Just a quality album. No more words.
8/10, Classic bluesy rock, basically their favourite juice.
I always thought this was a cool entry in the Doors discography -- it's a lot bluesier but still retains some of their psychedelic leanings, so you end up with this weird blues album that's almost like Captain Beefheart or future Tom Waits. There's a couple tracks I don't love, but even those are interesting. My favorites are "Riders on the Storm", the title track, "Hyacinth House", and "Been Down So Long". 4.5 stars.
classic sloppy white boy blues - what's not to love
The album sound so familiar that you almost forget hoe good this blus based album is.
Det er helt sikkert blues rock. Kan godt lide overraskende godt. Ville ikke rigtig høre det om fredagen, fordi jeg ikke synes det var energien. Kunne bedst lide Cars hiss by my window Crawling King snake The changeling Riders on the storm (selvfølgelig det er bare et godt nummer tbh) Gode melodier immaculate vibes.
Well, I guess it's time for my last time listening to an album from The Doors for this project. Fitting, seeing as this was the last album released by the band in Jim Morrison's lifetime. How did the Doors finish their career with Morrison? Pretty well! This album's great! I don't think it's quite as good as their debut, but I would say it's better than Morrison Hotel. I don't have a ton to say that I didn't say in those reviews. Jim Morrison's singing is as great as ever. I really like the style of this album. It doesn't feel quite as energetic as some of their earlier stuff, but I think that works here. That's not to say that there aren't bops here, but the album is definitely a bit bluesier than the others I've heard. The songs and writing are pretty good too. I wouldn't call any of the songs here bad. "Lover Her Madly" is a solid love song. I like the title track. It's pretty good too. And of course, the highlight of the album comes from its closer, "Riders on the Storm." This song is just excellent. Overall, while it's not my favorite Doors album, L.A. Woman was a great closing album for the band, even if it had to be that way for less than great reasons. High 4/5.
good one
Season one True Detective ass album. Dad rock. No, Uncle rock. The weird uncle and the cool uncle. Immaculate vibes, rough execution.
Doors haters are dipshits. Sure Jim's a drunken buffoon who thinks he's a poet or whatever, but LA woman captures a city's essence in ways even novels struggle to. Cool ass guitar, ranging from slide blues to just about everything else from Robbie, interesting jazzy drumming from big Densmore, and titanic musicianship from big Ray. Anyway they drank their own koolaid and Jimbo drank himself to death, but give the devil her due.
I'm not sure any album by The Doors has really held up, at this point. Yes, there are still millions of fans and a lot of still-fervent fans and new people finding them every year. However, with so many artists that have taken from The Doors and made newer versions and the drugged-out approach of the 60's out of vogue, listening to The Doors does feel like looking through a window to a different time. That being said, I do still like an occasional listen to them, and I think one could argue "L.A. Woman" is their best album, though I may be split between this album and "Strange Days," myself, and I think many may believe the first album or "Waiting for the Sun" are better with their strong singles and being more approachable. In any case, I think this is a classic album that should be listened to, even if I don't think it holds as much relevance as it did maybe into the late 90's.
Nice
Riders of the storm is a masterpiece and most of it is pretty nice
Cool
At times quite funky
The Doors are always good. Riders of the Storm is dramatic and all-around excellent. Good stuff. When God closes a door, he opens a window, after all.
还行
Probably the Doors album I like the most. The last 3 songs are the most solid run in the album, but there are some good songs scattered throughout.
Very nice album to start with
Love her madly, L.A. woman and Riders on the storm - all such tuuuunes! The rest were less amazing so its a solid 4* from me :)
Blues psychedelic rock mixed with folksy vibes , and successful experimental work .. just the type of album that hits the right spots for me… Haven’t heard much of the doors before but they lived up to the hype
Plenty of filler here but the bangers keep it bouyant....
In high school I went on a mission to get to know the classics. I Pirate Bay'd as much as I could of all the rock bands that I understood to be the most important/foundational. Among this was a Doors best of album, which I really enjoyed as a teen. Over the years, the sheen has faded a bit from the doors, but I definitely still like them. I think Jim Morrisson's (or Bruce Morrisson as the DJ on the Bar Harbor classic rock station called him on our Acadia trip) lyrics are what I've pulled away from most. He's a great singer, but not the great poet he aspired to be/I'm sure thought he was. This album definitely rocks. My standouts are Love Her Madly and Riders on the Storms, and the part where he says "Mojo Rising". L'america sucked. They should have cut that one. Album cover: (B+/A-)
This album was pretty sweet. The Doors don't sound like I expected them to sound. There's a lot of riff-heavy songs. I liked "L.A. Woman" and "Crawling King Snake" a lot. "The WASP" was also sick. I had no idea "Riders on the Storm" was by The Doors. They've put the most famous song right at the end! 7/10
this album has one of the most inspiring songs in rock and roll - L.A. Woman is a glorious, top down, hair blowing music blaring as loud as possible as you howl and shout-sing flying down the road. the bangers are interspaced with some pretty psychadelic stuff in between. Love Her Madly another gem and Riders on the Storm - these 3 tracks alone for me make it a 4-5
This feels like a world away from the debut album just three years earlier. Some songs feel a little weary with Morrison's voice showing some cragginess. But the songs that shine (sometimes darkly) -LA Woman, Riders on the Storm, Love her Madly, The Changeling, L'america make up for the rote second rate blues of Cars Hiss by my Window and Crawling King Snake. Not perfect but compelling.
More blues than I like, but it is still unique.
Excellent psychedelic blues vibes, riders on the storm is still amazing. The inbetween songs are tasty jams with a good sound. I was trying to come up with reasons not to revisit but i guess i will have to now.
Een krampachtige poging om de inhaalslag te maken te midden de feestdagen. Deze moet lukken. Niet lang terug natuurlijk ook een Doors-plaat getroffen, dus het referentiekader is er. Die plaat bloedde na de iconische opener beetje bij beetje dood, en liet wat betreft consistentie te wensen over. Deze plaat draait dat op z'n kop, en komt wat mij betreft moeizaam o gang, maar belandt vanaf de titelsong in een fascinerende flow van psychedelics, roots rock en blues. Het laatste trucje van het complete viertal, en met een paar van hun beste composities ('Riders on the Storm' en de zeer ondergewaardeerde trip 'L'America'.) De lat die gelegd werd door hun debuutplaat werd nooit echt meer bereikt, maar dit zijn toch wel waardige rock-albums. 7,5/10 Highlights: L'America Hyacinth House Riders on the Storm
Some great songs here, but some meandering parts where I think they indulged Jim Morrison a bit too much. All the same one of their best albums 4.5*
3.5★. A great mix of boggy, swampy blues, traditional rock 'n' roll and the more surreal/somber psychedelia that The Doors are famous for.
