Reviews (page 14 of 14)

A few standout tracks but mostly filler made up of boring hippie blues.

I fucking HATE the Doors. HATE HATE HATE. Self-indulgent twaddle.

ugh NO thank you. i do not like the doors i do not like jim morrison. i do not like this album.

Fake poetry boomer crap.

LA woman was the only one i might go back to download. not my cup of tea. was building a bed so maybe i should give it another shot

Nothing will ever make me like The Doors

Have I not suffered enough

holy ass

I always feel like I'm missing sonething when I listen to The Doors. They are fine musicians and songwriters, but there is a simplicity and campy quality that keeps me from fully connecting to any of their songs. Jim Morrison is also a character I have a hard time enjoying. His reputation as an asshole proceeds his vocal talents, and on LA Woman he sounds absolutely shit faced. I smell booze when I listen to this album. Some singers sound great when they've had a few drinks, but Jim really needed to put the bottle down. Good thing Riders On The Storm was on this album or else there would be nothing here for me to compliment.

One middling track at the end of this record cannot save all the filter here. This album sucks.

Pretty boring and slow imo. just not my thing unfortunately. 1.5/5 stars.

Possibly the most overrated band ever. This album is almost entirely just formulaic 12-bar blues with self-indulgent lyrics taken from a teenager's poetry book.

👎🏼

Dreary.

The Doors are trash. Full stop.

Indulgent and experimental, but mostly annoying

I'm a firm believer that there is no longer be a Doors fan once you turn 15. Because at 15 you become too mature for lyrics written by someone with a 14 year old's mentality. The Doors may be a great band, I wouldn't know. It's impossible to get past Jim Morrison and his ego. This album did nothing to change my mind from that opinion.

Meh. I do like some Doors songs but there are so many better bands of this era and frankly better Doors albums. Jim Morrison was an inspiration for the early punks, so I have to give him that.

Not my vibe. Some old samples from this album

Okay, full disclosure, I think the Doors are the most overrated band in History!!!!!!

Ride the lightning ah album

This album sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Morrison drones on about being some kind of mysterious “L.A. man,” but really, he sounds more like a lost tourist at a karaoke bar. The Doors managed to take every psychedelic cliché and shove it into one bloated album. If I wanted to listen to a midlife crisis, I’d call my uncle and ask him how he’s doing.

More effort needed

Reminded me why I dislike The Doors - THIS BORING AS HELL!!! I think the fact that The Doors are so widely lauded makes me dislike them more. Jim Morrison sounds like he's 45+ years old.

Not a fan of this band

First half of the album felt like the extended version of “bad to the bone”. Very boring

I do not like the doors

His voice is so annoying.

Not a fan

Hate it.

Some very strange album choices on this list. This wasnt great, really sounds like a band that had run out of ideas.

Straight out the gate with a growling, gravely, sex-god voice. Maybe trying /too/ hard to have a growling, gravely, sex-god voice. Yerk - dad blues. Overall, not a lot of "there" there.

Riders on the storm ist das einzige, was man ohne Drogen hören kann...

I really didn’t like The Doors growing up. So when I saw this album pop up I was very apprehensive. But then I listened and I have to say, I was right. The Doors aren’t good. I don’t care for this. Nearing the end of the album I thought “at least this wasn’t the album with Riders on the Storm.” But - BAM - there it was, one of my least favorite songs ever. Hard pass.

Too country

The Doors have all the same problems as the Red Hot Chili Peppers - three gifted musicians and a gibbering fool for a frontman - but none of the self-awareness or entertainment value. What a dogshit band.

I get why people like Greta Van Fleet now.

... ok fine

I fucking hate The Doors, honestly the SHIT you can get away with if you're good looking, it's disgusting. Terrible.

God it's so boring.

משעמם

This album did not do it for me. I wanted to like it but all the songs sound the same and didn’t have any catchy hooks that reeled me in.

The Doors are not for me.

Overrated.

I'm just happy it's over

I *do not like* gravelly Jim Morrison. Like fingernails on a blackboard. For the two recognizable songs that are fine where he doesn't sing gravelly: 1.5/5.

Another bland "classic/alt/psychedelic rock with a touch of country" albums to throw on the pile.

The ultimate pub rock band? I have never seen the appeal of Jim and co. The band are tight, but it just all feels a bit obvious. And the lyrics seem fairly banal while trying to sound mysterious. Maybe the album recorded 3 months before Morrison's death is not the best intro, but this is not for me.

If this didn't have the name of The Doors on the front, then you might dismiss it as a CD sold after a pub gig by a village blues band.

ok y q pretendes q haga no se..

This was a struggle. Turgid 12 bar blues.

Possibly the most overrated band of all time. This album has few high points. The big 2: Love Her Madly and Riders on The Storm aren't bad and L'America is at least a bit interesting but that's about where it ends. Too much awful, awful blues rock. It was a chore to get through. I could probably give it a 2 for the few positives that it has but I want to completely dunk on this album because the band is so overrated and the fans...well, I'll just not say anything more.

doors more like MID

Terrible blues with a terrible singer. 3/10

An all time classic

Marty likely was a racist fuckhead, but I can't deny he's the king of the mid-century country ballad.

Great! Love the bluesy feel.
