Reviews (page 5 of 14)
As much as I appreciated The Doors in my teens, today I don't bother about their music.
I really liked this album. Definitely saving this one.
Feels like if country music met the beatles in a cool funky way
I do not get the appeal. A mix of psych rock that was done better on Strange Days, drunk local band blues that was done better on LA Woman, and a few silly ones. Peace Frog is a banger though.
Second favorite The Doors album, this has some excellent tunes on it. Highlights for me are Roadhouse Blues, Indian Summer, and one of my favorite The Doors songs, Peace Frog. Not a single dud on the entire album. Absolutely worth a listen.
I have a strange relationship with the Doors. Most of their songs I love, like track 1 on Morrison Hotel, it's Roadhouse Blues. I love that song. It’s got everything you need: a great bluesy groove, great guitar picking by Robby Krieger, great piano by Ray Manzarek, solid drumming by John Densmore, and a thumping bass line by non-Doors member Lonnie Mack. But the thing that turns it from just your run-of-the-mill blues rock song is Jim Morrison. “I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer!” I don’t even really drink, and that makes me want to wake up and start drinking. Morrison is an insane person who I’m not sure was as brilliant as most people thought. I think drugs and booze brought his inhibitions down, which led to several viral moments that made the band huge. Unfortunately,y those same addictions killed him and the Doors. But he was a legend. Track 2, Waiting for the Sun, is so good. I never listened to much of the Doors' catalog beyond the greatest hits. Waiting for the Sun has these futuristic keyboard sounds that make this song sound like it was way ahead of its time. Which is rare for the Doors, as I've always believed they were a band that sounded just like the era they were making music in. Krieger was such an underrated guitarist. I wish I had gone to see the Doors with Ian Astbury of the Cult fronting them. That had to have been as close to seeing Morrison as you could. Track 3 is another rocker, You Make Me Real. It seems the Doors wanted to get back to their blues rock style with this album after experimenting with strings and horns on their previous album. Though Touch Me is one of my favorite songs by the Doors. It captures the essence of the 1960s without sounding like most music from the 60s. Track 4 is Peace Frog, and it’s a skittering jam. Apparently, its lyrics come from one of Morrison’s poems about abortion. Well, that’s just ducky. Again, I never believed Morrison to be a poetic shaman. He just had charisma out of the yinyang. Still a great song. Track 5, Blue Sunday, is usually played in tandem with Peace Frog, kind of like Led Zeppelin’s Heartbreaker and Livin’ Lovin’ Maid (She’s Just a Woman). This is a nice, slow, psychedelic love song. Just a couple of minutes long, but it gets the job done. Track 6, Ship of Fools, was about all the crazy stuff going on in the 1960’s, people walking on the moon, smog is choking people out, etc. Then here comes LSD and marijuana to help escape all the craziness. Morrison is a good lyricist, but I think some god him up a bit much. At the end, I think he was becoming more of a crazy drunk than a poet. Track 8, The Spy, is just another example of the psychedelic blues rock the Doors are known for. There’s something about the Doors’ songs that is different from any other band from that era. I generally tend to dislike the psychedelic rock from that era, at least the derivative, jumping on the bandwagon kind. The Doors never sounded derivative, though their sound is no doubt of the 1960s. Most of their songs could never be mistaken for any decade beyond the early 1970s. Maybe because they are just universally looked upon as one of the best rock bands of that generation, even though they sound dated, they still sound fresh and original. Track 9, Queen of the Highway, is a jam. Krieger and Manzarek are really showing their stuff. Love this song. There were only two singles released from this album,Roadhouse Blues and You Make Me Real. I think Queen of the Highway could have made some headway as a single. But I’m betting the Doors didn’t really care about singles and were big enough that they didn’t need them. They had Morrison ready to take Mr. Mojo out of his pants every once in a while on stage….or not, as the band and others have said. Track 10, Indian Summer, is a slow, quiet song, along the lines of This Is the End, at least the beginning of This Is the End. It seems to be a love song with only a few lyrics sung over and over. It’s a pretty little song and really caught my ear. Not sure that I’d heard it before. It’s a little too minimal to have been a single, but it’s nice. Track 11, Maggie McGill, is a lowdown, blues jam with a killer old school blues riff. Morrison sounds licentious. “Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill Her daddy got drunk and left her no will So she went down, down to Tangie town People down there really like to get it on” That’s nice right there. Again, Kreiger’s guitar work is phenomenal. I might like this better than Roadhouse Blues. “Illegitimate son of a rock and roll star Illegitimate son of a rock and roll star Mom met dad in the back of a rock and roll car, yeah Well, I'm an old blues man And I think that you understand I've been singing the blues ever since the world began, yeah” God bless Jim Morrison and the Doors. The world just wouldn’t have been the same without them, would it? This album is a certifiable must listen before you’ve shuffled on out of this plane of existence. Great band, important band, great album, maybe not as important, but fun to listen to.
Great driving blues rock. Great sounding album well mixed
Tällä levyllä oli muutamia klassikkobiisejä, mm. mun ikisuosikki ”Roadhouse Blues”.
Meh
It was okay.
Man I love The Doors.
Roadhouse Blues is a banger. I enjoyed some of the other songs and it was good to have my first listen of a Doors album from end to end. Heaps better than some of the junk I’ve been served up lately, so I’m rounding up from 3.5 to 4 stars.
Love the Doors! Album is a classic!
O primeiro álbum da lista e o segundo do the doors que escuto
Fun and enjoyable
Un album très bluesy, plus que ce que je connais du groupe. Pas vraiment mon truc, mais très cool dans le genre.
Excellent!
The kind of album that makes you want to steal a car, get in it and drive west, play the album full blast. When it ends, get out, get into a fight. Then get back into the car, come to town, and the enter the most prestigious hotel of all time: Morrison Hotel
That's a real hotel but they didn't have permission for the shot, so they quickly snuck in whilst the clerk was away and grabbed the it! I'm a big Doors fan! I've never ranked the albums, but this is not my fave, i'm not even sure this would make top 3 but they have en insanely high quality body of work, 6 albums, all released within 4 years. _Morrison Hotel_ saw the beginning of a new but short chapter for The Doors moving into more blues-oriented territory following the poorly received and more orchestral _The Soft Parade_. Whilst not my fave, it does contain some of my fave songs. _Roadhouse Blues_, _Peace Frog_ and _Waiting for the Sun_ would all be in conversation for my top 10 . Ultimately, it doesn't quite maintain its quality throughout which is why this is a 9 rather than 10/10, but in a 5-star rating scale, that's still maximum points!
Classic!
Enjoyed over 1/2 of it but some of the tracks were a little mundane
After their less than spectacular previous album, Soft Parade, the Doors decided to get back to basics and boy did they. This album stands shoulder to shoulder with any of their earlier classic albums. The Doors at their best.
