Morrison Hotel

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

Classic album, immensely enjoyable easy listening

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

Cool

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

Some of Jim’s best

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

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

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

ritmazo buena voz mola la harmónica y el piano guay

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

Solid album was a good listen while I worked.

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

Such great memories when I listen to this album again!

1. Song - nice, Blues, gut für einen Sonntagmorgen 2. - erinnert bisschen an Qotsa vom Gesang her 3. - bluesiger Rockabilly, gut 4. - kommt in ne Playlist, 70er Orgel & Gitarre wie ichs mag 5. - angenehm ruhig mit interessanten Akkordwechseln, auch in Playlist 6. - mitwippbar, vglsw. uninteressant 7. - bisschen Seemanns-mäßig mit voranhüpfendem Bass 8. - schön bluesiger Lovesong, in Playlist 9. Angenehmer Anschluss an 8. 10. Interessant gemischt, mit Trommeln oder Bass klingt trommlig? 11. - cooles Blues LickRiffwhatever, lässt das Album gut ausklingen

The doors siempre 👌

This album is actually perfect. I really enjoyed every single song

Album 189 of 1001 The Doors - Morrison Hotel Rating : 5 / 5 Favorite Tracks : Peace Frog / Blue Sunday Love me some Doors. Back to some rocking blues roots. Awesome tunes...lyrics...performance. This is the 3rd Doors album I've rated this high. I think I'll keep them.

Another amazing album by the doors. I have been a massive fan of the band for years. How iconic their sound is considering the short period of time they were producing music is crazy. They’ll still be relevant in years to come.

Great Album

The Doors

Solid album. Very enjoyable. I never expected blues to mix so well with psychedelic rock.

Great album, highlights were Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun and Peace Frog

4.9 can't quite bring myself to give it a full 5 but damn it's so good. faves: INDIAN SUMMER INDIAN SUMMER, waiting for the sun, blue sunday

This band's treatment of the blues is just so uniquely special. I cannot get enough of it. Favorite track: Roadhouse Blues

NAURRRR WHERE DID ALL MY COMMENTS GO??? anyway, really nice album, especially all the way through. You can put it in the background, and suddenly you feel like you're in a movie! There was a lot of variety of sounds and was a cool introduction to the group, I'm really interested in looking into them more! Plus it helps that the album picture is really aesthetic lol. I can't remember which songs I made a note of but I know Peace Frog was one that I wrote about!! Good vibes 🙏

es una debilidad

The Doors at their best.

Great album.

Excellent lyrical songwriting and love Morrison’s voice.

Loved this

More subdued than L.A Woman but just as excellent.

10/10 I listened to the Deluxe Edition, and it was super cool! I love hearing all of the takes for these amazing songs!

Great

THE DOORS!

I think every studio album The Doors made with Jim Morrison is worthy of 5 stars. This might actually be my least favorite album of theirs, but it's still a 5 star record. I'm not a huge fan of "Roadhouse Blues." I know it's one of their most popular songs, but I think it's the weird scatting and the harmonica that blow it for me. It's still a very memorable song though. Once you get past the opener, my ears start to perk up more. It's a very consistent album, and serves as a sort of precursor to their masterpiece "LA Woman."

Own on Vinyl

Roadhouse blues

Morrison Hotel - The Doors Yes, yes, and yes. What an album - this is what I expected to find lots of - amazing , superb albums, that capture: an essence; a style; a moment in music; or cultural/musical shift. This is also wonderful for listening simply for its enjoyment and artistry. Yes, 5+ stars. Amazing album, I simply loved *every* track, cohesive and really enjoyable and interesting music, its elevating and soaring, catching blues rock psychedelia (I suppose ), sometimes bawdy in sound, then lilting and trippy, then rollicking and catch, and so, so different to the other music of the times. Behind the catchy tunes are rather challenging, political, or counter culture or simply obtusely poetic and psychedelic messages, if you can be bothered with the lyrics. And a joy - it is the kind of music to turn up loud and exalt in, its so enjoyably unique and bizarre, beautifully executed, they really defined something so different. Naturally, reminded me of the Doors movie, but also of the track "The End" used for the Opening scene of the film "Apocalypse Now" - which has a strange resonance right now, but that's for another article. The Doors. Super solid album. More like this please.