Obviously, there are undeniable hits and classics on this album, like "Love Her Madly" and "Riders On The Storm". Then there's the experimental songs that make this album really interesting like, "L'America" and "Hyacinth House". I'd throw the title track into either of the two categories. Those are five of ten of the tracks that are absolutely amazing. The rest are blues tracks with varying ranges of energy. Some work, but "Crawling King Snake" was the most necessary. Overall, incredibly enjoyable album. 4/5

I still remember hearing riders on the Storm for one of the very first times. Coming back from Kings Island on a bus full of kids... It had to be around 1985. We had a boombox with detachable speakers in the back of the bus. We took turns putting the speakers up to our ears like headphones and listening to it. I think I played it about three or four times in a row. I had heard Jim Morrison sing before, but I must say his voice is so deep and dark it was almost scary to me as a kid. From that point on I fell in love with the doors. Let's be honest a couple of these songs on this album are just terrible. But it has some greatness and elite psych rock as well. LA woman is one of the best driving songs of all time. If you can't turn the volume up and want to drive 100 mph then you're not living man. Riders on the Storm is a perfect blend of a jazzy drum beat, Ray manzarek steals the show with his keyboards that transport you to a higher level of consciousness...and Morrison's haunting vocals, they all mesh as one. Texas Radio is in its own realm and universe. One of the few times as an adult I wished I still had some acid and time to listen to this about 8 times in a row.
I like The Doors. Blues rock at its finest. Morrison was a weird cat but he inspired generations. It would interesting to see who he would have become later in life. L.A. Woman isn’t a constant rotation album, but it’s great for a rainy day listen or a roadtrip.
A classic
I generally find The Doors a bit overrated, but this is a really good time. Nice and bluesy, without too much strange abstract songwriting from Jim Morrison. And “Riders on the Storm” is an all-time jam.
Magnifique !
I enjoyed this album, The Doors are very much aligned with music that I enjoy so always open. Grant and I laughed when realizing that this album was recorded in the bathroom of the hot dog shop we went to in Los Angeles.
Visited the LA hot dog shop bathroom this was recorded in two months ago. The “Jim Morrison Memorial Shitter”
It’s crazy how Jim Morrison sounds like a 40 year-old man when he’s only in his 20s at this point. A classic.
unexpectedly iconic, a couple of songs added
Great album Jim Morrisons vocals are really good here the best track is love her madly In my opinion where the guitar really shines and the lyrics are great overall the album is a great listen but there is a bit of filler
Fantastic band just a shame they didn't support Radiohead when we went to see them
This is my second album by The Doors. Morrison Hotel proved to me I've been sleeping on this band. L.A. Woman proved I've been sleeping on Jim Morrison as a singer. Really good stuff.
Excellent album. Driving and ballsy songs that still maintain a level of brevity and fun. The B side is definitely weaker, but the ending more than makes up for it. Overall very enjoyable. Top tracks: The Changeling, L.A. Woman, Riders on the Storm
Solid
This album has a few amazing songs (Riders on the Storm and Love Her Madly being timeless classics), a few middling songs that are just the basic blues, and then a few weird ones that didn't click with me.
Een enorm bluesy album van De Deuren. Ideaal om aan te zetten tijdens het werk. Ik heb hier verder niet zo heel veel over te melden. Ik ben geen Doors fan, dus er heerst geen totale jubelstemming dat ik deze eindelijk mag luisteren van de Heer of iets dergelijks. Ik ga 4 sterren geven omdat ik me, eerlijk is eerlijk, op diverse punten in het album wel een klein beetje verveel. Ik heb nu wel zin om die film nog eens een keer te kijken.
One of the great live performances: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=--RYPHqbD50
3.5, but rounding up to 4 because of Riders On The Storm. Killer track
OPEN THE NOOR 8/10
L.A. Woman, The Doors’ final album with Jim Morrison, sees the band leaning fully into the blues-rock direction hinted at on Morrison Hotel, shedding the surreal psychedelia of their early work for a raw, soulful, and mature sound. Morrison delivers one of his most compelling performances, his grittier, world-weary baritone lending emotional depth to tracks like "Riders on the Storm" and swaggering bravado to the bluesy "Been Down So Long." His electrifying delivery on "L.A. Woman," especially the iconic "Mr. Mojo Risin’" refrain, and his haunting whispers on "Riders on the Storm" showcase an artist both defiant and reflective, blending personal musings with mythic Americana. The rest of the band—Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, and John Densmore—are at their best, with Krieger’s versatile guitar, Manzarek’s atmospheric keyboards, and Densmore’s jazz-inspired drumming creating a perfect foundation. While some straight blues tracks feel less remarkable, they’re elevated by the band’s musicianship and Morrison’s charisma. The haunting "Riders on the Storm" closes the album and Morrison’s career with poetic brilliance, a fitting farewell to one of rock’s most enigmatic figures. Less than three months after its release, Morrison was gone, leaving L.A. Woman as a powerful swan song to his legendary career. Did/Do I own this release? For some reason, we had this in our family car. Does this release belong on the list? The Doors' prolific output in just four years cements their legacy, but choosing which album best represents their brilliance is no easy task. Would this release make my personal list? Probably, but narrowing it down to one Doors album is tough. Will I be listening to it again? Absolutely—a timeless road companion.
Very different sound to the last Doors album I reviewed. I prefer the lean into blues rock much more
Loved it. Good memories.
- 9/10 songs added to main playlist - Favorite song: Riders on the Storm
This is a blues rock album, no way around it. The band is hitting firing on all cylinders and the vocals are great. The playing is really tight and overall I feel like it takes the best parts of blues and the best parts of psychedelic rock and combines them into a great package. I must admit, I find that is starts a little weak, but as the album goes on it gets better and better. The first two tracks aren't my favourite, but the third track 'Been Down So Long' picks things up and chugs along nicely. 'L.A. Woman' which is bluesy rock and roll is tied for the best track along with 'Riders on the Storm' which is a journey. 'L'America' and 'Hyacinth House' are both great but a little weirder than the rest. Overall a fun album, and I enjoyed listening to it quite a lot.