Really good disc, every instrument has it's rol and i love it
Fantastic album, very broad coverage musically, maybe not the most thematically engaging but from a listening standpoint, I would very much listen again
Peace Frog probably the best. Enjoyed the funkiness. Waiting For the Sun and Blue Sunday stood out too. Indian Summer has The End vibes which is a ok with me.
Roadhouse blues is class. The rest is pretty standard doorsness. Not the best doors but not the worst
First 4 or 5 songs are really good, but starts to fall off towards the end of the album. 3.5 stars
Lyrics bland, music good. Like the mix of keyboards and guitar Better in headphones I cant say more than decent though. Standard boiled egg, nowt with it.
Wasn’t in the mood to listen to this so maybe it wasn’t fair Was bang average for me never really got into the doors
This one kinda hit after the guitar class
Peace Frog is maybe my favorite The Doors's song. Great album, look like a real hommage to North American music, rock and folk, the second part is more expérimental, love it !
Yes yes, we love The Doors. It’s still not the self-titled project, is it?
too hippy for my liking
pretty groovy, good 70s music
It’s alright. It starts out amazingly with Roadhouse Blues which just goes OFF, but I feel like like the quality dips significantly after Peace Frog which is a shame because there’s still like 2/3s the album to go.
5 out of 5. So obsessed with the Doors entire discography...Morrison hotel is perfection. Teen me is thriving today
This was great. But not that great. lol 3 stars.
I love this album. Furthermore, Peace Frog is one of my favourite The Doors songs. But come on… Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, You Make Me Real, Ship of Fools, Queen of the Highway, Indian Summer. If you like the Doors you are in for a treat
Always been conflicted on the Doors, enjoying elements of their songs but feeling like the tone or energy is off; I dislike the eerie depressiveness which is intentional at times but seems to permeate a lot of their music and, in my opinion, needlessly. I did really enjoy this album to from the really blues songs like Roadhouse to Indian Summer which is very hypnotic, and I recognise from Apocalypse now.
Best: Blue Sunday I liked many of the songs while I was listening to them but found this album fairly unmemorable as a whole, I kept having to go back and listen to tracks over again, more of a me issue than an actual reflection of the album, I think. Some of the other reviews suggest this album is boring/slow, but they are wrong. I do find the doors can be a bit eerie/hypnotic at times but I enjoy the ominous vibe. I liked how bluesy this was and loved hearing the electric organ across the tracks especially that tremolo effect on waiting for the sun.
In turning to straight blues, The Doors forgot what made them interesting. The first four tracks rock pretty hard, and Peace Frog in particular has flashes of Morrison's sinister weirdness, but the remainder are fairly forgettable.
didn't care for this album although both blue sunday and indian summer we good, exceptional even
Nope. Thought I was a fan of The Doors, but this album was not the one. I found it annoying. Also, it felt like they were trying too hard and amateurish? Not sure that's the correct verbiage but the point is that it was less than impressive. No standouts. 02-08-2026
Digga det! Men alt for kort album!
Morrison Hotel feels like The Doors deciding to make a straight-up blues record—and doing it well. The band sounds locked in and confident, leaning less on psychedelia and more on groove, feel, and classic rock foundations. It’s tighter, more restrained, and more conventional than their debut. That’s both its strength and its limitation. Songs like “Roadhouse Blues” and “Peace Frog” are undeniable, and the musicianship throughout is strong. Morrison reins things in just enough to let the songs breathe, and the band sounds cohesive rather than chaotic. This is The Doors as craftsmen, not provocateurs. But while it’s well executed, it doesn’t feel as groundbreaking or dangerous as their self-titled debut. There’s less sense of discovery here, less of that “how did this exist at the time?” energy. It’s a record I like and respect more than I love. In the context of their catalog, Morrison Hotel earns its place as a strong, blues-driven entry—just not one that redefines the band or moves me emotionally in the same way. A solid, confident album that I’m glad to know, even if it’s not one I’ll reach for first.
Some great ones on here. A back to our roots record. Channeling the Wolf without ripping him off is tricky. They do it here. Still, no one's dying full of regret for not hearing this one. First Album is cannon. A must. It shows they can rock with Break on Through so MH hotel not needed for that. And LA Woman has some of this leftover blues vibe.
acho que nunca ouvi nada do the doors, não era isso que eu imaginava que fosse ser dá pra ver bem que é um período de transição entre blues e rock mais moderno; bastante parecido com o get back dos beatles; especialmente porque o vocal e baixo em algumas músicas remete bastante ao paul mccartney músicas que eu favoritei: - waiting for the sun - blue sunday - ship of fools - queen of the highway
Virkelig fedt lydbillede hele vejen igennem. Stemmemæssigt også spændende, da der er skifte i sanger, hvilket giver noget sangmæssigt dynamik. Generelt set et fantastisk album, hvor jeg var særlig fan af numrene: - Roadhouse blues - Waiting for the sun - Maggie M'Gill
Doors brand of rock never gets old
I was waiting for this one to come up! My dad introduced me to this album and it's been a staple for me when I listen to long-form music. Peace Frog / Blue Sunday has got to be my favorite.
Æ, þú veist, bara... bleh? Rann bara í gegn. Samt ekkert lélegt.
Fantastic album. I love how the panning of the guitar and synth are so in your face at each side with Morrisons vocal booming out like some enchanted witch doctor. Roadhouse Blues is one of the best album openers of all time and the wistful and mystical Indian Summer is a personal favourite but for me Peace Frog is the standout track on the album. An absolute stonker.
The Doors es Uno de esos grupos que he apreciado con el tiempo. Actualmente me parecen monumentales. Y este disco es uno de los tres mejores que publicaron.
Hyvä levy, pitää kuunnella uudestaan. 3,75/5.
Just don't like this type of rock
Top 3 favorites: 1. Indian summer 2. Peace frog 3. Blue sunday
Songs I saved: Waiting for the Sun Peace Frog Blue Sunday Land Ho! Indian Summer
Just when I thought the Doors couldn;t get any more annoying, I get subjected to this horrible album.
Great album. I really like the stuff I've heard by The Doors so it was nice to finally listen to an album. Will definitely listen to this again. 4/5 for me.
My favorite song is the spy.
The Doors are one of those bands I never tie myself to one album, there were just so many songs that I like, that I forget half the time which album they are from. That said, it was good to sit down and listen to this one. I had not listened to much of The Doors recently, so it was good to get into listening again. Biggest Hit - Roadhouse Blues Biggest Miss (if I had to choose) - Indian Summer Underrated Gem - Peace Frog
Not the biggest fan of the Doors, however I really liked the first part of tha album, really fun
I hadn’t listened to this album in probably 30 years. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to side 1. Side 2, not so much.
