sultry and atmospheric experience. Overall "Morrison Hotel" is an interesting and cohesive album; it is a fine listen, though it stops short of being truly compelling or essential. While it is a strong collection, The Doors rarely maintain a level of brilliance that feels consistent from track to track. Four stars. Side one: Hard Rock Café 1 "Roadhouse Blues" (5/5) 2 "Waiting for the Sun" (4/5) 3 "You Make Me Real" (4/5) 4 "Peace Frog" (4/5) 5 "Blue Sunday" (3/5) 6 "Ship of Fools" (3/5) Side two: Morrison Hotel 1 "Land Ho!" (4/5) 2 "The Spy" (5/5) 3 "Queen of the Highway" (5/5) 4 "Indian Summer" (3/5) 5 "Maggie M'Gill" (4/5) Total - 44 Average - 4.00 323/1001 176/323 albums reviewed were new to me.

Didn’t do a whole lot for me

3.8

It's not their best album but even the lesser tracks are incredibly listenable. And the Doors were so special that they deserve all the love. John Densmore is one of the greatest rock drummers who never gets much love. But up there w Ginger Baker imho.

I enjoyed this even more than the self-titled. Possibly underrated; certainly makes me want to discuss The Doors more.

Alright, you know?

As is usual with doors albums, hard not to like. I think I felt I was vibing this the whole way through, it ended sooner than I thought but nothing really stayed with me except the opening track. Still would put it on again because it’s such a good vibe all the way through. This era of production is my favourite

It wasn't bad but none of the songs really stuck with me if I am being honest. I walked around Denver near my house after work and it made for some pleasant walking around music.

Classic album been part of the soundtrack to my life.

strong start, got bored as it went on

A curates album. (Good in parts)

1- blues do faroeste; sinners se fosse só branco typevibe 2- rock melancólico 5- balada dos filmes que toca no prom onde os casais todos dançam. Este casal acabou de discutir. ela esta com a cabeça no peito dele com a maquilhagem borrada e o cabelo despenteado. ele pousa o queixo na cabeça dela com um olhar profundamente triste, "she is my girl"

Good

I’ve long appreciated The Doors for just a few songs, so I was hoping to discover more to like here. I just found myself frustrated. Jim Morrison has such a wonderful voice when it’s used well. His vocals on Waiting for the Sun and Blue Sunday are great examples. Then there’s others like Roadhouse Blues and Maggie M’Gill where it’s just kind of wretched. Those two, You Make Me Real, and Land Ho! are all terrible. When I can stand the vocals, even some of those songs aren’t that great. There’s nothing here on the level of Light My Fire, The End, People Are Strange, The Crystal Ship, etc. I can’t see this being anyone’s favorite Doors album. If it is, I probably don’t need to see the rest of their record collection. The lightest of 3s.

4/7

I was going to rate this lower, but the ending of the record changed my mind. This is one of those albums that sort of make me look for the lyrics. Morrison's vocals are charming in many ways; his voice manages to sound calm and powerful at the same time. That's the first record of the band that I have listened to in full, and I must say that, considering it's 56 y.o., it sounds so original. Take Maggie M'Gill with its minimalistic music. Morrison Hotel made me feel what quality rock sounds like, and I'm glad to feel that again. There are many fav picks from this relatively short release, effectively half of the whole record. I'd highlight Queen of the Highway and Indian Summer, the two short songs from Side two that are... so poetic, brief in lyrics and purely skillful in music. Great album, my 50th on the 1001 list. Gonna listen to it again.

The spy is groovy as shit and maggie M grill Crazy groves There are some low lights for me, sometimes Jim singing feels lazy, Not my favoruite album but there are songs in here I have never before and they are awesome

En del riktigt bra låtar, men känner verkligen att The Doors är ett band där det räcker att lyssna på greatest hits

Coolt ändå även om jag inte helt föll för helheten.

Förstår att det är inflytelserikt o viktigt, ibland balla riff o najs sound men inte superintressant för mig.

Stark trea.

It's very fine. Gets sleepier as it goes on.

it's 3.75

Absolute classic. Peace Frog.