Great album. Multiple classics, and loved the blues tunes as well.
A few classics on this album.
very good vibes
Really good stuff. More standard performance from the Doors but a lot tighter in most places. Some really great songs here, love the bluesy focus
The last Doors record as far as I'm concerned. Morrison's voice is reduced to a growl for a lot of this record. Lots of great songs on here (the title track is my favorite Doors song) and some mehh songs. Still a great record
Yeah I'm a Doors fan I love that all their albums not only benefit from multiple listens but demand them, and each time they reveal something a little more 8/10 Fav tracks - All-2 Least fav - Hyacinth house, crawling king snake
The Doors were the first band I really got properly into when I 'got into music'. Blah blah blah it's a psyop whatever yeah Jim Morrison's dad was responsible for the Gulf of Tonkin and started American involvement in the Vietnam war. Well his son died a fat bloated overdosed corpse in Paris so I think that's pretty decent karmic balance. This album rips open with The Changeling and Love Her Madly, songs I have probably heard more than my own name and I cannot get sick of them. Manzarek's on the keyboard really shines on both of these songs, but the same is true for basically every single Doors song where his keyboard work is the best part of it (sure as shit isn't the lyricism). Been Down So Long and Cars Hiss by My Window are a lull, not a whole lot to say about these songs. L.A. Woman, really probably the best song the Doors ever did, really a culmination of Morrison's vocals/nonsense lyrics working perfectly with the instrumentation from the band. If this album is a bookend with their debut, this is like if you took The End and made it a good song. L'America/la snoozefest. Hyacinth House is a deep cut I've always been a fan of, it's a shame this song doesn't get talked about but bullshit like Soul Kitchen gets glazed to no end. Crawling King Snake, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) AKA 'I am waiting for the end of this side so I can listen to Riders on the Storm'. What else is there to say about Riders on the Storm other than this song fucking slaps six ways to Sunday? Most of the time I listened to this song on shitty cheap ipod headphones so it was a whole new experience to listen to it on a decent hi-fi system and really be able to soak it in.
It's not even the hits, although they are stellar, it's the playing that gets me, especially Manzarek. Just brilliant.
3.5
I've rounded this up because I like The Doors but it loses its way at times.
some bangers
I don't think this one stacks up to their original, but definetly has some great hits in it. Riders on The Storm is a fantastic tune and it set a nice vibe
i'm not from LA but the album is still cool i guess
I don't remember ever listening to this one end-to-end. The hits have always been staples and are great and the rest of the album has a cool blues feel that I love. Good stuff.
Boa música dos anos 70. Músicas favoritas: Love her madly, l’america e Riders of the storm.
Not my first blues rock, but definitely my first album by "The Doors". They do a fantastic job of writing blues instrumentation and lyrics, making it a really enjoyable listen. I also wasn't expected some of the psychadelic influences on this one, which was a nice surprise. Favorites were Love Her Madly, L.A.Woman, Hyacinth House, and Riders on the Storm.
Top 👍
Mix of radio hits, generic blues songs, and songs that sound like they were on a bender just jamming. The less prominent role of the Hammond Organ makes this my favorite Doors album. Solid 3.5 out of 5 so we'll round up.
I recently drove thru the Mojave Desert and in anticipation of that drive, I created a playlist. Riders on the Storm is such a great tune and was a perfect desert song. Morrison’s passion shines thru on L.A. Woman and the band hammers out some great blues rock. After the standout track, Love Her Madly, they his us with the excellent, Been Down So Long where Jim sings as a down and out prisoner. Jim Morrison is one of the all time great frontmen and his poetry and energy are at the forefront here. Great album 4 stars
That’s more like it, great record
Some of my favorite songs on this one, Love Her Madly and the title track. This album gets a bit weird toward the back half. Sounds like a band that has been drinking all night, then had to get up on stage and perform. Riders on the Storm is a great ending to the album. Solid 4.5 on this.
3.8
I listened to this a few times and feel like I enjoyed it more with further listens. Some fantastic blues-rock and a lot more developed and hooky than their debut which I thought was good but not great. My biggest gripe is the vocals but overall, I can see myself coming back to this when I'm in the mood.
Thoughts before listening: The Doors get a lot of hate in modern times. This seems to be more because of Jim Morrison's over the top (and often cringey) persona and the fact that every high school stoner goes through a Doors phase then any actual critique of their music. I have always found their sound to be one of the more interesting takes on the blues based 60s rock sound. This is definitely one of their better albums so I am glad to see it on the list. Review: This is one of the Doors most straight forward blues rock albums, and that makes it a favorite of mine. The title track alone is a rollicking, upbeat classic that builds in intensity throughout, and the album also includes "Love Her Madly", "Riders on the Storm", and a great opening deep cut in "The Changeling". All in all I'll give this 4-stars as one of the best from such an important band.
I want to love it but other than the three best songs (including "Love her madly", which is probably one of my most played songs ever) the rest of the album is pretty mid comparatively. I listened three times just to make sure, and yeah... it's alright.
Classic Doors, love the blues feel throughout. This is damn good stuff.
liked it more than i expected. outside of my wheelhouse
Much more country than I remember but is a repeat listen from now on. Excellent songs, fitting to listen to... 4.3
I'm generally a fan of the band, and this particular record shows a lot of mastery -- it's very straightforward in places with a great bluesy rock and roll feel, and totally weird in other places. The keyboard parts are awesome.
Love it then and now.
Why do people hate The Doors? I mean I guess if you don’t like 60’s rock, I know right guitar-centric music they wouldn’t really be for you. But other than that, I don’t get the hate. Maybe folks haven’t heard more than “Light My Fire,” “Break on Through,” and “This is the End.” I know I hadn’t heard much more before today and I still liked them. This was a great album. Great elements of blues rock, hard rock, with some psychedelia thrown in. Starts off hot and stays there for about half the album. I really thought we were destined for five stars here but everything after “L.A. Woman” and “Riders on the Storm” didn’t hit quite the same. Still though, I found very little to dislike here. I really think this is every member at their peak as musicians and creators. If someone only had one album to listen to for The Doors, it might be this one. Such energy, such cohesiveness. Really just a great time of an album. Four stars. Standout Tracks: The Changeling, Love Her Madly, Been Down So Long, Car Hiss by My Window, L.A. Woman, Riders on the Storm
Great album start to finish. One of the classics in my book.