Didn‘t know that one. But some songs on it i really liked.
Fucj this shit
de este album me gusta solo una cancion , el resto nada
Pretty cool album Standout songs: Waiting for the sun Ship of fools Maggie M'Gill
Очень люблю The Doors
I don't care for the Doors much. I was hoping this album might get me into them. It did not. This album is ok.
I was excited for a Doors album, always a band you hear off but I haven't actually listed to. I enjoyed it and likes the lyrics. Alot of that keyboard vibe that by today's standards is reminiscent of carnivals, but very 70s aesthetic.
Roadhouse Blues is a hell of an opener, and Waiting For The Sun a great follow-up. Peace Frog is probably one of the most underestimated songs, making for a great side 1. Unfortunately the second side isn’t nearly as compelling, with diversions into sea shanties and Jim blathering on about Queens of the Highway and Indian Summers. Overall, pretty good, but not their best
One of my favorite groups of all time. A return to from for these four, after an excursion into heavy pop psychedelia with their previous effort "The Soft Parade." This album brings it back to their jazz, blues, & rock influences. Not too much I can say about this album that hasn't already been said. The album cover is perfect and sets the tone immediately. Top Track: Blue Sunday
Bit uneven. Best track by far is Roadhouse Blues...absolute classic Doors. Other favourites You make me real, Ship of Fools The Spy, Maggie M'Gill Veering between 3 and 4 but Roadhouse just nudges it into 4 for me
Eh. Liked the instrumentation with the organ, the blues feel is nice but gets old a little bit. Not bad but I don't think I would return to this album.
Heard of the doors but never this album. Opening background track is really good. So many layers working well together. Doesn’t even need lyrics. Guitar and piano working together on the solo 🔥. Waiting for the sun is pretty cool. Lyrics aren’t the best but the sounds are really cool again. You make me real was good not great. Nothing life changing. Peace frog is much better. This one is really fun. Good songwriting and really good background track. Love the change of pace on blue Sunday. Bass line carries. Lyrics aren’t really good as well. Ship of fools is very unique. Not the best but u can appreciate the range. Not completely sure abt the sailor theme in the back half. It’s not bad just a little goofy. Still really good background music. It’s growing on me as I keep listening. Piano on spy is so good. I like this song a lot. It’s another really good change of pace. Queen of the highway is good not great just doesn’t hit as hard as some of the others for whatever reason. Guitar is really good tho. Maggie Mgill is really good. Really catchy lyrics, good bass line and good guitar. Another song with so many layers working well together. I love how it fades out, and I didnt want this album to end. Both good signs. 3.7 stars.
its just not for me but they something here
Good album Solid songs
Quite enjoyed this one. Love the blues influence. Started to drag/blend together at the end though.
I started this album and was immediately surprised. I thought that I didn't know any of the tracks on this album but I knew Roadhouse Blues. Then I was expecting experimental rock with lots of noodling and organ playing. But this album is a full on R&B album. Lots of 12 bar blues riffs. You can hear some of the organ but it's not a front and central as I was expecting. (2.755)
mitico
When this album opened with Roadhouse Blues, I thought it was going to be a favourite. The rest of the album didn’t really live up to that opening track, but I emptied listening to it.
Mid. I don't like blues. Some catchy songs tho
Bit of a mess by this time !
Classic. Not my favorite doors by any means by a good place to get it in!
meh
Never liked The Doors
Vond het saaier dan verwacht. Maar opzich wel leuk
Dig The Doors now much more, in teenage years thought they are incredibly boring
Yea was okay
Half listened, nothing special
Très bon album, il lui manque juste un ou 2 moments légendaires qu'on retrouve sur d'autres galettes des Doors.
Really enjoyed The Doors unique take on classic blues rock. Only one big hit on there, but plenty of gems, and they maintain an energy throughout.
Gostei muito do álbum como um todo, músicas muito boas e uma melodia muito agradável. Realmente é um álbum muito bom!
One of the weakest albums by The Doors I've heard, but still better than most.
Didn’t enjoy it
2,5 stjerner. Jeg vil ikke si at det er dårlig, men heller ikke helt min smak. enkelte segmenter er kule men hele albumet i ett så er det noe masete.
Not quite the consistent magnificence of LA Woman, but pretty fab nonetheless.
Me listening to this for the first time : 😱
great
decent
catchy
Enjoyed this a lot more than expected. First half of the album was very song. Second half not so much. I realised Muse nicked tor riff in Roadhouse Blues for their track Psycho.
That 70s keyboard blues hits, but like most 70s bands I miss the variety and lyrcism that comes later on in the evolution
This album was a bluesy one with smooth instrumentation. In fact, every instrument came through cleanly and blended nicely, so a very good quality recording. I liked how there were bits of experimentation sprinkled throughout (particularly midway through Land Ho!), and how some songs had ethereal qualities (Blue Sunday and particularly Indian Summer). Overall, it wasn't bad, I'm just normally not a big blues fan, mostly because of the abundance of organ and keyboards. I think my favorite song was Waiting For The Sun.
great!
Yessss! I’m listening to “waiting for the sun” while making coffee and looking outside also waiting. Such an influential band whose tragic end instantly put them into classic status, raw unfiltered talent burned bright and quick , not too different from Kurt Cobain Enjoying this album so far , raw and loud blues and rock and roll 🤘
hmmm lethargic and I don't know how but it sounds like the morrison hotel would be super dusty, dim even. Waiting for the sun is okay. maybe this music is something that you just had to be there to get it, otherwise I can't discern the sparkle...
Bluesy, a bit repetitive
Fav: you make me feel real 4/5
Listenable, good vibes. Gives me the feeling of being in a bar l/restaurant midday somewhere in cowboy country.
One of the Doors best albums imo
Great blues psych rock album with good variety. There are cool changes in the songs and between them as well. The opening run of songs is just really great starting with the rocker Roadhouse Blues thru the funky Peace Frog then the cool transition to Blue Sunday. I would argue one of the greatest opening runs on an album. The back end slows down some with songs like Indian Summer, but they are great as well. Closing with the thick bass rocker Maggie M'Gill. This album really is the epitome of that gritty 60' 70's LA sound.
Oh good grief. Just no! Could not hear the lyrics. Don't like this at all. Never did.
It's alright. Nothing that stands out. 3/5.
It’s the doors need I say more … Okay then I will. As interesting as the combination of organ and guitar combined with Morrisons strong rock voice should be they still manage to make it dull as hell I own 1 doors album , the best of the doors , and that is like 3 sides to many.
There are flashes of brilliance here: "Roadhouse Blues," "Peace Frog," and "Queen of the Highway" are at the top for me. The rest of the album is solid enough, but few songs have the complete package: great music with memorable lyrics. Still, I'm really glad to receive a Doors album today. Jim Morrison had too many demons to keep the band (or himself) alive, but where would they have gone given more time? It doesn't seem they were going to join the soft rock parade like some of their contemporaries; they were sticking to their roots, to their groove, and to the blues.