I cannot see the title of this album without being reminded of the classic Morrison Hostel, from TISM’s Great Truckin’ Songs of the Renaissance (1988), in which they crucify Morrison, as the representative of & reason behind every serious young insect that followed him & considered themself a poet (Cave, Morrissey, Robert Smith, etc). I love that track. Does it stop me loving this album? No way. This is one of The Doors’ finest. Roadhouse Blues is one of the great album openers of all time. Not until now did I realise that the great guitarist Lonnie Mack played bass on this track (The Doors never had a bass player in the band) and John Sebastian played harmonica. It sets a cracking pace, but there are a bunch of wonderful slow tracks interspersed - Waiting For The Sun, Blue Sunday, The Spy (what a great track) & Indian Summer, often embellished by Robbie Kreiger’s guitar. One of the highlights is Peace Frog - a real blood in the streets anthem, obviously partly inspired by the 1968 riots at the Democrats’ Convention in Chicago. There’s no filler on Side 1 - You Make Me Real & Ship Of Fools both rock, & Side 2 opens just as powerfully with Land Ho!, although that side is not quite as strong. All in all, a terrific record. A great band.

Played this while prepping some snapper for dinner so I didn’t get to listen as actively as I normally would - but I love the doors. I’ve listened to this album before and it’s a banger every time. 5/5 for the spies out there

Excellent

I grew up on The Doors, so this is an album I'm very familiar with.

I love the Doors

Het is niet het debuutalbum, geen Strange Days en zelfs geen L.A. Woman, maar alsnog vind ik dit gewoon heel erg goed. Iets in Jim Morrison (maar ook Ray Manzarek en die anderen) raakt altijd een snaar bij me. Laat me dit album nog een paar keer luisteren en ik vind het vast op gelijke voet staan met de eerdergenoemden. Dus gewoon 5 sterren dit.

5/5

Enjoyable album

Yea, I love this album for sure

Funny how this album which represented extreme hard rock when I was a child is now practically easy listening.

Great album, mostly for the big hit songs but I've always liked Ship of Fools as well

It's so good. So classic. The Spy is such a fuggin jam.

Listened to this album on the way to my grandpas funeral. My dad opens the car door and he says “are you seriously listening to The Doors before my fathers funeral?” It was then that he knew he’d raised me right. This album is awesome

This rating has far less to do with my listening experience and more about how I want to make sure that Jim Morrison loves me when I meet him in heaven some day.

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

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

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

Classic

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

Great classic album.

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

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

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

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

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

Love this

Fantastic

The Doors will always rank at the top for me

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

Yeah!!

cool

Erg goede muziek!

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

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

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

Loved it such a joy to listen to

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

5 star

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

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

First time listen to thr full record. Immaculate vibes.

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

morrison el rey largarto de ruta 3

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

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

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

#Classic 5 stars no question.

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

Roadhouse Blues tem vários instrumentos interessantes.

Blues-rock de The Doors. Vinilo.

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

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

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

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

Top album. The Doors at their peak

Hey, one I already own! There's a rockin' start to this album with 'Roadhouse Blues'. The album keeps it up mostly, though it stalls at times when it gets slower and more contemplative. Overall, however, the album comes together as a cohesive vision, which I really appreciate. So many albums feel fragmented and broken apart from song to song, but this one maintains a steadiness throughout that makes it an engaging listen from beginning to end. I also really like that it doesn't linger longer than it needs to. It's a little bit of a shorter album than some of the other's on here, and I can appreciate getting in, making your point, and getting out.

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

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

A classic.

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

From one Jim to another, great work Jim

Probably the best their album

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

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

One of the best bands from the rock history.

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

Classic Doors. Very enjoyable. Could be in regular rotation

one of the best Doors albums

Amazing!

POKER TIME

Moody, smooth, dark but not depressed.

Phonetically fantastic, a classic

Can’t believe I hadn’t listened to this yet. Love the doors

Просто Моррисон. Прекрасен

What Tom said

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

Rock

sick

Awesome

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

Excellent

So GOOD!