This is so slight bluesy that it almost feels like they were doing a nostalgia cover album like Lennon's Rock 'N' Roll. Not as captivating as their debut, but still a fun ride.

a classic the transitions are so seamless wow

I think generally anything created before the mid 70s isn't for me. This is too blues-y for my taste tbh

Muy bueno, no del todo mi estilo pero un clasico

Standard Doors music, bluesy piano rock

Almost a 4

Still classic. Robby Krieger doesn't get the accolades he deserves as he's overshadowed by the myths of Jim Morrisson.

its pretty chill this is something you'd hear in a old cowboy themed restaurant (I forgot what its called okay..)

i LOVED the doors in high school. some memories are best left in the past. edit post listen: this is less cringe than i had expected. maybe that's just nostalgia.

mi è piaciuto, 7,8/10

Really enjoyed this. It was first time listening and I always associated The Doors with being a bit doom and gloom. I was pleasantly surprised by how light it was

For the Doors' debut album I wrote this: "I know it's become somewhat fashionable to hate The Doors and Morrison, but I don't care. I love this band and I love this album. Incredible that it was their debut. 'I Looked at You' may be the only weak spot?" I'm not sure you need to hear multiple Doors albums before you die, but I guess 1000 is a lot of albums. This album isn't quite as strong as the debut in my mind but still VERY good.

nicht meine musik. mir geht die country schiene auf die nerven so langsam.

An album that first baffles with its astonishing overratedness before transitioning into continuous boringness, ultimately leading the listener into a state of sleepy indifference. I look forward to the day when all fans of The Doors have passed from the earth and we no longer have anyone left to advocate for this band’s inclusion on lists like this.

I get the Doors hate, I really do. But there’s a difference between disliking the Catholic Church and being molested by them. Jim Morrison never touched my butthole, so I don’t have to think about him that often.

Well that happened. It was better than expected but nothing to write home about.

Net wel net geen 5, idk

deep doors sounds

Cool bluesy vibe. Some nice sounds between saucy guitar/ bass licks and that organ that features heavily throughout. The more energetic and up-tempo songs appeal to me more but like it overall. Vocals have a smooth old-timey and nostalgic sound to them. Feels like an album to drink a beer to.

Está realmente bien, pero la verdad que no me parece tan relevante o que aporte nada, como para quitarle el sitio a algún otro album de algún grupo más desconocido. Es decir, estoy seguro que están el The Doors y el LA Woman, con esos nos bastaba

This must have been cool back then, but I think it sounds kind of banal today. It did not age as well as some other albums from the era.

Liked the genre and instruments and most of the songs, would listen again.

I like how crude it is

i like the doors but there's a reason my only record is a compilation album. fav: peace frog

Honestly didn't like this one as much as my last Doors album. Less hits (Roadhouse Blues is great) and more oddly-structured organ-heavy anthems that tend to drag. Some good and some bad. Overall 2.5 to 3 out of 5

Rock psichedelico, blues vabbè i doors li conosciamo. Tracce preferite peace frog e roadhouse blues

I always said I didn’t like the doors, however I never really took the time to listen to them, but I never let my position of ignorance stop my ability to criticise something. Turns out I was right, largely boring, I think if Jim Morrison didn’t die the people wouldn’t hold The Doors in such high regard. Maybe in the context of the history of music around the time they made more sense, but this album was pretty lack luster tbh, I can hear where Geese pull some of their music from (derogatory). “Woke up this morning and got myself a beer” is a banger of a line though so good for them. Also listening to this album reminded me of the Skrillex/ Doors collab song, which is hilarious.

Good album, with one popular song, but really easy listening album from start to finish. You can hear the change from their earlier stuff, but still as the same musically sound.

Fire

not for me sorry doors

I definitely didn’t NEED to listen to this before I die, as the book this list is based on suggests. The Doors songs are so hit or miss. Couple decent songs on the album, but I’m fine not listening to this one again.

I find The Doors a bit overrated. First and last tracks were really good but I could take or leave the rest.

This isn't the Doors best effort, good but not what I would call great.

1970 American rock

Strong, stirring start with crunchy guitars, toe-tapping bass lines and honky-tonk piano, but descends into a fever dream of an album which lacks depth. By the time you reach Indian Summer (apparently the first song ever recorded by The Doors, but one that didn't make the first album cut) it's a mess, the lyrics are the output of a 5yo, and the instrumentation masquerades as psychedelic and moody, but is weak an uninspiring. 2 stars.