Surprisingly funky!
Great listen, The Doors always hit the mark! However, not as enjoyable as Strange Days nor their self-titled debut for me. Too bluesy. Hyacinth House and Riders on the Storm were my favourite songs, with honourable mentions for Love Her Madly, Car Hiss by My Window and LA Woman.
not what i expected the doors to sound like (classic rock). notable song--Riders on the Storm
80% Best: Love Her Madly; L.A. Woman; Riders on the Storm Must-Hear?: Sure
1. The Changeling - 3,8 2. Love Her Madly - 3,6 3. Been Down So Long - 3,3 4. Cars Hiss by My Window - 3,1 5. L.A. Woman - 4,2 6. L’America - 3,1 7. Hyacinth House - 3,5 8. Crawling King Snake - 3,2 9. The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) - 3,4 10. Riders on the Storm - 4,1
I really enjoy the Doors but never find myself putting them on. This is a great example of their work. The keys/organ in particular are a big highlight (most of the time). Jim's vocals can get somewhat grating after a while but this is an above average album for sure. Riders on the Storm- what else do you need. 8/10 (4/5)
This completely surprised me. I was expecting long drawn out organ solos, but it had great guitar riffs and complete mix of different styles. Would definitely listen to this again. Very different to the doors i have been exposed to
really liked the album
Never been crazy on the doors, but this album is just cool. That's the best way to describe it. I can imagine myself cruising California in the summer with the top down and shades on, playing this album. I was leaning 3 star and rider on the storm as the closer pushed it to 4
Suffers a little from Jim putting on his blues voice for most of the tracks.
++: The Changeling, Love Her Madly, Been Down So Long, Cars Hiss by My Window, L.A. Woman, L'America, Crawling King Snake, Riders on the Storm +: Hyacinth House, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) 9,4/10
I think this is probably my favorite Doors album -- but I'd been away from them for so long (before this little project) that I lost track of it. Probably the most solid album from front to back that Jimmy Snakepants and the boys put together. Aside from the silly "L'America" and the unfocused "Hyacinth House" -- they're all pretty solid tracks. Unexpected bangers: Cars Hiss by My Window, The WASP
And so my personal debate begins, but I think I like their previous album just slightly more. It’s more adventurous musically, with its mysterious vibe that it creates and sustains throughout. This has some of that moody vibe to, but it’s just not as cohesive. Part of it for me is Morrison slips a little too hard into his down on his luck booze fiend Shaman that took me out of the moment at times when it went a little too overboard, but there’s still some major gems here sonically.
Ohhh, lot of songs on here that I don’t know. La woman is my favorite doors song. Wonder how much of this record is filler. Very bluesy. Wouldn’t call any of it filler. I like it. Easy 4 for me.
The Doors aren’t my favorite, but this is a very good Doors album.
Been Down So Long, might be my favorite Doors song, I like this one.
first listen cool stuff
Sonoridade maravilhosa da década de 70.
Classic rock is classic. In this case, I thought it was 60s rock but it was recorded in 1971. Oops. Enjoyable, this last blast of Morrison on the green side of the Great Divide.
Very Bluesy and Dark. Everything is great here, as per usual, and they always seem to know how to end their albums in the best way possible; Riders on the Storm here rounding it out like the classic it is.
I loved the bluesy feel here. It didn’t feel like a repeat of their other album I heard, so they were continuing to experiment and grow. Solid throughout.
A little too bluesy for me but it did leave me feeling high which is always a positive
Rating: 9/10 Amazing album overall. Very catchy, bluesy, and even a bit experimental. The highlights are particularly incredible, some of the band's best material is on here. The rest of the album is still great, more blues-inspired than the other Doors albums which was quite enjoyable. Definitely a dip in quality on Side B, Side A is 5 stars though. Favorite songs: The Changeling, Love Her Madly, Been down so Long, Cars Hiss by My Window, L.A. Woman, Crawling King Snake, Riders on the Storm. Worst song: L'America.
pretty goated gonna be real. i lov da door:s!
Listened to this twice, because I somehow knew it would grow on me the more I listen to it. It's pretty great with this blues-rock vibe that I really enjoy.
Morrison: "I am the Lizard King, I can do anything." Rest of the band: "Yeah, that's great and all, Jim. But can we just jam?" Morrison: "... yeah, sure. Sounds good." You can tell the band was pretty loose and were having fun. No 10-minute Oedipal stuff here. It's interesting how this and the first Doors album are probably the ones I liked most. It's like bookends to the band, and shows their evolution. I think the only song I did not care for was "L'America" and "The Changeling," which sound a bit pretentious. Regardless, I liked the album a lot. Top songs: "LA Woman," "Riders On The Storm," "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)," "Love Her Madly"
I think their debut is better, but this one is still pretty good. A lot of jamming, a lot of understated blues going on. Jim Morrison manages to keep it together long enough to put out one more album, and channel all his crazy into a macho vocal performance. The singles are all big, solid tunes - Lover her Madly, LA Woman, Riders on the Storm - but I don't know if there's a song beyond them that really sticks out. Maybe The WASP. Still, it's an album that fits together well. Somewhere between a 3 and a 4. I'm feeling generous today.
It's well done, but I'd need to be in a very specific mood to enjoy
I’m a sucker for anything blues based, but the version of Riders on the Storm with excessive band chatter at the beginning with no other noticeable changes was annoying
the doors is w
Day232 - sounds like the doors
Interesting album. I like it. Had a blues feel to it. Not all doors albums are like that though. I’m wishing it wasn’t a one off.
I will always remember listening to Riders on the Storm on Saturday mornings while we were finishing swimming practice - kicking back and forth while our coach regularly moved the needle back to the beginning so that it became a never-ending 30 minute song in my head.
I think there are both better blues albums and possibly better Doors albums, but this was an easy pleasurable listen full of familiar songs.
I did not appreciate that the youtube version was a 50'th anniversary deluxe 3.5 hr version with several outtakes of each song... great for a superfan, but not as an album listening experience. It can also feel a bit underwhelming listening to this because we've heard most of these so many times on the radio and other plays over the years, but this album full of good strong songs. Classics, slow and strong, with a backbeat that's hard to master.
Not sure if I had ever listened to this entire album before. Multiple classics, and loved the blues tunes as well.
Their best, near to a five.
