L.A. Woman

Oddly enough, je za 5, al imho doorsi imaju boljih albuma (ovaj nije ni top 3) kojima ću to i dat kad dodu na red.

Classic. 4/5 I don't think that L'America ever stood out to me as one of the best songs on this album until now. There are the typical standards on this album that everyone who knows classic rock will know: Riders on the Storm, LA Woman and Love her Madly. Then there are the others like The WASP, that true Doors fans know and love. There really isn't a bad song on the album. Standouts: Riders on the Storm, L'America. Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman,

The older i get the more i dig the more straight forward blues rock Doors. Bearded Morrison is best Morisson.

Niet het beste album van The Doors naar mijn mening. Maar de nostalgische waarde van Riders on The Storm is een extra ster waard

Iconic music. This is an excellent album.

Prefs: The Changeling, Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, L'America, Hyacinth House, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat), Riders on the Storm Moins pref: Cars Hiss By My Window

L.A. woman por si sola es un diez. Raiders on the storm también. Y las demás no le alcanzan para bajar mucho el ranking. Debería ser cinco pero por alguna razón no creo que vuelva a escuchar este disco en el futuro

3.5 (Rounding Up) - I probably won't listen to the album again, but definitely will revisit a few tracks. Standout Tracks: Been Down So Long, Cars Hiss by My Window, L.A. Woman, & Riders on the Storm

I always thought the Doors were being unnecessarily pretentious. This is pretty good tho!

Tämä oli vähän rouheampaa kamaa, kuin minkälaiseksi olen Doorsin mieltänyt. Toki levyn vika biisi oli sitä rauhallisempaa ja jumittelevampaa osastoa, mutta noin niin kuin muilta osin! Tykkäsin kyllä.

Très bon

Классика рок-ен-ролла. Оптимальное сочетание вокала и муз. инструментов)

Goes a bit pub singer at times

Obviously a classic and their swan song. Lots of memories with this.

Cool mal sowas zu hören, hab ich nämlich noch nie. Blues ist wirklich nicht meins, aber das übersetzt sich schon echt gut in so längere songs, vor allem riders in the storm. Ziemlich interessant alles 7/10

mag the doors von diesen ami 60er rockbands echt am meisten. ihr debüt album ist aber noch besser!

Ah yes, finally ein sehr gutes Album. Doors noch ein letztes Mal in Höchstform auch wenn Jim Morrison bei den Aufnahmen afaik schon gar nicht mehr persönlich dabei war sondern in Paris. Die Kombi aus classically trained Flamenco Gitarrist, Jazzdrummer mit Riesenvorbild Elvin Jones, dem Orgelgott höchstpersönlich und fucking Jim Morrison einfach unschlagbar. Über Riders On The Storm braucht man gar nicht zu reden, locker einer der 10 besten Songs aller Zeiten 👍 Filmtipp: When You're Strange ist ne sehr gute Doku über die Band

Meine ersten Begegnungen mit dem Album: - wie Zugezogen Maskulin sagt "Deephouse Remix von/ Riders on the Storm" - Chase & Status - Hypest Hype ft Tempa T - zig andere samples vermutlich Es sind schon ikonische Hits drauf das Cover ist auch mächtig. Ich mag wie gut das altert und wie eigentlich nichts davon heutzutage unangenehm wirkt (vgl. insbesondere mit Queen vorher). So richtig vom Hocker woah boah yeah mäßig haut mich das jetzt auch nicht mehr, hat wahrscheinlich auch mit dem 50x Doors Best Of im Laden hören zu tun. Ist wie es ist. Feeling a low 4 on this one (im 5er system)

wirklich solides album, kein wirklich schlechter song darauf, einige sehr gute, aber andererseits kann es auch irgendwie an einem vorbeiplätschern. manche instrumentals kommen mir seltsam clichéhaft vor, aber das kann auch die psychose der retropespektive sein (Car Hiss by My Window, Crawling King Snake, Been Down So Long). fav songs The Changeling, L. A. Woman, Hyacinth House, Riders on the Storm

Just added L.A Woman to my Dance party playlist

Classic.

Not as good as their first album, but still pretty solid, would give it a 3.5

Weet ik veel

Þessi plata er eins og gamall vinur sem kíkir við eftir áratuga fjarveru. Hlýtt í hjartað og gleði.

Bluesy and enjoyable apart from L'America. Preferred side 1. Changeling and LA Woman are excellent. Already knew and liked Riders and Love her Madly.

Good stuff! :D

Merkilega skemmtileg plata miðað við það sem ég átti von á. Hlustaði á Doors í gamla daga en átti von á því að ég væri vaxinn upp úr þessu en svo var ekki. Riders on the storm alger hápunktur en margt annað töff. Jim Morrison minnir mig ansi mikið á Ron Burgundy, en bandið er alvöru.

Rock setentero, un tanto melancólico. Buena voz y acordes. Algún tema muy reconocido

Very strong A Side, B-Side gets a little slower but Riders on the Storm is a great closer. The Doors were huge for a reason, great album.

L.A.Woman von Doors

Rock, blues. Muy bueno.

Excellent. Sad to have run out of their albums to listen to on the list so early on.