Not bad, overall stronger album than L.A. Woman

album #40 definitely enjoyed this more than LA Woman. Some real fun moments throughout, and the vocals in maggie m'gill are pretty cool. as i said with LA woman, there is simply better blues rock out there. jim morrison is very clearly carried by the musicians he surrounds himself with, and you could easily replace him and there would be little difference. i liked some of it, but i do not think this deserves its place on the list! ꩜ average track rating: 2.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): roadhouse blues, maggie m'gill ꩜ least favourite track(s): indian summer, the spy ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,049 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 24 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 31

I dug the vibe and totally get Jim Morrison’s appeal!

Pretty good but nothing like their other albums.

Blues is not a sound I associate with The Doors at all, but I think the style suited their voices and musical talent. The album was missing something for me, although I enjoyed my listen overall! Favorite tracks: You Make Me Real Peace Frog Land Ho! Indian Summer

She Came In Town And Then She Drove Away 1001 Albums Generator 277 (4/24/2026) Way more bluesy than the other two Doors albums that I've heard, and since it is largely missing that pyschedelic edge that makes The Doors so special, I think it is worse than the other two. But it's not bad at all; Waiting For The Sun, You Make Me Real, and Peace Frog is a fantastic three-song run. The second half is weaker, but Land Ho! is a great country rocker and Indian Summer is a nice psychedelic raga rock tune. Morrison Hotel isn't as good as L.A. Woman or The Doors' monumental self-titled debut, but it's still a solid rock album. 3.5/5, rounded up to a 4. Favs: Waiting For The Sun You Make Me Real Indian Summer Least Fav: Blue Sunday

do drugs, that's the lesson

grandisima banda no tan gran album

Not a bad album at all. I enjoy the Doors. This one isn't their best in my opinion though, but very listenable.

I’d stay here.

Gran álbum rockero, con excelentes arreglos. Voz dominante y un Groove que te acompaña en toda la aventura. Un clásico, Roadhouse blues.

The doors don’t deserve two albums on this list, especially if this is the second one.

wait you're telling me 3 doors down wasn't a cover band with missing members?

i fuck with it. groovy and not crazy upbeat but still danceable.

Didn’t think I liked the doors but this was great

Had Morrison Hotel on repeat from 17 to 19. great memories and it still holds up

It's decent. I like Jim's voice . I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. 3.5

Not bad but very samey

It was just ok. The doors are good but not great.

Far from their best work but still an enjoyable record. 3.5

I would really give this album a 3.5/5 if I could, but I'll choose a 4 since I liked this album before having to listen to it here. There are some great tracks on this album (Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, Peace Frog, Maggie M'Gill) but I found the rest of the album to be pretty lackluster. Still worth the listen, but not the Door's best work

Boring

Like all the doors music, I find this incredibly bland, boring, and self-indulgent

love that bluesy rock sound.

Tanto este como un par de los discos anteriores me traen recuerdos de la adolescencia. Nunca fui muy fan de los Doors pero habia gente cercana que si. A mi siempre me parecieron una buena banda pero no me identifique nunca con lo que proponian.

indian summer me gusto el resto zzz

I don’t love this as much as L.A. Woman or The Doors, but the band’s blues-y psychedelia is always welcome. 3.5?

Delightfully bluesy, definitely had me wiggling/tapping my foot.

Pretty good album overall. Not really my thing but I can see why it’s up there. A good mix of blues and rock.

ниче не добавил но в целом вайб имеется

I totally get why some people think this is awesome. I, unfortunately, do not. Honestly, I find it quite boring. And not all blues rock, mind you. Just this. Just The Doors. Morrison sounds so disinterested it's laughable - honestly, everyone does, besides the guitarist. Can't stand the keyboard. I enjoyed the second half of this album more than the first. The better songs were Land Ho!, The Spy, and Peace Frog. I'm still giving it a 6/10 because I think it would be way better live, and I don't think it's the worst anyway. Just considering how acclaimed The Doors are, I always expect more from them than I get.

yok

Lo escuché mientras hacia lo de morfo

Featuring the criminally underrated talents of John Densmore.

7.5/10

Pretty good

The Doors seem to encapsulate the fraught emotions and anxieties of the dying 60s more viscerally than most bands of the time – whether or not in the ways that Jim Morrison intended (is that self-awareness on “Maggie M’Gill”??). Their songs have a pulsing urgency that gives the record much more lasting power than your average white-boy-blue-eyed soul. But then again, my feelings about these albums are so dependent on context, and I happen to be listening to this one outdoors on a beautiful sunny day.