Never really listened to the Doors, and I've now spent a lot of time with this record because I couldn't make up my mind about it. The R&B/blues-inflected rock is really solid - direct, energetic, unpretentious. Some of the songwriting is great, and gives a dark, psychedelic underbelly to the record. On the other hand, I don't dig the title track at all - which is a bit of a dampener because it's 7+ minutes. Jim Morrison is the main "hit and miss" component of the album: some of the tracks have a brooding seriousness in his performance; others have a gruff swagger; then a few sound like a weird, stodgy parody. You have to be on some drugs to think up "Mr Mojo Risin" as an anagram of your own name, then be convinced its interesting enough to be chanted for a large passage of an album. Overall though, it's an impressive album that has opened the doors of my perception on this band. 4*
Very good obviously but prefer older weirder psychier doors
So close to a full five star rating for me, just a tad long-winded and slow for my tastes. But I full appreciate it's greatest. Perhaps the best, or close to best Doors album. Something to listen to when on shrooms or weed and just lay back and vibe to.
My favourite Doors album - at least most of the time. You can hear Jim Morrison’s demise, but at the same time, the songs on here are just awesome. L.A. Woman is probably my favourite Doors song
Always liked this one, completely biased 4 stars…
L.A. Woman's on this afternoon
4+
It’s funny. When I hear some of these songs in a rock mix, I don’t really like them. However, taking the time to putting the album on and listening through, it actually fits together really well. Im pretty shocked I'm giving them 4 stars but I am…
Look, I properly love the doors. Having this album pop up basically prompted me to listen to three others by them right after. That's definitely worth 4 stars.
nice, easy listening
Despite featuring my 2 favorite Doors songs, this album as a whole really doesn’t hit like their debut album. Still excellent.
yes
This is a solid 3. But then the singles start playing and your mind is blown. There is a reason all young people go through a Doors phase.
Been a minute since I got the chance to talk about The Doors. They were such a solid band, and I have had nothing but positive things to say about them since I first heard the debut. Unfortunately this is the last time I’ll be able to talk about one of their records. Odd that Strange Days didn’t make the list. Another unfortunate fact is that this is their last album. By last, I mean last with Jim Morrison. The world lost him exactly two months and two weeks after this released. I’m aware that they made music after this. But Let It Be also came out after Abbey Road, but anyone with half a brain refers to the latter as their last. Mostly because it was the last one properly recorded. It’s different with The Doors. But everyone, including the band members themselves knew Jim was the heart of this group. It’s why they only made it a little over a year without him. But when you look back, what they achieved is remarkable for just 4 years. And I think they went out with a bang. Any bit of what you might have loved about them from previous albums is still present here. And some bits even feel turned up a notch. The production is fantastic, and makes the rhythm sections hit harder than they ever have before. The WASP has probably my favorite bass line they ever wrote. And I’m just now realizing after looking it up that they never had a bassist. Just session musicians. They do a good job though. Jim’s voice combined with his lyrics is still poetry. And I’m going to bring it up again, as I have in both of my previous reviews. Ray Manzarek is a fucking monster on this album. He just elevates these songs, and adds a whole other level of groove. Never imagined I’d find a keyboardist I liked as much as Rick Wakeman, but here we are. I can’t envision songs like Riders on the Storm or Hyacinth House being as cool as they are without him. Speaking of that first song, it’s their best. Don’t care how popular it is or how overrated people want to say it is. It’s the best thing they ever made, and an excellent way to close out the final record. It finishes things just as well as The End did for The Beatles. It’s crushing that we will never get to know what kind of magic these fellows would have cooked up later into the 70s. But L.A. Woman is still excellent, and just as good as their debut. Rating: 8/10
Groovy
7.5/10
By the early 70s, the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle had taken its toll on Jim Morrison, leaving him looking and sound considerably older than his 28 years. His voice had deepened to a husky burr, which suited the blues stompers that the rest of the band gravitated to. This is probably the best of the Doors albums, with the highlights being Riders on the Storm and the spoken poetry of WASP. Jim passed away in Paris just over two months after the album was released.
It might be my favourite from the Doors: it has not the gimmicks of psychedelic rock of their beginnings (with too much organ), it's not bloated as their more orchestrated work (the Soft Parade), some songs are probably the most bluesy/stripped down tunes of their repertoire. And it ends with Riders on the Storm.
SOLID classic rock album, definitely have been enjoying the albums of theirs on this list so far.
The Doors are one of the best rock bands for a reason.
I generally prefer the sound on their first album to the blues on this one, but it’s still good, with some great songs, especially the two long ones, those being the title track and ‘Riders On The Storm’. That being said, there is a lot of forgettable material on the album and it is somewhat derivative, but I like it nonetheless.
L,A, Woman is the sixth Doors album, and the last to be release while singer Jim Morrison was still alive. This collection of songs was done with simpler arrangements than their previous two albums - just guitar-driven blues songs with strong support from the keyboards and bass. The includes some of the bands biggest songs, including "LA Woman," "Riders on the Storm," and "Love Her Madly." These songs show Morrison's strength as a vocalist, and the potential of the band.
Lesser bands would have made these blues numbers almost painful but The Doors are talented enough to keep it interesting and Jim Morrison is a great frontman. Also this album has some monster sized classics so that is also a plus. Not my favorite Doors album but it's up there
Right off the bat, I dug the funk. L'America had me shaking my head and jamming along. Riders on the Storm felt endlessly groovy. This album was harder to swallow knowing that Jim Morrison died shortly after it was released.
Very fun! The music is amazing, very 70s but I get why it is the best of the best from those years.
Better-than-average Doors album.
This is a good album. It's fairly chill and consistent all the way through, never leaning too heavy. The best and most famous song is Riders On The Storm which appears last on the album. It's a hell of a close.
Goated
Psychedelic rock. <3 I should listen to this album more. I think these songs could really grow on me.
I prefer Morrison Hotel, but this gets a boost for having Riders on the Storm
- Geil! - Hab das Album lustigerweise vor Kurzem gehört (oder fast alles). Ich weiß aber irgendwie nicht mehr wo und wann genau - Die haben einfach einen so coolen Stil, der mir total zusagt. - Finde das Album etwas schwächer als das self titled und die besten Songs sind für mich auch die drei "hits" Madly, La Woman und Riders. - Der Rest ist auch sehr cool, mir dann aber stellenweise doch etwas zu bluesig 4/5
Ja toch wel lekker, nooit helemaal geluisterd hiervoor maar nice
Didn't realize how kinda jam-bandy they got. Whole album plays together pretty well, sounds a little dated but enjoyable as always.
