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.