All doors albums are absolutely legendary

love love love love

Loved it, already loved it

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

Imprescindible

Grandísimo disco. 45 estrellas.

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

Great album.

Sublime

Historia de la musica

The Doors es una bandota que por alguna razón la evadí inconscientemente mucho tiempo y quizá me arrepiento un poco, pero no cuando puedo emocionarme por primera vez. Gran disco. Todo se oye lo más rockero. Mis preferidas: "Waiting for the Sun", "Ship of Fools", "Indian Summer" y "Roadhouse Blues", que sí conocía, rolón. 10/10

Descomunal

awesome

excelente, peace frog é minha musica favorita deles

I've had a crazy day, so I'm going to jeep this short. If I had to pick a 3rd Doors album to be on this list, I would have gone with Strange Days. This album is still good though, Peace Frog and Road House Blues are the standout songs. There is a couple of other songs I like, and a handful that are just average. High 4!

Knew more than I thought. Classic sound of The Doors.

4.5 stars. Great album, love it and love the Doors. Been too long since I've gone back through their catalogue and forgot how much I dig it.

The best blues-sounding record I've heard so far...

пушка вышка, особенно land ho! Моррисон стабилизировался и в ударе. Сильные американские народные вайбы

i really enjoy how punchy this album was. not remarkable, but certainly enjoyable to listen to. the songs did kind of blend together, but i guess that's a good thing since there was nothing in here i hated..

Chill album of the times

I like the Doors, haven’t heard much from this album before.

Probably the Doors’ most cohesive album that gets off to a belting start, just a shame it sounds as though they were losing interest by the last couple of tracks

4/7

Some of the best psychedelic blues rock ever made. The musicians were incredible on Morrison Hotel. Jim had more charisma than natural talent, but it worked.

Already knew I like some songs by the doors, this album definitely expanded that

loved it, favorite song is Indian Summer

I enjoyed this more than any other Doors album I’ve listened to so far. Vocals sounded a bit different than Jim Morrison usually sounds but I actually liked it a bit more.

i like other doors albums more but i thoroughly echoed this. never realized how much he sounded like paul banks.

This was so much fun!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Really enjoyed, not as much as the debut though.

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.

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

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

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.

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

Stunning Rock n Roll from a top band

75

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

Blues rock, psychedelia, R&B.

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

3.5/5

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

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

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

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

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

Love the Doors, really enjoy this album.

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.

Decent album

4.5

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

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.

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.

3.8

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

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

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.

it's 3.75

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.

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..)

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.

Net wel net geen 5, idk

deep doors sounds

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

I like how crude it is

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

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.

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

Pretty good but nothing like their other albums.

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

grandisima banda no tan gran album

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.

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

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

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.

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

7.5/10

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

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 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!

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.

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*

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

Fantastic

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

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

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

3.5

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 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.

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.

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 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

8.1

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.

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

A rockin' album. I'm not hot for the Doors, but a transformation happened in this LP and LA Woman that appealed to me. The music is muscular and heavy and there is a sense that the band wants to evolve into something bigger than their previous incarnations. Of course, Roadhouse Blue perfectly epitomizes this desire and it surely has earned its place as a classic rockin' standard. But so do You Make Me Real and Peace Frog/Blue Sunday. The Blue Sunday section bears a mysterious ease that tells me Jim is fully in love. The album definitely leans more toward the blues in tracks like You Make Me Real and The Spy, which Morrison clearly based on Anais Nin's novel. I wish there were more guitar solos like the one in You Make me Real. By the time we get to Indian Summer, we are in an acid-fueled blissed out dream of love. I think Morrison's singing is the best on this track. His voice vines with Robbie's guitar strains so beautifully. Best song, too short. Maggie McGill returns us to the blues and makes Jim snarl so convincingly.

Love the groove of Peace Frog

rockig, sommerlich, roadtrip mukke, so sommer wo du füße im auto hochlegst , deine haare im wind vom offenen fenster wehen, sonnenbrille auf der nase und keine ahnung wo heute nacht geschlafen wird aber es ist egal, weil 30 grad

some bangers

Really liked this one. I had it on in the background while playing fifa and was nice and mellow. I liked the jazzy vibe and the songs mostly fit my preferred genre. Most songs were hit. 8.5/10

Mmmm yeah very interesting. Much to think on!