Day 20 - June 21st, 2024 Not the best album from The Doors, but it was still enjoyable. 4/5
Love the style (whatever it is), good morning music for some reason
Went through the whole album without realising it, amazing listen!
"L.A. Woman" is the sixth studio album by Ameican rock band the Doors. It was also the last to feature lead singer Jim Morrison. The album was heavily influenced by the blues. The lyrics addressed contemporary topics in their life including love, life in LA and complex aspects of human life. The album received mostly positive reviews and, commercially, hit #9 in the US and #28 in the UK. "The Changeling" gets the album going in a bluesy and funky way. A rolling rockbeat along with the piano and organ. Guitarist Robby Krieger has a wah-wah guitar and then goes to a solo. The song was from Morrison's notebooks. Everyone and everything changes. A guitar riff with the bass/drums kickin' in and we're off with the first single "Love Her Madly." A driving piano and organ. Krieger wrote this song which is about romantic insecurity. "L.A. Woman" has one of thr most recognizable opens with the car speeding sound and drums, organ, guitar coming in slowly. Just a great groove. It has to be one of the best drving songs. Krieger's guitar riffs. Morrison climaxing with repeated "Mr. Mojo Risin'" It sounds like his goodbye to LA and his mixed feelings. A classic. "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" is a great deeper cut. A thumping bass and drums. A droning organ. Morrison sounding like he talking from a loud speaker. The lyrics are poetic with the clashing of the establishment and counterculture. "We is stoned, immaculate." Yes sir! Raining and thunder appropriately open the closer "Riders on the Storm." That haunting organ. There's also chilling lyrics if you listen close. It appears to be about a hitchhiker who kills. This album combines blues, funk and stoner rock. It has some of their very best songs. Morrison's voice is in command. Some of his best lyrics covering a variety of topics. The band is tight. Overall, I like their debut slightly better but this is a very, very good album.
Good album for the Doors but as a whole, the Doors are overrated
bangers on bangers mate
the last doors album to feature jim morrison, a return to tradition for the band in terms of sound. it's got a solid groove the whole way through. jim didn't exactly end it off with a bang, going for more of a relaxed, almost western blues style. while not every track hits for me, this album as a whole is pretty damn nice.
J'pensais pas aimer les Doors, finalement j'ai vraiment apprécié ça.
Dark, minimal, muscular, very bluesy. It was interesting to see the direction their sound grew in from their debut, which is similar yet very different. It’s a pretty good but not especially notable album until the final song, which is such a masterpiece it elevates the whole project. Best song: Riders on the Storm
Solid Doors blues album. Love Her Madly, LA Woman & Riders on the Storm are a few of the Doors best.
Glad to be reminded once again just how good The Doors are. Probably prefer the debut and Morrison Hotel to this one but it's very close. Fav tracks: Riders on the Storm, Hyacinth House, L'America
Nice album!
I dig. Definitely defined their own, unmistakable sound.
Solid album
Usually a Doors album reminds me of the soundtrack of the old Spiderman cartoon, but this one is different. Not as much organ, but still psychedelic at times. Vocals range from radio announcer to opera singer to whiskey and sand bluesy. A few great guitar riffs. Enjoyable. Solid 4
Love this album!
4.5/5
Some great tracks, but overall not an entirely great album. Do like the direction and more bluesy feels.
I dearly loved this album (along with the rest of theirs) back in high school. Nowadays it’s not as captivating, but I still like it
Fantastisch! Voor LA Woman en Riders on the Storm
Just fantastic blues rock from the '60s. The singles from this record are so instantly recognizable that I think I forgot how good they really are. Everything else was a very pleasant surprise.
Better than I expected, still a bit hootin and hollerin but they came out strong
Enjoyed this one, blues are not the most straightforward genre but there's some bangers. Riders on the storm is awesome. L'America was grating af
It's The Doors, so it's naturally very well done. One of my favorite songs of all time is Riders on the Storm.
Morrison channels his blues heroes and makes it work. His voice and delivery really has weight on this album. Great groove throughout. Lyrically there is a lot of sexually frustrated laments about how he wants to get laid. As is the tradition in the classic rock era.
Doors galore this week
Riders on the Storm what a jam
Solid album with some really great tracks. Very rhythmic. On the 4 side of a 4.5 for me.
Lots of great tracks but imo a couple of duds
A lot of classics. This seems to be a cleaner sound, and fewer 20 min. songs. Just a great album.
Never really got the doors until this album. I hadn’t really noticed Jim Morrisons voice before this. Sounds incredibly mature for his age. Remarkable. Great to see they ditched the mental fairground organ a bit. Much more enjoyable 4.1
Some bangers on here
Aún suena increíble, mi rollo.
nice!
Great band & solid album. Some songs are definitely the ramblings of a drunken hippy, while the others are my favorite Doors tunes.
Several of my favourite Doors songs are on this one. Overall a fun listen. It's been a minute since I've listened to this one.
Favourite tracks: changeling; la woman; riders on the storm; hyacinth house; been down so long
still not my favorite Doors album but...iconic
Truely a masterpiece, maybe L'America and Snake songs sound a little bit flat.
Much more blues than I expected. Definitely less sexy hahaha. 3.5 stars
Sick album, had me wanting to push my speakers to the maximum on a few songs😂😂
So bluesy, so cool, so Doors. The style does get a little old after a while, but it takes a long time. Very good. Four stars.
Really long blues-based tracks. Good music for me, that also set the stage for better music, punk. After digging this sound, I can see musicians saying, "shorter, faster, louder, more intensity." And I like both.
Good album, Riders on the Storm and L.A. Woman are classics. There were a few songs I wasn't too into, but I always love the Doors.
Excellent album that defined a generation. With classical rock instruments and utilizing a contemporary synth keyboard sound, the Doors pioneered rock for the 70s and beyond. Each song is different, from twangy bluegrass, to jam band, to a smooth rock and roll, it is a diverse and special album.