Took me a while to get on Jim’s wavelength on this one but the music itself is so strong that I didn’t mind so much

Ik ben niet zo'n fan van de stem van de zanger, maar de muziek klinkt wel heel leuk. Beetje simpel misschien wel, maar ik vind die eenvoudige melodietjes eigenlijk wel prettig. Favorieten zijn "Love Her Madly" en "Riders on the Storm" ****

I think a generous 4 for this one. It's a pretty funky album but I prefer their debut.

Some see this as a return to form, has some great songs and of course Morrisons Swan Song with the band, "Riders On The Storm". I don't think this is their best but a couple of classic tracks in "The Changeling" and "Love Her Madly"

It has a nice fury to it, but it doesn’t have that full sound I really like. Gives me a nice vibe though with its pumpy(?), hard feeling songs. I really enjoy the instruments they use as well.

Gruff and bearish is my favourite incarnation of Mr Mojo Risin', and overall this is the best Doors album by a long chalk. There are moments of magic sprinkled throughout, but even the more workaday moments sound of a piece. Has an electric piano sounded sexier?

ah, they were a great oul band weren't they?

Pretty Damn fine album, but eclipsed by their first. 'The End' is one of my all time favourite tracks. Visited my old school friends at Keele Uni in I think 1979 and they had that track playing on repeat all night. Imprinted...

OK, a Doors album that's not the self titled one... Well, I wasn't in the mood at all when I first put it on, but within a couple of tracks it had won me over. Definitely a solid album worth some more listens! Fave track - "Riders on the Storm" is a classic, and I think the only track I was properly familiar with in advance. "L.A. Woman" is a great tune too...

Haven't listened to this for a long time. Really enjoyed it. Need to listen to The Doors more.

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: L.A. Woman, Riders on the storm

Pretty enjoyable listen. Sounded like a really good blues band jamming for the most part. One thing I never understood with the doors was the keyboard that seemed sort of out of place. Definitely was the case here.

Always good to listen to The Doors

Gold

Twas a banger

Not as solid as The Doors, but still a great album. Morrison's voice is just so good

Great album

Classic. You can hear the drug influences on Songwriting, but worth the listen.

This album is a lot blusier than I remember. Outside of the most well known songs on here is some really good stuff. The whole second half of this is pretty good to great Stand out deep cuts: The Changeling, Hyacinth House, Crawling King Snake, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)

Classic, well made album. Docking a star because I feel some of the tracks are dragged on for a little too long. Standout tracks: Riders on the Storm, Cars Hiss by My Window, Crawling King Snake. 👍🏽

Most enjoyable. Was aware of the well known songs but had not listened to the whole album before. It hangs together pretty well, so much so that I let it run through a second time.

kings of their time. but i personally prefer morrison hotel.

9/10 "Love Her Madly," "LA Woman," "Crawling Snake King," "Riders on the Storm"

Klassiker

Super Album aber nicht der hurricane des Debüts

I liked it, very nice music to work to. Might listen to The Doors more some other time :-)

The final album from one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands in the history of time. A nice last record, full of blusey songs and, of course, some incredible stand-out hits, such as L.A. Woman and Rides of the storm. Gives off a nice, blues-festival vibe.

Good album, LA Woman, Riders on a storm

Llevo dos canciones y ya estoy amando este álbum, la instrumental tan buena que me hace querer bailar, La voz va en par con los instrumentos haciendo que esta suena increíble, sabe bajar y subir su tono en el momento perfecto. Las canciones no se me hacen para nada repetitivas y hay momentos donde se me hacen hasta cortas. Canciones favoritas:

🚪🚪🚪🚪🚪🚪

Meandering bluesy tunes. *Riders on the storm

Great rock album. Side two has no duff tracks on it and the title track kills!

Très bon album des Doors, s’écoute très facilement !

I very much enjoyed it. Doors are on at 7pm.

Great music but it doesn't feel cohesive or have a general vibe. Unfortunately that leads me to not listen often. Love Hyacinth House, Been down so long and LA Women

I thought this was going to be a mariachi band, but then I realized it was "L.A" Woman, not "La" Woman. L.A. Woman is my favorite Doors song. Hyacinth House is a hidden gem.

Love Her Madly and Riders on the Storm on the album. Great all all around. Lots of blues. 8/10.

Nice one

I have always felt like I knew nothing about The Doors. They were always that band I should probably listen to at some point. Morrison Hotel reinforced that a few weeks ago when it came up. Highly enjoyable, but all new to me! This album was a surprise because I think I've heard every one of these songs before. This is like a greatest hits album, but it's a regular album. These guys do blues-rock really well, and that's undeniable.

4

perhaps unsurprisingly more bluesy than i'd have expected

Great album. Lots of synthesizers.

Second best Doors album behind their debut. 9/10 1. Riders on the Storm 2. Hyacinth House 3. LA Woman

very raw album. Bluesy and has some of my favorite doors songs.

Love the blue tracks on this album. Lots of fun. Riders on the storm classic track on this one.

Yes, they are good

That organ sound! Thin, fruity, and flows so well over the grooves. Very enoyable, and lyrically interesting. The bluesier numbers feel cool as fuck. L'America is a JAM. The rhodes piano on Riders on the Storm is a great example of Manzarek's lightness of touch and melodic ear.