The Doors don't disappoint. Thanks to their commitment to the music, we get a wide variety of styles, a couple of solid hits, and more experimental poetry from the master himself. Considering the number of albums they produced in a short period of time, this is more of a look into the heart of the artistic drive of the band. LA Woman is still the pinnacle, but I love this stop along the way.
There's just nothing like The Doors, the eerie vibe, the great blues-y sound, the way it feels somehow chill and hard-going at the same time. This is just great stuff
Love the Doors but this is not their best album 4/5
Another doors album on the list what the heck! Jim Morrison really did that I guess. Another solid classic rock album but nothing notable for me. I was listening while grocery shopping and it was some nice background noise to combat the chaos that was market basket right before a snow storm
Eindruck: ganz hervorragend natürlich Rating:7/10 Favorite: Indian Summer/ Blue sunday
Rating: 6,5/7 bruder konnt mich nicht entscheiden War da bisschen zwiegespalten wie man sieht, werfe nh Münze
the doors more like the bores
Tough listen
Some bangers, but not what I think of from the Doors.
as is the danger with this website sometimes, i've built up a backlog of 60s/70s albums so today i'm just wading through them. and like.... this is ok, but i had a Doors album given to me literally two days before this so i'm almost resentful of the fact that they're being hurled at me AGAIN. i liked the other album better tbh.
didn’t like sadly
I’m starting to believe that not only am I the only one left who is listening to these albums, but definitely the only one who will keep reviewing. The Doors was my first concert ever. Albeit, James Morrison was dead- Dave Grohl filled in on the tour and did amazing. I think they played maybe 6 songs that lasted 2 hours hahaha They have better albums than this,
Absolute gold.
This was a solid album with only the one single. It grew on me. Liked Songs Added: Roadhouse Blues Peace Frog Maggie M'Gill
Super goed, nostalgisch album. Mijn persoonlijke favoriet is peace frog
Love the cover. music is crap!
Always a classic. Forgot how good this album was.
so fûhlts sichs mabey ah zum en cowboy si und i glaub da losed so alti wester men
Classic
Not bad but kinda boring, I’ll need to come back and give it another shot. Probably with the rest of the Doors’ discography.
loooove the doors
I like when The Doors are more proto punk and less hippies. This album has some moments I loved but in occasions there were does cringe Doors moments. Will probably never listen again.
one of my favorites ever
Ça prend plus que 2 chansons pour faire un bon album. 3/5
When I listened to this album in high school I didn’t get the hype. I kind of wrote off The Doors but have been making my way back. This listen, I so got it. Bluesey and psychedelic! So much to love.
I was hovering between 3 and 4....hard to decide. I love Jim's raspy voice, and in general the style...but many of the songs were too 60s rock 'n roll influened for my taste.
about neutral on this one. I get the vibe, its just not mine. but I don't dislike it either. 2.5 if I could.
Surprising how much I liked this. Great piano riffs
Some good music. A lot of dumb lyrics and drunk ego bs.
Ja det var väl bra, fattade inte riktigt dock att det var slut så trodde inte jag var färdig när jag tydligen hade börjat lyssna på nån annan låt. Inte helt insatt i lyricsen men i nån sång sjöng de typ ”she’s a good girl making babies for him” vilket ju inte var så kuligt va?
I enjoyed this album, but not more than the self titled debut. This album felt more bluesy, than experimental which sounds good, but I like them using sounds you don’t hear often. The vocal performance throughout was really good and there were moments where I was like wow, he really did that.
You know...I don't even remember completing it....but I did...not memorable.
I know the Doors get some flack for being overrated when compared with their contemporaries. But I tend to heavily disagree. Sure, they weren't doing anything groundbreaking in the studio or writing songs that were changing how generations saw the world. On the other hand, I think they their sound was incredibly unique for the times. A perfect blend of swamp, R&B, psychadelic with a charismatic front man. They're one of my favorite bands from the 60's. As for Morrison Hotel, it's one of my favorites that's up there with LA Woman. The song Roadhouse Blues kicks absolute ass that. It's difficult to picture anything other than yourself holed up in the corner of some saloon in the Southwest slamming beers when all of a sudden, a bar brawl breaks out. A close second is Peace Frog (the Door's psychedelic prowess on full display). A tremendous album with more than just a few hit singles. Top tracks: Roadhouse Blues, Waiting for the Sun, Peace Frog, Queen of the Highway, Maggie M'Gill
The Doors were one of my favorite bands for a good stretch of my late-teens and early-twenties and some of these tracks are dear to me, but I think there are at least two Doors albums that clear Morrison Hotel. The first half does a lot of the heavy lifting, but I admit I found myself enjoying Land Ho much more than I remember.
Fun psych blues stuff. Have you watched a movie set in 1968 (anachronistic) to 1974? Then you've heard this album before. Organ goes crazy here. Favorite Tracks: Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog, Indian Summer, Maggie McGill
perfect album
나쁘지않았다! 엄청 싫은 노래도 없었고 무난하다는 느낌?
Really liked this album, my favorites were The Spy, Roadhouse Blues, and Land Ho was really interesting too.
Not bad! ★★★
Probably my favorite doors album. Their sound really evolved with this one to more of a blues psych sound
4 or 5.
5/5
Very bluesy, decent album
5/10
Of all the Door's albums this one comes in at #4 for me. It's good, but not quite as good as the others. It starts off awesome with Roadhouse Blues, but kind of just goes downhill from there. Too much blues, not enough electric organ and Jim Morrison wonkiness. In a weird way, this is almost too polished for the Doors. I did notice some songs where they were trying to recapture their earlier sound with mixed results.
only liked one song
The Doors are simply not for me.
Really loving what I've seen from The Doors on the generator, honestly I didn't even realize who wrote this one when I started and after I started head bopping I was like "dang I should probably check". Not quite the high to high to high to high pacing that would get this among the ranks of my 'perfect albums' so far but very fun, great instrumentation, just a blast to listen to
183 El tercer disco que escucho de ellos (luego de The Doors (51) y LA Woman (67)) y pasó sin pena no gloria. Creo que The Doors es de esos grupos que me gustan más en su origen, que en lo que llegaron a ser.
Some alright songs like Waiting for the Sun but also some I hated. Overall still not the type of music I would listen to and a lot more songs I dislike than like.
Got worse as it went on, was maybe a 4 to begin with, now probably a 3. First few tracks reminded me of the minions soundtrack.