# 212 : Great album, I really like this, it has a few hits, I definitely would listen to this again. I put it in favourites. Favourite track : Riders On The Storm
7.5/10
Aaaiit
The Doors' "L.A. Woman" is a mesmerizing blend of blues, rock, and poetry, serving as a fitting swan song for the band's legendary career. Released in 1971, the album captures the essence of Los Angeles with its gritty yet glamorous depiction of the city. From the iconic title track to the haunting "Riders on the Storm," the album is a showcase of The Doors' musical prowess and Jim Morrison's enigmatic charisma. The band's blues influences are more pronounced here, with tracks like "Crawling King Snake" and "Cars Hiss By My Window" showcasing a raw, stripped-down sound. The album's production is crisp and organic, giving the songs a sense of immediacy and authenticity. "L.A. Woman" is a fitting tribute to The Doors' legacy, showcasing their ability to transcend genres and create music that is both timeless and evocative.
Il cantante è tipo invecchiato di botto dallo scorso album Boh avrà fatto la pubertà
L’energia e le vibes ci sono.
The Doors’ take the bluesy sound they were working with on “Morrison Hotel” and made it that much more raw and mysterious.
Probablyy favourite of the Doors' albums, although in general I am not a huge fan. I appreciate the phenomenon of them though. The title track and Riders on the Storm are top their tracks, and there are a few other good ones here (Love Her Madly and L'America), but a lot of the others are pretty forgettable. Great driving album though, extra star for that!
Gets points for Riders on the Storm. It’s classic 60s rock but I think their best songs are the big hits.
I’d say there are definitely better doors albums but riders on the storm and La woman are just so good that I’m giving the album a 4
A good album to listen to whilst sewing buttons onto a velvet waistcoat.
Listening to this is a seedy smoke-filled bar in 1973 would have gone absolutely nutso
4/5 Highlights are Love Her Madly, LA Woman, Riders On The Storm and the lovely Hyacinth House.
Jim Morrison as the Blues Man he never got to be! Love this album! “WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)” underrated.
Great tracks in a classic album.
Knallsterk start, mange bangers og klassikere. Et par sanger som ikke når samme høyder, men fortsatt bra. Veldig bluesy.
Последний (6ой) для вокалиста и лидера группы альбом, 1971 год. Умер на 27 году жизни в том же 1971. Звучит однообразно - как сейчас старички говорят про рэп, но живенько, чисто на фон.
Blues rock at its best pretty much. Also the last Doors album while Jim Morrison was still with us. A lot of big & familiar hits here, including "Love Her Madly", "Riders on the Storm", and even the titular ode to the city of LA, "L.A. Woman". To be honest, this almost feels like an end to this particular blues rock era, as the subgenre appeared to transition to more of a harder and edgier rock sound as the 70s went on. What a way for the Doors to go out!
4 really good album with killer keyboards. Sometimes leaned a bit too heavy into the psychedelic side
Fantastic! probably everything that made the Doors great all in one album.
Nice
nice, chill vibes
I forgot how much I love The Doors.
A classic 4*
Great, really solid, some forgettable songs but the hits are hit way out of the park
At times run-of-the-mill blues rock, at times psychedelic and kinda progressive. All in all good listening experience.
The first song is a banger.The second song is a banger(reminds me of The Beatles).The third song is a car commercial song like song(solo ROCKS).the fourth song sounds....boring?The fifth song is kinda repetitive but it sounds like a masterpiece to me.The Sixth song sounds soooo stupid and annoying but the guitar in the beginning is GOOD.The seventh track sounds chill and haunting at the same time.The eighth songs sounds kinda chilling the bass line is DEFINITELY CHILLING.The vocals on the ninth song and AWESOME and this song is bad ass.And last but not least the tenth song is a masterpiece. Fav. tracks: riders on the storm,The WASP ,crawling king snake,Hyacinth house,LA woman,Been down so long,Love her madly, and the changeling.
Amazing music. I wonder what they would have been like in the late 70s with more modern production? Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek do a fantastic job, but also Jerry Scheff is a wizard on the bass.
4/5
When I was in middle school this kid Nick, who I was friends with since kindergarten, decided he didn't want to be my friend anymore - for middle school reasons. One day he was talking to another kid about The Doors and he says to me "I bet you don't even know The Doors." I pretended that I did and he asked what my favorite song was. I said I needed to think about it. So he continues talking about The Doors with whoever and I'm literally sitting right next to him. So I made mental notes of any song titles he mentioned. About 5 minutes later he circles back to questioning me, so I rattle of the songs I just heard him say. This seemed to satisfy him because he's an idiot, so he backed off. That weekend I made it my mission to get some Doors music because it seemed important to know what I was thinking about if I was questioned again - for middle school reasons. Anyhow, I got The Doors greatest hits on cassette. Studied it. Listened to it non stop until I liked it. Never talked to Nick again about The Doors, or probably about anything else either. Still like the Doors though.
Kun Los Angeles on mainittu, en heti odota bluesia, mutta sitäpä tämä pääosin tahtoo olla. Aika kiva! Mahtipontinen ja aika cocky (johtunee Morrisonin äänestä paljolti), mutta se kuuluu selvästi asiaan, siitä pidän. Paitsi loppupuolella ollaan rajalla, meneekö asenne kohta yli, kun Crawling king snake on jo vähän rietas, mutta ei se aivan mene. Edellisiin kolmosiin verrattuna korkeampi, mutta oikeesti 3 1/2 ehkä.
4 overall with some songs that are 5s
This is probably the best The Doors have ever sounded. Bonus points because Jim Morrisons whispering all over riders on the storm creeps me out. 9/10 Psychedelics aren't a good cure for the blues guys
This is my favorite album by The Doors. A lot of different vibes on here but all good.
Everything comes together so well in this record. The twangy strings that feel like a spider's legs crawling across your arm, the haunting Halloween keys, and Jim Morrison's big old voice, every layer is very exciting to listen to. And then it becomes even more interesting when it all blends together! Standouts are Love Her Madly, Cars Hiss by My Window, L'America, and Crawling King Snake.
real
A classic.
When The Doors are good, they are really fucking good. But there is a lot of them just jamming, which I think turn a lot of people off. Jim is a drunk idiot. Jim also has IT. The title track and Riders on the Storm are so elite, they carry album to a 4 star. Riders is particularly incredible 8.2/10
This is a very blues forward album. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but a few of their songs start to wear you out a bit due to their length.
RnB-flavored classic rock. Kind of fun, and I liked the vocals, but not something I’m likely to listen to in full again. Best tracks: Riders in the Storm, L'America 3.5 rounded up
4-
Great album.
Good
Great album! It goes from light synths to swampy blues.