Great album from a classic band. Good vibing & working tunes!

Didn't age as well as I expected, but it's a classic

Deep and bluesy. For a band with no bass player, they sure hired some great sidemen. Strong album.

Love the Doors

Wow. A blues infused rock album that, I think, was ahead of its time. Some really great sounds that could have been from today just as much at 50 years ago.

Good times

Some classics!

The Doors are right up my alley. I am starting to find it a bit strange that some of my favourites in this project are as old as I am. I feel very at home with these guys, it's no effort. Sometimes I say a thing is 'not for me', this is the entire opposite, this is for me, made for people like me to enjoy. I so would have been a Doors obsessed fangirl.

Great album!

I like the doors. This is the album that features riders on the storm, LA women, and love her madly. That being said I do prefer the doors album to this one.

Very bluesy.

It's amazing the range of moods this album can drag you through, especially from been down so long, to cars hiss by my window, and finally to L.A. Woman. Been down so long, L.A. Woman, the WASP, and Riders on the storm are def my favorites, in no particular order.

Very good classic album, maybe their best. Very bluesy.

Simply good. I like the groove. Very soothing but still exciting.

liked

The groove are strong with this one.

4 stars

It's impossible to listen to this album and not feel like the coolest person around. Best track: Riders on the Storm

I totally get the disdain for the Doors, but for me I have been a long time fan. L.A. Woman in particular hits a lot of right notes for me as this dark blues output, in line with the band's refocused approach to their style, which went from dark psychedelia to a scruffy blues band. Plus Morrison vocally is way more interesting as an alcoholic crooner than he was as the Lizard King. I also just remember hearing many of these tracks growing up on a local radio station so it has stuck with me. It's very dark, very gritty, but also showcases how great the band musically was outside of Morrison, but you can't have them work without him. Favorite tracks: Riders on the Storm, The Changeling, L.A. Woman, WASP Texas Radio

I have a soft spot for The Doors, and especially for Riders. The reason for that particular affection is embarrassing: A rather cheesy recording of a "Doors concerto" by Nigel Kennedy. So my impression is slightly fuzzier and warmer than it should be, objectively. All that said: The bluesier sound suits the band about as well as can be expected. Morrison sounds like himself but not in an insufferable way. The first half plays it a bit safe, perhaps.

1971. Key Songs: Riders On The Storm, The Changeling, Love Her Madly

Solid Doors album, but not my favorite of theirs

This is fun! Kind of funky, guitars are good Vocals are fine, not great but not offputting Few of the songs are a bit long but overall this is really good! Cohesive but songs are all pretty different and distinct Faves - The Changeling, Love Her Madly, Crawling King Snakes Overall - I enjoyed this! Good solid rock music, fun to listen to Rating - 4/5

L.A. Woman was meant to represent a new path forward for The Doors, that the ragged whirlwind of their stardom would be settled and they'll get into a different groove that suggested there being more than what met the eye. Alas, with Jim Morrison perishing in a Paris bathtub not longer after this, this is the only document of what would be a pipe dream but it is a tantalizing one nonetheless. Favorites: The Changeling, Love Her Madly, L.A. Woman, L'America, Hyacinth House, Riders in the Storm.

Awesome album

This is probably the best Doors album. Bluesy, bearded and definitely LA!

Classic 70’s rock album, like the bass and rhythm, beryyy gruuvvyy

All the songs are kind of long I love the bass lines It feels like it’s gone on for forever

This is the sound I used to associate with the Doors, back when I was less of a fan because I found them pretentious. This is at the end of Jim Morrison's stretch, so with all the experience I now understand why they feel that way. It's an acceptable listen, I've just never been far into this particular strain of blues-rock. There's some beautiful instrumental bits saving this from being a 2. 2.7/5

I was hoping more songs would be great from this album but honestly only riders on the storm was exceptional (3.4/5) From another review "the hits soar the rest is a bore"

Funky, very classic rock, "so old school," lowkey uninteresting, "boring, all sounded the same," songs like this are better as one offs imo

j'aime bien mais ça ne me transcende pas

Non mi coinvolge appieno

Just a bit meh. Not really my thing. Loved the first song tho.

i want to be a hater but this album is undeniably pretty good. it's yet another mid-century white guy rock band appropriating the blues, but a pretty good one of those. jim morrison calling himself "mr. mojo risin'" because it's an anagram of his own name is genuinely insufferable. but the song he does it in is still pretty good. highlights: love her madly, been down so long, cars hiss by my window, l.a. woman, hyacinth house, riders on the storm could easily bump this up to a 4 or down to a 2 depending on my mood. #previously listened (partial)

Had never listened to a Doors album before. Quite enjoyed it and it made good driving music. Not quite a 4, but definitely gave me a better understanding and appreciation for this band.

A bunch of very competent 12 bar blues jams, a few classics, and a little variety towards the end.

Ok

This is going to amaze you, but it sure sounds like a Doors album to me. For me, if it didn't have Riders on the Storm it would be utterly forgettable.

The Doors are still an excellent band with an overrated singer - not a BAD singer, mind you, he's quite good, but he's not the lost beat poet of a generation. The hits from this album ("Love Her Madly", "Riders on the Storm", and the title track) are interesting, and there are a few other tracks that go unusual places (the cool rhythms of "L'Amerique" and the bizarre ramblings of "The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat"), but the rest is pretty much just blues. It's fine.

