The Doors - The Doors Reviews

The Doors were formed in 1965 and had a relatively short recording career, primarily due to the death of front man and lyricist, Jim Morrison. That's what most of you probably know all ready, but how many of us have actually sat down and listened to their incredibly good back catalogue? The first thing that strikes you about The Doors ...  Read the complete review

The term 'classic' is used very freely and cheaply these days so I'm not going to use it. In fact, I'm going a stage further by saying that this is not arguably but easily one of the greatest albums of all time. Firstly, it's hard to believe that this is not a greatest hits album when actually it is a debut. Released in 1967 with much ...  Read the complete review

The Doors’ debut album is a breathtaking example of how a group can come from nowhere and steal all the attention. From the opening bass lines of Break On Through (To The Other Side) to the great grandiosity of the eleven minute epic The End, via fantastic singles such as Light My Fire, The Doors is an album that really creates a stir. ...  Read the complete review

Released in 1967, the Doors’ eponymous album remains one of the most breathtaking debuts in rock history, and immediately established the Jim Morrison legend. The themes that were to dominate the group’s career – death, sex, excess, and despair – are carried along by exuberant performances by each band-member, and ...  Read the complete review

This was the album that announced the Doors to the world! And what an announcement at that! Its ten tracks of deeply dark and brooding music that will make you stand up and notice what the Doors are all about. The first time I heard their unique sound I was totally blown away. Morrison has vocals that are very soft and gentle yet strong ...  Read the complete review

This, the first album by the Doors is a real mixed bag. As an album it doesn't hang together in the way that most classic albums do, for example, The Beatles Sergeant Pepper. Instead the originality of the tracks allows it to bypass the whole album thing, serving up a diverse mixture of theatrical and intense musical forays, with snappy little ...  Read the complete review