8 - GOOD

😃 Do it, Robby, do it

I really liked the organs, and the vocals matched better than the previous album. Some of the lyrics i was a bit ehhh on but i love how goofy zany they were in general.

Decently snazzy stuff, can’t really go wrong with the Doors.

Fantastic

Fat Ugly Dead

Very good

Need to listen more only got to listen once but I really enjoyed what I was hearing

troche nie pamietam?? 1 pioesnka mi sie nie podobala bo miala yaka dziwna harmonijke jak stare pisenki maja. 2 byla fajna i reszta tez spoko z tego co kojatrze

Quite solid

Excellent

Great album! Not really my thing but I appreciate it and the musicians that made it! Rock and roll with a slightly bluesy feel to it.

7/10

Surprised myself by how much I liked this.

My third and final Doors album from the generator and I think it might actually be my favourite of the three. The other two albums, their self-titled and L.A. Woman, definitely have more of the well-known hits on them, but that might actually be why I enjoy this one more; I just haven't heard these songs dozens and dozens of times over the years.

Første gang jeg har hørt annet et noen enkeltspor, og liker det bedre enn forventet. Det er the Doors som spiller the Doors, men selv om de ikke prøver å sprenge noen grenser, har de ikke gitt opp. Noen av sporene i midtpartiet blir litt vel intetsigende, og Indian Summer høres ut uforløst reprise av The End, men så går de ut hardt med Maggie M'Gill som virkelig hinter til de bedre sporene på L.A. Woman. At denne er valgt over Strange Days er ugreit; skiva har ingenting på denne lista å gjøre. Likevel kan jeg se meg selv booke meg inn på Morrison Hotel igjen. Born again Doors-fan? Begynner å se sånn ut altså!

Litt rart at denne er med istedet for Morrison Hotel (eller The Soft Parade bare for kontroversens skyld). Morrison Hotel er en helt ålreit plate fra et band med et høyt utgangspunkt. De låter som The Doors og det er bra. Gjenbruker noen gamle triks, slik som at "Indian Summer" er en miniversjon av "The End", men riffinga på "Peace Frog" låter hvertfall et par år før sin tid. "Land Ho!" er fjollete, men overall er jeg ikke i tvil om at jeg er The Doors-fan.

Listening to The Doors throughout this list makes me realize how many songs I know by them, which is a surprise to me. Roadhouse Blues is a classic and it's surrounded by a pretty similar vibe in the tracklist.

A solid album, not every track was memorable so it didn't make to coveted 5 stars, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless.

Holy moly! Familiar with individual songs but this is the first complete album for me and what a revelation. Tip to tail greatness. Worth another listen 4/5.

hell yeah the Doors

Another great classic rock album. Great band. Enjoyable all the way through.

I own this album and apparently never flip it over. The first side is amazing. The second falls slightly flat. 4 stars.

I haven't previously had much fondness for The Doors. 'Roadhouse Blues' has always been excellent but it's a straightforward blues number (great album opener). I'd barely call my previous feelings 'respect.' However, when 'Waiting For The Sun' started, I was really impressed by Manzarek and Krieger's response to Morrison's call -- dun-dun DUUUN dun-dun-dun. Really cool tune and very interesting work on both the organ and guitar, throughout. I'm still not a big Morrison fan but this album has tempered my feelings about The Doors. From 'Roadhouse Blues' right through 'Peace Frog,' the album just keeps being fun and interesting. It's definitely another version of white guys doing some blues but they also have some other ideas. It's got some darkness to it ("blood in the streets of the town of New Haven", etc.) and Morrison's occasional spoken word bits really add to it. 'Indian Summer' is quite sweet and weird. Sort of a North African/Middle Eastern inflected call-and-response between Morrison and Krieger while Manzarek just adds the hazy vibes on the keys. Anyway, it's hard to give up old grudges but this is a solid record. 4/5 and start here if you think you hate The Doors.