Nice organ.

Perfect one for a drive to L.A. this morning. Three massive hits that carry the album. Gets real bluesy and also weird with some not so immaculate stoned out tracks. May not be the Doors strongest album, but the band play and Mr. Mojo Risin' still bring it. They certainly go down in music history as one of the greats and stand out with their style. The 3 top tracks are good enough to get this one 3.25 stars.

Figured this one would make the list and while I look forward to any Doors offering, I do find L.A. Woman as an album a little overrated. It's an iconic album and belongs on the list for the title track and Riders On The Storm, though I've never had it at the top of their list. I get that critics praise the return to their roots with more blues influence, but I just don't think the lineup of 10 tracks is that strong outside of LA Woman and Riders. A couple of the other songs are OK, but a handful are pretty marginal blues entries that I have no problem skipping when they show up in the rotation. Luckily, LA Woman and Riders are all-timers because their heavy lifting showcases all the best parts of The Doors and are enough to justify the entry. As the band's swan song and Jim's farewell I do believe it is a necessary listen and a great love letter to a few things that defined The Doors career. 3.10 stars

Got a bit aggressive lyrically- it was okay.

It's ok. Did not move me but it's competent

Solid record, not my favourite band of the 60s but they have a few good tracks here

Riders in the stormmmm

was vibey i liked it more than i thought i would

Another reference to the great Alan Partridge here... So what's my favourite The Doors album? I'd have to say, The Best Of The Doors. L.A. Woman, the song, is arguably their best. It's sounds like they're hungry. It sounds like they mean it. It holds up. As does Riders On The Storm, which honestly sounds like it was produced in a competely different era by a competent producer. The other big hit on here, Love Her Madly, stands out on this album, but honestly doesn't beyond here. Most of this album though kinda feels like they're going through the motions (including Love Her Madly TBH). It's too much lazy bar band blues where they sound like they're struggling to keep their eyes open.

Very forgettable album. Three stars.

Classic album. I think they’re overrated

Good sounding album and I like the importance it had on music. Not really my taste but I don't dislike it. Had no idea that they didn't use a bass player! Not really a fan of songs about getting a blowjob, though.

This album ends stronger than it started for me. However, I was very busy during the first half and this album feels like you should not be very busy while listening to it.

Liked this

I liked 'love her madly' and weirdly 'cars hiss by my window'. First time listening to music and lyrics at the same time. I might like this genre.

The first couple songs weren’t my fav but then this album grew on me a bit. I’m not the biggest fan of the lead singers vocals in every song but the instrumentals are consistently good.

Far less psychadelic than the Doors I am accustomed to. Heavy blues influence. Enjoyable

I've always thought The Doors were a bit "meh". The hit singles from the album are great, Love Her Madly, LA Woman, Riders On The Storm, the rest were alright, but they didn't move me.

Classic Album, very easy listening music.

Avocado toast

I'm learning I do not like The Doors nearly as much as I thought I did. My appreciation comes largely from a few singles and a lot of those are just cuts from their first album. This one starts off with very little of what I like (inventive keys and Morrison's smooth croon), and instead goes for fairly standard rock and blues grooves and Morrison's off-putting snarl. Love Her Madly is the only song that works okay in the first 4 tracks. "Been down so long" is a predictable blues pastiche I found to be pretty terrible. Cars Hiss by My Window is only slightly better. The album picks up a lot of steam with L.A. Woman... with an engaging motorik beat and appealing guitar. I have no idea what inspired Jim Morrison's vocal choices on this song, but he's definitely dragging it down for me. L'America is easily one of the most interesting tracks on the album. The music is engaging and unsettling and the vocal matches it. I also like Hyacinth House, which has Morrison's best vocal so far. Crawling King Snake is another dull blues song. I just don't think this is The Doors' strong suit, despite the fact that it seems to be Morrison's preferred style at this point. The WASP is better, mixing Morrison's spoken-word poetry with some inventive backing music. Finally, Riders on the Storm is almost enough to make me forget how uneven the rest of the album is. It's got such a great groove and the thunderstorm sounds really add to the atmosphere. It's got both the best playing and singing on the album by far. Even though there are several tracks I disliked, this album is held up by quite a few good ones too, ending up as a decent 3/5. I'm finding out The Doors feels like two bands at the same time -- and I only really like one of them.

Enjoyed! I want to relisten on a drive i think. And during a less stressful day of work. This is my first real intro to the Doors and had a devastating thrill of a deep dive on Morrison. “Morrison's senior year English teacher later said, "Jim read as much and probably more than any student in class, but everything he read was so offbeat I had another teacher (who was going to the Library of Congress) check to see if the books Jim was reporting on actually existed. I suspected he was making them up, as they were English books on sixteenth-and seventeenth-century demonology. I'd never heard of them, but they existed, and I'm convinced from the paper he wrote that he read them, and the Library of Congress would've been the only source."”

Klasik. Imaju mi oni boljih albuma, ali kužim zašto je tu. Mellow listening. 3/5, 5/10

Too bluesy for my taste, but it's a great album objectively. Ends with Riders on the Storm, though, that's a treat.

