1001 Albums Summary

Loved this album. These guys were ready to play arena rock in 74. So much fun.

Eliminator was a trip. There was a significant drop in quality with the songs that got airplay and the songs that didn’t. Non radio songs were straight out of a Texas bar. The radio songs were superstar material.

I was interesting to hear the album as my Doors knowledge comes exclusively from their “Best of.” L.A. Woman must have been a powerful move from 60s pop into the 70s sound when it was released in 1971. The hits still resonate. The first song “The Changling” is an impressive deep track. Really showcasing the talent of The Doors. Love Her Madly and holds up as their carnival crazy anthem. There are some oddball songs like L’America and Hyacinth House. But the version of Riders on the Storm at the end blew me away. This mix broke the 4th wall with the studio outtake intro. This version of this song is certainly a lost gem in 2025.

I wanted to like this album. Thought it would be a lost gem. But no. Not my thing. Many songs fell flat.

This is an amazing and original album. The unique sound is infectious. Storytelling keeps the listener involved. The guests add color. Songs have a dope beat but are so unique and colorful. Great album.

Not exactly my kind of music but every song is perfect. These guys rock and got a good beat as they give the middle finger to the establishment.

Not my kind of music so this may not be the best review but I could not enjoy this. The movie dialogue was the best part.