Roadhouse Blues is such a great opening track. Dropping the needle down on this record and hearing that opening guitar riff...so good. The album fluctuates from there. Riddled with Morrison weirdness, some psychedelically far out (Waiting For The Sun, Indian Summer) and others just plain dumb (Land Ho!) Morrison Hotel is a real sine wave of an album. Regardless of what I said about the first track, Peace Frog/Blue Sunday will always be my favorite track. So freaky, so groovy

Pretty good

Pretty meh tbf 5/10

I didn’t enjoy this, not awful but I didn’t want to finish it

Can't say I'm too familiar with the work of the Doors, but I really liked this. Pretty straight forward blues/psychedelic rock, carried by Jim Morrison's iconic voice. I'd say that the second half is definitely a lot weaker than the first but I dont think there was a song here that i outright hated. A pretty strong album overall, even though I'm sure this is far from this bands best. Fav Songs: Roadhouse Blues, Waiting For The Sun, You Make Me Real, Blue Sunday Least Fav: The Spy 8.3/10

Mr mojo risin

Now here’s an album I can really start the week to!! I am very familiar with this band, but not really this album. I don’t actually recognize any of these songs besides “Roadhouse Blues”. Could be the reason this is the lowest rated of the 3 The Doors albums on the site. I think that’s a strong possibility. Speaking of, this is also the first of 3 The Doors albums that I’ve listened to for this project so far. I have 6 of the Top 10 Popular The Doors songs saved to my Spotify already, and I’m looking to add some more soon. The big hit on this one is the opener, the previously mentioned “Roadhouse Blues”. What did I think of it?? It’s peak, obviously. You’re never going to find me saying a single bad thing about Jim Morrison. In fact, I would argue he’s one of the best singers of all time. I don’t know what it is about these guys, they’re just a special level of iconic that most other bands strive to be. You can tell them apart easily from everyone else even if you don’t know you’re listening to a song by them just by listening to the lead vocalist. If it’s still not clear, perhaps the organ, drums, or unique guitar riffs will job your memory. I don’t know, it’s just so freaking cool. I love these guys. I can’t name many bands where I’d just put the genre as the band name itself, but this genre is simply “The Doors”, and that’s the highest compliment I can give a band. The fact that this is the lowest rated album by these guys makes sense. It doesn’t have many of the hits. However, it’s still pretty god damn good, and I’d never be upset listening to it. It’s a 4, almost a 5, and I really really REALLY want to give it a 5. Few songs I would maybe pass over here, but they’re still great. It was agonizing having to give this one a 4, but the only song I added to my frequent rotation was “Peace Frog” and “Maggie M’Gill”. That’s what this band means to me personally. They're really good and I want to give all 3 a 5 star rating. But yeah, I’ll agree with the masses on this one and give my favorite to the opener, “Roadhouse Blues”. It’s also really good and has all the signatures of a good The Doors song. Very excited to roll the other 2 albums, as I loved this one enough to just barely scrape under a 5, and that’s without a good majority of the hits. Fantastic album, would always return to this one at any time!!

The only song I like on this is Peace Frog

The doors sound is way ahead of its time. The ability to have a blues/rock sound at that time period is unbelievable. Love me some Doors. 8/10 Top song Roadhouse Blues

What a banging album! Peace Frog is a choon!

A good album, certainly a cut above some of the average rock of this period I’ve had on this list (Traffic, The Youngbloods, The Mothers of Invention). The album has an enjoyable, bluesy sound, but overall nothing stuck in my head that strongly. A good 3, but not quite memorable enough for more.

This album represents a return to the blues rock style but it’s actually the more psychedelic tracks I’m drawn to on this album, “Waiting for the Sun” in particular. I’m also very fond of “Blue Sunday” and “Indian Summer.” Overall, a decent collection of tracks strong enough for a 4.

Not bad, and definitely better than ‘The Soft Parade’, but also not their strongest album either. Some of the bluesy and rockier tracks are really solid, particularly ‘Roadhouse Blues’, ‘You Make Me Real’, ‘Maggie M’Gill’ and ‘Peace Frog’, though the more psychedelic ‘Waiting for the Sun’ is a highlight too. As these picks suggest, I found side one to be quite a bit stronger than side two. I’ve also never really liked ‘Morrison-as-crooner’, so ‘Blue Sunday’ left me especially cold, and several other tracks (mostly on side two) are perfectly fine but nothing special. Just shy of 4 stars overall.

Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? Pretty familiar, I know a lot of songs How do I feel about this artist? I like The Doors a quite a bit Favorite song(s)? Roadhouse Blues, Waiting For the Sun Overall Thoughts: I liked listening to this album. My favorite songs are the first two songs so it seems downhill after that but I still enjoyed it. The Doors are my first repeat band on this list and my previous Doors album was also on a Friday.

Muy blue-sy. Mis mejores: Peace Frog, Queen of the Highway, Waiting for the Sun y Indian Summer. Mucho órgano. Gran voz. 4.5*

Meh.

Musically I really liked it. Lyrically it seems like Jim was trying just a little too hard to be far out

Waiting for the Sun was actually my standout track, loved it’s punchiness. Peace frog obviously another classic. A couple other good tracks but overall I think the second half of the album falls flat compared to the first half. This sits a bit higher than a 3 but not quite 4 level for me.

For me, the Doors have 3 classic records wich are LA Woman, Self-Titled and Strange Days. Everything in the middle is kind of mid. Though every Doors record contains a classic song. I will say out of the 3 records after Strange Days and before LA Woman, Morrison Hotel is the better one. It’s a return to form from the blues and it has some nice songs. Roadhouse Blues, Waiting For The Sun and Peace Frog are really good. But the rest lacks depth for a Doors records. It’s kind of generic.

this was good! not enough to turn me into a doors fan or even to get me to explore their discography but i had an overall positive impression and i even did a little dance a few times so that’s nice.

When to listen: a hazy, warm day with steaks on the grill. The Doors are good, this album is... fine.

Absolutely class album. Hesitating to give 5 stars for the irrational reason of rating the first of 1001 albums. But love the Doors

Fantastic

Torrada, no me gusta the doors

My fav: Peace Frog (funky), Waiting for the Sun (I liked to trumpet it along), Ship of Fools (the beat!), the beginning of Indian Summer is also soooo nice, but then becomes basic and a bit annoying… I really like the vibes and the way this album turns your room into a cozy vinyl store somewhere in a tiny street in Paris. And it feels like if I look out of the window there will be US in 1970, ok?! Rating: 7,5/10

A few greats mixed with some easy listening a solid album

That one song is pretty great, and the cowboy-blues aesthetic serves them pretty well. Morrison is juuust starting to steer into Cosmic Prophet mode, so it’s decent. But, y’know, it’s still The Doors. And I hate the fuckin’ Doors.

Rating: 8.5/10 Favorite song(s): Blue Sunday, Indian Summer Review: This is my favorite Doors album. I prefer their slower songs to their blues-y stuff. Not that the latter is bad, it just stands out less in a sea of white bands at the time copying an already well-developed sound. I don’t feel like Zeppelin, the Doors, or the Stones add much to the canon of western music with their blues tracks that wasn’t already accomplished by black musicians. They’re pretty good songs nonetheless. I like this album, it’s short and easy to listen to. Listen again?: Yeah

Muy bueno

Roadhouse Blues is a BRILLIANT start to this album. Blends seamlessly into Waiting for the Sun even though the tempo slows. The album is bluesy at times, pure rock at others, dreamy at others. Then Land Ho! is half country, half pirate anthem. And damn, I forgot how good Peace Frog is. Morrison's voice on every track is stellar, and Ray Manzarek's keyboards are iconic, giving the band their unique sound.

Giving this album a 3 is generous, and I like the Doors a lot.

Криспи 100% ситигриль музыка Классный блюз, классный рок Разнообразно, но при этом местами скучновато Возможно звучание приедается 3.1

I quite liked this album. I appreciated that each song had its own unique sound.

Never have got into the Doors. Classic Rock is not my thing in general but these guys are pretty low down when it comes to the genre itself IMHO. Is his sultry voice that gets people? Or the mythical status surrounding Morrison? Maybe seeing them live was a big thing. Who knows? But it just sounds like bog standard white boy blues rock that sprawls out a bit to make it 'psychedelic'.

3.5

Bien lo escribió alguien en una reseña, The Doors están sobrevalorados. Me parece que solo valen la pena como 2-3 canciones. Nada más.