3/5 - A bit dated, however the overall quality of the songs within the albums are quite decent. For example the guitar in "you make me real" is really fun to listen to. The lyrics could be more interesting but are still very suitable for the songs within the album. I just wish the album felt less "static", in other words I wish there was variation in the structure of the album. Other than that though I quite like the album; would I listen to it in my own time? No, but I wouldn't be upset if someone put it on - in fact I would be decently content.
I listened to it whilst doing revision so it didn’t have my full attention meaning that I may think slightly worse or better of it when I re-listen to it however for now I thought it was really good. A nice rock album with clearly some blues influence. The guitar was really nice and the singing was good Overall a 3 stars A very strong 6 out of 10
Palatable, cool seeing the bluesy roots of some more rocky things, don’t really know why the Indian was bleeding out on the road but no matter, this was a bit better than fine
It was decent but not something I'd listen to again, 3.5/5
'Heavier' than I expected in some songs for want of a better word, I know that the 60s and 70s were defining eras for early rock so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised I'd just always thought The Doors would be more akin to something like the carpenters than to anything else, though I have no reason as to why I thought this. Interesting mix of instruments, not often you hear the likes of pianos and harmonicas alongside electric guitars and it doesn't sound too bad but unfortunately I found the singing uninteresting and not that great all things considered, particular in the louder more 'shouty' songs. Blue Sunday was enjoyable, but beyond that it was nothing special, little to say about other songs specifically. 46/100
Best - peace frog/land ho Worst- blue Sunday
The first four songs on this album and the two closers probably keeps this as a 4½★ regardless, but the rest of back it up pretty well even if it's not as strong (9.6) ★★★★½
Not my favourite Doors album, but still really cool. 4 stars
This is probably like my 4th or 5th favorite Doors album, but it's still really good. The first half is wonderful, the second half a little less so, but I think there's still some great stuff overall. Highlights for me are "Roadhouse Blues", "Waiting for the Sun", "Blue Sunday", and my personal favorite, "Peace Frog". 4 stars.
3.5
An excellent Doors album all round. Essential mainly for the opener Roadhouse Blues which is one of their bluesiest best and features a howling awesome harmonica performance from my main man Lovin’ Spoonful frontman and Care Bears songwriter John Sebastian. Waiting For The Sun is another big epic essential Doors blammer and all the stuff after it is good - a meaty, moody, manly, mighty fine mixture. It’s not as high up as LA Woman on this list but still belongs here along with their debut and ideally Strange Days. Gonna get myself a beer now.
i liked land ho and waiting for the sun
Good solid album,
j'adore the Doors (mais d'autres albums >>)
Gostei. Provavelmente não vou pensar em ouvir de novo.
I've never been the biggest The Doors fan. I like a few of their singles. Especially the ones that have gone on to become iconic needle drops in cinema. Hard to deny the visceral impact of "This is the end" in Apocalypse Now. But none of that is here. I do not really like Morrison Hotel.
The folky country stuff was pretty meh but the rest was fun
Some excellent tracks. Some not great. Overall worth a listen if you like the Bluesier Doors.
Big fan
Great moments trapped inside a band that cannot stop sabotaging itself with mysticism and keyboards.
unremarkable
не мое, классический рок 70-х 3/5
Good album just not my type of music nor favorite tome of genre. Very much rock and blues type of album. All in all, still a decent album.
I really like the bluesy vibe here, which usually isn't the case for me so I gotta give it props there. The songs are just energetic and unassuming, and leave a good impression on me. The keyboard makes such a difference for The Doors. The way it integrates with the guitar is so different than most rock music, and it really works imo. The timbre of the vocal is also really unique to this band in such a good way. The arrangements and songwriting feel so purposeful. I think the way it's produced leaves a little bit to be desired, but it is largely made up for in the quality of the songs otherwise. The instrumental performance is tight and impressive without trying too hard. It's dynamic and everything plays off each other in a way that really resonates with me. The guitar riffs are so good - they don't quite melt your face off, but they still demand my attention either way. Even the songs that I don't think are awesome still got me vibing and having a good time. This album falls short of being 5 stars, but it's really not far from it. A better mix might have gotten it there, if only barely. I also appreciate how this album respects your time at 37 minutes. One of the biggest flaws with some albums is that they overstay their welcome. Not a problem here. It sticks the landing and gets out of the way. 11 good tracks. Respect. 4.3/5
Honestly mid, I mean my opinion is probably highly influenced by the fact that I was doing maths while listening to it so I wasn’t really focused on the music. Probably should give it a second listen.
its like fine, would probably use it as background for a movie or sum
love the doors and will always love the doors
i liked it! i’m tired and i don’t have much else to say right now. i feel like they have a distinct sound
Straight Blues Rock Album. No "Hits" on it, but it has a nice flow. Fav: Waiting for the sun
My third Doors album on this list. Third. There’s no Whitehouse, Naked City or Death on this list but there are THREE Doors albums. Maybe there’s more, who knows? As per my other Doors reviews, there’s nothing remarkable or brilliant about this. Nothing that has really stood the test of time and it was an absolute chore to get through.
I was so excited for this listen. I just love the doors man, they are so good
Jim Morrison has taught us all that it's possible to simultaneously do way too much heroin and have your head be way too far up your own ass.
Couldn't get through the album as I found it really dull. Felt very flat. Not for me!
Morrison Hotel is filled with bluesy melodies and a psychedelic rock undertone, making it an enjoyable listen even if it’s not my favourite Doors album.
Its the Doors, what else is there to say. And I dont say that as a compliment. The only good songs they have are their greatest hits. Majority of the time their songs go on way longer then needed and Jim Morrison has one of the biggest egos in music history. All this band did was take elementary level song writing and put it over the musical equivalent of masturbating. Just get a best of album and avoid this
Not the type of music I willingly listen to. My father does though, so I do know some of the songs from the album. It was alright, but I probably wouldn't listen to it again.
1/6/2026 So it was fine. Nothing stood out really. But it was fun to learn about The Doors, Morrison, and their broader influence.
dad adjacent music but pretty good overall
É um bom álbum, as 4 primeiras músicas são ótimas. De forma geral é interessante.
From the couple songs I've heard before listening to this album, I guess it was kind of a letdown. It was just kind of loud nonsense — probably made sense to him, at the time.
Hell yeah this rocks
Decent
My fave is the spy 8 / 10
Sehr cooles Album, eine 9/10
I think a lot of songs on this album are played in movies. Seems timeless. Lyrics a bit confusing. Overall 6/10 or 7/10.
