Free Music Review: Doors masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
The Doors Waiting for the Sun is a really magnificent album that, for some reason or another, faces constant criticism. There's really nothing bad or even average about it to warrant negative ratings all the time! I'm not a huge fan of the Doors, but I know quality songwriting when I hear it, and this album has LOADS of creativity.
Many people hate "Hello, I Love You" for some reason. I think it's a great song that the 90's rock band Smash Mouth ripped off BIG time for their "Walkin' on the Sun" smash hit. Hmmm... that song title sounds awfully close to "Waiting for the Sun" doesn't it???
"Love Street" is a perfect ballad with brilliant piano soloing that gives the song a jazzy edge. "Summer's Almost Gone" is a psychedelic blues song that leads perfectly into the greatest song on the album "Wintertime Love". The next track, "The Unknown Soldier" brings back the distinct spookiness that made the Doors debut album so unforgettable. You don't hear musicians today write songs like that. It's completely unlike anything else out there.
"Spanish Caravan" is simply beautiful, "My Wild Love" is hauntingly creepy, "We Could Be So Good Together" is probably the Doors idea of a pop song, "Yes, the River Knows" again has some spooky piano bits that make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and "Five to One" is a great jam with fantastic electric guitar playing. Oh yeah, forgot to mention "Not to Touch the Earth". Let's just say, that song is absolutely fantastic and probably the second best song on the album.
Every song I mentioned is really good, and guess what? I mentioned every song on the album!. I love the entire thing. You really need to pick up this wonderful piece of distinct rock music. The Doors sounded like absolutely no one else back in the day, and this is another highlight of their career.
Waiting for the Sun Poster
With the massive success of the single "Light My Fire" and their initial two albums, L.A.'s the Doors quickly built a sizable reputation for edgy, often over-the-top musical drama. Perhaps wary of stereotyping, or simply worn out from their grueling early success, the band took a decided left turn into softer sounds here, from the pop-drenched "Hello, I Love You" to the flamenco guitar wash of "Spanish Caravan." Even gentle ballads (by the band's standards, anyway) were a part of the Doors' new sensibility, as witnessed by "Love Street" and "Summer's Almost Gone." But lest one think the band had gone a little too soft, the antiwar diatribe "The Unknown Soldier," the edgy "Five to One," and the deliciously strange "Not to Touch the Earth" were there to remind listeners that even if the band had mellowed a bit, they were still a long way from Jay and the Americans. --Jerry McCulleyDigitally remastered pressing of The Doors third album from 1968, a mellower affair than their previous albums but certainly just as melodic and exciting. The Doors' mixture of Rock, Blues and Jazz combined with vocalist Jim Morrison's poetic lyrics and powerful vocals created a musical Molotov cocktail that could make your senses explode...in a good way! 10 tracks including 'Hello I Love You', 'Spanish Caravan' and 'The Unknown Soldier'.