I think my view of who The Doors were was rather incorrect. I was expecting dull mopey songs (coz I only knew Riders of the Storm going in and such). This had some right bops (best one is Land Ho!) and a great rock and/or roll vibe. Lovely surprise!

I love The Doors so much. I genuinely don't think they have a single bad album and this album is absolutely perfect. Favourite songs: Blue Sunday and Indian Summer

Some psychedelic blues rock. I’m not the biggest Jim Morrison or The Doors fan. Peace Frog is cool.

The actual music of the doors is not bad for white-guy-blues. There’s LOTS of good piano. The problem with the doors is Van Morrison. He sounds like some guy they picked up off the street who is just making it up as he goes and he’s just drunk enough to think he’s nailing it. Like how he’ll repeat the same line a few times like he thinks it’s clever.

I went through a big Doors phase in my twenties as I was trying to figure myself out, so a lot of this is familiar. Cracking tunes. There's something unendingly spectral about some of The Doors' music, as if it's already haunted.

some 5 moments, some 3 moments.

Quality stuff. Much better than I expected. Great opening tune. 4/5

I’m a massive doors fan so i’ve been waiting for a doors album to review and this is a great one, barely not a 5 for me cause land ho and queen of the highway are just ok. That said, some of the doors strongest tracks are here, which are my standouts: Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog and Blue Sunday.

A few songs i didn't care for, but some iconic ones and the overall musicianship still warrant star number 5 for me.

I hate the doors. his voice is so slurry and just no.

From one listen: not in the same league as their debut, but definitely enjoyed it more than L.A. Woman. I admired the musicianship especially. The Doors always seem to have exciting little riffs and flourishes. It also did not feel to me like they resorted to the blues too much on this album, which always sounds lazy to my 21st century ears. I heard some interesting songs on Morrison Hotel which I would like to hear again. I noted that it was from one listen as I felt to do it justice I ought to revisit it, but there's 1001 albums to get through so one will have to do.

mid 2 when all inspiration has dried up, play the blues. im a massive fan of the doors first album. this challenge has shown me they really didnt live up to their potential on later albums its a shame

I didnt like it that mucho, it's very neutrual

Blues, cool music, want to be driving an old Cadillac on a summer day listening to this album

A rollicking comeback of an album where Jim Morrison sounds equal parts unhinged and enlightened. The instrumentation is flavorful and extremely well-mixed. It is a bit front loaded as an album, but I really think this one is quite a solid entry in the Doors discog.

this was sick, absolute tunes, no skips, goated intro

This is what good blues rock can sound like. “The future is uncertain and the end is always near”. Morrison is somehow able to make this sentiment sound comforting. It loses steam around the halfway mark, but the first half is entirely excellent. Great stuff! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great!

8.1

Don’t hate ‘em, but don’t love ‘em either.

Not bad. Just not a fan

Excellent album from start to finish. Honestly I would have told you that I disliked The Doors before this listen. Now I know I like this album by the doors but still hate Riders on the Storm.

Way better than the other doors album. They should have started with this one. Four!

This was if memory serves- their "back to the basics" return to form after the craziness of the Soft Parade. Pretty solid from them, pretty back to the basic rockers. I always loved "Peace Frog" when I was a teenager, it was sampled by the Rap Group Third Bass on a song. It's funky. Jim has an awesome voice, I do understand why he is also sort of insufferable sometimes. I love the song Ship of Fools.

It was a good album overall, didn't blow me away like I thought it would given the popularity of it, but definitely enjoyed it.

Wasn’t bad but wasn’t memorable. I know some of the doors songs but most of this album was new to me. Reading other reviews it sounds like their earlier albums are well liked, so hopefully those come up and are more interesting.

Roadhouse blues - this is super nostalgic? Was it used in top gear??? This album is going to be a fun one i think Waiting for the sun - wowie the electric guitar and drums You make me real - reminds me of meat loaf ?? Peace frog - i didn't know this song was off this album! One I've enjoyed for a while Blue Sunday- pace change but I quite enjoy it Ship of fools - is than an organ?? Land ho! - the organ is back! This is a fun one, i think my fave song so far The spy - this feels like sleuthing. Fr just noticed the title (they named it perfectly). Its kind of sexy Queen of the highway - not my fave but still enjoyed Indian summer - gorgeous gorgeous Maggie m'gill - this is a cool song, in the running for fave too! Overall album rating 7.5/10