3.5

3.7

Really good

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background

Except from riders on the storm, the doors are a bit too old to appreciate in modern times unfortunately.

I wasn't expecting a blues album. Great nonetheless!

This is fine. This feels like very standard classic rock. Nothing really stood out to me except: L'America. Not necessarily in a good or bad way. It was just super tonally different from everything else. I was listening to the album while working and had to take a second when it came on because it caught me off guard. I did enjoy Hyacinth House a lot, maybe because the synth/organ thing its got going. On a second listen I'm enjoying it less though, so maybe it was just the reprieve from L'America that lifted my mood. Overall 3/5. It's good enough, I guess.

nao eh meu tipo musical

Gentle, some good tracks but not really for me today

Vintage Rock ? Yes ma'am!!

I mean, it´s alright...

no lo escuche entero pero iba por buen camino

The two tentpole songs are great (title track and Riders On the Storm) even though LA Woman is goofy as hell and also kinda stupid? I’ve been “LA Woman is stupid-pilled” since the episode of Punch Up the Jam years ago. Other than that, this is okay! Doesn’t move the needle too much for me either! The Doors are still a pretty musically (MUSICALLY) talented band that also kinda sucks.

good ol blues music

6.5/10. Boring album, unless you pretend you were on drugs when you listened to it.

Another album where the best songs are so famous it’s difficult to measure them against the rest of the album. In this case, sadly I just don’t think the rest of the album is as good

I was expecting it to be a bit better really. It was what I'd call a moody album. There were a couple of decent tracks, but it just seemed to meander for a couple of tracks then perk up for a track, and so on.

Clasic. Good

Riders On The Storm is pretty good, and some of their other songs are enjoyable. But I was expecting something more from The Doors. Overall pretty okay. 3.5 would be best.

Very gritty, but also chill album. I had to look up, "is Jim Morrison even on this album cover?" Holy heck, he's the guy on the right and there's a whole story that goes along with it. I appreciate that he didn't want to stand out.

Raspy, drunk, clouds of cigarette smoke, cheap Jack Daniel’s, worrying if your card is gonna go through on the next round, shouting gossip in a crowded bar. This is Jim Morrison’s perfect form. LA Woman captures perfectly The Doors’s signature sound mixing blues, rock, early garage, punk. In the tree diagram of music genres, it sits high up influencing so many other greats. Besides LA Woman, Love her madly, and Riders on the storm, other songs like Been down so long and Hyacinth House are excellent and deserving of a moment amongst friends. That being said, listening to this album inebriated can induce you into semi psychosis, (can music actually get you drunker? It can definitely compound d feelings of dizziness and not knowing your bearings- I’m looking at you L’america, with your taunting organ) so tread with caution.

Fine

Not my favorite Doors album. Nothing here was super catchy

Riders on the Storm

lowkey

I dunno about this one. I liked the beat of wasp, but I never trust a white man saying anything about... what he was talking about! Left a bad taste in my mouth, and that was the one song that really intrigued me. Not a huge fan of all the organ integration either. Meh. 5/10

the hits are hits, the rest are okay

Lo siento, no me encantan. Riders es increíble.

This was not anything really for me

3.5 Some good songs but also just doesn't really stand out from other rock albums of this period for me

Okay. Just okay. I dont like them any more or less than years ago.

I haven’t really listened to The Doors in a long time. It took me back in time

3.4

fue un the Doors qué nunca había escuchado y eso que me gusta el álbum "the doors" pero este fue raro

for a solid 72 hours I’ve tried to figure out what to say about this album and I can’t for the life of me think of anything. I’m not sure why! It’s just super super competent but idk what else. Riders on the storm is a stone cold classic but I kind of skated over the rest even after two full listens

One of the better doors albums. Still nothing to write home about but it’s an enjoyable listen Fav song: Riders on the Storm

i feel like im drinking my worries away in a pub

Another just fine entry from the Doors. Starting to think they're greatest-hit-album merchants

A generous 3 a few good songs amongst some very weak tracks...obviously riders on the storm carries the whole album. If they had a few more killer songs like that it would be a very good album.

Dont think id ever CHOOSE to listen to The Doors. But this was pretty good. Think I preferred rhis to their other album which we reviewed on here. 3.5

Meh

I get why people love The Doors. I do. I absolutely love some of their stuff. But a whole album, in most cases, just bores me.

Way more enjoyable than I wouldn’t predicted. Super nostalgic to that teenage moment in time when most people are into this band.. but hearing them for the first time in many years they sound surprisingly fun and fresh.

Nice, maybe a bit too bluesy for me, however a true classic final song with a great length!

Very bluesy compared to other Doors records, but I like it

It was alright

Outside the one or two well know songs, the rest was quite average I would say.

Ok I guess.

nw tbh troche zie ni skupialam, momentmi fajne

Bumping this up majorly for L.A. Woman, because the rest of it really kind of blows

It's enjoyable and pleasant to listen to. With the odd bit of darkness, though more would have been nice. Good but not great.

Pretty decent album tbh. Best song is easily riders on the storm, nice vibe to it.

The first half of this album was a bop, the second half just got on my nerves a little

My parents were big fans of this album so this had a pleasant nostalgia to it :^)

Meh

Great album, but not the best for me from The Doors.

