The Doors
The Doors

Strong start with a pretty heavy riff and organs in Break on Through. I liked the piano driven Crystal Ship a lot - spacey and psychedelic. Very strong vocal performance too. Twentieth Century Fox is another hit, punchy low end and the everpresent organs supporting before we get an excellent guitar solo. Then it's art rock on Alabama Song, sounding like nothing that came before (prominently featuring a marxophone - yes, I had to look it up). Brilliant. Light My Fire closes side one in epic fashion. On the back half, I Looked at You is an infectious romp, probably the most straightforward 60s rocker here. End of the Night is the opposite, dark and moody. The energy is cranked up again for Take It as It Comes before - appropriately - The End. The best of the Doors albums I've heard so far and I can't stop thinking about it.