Last album recorded by The Lizard King, probably my favourite Doors album. Mellow Blues.
an excellent classic album
Este album esta lleno de temazos
Classic. Excellent
Very clear, well mixed, and warm recording. L’America is a slog, otherwise a lot of good tracks.
This was always a classic growing up. I actually got this album signed by Ray Manzarek before he died. Watching him play “Riders” live was life defining. There are so many great songs that returned to their true rock form. It’s not my favorite album of theirs but that’s not to say it’s not an all-time classic! Great first pick.
I knew the hits well but the deep cuts were newish to me. I’m not sure if my knowledge of the hits made it seem uneven or if it truly is uneven. L’America stood out to me just for Jim’s distaste of America and his move to France around this time. You could hear some anger in that track. Personally, Riders on the Storm is my favorite track here. I could take a whole album that lets you drift into the mystic United States southwest with Ray’s keyboards twinkling over the top.
Credit where credit is due. This album has some absolute bangers. The band contrasts with the vocals in a lot of ways and it works better on some tracks than others imo. L.A. Woman has just phenomenal guitar, really stands out. Riders on the Storm has great vibes. I’m not much for this genre though. I’d listen again but probably not seek it out. Probably a 3.5* for me but we will go with 4*
Groovy! Recognised only riders on the storm.
The last Doors album I heard was 'Morrison Hotel', which I wasn't that excited by. 'L.A. Woman' really stands head and shoulders above that one in my opinion. There is great energy, strong songwriting, and some daring experimentation, documenting the (perhaps too extreme) final days of Jim Morrison's life. Definitely attention grabbing and memorable.
Classic
Chill sounding music, best song riders of the storm
Car album or dancing in the sitting room kind of album. Honestly sounds like they had a lot of fun recording this - almost sounds like a live version of an album. I really had a more hard rock version of the doors in my head but they're much bluesier than I thought, love it. "The Changeling" is funky town?!
Great listen. Riders on the Storm just sublime.
good
Great record
Songs I like Love Her Madly L.A. Woman The WASP Riders on the Storm
Very good album. I've never actually heard the whole thing before. I would listen again. Kind of bluesy, pretty chilled out.
Some of my favorite Doors tracks, but also some very forgettable filler songs. Iconic sound with that organ and guitar playing off eachother.
Felt like I should be drinking while listening to this album. So much southern blues influence!
The power of Morrison's voice to sound like a commanding and loving DAD is what makes these songs resonate in my bones. I've been listening to these songs since I was 7 years old. Never tire of them.
The blues are strong with this one! A couple songs fall flat for me, and, oddly, the more popular ones were not my favorites, but overall I was moving and grooving to this one. A lot of fun, and some really cool additions (synth/keys) to some of the songs really bump up the overall appeal. A solid group of musicians. Fav tracks: Love Her Madly, The Changeling, Been down so long, Crawling King Snake
Cool blues rock album. Love the keys too
More my type of thing. Some of it is pretty generic 60s sounding but then there’s the bluesy sounding tunes that are top tier. And of course riders on the storm is an undeniable classic
Passabler Psychedelic Rock mit dem Highlight und wohl bekanntesten Song des Albums am Ende: "Riders in the Storm".
Ana: “classic funny silly exciting and funny.” “Crazy.” “A little scary at times with the Thunderstorm but exciting.” Great stuff but feels a little derivative of even better stuff out there in blues and rock but I appreciate the dipping of the toe in funk. I am a sucker for gritty blues roots rock ala “Been down so long” so I probably gave it an extra star for that.
like it
This was a pretty good listen.
Love “L.A Woman” and “Riders on the Storm” classics.
Expansive sound through headphones. Dark and moody at times. Pace picks up with the title track, driven along by bass and piano. Slow middle section before the guitar comes back in. I like this. Ominous riff and organ (?) on L'America. Riders on the Storm brings back the moody atmosphere with guitar and keys over rainfall sounds. Very good.
I LOVE the Doors. Saying that, this is not my favourite album of theirs. You can hear Jim Morison decline which makes the album much more raw and in some ways fun. Some of their best tracks are on this album, some of their worst too!! Loved them when I was 15 and still love them just as much today. I remember listening to this album on my Walkman when visiting Jim’s grave in Paris whilst on my Doors pilgrimage. 😂 Has to be a 5. Revisited and knocking it back to a 4 - seems only fair!
Classic
Jim Morrison's last album.
Mr. Mojo Risin. So good.
Had no real idea that The Doors were quite Blues genre. Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm were the three songs that I would have recognised prior to listening. So well worth a few more listens after this review!
Love the blues feel and early funk. Still has The Doors experimental rock/psychedelic rock aspect to it. I like the Doors, but not really the weird experimental stuff.
Haven't heard much Doors, just a few tunes here and there, but stoked to get the opportunity to hear more. This album is sweet. More stompy blues stank than I expected. Classic album that lives up to its name (this album is on the same list as the Foo Fighters, somehow)
I very much enjoyed the blusey tracks. There were a few skippers but overall quite good.
So, I'd only ever heard Riders on the Storm, which is still one of my favorites off of L.A. Woman, but this whole album was pretty solid. I expected nothing less from The Doors.
I was 10 when this came out. They didn’t play the Doors on the radio in my town, and my parents listened to a softer sound. It wasn’t until 1979 before I finally escaped to new music. Read No One Here Gets Out Alive in 1980, and that was that!
the b-sides are b-sides for a reason the changeling love her madly been down so long l.a. woman riders on the storm
Night and Day from their psychedelic debut. Pure rock and blues. An old guy who frequents Emmet’s Tavern and Alderman’s always karaokes “Been Down so Long” very poorly. Title track, Riders, Love Her Madly, Hyacinth House all rock.
who doesnt love the Doors
Love it
Good album! I definitely see how The Doors have influenced even modern music with the likes of Tame Impala.
This was good but not their best work.
This album was a flashback to earlier days. Bluesy rock was enjoyable. Had fun listening to this album.
I liked this album for the known songs - LA Woman, Lover Her Madly, Riders on the Storm. Also I liked Hyacinth House, good discovery. The rest was a little too trippy for me.
I feel like this is a great album while high. Good vibes and energy building to get stuff done.
Was good like an album to get you through a long straight road driving hours and hours has slow steady driving beat and some songs some nice synth and other
I had to listen several times because I kept tuning it out, but I found myself listening when a song I knew came on. I could definitely get down with listening to this by a fire or chilling with a drink on a summer night outside. It's chill.
gud