Buen album chill y partes instrumentales

It's good but I am probably never going to listen to it again

Feels like being transported back in time; can get a little repetitive but what a vibe

Pretty good.

Interesting album for sure. I don't know why I thought the doors were more rock. This gave a folsky blues vibe. 5.6/10

Solid singles. not a huge fan of all of the songs though

A couple of great songs but not as good as the other album as a hole.

It's interesting and has a bluesy vibe, but I was expecting more

I like the music quite a bit. Very groovy. But I don't really like the singer's voice.

Helt udmærket album. Riders on the storm er et af deres bedste numre, men udover den er der en del bland album cuts på den her

Lidt lavere koncentration af bangere end på andre Doors plader vi har haft, men fed!

Right away, I will say it's not exactly up my alley. That being said, a whiskey man can appreciate a nice glass of gin every now and then without losing his mind, if you catch my drift. The last album Jim Morrison sang on, is a relaxing, smooth, listen that can, at times, pick up the BPM and scream at you. There's something about the way Morrison belts out the words, a sort of guttural, primal, raspy scream, that draws the audience in. You can't deny the passion. The title track, "L.A. Woman," is in my opinion, a damn good song. You just can't help beating your head along to the bass line - and who is "Mr. Mojo Rising?" Another note, "Riders on the Storm," listened to properly takes you on a ride in a '63 Mustang on a coastal drive through a rainstorm (top down of course). Sonically adventurous sounds on that track, to say the least. Overall, a fun listen, and I'd venture to guess these gentlemen were under the influence of various substances during the recording process - a suggestion that could certainly adjust the listening experience for the audience, perhaps.

I prefer this album to the “Doors.” My ears gravitated to the bluesy “Been Down So Long.” “LA Woman” is overly long, but I still enjoy it. It could be Morrison’s voice and/or the keyboard sound (which is not a sound I like, but it’s very much their sound)that adds a sense of dread on top of lyrics. “Riders on the Storm” is a big “No” for me.

Probably more of a 2.5 but ends on a high point with riders of the storm

Not my favorite. Like Riders on the Storm, but it is a bit long. Lead singer gets a bit incoherent sometimes, but the band is tight. Sometimes a bit derivative.

A classic band and singer that certainty has left a mark on the music world. Its good, easy, smooth music which is easy to listen to or have on while not focusing on the music itself. Its not really music that I would choose but definitely not something I would switch away from.

I don't find myself all that interested in the blues rock stuff. Highlights for me are "L'America" and "Riders on the Storm," both a little more removed from the blues rock style.

Eh, middle of the road. nothing too memorable.

This had its moments. Definitely more of a blues album than a rock album, which makes it a little less sticky for me. But it was decently enjoyable. 6/10 Pretty Good

I like The Doors, not my favourite album from them tho. It would help to understand what moment of their career they were going through and the historical context also. But the sound itself wasn't very appealing for me at its face value. Hopping to get another album from them in the future to make it right.

Some all time Doors singles (Love Her Madly, Riders on the Storm, the title track) surrounded by filler and competent white boy blues.

something a bit different, so i enjoyed, but again not going to be a repeat listen

Jom Morrison makes this impossible to love

Jim Morrison's last album with the band has some serious highs and some pretty forgettable lows. Not sure if it's true or not, but I remember reading that the very last piece of music Morrison ever recorded were the haunting whisper-like backing vocals on Riders on the Storm. It's either fitting or cruel that in his final (recorded) moments, the loud, obscene, and boisterous Morrison was reduced to a whisper.

Some cool moments as is standard for most Jim Morrison Doors output. By this point though, I think the culture had mostly caught up with the Doors. There isn't a ton of L.A. Woman that you couldn't locate on other albums and their mythos helps to pave over some of their lamer tracks. You'll notice folks like to talk about Riders on the Storm, which is a really awesome moody track, but no one really gives much thought about Cars Hiss By My Window or Crawling King Snake. L.A. Woman has a couple of those types of tracks. The barn burners; L.A. Woman & Riders on the Storm are just that & the album is legendary on account of those tracks but let's not overlook Hyacinth House which is probably my favorite cut on the album. Favorite Tracks: L.A. Woman, Hyacinth House, Riders on the Storm, The WASP

I don't know if they were running out of steam by this point, but this was their 6th album in the space of 4 years. I really like The Doors and certainly feel that I prefer the earlier albums. This is my first time hearing this one and apart from the title track and Riders on the Storm, nothing else stands out too much, The Changeling was decent though. I appreciate what they were trying to do on some of the tracks but something didn't land for me. 3/5

This recording was good when it was current but listening to it now, it sounds so dated. Morrison's voice is as my son put it, "iconic."

The Album is good, some songs I quite like. To be honest, myself I don’t like this album to much. Not saying it’s a bad, just not really for me

Muy sin más. Also la N palabra en una canción?? goddamn

I enjoyed it. Probably won't revisit, but enjoyed the blusey portions.