Понимаю влияние, качественный рок н ролл, но не мое
First time listening the the doors and very impressed. Instrumentals are amazing and I found myself paying more attention to it then vocals( I even forgot about the vocals sometimes). Although I don’t like the band (as in actual members, particularly Jim Morrison), their music is actually good. Song reviews in no particular order: Maggie M’Gill- Starts very nice. Very satisfying to listen to with headphones as parts are separated left and right ear. Love the bass. Percussion is at just the right volume. Guitar has bit of a percussive feel. Love the silence and how it starts up again. Lyrics are a bit basic but perfect for the piece. Found bobbing my head to the music. Added to playlist. 5/5 You make me real- the start sets the vibe straight away. Instrumentals 10/10. Keyboard mvp. I love the rasp in the vocals. Could see this as a very good dance music for people back in the day. I love the break and the way the keyboard and percussion come back. Cymbals on the drums add to the rhythm. I like the accenting and flow of the piece. Nice and quick. No complaints. 5/5 Indian summer- has a lot more chill vibes than other songs on album. Makes me feel like I can kick back, close my eyes and enjoy the music. Reminds me of siting on a couch and looking outside and watching the rain. Love the percussion and guitar. Felt like a rainy summer day. 5/5 Roadhouse blues- right from the start I love it. Harmonica is nice. Keyboard adds a bit of flair. Once again found myself moving to the music. The instrumental music is just wow, sensational. I like the call and response with vocals and harmonica and then guitar. Bit of a jazz like ending. 5/5 Land ho!- has a feel good vibe. Once again the intro and instrumentals slay. Vocals seem like more of a focus than other songs in this album. Love the breakdown before the first land ho is yelled. Has a bit of a folk or seashanty vibe; like a story is being told. 5/5 Peace frog- love the percussion, bass and keyboard intro. Rhythmic call and response guitar and keyboard is satisfying. Backing vocals add a nice touch. Guitar solo is amazing. I love the changes in musical textures, makes the piece a lot more interesting for the whole time.5/5 Waiting for the sun- more laid back. Made me kinda sleepy. Vocals were more impressive in the piece. Guitar performance was nice. Keyboard added nice touches. Bass and percussion held the whole song together. The little rests were nice. I love the flow of the song. Again rhythmically great. Felt very original. Catchy and found myself singing along towards end. This song surprised me and was not what I thought it was at the start. 5/5 Blue Sunday- vocals were good here. I like the accents and flow of the piece. Nice guitar runs. Had a romantic feel. Nice non-lexical vocals. Guitar solo was solid. Reminds me of the summer. 5/5 Ship of fools- the music had me right away. Love the keyboard. Felt a bit rebellious. I like the message they are trying to convey. Guitar has attitude. Drums are slaying. 5/5 The spy- another iconic intro, I swear they slay every time. I felt like a spy. Felt a bit western. I like how they change musical texture and thin in out to a few elements and bring it back. Solid vocal performance. Feels like I’m an undercover cia agent walking down the street. 5/5 Queen of the highway- keyboard feels a bit retro. Drums is domin-eating. Love the tempo pick up. Top tier accenting once again. Guitar doing some cool stuff. 5/5
I liked it although some songs a bit repetitive
AAAAGH I REALLY LIKED THIS ALBUM.. PEAK AF.. Reminds me of many things i like..🪚
I first listened to this when I was half asleep and found Morrison’s voice so soothing somehow. Listened later while reading the lyrics, which definitely do not improve the experience. The last few songs relax into a very pleasing bluesy groove that I liked a lot. I added “Maggie M’Gill” to my Generator playlist.
Overall: 7/10 I think going back to basics worked out for these guys for the most part. I found that this album started out strong, but lost a bit of steam near the end before ending on the great Maggie M'Gill. The organ is still the best thing about The Doors. Fav Song: Peace Frog
2026.01.04.
So far I’m enjoying this way less than I thought I would — tracks one and two seem super boring and repetitive to me. And most of the rest with a couple that are ok only because they sound so sixties I enjoyed the vibe. Eg. Queen of the Highway. Also why did the band agree to name an album after one of their members…I don’t think anyone thinks that McCartney Lodge would be a great album name. I also listened to it on shuffle by accident which really can’t have helped it’s cause.
the old country vibe just wasn't for me
arranca fuerte y te atrapa rápido, a lo largo del álbum se mantiene esa energía cruda y medio sucia, que no intenta ser perfecta. "the spy" es ni favorita, tiene algo muy hipnótico que no explota pero te envuelve despacio con un ritmo medio oscuro que te hace sentir que estás escuchando algo medio prohibido. despues "peace frog" en cambio es más incómoda entra con una energía rara y te deja pensando que no es para disfrutar alegremente sino para sentirla. también me gustó que no suene recargado todo es simple y directo sin cosas de más y eso hace que sea fácil de escuchar tanto de fondo como con auriculares. mil veces mejor con auriculares igual. le doy un 8.75/10
favorite songs: waiting for the sun peace frog/blue sunday
no
2/10 The USA only had two good bands in the 60’s and 70’s (Beach Boys, CCR), so they latched onto any old shit (The Doors).
Cool
Great!
This album has two terrific songs, "Roadhouse Blues" and the sometimes-overlooked gem "Peace Frog", both of which are tough, punchy and innovative rock 'n' roll tracks. The rest of *Morrison Hotel* doesn't follow that same blueprint though - a lot of the other songs are pop rock numbers (of varying quality) that border on the psychedelic, such as the moody "Blue Sunday", the peppy "Ship Of Fools" and the bizarre "Land Ho!", along with a few fairly unimaginative excursions into the blues ("You Make Me Real", "Maggie M'Gill"). Despite the uneven material, the band plays solidly on this record, especially guitarist Robby Krieger, whose playing on "Peace Frog" is electrifying.
LOVE THE DOORS!!!! Previous review: What a beaut! Waiting for the sun and roadhouse blues are stand outs. This is my all time favorite band! This is their third best album in my opinion and the first to not be a 100. My order is as follows: the doors, la woman, Morrison hotel, waiting for the sun, strange days and soft parade. Other voices and full circle do not exist.
This has been my first studio project by The Doors themselves. In my teens I got myself "The Very Best of The Doors" which is over two hours of compiled material without the mixing and conceptualization of a dedicated project. Curiosity killed the cat, and my desire to put on the Doors with much frequency. This project here, however, this was a cohesive piece of art. One of my favorite Doors tracks is Peace Frog and it was great to feel how the band intended that to come up, and later drift onto the next song. The production work is quality. I've heard some questionable details on some of these earlier records, but Morrison Hotel has nothing but competent artists making everything work together as a single project. Jim Morrison carried the band with his clear and pleasing vocal projection mixed together with some pretty creative song writing, but it doesn't take much to see everyone involved brings a lot to the table. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this so much. I feel like it changes as I listen to it. 4.2/5
Love it. Own it.
If a brown trench coat became a person, this would be one of its favorite albums.
Dit album voelt een beetje klein, donker, dozig en vlak, alsof het in een vacuüm is opgenomen en daarom geen relatie heeft tot de wereld. Niet elk liedje, maar wel een groot deel. Zelf houd ik er altijd van als muziek klinkt alsof het in een ruimte is, in plaats van een donkere doos. Ik denk wel dat het heel goed in films zou passen, maar dan alleen in nachtelijke scènes. Ik heb een paar productionele irritaties. Op sommige liedjes van dit album de drums volledig naar links hebben gepand en daar ben ik op tegen!!!! Bas en drums moeten in het midden of je moet 2 microfoons gebruiken zodat je alsnog een midden geluid hebt, maar dat het breder klinkt. (Ik weet dat ik dit kan oplossen door het geluid op mono te zetten, maar daar ben ik te lui voor) Daarnaast stond het orgeltje steevast te hard!
"Morrison Hotel" is a really solid early 70s rock album. That's it, that's the review. In all seriousness, The Doors managed to create a project that is almost consistently sonically interesting. The bass is a recurring highlight, and the guitars are obviously really good. I also adore the use of early synth sounds! The reason I didn't give this album five stars, is because I sometimes found myself getting a little bit bored during songs. This mostly happened on the back half of the album, which I think is a bit weaker than the first. "The spy" is the chief offender in this category, and is the only song I actively didn't enjoy. My favourite songs, on the other hand, were the two closing tracks "Maggy M'Gill" and "Indian Summer", as well as "Peace Frog".
niet m'n favoriete doors album maar mijn god wat een lekkere stem wat een heerlijke gitaar en bas
I think this is The Doors' heaviest album in terms of sound. The riffs are just so badass and heavy, the whole thing is also super psychedelic, almost acid rock at parts. I don't think the songwriting is at their best here, but it's The Doors - it's still really good.
Not a huge fan of the Doors but this is a really good album, maybe the best I heard from them.
Jim Morrison's voice has the level of persuasiveness and smoothness of a married, silver fox man. It blends so well with the raw-like instrumentals of the tracks. I just like The Doors hehe. Favorite(s): You Make Me Real; Peace Frog/Blue Sunday; Land Ho!
I have to admit that starting with Roadhouse Blues was a wonderful idea because it immediately put me in a good mood. The rest of the songs were alright, but the instrumental was just wonderful throughout. I think the timing may have just been great, but I also enjoyed listening to the album quite a lot. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, but 5 might be a bit too much, so 4 it is then, sad.
Over the years, I've come to the realization that The Doors are wildly overrated and Jim Morrison was a try-hard.
mehhhhhhh
Damn, I really wish this album had more variation. Some songs just sounded the same to me. The Doors is amazing but this is just not my favourite album from them.
At this time, the Doors have an identifiable style. This is a Doors album with nothing uniquely worth revisiting.
Some of the tracks here are fantastic (Roadhouse Blues, Peace Frog) and showcase the band’s blues bona fides & creativity. Other tracks just indulge Morrison’s formidable ego and are boring. Still, it’s better than I’d expect from this (overrated) band. A 3.
It has that classic 70s rockish vibe. The harmonica and the way the guitar sounds. Very similar to the last album. I like it, it's groovy. I really like the vibe but I don't have much else to say about it it's just a chill album. Favourite: Waiting for the Sun Least favourite: You Make Me Real
This record is all about "Peace Frog" for me, since it's one of only a handful of Doors songs that I still really like. So that was fun to hear again: "bloody red sun of fantastic LA"! I used to go to LA a lot for work, and I'd think of that song. But sure, it's also good to hear "Roadhouse Blues" and "Waiting for the Sun" from time to time, and even the songs that don't grab me as much are redeemed by the guitar and keyboards. So: while I was much more inclined to listen to the Doors when I was 18 years old, today I ended up enjoying "Morrison Hotel" as a whole more than I thought I was going to. 3/5 though because for me it's mainly just about that one song
Most people of a certain pedigree go through a Doors phase in their youth - I certainly had mine. They had mystique, sex appeal, danger, and the odd banging tune. Plus, there's only a few people of that pedigree in any given age group so you get to have or consolidate that outsider vibe you've so keenly cultivated for yo'self. But the problem with The Doors is that you very quickly grow out of them when the crack in their mystique shows. The cheesy keyboards which sound like you're walking around a carnival in which you're almost certainly going to be mugged in and where every ride is stuck together by chewing gum, the naive love songs, the copy paste rhythms. Morrison Hotel is my least listened to Doors album, mainly because it lacks the hits and it lacks the weirdness which set them apart. I like my Doors to be rough, mysterious, a little 'off'. People Are Strange, The End, Love Street, Break It Through. I like them less when they are straight Blues or when the Keyboards sound like Honky Tonk Hicksville. That's the vibe of this album. Not to say it ain't catchy and there ain't bangers. But they're bangers of a lesser degree. Even the songs with a touch of strangeness... They hit the spot that you want when you're a young Doors fan, but again they feel like lesser retreads.
Sounds like every Doors song I’ve ever heard.
i think this remjnds me alot of the velvet underground and i loveee the vibes i think its probs from the same time period as velv undg
Really didn’t do it for me
The Doors at their best
The whole album hits, might not be as hard as the leadoff Roadhouse Blues, but the short track list is very easy to listen to.
163/1089 Having not loved LA Woman, the first few tracks had me concerned that this would be the same, however the track run from Ship of Fools to Indian Summer was pretty enjoyable and a welcome change 61/100
I think I could really grow to love this album, but it did feel like certain songs were blending together. The only songs that really stuck out to me that I’d listen to again were “Roadhouse Blues” and “The Spy”. Still an enjoyable album, I just prefer other albums of theirs.
Maybe I’m more of a Doors fan than I thought. Their music brings me to a very specific mood. I have the desire to be in Santa Monica hunting vampires.
Who are you? I’m Jim Morrison. And who is he? A weird naked Indian. Not a huge Doors guy, but it was worth the listen. Roadhouse Blues is good, but I prefer the Ministry cover. 3.5⭐️
This project has learned me two things: I don't like post-punk and I really like The Doors.
Roadhouse Blues: great energetic start to the album, really sets a tone for what to expect as a first time listener. Waiting for the sun: chill but you can feel something is coming, the buildup is fun. This albums got kind of a country feel to it. Really enjoyed how amped it makes you. You Make Me Real: SO FUN! Makes you want to dance around your room and headbang. Peace Frog: still good, not saving it but it’s also a fun listen. The guitar solo is quirky. Blue Sunday: oh, okay I can vibe with this one. I like the slow pace, Jim Morrisons voice is way more impactful in this capacity. Ship of Fools; not as vibey Overal Vibe: it’s giving dive bar baddie, I gonna walk in and be the baddest bitch for clocking this album. Would I buy it on vinyl? I think so!
okay this sound is interesting😭 -okay so far roadhouse blues is making me think i won’t like this it’s too 50s/60s still -waiting for the sun has some cool instrumental moments -you make me feel real no thanks -blue sunday is fine maybe my fav so far -ship of fools is fine -okay i like the spy actually and its lowkey giving vecna especially in terms of will -okay indian summer is really good and making me byler emo like im depressed now
Not really any duds on this album, it's a smooth listen all the way through. Roadhouse Blues is criminally underrated. Might revise the stars later, after a few more listens, but it's a solid 4 stars for sure. Dad would have liked this one.