Gritty, but gives road trip vibes

favs — 'love her madly', 'hyacinth house'

Rock de l'époque, je savais pas que Riders on the storms c'était d'eux

D'habitude j'aime bien The Doors mais j'ai trouvé cet album assez générique

More blues that i realised

The blues suits Morrison's voice quite well. There's only one weird pretentious Morrison beatnik poetry shtick in WASP & that one is pretty decent. Other than the hits, the rest are hit or miss. 3

Interesting album, not particularly my taste by with some insane guitar riffs and lumberjack esc vocals I feel like I could enjoy this type of music more. The intro was very nice with a fast upbeat tone.

A more matured sound that was more my speed than their debut

groovy

Good

Pas spécialement mon truc, c’était sympa mais rien de plus à dire.

Some high highs, but some average stuff across the whole album. Had a nice time with it though.

I don't know why I don't like The Doors more given how profoundly influential they were on music that I love, but I don't. While a blues rock band at heart, their attempts at straight-up blues - like this record and Morrison Hotel - sound inspid compared to real bluesmen, or even The Stones, or Zeppelin. The Doors were at their best stepping up and being weird, as seen here on the title track and the famous Riders on the Storm: the rest is merely fine.

reminded me of my pops a little bit. a little slow-paced, but definitely enjoyed!

Decent

Pretty good but not as good as their first one.

Some I liked others I didnt

I'm a bit indecisive on how to score this one. On one hand it's The Doors and features the hits L.A.Woman, Riders on the Storm, and Love Her Madly. On the other hand, there's some strange stuff on here (L'America?!) and I realized I don't really love Morrison's voice. Based on the hit value alone, I'm going with 3.

Surprised I didn't enjoy this more. Got some good songs, but has some fairly by numbers blues songs.might be an argument they're better as a greatest hits band

Best The Doors album so far

This was much more blues then I was excepting, I really thought of them as more a psychedelic band. The Blues was not a bad thing, I enjoyed then the psychedelic stuff. It is subtle and can be a little quiet so you have to really listen to pick up how much talent and skill goes into it. The big hits that I think of when it comes to the Doors (LA Women, Love Her Madly, Riders on the Storm) are all on this album, so it does have good bones. The other songs are good, but not standouts. Part of me really enjoys this and knows they are so iconic that I should be rating this as a 4. But there is another part of me that doesn't see how this is amazing, but just a decent album that keeps it mellow coming in at a 3. Instead of 6/7 its 3/4

I love The Doors, but by this point, Jim Morrison sounds like the sloppy mess he’d become. This is a great album to question whether he was as talented as the music biz made him out to be. His lyrics ramble. He repeats himself over and over. The blues rip-offs are becoming parodies, at least to my modern ears. Credit where it’s due: Love Her Madly is a perfect song. It’s probably the best song they ever made. L.A. Woman at least rambles with purpose, and Riders On The Storm is moody perfection, still fitting nicely on any Halloween playlist. I guess what I love about their earlier work is the dark organ in all of it. It sounds spooky, mysterious, and vital. I get the feeling here that the band was just working with a tempestuous front man who could barely get his shit together long enough to toss out even a moderately decent record. Or he was just so lost that he’d reached his point of no return. That’s the most likely case. Anyway, outside the hits, this record is sludge. 3/5

I love the Doors, but this is probably my least favorite of their albums

First half of the album is great, but then L'America and a couple of the weird artsy songs ruin the back half before Riders picks it back up.

The songs I love, I love. I never paid much attention to this one and was hoping for some bright spots aside from the one I know by heart from classic rock radio. Those extras weren't too extra.

Not my favourite doors. Bluesy over rocky. Jim didn't seem quite so expressive for the most part than I remember for their other records. Felt slightly less innovative

𝘓.𝘈. 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 is a solid blues-rock record, and the band sounds relaxed and confident throughout. The songs have a loose, barroom feel that suits the material well. Still, I struggle with the vocals of Jim Morrison, and that makes it difficult for me to fully enjoy the album despite its strengths. It’s also notable as the last album recorded with Morrison before his death later in 1971, which gives the record a certain historical weight. Even so, while the music itself is good, Morrison’s singing keeps me from connecting with it.

Was never really able to get into the Doors

una que otra es buena, no me mató

L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm are perfect songs - the rest of the tracks dont add (or take away!) much from the Doors canon.

I have very similar feelings to this as I did to their debut. I like it a lot, and The Doors as a band seems to have a vibe that I gravitate hard to. As the bands farewell statement, I’d say they went out strong, with a more bluesy approach it feels a lot more mature. Yeah liked this a lot, want to give it a relisten tho, as I think my rating will go up.

It’s not bursting with their best hits, but the songs are strong and make a cohesive unit. Almost four stars.

I guess I'm just not a doors fan

This is my second Doors album of the project, and I've only had 24 albums between them. Come on! Anyway, this is an OK blues-rock album. It's less mystic and psychedelic than their debut, but it doesn't have the same level of songs. Lyrics are as trite as ever, and much of the music is just basic blues-rock that doesn't sound like the Doors' debut much at all. Even worse, the hooks just aren't there the way they are on the debut. There are still good songs here ("Riders on the Storm" and the title track), but it's a weaker record overall than the self-titled.

I liked some of the songs; I didn’t love the lead singers voice; some of the experimental things were cool. Prob won’t listen again but glad I know this now

Pas mal du tout. J’ai écouté en courant, donc peut-être pas les meilleures conditions, malgré tout c’était une bonne expérience.