A quintessential genre defining blues album. 9/10
I don't like it at all. Not my type of music and none of it did appeal to me
Buen álbum, te transporta
Blues and r&b Roadhouse blues Waiting for the sun Peace frog Land ho
sure
Their fifth album. Rock. Roadhouse Blues is a really good, sexy, opening track. Waiting For The Sun is a cool psychedelic change of pace. I like Peace Frog too. The rest of the album is good enoigh but I prefer The Doors and L.A. Women overall.
I have a soft spot for the doors, I was really into them in high school and even though I’ve kind of grown past them, I still have a nostalgic enjoyment of some of their music. I said all that to say this album was rough. Don’t get me wrong, Waiting for the Sun and Peace Frog are two of their best songs. Everything else on here is pretty bad. I like psychedelic weird Doors, not bar band Doors, and a lot of this was boring blues rock. The other songs were weirdly sentimental ballads that really showcase how Morrison’s poetry wasn’t always great.
Was surprised that I quite enjoyed this. Still not a Doors fan tho.
The only way I can describe this album is a few great moments/songs hidden inside a mostly uninspired album. I like the sound of this album (the keyboard, mainly), but it just feels like half of the songs are stuck in the same blues formula. But hey, maybe I just don't like blues. The lyrics are meh but I don't really mind. Notable favorites: Waiting for the Sun, Blue Sunday, Queen of the Highway, Indian Summer. Not a bad album, but I'm sure they have better ones.
Afternoon listening session, and a pretty cool one. The Doors were responsible for a seismic push of underground American blues and rock n roll into the mainstream, and 1970’s Morrison Hotel showcases a lot of it. Beyond the first few, heavily blues driven tracks, this project unveils a surprising variety of influences and performances which I really enjoyed. The highly popular ‘Roadhouse Blues’ is exactly as advertised; big swinging bassline and confident, textured vocals from lead man Jim Morrison, but my appreciation of this album lies in the integration of funk, soul and acoustic influences across the tracklist. ‘Peace Frog’ is probably my favourite song, a funk driven track with a distorted, percussive guitar fill, cool synth line and fun delivery from Morrison despite a noticeably dark subject matter built on the metaphor of a rising flood of blood across America - seemingly an acknowledgment of growing prejudice and suffering. ‘Blue Sunday’ follows as a pretty love ballad, forming the most unique 2 track run of the album that honestly surprised me. ‘Indian Summer’ is in a world of its own here, a more atmospheric, alternative take on the romantic ballad archetype with more reverbed guitars and a riff that feel quasi-south Asian, layered beneath a softer, spacier vocal delivery from Morrison. I like this album, and it’s a fun length for the experimentation it offers, but the classic blues sound still isn’t something I’m drawn to listen to casually.
4/5
Za razliku od debija ovaj ima neki country prizvuk pa mi manje štima (čula sam usnu harmoniku 1 (jedan) put na albumu i iznerviralo me). Pjesme su manje konkretne i općenito se teže uživiti u album. Slabiji ali ne loš.
Listenable.
twas nice but not really my preferred genre of music so i’ll most likely not tune in again
Fun energetic blues rock. A bunch of cool riffs, and the atmosphere was pretty good. I thought the first half was a bit better, but there isn’t really a song I disliked here. Nothing out of the ordinary but still a pretty well made and enjoyable album. 7/10
One of the best Doors albums, which is saying a lot. Bluesy rock and roll, less psychedelic than their peers or some of their other stuff. The transition from Peace Frog to Blue Sunday is superb.
Not my fave, but it’s got my favorite Doors song ‘Peace Frog’ so…
Bluesy, gravelly, alcoholic loveliness
Awesome rock
i love the doors
ily forever jim <3 the 2020 remaster has some very fun takes
I'm a latecomer to the Doors. Never liked them as a kid. Like them much more now. This is not my favorite of their albums. I actually find their blues a bit derivative, but "Peace Frog" and other songs here are quite good.
Peace Frog was the most played song on my iPod in middle school for good reason. The blues shines through but there are moments (as with several Doors records) that bored me here. Overall, its a stereoscopic adventure and the Doors are clearly having fun and in lock step with each other.
Jag gillar det, "peace frog" gillar jag. Inte ny favorit men kan tänka mig att lyssna igen.
It’s nice
Prob tied for first (alongside their first LP) for my favorite Doors record. This one is more… playful? I was always a bit confused by the dramatic shifts in style and mood between Doors songs (revved-up blues, psychedelic, brooding, pretty pop songs, etc…) but the jauntier songs on this one all work as nice compliments to Jim’s more “poetic” offerings.
I liked some of the guitar and bass intricacies, but ultimately it didn't hold my attention very well and didn't leave a lasting impression to the point where I barely remember any of it Standouts Ship of Fools 3/5
Good vibes! Liked it
it was good i liked it
Listenable, good vibes. Gives me the feeling of being in a bar l/restaurant midday somewhere in cowboy country.
Not as good as their debut…or Soft Parade….or in fact Strange Days…but indeed an excellent Doors album.
The mix of rock and blues are marvelous. It was a great experience to hear this album and maybe I can revisit this again someday.
Now Morrison Hotel was just an absolutely fantastic album. I already had high hopes coming into this album as i really liked L.A. Woman a lot too but this one not only managed to meet those expectations but it also managed to be better than the album i mentioned prior. This album managed to be just nothing but bangers throughout all it's runtime. They all had this really fun blues style which i was always so excited to hear and each song managed to keep that fun but also still was able to be distinct enough from each other to never at any point make me sick of it. I genuinely can't think of a single bad thing to say about this album, it's just so good. Best Song: Waiting for the Sun Worst Song: Indian Summer
I did enjoy this more bluesy sound from the doors. Kind of mid but fun one-time listen.
An absolute classic, not the best Doors album but top-tier nonetheless. Favourite tracks: Roadhouse Blues & Peace Frog. Already in rotation. 5/5
Energizing, perfect for a fast long walk
Funny timing, I was listening through LA Woman and An American Prayer yesterday. Fantastic listen, top to bottom, Morrison really was something wild.
More of a bluesy sound, listened to a background rock music.
Love The Doors. Liked this album but it’s nowhere near my favorite Doors album. It has a couple of classics but it’s not as exciting & different as some of their others.
Good