3.5

I'm still a fan of the hits, but the rest of the songs are a mood. L'America has more going on than I remembered. Didn't realize Crawling King Snake was a remake. I will continue to selectively listen to my favorites when I'm in the mood, but overall not my style.

Bit funky eh? I enjoyed about half of it, but the ones I didn’t were truly annoying. I gave The Ramones a 5/10 and now I wish I’d given that one a 4/10 because L.A. Woman shouldn’t be above a 5 lol

I enjoyed a lot of the guitar work on this album and totally understand why some people LOVE the doors. I guess it didnt male me feel massively excited musically/emotionally or scratch my brain like my faveeee music does. Still appreciate it tho

I've always hated the Doors, but have I ever really listened to the Doors? I don't know... well, now I have, they're fine, whatever, they're just ok. They border on really ok, but settle on just fine.

Understand the hype around The Doors now. Really good album, especially Riders on the Storm and Hyacinth Doors

the back half of this album is solid. but i just don’t love the doors.

The Changeling is eh, Love Her Madly is pretty good. So far I really don't think this is album is for me. It makes me think of dry heat, dead grass, dust, and a broken fridge. I like the weird guitar in Been Down So Long, but not the vocals. I really like Cars Hiss by My Window! I like how calm it is. I like the beat of L.A. Woman, and the guitar. Very long though. I listened to this twice and I barely remember the songs between L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm, which I feel a little bad for. Riders on the Storm is excellent. I have added it to my playlist.

Not existed

It was good. Standout tracks are Riders on the Storm, Love Her Madly, and L.A. Woman

Honestly a vibe, but it didn’t particularly excite me

rock organ ftw, but lost interest during the b side

Just doesn't have the magic of the albums which came before. Too much rocking and stomping - too much blues, going on and on and on.... When it works (LA Woman, Love Her Madly, Riders on the Storm) it manages to be magnificent, though.

Very blues - Influenced album. Enjoyed the lyrics and bass guitar. I can see how future rock albums have been influenced by this sound.

A lot more thrilling if you pretend it’s Electric Mayhem because he sounds exactly like Dr Teeth

The highs of this record are high indeed, but there’s a little too much blues noodling. Riders on the storm is still phenomenal

Ehhh, wasn't doing much for me.

Has some great blues inspired songs. I’ve also always loved the use of the keys in The Doors music. Love Her Madly has a great chorus change up that I really enjoyed. Definitely some classics on this record.

Mostly a substandard blues album but Riders on the Storm is a great track.

This band is perfectly surmised on this album's track "L'america." where the first half is this weird/dark psychedelic brooding track and the back half gets a little more classic blues rock. This whole album is split on me with moments like this. It closes with arguably the best doors song "Riders on the Storm" and some decent singles / tracks like Hyacinth House, Love Her Madly and L.A. Woman. Then it has some meh blues rock tracks like The Wasp or Been Down so Long or Car Hiss by the Window. It is not the untouchable masterpiece like their first self titled but it's worthwile.

The wikipedia article says that they wanted to "get back to their roots and make a blues album" but this album does best when it isn't being a blues album. The blues numbers are underwhelming to me.

3.75

fav songs: the changeling love her madly l.a. woman riders on the storm smoky, groovy ,garage-blues 60/100

This one was pretty good. I especially liked The Changeling.

I’m not the biggest Doors fan. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy them at all, cause some of their stuff is pretty great. But I don’t think I understand exactly why they seem so universally loved and regarded as some legendary band. This is one of their big records, and it’s not bad at all, but they play a lot of pretty standard blues progressions over and over and over. I dunno, it’s fine but I guess I’m just waiting to be truly blown away by their brilliance. To be fair, I did enjoy Morrison Hotel quite a bit (I probably rated it too low at a 3), though I've never circled back to it, so maybe I'm being a little hard on the Doors as a band because I'm not as in love with this record as I feel like I ought to be, at least according to my friends that are big fans. 6.5/10

Some great songs on this album that I like, but wouldn’t recommend listening to the whole album.

Bluesy Doors

Much like Morrison Hotel I came to this album thinking that I only knew one of the tracks, the big hit "Riders on the Storm". But actually I knew a few more than that. I also knew "L.A. Woman" and I was almost convinced that I knew "The Changeling" too, but felt I had heard it performed by another band. This is much more what I would expect from a The Doors album. There is more noodling and that reverb filter that makes Jim Morrison's voice sound a bit trippy. Its a more experimental funk and blues album and I enjoyed that more than i thought that I would. (3.250)

motel money murder madness!

Very chaotic

-Love her Madly: DONT YOU WANNA BE HER DADDY?!?! Okay in general love his voice. I think Hozier probably draws some inspiration from him? I think they are know for being "bluesy" so that tracks. Fun electric guitar too just in general. Riders on the storm isn't all that... lost me at "girl gotta love your man." Catchy tho Idk overall i see how they're influential with the bluesy rock hoarse voice style. I liked it, but i dont think I'd revisit it frequently.

Not all that keen on parts of this one but Riders is a banger

Good

Cool instrumentation/composition but I found the melodies to be underwhelming. Can 1000% see 70s teens hearing this album and buying guitars though. Good shredding.
